Comments on: Politically Correct Abdication of our Culture to Islam Continues http://philcooke.com/politically_correct_cartoons/ Change Revolution Tue, 22 May 2012 20:38:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Marshall http://philcooke.com/politically_correct_cartoons/#comment-3198 Marshall Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://philcooke.vintom.com/politically_correct_cartoons#comment-3198 It's kind of scary when you can see that I am the only one who is willing to even comment on the subject...people are afraid!! And, that is exactly what the intent has been. How is it that 9/11 happened and now we are more than willing to allow it to happen again...?? I don't get it!! It's like America is under a spell, and I break it in Jesus Name and say wake up America, WAKE UP!! No one backed away from Hitler either for a long long time, ...Over 6 million Jews later, the U.S. and other brave nations took a stand against his horrific onslought of the Jewish people. If terrorist can make you fear they have you...but I say, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper" as the Bible says, because I am a child of the God...and Jesus Christ his son died on a cross so that I can have eternal life in heaven ..not virgins as a reward. Why is it that in America it's okay to be critical of Christianity, and other religions but we seem to fear critisizing Islam...because we are intimidated by them, that's why and we actually believe that by not speaking up we are keeping peace on our land, when in fact, praying and speaking up is our way to freedom, as it has been for centuries!!
