From My Heart
One of the news outlets in Qatar ran a segment this week where they are projecting that very soon, America is going to elect a Muslim President! My immediate response when watching this segment was, “But we have already had a Muslim President!” But I digress!!!! I also saw a report this week of a protest by radical Islamists in New York City where the masks came off, and young Muslim men were boldly proclaiming they are here to conquer America for Allah. One Imam was interviewed, and he said they will conquer America, and the American people will be forced to pay the “jizyah” (which is a tax) which allows non-Muslims to live in a Muslim country.
We might look at all this radicalism and the invasion of Islamists into our country, and kind of just try to brush it aside like it is a flash in the pan, but we best wake up and put a stop to this invasion of military-age men into America. Just look at how efficiently their efforts have already worked and all the advances they have made. The mayor of America’s largest city (NYC) is a Muslim who believes in the end times Islamic
doctrine of a militant Muslim takeover of the world, through jihad (a holy war).
Muslims also have several “jihadists” in Congress! Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and a few more! They have taken over entire cities and are bringing Sharia law into places like Dearborn, Michigan, and Minneapolis,
Minnesota. They will continue to push their agenda, elect radicals to
office, and will do everything in their power to force Islam upon our
nation. As I have stated to you before, the Constitution of the United States does not coexist with Sharia law.
Most of these Islamic government officials identify with the extreme left fringe of the Democrat Party. They connect with Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Schumer and Pelosi types who want to use socialism to transform America into a full-blown communist nation. And this is now giving rise to the Democratic Socialists of America wing of the Democrat Party. These are the ones who want to stack the Supreme Court, empty the prisons and jails, do away with the borders, and even do away with the Senate and the office of the Presidency. These radicals have a plan, and they are carrying it out while most Americans are looking the other way!
We best wake up and make sure every American gets to the polls to vote for candidates who support the U.S. Constitution, and not for the ones who want to destroy it and rip it to pieces. If we are not careful, our freedoms will be slowly stripped away, and we will be living under Islamic Sharia law where our freedoms are GONE! Sadly, this seems to be the direction America is heading. But don’t forget—we are on the winning side!
