In the late 1970’s I was on the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy. During that time Jimmy Carter was President
and there were multiple American hostages in Iran.
Our ship was on patrol in the area.
We had numerous live general quarter alarms that occurred when Iranian
or Libyan war planes came within 300 miles of our carrier. It was at that time the peak of Christian/Islamic
tensions grew and also had impacts at home with the discrimination of Islamic
residents and immigrants.
We see this same thing today with the ISIS terrorists, our
battle against them worldwide, and the impact it has on Islamic followers in
our country. This is a very difficult
time for our society in regards to Islamic relations. I believe at its core Islam is a religion
founded on Peace. However, there are
those, just like in the Christian faith, that have twisted the meanings of
their faith to suit their own agenda and ideals. I believe in freedom of religious choice, but
not when it is a bastardization of that religion’s foundations.
Sharia law is an oppressive, brutal, and twisted aspect of
some Islamic followers that should never ever be allowed to practice in any
form in our country. Freedom of religion
does not over shadow basic human rights.
Any religion that degrades human life and dignity is not a religion it
is a cult and cults do not deserve the respect and benefits of organized peace
and love driven religions.
In the late 1970’s under Jimmy Carter our country was weak and Iran took advantage of it. The day President Reagan took office the hostages were released. That’s American power, that’s the Christian faith, and that’s what will be the ultimate demise of ISIS and anyone else who tries to impose their twisted agendas on God’s chosen country. Have a safe and prosperous week. BAS 12/6/2017 1 AM EST ✨✝️π. ⛲️ππΊπΈ
