The claims made by Muslim clergy that Islam is a religion of love, must be examined in more detail. Let us be frank and open about it.

The Afghanistan government said that it has formally recommenced its jihad against America. Obviously, such a jihad can easily extend itself to other countries, including the UK. Hence the need to examine and firmly deal with any such threat or possible threat.

As Christians we do not wish to kill those who are not Christians. In our minds there is a fundamental problem, because Muslims, who claim to love, can so quickly kill and hate. It is true that most Western Muslims live in peace...but the recent jihad commanded by Afghanistan causes us to question whether or not Western Muslims will one day take up the jihad in the West.

Islamic leaders say they will not. My own question is this - at what point will Western Muslims act out jihad? It seems only a matter of time. Why do I say this?

Afghan is a fully Muslim country with Muslim laws. According to Islam, only Islamic scholars are entitled to judge and punish Muslims. But, thus far, Afghanistan has not bothered to judge or punish Ben Ladin, one of the most genocidal murderers on the earth today. This can only mean they condone his actions.

Islam also teaches that when a jihad is pronounced, all Muslims everywhere are bound to carry it out, using any means they have at their disposal - including physical force. This is nothing new - when Islam was first formed, and Islamic soldiers swept the Middle East, it originally gained its massive numbers by putting people to death if they did not submit to Allah and Islam. The Koran contains within its pages a duty to kill anyone who is not a Muslim.

So, if jihad is a duty of every Muslim wherever they are, how can Muslims in the West assure us of their good intentions, without actually rejecting their own teaching? If the killing is done by a sect within Islam, then let all peaceable Muslims everywhere reject them and shun them publicly, so that we in the West can identify who is responsible. Unless this is done, Muslim talk of 'love' is farcical and unbelievable.

Sadly, this has not been done and some Muslim leaders in the West have the gall to lend their support to the terrorists, whilst they enjoy our freedom of speech! Even some Muslims who are supposedly peaceable accept what has been done in New York. Any wonder that we feel uncomfortable?

Islamic jihads will continue and probably escalate, so this problem must be sorted out fast, not just for Christians - who die for their faith even today in Muslim countries - but for everyone in the free world.

We must not pretend any more - Islam, to people in the West, means repression and force. As we continue to approach individual Muslims in love, as we ought, we must recognise that Islam is not so kindly or loving. There is no excuse for anyone to attack Muslims simply because they are Muslims, and we abhor such attacks. Even so, we now require a definitive answer from Muslims who live in the West. Some are born in the West of Western parents. But most are born in Islamic countries and choose to live in the West.

We have no problem with that. But we do have a problem with people who decide to live in the West, and then wish to hate or kill its inhabitants for not being Muslim! This is simply not acceptable. It is now time for Muslim leaders in the West to come clean about their intentions: if they cannot live peaceably with others who are not Muslims, and if they are susceptible to obeying jihads, they must say so and do what is right - go to live in an Islamic country.

We repeat that this is not racialist. The same applies to anyone of any nationality or religion who uses force and hatred to get their own way. Deliberate killers must be judged and put to death. Those who conduct hate campaigns must be brought to task. Those who commit violence in the name of any human cause must face criminal proceedings.

Obviously, the claim by Muslims to be acting in God's name is not accepted by Christians. The same claim has been made by Roman Catholics and even Protestants. It does not matter what religious claims are made - God does not order us to murder. Muslims, then, have no particular right to murder people.

The proof that we love is...that we love. The proof that we hate is...that we hate! To claim love and then to kill thousands is not compatible. Afghanistan is saying "If we wish to kill you, that is our business. We kill you because Allah wants us to. Do not interfere and do not dare to bring the killers to justice. If you dare to oppose our murderous actions we will just increase the murders!"

So, Islamic extremists are telling us that they can kill us any time, anywhere, but we cannot fight back or defend ourselves! These extremists are now amongst us, in many countries. Some are 'sleepers' who will commit their crimes when ordered to. These people abuse their host countries by killing their inhabitants. They are even willing to kill their own kind - no doubt there were quite a few Muslims amongst the dead in New York. With such a slumbering evil in our midst, there is no way that a people, whether Christian or not, can sit back and wait to be killed.

Once again, we challenge all Islamic leaders to come clean and speak honestly. Their assurances must be definite and clear. There must be no hints of acceptance of jihads, murders, or repression. If these are part of sectarian Islam, then let it be said now and let Western Muslims stand out against them. Nothing else will do, for until such assurances are given every Muslim will be suspect, because every Muslim upholds the Koran, which tells them it is okay to kill non-Muslims.

This ministry does the same thing - we oppose Roman Catholicism and all other heretical sects and cults, so that we are not seen to be part of them. That is our assurance to other Christians, and to all others, that we are what we say we are. Our beliefs are open and clear. Others may believe what they wish. But they have no right to kill or repress others. Now, Muslim leaders must respond in kind.

Give in to Threats...and Die Anyway!

We Do Not Fight Flesh and Blood

On Tuesday 11^th September, I sent out a letter to the local newspaper, warning of the dangers of the Alpha course. Using the TV series about Alpha as a springboard, un-Holy Trinity Church, Brompton, issued media news items world wide inviting everyone to attend a course.

In my letter I likened the spiritual effect of the course to the Black Death that ravaged the world in the Middle Ages, killing millions. We asked people to look at our web page, to read about the dangers of Alpha, or to contact us direct. Of course, for our temerity in opposing such a popular course, we will receive maximum criticism and scorn.

Terrorist Attack 11th September 2001

Then, later on the same day, I heard the breaking news about the horrific and unprecedented suicide pilots who deliberately flew passenger planes in to public buildings in the USA. (I write this newsletter on that same day, as the news continues to update us on the terrible tragedy of murder and mayhem). As I write, no-one is sure about how many have died, but the death toll is likely to be in the tens of thousands.

As one who has spent the past two years teaching our small church about David in the Books of Samuel, I know that king David, even at the height of his most favoured times with God, would have sent out special troops to kill those who had acted out such atrocity. I think that if such evil had been perpetrated in his day, this would be his response. I believe most Christians do not understand how I can speak in this way...but, David was not just a fine lover of God – he was also a real man who had to ‘get his hands dirty’, always with God’s blessing.

I have no time for the useless and unbiblical false ‘love’ of some Christians toward those who commit gross evils. David knew, as the American war films put it, that ‘a man has to do what a man has to do’. And he did not flinch when it came to administering justice, swiftly and to the death. It is now time for all countries to seek out and put to death all who enact such terrifying atrocities against their fellows, even if they have to do so by stealth.

At the time of Saddam Hussein’s war against the world, I expressed my utter dismay and criticism of the free countries, for not following their war to the ultimate, by capturing Saddam and putting him to death for his crimes, even if that had to be done by special forces personnel. By not dealing with him then, they now face uncertainty as he builds up his chemical and nuclear arsenal.

Scripture warns everyone that they must beware of the sword of the magistrate, because it is wielded by God’s authority to maintain law and order. But, Christians everywhere today have an inordinately soft heart and no stomach for what must be done.

The USA, UK, and all free nations, must not allow this current atrocity to go unpunished. Such would be an affront against decency and God’s own social order for this earth. We have allowed the idea to continue that the death penalty is bad and evil. What of the terrible deaths resulting from today’s massive murders? What of the death penalty for deliberate murder – a penalty never rescinded by God throughout history?

The Real Perpetrator

But, even as I say all this, I am aware that everything I have mentioned in this newsletter is not merely of man’s doing. That pastor who is being so disgusting towards his legal wife, is not acting of his own volition. The Alpha organisation and those who teach it are not doing their work from their own hearts. And the pilots who were willing to kill themselves in order to kill many thousands of others, were not just terrorists wanting their own evil ways. No – each of the ones I have mentioned are the dupes of Satan, each in his own way. Each of them remains culpable before God and will know His wrath, but they are just Satan’s pawns, doing his bidding.

In the Beacon this month I talk about the Kyoto Treaty. That article, written before the news of today’s tragedy was unfolded, came back to mind....

I noted how the UK and the USA vowed to band together to fight international terrorism. They now see how radicals can get at the very heart of cities and countries. The situation has created panic and terror, and everyone looks to their governments to protect them. Thus, the article on the Kyoto Treaty should be read with a special significance, in the light of the New York killings.

It is apparent from what I have heard on the news that this suicide killing in the USA has opened more doors than most of us realise, doors that make possible the combining of forces supposedly for the people’s protection. Though such moves are initially valid, they are also the beginnings of draconian state interventions that will eventually affect the freedoms of us all. Listen to the proposals and you will understand what I am saying.

Satan is moving very fast today. His plan is coming together as never before, and is being brought about not just by terrorists and false churches, but also by whole governments, under the guise of ‘protection’.

The doomed World Trade Centre, blasted out of existence by the terrorists, was chosen as a target because it symbolised the massive money market of democracy worldwide. It was regarded by (Muslim) fanatics as ‘demonic’. Did you notice the name plate remaining on the ground floor entrance to the devastated Centre? It was the ‘One World Trade Centre’. Is this prophetic?

I believe that the USA will rebuild this financial hot-house, in defiance of terrorists, and that its dealings will be protected by hi-tech means, able to withstand any attack.

So, it looks like a One World order is about to begin, prompted by dupes of Satan whose evil work was only the catalyst.

The Real Cost of Asylum Seekers in the UK

As Britain faces a £100 million claim from asylum seekers, to be paid for out of British tax payers' hard earned money, the shrill charge of 'bigots' and 'racists' can be heard from many governmental camps.

But, what is 'racist' about saying the absurdity must stop right away? When asked, many so-called 'refugees' admitted that they come to the UK because of a thriving black market (quote: Daily Express). They also come - as government admits - because it is easier for foreigners to work here illegally, than in any other country (quote: Daily Mail)!

The refugees who are now to be paid millions by the hapless British populace, are placed in the holding centre because they are suspected, by immigration authorities, of not being genuine asylum seekers. Now, these same people, who might easily contain terrorists and criminals, as well as free-loaders, with thousands of pounds in their pockets, will be set free from the holding centre, to disappear in to the UK countryside! Where but the UK could this kind of lunacy happen?

This has all been made possible by the even more absurd Human Rights law that has been imposed on Europe by its law lords, a law that is set to bring the UK great grief and freedom for those with illegal or anti-social goals.

Refugees who come here for the black economy or who work here illegally, drain the country of its proper financial footing. The sufferers are those who live here legally and who pay their taxes...taxes that will go to support illegal immigrants and their illegal activities. Even immigrants who come here legally are costing us millions...they cannot speak English, have no jobs, require much health support, housing, money, etc.

Whilst we agree that genuine asylum seekers need help, and should get it - it is about time that they were spread out over all of the world, and should not concentrate on one small island with limited resources and housing, jobs, and so on.

This isn't about race - it is about common sense, and loyalty to all those in our own country who are left without any help, when those who come to our shores get everything freely, even when their status is questioned by professionals who see illegal immigrants every day. This could not happen anywhere else, so why in the UK?

There is no scriptural precedent in the way the UK allows all and sundry over its borders. But, it certainly ties in with end-time warnings. Most who come here have false religious beliefs. Islam is already a big force and can obtain more freedoms than Christianity. It will not be long now - Christians will have a hard time existing in the UK. So far the 'European Community' (a laughingly inappropriate name with sinister meaning) is leading this downgrading of the UK. Its laws are draconian, even to the point of making bananas straight!! The EU favours illegality, corruption and false gods, and the promotion of all that is anti-God.

So, as up to 200,000 immigrants 'somehow' disappear in to the UK every year - making them definitely illegal, we call on the UK government to put an immediate stop to it all. France is more than willing to build even more transit camps closer to Calais, because although they will cost it money to set up, they know the immigrants are all heading for the UK! The sudden mobbing of the Channel Tunnel by immigrants recently is more than sinister - it stinks of Satanic oppression of this country, a country that has handed over its Christian heritage to Romish authorities in Belgium. The response is a loss of our sovereignty and an unleashing in to this country of thousands of people who will help drive us in to obscurity and the creation of a loss of freedom for the Church.
