I had the good fortune to meet Pastor Hagee when I visited his Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX. Pastor Hagee has always been an inspiration to me and many throughout the world. His fiery cutting edge sermons shake, awake and inspire.

I was greatly blessed by Pastor Hagee's teachings on Islam wherein he gives an accurate portrayal of the Quran, the injunction of Allah to kill infidels and the devotion of Muslims to be martyrs. Many modern Muslims who don't follow the Quran would disagree, but when you study it you fully see that in its purest unadulterated form Islam is a religion that has historically been spread by the sword. The nation of Sudan where over one-million Christians have been enslaved due to Islam is but one small example of the gruesome history of Islam. Islamic women throughout the world have been oppressed and bound by the Quran's teachings.

Thankfully both Muslim and non-Muslim are now lifting up their voice against the inhumane tenets, teachings and practices found within the Islamic culture. Traditions are very hard to break. It is very difficult to teach an old dog how to do new tricks. People sadly don't change their ways easily and often fight uneccesarily they who seek their liberty.

Islam is a beast of burden to humanity, an oppressive tool of Satan to enslave the souls of mankind, incite religious wars and divide people. Unless someone lifts up their voice against it, the status quo shall forever remain.

I have been to both Pakistan and Indonesia where Christians are regularly killed by Muslims for their faith. I met a young lady in Faisalabad, Pakistan who is now blind in one eye and has scars all over her body thanks to a "peace loving" Muslim who threw battery acid on her when she kindly refused to convert to Islam and be his girlfriend.

In another Islamic act representlying the heart of Allah, Pakistani militant Muslims blew up a building owned by a Muslim owned newspaper. They did not like that the newspaper wrote, "You do not have to have a long beard to be a good Muslim." So they bombed the building wherein the newspaper was printed.

Banda Aceh (the tsunami epicenter) has a long standing history of killing Christians as does the island of Ambon within Indonesia. One Pastor and his sons were murdered by Muslims in the island of Sulawesi during a time of prayer. I have been from Banda Aceh to Irian Jaya. I love Indonesia and its people. What I don't love however is the religion of Islam that oppresses the Indonesian people and all peoples of the world.

I thank God for men like John Hagee who don't tolerate such ignorant and violent religions. Unless we speak up we shall be overtaken by terrorists. There is an ideological war going on as much as there is one with bloodshed and weaponry. In fact the battle for the minds of mankind is perhaps more intense as essentially this determines our fate centuries from now.

America needs new churches. Cornerstone Church is just one of the great churches blessing our nation. Yet there needs to be more. Too many pulpits are empty and without holy fire. May God bring our nation back to the purity of our forefathers, devotion of our founders and send another great awakening across our land.

We truly need the Holy Spirit and truth to sweep across our land. Unless we repent and are revived America will go to hell in a handbasket. This does not need to happen. Nevertheless at this present time many seem to be numb to 911 and the events that shook us a few years ago. We must never forget. We must not remain silent. We must forever speak up and against the cancer of Islam that incites people to kill in the name of God. God is not a killer. God is a lifegiver.
