Crosstalk: March 16, 2018

We continue to be told that Islam is a religion of peace. In spite of that we see that Islam is a common denominator in many acts of violence and death and its on the increase.

The website 'Creeping Sharia' reports of a top FBI counter-terror agent (Michael Mcgarrity) who said that an average of 2 suspected terrorists are arrested every week in the U.S. He went on to note that every FBI bureau in all 50 states are working on terror investigations with up to 3,000 currently underway across the country. To him, the ocean doesn't matter any more due to what he called, 'home-grown violent extremists.'

Are these people truly extremists or is it a case where they're simply following the words of the Qur'an?

Joining Jim for a discussion on this matter was Usama Dakdok. Usama is the president of The Straightway of Grace ministry and speaker on the daily radio program, 'Revealing the Truth about Islam'. He's translated the Qur'an into English and has also authored, 'Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an'.

Just yesterday (March 14th) wnd.com ran the story about a teenage Muslim who was spending the night with friends. He stabbed 3 people, killed one, and according to Florida police it was, '...because of his Muslim faith.' According to an affidavit, the suspect read the Qur'an to give him courage to carry out his intentions.

Usama responded by expressing that a simple reading of the Qur'an will show us that Islam is a savage cult. He followed this up with 3 important points:

--We are not telling the American public the full picture of what is happening in America.

--We need to understand what is coming to America. Look at what's happening in Sweden and other parts of Europe. Huge numbers of crimes are committed daily and not simply by the week.

--Muslims in America make up about 1% of the population. Wait until the 1% becomes about 5.5% like we see in Europe.

So Usama believes that unless we cut the cancer out now, what we see taking place in Europe will be taking place in America within 10 years and at that point it will be too late to fix it.

Another incident noted by Jim involved Jonathan Beese, a convert to Islam who had Islamic State literature, an AK-47, and was scouting out sniper locations. In his home they found a copy of the Qur'an, prayer beads, a Muslim robe, writings on his computer referring to ISIS, and he was searching for items related to Islamic extremism and lone-wolf terrorism.

A third example (also from the 'Creeping Sharia' website) involved criminal charges brought against a firefighter who allegedly threatened to kill colleagues he claimed had mistreated him over his Islamic faith.

During this program, Usama commented on verses from the Qur'an that may have been the motivation for the Florida knife killing, the Muslim Brotherhood connection to the Council on American/Islamic Relations (CAIR), the 4 reasons we're told Muslims are committing such acts, and much more.
