"Do you not say, "Four months and then the harvest"? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest." (John 4:35 NIV)
In the shadow of 911, it was "Breaking News". The mainstream reporting followed the same pattern. The descriptions were strikingly similar, with the difference being in the details. And the mainstream was more than willing to give us any details that they could get their hands on. They were loners, and losers. They started as ordinary high school kids; some became gang-members and petty thieves. But somehow they all were lured into a "Radical" form of a peaceful religion. Of course, the details were accessible and the actual threat was relatively slight. Today, political correctness and distorted religious rights have replaced the public, and the Christian Church’s, right to accurate information. This blockade of information flow places the public and the church in harms way.
John Walker Lindh (The American Taliban) Described, as "A very spiritual young man" Lindh became interested in Islam at age 12 after seeing the movie Malcolm X. Four years later he was a converted Muslim and regularly attended a mosque in Mill Valley California. By November 2001 his interest in this peaceful religion took him from the open-minded community in California to an Al Qaeda training camp, and from that camp to fighting on the front lines against American and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan.
Jose Padilla (The wanna-be Dirty Bomber) Exact details are sketchy at best but, according to reports, Padilla converted to Islam during or after being incarcerated in a Florida prison. Before converting to Islam Padilla lived in Chicago where he became involved in a street gang and was arrested several times. However, after his last jail sentence in Florida he converted to Islam and professed a "nonviolent philosophy". That "nonviolent Philosophy" took him from Florida to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq where he made a common cause with Al Qaeda. According to reports, he approached them with the idea of detonating a "Dirty Bomb" in a U.S. City and they obliged him with instruction in bomb making, and some cash.
Richard Reid (The Shoe Bomber) Reid was not born into Islam either. However, it was Reid’s father that guided him into the Islamic faith. The elder Reid, having spent about 20 years in prison, gave his son a suggestion that seemed to make sense. Muslim’s he said, "treat you like a human being" plus he added, "they get better food in prison." Reid took his fathers advice and converted to Islam the next time he was incarcerated. Leaving prison in 1994, Reid didn’t immediately align himself with extremist groups. According to the Chairman of the mosque he attended after prison he (Reid) was soft-spoken and "very anxious to learn". However, he would end up with a fuse protruding from his shoe, on an American Airlines flight to Miami. According to the FBI, packed in sole, was enough high explosive to blow a hole in the side of the fuselage of the plane.
I believe it’s necessary to point out that I do not believe that all Muslim’s subscribe to terrorism. It is my heartfelt belief that just like Christianity and Judaism, there is a majority of people within the Islamic faith that truly are peace loving and should be applauded for their exemplary courage. However, like Christianity and Judaism there are extreme elements of all religions that should be isolated and removed from society.
Why are the details of these cases so important?
Because, the truth, is in the details. And as the memory of 911 dwindles, many federal officials, politicians and members of the mainstream media have gone to absurd lengths to avoid disclosing the details and motivating factors in numerous murders, murderous sprees and other acts of violence and sabotage perpetrated by "lone individuals".
This is not some grand conspiracy on the part of the U.S. Government or the media to cover up or conceal information. It is though, a symptom of Radical Islam’s plan for undermining the stability of the United States. (Covered below)
Nevertheless, because they view these as isolated instances. It is politically incorrect to conduct a reasonable examination of the facts if the crime was fixed in religious ideology. It appears that anyone that identifies a religious motivation or reports the fact that the responsible party is Muslim is immediately labeled "Islamophobic".
Forget the double standard against Christianity and Judaism. By refusing to expose and communicate the ideological motivation behind these heinous acts they severely limit the ability of the church and the general public to protect themselves.
On March 14, 2007 Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that "Home-grown" Islamist present a greater threat than white supremacists and other traditional extremists. Mr. Chertoff stated, "There are (Islamist) groups inside the country – self-generated – that could carry out acts of violence." Charles Allen, the chief homeland security intelligence officer told the same panel that extremists in the United States had been involved mainly in "aspirational plotting hatched largely by isolated actors who lack the will or the capability to carry out large scale attacks."

The committee expanded its investigation into the radicalization of inmates in U.S. prisons to include Internet and other media recruitment and the threat of growing Islamic radicalism in the U.S. According to Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-CT), "The department’s own Homeland Security Advisory Council in a recent report called radical Islam the most significant terrorist threat to the homeland today, said that it is spreading, and predicted that the number and magnitude of attacks on the United States will increase,"

The Isolated Incidents:
The following is a chronology of some of the so-called "Isolated incidents" since 911 that have been played down or under reported in the mainstream. Understand, these incidents are only classified as "Terrorist related" if Al Qaeda ties are exposed. However, they are clear examples of crimes by isolated actors who lack the will or the capability to carry out large scale attacks. Moreover, they all have a common denominator, a stated alliance to Radical Islamic Ideology.
January 5, 2002 
Charles Bishop 15 years old stole a small engine plane and crashed it into the Bank of America building in Tampa Florida. Described as a loner with few friends. Authorities and his family say he was a confused, lonely boy.
Of course, the suicide note found in his pocket told another story. It stated that Osama Bin Laden was justified in the terror he caused on 911. "The U.S. will have to face the consequences for its horrific actions against the Palestinian people and Iraqis by its allegiance with the monstrous Israelis who want nothing short of world domination!"

July 4, 2002
An Egyptian Limousine driver named Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet opened fire at an El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles International Airport, killing two people before being shot and killed by a Security Guard.
Hadayet, was a Muslim who immigrated to the U.S. in 1992. The FBI originally reported that the shooting wasn’t terrorist related, and that there were no religious motives. However, they were forced to reclassify the incident as "terrorist related" when Hadayet’s ties to al Qaeda were exposed.

Dubbed "The Beltway Snipers" by the media, John Muhammad and Lee Malvo terrorized the Washington D.C. area with their apparently random shootings. Their spree claimed the lives of 10 people over 18 separate shooting incidents.
Blatantly ignored by the media however, was the fact that Muhammad and Malvo were Muslim converts. Malvo was caught with drawings of Osama Bin Laden among his belongings, made verbal rants about "jihad", and documentation has been found that linked the two to the terrorist organization Jamaat ul-Fugra, let by Pakistani terrorist Sheikh SyeSyed Mubarik Ali Gilani.

University of Oklahoma in Norman College student Joel Henry Hinrichs III detonated a large bomb outside a football stadium packed with over 80,000 people. The FBI says that it has still no reason to believe Mr. Hinrichs was involved in a larger terrorist plot. Similarly, it has no information that suggests there is any additional threat to the OU-area.
However, the truth may be in the details. For instance, at least one of the bomb components he used -- triacetone triperoxide -- was the same homemade substance used by Richard Reid, the so-called Shoe Bomber. Why would someone choose to kill himself with this stuff, nicknamed the "Mother of Satan" by Islamists, if suicide were his sole purpose? Norman itself is no stranger to Islamist activity. In 2000, Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker, took flying lessons at the city's flight school and attended a neighborhood mosque, which, according to NewsOK.com, is the same mosque that Mr. Hinrichs had been attending. There is some doubt about whether Mr. Hinrichs himself was a Muslim, though.
December 18 2005
Executing a carefully premeditated attack, Ali R. Warrayat crashed his car into a Home Depot in Chandler Arizona. Familiar with the layout of the building because he had previously worked there. He directed his car, and successfully hit the stores flammable paint section. Upon hitting his intended target, he got out of his SUV, started a fire with a lighter, and took merchandise from the shelves as he exited the store. When the police arrived, they found Warrayat setting on a curb, waiting for them. Among his statements, Warrayat claimed that he was angry with the U.S. for proposing a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border and wanted to make the country "More Free".
Inside the car, police found a Quran, and a Palestinian flag. During the attack, Warrayat blasted Arabic music on his car stereo, "To drown out the yells of the employees he might encounter." Police seized a computer from the house he shared with his parents. On it they found pictures of Palestinian men and other Middle Eastern terrorists engaged in different levels of violence. Arabic martyr prayers, in addition to, flag and symbols.

A 23 year old Muslim named Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, a native of Iran, rented the largest SUV he find (A Jeep SUV) with the intent to kill as many people as he could to avenge the treatment of Muslims around the world by the U.S. He injured six before being stopped and arrested.

"A Case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome" That’s how they explain what caused a Muslim named Naveed Afzal HAQ to force a 14-year-old girl to get him into the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building by holding a gun to her back. Once inside, he shouted, "I hate Israel" as he shot and killed one woman and wounded several others, including a pregnant woman. David Gomez of the FBI's Seattle office told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "We believe ... it's a lone individual acting out his antagonism. There's nothing to indicate that it's terrorism-related." As in other cases, if the police cannot connect a terrorist to Al Qaeda or some other group, he is deemed not a terrorist.

Witnesses at the scene say they heard 29 year old Omeed Aziz POPAL, a Muslim from Afghanistan, say to no one in particular: "I'm a terrorist, I don't care." San Francisco police however, came to a quick determination that Popal’s 20-minute drive of carnage was not an act of terrorism. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Popal's "day of carnage" began in Fremont at about noon when he ran over and killed a 54-year-old man. Within minutes, the paper said, Popal sped into the nearby hills "ripping back and forth through a 15-square-block area like a ripsaw on four wheels, leaping curbs, cutting corners and tearing the wrong way through traffic. Throughout the chaos, the Chronicle said, "only one thing seemed clear: The driver was on a hunt. A hunt for humans."
When a Muslim convert named Derrick Shareef was arrested, he had an alias and a plan. The alias was Talib Abu Salam Ibn Shareef, and the plan was to explode at least four and maybe more hand grenades and IED’s in shopping malls, courthouses and city hall. Officials said Shareef had been under investigation since September, when he told an acquaintance that "he wanted to commit acts of violent jihad against targets in the United States as well as commit other crimes."
Explosives and homemade bombs were found in the Kissimmee, Florida home of Juan Rafael DIAZ, 20, who threatened to blow up at least one Christian church and other locations throughout Kissimmee. According to the reports, Diaz placed notes on parked cars in the Moose Lodge parking lot and in the lot of First Christian Church. The notes said, "The City of Kissimmee is going to be bombed by al Qaeda, God willing."
"His expression stayed totally calm. He didn’t seem upset, or like he was on a rampage," the witness said. He looked like "an average Joe," This was the description of Sulejmen Talovic, an 18-year-old Muslim who opened fire on shoppers at a Salt Lake City mall had one thing in mind: "to kill a large number of people,"
Missing from most reports, however, was that he attended a mosque in Salt Lake and he was reported to have been shouting "Allah Akbar" at the end of the shootout when he was cornered, at least according to some witnesses. The New York Times dropped a hint when it mentioned Islamic burial rites. But notwithstanding that small mention, the mainstream, and the athorities completely avoided mentioning that he was a Muslim and never investigated to determine if maybe his religion was a motivating factor in his act of terror.
Radical Islam’s 20 Point Plan
In August 2003, WorldNetDaily posted a Christian Arab-American authors analysis of an Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islam and visible methods to take over America.
Below, I’ve listed some of the authors points. You can read the rest HERE. Compare these points with the daily news, and proposed legislation, and you be the judge.
- Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.
- Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities who promote Islam as the religion of African-Americans while insisting Christianity is for whites only. What they fail to tell African-Americans is that it was Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves. In fact, the Arabic word for black and slave is the same, ''Abed.''
- Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.
- Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office to bring about favorable legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.
- Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran'' anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.
- Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.
- Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans with reports of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls
- Open numerous charities throughout the U.S., but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.
The Call to Action
The post 911 terrorism chronology and the revelation of Islam’s plan to undermine the U.S. (listed above) are not provided to stimulate fear, or to encourage conversion to Christianity. In my opinion, fear based conversion, results in only temporary commitment. This opinion is supported by the statistics following 911. Over 50% of adult Americans reported that following the attack; they attended church services, and sought spiritual understanding. However, by November 2001, church attendance was back to normal.
It is my opinion, however, that when reasonable people are faced with the truth and details about an impending threat. They take action to protect themselves and the ones they love. The remainder of this posting will focus on the actions that can be taken to protect our families, our churches and our community against this real and present danger.
Why take action now?
The United States, the Jewish and Christian churches, and our very culture of freedom and democracy are being threatened. The stated intentions and the public actions of Radical Islam are making the threat. And the clearly defined intent the jihadist leaders of al Queda, Iran, Hezboallah and Hamas is to destroy our civilization, convert us to Islam, and kill us if we don’t convert.
What if we don’t act?
Countries around the world are feeling effects of their decision not take action against this threat. Prof. Bernard Lewis, the world-renowned Middle Eastern and Islamic scholar, declares the Muslims "seem to be about to take over Europe," Lewis reports: "Europeans are losing their own loyalties and their own self-confidence," and "They have no respect for their own culture." He added, Europeans had "surrendered" on every issue with regard to Islam in a mood of "self-abasement," "political correctness" and "multi-culturalism," Read the Interview with JPost
This culture attack is not limited to Europe. On March 16, 2007. Six imams, who are suing U.S. Airways and an airport for removing them from a flight have also aimed the lawsuit at passengers who the imams believe reported some of their activities. If the suit is allowed to continue, it could mean that the next time someone sees something, it may be safer to stay quiet and hope someone else reports it. Even if the charges get thrown out or dropped, this is an announcement that you could be caught up in litigation for years and spending your savings on lawyers. More
Other Cases of culture challenge:
Muslim Cab drivers refuse to transport Dogs / alcohol
Target stores in Minn. reassign some Muslim cashiers over religious conflict
''Will Americans continue to sleep through thisAnis Shorrosh, author of ''Islam Revealed'' and ''The True Furqan
invasion as
they did when we were attacked on 9/11?''
Who needs to take Action?
The frontline leaders are:
Ordinary Citizens
Moderate Muslims
The Church
Elected officials
Educators
What can we do? 
First we have to understand that this is not a short-term issue. Therefore our reaction cannot be short term. The so-called "War on Terror" didn’t begin on September 11, 2001. It was rekindled. Study the history and you will find that the horrific events on 911 were in fact an avenging of the Muslim armies for a defeat four hundred years ago. When the Polish and German infantry turned back the Turks at Vienna. The date, September 11, 1683. Many within the Christian community track this battle for world dominance back to Genesis 21 with Abraham’s two sons Isaac (the Jewish patriarch) and Ishmael (the patriarch of Islam). At any rate, this struggle started long before we were born, and will continue for generations to come. In order to protect ourselves from the threat of having our culture, our country and our religious rights subverted by this threat, we must be ready to act. Below are some suggestions:
BE ALERT
Our country is still acting as if the danger is minimal. Citizens and local leaders are doing much less than we can to protect and secure our own safety and liberty. We need to know are neighbors and be familiar with the businesses and places of worship in our community. When we are well acquainted with our community during routine times, we are more likely to recognize unusual behavior before a crisis strikes. Report any suspicious activities to the police. If necessary take accurate notes or photos. If your documented proof does not receive appropriate response, contact police chiefs or report the activities to the local news agencies.
BE INFORMED
Read the paper, watch the local news, and talk to your neighbors. These are all valuable methods of getting information about what’s going on in your community. Request newsletters from local schools, churches, and local organizations. These are ways to find out what the hot topics are in your community, and will identify ways that you can get involved.
BE PREPARED
When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it's best to think first about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth.
Visit: Ready.gov for more advice on being prepared for emergencies, natural or man made.
At the beginning of this posting, I quoted John 4:35. To close, I want to give you the parallel verse, "He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Luke 10:2 NIV)
