EVER FACE A FIRING SQUAD?
Take a good long look. This is what a condemned man...or woman... sees at twenty feet. No one has ever come back to describe that last moment before the scene is suddenly blacked out with a rattle of fire and a burst of lead.
But even a brave man or a courageous woman facing such a scene must hope feverishly that this is all just a bad dream from which there will be an awakening...a vision from a remembered movie in which someone will come, will come, in time. But no one comes.
Thousands....hundreds of thousands...of human beings, like yourself, have had just such a last glimpse of life during the past few years. And they, too, have hoped it was a dream. But it wasn't.
How far removed do you think you are from playing the star part in such a performance as this? Two years, three years, maybe four years...if the Japs and Nazis win.
And don't think that you can talk yourself out of it if the time comes. Don't think that you can turn coat; that begging for mercy on bended knees will spare you; that promising to be good, to cooperate, will help. Some patriot in your neighborhood will kill one of their officers in the night, and the next day you will be rounded up with nine or nineteen or ninety-nine others...to be shot.
This is something for all of us to think of...to dream of while we can still awaken to the clean air of freedom.
It is something to make all us of resolve that all our waking will be bent to the one job of winning the war...that whatever we know we can do, we will do...and that whatever else we can find to do, we will also do.
For unless all of us put the winning of this war before everything else, a lot of eyes that now look on this page may face the same scene in reality,
Not somebody else's eyes, yours...There is a global Muslim group active in the US which would like very much like to completely destroy American freedom as we know it. Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects democracy as a western system and un-Islamic despite aspects of it such as elections existing in the Islamic political system. Hizb ut-Tahrir argues democracy as a system is
“the rule of people, for the people, by the people. The basis of the democratic system is that people possess the right of sovereignty, choice and implementation. ... it is a Kufr system because it is laid down by man and it is not from the Shari'ah Laws.”
If the current climate of revolution prevails, and the radical Muslims gain the upper hand because of their prior organizing, there is no doubt that they will indeed be killing people who will not agree to live under Shari'ah law. There are 2.6 million Muslims now but even without revolution, there are predicted to be 6.2 in 10 years. There are 2000 mosques already.
As Christians we are to be civilly responsible. We are not to be angry or fearful. We are to be as wise a serpents but as gentle as doves. We must however open our eyes and be aware of the work that is being done to remove America's freedom, a freedom that is unique in all the world. We have taken it for granted I'm afraid.

If, they win
....only our dead are free
These are our enemies. They have only one idea—to kill, and kill, and kill, until they conquer the world. Then, by the whip, the sword and the gallows, they will rule. No longer will you be free to speak or write your thoughts, to worship God in your own way. Only our dead will be free. Only the host who will fall before the enemy will know peace. Civilization will be set back a thousand years.
Make no mistake about it—you cannot think of this as other wars. You cannot regard your foe this time simply as people with a wrong idea. This time you win—or die. This time you get no second chance. This time you free the world, or else you lose it. Surely that is work the best fight of your life—worth anything that you can give or do.
There are some words of truth for this age in these words. The fight we are in now is not yet fought with guns and bullets but the enemy would take away your freedom just as surely. The socialists, communists and anarchists, together with the radical, jihad Muslims are waging a war against America, against our way of life, against our freedom. Things are not perfect by a long shot but we are as yet a free people. Open your eyes and slumber no longer. Be responsible for yourself, your family, your neighbor. Give what you can, do what you can. But please, don't just ignore the battle which is beginning to rage about you.
