PART III: A Right Response
Chapter 9: What Is Happening in America Today? (part 2)
“Son of man, speak to your people and say to them, If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and make him their watchman, 3and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head..” Ezekiel 33:2-4
“Our work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization within.”
Mohamed Akram, Muslim Brotherhood
*It is critical to remember that Islam is not merely a religion – it is a
detailed system of laws that regulate all of life . It is economic,
political, social, military, legal and religious.
*Islam governs all aspect so civil society and human life , both
public and private
*Observant Muslims view Sharia as superseding all other lawa
*MOST Muslims globally do not support the idea of the forced
implementation of Sharia law – HOWEVER . . . it is the
extremists who wield the political and religious power and
authority in Islam
Is America Vulnerable?
*Remember the objective of Islamists:
=to implement Sharia law globally
=to reestablish the global caliphate (Islamic State)
*Could they establish a caliphate here in the US?

"Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Allahu akbar!”
“It is in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.”
Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.” —
Omar Ahmad, co-founder of CAIR

“Islam is a revolutionary ideology, a revolutionary program (agenda) to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals . . . the purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and program regardless of which nation assumes the role of standard bearer of Islam.”
Abu Ala Maududi, Jihad in the Cause of Allah
The greatest mistake we as Christians can make is to resent Muslims and think they are all the same. They aren’t. Just as Christians don’t like to be painted with a broad brush, we should not treat all Muslims as if they were at war with the West. It would be a tragedy if we failed to realize we are not only faced with a great challenge, but we have also been gives a wonderful opportunity.” Lutzer, p. 199
