I can certainly sympathize with the great responsibility political leaders have in our country during this time of tragedy. I understand that they must be careful to do their part in restraining and discouraging any persecution of citizens of Middle Eastern descent. However, we have reached a point of "politically correct" insanity. When our country was founded, "toleration" never meant approval or agreement. Suddenly, many of our political leaders and media spokesmen have become theologians, teaching the country that there is no difference in the major religions and that it somehow "hatred of people" to teach that another religion is false.

The proper response of these leaders should be to say something to the effect of:
"There are many nominal Muslims in this country that reject the dangerous doctrines taught in the Koran and throughout fundamental Islam. They don't believe they should kill Jews or Christians. They don't believe they will be rewarded in Paradise for such atrocities. Nevertheless, we know that the world is filled with Muslims who do attempt to follow the Koran in detail. They believe the fundamental tenants of the Islamic religion. These people are dangerous. These people are to blame for the horrific events on September 11. I am not calling people to give up their beliefs. I am not calling you to accept the nominal form of the Islamic religion practiced by many in this country as true. No, in this country you have a right to speak your mind, to debate, and to peaceably make converts. This is one major thing that makes our country different than the dangerous Islamic countries. If everything is true, then nothing is true. However, I am calling people in this country to refrain from criminal acts of hatred or fear against people of Middle Eastern descent. We must protect our country from those who would seek to destroy it from without or within. But we must not start a mad witchhunt against law-abiding Americans simply on the basis of their skin color or style of dress. And as far as religion goes, you can't assume that every Muslim believes the same way."

I don't really expect to get such a statement out of a major political or media leader today. However, I do expect them to quit making theological statements that blaspheme the Christian God and the fundamental tenants of Christianity. These political leaders and media spokesmen have a right to their beliefs. If they want to believe in some form of Religious Syncretism, they have a right to it under the laws of our nation.

Yet, if they choose to use their platforms to teach a liberal, unbiblical "Sunday School Class" to the citizens of America, fundamental Christians also have the right and the responsibility before GOD to refute their faulty, Biblical interpretations:

2 Timothy 4:2 ...reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

2 Timothy 4:3 ...For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

2 Timothy 4:4 ...And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

John the Baptist once reproved Herod for his adultery (Mar.6:17,18). We must likewise reprove our noble leaders when they profess Christ and yet make statements or prayers that applaud "Allah" as a true "God", equal with the one true God of the Christian Bible.

If the current President, and/or his administration continues to approach the issue along the lines of his "previous religious studies," and he fails to acknowledge that we are fundamentally a Christian Nation, he will be ousted in the very next Presidential polling.

God Bless,
