When Muhammad began hearing in a cave during Ramadan what became the Quaran, there was spiritual unrest not only in Mecca but throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Today America has a spiritual unrest that perhaps was best summed up by a woman's comment: "I want my country back!" There is a feeling that Americans have erred and can't get out of the hole. Even America electing a "black" president - he is at least half white, was deserted by his black father, and raised by his wholly white mother- turns out to be spitting into the wind for this president looks down at Americans "clinging" to their guns and their Bibles. When he travels outside of America, he habitually apologizes for America. We are gravely threatened by Sharia Islamists yet his foreign policies seem to benefit them and not America. An Islamist caliphate has sprung up in land soaked with the fresh blood of American soldiers during this president's tenure. Yes, America is spiritually very uneasy now just as Arabia was in the time of Muhammad.
To be continued.
