Opening Insights
Judeo-Christian values are quickly being replaced. Principles, morals, values and heritage are all dying out.
We are bombarded with politically correct rhetoric, by leaders (politicians, religious leaders, celebrities and academics) calling for compassion, tolerance and “equality.”

Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in reference to their God.

Judeo-Christian communities across Europe and the world are being discriminated against and destroyed. Churches and synagogues in many countries are giving way to mosques. “Sharia courts and law” are quickly nudging their way into the Western World. Many Muslims (who came, sought and found refuge in new countries) appear unaccepting and intolerant of the culture, country and people (Non-Muslims and liberals) who founded and built the country they just entered. They seek to change their hosts. Muslims sit in silence as their "brothers" act in the name of Islam.
The problem with Islamic violence is that it’s being done in the name of Islam. And while we dare never repeat the lie that violence is endemic to Islam – knowing full well that other religions have had violent streaks – it is true that violence in the name of Islam is not being condemned by a sufficient number in the Islamic mainstream.
Western nations, thus far have based their way of life on Judeo-Christian values of the Bible; a book outlawed by Islam under penalty of death.
(Islam) is not the faith of this country. And that is not the religion that built this nation. The people of the Christian faith and the Jewish faith are the ones who built America, and it is not Islam.
Countless efforts are being made by "moderate" and extreme Muslim clerics and leaders around the world who call for Muslims and Non-Muslims to follow the teachings of Islam, convert their environments and implement sharia law within their communities. We listen and provide a platform for the exercise of free expression. We gasp in horror, but what will we do about it?
Tolerance is one thing, but when that tolerance paves the way for blatant opposition and destruction of the traditions, values and very foundations on which a country and community were established, one has to wonder: what is going on?
Why do we continue allowing our civil liberties to be silently and subtly dissolved by the communities and cultures of people who want to see our values and rights eliminated? Is it logical to think if I treat someone with equality and love that they are simply going to give it back to me, when they have been taught to hate, rape and kill anyone who is different? Would you give a hungry lion a lamb and expect the lion to go against its instinct and learned behavior?
Recently, The Gatestone Institute reported the striking rate of closures of churches (423) in the United Kingdom’s capital city (London), a trend mirrored elsewhere in Europe, and the blooming number (500) of mosques that have been established in their stead.
“London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together”, according to Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi, one of the Islamic preachers who now lead “Londonistan”, as the journalist Melanie Phillips has called the English capital. No, Rizvi is not a right-wing extremist. Wole Soyinka, a Nobel Laureate for Literature, was less generous; he called the UK “a cesspit for Islamists”.
“Terrorists can not stand London multiculturalism”, London’s mayor Sadiq Khan said after the recent deadly terror attack at Westminster. The opposite is true: British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism. Above all, Londonistan, with its new 423 mosques, is built on the sad ruins of English Christianity.
The Hyatt United Church was bought by the Egyptian community to be converted to a mosque. St Peter’s Church has been converted into the Madina Mosque. The Brick Lane Mosque was built on a former Methodist church. Not only buildings are converted, but also people. The number of converts to Islam has doubled; often they embrace radical Islam, as with Khalid Masood, the terrorist who struck Westminster.
[..] Given the current trends, Christianity in England is becoming a relic, while Islam will be the religion of the future.
What is our go-to solution? “Keep calm and carry on.” Will we accept and embrace multiculturalism at the expense of our culture, identity and values?
Does anyone seriously think America is more seriously jeopardized by Christian conservatives than by Islamic zealots? I fear that many Americans believe just that in the same way that many pre-World War II Westerners considered Churchill a bigger threat than Hitler.
Rabbi Daniel Lapin
We cannot merely pray our problems away. A wise man once said, “We cannot expect God to do for us that which we can do for ourselves.” Our complacency and culture have created this problem. It is time that we, as a community, unite, setting aside pettiness and return to understand the lessons of history before they are repeated. If we do nothing then we need to accept what is to come and the legacy we are leaving our children, one in which Sharia Law will dictate and demand that Judeo-Christian values be exterminated and infidels along with them.
Possibilities for Consideration
What if there was a way to reestablish these values through a community outreach that didn’t preach religion, but taught the skills of how to think, the values of maturity and the principles that form the foundation of Judeo-Christian values? What if there was a way to infuse honesty, selflessness, purity of intention and reality (love and trust) back into our communities and businesses?
We are putting together a team of committed Christian and Jewish leaders, heroes and visionaries who want to go beyond talking about the problems, and get to the heart of the problems and put prayers back into action.
We are a growing coalition of Judeo-Christian leaders who are bringing faith back into the world via the principles of honesty, selflessness, purity of intention and love - leaders who work to: unite and grow their communities by empowering, teaching and building their fellowship rather than just preaching to and feeding their congregations.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Being willing is not enough; we must do.
