Florida church to host 'Jihad in Jacksonville' event

[meegbear]

Glad Tidings Church, located in Jacksonville, is set to host a “Jihad in Jacksonville” training conference on July 31. The event is being billed as an opportunity to “learn about the Muslim enemies already here and what you can do about it.”

For $40 per person, attendees can sit in on several lectures, including one by P. David Gaubatz, who is described as being a “counter-terrorism expert and covert operative.” According to a calendar posting for the event, Gaubatz’s lecture will focus on: “The Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated goal is to infiltrate the foundational institutional organization(s) (politics, media, education, and religious) to subvert and destroy America from within.”

Gaubatz and his son Chris will also discuss a six-month undercover operation at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, where Chris gleaned over 12,000 “incriminating pages of evidence” while acting as an intern. Dave, who is the co-author of Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld Which Is Conspiring to Islamize America, is noted as being the man “directly responsible for saving the Iraqi Doctor who saved Private Jessica Lynch, along with his family.” According to Loonwatch.com, Gaubatz has previously called President Obama a “crack head” and our “Muslim leader.”

Also on the agenda? “Conducting your activitism in a legal and professional manner,” ”Being prepared for Lawsuits from by Islamic based Terror Groups and/or Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups” and “Staying away from ‘Rhetoric.’”

Tensions around Florida’s Muslim community have been running high in recent months — the event comes just over two months after a Jacksonville mosque was pipe-bombed following the addition of a Muslim man to the Jacksonville Human Rights panel.

A Gainseville-area church is also planning an upcoming anti-Muslim event: “Burn a Koran Day” is slated to take place on September Eleventh.

2. and they still havent found the guy/s who attempted to BOMB a jacksonville mosque

are the other lectures going to be titled "how to hide your face when bombing someone else's church", or "that's not a playground, but a terrorist training sliding board"

I've lived in Georgia and Louisiana but have never seen such hate, ignorant rage, and racism as I have in North Florida.

3. Sad to see how churches have mutated.

When I was a kid, I still have those fading memories of preachers saying "Jesus Loves You"

Now, it seems every time the press covers a church, it's when a Preacher says "Jesus Hates Gays, Lesbians, people of color, Muslims, etc..."

And what really angers me is that those churches who allegedly oppose the Religious Right are silent. Even when they try and do something like the United Church of Christ trying to put an ad on TV, and the networks reject their ad, they just slither away and do nothing to fight back.

And that's another reason why I've given up on churches.

5. I'm 39 and can't recall a time when churches weren't filled with hate

for anyone not just like them.

6. I'm 40 and I remember when churches - even the Southern Baptist

Church - wasn't filled with hate.

And... I grew up in the South, too!

7. We are from the same state.

I grew up on the opposite side - Memphis. As an 'outsider' - a misfit metalhead/goth/industrial male I am here to tell you unequivocally that so-called 'christians' are full of hate. They only pretend to like you if they are trying to recruit you.

4. Are they aware that Jihad is a good and noble thing?

Like carrying a kirpan is for a Sikh? You know defending the weak and downtrodden?

Probably....not.
