Across U.S., church leaders have been calling for reform — or is it “jihad?”

August 22, 2008

Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas J. Tobin’s criticism of U.S. immigration policy and his condemnation of recent raids reflect the views of Catholic bishops and other religious leaders around the country — and of Pope Benedict XVI, who called for immigration reform in his visit to the United States this spring.

Some churches have gone further, offering sanctuary to illegal immigrants facing arrest by ICE agents.  >>>>>

When it’s a bishop calling for change, it’s reform; when it’s an imam (Muslim clergyman), it is called jihad.  Only Muslims are accused of not liking our way of life.  The bishop doesn’t like what is happening in the U.S., and is willing to call on people to commit crimes to prevent the injustices.  When Muslims say, you’re “killing us, please stop,” – Americans waged war (i.e. – Afghanistan, Iraq). 

The perpetrators of the war(s) are not only seeking oil; they’re counting on reducing their chances for future political, cultural and even military incursions by Muslims that may compel the efforts of imperialism.  No offense to the Catholics.  Your actions, which may be illegal, are understood to be humanitarian in nature; hopefully the government will not use this as an excuse to close down churches.

This is not a war against the Islamic world.  This is a war against the believing people – fought on many fronts.  The world is shaping up as prophesied; the believers against non-believers.  The believers are those who want to do by God – I see them as religious practitioners.  The falsehoods of those practitioners who are waging crimes against humanity are not going unnoticed.  Our global diary clerk, the UN, human rights organizations, churches, mosques, synagogues and temples all over the world have people who see the atrocities and have spoken out — at least with their prayers.
