Call Me a ‘_____phobic’ Who Speaks the Truth!

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines ‘phobia’ as, “an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation.”
 
The so-called ‘Progressives’ love to brand anyone with logical moral disapproval of their unreasonable and immoral social deconstructionism as ‘phobic.’  It works like this: Take any objective evil, such as homosexual sin.  State its prefix (“homo”) then add “phobia,” and you’ve got it!  The person who holds to the longstanding precepts of authentic biblical sexual morality is no longer a “Judeo-Christian” but, rather, is magically transformed into that mythical creature called – “The Homophobe.”  The same applies to so-called “Islamophobia.”  Isn’t it really an “illogical fear” if Muslims are trying to kill you?
 
The ‘Progressives’ like to refer to Islam as the “religion of peace.”  In the words of Matt Barber the founder and editor-in-chief of BarbWire.com, “They are no more peace-loving as rape is snuggling.”  A central tenet of Islam is to convert, enslave or kill the infidel.  An infidel is anyone who is not Muslim or, depending on who’s doing the killing, belongs to a different sect of Islam.  Why, even those who fall into the category tagged ‘moderate Muslim,’ are also infidels.  Such ‘moderate Muslims’ embrace an apostate version of Islam that runs directly counter to the clear teachings of the Quran – “… slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” (Surah 9:5)
 
By the same token, there are ‘moderate [liberal] Christians,’ such as those belonging to the denominations that embrace certain apostasies that run directly counter to the biblical teachings of Christianity (which is the true “religion of peace”).  The devout followers of Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, are characteristically peaceful; while devout followers of the child-raping, woman-beheading ‘prophet’ Muhammad, who is Satan incarnate, are characteristically violent.  Let’s be clear: Islam is directly opposite of Christianity.  It is the difference of light and darkness.  While Christianity brings eternal life to those choosing to surrender to Jesus, who alone is “the Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6), Islam brings eternal death to those who surrender to Allah – “the best of deceivers” (“[A]nd Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers.” – Surah 3:54)
 
The Bible calls Satan a deceiver.  Revelation 12:9, for instance, explains that he “deceives the whole world.”  Even though liberals often claimed that Muslims, Christians and Jews “worship the same God,” nothing could be further from the truth.  Allah is not God; Allah is the deceiver. Insofar as Christianity, true Christianity, spreads peace, love and truth … true Islam, spreads violence, hate and deception.  Jehovah God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for the repentant individual’s sins on the cross of Calvary as a substitutionary sacrifice.  Islam’s Allah has his ‘prophet’ Muhammad calling for the self-sacrificial death of its followers.  It is the difference of life and death.
 
The secular ‘progressive’ mainstream media won’t adequately cover the Middle East that runs red with the blood of Christian and Jewish martyrs – because it doesn’t fit their narrative.  These are peaceful men, women and children … no different from us … being slaughtered by the tens-of-thousands at the wicked hands of the Islamic faithful.  While there are exceptions, the ‘left’ is overwhelmingly anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and pro-Muslim.  Liberals and Islamists, such as those belonging to the American-Islamic terrorist group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) have forged a bizarre and notably odd sociopolitical partnership.  The only explanation for this is best illustrated by the adage: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
 
Of course, the ‘common enemy’ is likewise signified by an alliance.  It consists of Christians and Jews worldwide.  It, too, is built around a shared cause.  But this cause, unlike that of the ‘Islamo-progressive’ axis, intends freedom, not tyranny; representative democracy, not control.  Most importantly, this Judeo-Christian cause is built upon the rock of truth given us by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God of the living, not the dead; the great “I Am.”
 
The common enemy to both the Muslim and the ‘progressive’ is truth. Which is to say: The common enemy is Christ Jesus … whose birth we venerate at Christmas.
