I just received the following e-mail from the ACLJ, Jay Sekulow's group. I know his language is consistently--and perhaps unnecessarily--superlative, but he does keep me informed on what is happening in our government today.
Dear David,
You're being targeted by one of the most powerful organizations in the world.
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has Christians in their crosshairs. They are lobbying the United Nations to adopt a resolution that would make speaking out against Islam a crime ...
... A crime punishable by imprisonment, heavy fines, and even death.
Stand with the ACLJ - and the ECLJ - as we oppose the OIC and put an immediate end to this anti-Christian bigotry. Add your name right now to our PETITION OPPOSING THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE.
Here's the dangerous situation: The OIC is the largest lobbying organization inside the United Nations. In fact, next to the U.N., the OIC is the largest global organization.
They're attempting to pass a sinister resolution that is nothing more than blatant religious bigotry. Called ''Combating Defamation of Religions,'' it sounds palatable - however, it boldly targets men and women of faith who speak out against Islam.
This is very important to understand. This radical proposal would outlaw Christianity ... it would make the proclamation of your faith an international crime.
Send a powerful message to the OIC and take a strong stand against anti-Christian bigotry by adding your name to our nationwide campaign right now. Sign the PETITION OPPOSING THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE.
In his recent dissent on the Supreme Court's ruling on Guantanamo Bay, Justice Scalia said, ''America is at war with radical Islamists.''
Never has this rung more true than today. Never have Christians been more targeted for their religious beliefs. And never have we faced a more dangerous threat than the one posed by the OIC.
Put your name on the line in defense of your faith! Sign our petition (http://www.aclj.org/) (on the right of the homepage screen) and support the ACLJ as we face the United Nations on your behalf.
Let me be clear: This is an important opportunity for you to stand in unified support of the religious rights of individuals around the globe who are routinely persecuted - and sometimes put to death - because of their religious beliefs.
It could one day be you and I. We must act now to combat this resolution and work to protect the religious rights of all individuals.
Thank you.
What baffles me most is how we Christians can be constantly accused of using brute force to convert people in secret, while hate-filled Muslims can do the very same thing out in the open and no one makes a peep. We've gotta pray for this situation--Sekulow is not known for spreading unfounded rumors--and battle the vicious reign of Allah with the powerful yet merciful power of God.
