America is Too Politically Correct

WASHINGTON, Aug 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- We have finally become more politically correct in America than our common sense should allow. A Roman Catholic Bishop from the Netherlands, Tiny Muskens, believes we could ease tensions between Radical Islamic followers and Christians if we stopped calling God, God and started calling Him Allah.

Father Jonathan Morris said on Fox News today, "It is really all about what language you are speaking and if you are speaking Arabic then you should call him Allah, if you are speaking English you should call Him God."

Don Swarthout, President of Christians Reviving America's Values said, "This thinking implies that we worship the same god taught by Islam, but we do not. I cannot believe the suggestion that Christians should call God by another name which would mean you are accepting another god and another religion. How can you even think about calling Allah your god when Allah wants you to kill innocent men, women and children in his name?"

'The Bible warns us very clearly about being deceived and against accepting the teachings of false prophets. Yet, according to some people, if we were to totally give up on God we would be politically correct. I don't know about you, but I will never stop calling God, God or Jesus Christ our Savior." Swarthout continued.

At least 80% of Americans say that they are Christians. Even if you are not a Christian, how would you feel about forsaking your country and the Democracy we have had since our nation began? Islamic followers believe that we should institute Sharia Law and do away with our Constitution. Maybe that would make us politically correct in their eyes.

One has to wonder, when America will wake up to the fact that being politically correct is ruining our country, our values and our future. If being politically correct means that you have to give up what America stands for and accept beliefs you strongly disagree with and that is just wrong.

According to Swarthout, "Being politically correct is something that has been forced on all of us in America and it really has nothing to do with what you believe. Instead of believing in being politically correct, let's return to the idea that thinking for yourself is an American principle that we can all accept. We must do what is right for America and not what we are told is politically correct."
