Wake up America

Post by Valerie »

Thank the Lord the FBI did their job.
When these countries chant @Death to America” they mean it.

And she was an American citizen whose ancestors were also born in America. One of the reasons Islam is so seductive to many people is because, sadly, Western society has completely surrendered to nihilism and hedonism. When they find something that gives their lives meaning, they cling to it like a shipwrecked person to a lifeboat. We need Christ in our lives.

Thank God the FBI was able to prevent a tragedy

Sigh… allied with these Sunni nations and condemning the Shia even though ISIS was mostly Sunni.

Such meaning, yes she found. Kill fellow Americans.

She apparently converted to Islam five years ago. Then through social media, she became radicalized and pledge allegiance to ISIS.

I guess Evangelicals are not reaching people but ISIS is.

If some Evangelicals were making news for bombing I suspect you might think differently but people are converting to Christianity at a similar rate. They just tend to do legal killing.

Jesus said we will always have wars until He arrives with His own army.
In the meantime, countries do what they can to protect their own. Except like in IRAN where they have killed over 50,000 of their own for wanting a new regime.

Aren’t all terrorists?
People can be brainwashed- gradually. Hitler?

This isn’t about Iran though.
The Sunni are Iranian enemies broadly speaking.

Sunni=ISIS.

Correct. They, in fact, despise each other. So when I lived in the Gulf, UAE police broke up a Shia religious demonstration.
