Americaās Christian Heritage Cannot Be Erased
Americaās government was not established as a national church, but our nationās history, culture and understanding of liberty were deeply influenced by faith and biblical principles.
The Declaration of Independence proclaims that our rights are not gifts from governmentāthey are given by our Creator.

Americaās government was not established as a national church, but our nationās history, culture and understanding of liberty were deeply influenced by faith and biblical principles.
The Declaration of Independence proclaims that our rights are not gifts from governmentāthey are given by our Creator.
Biblical words and imagery can still be found throughout our national buildings. Psalm 16:1 is inscribed in the U.S. Capitol Prayer Room. Moses and the Ten Commandments are represented in the Capitol and inside the U.S. Supreme Court.
These symbols were not placed there by accident. They remind us that faith, moral responsibility and belief in God have played an important role in Americaās story.
The First Amendment protects religious freedom while preventing the federal government from establishing an official religion. It does not require Americans to erase God from public life.
We should never be ashamed of Americaās Christian heritage. We must preserve it, teach it to future generations and continue praying for our nation.
āBlessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.ā ā Psalm 33:12

Their original mission was to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem and defend the Crusader states established in the Holy Land.
Templars fought against Muslim armies because they were part of the Crusadesāreligious and political conflicts between Christian and Muslim powers over control of important territories, especially Jerusalem and other holy sites. These wars were driven by a complex mix of faith, politics, alliances, and territorial ambitions.
The battle depicted represents the type of large-scale engagements that took place during the Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries. Both Christian and Muslim forces included skilled soldiers and leaders, and the conflict lasted for nearly two centuries before the Crusader states ultimately fell. Today, historians study the Crusades as a significant and complex period in medieval history, recognizing the lasting impact they had on both Europe and the Middle East.
The Crusades (1095ā1291) were a series of military campaigns primarily aimed at regaining or defending Christian control of parts of the Holy Land in the eastern Mediterranean. While some Crusades involved fighting in Europe, such as in the Iberian Peninsula during the Reconquista or campaigns in the Balkans.

Today Europe has been invaded once again, It occurs through legal immigration, asylum, family reunification, labor migration, and, in some cases, unauthorized migration. large-scale immigration as a "re-invasion" because they believe it is significantly changing European culture or demographics.
Whether current immigration levels are beneficial or harmful is the subject of active political debate across Europe. Concerns raised include integration, housing, public services, crime, security, and preserving national identity.
Violence committed by Muslim immigrants has been a significant public concern in parts of Europe, particularly following high-profile terrorist attacks and certain criminal cases. Some immigrants, including some from predominantly Muslim countries, have been convicted of violent offenses such as assault, robbery, homicide, and sexual violence. Some European cities have seen riots or clashes involving individuals from immigrant backgrounds.
A shame Europe has allowed this to happen, and each nation needs to defend its faith, heritage, and its people. We must all be Defenders of the Faith.
