Boston Mosque: the Rise of Radical Islam?

Good question. Here's another example of why we need a parallel news service. Where is the MSM, and why do they let themselves get scooped on the story of the biggest Fifth Column in the history of warfare? This article gives full information on the affiliations and associations of the leadership of the Islamic Society of Boston and the mega-mosque they are building.

As usual, however, Dale Hurd at CBN makes one major mistake. He distinguishes "radical" Islam from "moderate" Islam. That's like distinguishing R. A. Torrey's Fundamentals, from which we get the word "fundamentalist," not to mention the King James and New American Standard Versions of the Bible, from Today's New International Version. It's not quite a distinction without a difference, but rather a distinction between a faith true to its roots and a watered-down faith.

My advice to any Muslims claiming to be shut-out of a place like the mosque now rising in Boston remains the same: Jesus loves you. Allah doesn't know you exist, and doesn't care. He promises you seventy-two virgins for killing American citizens and lawful residents (and indeed anyone who isn't Muslim), whereas Jesus promises you eternal life and won't make you walk a tightrope over hell to get it, either. (And I'm just talking to the men here. No Muslim has ever explained what kind of deal Allah offers to women in the next life. If I'm missing something, I challenge any Muslim to fill me in on what I'm missing.)
