From My Heart
America must be the most naïve nation on the planet! I say that because of how our country is allowing Muslims to pour into our country and become politically involved in our local, state, and national governments. Many of these folks are coming into our country and are building Mosques everywhere they go and are claiming America as already under Muslim control. The radical Islamists have a code they live by, which is that they build Mosques over land they conquer. This was their effort in N.Y. City after they flew jet airliners into the World Trade Center and collapsed those mighty twin towers. The city would not allow them to build, so they went just down the street and built a mosque. In their teachings, the world will be conquered by Islam, so multitudes of these folks have been sent here to start Islam’s jihad (holy war) against the nations of the world.
In Great Britain, Muslims have poured into the nation and are causing multitudes of problems because in their minds, they have already conquered the nation, and there is nothing anyone can do about it! This is why there is such a massive increase in rape, murder, public exposure, and constant harassment of the citizenry in Great Britain. The Muslims believe with every fiber of their being that Islam will dominate and control the world, so they think they can do whatever they want to do, and nothing will happen!
And that same attitude and same thought extend to every other nation in Europe where they have migrated! But they are also doing the same thing in the U.S. and Canada. We have several Muslim radicals in Congress who believe this extremist ideology that every nation on the planet will one day submit to Allah and be forced to pay the “jizya” tax. This is a tax that people have to pay to Islamists when they allow you to live on Muslim soil. And in the minds and hearts of many Muslims, they already believe America is theirs to rule. Last week, a Muslim man stopped a random woman in London and demanded she put on a covering for her head! He lost himself yelling and demanding she wear a hijab.
And what are we doing in America? We are allowing these folks to build Mosques everywhere, allowing them to take over our cities (like N.Y. City, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dearborn), allowing them to run for political office where they then enforce their views and extremism upon us. And in several areas, they are instituting Sharia Law, and in many areas, not one soul is standing up to stop them.
It is so sad that our country has swallowed this diversity, equity, and inclusion mindset and has allowed this bloody, brutal, and beastly religion to get its roots growing on American soil. Mark it down: the United States Constitution is not Sharia Law friendly. We cannot have two different sets of rules and standards to govern our nation. We had best stop this foolishness now!
