Top Ten Ways to Convince Muslims We’re On a Religious Crusade

Read full descriptions for all ten at link...

10. Have top U.S. military officers, Defense Department officials, and politicians say we’re in a religious war

~“We in the Army of God, in the House of God, the Kingdom of God have been raised for such a time as this,” saying that George Bush, who himself had ignorantly called the war a crusade, was “in the White House because God put him there,” and, referring to the capture of Somali warlord Osman Atto, “I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol.”~

9. Have top U.S. military officers appear in a video showing just how Christian the Pentagon is

~In addition to the Christian Embassy video, theMilitary Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has uncovered a slew of other videos of uniformed military personnel endorsing fundamentalist Christian organizations and military ministries, many of which have missions that include proselytizing Muslims. These videos are easily found on the internet, providing plenty of potential propaganda material for recruiting by extremists.~

8. Plant crosses in Muslim lands and make sure they’re big enough to be visible from really far away

~Numerous reports and photos received by MRFF, like the one below, as well as photos posted on official military websites, show conspicuously displayed Christian symbols, such as large crosses, being erected on and around our military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.~

7. Paint crosses and Christian messages on military vehicles and drive them through Iraq

~The title of Jeff Sharlet’s May 2009 Harper’s Magazine cover story, “Jesus killed Mohammed: The crusade for a Christian military,” actually comes from one such vehicular message — the words “Jesus killed Mohammed” painted in large red Arabic lettering on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, drawing fire from nearly every doorway as it was driven through Samarra.~

6. Make sure that our Christian soldiers and chaplains see the war as a way to fulfill the Great Commission

~Campus Crusade for Christ’s (CCC) Military Ministry, for example, whose goal is to transform our enlisted trainees and future officers into “government-paid missionaries for Christ,” is present at all of our military’s largest basic training facilities, as well as the military service academies and ROTC campuses.~

5. Post photos on the internet of U.S. soldiers with their rifles and Bibles

~Until being exposed by MRFF and taken down, the Fort Jackson CCC Military Ministry had a website containing not only its Bible study materials, but numerous photos of trainees posed with their rifles and Bibles. ~

4. Invite virulently anti-Muslim speakers to lecture at our military colleges and service academies

~“Absolutely. If a Muslim who has — who is — a practicing Muslim who believes the word of the Koran to be the word of Allah, who abides by Islam, who goes to mosque and prays every Friday, who prays five times a day — this practicing Muslim, who believes in the teachings of the Koran, cannot be a loyal citizen to the United States of America.”~

3. Have a Christian TV network broadcast to the world that the military is helping missionaries convert Muslims

~In complete disregard of this bedrock standing order, the U.S. Army facilitated the evangelizing of Afghans by these Christian missionaries...~

2. Make sure Bibles and evangelizing materials sent to Muslim lands have official U.S. military emblems on them

~What better way to say to Muslims that the U.S. military is not officially Christian than to have official U.S. military emblems stamped on hundreds of thousands of Bibles floating around Iraq and Afghanistan?~

1. Send lots of Arabic, Dari, and Pashtu language Bibles to convert the Muslims

~Worse than any English language Bibles, even those stamped with official U.S. military emblems, are the countless thousands of Arabic, Dari, and Pashtu Bibles making their way into Iraq and Afghanistan...~
