1 00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:05,940 tolerance there is no diversity there is no common center for mutual understanding this is 2 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:12,699 all western progressive nonsense talk in islam there is only the dar al-islam that is the house 3 00:00:12,699 --> 00:00:18,620 of islam that is true muslim believers and even that is up to debate muslims kill each other 4 00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:24,559 over what exactly the definition of a true muslim is and then there is the other house 5 00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:34,299 the dar al-harb that is the house of war and that is all non-muslims as the dar al-harb the house of war 6 00:00:34,299 --> 00:00:40,719 you dear christian are either one or the other you are either muslim or you are else a 7 00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:49,340 fakir an unclean one an unbeliever and if you are of the house of war then you are the object of 8 00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:55,679 eternal hostility even as we see today until you either convert to islam die or else become 9 00:00:55,679 --> 00:01:03,460 what is called a demi which is a shamed subjugated despised and severely taxed minority in a muslim 10 00:01:03,460 --> 00:01:12,280 society so do you truly understand your options deluded american christian so many of you are living 11 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,280 in a fool's paradise of americana that you think none of this will ever touch you it's all for the 12 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,379 headlines and no one else continue in your world of cell phones revelation red heifer pre-trib rapture 13 00:01:23,379 --> 00:01:29,299 hopes and your contemporary christian praise band good time feeling worship center sundays 14 00:01:29,299 --> 00:01:35,260 isis will soon be at the door of your worship center bookstore coffee bar to forcibly replace 15 00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:40,299 your bibles with quran's to put your women in burqas and to have you confessing allah is god and 16 00:01:40,299 --> 00:01:47,680 muhammad is his prophet rather than jesus is lord so christians instead of responding like biblical 17 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,379 sheepdogs of the gospel which we should we are nevertheless responding like mindless sheep 18 00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:59,480 to the encroachments of the wolf christians today and pastors and churches are passively allowing the 19 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,719 beast to ravage the flock you had better think through these issues christian and clearly because 20 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:09,560 we are going to be facing islam as an increasingly militant force in our country for the foreseeable 21 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:17,879 future islamic terror events will multiply and muslims will only feel emboldened by a passive 22 00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:24,360 and ignorant christian majority you will find no protection christian and you will find no relief 23 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,879 from government quarters either this administration rather has worked closely with the muslim brotherhood 24 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:35,740 and worked closely with saudi arabia to arm and assist isis that is the islamic state in syria 25 00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:42,860 in its conquest in egypt libya iraq and now syria obama is living as if he is a radical muslim 26 00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:48,860 himself even if he is not one in reality and that's debatable and he has also aided and abetted our 27 00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:53,580 enemies as they slaughter our brothers and sisters as they crucify them burn them and cut off their heads 28 00:02:53,580 --> 00:03:00,780 this administration has supplied isis with arms and military intelligence with the foolish belief that isis is 29 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:05,979 better than the dictators they replace now our own troops are facing an enemy equipped with weapons 30 00:03:05,979 --> 00:03:15,020 that are the best in the world because they are our weapons oh shameful obama should be tried and put 31 00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:21,740 in guantanamo bay rather than trying to close it well how should the christian then respond to islam 32 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:27,819 today in its current state uh i have suggested six ways three of which we detailed last week for example 33 00:03:27,819 --> 00:03:33,020 last week we saw number one the christian must respond with the truth of christ islam is not a 34 00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:38,060 companion religion to christianity islam is not one of the three great monotheistic religions of the 35 00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:44,060 world islam and christianity do not have shared truths to serve as common ground yahweh of the bible 36 00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:50,620 and allah of the quran are not different names and different revelations of the same deity no this is 37 00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:56,780 all weak sniveling drivel from teachers whose desire is to compromise and go along to get along even if it 38 00:03:56,780 --> 00:04:03,180 means giving away all the essential truths of the biblical faith islam and christianity are opposite 39 00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:09,259 diametrically opposed religions 180 degrees in opposition to one another allah is not the god of 40 00:04:09,259 --> 00:04:14,780 the bible the christ of the quran is not the christ of the bible and the ways of salvation in the quran 41 00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:20,860 are those of works while those of the bible are the ways of grace and secondly we also saw that the 42 00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:26,540 christian must respond with the love of christ because ultimately muslims are lost sinners 43 00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:32,220 like the vast majority of mankind even in the midst of their savage butchery we saw muslims can be 44 00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:37,980 humbled to see the love of god the bible says god shows his love for us in that while we were yet 45 00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:45,420 sinners christ died for us we are obligated to show this in word and indeed as christians to all wherever 46 00:04:45,420 --> 00:04:51,740 and however possible and when we are persecuted and slain and reviled we are to nevertheless love those 47 00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:57,019 who are our enemies jesus said love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you but is this the 48 00:04:57,019 --> 00:05:03,019 only and the exclusive response to islam that we should have we also saw last week no there is the 49 00:05:03,019 --> 00:05:10,060 response number three that is the christian today must respond with appropriate self-defense the christian 50 00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:15,259 must respond with appropriate self-defense no matter how politically incorrect this may be in the minds of 51 00:05:15,259 --> 00:05:22,139 the progressive this was an important segment because christians are so ill-informed regarding the second 52 00:05:22,139 --> 00:05:27,899 amendment and self-defense we observe for example that every christian action can be guided for 53 00:05:27,899 --> 00:05:32,459 direction depending upon the covenant under which it falls there are four of these covenants that are 54 00:05:32,459 --> 00:05:36,860 still operative today and for which god holds us accountable there is for example the covenant of 55 00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:43,019 creation in which we find the dominion mandate to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and take 56 00:05:43,019 --> 00:05:48,139 dominion of it and then there is the marriage covenant in which we find fruitful companionship 57 00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:53,980 and helpmates for our lives and progeny for the future in the marriage covenant and then we also saw 58 00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:58,779 there that there is the covenant of redemption or sometimes called the covenant of grace in which 59 00:05:58,779 --> 00:06:05,500 god gave to his son jesus a people the church and in which we the people find salvation by grace through 60 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:11,740 faith in that jesus christ and then finally there is the civil covenant in which we order our lives 61 00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:17,180 under god established in genesis we order our lives under god by governing ourselves according to god's 62 00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:23,100 will so then it is under this fourth covenant the civil covenant that appropriate south defense 63 00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:28,860 and the second amendment falls we saw in some detail how the bible requires us to defend the weak 64 00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:33,819 and the defenseless to defend ourselves and our families and our communities and then for christians 65 00:06:33,819 --> 00:06:38,699 today to just roll over and say we are commanded to love our enemies so i must let the muslim 66 00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:46,139 jihadist rape my wife kill her and my children and then i must turn the other cheek this is not only 67 00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:51,980 cowardly and stupid but it is a misunderstanding of what action is appropriate when and under what 68 00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:58,779 covenant determining what action is appropriate at what time requires biblical wisdom akin to that of 69 00:06:58,779 --> 00:07:04,620 solomon you remember solomon in ecclesiastes chapter 3 he says for everything there is a season and there 70 00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:11,660 is a time for every matter under heaven and then he goes on to articulate some of them in in contraries 71 00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:17,579 he says a time to be born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted 72 00:07:17,579 --> 00:07:23,980 a time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build up a time to weep and a time to 73 00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:29,660 laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones 74 00:07:29,660 --> 00:07:36,459 together a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing a time to seek and a time to lose 75 00:07:36,459 --> 00:07:42,540 a time to keep and a time to cast away a time to tear and a time to sew a time to keep silence and a 76 00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:49,819 time to speak that's today oh a time to love and a time to hate a time for war and a time for peace 77 00:07:49,819 --> 00:07:54,120 unquote, Ecclesiastes chapter three, verses one through eight. So as you can see, there is no 78 00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,060 absolute prescription for any particular behavior as the Anabaptist pietistic pacifist school 79 00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:05,379 understands it. No, rather the man of biblical wisdom knows when the appropriate time to defend 80 00:08:05,379 --> 00:08:10,579 himself arises and when he should turn the other cheek when persecuted. The key to understanding 81 00:08:10,579 --> 00:08:15,339 our right to self-defense or any other act for that matter of the Christian, the key to 82 00:08:15,339 --> 00:08:21,160 understanding of this is understanding under which covenant we are acting in true biblical wisdom. 83 00:08:21,699 --> 00:08:28,199 And I refer you then to the entire lecture of last week for more detail. Just understand, 84 00:08:28,259 --> 00:08:34,399 your listener, that there is appropriate self-defense expected of you, Christian, when Islam is at our 85 00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:41,440 doorstep and venting their demonic jihad upon us. But individual self-defense is not the only response 86 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,700 the Christian should have. This brings me to Christian response number four to Islam. Christian 87 00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:53,080 response number four to Islam. Number four, the Christian must respond with appropriate cultural 88 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:59,100 and societal defense. This means police and military, of course, but other things as well, 89 00:08:59,379 --> 00:09:05,340 appropriate cultural and societal defense. Do not go hide in your basement under a bushel while 90 00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:11,139 Muslims advance what passes for culture in Islam while destroying our culture. Just in the last week, 91 00:09:11,139 --> 00:09:17,419 a Muslim smashed a church in Malmo, Sweden, and another Muslim defaced a statue in Bologna, Italy with 92 00:09:17,419 --> 00:09:24,740 the words, Allah Akbar. And when the Imam Ahmed Al-Tayyib met with Pope Francis recently, the Imam 93 00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:30,519 demanded that all of the statuary and crosses and artifacts in the Vatican be removed or covered. 94 00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:37,779 He was so offended. This weak and vacillating Pope went and did it. Know and understand as well in 95 00:09:37,779 --> 00:09:43,519 this cultural and societal defense that Islam does not allow the human form to be represented in art. 96 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:50,779 This has consequences as well for art in general. When the Muslim army conquered Alexandria, Egypt in 641, 97 00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:56,899 for example, under the Caliph Omar, Omar was asked by a subordinate, what should be done with all of the 98 00:09:56,899 --> 00:10:04,340 books in the great world-renowned library of Alexandria? And the renown of that library reverberated not only in 99 00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:09,399 its own day, but also down to our own day. So great was it, so many holdings that they have. And Omar said, 100 00:10:09,580 --> 00:10:14,940 these books contradict the Quran, they deserve to be burned. If they agree with the Quran, they are 101 00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:22,059 unnecessary and irrelevant. Therefore, burn them all. It took six months to do it. This is an iconic 102 00:10:22,059 --> 00:10:29,179 example of Islam's attitude towards learning and towards understanding the world around them. Islam also 103 00:10:29,179 --> 00:10:35,399 prohibits all music. Do you understand this? Islam prohibits all music with only a very small minority of teachers 104 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:43,120 dissenting from this opinion. And this opinion is based on one Quranic verse that condemns, quote unquote, idle talk. 105 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:51,700 And most imams interpret idle talk as referring to music. On and on we could go. But all you have to do is cast your 106 00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:58,360 attention across the world today and recent centuries and past centuries, and you observe a vast, rich, 107 00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:04,000 teeming culture and society in the West, which has been inspired by notions of liberty and freedom 108 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,679 of expression, fostered by biblical Christianity, and then turn and compare it with the barren dead culture 109 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:17,480 as the inheritance of Islam. Who goes to Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan or Iraq for art, food, or music? 110 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,440 Where's the Pakistani symphony orchestra? Where's the art institute of Saudi Arabia? Can you find a 111 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,340 bacon-wrapped goat burger in Afghanistan or maybe find a single soup Nazi in Syria? Or can you find the 112 00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:35,460 series diners, drive-ins, and dives of Iran? No. Where's the food channel or the music channel on 113 00:11:35,460 --> 00:11:41,720 Al Jazeera TV? Have you ever had a glass of Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon from Libya? How about a fine 114 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:47,460 microbrew from Kuwait? Wherever Islam predominates, it brings a culture of death in its wake. 115 00:11:47,659 --> 00:11:54,519 Islam kills all of these things. And Islam is this dead culture of death, and they wish to bring it 116 00:11:54,519 --> 00:12:01,320 to us with these army of refugees flooding our borders and our cities. And yet cowardly, obsequious 117 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,159 Westerners bow and scrape before stern Muslim Puritans as if these empty haters had something 118 00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:12,360 to offer to enrich and edify us in Islam. Americans have been so browbeaten and bitch-slapped by Muslim 119 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,159 apologists and progressives on how America is the source of all evil and has nothing to offer the world 120 00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:22,139 that we accept it. We accept it as gospel, and we're willing to give away the steak and lobster 121 00:12:22,139 --> 00:12:28,679 we have for the gruel and goat Islam has to offer. Even worse, Christians, who of all people should know 122 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,779 better, retreat into their evangelical cocoons, and they put their blinders on and say, all we need to 123 00:12:33,779 --> 00:12:40,059 do is share the gospel and wait for the rapture, right? What a cop-out. The gospel applies to every 124 00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:48,039 area of life and culture or to none at all. It really is time for us in the West to come to the defense 125 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:54,759 of our heritage and our homes, O Christian. This means a literal, physical defense of our borders, 126 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:02,539 a defense of our religious faith, and a national sovereignty defense as well. Islam really has 127 00:13:02,539 --> 00:13:08,539 ambitions to conquer the world politically and militarily and religiously. The Quran says, for 128 00:13:08,539 --> 00:13:13,899 example, in Surah 61, verse 9, it is he, that is Allah, who has sent his messenger forth, that is 129 00:13:13,899 --> 00:13:19,179 Muhammad, with the guidance and the religion of truth to make it triumph over every other religion, even 130 00:13:19,179 --> 00:13:24,659 though the idolaters may be averse, unquote. Many other verses like this are taken by mainstream Islam 131 00:13:24,659 --> 00:13:31,259 as a license for world conquest. Do you realize, O Christian, how inspiring it is to Muslims all over 132 00:13:31,259 --> 00:13:38,399 the world to the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria? Omar Mateen pledged himself to ISIS before going on his 133 00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:43,460 slaughter spree in Florida. The same is true of the couple in San Bernardino. In fact, CNN reports that 134 00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:50,740 ISIS has either carried on or inspired over 90 attacks in 21 countries since its inception. And we will see 135 00:13:50,740 --> 00:13:56,519 them, ISIS, that is, radical Islam, Al-Qaeda by another name, here in the United States with increasing 136 00:13:56,519 --> 00:14:02,580 frequency. Howsoever the individual Christian responds, we as a group, as a society, must defend 137 00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:08,200 ourselves and our families and communities. Worldwide, we must deliberately prepare to fight on a global 138 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,919 front, Muslim aggression, wherever it appears. And nationally, we must stop our suicidal trend of 139 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:20,340 self-denial in refusing to call the problem with Islam what it is. That is, Islam's cultural 140 00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:29,679 societal and military jihad upon the rest of us. The problem with Islam is Islam. Islam is intolerant 141 00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:34,700 of Christ, Christianity, and the West. Wherever Muslims go in the West, they sequester themselves 142 00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:40,740 in Muslim ghettos, and they practice a culture of jihad upon their host nations. It has done so 143 00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:46,340 wherever it has taken root. Wherever Europe or here, look around you, look in Europe, that's what 144 00:14:46,340 --> 00:14:51,740 happening at what is happening there, or here. What is happening in Europe will happen here. 145 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,299 Eventually, open your eyes, look about you. Oh, Christian, I'm speaking to Christians in 146 00:14:56,299 --> 00:15:02,500 particular. We must defend our own cultures and way of life against the jihad. Muslims do not 147 00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:07,940 integrate into their host cultures. Immigration from such cultures must be stopped. A broad program 148 00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:13,700 of education must be launched that takes pride in Western heritage again. For too many generations, 149 00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:18,480 progressives had deliberately inculcated shame and disparagement of the West in general and 150 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,960 Christianity in particular. We are losing what we once had and who we once were. The Christian 151 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,080 church has been complicit in this too, cowardly. In the name of pluralism, Christians have allowed 152 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:36,039 the forces of secularism in religion, statism in politics, and socialism in our economy to overwhelm what 153 00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:40,600 we once were. That is, we once were and must return to Christ as the focus of our religion, 154 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:46,419 the Constitution as the focus of our political life, and capitalism as the ground of our economic life 155 00:15:46,419 --> 00:15:52,720 together. The three C's versus the three S's. The three C's, Christ, capitalism, and constitution 156 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:59,379 versus secularism, statism, and socialism. Tolerance, pluralism, and diversity is the mantra 157 00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:04,820 of progressives, excuse me, unless it involves Christ and Christianity, though. Then, in the name of 158 00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:08,600 separation of church and state, it is the Christians that must sit down, shut up, and mind your place. 159 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,559 While we, the progressives, nurture these poor, misunderstood Muslims who, in reality, practice 160 00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:20,379 the most intolerant religion on the face of the earth. So, our police, security agencies, and 161 00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:26,059 intelligence agencies must begin to protect us. The Obama administration has not protected 162 00:16:26,059 --> 00:16:34,059 the American people. No, they have been busy about creating safe spaces for LGBT people and 163 00:16:34,059 --> 00:16:41,200 other so-called minorities on college campuses. Oh, so busy creating safe spaces for these, while 164 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,679 ignoring the safe spaces generally and broadly for the American people against terrorism. 165 00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:52,000 The New York Post reports that the United States has experienced a major terrorist attack every year 166 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,139 under Obama, with many more abroad. We were safer under George Bush than Obama, even though I have my 167 00:16:58,139 --> 00:17:03,379 issues with Bush. It is one of the prime directors of government, period, is to keep us safe. Our own 168 00:17:03,379 --> 00:17:09,559 constitution, the preamble, says that in order to ensure domestic tranquility, and that's peace at 169 00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:14,880 home, and then provide for the common defense. Oh, dear listener, government is supposed to do these 170 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,339 things. Even the Bible insists rescue those being led away to death. Hold back those staggering towards 171 00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:24,940 slaughter. That's for the magistrate. The magistrate, the psalmist, also says about him, 172 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:29,619 may he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, 173 00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:37,039 and crush the oppressor. Rise up, then, Christian, out of your slumber and learn biblical wisdom. There 174 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:41,319 is a time to turn the other cheek and love your enemy when our life and our actions and our witness 175 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:46,720 fall under the rubric of the covenant of redemption and grace. But then there is also a time for the 176 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,819 church to insist that government defend those it is commissioned to protect. That is, when those actions 177 00:17:51,819 --> 00:17:56,119 fall under the rubric of the civil covenant, you must understand covenant or you understand 178 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:01,779 nothing at all about the Bible. It is time for you, O Christian, and it is time for your church and 179 00:18:01,779 --> 00:18:06,680 your pastor to defend your faith and culture against Islamic jihad and insist that government 180 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,759 defend us militarily and criminally against the violence of Islamic jihad. And this brings me to 181 00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:18,279 my fifth point. That is, number five, Christians must respond to Islam with the proven solutions of 182 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:25,259 history. Christians must respond to Islam with the proven solutions of history. And there are proven 183 00:18:25,259 --> 00:18:31,259 solutions, even though there's been a historical blackout concerning them. How pathetic the politically 184 00:18:31,259 --> 00:18:36,940 correct ignorance of the American people. Our either incompetent or deliberately appeasing leaders 185 00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:43,720 treat the problem of Islam and fashion solutions to Islam as if it were some brand new phenomenon on 186 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,400 the world stage. Oh, and they tell us, oh, this normally nice religion of peace has been hijacked 187 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,880 by extremists. And we must scramble to come up with the ways to cope with them while not offending 188 00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:00,819 the bulk of peaceful law-abiding Muslims who mean us no harm and only want to practice Islam in an atmosphere 189 00:19:00,819 --> 00:19:08,380 of harmony, tolerance, diversity, and peace. Oh my goodness, isn't this something of the crack fed to us 190 00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:14,579 by this administration and others in the progressive apologist camp? We wring our hands in great angst 191 00:19:14,579 --> 00:19:18,839 and assemble study committees of the best and brightest to brainstorm strategies as if 9-11, 192 00:19:18,980 --> 00:19:24,180 Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and ISIS have all appeared in an historical vacuum. How foolish. 193 00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:30,759 We have been fighting this war with Islam for some 1,400 years. This is the reality. It is not a war with 194 00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:36,140 extremists who have hijacked an otherwise peaceful religion. It is a war with a religion whose heart, 195 00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:41,980 soul, and essence is that of conversion and conquest by jihad. If you're told anything else, it's a lie, 196 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,980 whether from the models of Muslims who practice the doctrine of taqiyah, which doctrine says that 197 00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:53,940 whereby lying to kafir is no sin and actually a good thing if it advances Islam. Kafir are unbelievers. 198 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,539 Or whether you're told this by weak, silly, and duped progressives, it is a lie. The truth is, 199 00:19:59,539 --> 00:20:05,680 in this 1,400-year struggle, we in the West have found ways to successfully respond to Islam 200 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:12,619 when it is waxing aggressive, even as it is today. And one apt and pertinent example is from our own 201 00:20:12,619 --> 00:20:19,900 history. And it demonstrates that what Islam understands is force. Because at the dawn of the 202 00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:25,960 19th century, Muslim pirates off the Barbary coast of Africa in the Mediterranean Sea regularly and 203 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,140 cynically raided merchant ships of the world, including those sailing the waters of the 204 00:20:30,140 --> 00:20:36,140 Mediterranean from the United States. Muslim pirate ships demanded tribute from then-President 205 00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:40,380 Thomas Jefferson for captured sailors and the right of American ships to pass over the waters 206 00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:45,960 unmolested. They were the equivalent of terrorists, following the example of Muhammad, who was a raider 207 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,420 and a terrorist and a pirate himself. These were only following the example of Muhammad, 208 00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:56,779 and only Jefferson and Adams were not politically correct in calling it what it was. They said it 209 00:20:56,779 --> 00:21:02,279 was the predations of the Barbary Muslims, the predations of the Barbary Muslims. And how did 210 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:07,740 Jefferson respond? Well, with a brand new Navy at his command, Jefferson sent out Commodore Edward 211 00:21:07,740 --> 00:21:13,319 Preble, who sailed to Tripoli, Libya, and began a campaign of blockade of the Barbary ports and raids 212 00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:18,579 against Muslim cities all up and down the Barbary coast to the shores of Tripoli, he carried on this 213 00:21:18,579 --> 00:21:23,619 campaign. Does that sound familiar? From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, this was one of 214 00:21:23,619 --> 00:21:30,519 the Marines' first engagements, was the Muslims of the Barbary coast at Tripoli. And it forced the 215 00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:37,640 Tripolitan ruler Hamid Karamanli to sign a peace treaty, returning all captured American soldiers and 216 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,480 promising to leave future American shipping alone as well. The war with Tripoli also intimidated the other 217 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,920 three Muslim states in the region into leaving American shipping alone as they sailed the Mediterranean. 218 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,819 It was the first major victory for the brand new, previously untested American Navy. What a glorious 219 00:21:53,819 --> 00:22:00,460 victory it was, too. So this is what Islam understands. Force for the evangelical Christian to call for 220 00:22:00,460 --> 00:22:06,240 turning the other cheek or loving our enemy when it comes to defending the nation against an increasingly 221 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,559 militant Islam. All this is nothing, O dear Christian, dear foolish Christian. It is nothing but foolish, 222 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:18,519 stupid, and sinful behavior. It is a response that Christ intended. The idea of turning the other cheek 223 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:23,579 and loving our enemy is a response that Christ intended for the individual Christian when confronting 224 00:22:23,579 --> 00:22:28,339 his persecutor with the claims of the gospel. It is a response that falls under the rubric of the 225 00:22:28,339 --> 00:22:33,759 covenant of redemption and grace. It is not a response that a Christian government or a Christian 226 00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:38,799 magistrate or any other government, secular or religious, should exercise. This idea of turning 227 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:43,920 the other cheek or loving one's enemy, it's not a response that a Christian magistrate should 228 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:50,440 exercise when resisting current militant Islam or the cultural and military jihad of Islam. 229 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,240 That response should issue from the dictates of the civil covenant. In that case, we should be 230 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,859 protected and defended. Obama, are you listening? The Obama administration has not protected us. 231 00:23:01,859 --> 00:23:07,859 The Obama administration has not kept us safe. It's been so busy giving safe space for LGBT 232 00:23:07,859 --> 00:23:14,400 groups and other so-called minority groups that it has failed to give safe space for the American people 233 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:24,140 against militant Islamic jihad. Dear listener, we have a sixth response that we should meet the 234 00:23:24,140 --> 00:23:31,559 predations of Islam, and that is the Christian must respond to Islam with the antidote to political 235 00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:37,160 correctness. Oh, this is such a major role that we must save it for another lecture. But there is 236 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,359 a six-fold response, remember, dear Christian, a six-fold response that the Christian should have 237 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,920 with Islam these days. Number one, with the truth of Christ. Number two, with the love of Christ. Number 238 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,640 three, with the appropriate self-defense. Number four, with the appropriate cultural and societal 239 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:57,559 defense. Number five, with the proven solutions of history. And then number six, with the antidote 240 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:03,960 to political correctness.
