There are Mosques all over the U.S., including one already blocks from where the controversial “Ground Zero Mosque” is set to be built. Illegal immigration is getting out of control and Washington D.C seems to be fine with it. What is the Biblical approach to these issues? How should Christians respond?

Art. 11. " As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
The Treaty of Tripoli, signed at Tripoli on November 4, 1796.
"Now be it known, That I John Adams, President of the United States of America, having seen and considered the said Treaty do, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, accept, ratify, and confirm the same, and every clause and article thereof. And to the End that the said Treaty may be observed, and performed with good Faith on the part of the United States, I have ordered the premises to be made public; And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office civil or military within the United States, and all other citizens or inhabitants thereof, faithfully to observe and fulfill the said Treaty and every clause and article thereof."
The mosques are nothing but masks hiding everything that America doesn't stand fo or will stand for. The Muslim faith is a strict unforgiving religio political structured life style at best. You cannot separate the their laws from their faith. Their compsssion is set aside just for their own and death to the infidels is their creed. There are always exceptions to the rule in every matter, but the Muslim exceptions are very miniscule to make an overall difference in their agenda.
Haven't ya'll read that we now have UN TROOPS on the ARIZONA BORDER. You know what is going to happen, now, don't you. think about it.
For decades illegal immigration has been totally ignored by our government with only token arrests being made to placate the honest citizens of this nation. It's to late to correct this intentionally designed oversight that has partially bankrupt us to the extent that a large segment of society is being made to depend upon subsidy entitlement programs that have made us slaves on a full stomach. If the government controls your food they control you, it's that simple.
As far as Islam is concerned, that is just another wedge being placed in the middle of our religious system that is being blown out of proportion by the media and government in order to divide us and to promote hate and violence that will be answered by Homeland Security and the use of International Armed Forces to control the innocent people of this nation.
As you can well see, the government is taking no position on if the mosque at ground zero in New York City should be established or not, but only allude to tolerance and puffed up patriotism that has absolutely nothing to do with the real far reaching agenda behind the establishment of the mosque. If the government allows the mosque to be built, then they will have no objection in having the KKK headquarters being built in the middle of Harlem, after all an insult is an insult regardless the degree of it.
Praise God! Someone (Joel) is finally being consistent and getting close to identifying the problem and therefore the biblical solution.
Like it or not, on this one, Obama and his liberal compadres are correct and the Constitutional Conservatives, who otherwise adamately stand on Amendment 1 do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to the mosque at Ground Zero or anywhere else in the United States. This is a First Amendment issue!
On the other hand, if you’re interested in how to biblically contest this mosque and all other temples built to gods other than Yahweh, please listen to "The Biblical Answer to the Islaminization of America" (http://www.kingdompromises.org/kingdompromises_audio/islaminization2.mp3), recently preached at a conference in Branson Missouri.
You might also find “Amendment 1: Government-Sanctioned Polytheism,” Chapter 11 of Bible Law vs. The United States Government: The Christian Perspective (http://www.missiontoisrael.org/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt11.php) helpful in this regard.
Christians can see what is happeing, which is why I do not believe that Obama is anywhere near being a christian.
God will take care of this…..you'll see.
A cult based on a murdering pedophile who incited the torture and murder of non Muslims. Who considered women to be property to be owned body and soul. Whose "priests" run the communities and countries they control. Who practice and praise Jihad against America. This is NOT a religion it is political machine that seeks to control every aspect of life.
Mormons were not allowed statehood until they altered their religion. Muslims should not be allowed to maintain Sharia law in the US.
Absolutely right! Islam is totally intertwined with government in many nations that suffer under tyrannical rule. Years ago we said the Communist party was prohibited in this country and it is evident that Islam is an equally dangerous organization dedicated to the takeover of our nation and replacing our constitution with Shariah law. We should not tolerate such an organization on our shores! It could well wind up destroying our nation and its freedoms! Decidedly not worth the huge risk! Islam should be treated as the subversive organization that it has proven to be!
Suicidal Muslims (However insane) are a Danger to themselves-! We have laws against violence, even for insane persons–maybe treatments by Doctors in mental institutions would be best for them-! Americans must consider–
"What's Best for the Public-Good-!" (Religion has nothing to do with Public-Safety-!) A "safety-hazzard" by law–must be fixed & inspected by authorities, otherwise, it stays "Condemned"-! After all, how many Muslims would have warned us, if they had known of the Plans for the "7-11 attack"-!? (Who said–"None-!?") (Can you see what I mean-?) Besides, this area is a Business-District, not a Convention-Center-! This Area has bad enough traffic as it is–why "Beg" to induct more New York City traffic–just because of a Religion-!? Stupidity Rules, even Muslims-!!
Part 2!
Something very fishy about Mayor Bloomburg?
His unbridled enthusiasm for an Islamic Mosque at GZ when 71% of New Yorker's don't want it warrants concern.
There should be a search of his PC hard-drive at his home, the Imam's home, the developer's home, etc.
I bet one would find all kinds of interesting things on their PC's?
In my opinion!
Someone needs to be looking into Mayor Bloomburg's connections to the GZ Mosque and Imam Rauf.
A billionaire who spent $100 million of his own money to win a $200,000.00 a year position seems funny
from the get-go. Now as Mayor he's giving lectures to American's on how we should treat a Mosque development at GZ like we're his children. The Mayor doesn't speak for me and he know's no more about our Constitution than the average American citizen. Maybe not as much as Janine Garafolo, but she's a genius. just ask her!
Mayor Bloomburg wants complete support for an Islamic Center at GZ, no books check, no funds investigated,
no concern's about developer with back taxes and million's to invest into property after leaving waiter duties just
a few years ago? I usually tip 15% to 25% depending on the service. The developer must have been one hell of
a waiter!!!
I'm 81 yrs, military-trained & am not confused-! I reject this "Zero-Mosque" being built–but not as a protest against Religion-! But in the Name of "The PUBLIC-GOOD"-! Our U.S. people have always had to give in, when they lost their "Private Property Rights" when their Property was condemned by local Govt. "FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD-!" Being that N.Y.City has gotten hit by 2 attacks by these "Insane" Radical Muslins, even idiots can see a need for "Common-Sense", & not allow a Future "Hostile-Base", which deems itself as a Muslim "Victory Monument" but is named a Super-Mosque–where deliveries of explosives & terrorists, is a non-restrictive destination-point of Danger for New York City-! Can N.Y. City protect itself from future attacks-? N.Y. Police (as infidels) will be denied permission to even 'search' that Mosque-! Being based near Subways, which can be 'trashed' with "nerve-gas" & "Dirty" Nuclear materials. We need some "Positive Rules for PUBLIC-SAFETY", which demands our attention!
illegals can sell without permit; drive without a lic. keep their children often in 'substandard' housing, and never worry about irs or exorbatent 'child support'….etc.
every kind of 'religion' operates here and only Christians are suffering in courts and workplaces.
The mosques are the Trojan Horse of modern day. They cannot beat us on the battlefield so their plan is to bat us from within. Come here have lots of kids. Teach them in the mosques about Sharia Law and to hell with our lawds and Constitution. AMERICA BEWARE!!!!!
Islam is NOT a religion.
Islam is a THEOCRACY, looking for another country to rule.
As a Theocracy rather than a religion, it is not protected by the First Amendment, which it violates by its very claim that Islam must be extended to all even by force.
"We will Build Our Mosques upon the Rubble of Your Destroyed Holy Places."
islam builds its house on the spilled lives and blood of others.
Lives and blood spilled by the islamic hand. Islam kills those
who do not do what its leaders want.
That is not holy, that is not righteous that is not Godly nor is it
condoned by God. That sir is the work of the devil. Which is why
Islam is the mosque (house) of Satan. Satan always has been
the great liar,deciever, murderer and now he has millions of lost
islamic souls in his hand to do his bidding.
Seek forgiveness for your sins and accept the free gift of God through
Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God. The true Savior.
That might not be as easy as you think in The USA. There are still Knights templars
you know I am a Christian and I say to you go ahead.. Ahmed eddie'56. Christ said "I will build my church" . Christ builds HIS church not by blocks on buildings. He builds HIS church in the Hearts and lives of the people who believe and accept HIM.
Part Two, It is a Federal law that my wife and others in the country legally have to have their documents on them at all times, yet the Federal government is suing Arizona for enforcing this law. I and my wife and others here in the U.SA. legally, just cannot understand this. Maybe you could do a program where you have people here in the U.S.A legally on your show to tell what they have to do and are told to do by immigration and how they feel about having to follow the law and the illegals do not have to. A lot of people do not know what the legals are required BY LAW to do to stay in the United States.
Thank you for your time.
I'm afraid your wrong in saying that the Federal immigration laws are not being enforced. What he should have said was the laws are being enforced but not against those in our country illegaly. I know because my wife is from the Philippines. She has had to abide by Federal immigration laws to be here in the U.S.A. She was also told verbally and in writing that she had to have her documents on her person at all times in case she is ever asked for them to prove she is in the country legally. There seems to be a double standard in our government. If they can ask my wife for her documents as proof she is here legally, then why do they tell the police and others that they cannot ask illegals for their documents to prove they are here legally?
