Islamic killing in France a repeat of history
In February 2006, Muslims around the world were rioting. In Indonesia, over 300 protestors stormed the European Union embassy. In Gaza, Palestinian gunman scaled the walls of the EU offices, closing them until further notice. Some 400 Islamic students burned the French and Danish flags in Pakistan. Angry Muslims threatened to kidnap French, Spanish, Danish and Austrian citizens. Islam is boycotted businesses associated with the European Union. And several EU countries recalled their diplomatic corps to avoid threatened violence in Islamic nations. What ever could have sparked such a chain of events? A cartoon of founder of the Islamic cult, Mohammed, originally printed in a Danish newspaper. Sound familiar?
The militant reaction to a Danish newspaper printing several cartoons of the prophet Mohammed was only inflamed as newspapers in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Austria and others followed suit and reprinted many of the cartoons. One of the cartoons showed Mohammed with a bomb strapped beneath his turban. Back then it seemed as though the European newspapers were fed up with Islamic militancy and were making the point that they can print what they want in the name of freedom of speech. But the enraged Muslims saw blood because it is considered blasphemous to make images of the prophet Mohammed-as if they needed an excuse to rape, pillage and kill. Sound familiar?
That the militant cult becomes outraged when the European free press makes a point through satire is no novelty. The killings in France by Islamists are part of a continuum of violence. The 2005 Islamic riots across Europe, after two boys, who thought they were being chased by police, were electrocuted when they hid in a high voltage box, were just the beginning of many a problem Europe faced with its fast growing Islamic population. Mark Steyn, a syndicated columnist for the Wall Street Journal wrote in 2006 that Islamic countries are having babies at a rate four to five times that of Europe, which is in a population decline. And Islam is moving into Europe as the fastest growing immigrant population.
Steyn predicted that within the decade the European population will be more Islamic than European and that riots in the streets will be commonplace. By 2006, Europe had taken in 20 million Muslims and in Britain more Muslims attend religious services each week than do Christians. In Jeremiah, the Lord speaks of the Babylonian judgment where an immoral society is desolated. Europe and the United States have a lot of Babylonian characteristics. The Lord says in Jeremiah 51:14, “Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they shall lift up a shout against you.” Locust often meant Ishmaelite, the forefathers of the Islamists, because they consumed the land like locusts and moved on. Time to turn to Christ and his salvation.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
