It’s Time to Act

Our very freedoms as we know them hinge on preserving Canada's Judeo-Christian foundation.
The infiltration of other world views are at first subtle and considered harmless. Great Britain is a prime example of how disastrously this can play out. Last year for simply exposing this threat, Church of England Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali of Rochester had jihadist death threats made against him when he publicly warned about the encroaching Islamization of Britain. The bishop urged that Muslim courts must not be permitted to enforce what is "contrary to public law" in Britain. Consider the suicide bombings carried out by British Muslims motivated by Islamic extremism on July 7, 2005. Surely this must have caused many British citizens to wonder where and when their leaders had failed them.
On Monday, April 6, 2009 FrontPageMagazine.com reported, "Much of Britain's religious establishment, like its secular elites, prefer ignoring or remaining publicly silent about the threats to Britain's historic culture of tolerance posed by radical Muslims."
The U.S.A. is moving toward the same fate. Last week, President Barack Obama told a gathering in Turkey that "America was not a Christian nation," instead saying, "…it is a nation of citizens bound by a set of values." One must immediately ask what world view these values are founded upon. The President's statement seeks to compromise and appease, but it opens wide the multicultural Pandora's box to the demands of every world view insisting on legislative protection and further complicates the secular biases already prevalent in their judiciary.
The American Christian population is reported to be identical to what our Canadian 2001 census reported, 76 percent. It amazes and frightens me to think of how easily leaders will cave in to such minority demands at the expense of their citizens' very freedoms.
Without the truth of our Canadian Christian foundation firmly impressed and understood in the minds of young Canadians, they will not recognize the need or be equipped to defend the foundation that afforded the freedoms that they, their parents, and grandparents have long enjoyed.
Only CHP Canada unashamedly recognizes the importance of defending the opening statement of our Constitution: "Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law."
There is good reason why we need to teach this in our schools and universities… Our future freedom depends on it!
