Ten years ago I tried to warn as many people as I could about what was coming to the United States. At that time, Islam’s growing influence throughout the European Economic Community (EEC) was already well underway. What many people dismissed then as impossible or exaggerated has continued to unfold before our eyes. What has taken place across parts of Europe is now moving into cities throughout the United States. The question is no longer whether this influence is coming—it is how far it will be allowed to go. This is not a warning against ordinary Muslims or against anyone because of their faith. It is a warning about radical Islamic ideology and the political movement that seeks to use American institutions to advance it. America is at a crossroads. The people—not political parties, religious organizations, or special-interest groups—will ultimately decide the direction of this nation through their votes. The Bible warns that deception and apostasy will increase as we approach the last days. Jesus told His followers to watch, discern the times, and not be deceived. We cannot afford to close our eyes to what is happening around us. The warning I gave in 2016 still stands: what begins as a political movement can eventually become a transformation of an entire society. America must wake up before it is too late. If you believe radical Islamic ideology poses a threat to America’s biblical heritage, constitutional freedoms, and national identity, then do not remain silent. Study the candidates. Examine their records. Once you hear that Islamic radical agenda and you see it at the polls at the voting boxes. Your vote had better been made not with the left because they joined with those of the radical Islamic movement.
Watch my warning in my YouTube video I made 10 years ago. Then read the news.
