Author

Robert Louis Tegenkamp

The author Robert Louis Tegenkamp grew up on the back side of Cincinnati Ohio in the German community of North Fairmount. At age 16 he became a boy evangelist preaching in over a dozen churches before graduating from high school. Unable to afford Bible College even at one dollar a day Robert secured a job with an optical firm and attended the University of Cincinnati evening college classes three nights a week. In 1961 Robert was called up to serve in the military later receiving an honorable discharge in 1963. He continued his studies for several years while he acquired his skills as a licensed optician in three different states. Suddenly he was able to attended Bible college morning classes before business hours for another four years and was awarded valedictorian of the historic Gods Bible College in 1975 earning a Bachelor of Religious Education degree. He moved to Florida where he went on to earn his Masters degree and his Doctorate of Theology. He opened his optical store in 1981 as he continued to study with various Bible institutes while also serving two different churches as Christian Educational Director. In a period of eight years he brought each individual church from 80 members to over 1000 in Sunday morning attendance. In 1995 Robert produced an evangelistic television series aired across northern America to over 80 million homes, held speaking engagements as well as a revival for a missionary friend in Honduras and later was elected to public office in 2000 which resulted in changing the complete coastline along the Pensacola peninsula of Northwest Florida. In 2004 Robert began writing Christian books sharing his knowledge and experiences with all those who have come to know him and love him.

    AMERICAN MUSLIM PLEDGE

    Islam will have no place for violence in America. Any person calling for an act of violence in the name of Islam bringing harm or destruction in America or fellow citizens must be held accountable. Grievances must be addressed by civil authorities. It is the religious and civic duty of every Muslim to unconditionally condemn any act of terrorism perpetrated in the name of Islam. I will not associate with any Muslim group that has ties to terrorism in any way which must be universally condemned by both religious and secular Muslims and as an American Muslim citizen I will uphold the laws of the United States of America.

    * For educational purposes the author allows material in this book to be used for any purpose for promoting the betterment of relationships between various ideologies and political views by all individuals and their cultures.

    This is a special invitation to fellow Muslim citizens and friends to obey the Qur’an as mentioned inside its text requesting Muslims to seek the truth.

    You owe it to yourself to read this portion of the truth and decide in your own heart if that which you understand about God is complete or is there more that you must know which you have yet to learn ?

    CHAPTER 1

    HOW THIS ALL BEGAN

    For a better excuse than that which we have already rejected many times over for the circumstances in which we find our world today we should look back to General Alexios Komnenos victor of the collapsing Byzantine Empire, the former Roman domain, less than a thousand years ago. He is suddenly crowned ruler of the Byzantine States reaching from Milan Italy to Constantinople, and Caesarea stretching around the beautiful coast of the Mediterranean to Alexandria, North Africa and beyond. Alexios-I (‘Aλέξιος Α’ Κομνηνός) General of the Greek Army, a rogue statesman but shrewd politician, suddenly becomes Emperor. With his newly acquired power Alexios defied the pacifists in his court stripping them of their titles and pious ranks creating his own military strategy of relentless persistence, thus initiating the first defeat of Islamic aggression after 98 years having practically pulverized the failing Byzantine Empire. Pope Urban II agrees to send into battle his Roman Knights assisting Alexios bringing about the withdraw of Muslim Seljuk Turk assaults on the Christian world and the first of eight Crusades continuing for another 200 years until 1291 AD Islamists have since resented the Roman Pontiff for interfering with their conquest upon the Christian world. And if that wasn’t enough to anger them, by 1948, their arch enemy Israel, over night, acquired state sovereignty recognized by the United States as well as all of Europe and that is how all of this began. Islamists have never gotten over it.

    Fourteen years following the historic event of awarding the State of Israel sovereignty, a thorn piercing deeply into Islamic flesh, a young upstart by the name of Edward Moore Kennedy, nick named Ted was elected in 1962 to the United States Senate of Massachusetts. Of his many supposed accomplishments during nine terms in the Senate, his single most achievement according to political history is the Immigration Nationalization Reform Bill of 1965. With his persuasive manner Kennedy abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place since 1924 initiated by President Calvin Coolidge governing the balance of immigration in this nation. Directly after Kennedy’s proposal passed, 170,000 immigrants from five Islamic countries were admitted into the U.S.

    While our attention in this country was primarily focused on communism and the social revolution of the sixties among the races, Islamic war lords were mapping out a strategy of world conquest including the U.S. Kennedy’s maneuver to open our society to Islamic infiltration was prompted to accommodate the oil barrens of Saudi Arabia. His assurance to the nation was this; "Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. And secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be drastically upset." Insisting that immigration from Eastern countries would be limited, Kennedy pushed his proposal through congress eventually becoming one of his pet passions. Yet, Kennedy had researched none of the effects that Islamic ideology of self rule and imperialistic cultural control had upon Muslim populations. Not once had he investigated Islamic culture or read their Qur’an that they claim must rule over any constitution of any nation including the U.S. He had never talked with anyone who knew anything about Islamic traditions. When asked the people to vote on these immigration changes, 76% of the American people voted against the change. So, who said Change was good? Setting precedence that continues today, Kennedy had no intention of listening to the people of this nation. He had his own agenda which included stepping stones that fit his perceived political career of power and fame. His tradition lives on today as politicians ignore the American people pushing their agendas through congress whenever and however they can.

    Since then the Kennedy reform has made a profoundly dramatic demographic change in America with a shift from European to Arabian, South American, and Asiatic immigration. At a typical Oath of Allegiance gathering for citizenship, out of an average gathering of 22 candidates, three are European and the rest are Islamic, Asian, and Latino. Since then the Islamic population has grown from 120,000 in 1965 to over 9 million in 2012. This was not the purpose for which Martin Luther King Jr. marched through the streets during the 1960’s. Those were the days of glory for the secularists and political elites like Kennedy persisting in advancing their philosophical ideology of political corrections flaunting their piety with the challenge, "Are we going to be true to what we say our values are?" They used Luther’s cause as cover while in secret pressing the rookie Kennedy into opening the doors of this nation to the Islamists of the East.

    Within three years after being elected to the U.S. Senate Ted Kennedy had pushed his untouchable Bill through congress backed by Saudi Arabia gaining prestige among his peers and a reputation that would continue for the next 46 years with this new progressive approach on the legislature. Islam is grateful to Kennedy for opening the flood gates into this nation. In America Islamists pursue their planned agenda to populate, infiltrate, and propagate their cultural traditions and eventually Sharia rule upon the American people.

    Entering the population of the U.S. in 2008 over 40,000 Islamists w ere admitted with many more standing in line. The single largest group of Muslim immigrants originates from South Asia, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. They are followed by an estimated 300,000 Iranians and 600,000 Arabs from other Islamic countries. As we venture into this world of Islam we will consider a few characteristics of Asiatic people beginning with the Shiites. These Muslims make up a lesser percentage of worldwide Muslim population and most likely represents the same ratio among the Muslims now living in America. These are the conservative Muslims. The Sunni Muslims do not have a formal clergy but many scholars controlling Sharia courts offering non-binding opinions in judicial cases as they pursue political positions of power in the nations that they infiltrate. The Shiites hierarchy is similar in structure and has religious power over Muslims as is that of the Roman Catholic Church having a Pope-like authority presiding over the people of Islam. The late Imam Supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini’s portrait hangs in most Shiite homes. Yet, the more militant Sunni Islamists lord over the massive Muslim population by imposing upon them their traditions and culture including the number of children they are required to produce.

    Imams represent the clerics of the Shiites, also a class of extreme poverty as in Iran and today’s Iraq taken from the Sunnis. Islamists are quite unique from other immigrants entering this country. Under the watchful eyes of the Imams Muslims are kept from straying outside their cultural boundaries. Sunni Muslims are militant as we will discover controlled by caliphs, the supposed descendents of Muhammad. One group we seldom hear about is the Kharijite Muslims.

    Kharijite Muslims are extraneous like any cult group, adhering to their preferred interpretation of the Qur’an insisting that there is no compromise with other ideologies branding everyone an infidel that does not live by their rule of Islam.

    As freighting as this appears, this extremely intolerant group of Muslims were once few in number. To say that they represent the general characteristic model of Islamists is not completely fair. Nevertheless, the history of Islam emerges out of a combination of fear and terror erupting from the extremely empty, dark hole left in history during and after the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 AD. No one really knows when the term Islam came into existence. Honest scholars insist that Muhammad never spoke such a word in his life. After the death of the prophet tragedy fell upon one Caliph after another at the hands of their own brethren. One family member after another was murdered or came up missing mysteriously by the hands of his descendents. The Caliph, a male relative, brother or son, successor to the prophet was short lived by the brutality thrust upon them also by other members of the clan. This was exactly what was expected from the heritage Muhammad had left. One Caliph was assassinated, another poisoned, another disappeared mysteriously, and others went into hiding. No matter how they resisted, violence intercepted them, one by one, according to tradition, resulting from disputes as to who would rule over the Muhammadites. At that time they were only a band of raiders who were devout followers. Where the god of Muhammad was during all this feuding is anyone’s guess?

    By 677 AD Yazid, a son-in-law and prominent Caliph, a Sunni Muslim, took advantage of the massive dissension placing himself in charge as Caliphate, (Imperial world leader) and especially of the people also usurping the authority of Ali, a Shiite Muslim cousin and closest heir to Muhammad. Unacceptable to Hassan, the elder son of Ali, General of the Army; Hassan refused to sign an allegiance with Yazid. An uprising out of the tribe of Ali brought about more dissension among the people and because of this feud Yazid’s reign to power suffered the loss of control and authority. This made him very angry. Husayn, also the Imam of Mecca (Shiite cleric of the Kaaba) with his loyalists set out 70 miles to support Hassan but was met mid-way by an army confronting them from Yazid near Kerbala. Husayn reasoned with the militants to let them pass and so they did but when Ali and his company reached Kerbala this same force of 5000 Sunni Muslims massacred Husayn and the entire Ali family which resulted in the establishment of Shiites territory later known as Iran. Discriminated against to this day, Shiite Muslims are still traditionally an oppressed people in Islam having been persecuted since the days of the Husayn massacre by the Sunnis. This was visible to the civilized world during the fighting among Muslim factions at the conquest of Iraq by Isis (Sunni and Kharijite muslins) against the Shiite Muslims during the summer of 2014. Again I say, watch and beware.

    Strangely enough, Muslims everywhere venerate Husayn, the Shiite friend of Ali, as the father of martyrdom and is in whose name Sunni Muslims willingly become modern day martyrs hoping to satisfy this infraction which stains their heritage with an act of penitence for the regret of the murder of Ali. Therefore,

    we have immediately learned that there is a lot more to these people than just religion. To this day Shiites remain less educated, less prosperous, and less productive than any other Muslims. For this reason 65% of the population of Iran lives below the poverty level of Asia. In contrast to the small percentage of impoverished Americans, American is resented and despised by Islamists.

    Of the five different groups of Muslims, the Shiite Muslims are the second largest division yet representing only about fifteen percent of the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. In fact, Sunni and Shiite continue to be at odds with each another over many issues. Shiite Islam is based on the strict conservative teaching of the Wahhabi doctrine from the Qur’an. However, during the past century, Sunni Islam has adopted some of the Shiite ideology realizing that it is the most persuasive tool available to them providing for them tighter controls over the common population of their own people. Shiites, called "The People of the House" consider themselves the direct descendents of their Prophet Muhammad; and they are privileged with the authority of religious influence over all the communities being possessed by Muslims no matter where they might live including America. Their power over modern Muslims is the Sharia law of Shiite culture that reaches into every nation including the U.S. where Islam is rapidly infiltrating. Sharia law is not legal in the U.S. but it is an issue.

    In contrast, the function of Shiite Muslims is similar to that of the judges of our Supreme Court having the last word in Islamic matters while Sunni Muslims represent the enforcement. Obviously, there is no democratic virtue among the Shiites; they rule their people with the rod as well as the sword under the laws of Sharia. The Sharia law authorizes Islamic masters to carry out judgment against offenders by decapitating body parts including the head of violators charged with offences against the rule of Islam as well as honor killings. This is Muslims killing Muslims and also the culture for which Ted Kennedy opened the doors of this nation and invited to live among the people of civilized America. As Christians we view Islamists as an oppressed people and yet potential converts to Christ and Americanism even though we stand amazed how hostile they can be towards one another and also to those outside their belief system and especially Christians and Jews to the point of violent extremism. As President Johnson signed Kennedy’s Immigration Bill into law on Liberty Island, October 4, 1965 he said, "This will not reshape the structure of our daily lives or add importantly to either our wealth or our power." This statement indicates how nearsighted President Johnson was on this issue.

    Yet, the changing of the guard after the 2008 election has thrust this nation into a more desperate direction of political disregard for the wellbeing of the founding principles which have undergirded this great nation for over two centuries. Assuming that this is acceptable is the wrong attitude. Middle Eastern culture is extremely opposed to a democratic self ruling people. In this case most of the Islamists arriving in the US are not privileged to their freedom but they immediately become compliant to their community Iman propagating ideologies of Islam while maintaining a low profile within this society.

    Seeking for a realistic logical reason why Islamists would desire to live in this culture is like looking for mullet in the desert. Nevertheless, among those that arrive and settle in American cities some Islamists secretly anticipate the newness of American culture with hope that they too may become Americanized. Deep within their minds they too are seeking a chance at freedom from the controlled system of their own culture having known no other way of life than authoritarian Sharia justices. Being of that cultural mindset they are also conscience of the watchful eyes of their Islamic "Mahram" the guardians of the family, the father, the brother, the grandfathers, and cleric Imams. Communities where Islamists cluster like that of Detroit and a few other metropolitan areas hinder greatly the effort of American Muslims to make any kind of cultural transition or simple modifications to their lifestyle with even the slightest attempt to adapt to their new world. Knowing this we have the opportunity as well as the responsibility to reach out to our Islamist neighbors in a compassionate manner.

    Upon meeting Islamists for the first time we quickly discover how reluctant they are to receive our hospitality but as we meet from time to time exchanging greetings gradually we become acquainted. As a natural chain of events occur we both become aware of the obvious differences in our cultures, that is, as long as we initiate a casual relationship with them. We must remember that they respond to us at a great risk to themselves and their families. Often a casual acquaintance is interpreted by a "Mahram" as an attempt to become friendly with someone outside the Islamic culture. We must realize that only with a direct conversion to Christ will an Islamist be motivated to escape the world that confines him to a culture of subjugation. This does not come easily. Relationship initiatives engaging a Muslim as a friend will most likely be accomplished by occasional meetings with a lot of small talk that eventually leads to sharing one another’s interests, patiently waiting for the right moment to casually introduce Christ. While this may seem difficult, or requiring a great deal of personal effort, this is how we gain their trust.

    Islamist’s conversion to Christ does not come easily as with other races or nationalities. For Islamists to even consider a notion to follow Christ by faith automatically subjects them to severe criticism and threats of being ostracized from the family, forfeiting any and all wealth that they may be entitled, and possibly a sentence of death. And we thought we gave up something when we accepted Christ. But, that isn’t the worst of it. Islamists denouncing their belief system for faith in Christ are sure to fail if they are not discipled and guided by Christian friends, a sponsoring church, and if possible, other converted Islamists. Yet, many youth and especially young adult women are breaking away as we have seen during the past twenty five years. Islamists are not only programmed from birth to resist Christianity, they are indoctrinated throughout adulthood to hate and literally fear Christians as well as Jews. By the age of 7 a child is ready to pull the trigger or blow himself away for the sake of his parent’s ideology to rid the world of the supposed enemy of the god they call al-liah. There is no plausible reasoning for a child from birth to have any understanding of this madness. His target in 2004 was Christians, Jews, and George W. Bush. What a terrible imposition to impose upon a young mind and heart. Adult Islamists willingly induce their children with various kinds of distress.

    Sheik Feiz Mohammed; Cleric of the Global Islamic Youth Centers in Sydney, Australia said, "We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam. Teach them this: There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid (martyr). Put in their soft, tender hearts the zeal of jihad." The astounding response to this is that this same tradition is taught and practiced here in America in Islamic private schools. We cannot help but notice how they prey upon their own newborns, hardening their "soft, tender hearts" to do murder. Already millions of children born to Islamic parents in Christian America schooled in private Islamic institutions, many already graduating from our colleges, have been indoctrinated all their lives believe this one thing, "There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid for the cause of Islam" and while you are at it, take a few hundred Americans with you, innocent men, women, and small children.

    As tolerant people we have no issue with extremists blowing themselves up as long as they do it out in a field away from the rest of us. We have no issue with this mindset as long as they do not strap explosives around children to execute their dastardly deeds. But, of course, if the Mahram attempts to take us with him then that becomes our concern. In the case of murder the Old Testament Law of Moses declares that there is no forgiveness. Did not the Prophet Muhammad announce that he endorsed the Law of Moses? If that is so, why do extremists ignore the sixth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill" meaning murdering innocent people (Ex. 20:13)? But this doesn’t matter, this is jihad!

    We have these and a few other issues with Islamists but nothing that will hinder us from reserving our right to communicate with them on social and spiritual levels. This privilege to freely communicate with others in this manner unchallenged today may very well be at risk by those that disagree with the freedom to preserve our Christian traditions and freedom of speech as well as publishing the witness of Christ, including interacting with people of different belief systems. This freedom to relate to others with religious intent is in fact targeted as part of a political agenda already active in congress to threaten our right to approach and speak to persons of another persuasion. Our presently oversized government is so intimidated by ACLU and now CAIR, the Muslim civil liberties group that they will slip through legislation in congress passing laws that will prohibit us from even speaking to Muslims or any other groups of differing ideologies. Be assured that this is already a priority perused by secularists in congress and most other official offices of government among our lawmakers as Islam gains more political influence in the U.S.

    Presently since 2010, the objections of referring to this group of people by their religious affiliation has surfaced, and become a prohibited accolade. Instead the politically correct term to use is Islamist. Yet, within just one year, by 2011 the reference Islamist is suddenly questioned as appropriate. So what shall I call one who is from the Middle East, born and raised in the Muslim ideology, a follower of Islam? I will call him an Islamist? I prefer to call a spade a spade. I am what I am. How do Islamists refer to me? Why, they prefer to call me an infidel. Am I not an American? Should I not be known as I am known, and that is, an American born citizen? I am also a Christian. I am not offended if one identifies me as an American Christian. Being a Christian identifies who I am. Why should it offend a Muslim to be called an Islamist? I believe Muslims prefer to be known as Islamists. That is how I will refer to Muslims in this study.

    One priority we will discuss is the increase of Christians seeking public office to maintain the majority rule in our government, in our cities, counties, and our country for the preservation of our historic heritage and freedom maintaining our right of expression and especially the expression of our faith. Few if any Americans and especially Christians have any idea of the anti-American influence that is building up in countless numbers around us and I am not singling out the Islamic population. There is more to this story to be told. Yet, the ideology among the Islamists is created to be incompatible with any other form of lifestyle of religion or government other than theirs. Secularists insist that we are able to live in harmony with Islam which Christendom has proven throughout history and is still practiced. Americans have proven that they welcome and accept Muslims with open arms. Yet, the difficulty arises with the Islamic communities accepting the American people without many demands and extreme compromises. Our concern now is to understand as much as possible about the potential effects that the increasing population of Islamists present today will make in American if they do not become Americanized. Our best efforts to create a coalition between Islam and Christianity are at great risk if Islamists gain even a tenth of our legislative seats in just a few political offices. By the year 2030 a significant number of seats in our legislature could be occupied by those desiring only to dismantle this republic of its treasured virtues and most especially its freedom of expression and individual rights we as Americans so unashamedly take for granted.

    A minority political cause can persist until it is recognized by nothing more than principle supported by the political correctness of modern politicians with a nation overrunning with secularists in this supposedly new age of progressivism. Even a small minority of Islamists in government can overpower the democratic process in rule throughout the world. Here at home a few Islamists in office can bring down an entire community along with our treasured standards, our privileges, our personal rights, our traditions, and our inherent voice of representation. These impositions exist throughout Europe, especially in Holland, France, Germany, and England. Islamic influence dominates the greater part of the African continent and many other provenances in the world like Indonesia as in the East. Two separate police departments as well as court systems are established in all of these countries to accommodate the Islamists rule of judicial and Sharia law. The Sharia Courts are very prominent in England. Imagine!

    One of these two court systems is for the general population of England and the other court system is for the Muslim population. From Mosques comes daily broadcast across loud speakers throughout the cities of many European communities verbally giving the call to Muslim prayers in the Arabic language five times a day. Objections to these amplified broadcasts by the general public are ignored by magistrates as well as Parliament. I can only imagine how Americans would tolerate such blatant intrusion into their precious air space supposedly protected by various noise ordinances.

    Mosques like the one seen on page 16 are everywhere throughout Europe and Asia. Yet, this one is not in Bangladesh or Iran or even India but here in America, located in the city of Dearborn, Michigan. Obviously not all Americans are familiar with the Detroit Michigan social changes in its suburban city of Hamtramck, where three of the six elected city council members are Eastern Muslims, Kazi Miah, Mohammed Hassan, and Shahab Ahmed. But who in America really cares? Who cares that this is the highest Muslim representation in any U.S. municipality in this nation. There appears to be little if any concern.

    This precedence in a single community smothered by the surrounding metropolis of Detroit goes unnoticed hidden from prying eyes. This is not news to MSNBC or ABC but unfortunately for America this sets the pattern for every other municipality. Who cares that the average American has little interest in participating in politics because it is perceived as a stressful and at times a very challenging job. After being elected to a four year term once in my life, I must admit it is a stressful job, an unrewarding challenge, yet a meaningful experience. But, to remain in office the honest working public servant has to make sacrifices. Not all people in political office are deceptive but most are pressured to play up to the voter’s special interest groups. Many are persuaded at the drop of a couple of favors. For this reason I could never ask for donations to my campaign. I was criticized by the news media for paying 90% of my own campaign. If we are to be proud Americans we must reevaluate our standards to rise above normal expatiations. We must convince the public of our value to serve in public office. Lying to the public is sadly the way of life for many politicians and the only way they can secure votes and that is no lie, unfortunately. I say this with kindness.

    Let’s look at this situation. When there was only one Islamic man occupying a Hamtramck councilperson’s seat in the 2004 council they passed an ordinance allowing Muslim Mosques to verbally broadcast calls to Muslim prayers over loudspeakers throughout the city beginning every morning at 6:13 and through the day, every day five times a day, of every month and every year from now and forever. Forever is a long time and just the thought of this dominate Muslim influence in one of our metropolitan cities is enough for all of us to seriously begin to consider the effects of this dramatic demographic revolution. As Christians we may have a difficult task of being elected because our Biblical principles insist that we be honest and truthful and not liars. According to the Qur’an, al-liah permits the Islamist to lie if it serves his purpose to gain power over the "infidel" (their pet name for us) or on the occasion when the Islamist invents a "Jihad" (their pet name for terror against anyone). According to Islamists, running for office in America is just another form of Jihad, a "holy war" against their enemies.
