Dear Editor,
I just got through reading some “Bain’s Bits.” He
asked the question, “..why is it too much to ask Americans to lose their
hyphens, to embrace Western civilization and refuse to deny its superiority? He
then asks another question, “And if it’s true that killing Jews and Christians
is not an essential part of their religion, why is it too much to ask, as does
Rev. Franklin Graham, that American Muslims publicly condemn the violence of
Hamas, Hezbolah, Saddam and even
Mr. Bain suffers from the same problem that many Christians have today
that gives rise to the very situation they complain of. They have confused the
deceptive political term “Judao-Christian” for “Western Civilization.” Western
Civilization is not Judaic but Christian alone. The spread of Western ideas is
the spread of Christian ideas not Jewish ideas. The Jewish people tagged along a
little bit but they were not the movers and shakers and makers of Western
Civilization. The West started with Christ Jesus and then through
Since the advent of Christ, Jews have not been leaders in the development
of the fundamentals of liberty and principles of civil government and laws of
nations. Certainly the Jews have been involved in the finances of wars and the
purchases of governments, but their influence has been restricted mainly to the
power of their monopoly on money, not ideas of liberty. There is a good reason
for this. The ideas that Western Christianity developed concerning the laws of
liberty and nations were derived from the very result of what Christ Jesus did
to the human race. The Jews that denied this act and rejected Christ as the
savior of the world and creator of the
Therefore the only reason that “terrorism” has come to exist in America,
i.e., the World Trade Center event etc, is that Western Civilization has entered
into a permanent alliance with a part of Middle Eastern Civilization, i.e., the
modern “state of
When Christians get into moaning and groaning about all this “radical Muslim” stuff and “terrorism” and their unquenchable desire to kill Saddam Hussein, I like to ask them what part does day time have with night time? What part of the West is the East? What part of black is white? “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (IICor6:14-14.) And who is the unbelieving infidel? “And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matt8:11-12) And who are the children of the kingdom? They are none other than the Christ rejecting Jew.
Bain continues his attempt to connect the modern Jew with the Christian
West by stating that the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of the infamous evangelist
Billy Graham, is opposed to the Muslim religion yet accepting of the Jewish
religion.
The Washington Times (8/12-18/2002) reported Franklin Graham saying that
Islam does not share the same Christian God as do the Jews and the Christians.
And at the same time in the same article it is reported that President Bush was
sued for the prayer delivered by
Peace in the Middle East and through out the world will not come as long
as the West denies its singular and unique heritage based upon Christ alone and
what he did to the world. Are we saved by Moses are by one who is greater than
Moses? The solution to “terrorism” is not for the
Sincerely,
