Donald Trump Has Designated Churches and Mosques as Essential
By Julio Severo
President Donald Trump declared on 22 May
2020 that churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship are “essential
services” and must reopen.
Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic, all non-essential services have been closed. Churches have been put
in this category, but abortion clinics not. Abortion, which was legalized in
the United States in 1973 and kills about 4,000 American unborn babies, has
been deemed an “essential service.”
“Some governors have deemed a liquor
stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out churches and other
houses of worship. It’s not right. So I’m correcting this injustice and calling
houses of worship essential,” Trump said, reading from a statement.
“Many millions of Americans embrace
worship as an essential part of life. The ministers, pastors, rabbis, imams and
other faith leaders will make sure that their congregations are safe as they
gather and pray,” Trump said.
“We need more prayer not less,” concluded
Trump, who believes that the prayers of evangelical ministers, Catholic
priests, Jewish rabbis, Islamic imams and other faith leaders — including witchcraft
leaders — can do a lot of good to the U.S. It is in this belief that he
inaugurated, days ago, a totally new multifaith National Day of Prayer.
While the National Day of Prayer was launched by evangelicals in the 1950s and was
always prominently evangelical, now Trump
turned it into a multifaith event, with evangelical ministers, Catholic
priests, Jewish rabbis, Islamic imams and many other leaders of different
non-Christian and anti-Christian religions.
Trump’s intent is to correct some states,
which keep liquor stores, abortion clinics and homosexual clubs open because are
deemed “essential.” By declaring churches and mosques essential, Trump has
showed that states should grant to churches and mosques the same importance
they have granted to liquor stores, abortion clinics and homosexual clubs.
I do not know if George Washington, the
first U.S. president, would be happy that someday churches would be granted the
same importance as mosques, liquor stores, abortion clinics and homosexual
clubs. But I doubt that he would not be shocked.
And I doubt that when Islamic imams make
their strange prayers, they are praying for the good of the U.S and its Christian
foundation. But I would not doubt if they are praying for their Islamic brothers
to be successful in all their efforts to spread Islam — including by sword and
bombs.
To make churches and mosques as equally
essential is a sign that the U.S. has become a religious Babylon. To make
churches and abortion clinics as equally essential is a sign that the U.S. has
become an opportunistic Babylon.
So in the current U.S., or
Babylon, as David Wilkerson used to call America, if you want to open
churches, you have to open abortion clinics too. If you consider churches important,
you have to consider mosques equally important, for the sake of sacred
equality, which is above God and the Bible in America. In fact, in America’s
equality, God and Satan are… exactly equal in religious and legal worth! So
you should not be surprised if someday a Satanist offers his prayers at the
National Day of Prayer.
Perhaps
this confusion explains why on the date celebrating the landmark 500 years of
the Protestant Reformation (October 31, 2017), Trump not only did not celebrate it,
but he did celebrate Halloween, a date traditionally connected to occultism.
Perhaps aware that multiculturalism forces him to celebrate equally the special
dates of other religions, he discarded the most important date of Protestantism
in the largest Protestant nation in the world.
There is just one problem. Trump has
celebrated special dates of other religions at the White House itself.
* In 2018, Trump
host his first White House Ramadan dinner.
* Also in 2018, Trump
host a pagan Hindu Festival at the White House.
While Trump and his administration
celebrate Islamic holidays at the White House, let us ask a very simple
question: “Does Saudi Arabia, the capital of Islam and the most important
Islamic ally of the U.S., celebrate Protestant holidays?”
So why does the U.S., the largest
Protestant nation in the world, celebrate Islamic holidays?
What has the U.S. received by flattering
Islam? A multitude of Islamic attacks, including the 9/11 — most of them with
Saudi connections.
Could it be that celebration and flattery
of Islam draw more hatred and terrorist attacks from Muslims? If this logic is
correct, it could explain why Saudi Arabia does not celebrate Protestant holidays.
Perhaps Saudi Arabia fears that by flattering and celebrating Protestantism
they might eventually draw hatred and terrorist attacks from U.S. Protestants!
Can you imagine if such approach is used to
deal with other criminals? To rapists? Incidentally, Saudi
students who rape American women go unpunished by fleeing the U.S. under the protection
of Saudi Arabia. The U.S. cannot be hard with Saudi rapists fleeing to
Saudi Arabia because it
could lose billions and billions and billions of dollars. After all, Saudi
Arabia is the biggest purchaser of U.S. weapons.
So the U.S. apparently flatters Islam and
does not punish Saudi rapists because they have a very good economic and
military deal. Has ever Saudi Arabia flattered Protestantism and not punished
American criminals just for the sake of this deal?
But Trump is not the first Republican
president to flatter Islam.
Immediately after the 9/11, Republican President
George W. Bush said that Islam is a “religion of peace,” to make sure that no
one had some wrong idea that Islam and Saudi Arabia could be somewhat involved
in this horrible attack.
And in the 1950s Republican
President Dwight D. Eisenhower inaugurated a mosque in Washington and in
his speech, he said that Islam has for centuries contributed to the building of
civilization. Could he have read, because of a visual impairment, “building”
where there was “destruction” in his history books?
Remember the difference: Republicans are
conservative and Democrats are socialists following a multicultural agenda.
Republicans are different from Democrats. Now repeat it to yourself several
times a day until you eventually believe it!
White evangelical Christians have been
among the most loyal members of the Trump’s political base, because they are conservative
and voted to have a conservative administration, not a multifaith Babylon, with
non-Christian and anti-Christian religions having the same worth as the Christian
religion that was the bedrock of the U.S. civilization.
