Keep It

News reports today talk about Usama Bin Laden (UBL) releasing a tape encouraging Americans to convert to Islam... but only if we want to live. UBL says that if we want to end the violence in Iraq, we will convert to Islam, you know, it is, after all, "a religion of peace," and they'll prove it, just as soon as we give in to all of their demands.

The biggest of their demands, of course, is that we turn our backs on our God, our Faith, our Country, our Freedoms, our way of life, and pretty much everything that we hold dear, and all the things that matter most to us, and embrace their backward, violent, hateful, ridiculous excuse for a religion. In his book "Crazies To The Left Of Me, Wimps To The Right," Bernard Goldberg has a section titled "Islam is a Religion of Peace, and if you don't believe me, I'll kill you!" How true is that? He really didn't even need to write anything in that section, the header captured it all.

The newsies were quick to point out that UBL didn't directly threaten to attack us here at home, but I mean, come on. They've done it before, and it's clear they will not hesitate to do it again. And I hope you don't think you'll be safe if you do convert to Islam, if you pick the wrong sect to take up with, they'll kill you anyway. So think about that before you throw in your lot with a bunch of stark raving mad "religious leaders" who are bent on totalitarian, tyrannical Global domination by any means necessary, in the name of Islam, of course.

Let me be absolutely clear on this point: I am a Christian, I believe in Almighty God who created all there is, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the Cross, was buried and rose again that I might live, and in the Holy Spirit who indwells all that are His. And that is that.

So to Mr. UBL and all the rest of his hoards and minions, though I don't know the future, and you may well one day succeed in killing me for taking this stand, I can tell you in just two words what you can do with Islam... Keep It!!
