Interfaith Dialog – Religious Pluralism = Nonsense


Symbol“Interfaith dialogue” is a pluralistic attempt to find common ground in the values and goals of various religions. Is this something evangelicals should pursue? – Focus on the Family

For some years now the Interfaith movement has gained strength around the world. The Roman Catholic Church has hosted many of these “Interfaith Dialog” meetings at the Vatican and elsewhere. Leaders from many religious backgrounds  had  meetings to  unite and find common ground, hosted by the Vatican and the Pope.

This movement is also known as Religious Pluralism. What exactly does that mean?

“Religious pluralism–understanding and accepting that there is more than one religion.
Interfaith movement–many religions work together on common goals such as social justice, antiwar and antipoverty movements.

“In today’s religious world, it is very important to be respectful of other people’s religions–wars can result if we are not respectful of other religions and cultures.”

USCCB-CM-Plenary-OCT2012--61One of the big players in this movement is Dr. Sayyid M. Syeed. (on the right) Who is he?

Dr. Sayyid M. Syeed, Secretary General of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a national community leader, is chief executive officer of this Plainfield, IN – suburban Indianapolis – based national umbrella organization which has more than 300 affiliates all over the U.S. and Canada.

A naturalized American citizen, Dr. Syeed obtained his Ph.D. in Sociolinguistics from the Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, in 1984.

Sounds pretty impressive doesn’t it?  This same Dr. Syeed also said the following:

“Our job is to change the constitution of America.” — Sayyid Syeed, Islamic Society of North America.

Change the Constitution?  Isn’t that something the radical left would like to do, better yet, throw out the Constitution?  Here is a little bit more about Dr. Syeed:

Dr. Syeed has been actively involved in fostering understanding among the world’s religions and has participated in interfaith dialogues at different levels in the U.S.A. and Canada. A frequent speaker at interfaith dialogues, he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions.In recognition of his contribution to inter-religious understanding and harmony, Dr. Syeed was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters by the Graduate Theological Foundation, Donaldson, Indiana on May 4, 2001. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award for distinguished service in furthering the Islamic tradition in North America and for promoting inter-religious understanding and harmony from the Catholic Heritage Foundation, Louisville, Kentucky on November 18, 2001.On January 5, 2002, Mr. Frank O’Bannon, the Governor of Indiana, in his State of the State Address, recognized Dr. Syeed’s “work to educate Americans about the Muslim faith in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks, along with your life’s work to encourage tolerance and racial healing has marked you as a great leader in Indiana.”Dr. Syeed has been invited to speak on Muslim and Islamic issues on the national TV channels, NBC, CBS, CBN, ABC. He was interviewed on PBS on the McNeill-Lehrer Report and appeared on the “Today Show” and CNN’s “Crossfire” and on the national televisions of Turkey, Malaysia, Sudan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on matters related to Islam and Islam in America.

The Roman Catholic Church has embraced the Interfaith movement.

Fr.-Giles1-127x170“It has been my pleasure to be part of the New Seminary since its founding in 1981. The New Seminary has helped me understand my own faith…my Catholicism better. I find it exciting to tell students and others, that my way is not the only way; it is one way. We believe in honoring all paths. So we ask our students to hold on to the traditions from which they come, but, be ready and willing to expand their horizons…to learn about other religions and faiths from around the world.” – Fr. Giles Spoonhour, Co-FounderReligious pluralism–understanding and accepting that there is more than one religion. 

One way? Have you not read your Bible Fr. Spoonhour? It is written: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” Jhn 14:6

In my opinion, this is a very dangerous movement towards a One World Religion that will lead many away from the true and living God, leading them to man-made gods and religions such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, and many other ism’s.

In light of what happened just in the last few month, the Libya attack, the Boston Marathon attack and the just recent butchering of a soldier in the streets of London by followers of Allah, makes me wonder. Should we as followers and believers in the Lord Jesus Christ support the Interfaith Movement? I think not.

Many Christians have already bought into this scheme and will be misled. The ultimate goal is to usher in this One World Religious system, the religion of Anti-christ who is to come. We are already moving towards a One World Government and a global currency.

Islam is a religion of Anti-christ and far away from being peaceful. Islam denies the Son. I believe that the Roman Catholic Church, some Christian churches and Islamist leaders are working towards the goal of uniting the world into a one world religion.

If anyone tries to tell you that Islam is a peaceful religions, look at some of these images and tell me that Islam is a Religion of Peace. Here is the link to an interesting article: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

Ticked off about Libya and Lies


I am truly upset with President Obama and his administration on how they have handled the Libya situation to this day.

The President and the administration are openly lying to the American people and continue to do so about the terrorist attacks in which cost the lives of four Americans.

Two month later and still,  there are no answers. The President refuses to come out with the truth. He is more concerned about his re-election then doing what is right, talking to the American people. Many believe that we will not hear what really happened in Benghazi until after the election.

I  saw a Obama announcement given by the President about the storm that is hitting the East Coast. Instead of being concerned about the possible damages or even death this storm may cause, he  seems to be more concerned that people may not make it to the polls in time and vote for him and the Democrats.

Obama is telling the  people to go and vote now before the storm hits a large area of the East Coast. He even offered transportation to those who may have difficulties making it it to the polls.

I believe that Barack Obama has shown what his priorities are: to get re-elected at any cause. He also revealed his character, he sat by while four brave Americans got killed,  even-though they ask for help and were denied help three times.

Is that real leadership, expected from a commander in chief?  President Obama has not show any leadership at all  and I believe,  he is concealing the truth about Benghazi because it is  not convenient so close to the elections.  This current administration openly lied and continue lie to the American people for purely political reasons. How in the world can anybody vote for a administration that has shown no transparency?

Besides the failing economy, the unemployment rate and a debt of over 16 trillion dollars, this Libya fiasco should be enough for the people to see what kind of leader President Obama is and will be in the next four years.

This will be a big story as more and more truth is coming out and eventually we will find out what really happened. We are voting in a few days and if anyone leans towards voting for Obama,  I would seriously think about it,  given all the new developments coming to light.

If you are a first time female time voter,  you may want to save yourself for another guy,  not the first guy that comes along and fools you with big flattering words and then screws and dumps you. Which may not apply to you Lena Dunham because you have a pretty cushy job with HBO, while young girls fresh out of college can’t find a job.

President Obama does not want to speak about Libya because of the election and there is nothing more important for the liberals including the liberal media to get him re-elected. He has not addressed the people and the parents and wives of these four brave men are still waiting for answers. I feel the pain and frustration of the four families that lost their loved one.

If this would have happened under a Republican President, the liberals and the liberal media would have been all over this. President Obama has so far avoided to address the Benghazi attack and will be silent because it does not fit with his rhetoric about Al Qaeda is on the run and Osama Bin Laden is dead. Instead we see the opposite, Al Qaeda is very much alive in North Africa. This President would have us believe that the war on terror is just about over and the enemy is defeated, which is far from the truth.

Our enemies are regrouping and they want to kill Americans wherever they can. This administration does not like or use the term “war on terror” much and seems to be either naive or is blind to the fact that there are radical terrorist all over the world, including in this country, ready to kill Americans.   I cannot vote for somebody that has shown a poor character, terrible leadership and will do whatever it takes to win this years election.

The President is suppose to be working for the people and protect the people of this great land. President Obama has been on the campaign trail for the last 2 years. He courts the liberals in Hollywood and stays away from tough questions. He’d rather be “Eye Candy” for the ladies at the View and appears on MTV answering stupid questions that have nothing to do with current issues, foreign policies etc.

We are a free country and everybody can choose who they will vote for. I respect that. But instead of being led by emotions , people should look at the facts. The Obama administration has failed and it will be four more years of the same if re-elected.

This year will be one of the closest elections ever and it seems that the “anointed one” or as the “messiah” as the press called him in 2008. I’m not much of a political oriented writer, but somehow I’m really ticked off about this whole Libya situation. The truth will come out and it will haunt President Obama, re-elected or not.

I’m just ticked off seeing a President being silent about Benghazi  and is more concerned about being President four more years than running this country and protect it’s people and come out with what really happened in Libya before the elections.

Shame on this administration for not being transparent and forthright about Benghazi. There is way more to the story and it will shock people once the truth is finally revealed. Unfortunately we will not know much more until after the elections. Before you vote this November 6th, remember the four Americans that gave their lives for us.
