Defend America! Ban Muslim Immigration | Steven Hotze, M.D.

John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, captured the essence of the Christian foundation of our nation on the 45th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence: “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”

On September 7, 1774, the First Continental Congress opened with this prayer offered by Reverend Jacob Duché. This prayer, offered in the name of Jesus Christ, reveals the Christian character of America’s founding.

“O Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these our American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee.

To Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give…All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior. Amen.”

America was established as a Christian nation, rooted in biblical principles of liberty under God, not as a neutral playground for every ideology. Yet today, millions of Americans recognize a direct and existential threat to that heritage: the mass immigration of Muslims whose leaders openly declare their intent to supplant our form of government with an Islamic caliphate and impose Sharia law.

Council on American–Islamic Relations

(CAIR) founder Omar Ahmad stated plainly: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” CAIR has been classified as a terrorist organization by both Texas and Florida. 

An Islamic scholar in California, Uthman Farooq, stated on video, “You cannot stop Islam in America. This is NOT your country, this is OUR country. This is the land of Allah. If you want to live in a place with no Muslims, I suggest you go to hell.”

In Alabama, Imam Ragab Abdelmoneim of the Islamic Academy of Huntsville openly preached to his audience that Muslims must be ready to sacrifice their lives through jihad in order to establish “the religion of Allah” in the United States, claiming victory over America is closer than ever. This is not happening in some distant land. It is being preached openly on American soil.

Islam and Christianity have been locked in conflict for 1,400 years. From the earliest Muslim conquests that swept across the Christian lands of the Middle East, North Africa, and into Europe, through centuries of jihad, Islamic forces have used military power, conquest, and subjugation to advance their system. The pattern is consistent. Islam is not content to coexist as one faith among many. Its doctrine commands dominance.

Muslims are indoctrinated through their religious texts and teachings to view Christians and Jews as inferior or enemies to be subdued and murdered. Just look how the Muslims are slaughtering Christians in Nigeria. Where is the outcry of our politicians and our pastors? 

The call to jihad—holy war—is not a fringe interpretation but a central command embedded in Islamic scripture and history. Force has always been the primary tool for imposing this ideological system wherever Muslims have gained power.

Islam is not merely a religion in the sense understood by Christians. It is a comprehensive political philosophy and legal system that demands total submission to Sharia law and ultimate rule over the entire world under a caliphate. Its goal is not peaceful coexistence but the replacement of all other systems of government with Islamic governance by force. 

When an imam on American soil calls for jihad to establish “the religion of Allah” in the United States, and when prominent Muslim voices declare this land belongs to Allah and that Islam must become dominant, the question must be asked: At what point does this cease to be protected “religious speech” and become a clear national security threat?

The evidence is mounting. Millions of Americans oppose the continued immigration of Muslims precisely because their leaders have stated their plan to destroy our constitutional republic and replace it with Sharia. This is not prejudice. It is recognition of an ideological invasion that has already transformed parts of Europe.

Poland offers a proven model to stop this Muslim invasion. European Parliament member Dominik Tarczynski explained on Newsmax how Poland refused to accept any Muslim immigrants beginning in 2015, built a border wall at a cost of $2.5 billion, changed its laws to allow soldiers to use live ammunition against illegal crossers, and enforced strict policies after an immigrant killed a Polish soldier. The result: Poland is now the safest country in Europe, with the lowest unemployment rate, strong economic growth, and what Tarczynski calls “the last stronghold of normality in Europe. Poland is a Christian nation.” His message to the West is direct: “Be like Poland.”

America must follow that example. Christians who believe in the founding principles of this nation must run for every public office—from school boards and city councils to state legislatures and Congress. We cannot remain passive while an alien political ideology advances under the cover of religion. We must take back our institutions at every level to ensure that Islam is defeated in America.

All illegal immigrants who are Muslim must be deported without delay. Our borders must be secured. Immigration from Muslim-majority nations must be halted. The survival of the Christian nation founded by the men who prayed in the name of Jesus Christ in 1774 depends on it.

The prayer of the First Continental Congress still echoes: “Defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries… enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation… that truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst the people.”

That foundation is Christian. The threat is Islamic domination. The duty of faithful Americans is clear: stand, speak, run for office, secure the border, deport the invaders, and restore the Christian character of the United States before it is too late. Be like the founders. Be like Poland. Ban Muslim immigration. Defend America! 

“Through God we shall do valiantly and it is He who will tread down our adversaries.” (Psalm 108:13)
