December 7, 2006 By Bob Unruh Note from Pastor Kevin Lea: I attended a pre-tribulation prophecy
conference in Following his talk, I asked Mr. Shoebat privately whether he considered Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s
(Iranian president) letter
to the American people (dated November 29, 2006) as a warning letter for
us to convert to Islam or die.
Without hesitation he responded,
“Absolutely, he is required by the Koran to warn the unbeliever before
waging Jihad against them and this letter is clearly that
warning.” I then asked him
if there is any time constraint between the letter and the action. He responded that there is not. Ahmadinejad
could act on his warning now or any time in the future. It should be noted that this letter
follows a separate warning letter that he sent to President Bush on May 9,
2006. I have little hope that we will awaken in time
to act on the danger before us since it is clear we are lulled to the point
of stupor because of our sin, just like Israel was before they were judged by
Babylon (see book of Jeremiah in the Bible). In order to wake up about the threat
of Islam, we must first acknowledge and repent of our sins against God;
otherwise it appears that the sword of Allah will be our judgment. I have ordered the audio recording of the 12/5
message and will post it on our website (under sermons/mp3
topical) when it arrives.
Walid Shoebat, the
former PLO terrorist and member of the Muslim Brotherhood who now warns the
free world of the impending threat from Islamic terrorism, has been denied
entry into Keith Davies, the director of the Walid Shoebat Foundation, told WND Shoebat is a well-known voice "speaking against radical Islam. Obviously they want to have his voice silenced." The rejection came yesterday from
immigration officials at the When he arrived at the What's most ironic is that he was replaced by another speaker, who happens to be a Canadian citizen (by naturalization) who has admitted to killing (hundreds) of Arabs in gang warfare (during his youth)," Davies said. That replacement speaker is
Zachariah Anani, who often works with Shoebat, Davies said. "Certainly it was a
political move," Davies said, citing a similar incident a few years back
when Shoebat was to speak in The official reasoning given for the travel permission denial, Davies said, was that Shoebat "might be a security risk." But Shoebat is the author of several books, a prominent speaker and has appeared on CNN, FOX News, NBC, CBS, and ABC. He has also been featured on the BBC. Davies said Shoebat's
message is critical to today's world. The majority of Americans probably can
feel that something is wrong, he said, but remain in "denial" about
the reason, because they don't want to recognize that there's a part of the
world population that hates He described how in his own youth he would attack Jewish security forces, endangering his own life, because he sought the death of a martyr. That's what he was taught, he said. Davies said different groups of
people in the "But we need to be united as a nation on the security and the defense and Western values of the free world," he said. That's a large part of Shoebat's message, Davies said. What American should be paying attention to is the problem of Islamic teachings in schools, in mosques and other places, to find the source of the radical Muslim teachings and training. "We're putting fires out. We're catching terrorists but we're ignoring the root cause of terrorism," Davies said. "We're not addressing that, just like we're choosing to say Islam is a peaceful religion when anyone with half a brain can see that's not the case," Davies said. He also noted that just a few
weeks ago, on Sept. 20, 2006, Shoebat was allowed
to enter Walid's grandfather was the Muslim mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem and friend of Haj-Ammen
Al-Husseni, the notorious friend of Adolf Hitler. As a young man, Walid
joined the Palestinian Liberation Organization and pursued a terror campaign
against After his release, he continued
pursuing violence by rioting in It was in 1993 when he started
studying the Tanach (the Jewish portion of the Holy
Bible) in a challenge issued by his wife. He wanted her to convert to Islam
and she challenged him to find any mistakes in the Bible. He soon became an
advocate for the Jews and He now lives in the He's spoken at Harvard, His new book, "Why I left Jihad," is a look at the prophecy in the Tanach. "Walid
Shoebat's commitment to the pursuit of truth and
his courageous efforts to combat hatred are awe inspiring," said Rabbi
Paul Silton, of On his website, he notes that the
Israeli Arab conflict isn't about geography, but "Jew hatred; throughout
the Islamic as well as Christendom's history Jews have been persecuted, the
persecution of The centers to which he was going
