Dear friend of KHCS,
You are no doubt aware of the rioting
that continues around the world due to the publication in a Danish
newspaper, last September, of a cartoon representing Mohammed.
Embassies have been torched, the lives
of European newspaper employees have been threatened, and in Pakistan, a
church was ransacked ─
Bibles and hymnbooks were thrown on the floor, trampled and spat upon.
One Christian woman’s legs were broken in the meleé.
Muslim clerics are demanding that
Western countries abolish the freedom of the press so that their
“sensibilities” are not hurt.
Yet, even when ten Baptist churches in
Alabama were burned recently, their response was summed up in the verse,
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
When an art museum displayed a
crucifix in a jar of urine ─
they called it “art” ─
Christians didn’t burn the museum to the ground.
And when NBC aired the TV series “The
Book of Daniel,” all Christians did was write letters.
I’m sure you can see the difference.
Islamic clerics claim that the laws of
every nation must be subject to Islamic law, that is, the saying and
traditions of Mohammed.
Some people I’ve talked to have said
that we should go out of our way to not offend Muslims. Well, I would
have to say that sounds great at first.
But Randall Terry, in the Christian
Newswire recently, made this point:
“If the British and the French had
condemned and resisted Hitler and the Nazis when the Rhineland, Austria,
or even Czechoslovakia fell into Nazi clutches
─ or at any time between
1933 and 1939 ─ Hitler
would have been toppled, arrested, and probably tried as a criminal by
German generals. Moreover, the momentum and machinations of war that
led to WWII would have ground to a halt. The British government was
successful in “not offending the Nazis,” and obtaining “peace in our
time,” yet it was all folly. It merely insured that war would come, and
that it would be catastrophic ─
nearly fatal to Europe and the entire British Empire.”
No, militant Islam is an imperialistic
movement, using religion as a shield. Christians must boldly confront
this cult, and its false prophet, with the truth of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
KHCS is doing our part to bring
Truth to the Coachella Valley and other areas of the desert with
Information and Inspiration, 24 hours a day.
Your tax-deductible contributions are
necessary for the continuation of this listener-supported ministry.
I have to report, however, that our
expenses are continuing in 2006 even though we have not yet caught up
with the budget for 2005. Our shortfall as I write this is almost
$50,000.
Your tangible expression of support
for our ministry on your behalf is vitally needed, right now. Please be
as generous as you can. Thank you!
In His
joy!
