Unwittingly at War

WAGING PEACE PROJECT

Helping Christians to Love Muslims and Oppose Islam

Unwittingly at War: and a Pursuit of Peace
by Darrell W. Pack

Let's face some important facts:

• A vastly overwhelming number of Muslims are good neighbors, friends and citizens and represent no danger to you or anyone you know.
• Few Christians take the time or make the effort to interact with Muslims. (Too bad!)
• Islam is a religion capable of inspiring great human social and ethical progress.
• Islam is also an ideological platform capable of inspiring terrible, systemic violence.
• Followers of ideological Islam have declared war on Western civilization, Israel, and Judeo-Christian values.
• Some followers of ideological Islam believe that they can best pursue their objective of defeating the West by building within western nations an increasingly powerful presence for Islam and waiting for an opportunity to take over in a kind of bloodless cultural coup.
• Some followers of ideological Islam believe that only violence can get them to the place where they can overcome the West.

So What's this Waging Peace Project Blog About?

     Sometimes I will be informing the readers about Islam, the Quran, and Muslims. Sometimes I will be dealing with relevant news issues concerning the Middle East, Islam, Israel and how it impacts us here and now. Sometimes I will be looking at Biblical prophecy. But no matter what the given topic for the day, the two-fold objective will remain: 

1. I want to equip Christians to lovingly pursue peace with Muslims, and
2. I want to equip Americans who love their nation to oppose the ideology of Islam.

Imagine

     What if every church and each Christian in America made a simple decision to actively love Muslims in their communities? What if they committed to engage in simple but real acts of friendship and hospitality? What if they communicated care for Christ's sake to as many Muslims as they could? How powerfully would this affect Muslims?

     I know some of you are thinking right now, "But they're bad and scary."

     Some are. The vast majority are not.

     But either way, Christians are called to love our enemies. That is Christ's command. Our best weapon is love. Love cannot just be a concept, it must be lived out. This blog will give you the real-world help you need to engage in this aspect of spiritual warfare. Imagine if millions of Christians around the nation committed to know, care for, and love Muslims in their neighborhoods. That's waging peace.

Imagine

     What if Americans--Christian, Jewish, agnostic, atheist, Muslims and all others--recognized the real danger that ideological (Jihadi) Islam represents to our freedoms and to the future of our nation and chose to oppose all legal, social, and religious efforts to make a place for such an ideology of hatred and oppression. That is waging peace as well. 

     Friend, had millions of "normal" Germans saw the ideology of Nazism for the dangerous lie that it truly was and opposed it legally and socially with truth accurately presented, how much evil would have been averted? We wage peace with both love and truth. A stealth jihad against the West must be opposed, not because we do not care for and accept Muslims, but because we cannot allow Islamic sharia' law to supplant the U.S. constitution. To fail to oppose the ideology of Islam is to invite Islamic oppression of women, gays, Jews, Christians and, in fact, all non-Muslims. 

Imagine

     We chose not to get informed (You really should read this blog regularly and pass it on) and we chose not to engage. Maybe we should all just recall the famous quote for Rev. Martin Niemöller (1892-1984), a prominent Protestant pastor and outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler. He spent seven years in Nazi concentration camps, He said:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- 

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- 

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
