The Media Assault on Protestant Christianity Continues
Grace and peace.
In our post entitled, “In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor” we discuss how the media associates Biblical Christianity with terrorism by calling it “fundamentalism,” the same term applied to Islāmic terrorism. In “The Occult Significance of the Norway Shooting” we explain how the media is using the same technique to claim that the alleged shooter, Anders Breivik, was on a Christian “crusade,” by stating that he posted his views on “fundamentalist” websites. Now, in a further development, the Associated Press takes an even bolder step toward brainwashing the populace into accepting this scurrilous allegation.
In an article entitled “’Christian Terrorist?’ Norway Case Strikes Debate,” the author makes the claim that Breivik “is being called a “Christian extremist” or “Christian terrorist,” going so far as to even include this unfounded allegation in the title of the article, which he cleverly masks as a query.
The problem with this is that the author only cites two sources for his contention. Two opinions is hardly a consensus, yet that doesn’t deter the author, who goes on to quote a college professor who apparently wrote an essay “likening Breivik to Timothy McVeigh.” The media made this same association in the immediate aftermath of the Norway incident. But where the previous article made only a subtle allusion, this article makes an explicit and damning accusation:
“McVeigh and Breivik were both ‘good-looking young Caucasians,’ self-enlisted soldiers in an imagined cosmic war to save Christendom…and both were Christian terrorists.”
How the media can call Breivik a “Christian terrorist” based on these unsubstantiated claims beggars the imagination. The media hate Christianity. The article continues this vitriol:
“For Christians who think of their faith as preaching peace, how to explain the faith-sanctioned killing of the Crusades?”
The media always reanimate the bloody Crusades when they want to paint Christianity as violent extremism. But as any first-year history student knows (that is, any history student that hasn’t been brainwashed by a liberal, Jesuit-run school), the Crusades were sponsored by the Roman Catholic church, which is not Christian, no matter how much the pope says it is.
Any discerning Christian would expect the liberal, Jesus-hating media to pull this type of stunt, but even so-called Protestant Christian clergymen are pattering this rhetoric, including the pastor of an AME church in Philadelphia, who said,
“It clearly puts us in a position where we can’t simply say that extreme and violent behavior associated with a religious belief is somehow restricted to Muslim extremists.”
By his words, this pastor, just like the media, associates Christianity with Islāmic terrorism. This is not totally surprising, however, because even the apostle Paul said that he was often “in danger of false brethren.”
The article even goes so far as to refer to the Ku Klux Klan’s burning of crosses as a form of Christian terrorism. Though the Klan are indeed terrorists, no one in his right mind believes they are Christian. Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and the true Christian church never did the things the Klan has.
Again, the media’s association of Christianity with all this bloodshed is designed to discredit the Christian church by making Christianity appear violent and extreme and a threat to “peace and security.” This is in preparation for the planned “cleansing”: the persecution of the Christian church. Soon, thanks to the media, the Christian church will appear more violent than Islam; that is, until American Islam is in a comfortable enough place to show its true character. And this is not very far off. The Muslim public relations efforts are about as effective as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’.
A chilling portent was offered by Arsalan Iftikhar, an “international human rights lawyer and author of the book ‘Islamic Pacifism: Global Muslims in the Post-Osama Era,’” who says that the effect of the media’s association of Christianity with terrorism would be “to restart a debate on the term terrorism, and [to whom] and when the term should be applied.”
I hope you understand the import of Iftikhar’s words, dear readers, for make no mistake: they were prophetic. Iftikhar is talking about a global debate on terrorism and that means the United Nations. If the United Nations gets involved, you can rest assured that any resolution on terrorism will supersede our Constitution, because the Constitution has already been subordinated to the United Nations by treaty. That will spell doom for our freedoms—including freedom of speech—and that will effect the ability of Christians to witness. That, my friends, is the end game. Watch for this to happen.
What is especially troubling is that this prediction was made by a Muslim. When a Muslim can make such a bold statement given the history, doctrine, and goals of Islam, you know we are in trouble.
In case you didn’t know, Saudi Arabia just passed a law that makes any dissension against the government a terrorist act. A couple of years ago, a similar bill was introduced into Congress. Truth be told, the USA PATRIOT Act already accomplishes this; it just hasn’t been enforced yet. But it will. Saints, we are truly in the last days of the Last Days.
If Christianity is considered terrorism—and there is every indication that it will be—then anything a Christian does will be considered terrorism—this includes witnessing, and passing out Christian literature such as Gospel tracts. The Bible then, will be considered terrorist literature. Some in the homosexual movement are already pushing for the Bible to be considered hate literature for its condemnation of their abominable lifestyle.
Before all this happens, saints, while it is still legal to witness, while it is still legal to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we need to get out there and witness to a lost and dying world.
Jesus told us these things would happen and that they must come to pass, so we are not to be troubled. We are however, to be prepared. Therefore, watch and pray. And by all means, saints, witness, while we still can. One day soon, witnessing will be considered terrorism, and the price of winning a soul will be martyrdom.
If you now realize that the Norway massacre is a part of prophesied events, and you now realize that if the Bible was right about events like Norway, it may be right about God’s coming judgment on this sinful world, you need to get saved now, while there’s still time.
Be encouraged and look up; your redemption draweth nigh.
