Meanwhile, we as Evangelicals, can share the gospel with Muslims, and Robert Spencer also has the freedom to investigate and expose their agenda, which I have also learned a lot from him too.

If Spencer (a Byzantine Roman Catholic who does not care about Biblical gospel - evanagelistic issues ) and law enforcement people are right; they should use the evidence to bring charges and prosecute, but Dr. White's point is that we as Evangelical Christians can still witness to them before knowing all the details of their connections and background, etc. Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824685809003307918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-43784481874394012782017-08-01T20:40:53.334-04:002017-08-01T20:40:53.334-04:00Apparently Google/YouTube "locked" Jorda...Apparently Google/YouTube "<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/19225/censorship-jordan-peterson-claims-youtube-now-ben-shapiro" rel="nofollow">locked</a>" Jordan Peterson's account for a time.<br /><br />Not to mention they've done the same with other conservatives in the past.

To me, if it weren't for the rampant PC culture being pushed by "progressives" as a whole (and I wouldn't limit it to just secular progressives) then I think there would be a reasonable response, by and large, to Islam in America. In other words, I don't think there would be a large *actual* Islamophobic response, nor do I think Americans would sit back and let radicals kill everyone, if it weren't for the progressive pressure to do both right now.<br /><br />And yes, I maintain that progressives cause actual Islamophobia, both through the "soft bigotry of low expectations" and because it's natural for people who are told objectively stupid things to over-react to the opposite extreme.Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-87896973554054105872017-08-01T11:19:36.841-04:002017-08-01T11:19:36.841-04:00Brett

If we don't stem liberalism, then we get both liberalism and Islam."<br /><br />Actually, if we don't stem liberalism, then we get Islam, which will eventually eradicate liberalism once given enough power.<br /><br />And if we don't stem radical Islam, then we get nothing but Islam. We won't have anything else left. Neither liberalism nor conservatism. Not even Western democracy.<br /><br />Think this can't happen in the United States? Just witness the history of Islam wiping out Christians and Jews (among others) in the Mideast, N. Africa, Byzantine Empire, Spain and Portugal, parts of Eastern Europe (e.g. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina), and many other places.<br /><br />Just witness Islam subjugating others in places like sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. Sudan, Nigeria), parts of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238226879029126180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-16207896534907153392017-08-01T10:13:08.321-04:002017-08-01T10:13:08.321-04:00I may actually agree with him, in part because of ...I may actually agree with him, in part because of just these observations.

(See his interview with Janet Mefferd.)<br /><br />He rightly criticized John Piper for being pacifistic about self defense, but Dr. White thinks that it is mere "politics" to be concerned about national security. <br /><br />PS disclaimer: I have listened to at least 95% of White's Dividing Line broadcasts and to about 25% of all his debates, so I have a decent perspective on his viewpoints.Memo Orehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485164915168407367noreply@blogger.com
