COMMENTARY: "Fallout from the Boston Bombing" -Nearing Midnight

Apr 22, 2013
Fallout from the Boston Bombing

Last week, the world was once again reminded of evil nature of Islam when two terrorists planted bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon. The devices were crude in their design, made from pressure cookers stuffed with gunpowder and shrapnel.

It didn't take long for the hordes of cameras covering the race to flush out the two perpetrators. Brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were immigrants from the Islamic nation of Chechnya. Tamerlan was killed early Friday morning in a gun battle, and Dzhokhar was found 18 hours later hiding in a boat.

The Boston terrorist attack came just four months after the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. One of the most common reactions from my comrades here at Rapture Ready is concern that God may be lifting His hand of protection from this nation.

My big concern is what impact is this event is going to have on our freedom. The liberal media has been very aggressive in pushing the idea that every time there a terrorist incident, we need to surrender another piece of our constitutional rights. If this police state mentality had its way, everyone owning a pressure cooker would have to get it registered, and everyone wishing to purchase one would need to submit to a background check.

I think we are guaranteed to see surveillance cameras becoming more pervasive in our society. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel pointed out the effectiveness of video technology in aiding the investigation. “I will say, as I always have, because we have continued to put cameras throughout the city for security … purposes, they serve an important function for the city in providing the type of safety on a day-to-day basis – not just for big events like a marathon, but day-to-day purposes,” he said.

It has become a disgusting habit of the liberal media to openly fantasize about right-wing involvement in some terror plots. Immediately after the bombings, several liberals were hoping that the bombers were white. David Sirota of salon.com wrote an article entitled, "Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American." The folks at Current TV said the same thing: "Yeah, I was hoping for a white guy, because I know the way that American is reactionary."

I have to wonder what would happen if a "white guy" was caught trying to carry out an act of terrorism. The liberal media seems to have a vast storehouse of propaganda ready in case that day should come. Not since the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City has there been an example of terrorism in the world has not been carried out by a Muslim or someone who is mentally unbalanced. This trend has become so reliable, in our Wednesday recording for Rapture Talk, I told Terry that the Boston bombers most likely had a Muslim connection.

The press has been doing everything it can to cover up Islam's involvement in terrorism. They focus on impertinent questions about what type of "military or terrorist training" they may have received or what caused them to become "radicalized." The news media refuses to make the most simple connection: They were Muslims, the religion that calls for the murder of all infidels.
The stupidity of our accommodating stance toward Islam can be best summed up by what happened to the owner of a Mercedes sport utility vehicle. In a bitter irony, the hijacked car bore a bumper sticker featuring a mixture of religious symbols including the Star of David, the Cross, and the Muslim crescent--and the symbols spelled out the word “Coexist.” They forced the driver to stop at several bank machines and took $800 that he withdrew.

After a few minutes, the man was left behind at a gas station. Once he gets his bullet-riddled car back, he might want to think about removing the sticker. For Islam, coexistence is a one-way street.

In the coming months, there are going to be calls for greater government controls over our lives, all in the name of public safety. Since the followers of Mohammed have a near monopoly of terror, they should be the ones scrutinized. If we had a more realistic immigration policy, we wouldn't have had to declare martial law in one of our nation's largest cites, and 30 people would still have the limbs they lost in the bombings.

Things would be a lot better in the world if we had a sterner attitude towards the Muslim world. The Bible warns that Islamic nations will trigger a series of great battles in the Tribulation hour that will kill tens of millions of people. The most spectacular battle involving the Muslim world will be when the Lord pours His wrath on the Gog armies as they attack Israel.

"And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD" (Ezekiel 38:21-23).
