Christian Broadcaster Condemns Christian Silence

In a bold-speaking interview today with the President of the Christian Coalition of America Roberta Combs, international Christian broadcaster and journalist Earl Cox, who has been sharing first hand reports from the front lines in three of Israel’s defensive wars, lashed out chiding those in the Christian community who spend more time in meetings planning strategy than in giving clear direction to their followers concerning the need to support Israel and stand in support of the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded. Cox asked, “Where are the Christian leaders right now as Israel stands alone on the front lines of the world’s war on terror? We are in a war with evil and silence feeds that evil. Christian silence is adding fuel to the wildfire which is spreading the evils of Islam across the Middle East and around the world,” said Cox. It was during the Holocaust that Christian Minister Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned the world that our silence would enable evil. He himself was killed in a concentration camp.

Cox went on to say in his comments to the Christian Coalition of America that, “Those of us who claim to be Christians have, in fact, become enablers of evil by remaining silent and have thus allowed the enemies of The Almighty God to remove prayer from our schools, the Ten Commandments from our public institutions and Christian prayer from public forums and now are standing quietly by as America’s only friend and ally in the Middle East – Israel – stands alone in the battle against the spread of radical Islam. The collective voice of the Christian community should be so loud right now that it should reverberate around the globe that we are not going to sit idly by while evil triumphs over good. We have become guilty of moral apathy and complacency and God will surely hold us accountable. God has given us a “two-edged” sword called “Truth” and He expects us to use it against evil and we are failing miserably. We all know that wh at is happening in Israel is blatantly wrong yet the UN and other world leaders are siding with evil and we are standing idly by. It’s time to flex our muscles, get off our duffs and walk side by side with those God Himself calls the ‘apple of His eye.’ God’s Word makes it clear that Israel is His chosen land and the Jews are His chosen people. The ‘sheep and the goats’ are being separated. True Christians must stand with Israel NOW speaking out against the barbaric acts of terrorism being perpetrated by heathens who are adherents of Islam; a religion that preaches hate and violence. Any thinking person knows that the goal of Islam is not peace but rather world domination and annihilation of Israel, the Jews and ultimately all Christians. The trouble and rioting on the Temple Mount is not due to any fault of Israel. The Palestinians are urging their youth, especially those under the legal age of prosecution, to pick up rocks and bottles and attack Jews. In addition, the families of these youth are receiving compensation from Hamas.”

Asked by Combs where this compensation money is coming from Cox replied, “It’s coming from the pocket of every American taxpayer! It’s our American tax dollars at work.” He went on to say that, “If you are satisfied with this, fine. Stay home and stay quiet and wait for Islam to infiltrate your community, your family, your home. If not, then get busy,” was his challenge. “Anti-Semitism is on the rise even in the UN and, sadly, even in many of our churches. Remember, it’s impossible to love Jesus and not love His family. If you think just one voice doesn’t matter, you’re wrong however you must get moving and organize others to also speak out in support of Israel. Write, call and VISIT your Congressmen and Senators. Make your voice heard every day and become a strong warrior in the fight against evil. God doesn’t expect us to pick up weapons to fight but He does expect us to use His Word and the voices with which He has gifted us. Islam is evil and we must not be afraid to say it for the sake of political correctness. The proponents of Islam are experts at using propaganda to promote their evil, anti-Semitic agenda and too many God-fearing people are remaining silent. This is all happening on our watch.”

Cox, who has been traveling throughout the Southeastern United States promoting support for Israel on television and radio networks, is now taking his message to the Mid-West.
