Mosqueissippi Burning

By Johnny Lee Clary





As we approach the ninth anniversary of 9/11 when Islamic terrorists attacked America killing thousands, I am shocked more than ever that many Americans have either forgotten 9/11 or just do not care that thousands of people have been murdered. Living proof of this is the Muslim Mosque controversy where Muslims are pushing full steam ahead with building a mosque at Ground Zero with the blessings of Barack Obama. Besides Obama , many other politicians including NYC Mayor Bloomberg have came out in total support of this mosque saying what a beautiful gesture of forgiveness and diversity this is and that it will serve a “symbol of peace and healing” throughout the land. They talk of reconciliation and how this will be a step in that direction. As a minister of reconciliation for the last 20 years I can assure you this will not bring reconciliation but more division. If Muslims and all the others who support the building of this mosque were serious about reconciliation they would not even entertain the idea of building that mosque on such a sacred site as this.

I am NOT saying Muslims can't build a mosque; I am saying they should build it some place else and not at the site of ground zero. This is only causing hatred.

Check your history of Mecca, Jerusalem, and Constantinople . It is a proven fact that Islam has a history of putting up mosques as a symbol or a flag of victory whenever they win a military battle. The building of the “Cordoba House” which the Muslims have chosen to name their planned mosque is no different. Just the name of it shows their evil intent. For those who do not know, the name “Cordoba” refers to the first system of government established in what is now modern Spain after the Islamic invasion from North Africa in the 8th century A.D. “Cordoba,” in Islamic symbolic terms, means Islamic rule in the West. It does not mean “coexistence” nor does it mean “reconciliation,” unless coexistence and reconciliation is interpreted as referring to Islamic rule.



When I think of Ground Zero, I think of the two twin towers of the WTC on fire that day with people jumping out of windows falling to their deaths. I think of the screams inside of people inside being burned alive. I think of the horror the passengers and crews of American Airlines Flight 11 and United Flight 175 must have felt as they saw their planes hijacked by Muslims and being flown straight into the towers exploding on impact. I think of all the heroes such as the police, rescue workers, firefighters and volunteers who gave their lives trying to rescue people from the burning buildings. I also think of all the families of the victims who would never see their loved ones again. I certainly do not want to think of a Muslim mosque on that site which would be a sick twisted symbol of “triumph” for a Muslim victory. When I think of that I also think of Osama bin Laden being caught on video tape praising “allah” for the destruction of 9/11 and the thousands of Muslims around the world who were dancing in the streets celebrating the attack on America. Can you picture in your mind the children and grandchildren of those who were murdered going to visit the site of where they lost loved ones and then having to look at the Muslim mosque where Muslims are celebrating the deaths of those who lost their lives at Ground Zero? My God has America sunken this low that we are willing to sit back and allow people who represent the cult that caused this destruction to throw this attack right into our faces by putting up this shrine to their so-called “triumph” over America? 3000 people lost their lives at that site! Doesn’t anyone care about that anymore?


The F.B.I has revealed that many Islamic mosques all over the world including America are tied to International terrorists and have been plotting terrorist attacks on American soil.

All over the world Islamic leaders are calling for the extermination of the Jews even advocating annihilating Israel. Iran’s leader Ahmadinejad is developing nuclear bombs and vows to nuke Israel off the map. He even held an anti-holocaust conference in 2006 in Tehran and the guest of honor was former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke who is now a Nazi. Duke with the support of many Islamic leaders speaks in Syria, Iran, Russia and many other nations advocating the destruction of the Jews. Yet according to the left wing liberal politically correct crowd, we are supposed to sit back and view this Muslim mosque at Ground Zero as some sort of “symbol of peace?” The world used to view Hitler and Nazi regime as monsters for killing six million Jews but now many Radical Islamic leaders are saying the Holocaust never happened and as a matter of fact Radical Islamic influence has grown so strong that the teaching of the holocaust in public schools have been banned in many parts of the world including many public schools in London because Muslims say it offends them. I am reminded of George Santayana’s quote, “Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Do you think for one minute that there is any Islamic country where they would allow Christians to put up a church next to any Islamic site where Muslims lost their lives? What would the world say if Neo-Nazis tried to build headquarters at the site of Auschwitz or Buchenwald? What if the KKK tried to build a Klan Christian Identity “church” in Birmingham, Alabama at the site of the 16th Avenue Baptist Church where 4 little girls lost their lives when KKK members bombed it in 1964? The world would be outraged and as far as those who would even attempt to build it goes, their lives would not be worth a plug nickel and it wouldn’t be safe for them anywhere in the world if they tried that. Why it would be Mosqueissippi Burning!



Anyone who supports the building of the mosque at Ground Zero spits in the face of every family member who lost lives on 9/11 and you also spit in the face of God. As Franklin Graham, son of Evangelist Billy Graham puts it on building the mosque: "It's hypocrisy. It's mockery. It's mocking the 3,000 Americans who died just around the corner, who were killed by Islamists in the name of Islam. There was not one Islamic cleric who oversees outside the U.S. who condemned [the 9/11 attacks]. If this had been a Catholic saying his Hail Mary's flying into the World Trade Center, the Pope would have been on television that night denouncing it. The lack of universal condemnation by the Islamic world, their silence, shows their support of this.

To Hell With The Cross-Removers!

I have noticed a trend that is happening in churches today, and that is the removal of the cross. Many churches have decided not to display the cross because it offends people and makes the sinner feel like he is in a "religious" atmosphere. They feel it is more important to make the person who never attends church to be as comfortable as possible and by removing the cross they are making the unchurched feel like they are in a less threatening atmosphere. Therefore according to the cross-removers, they stand a better chance of winning them over.

Winning them over to what? Certainly not Jesus, because Jesus said if one is ashamed of Him before mankind, then He will also be ashamed of them before His Father in Heaven. What cross-removers are doing is saying that it is more important not to offend some sinner than to show that they are not ashamed of the cross and what Jesus did for them at Calvary. Since when do we of the Body of Christ, have to become "politically correct" and restructure what the church is all about in order not to offend someone who could care less about the worship of Christ?

One pastor said he removed the cross from his church because they got over being "religious" a long time ago. Displaying the cross has nothing to do about religion and everything to with Christ. The truth of the matter is "churches" who refuse to display the cross do not love Jesus. The are running social organizations instead of churches and have ulterior motives.

What is their true motive for being a cross-remover? I will tell you what it is. It is money and power. You see, the more people they get in their church the more potential tithers and givers they will have. The bigger the church the more power they will get. You see if they were truly concerned for the person's soul and not money and power, then they would NOT be ashamed of the cross and realize that it is all about Jesus and not about who can have the biggest church and the most money.

Yes, God wants us to prosper and He is the richest of all rich and has all the gold and all the silver as it is written in Haggai 2:8 and Psalms 50:10-12 says He owns all the world's wealth. As His sons and daughters, we get to share in His great wealth as long as our motives are using it to advance the kingdom. It is not advancing the Kingdom of Christ when we show shame over the cross because we might offend someone, so we become cross-removers.

Mark 8:34-38 (NAS) And He summoned the multitude with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's shall save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? For what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

The world expects us to be different, and if they come into the church and do not see a difference between church life and worldly life, then they will think why should they bother with any lifestyle changes?

Oh yes, the cross-removers just might build their churches but it will be one of quantity and not quality. In other words a country club and not a church. I would like to see the explanation the cross-removers give Jesus when they stand before Him on Judgement Day. Jesus will ask them why they felt what He did for them on the cross was not important enough to display the cross as a symbol of respect and worship and they will say, "Well Jesus I didn't want to offend the unchurched by making them feel they were in a "religious" atmosphere." Jesus will then say depart from me you workers of iniquity for I never knew you. Since you were ashamed of me before mankind, I am also ashamed of you before my Father in Heaven."

You see, if you truly are a Christian and truly love Jesus, then you will not be ashamed of Christ in any capacity and that includes the cross, my friend. We live in a time where the governments of the various nations tell us we can't display the Ten Commandments in public, pray in public, display the name of Jesus in public or declare that Jesus is Lord publicly because it might offend some Muslim, Buddhist, or atheist. Are you going to be so cowardly as to let the "politically correct" crowd dictate to you what the church may say, do, or display, or are you going to be a real man or woman of God and say "I am not ashamed to display the cross, because it is showing that I respect and appreciate what Jesus did for me and that my church is one who worships Jesus regardless of what the world and unsaved say. Jesus is my King and as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

Think about it!

This may sound harsh in what I am about to say in my next statement but I do not screw around. I tell it like it is baby.

Jesus carried the cross for us, but cross-removers are refusing to carry the cross for Him!



Phil 2:8 (NIV) And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross!



Luke 9:23 (KJV) And he said to them all, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."
The bottom line is stop being ashamed of the cross and Jesus or you won't get to Heaven! Say no to cross removal and yes to cross displaying, if you really love Jesus! Stop being a user friendly or seeker friendly church and be proud to be a no compromise Jesus church!

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose ye this day whom ye will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)






Therefore, to HELL with cross removers because that is exactly where the are going.
