Congressman Siljander's new way past Islamaphobia: Follow the money...

(Tim) This indictment is interesting news. Congressman Siljander is at the forefront of the movement to meld Islam and Christianity into one faith while claiming believers from both sides are being perfectly faithful to their own tradition if they affirm this syncretistic mutation.

In the old days, Congressman Siljander was known to be an evangelical Christian. But now he's living off the fat of Islamic land taking money from Islamic groups in Pakistan and Sudan to help him write a book purporting to show us the way to rapprochement between followers of Jesus and Muhammad. Says Cong. Siljander: "I could not find one verse in the entire New Testament that ever suggested we should convert anyone to any religion."

It all reminds me of the letter my Dad wrote to Rabbi Yechiel Exkstein declining Yechiel's request that he sit on the board of Eckstein's newly chartered Holyland Fellowship of Christians and Jews (since renamed the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews) back some twenty-five years ago. Despite their close personal friendship, Dad explained to Yechiel that it would be impossible for him to serve on Yechiel's board without feeling pressure to compromise his faith by no longer calling Yechiel to faith in the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ. And yes, those are the very words Dad used...

Of the letters Dad showed me through the years, this was one of the most loving and tender. It was for similar reasons that Dad also publicly opposed Christian leaders accepting free junkets to Israel that were paid for by Zionist Jews.

Who knows what kind of compromise the Apostle Paul could have come up with in his letter to the Galatians if the Judaizers had been smart enough to throw a few greenbacks his way?
