The Citadel is considering a request from an admitted student that she be allowed to wear a hijab in keeping with her Muslim faith, a move that would be an unprecedented exception to the school’s longstanding uniform requirements.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Of all the immigrant groups that have ever come to America, only one has ever refused to assimilate with our culture and way of life, the Muslims. The reason for this is that wherever they travel, their Qu’ran tells them to ‘claim the land for Allah’. The ultimate goal of Islam is a Sharia America, and that dream is realized one hijab at a time.

If the request for the traditional Muslim hair covering is granted, it apparently would be the first exception made to the Citadel’s uniform, which all cadets at the storied public military college in South Carolina are required to wear at nearly all times. (At beaches, for example, college rules stipulate that, “Cadets will change into appropriate swimwear upon arrival and change back into uniform when departing.”) A spokeswoman said that to her knowledge, in its nearly 175-year history, the school has never granted a religious, or other, accommodation that resulted in a change to the uniform.

Muslims Establishing No-Go Zones in America:

Muslim enclaves that are hostile to surrounding communities are springing up across America. Funded by Pakistani radicals, 22 villages in 9 states have been established that are teaching terrorist tactics to members of their compounds.

As word spread on social media, students, alumni and others responded strongly to the idea of an exception being made at an institution where uniformity, discipline and adherence to rules are defining values, where loyalty to the corps is paramount and individual preferences are trivial.

That the first exception might be for a Muslim student was an additional provocation for some — and welcome symbolism for others —  in the midst of a national discussion about Islam in U.S. culture.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has called for strict limits on Muslims entering the U.S. because he considers the religion one of hatred and violence, while President Obama has said the fight against extremist terrorism is not a fight against one of the world’s largest religious faiths.

Nick Pinelli, a cadet working in marketing and DJing who is expecting to graduate in May, wrote a long post about the issue on Facebook Wednesday with his objections, including:

The Citadel should be able to tell the prospective student to wear what they tell her to wear. Not because they are concerned with the religion she is trying to practice or the speech expressed by doing so, but because they are concerned with the execution of an essential part of the system the Citadel puts in place. Agree or not with the system, this institution has that system for a reason (that most maintain has worked exceptionally for almost 200 years) and the disruption of that system by exempting those who don’t wish to conform is legally pronounced a slippery slope that will lead to the further disintegration of said system. Unfortunately, after seeing what has happened in the military in similar cases, the school is being financially responsible in not fighting it.

He pointed out that he doesn’t speak for the Citadel (which he doesn’t blame for considering the request) or for the Trump campaign, for which he is an intern, and wrote:

If I valued liberal ideology, I would go to UC Berkeley. I’d wear, say, and do whatever I wanted and it wouldn’t cost the university any time or money for me to do so. If I valued conservative ideology and wanted to challenge myself in a military environment, I would go to the Citadel. It’s no secret that you can’t wear what you want when you’re at the Citadel. You’re punished even for wearing what you want when you’re not on campus. But, those who come here are signing up for that, no matter how much they hate it (we do). So it’s not unfair to those people who want to join an organization with the intentions of excluding themselves from the regulations, it’s unfair to those who practice within the realms of those regulations. It’s unfair to the school having to change rules and adjust to the individual, when the individual could’ve gone to USC without incident. Your expression of self shouldn’t place a burden of cost on others.

This girl should be welcomed to the Corps with open arms, as should any person of any religion, race, gender, or identity. That’s equality. It’s not equality to let one of those groups follow a different set of rules

Pinelli wrote about a cadet whom he admires, a young man with cerebral palsy. “As you can imagine, one with such a physical condition would face challenges meeting the standard for physical fitness. Instead of showing up seeking a different set of rules, he jumped right into a challenge that was a perpetually uphill battle. Instead of saying he shouldn’t have to pass the PT test because of his disability, he failed it time and again and suffered the ramifications of holding himself to the same standard as the rest of the Corps.” He did not give up, and ultimately passed the test.

Pinelli wrote that another cadet had called him a bigot for objecting to the idea of an accommodation for a Muslim student. But it was not her religion but her “sense of entitlement” in asking for the accommodation that bothered him, he wrote.

Someone wrote in response to his post that if the rules were not changed, “she would either have to break the rules of the Citadel or the rules of her religion.” Another wrote, “… I  hope the best for this young lady. … I applaud our school and administration.”

But many voiced strong opposition to the idea of altering the college’s traditions. One cadet responded:

It doesn’t bring harm to the school. But it is a blatant disrespect to what a military school stands for. We come here and willingly give up our individuality and become a part of a group that upholds the time honored traditions of this school. So for anyone to come, not even walk through our hallowed gates, and force the school to go to extreme lengths both financially and resourcefully, to accommodate one person, isn’t right. I can’t wear a t-shirt around campus that says “I love Jesus”. Why? It’s not because of religious intolerance, it’s because it does not meet uniform requirements that all 2400 of us are held to. Am I offended that I can’t wear a religious tshirt? Nope. Why? Because I accepted the system that I have become a part of, and I’m willing to let it change me and join a long line of men and women who I will be honored to call my brothers and sisters.

The college, founded in 1842, has won praise for its academics as well as the leadership skills taught to its 2,300 or so undergraduates, about 170 of whom are women (the school began admitting women in 1996). The college has several Muslim students enrolled now, a spokeswoman said. source

FUN FACT: It Is Alcohol That Is The Number #1 Cause Of Preventable Deaths Here In America Not Illegal Drugs Coming Over On Boats From Narcoterrorists

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

It is alcohol consumption and not illegal drug use that is the number #1 cause of preventable death that’s killing a massive number of Americans yearly

For decades we were told that the greatest threat to American life and liberty came from illegal drugs—cocaine, meth, fentanyl, heroin. And to be sure, those substances have destroyed countless lives. But as new national research continues to roll in, a shocking truth has emerged: the legal, government-sanctioned “social drink” is killing far more people than the substances our leaders claim to be waging war against. A message to President Trump – if you really want to stop the killing from drug use, ban the drug we call alcohol. Alcohol kills far more people than illegal drugs do.

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.” Proverbs 23:29-32 (KJB)

In this present Laodicean age, where pleasure is the new morality and self-indulgence is the national pastime, alcohol is quietly claiming lives at a rate that far surpasses illicit drug use. The world shrugs. The media yawns. And Christians—many of them—have learned to justify the very thing that is destroying their own households. So as far as I’m concerned, this whole national dialogue about Narcoterrorists killing Americans with illegal drugs doesn’t hold a candle to the millions of kids who are taught to become alcoholics at MLB and NFL stadiums.

A Legal Substance With Illegal-Level Destruction

Recent mortality data reveals that alcohol-related deaths have skyrocketed, overtaking illicit drugs as a major cause of preventable death in the United States. The numbers include liver disease, alcohol-induced organ failure, drunk-driving fatalities, alcohol-fueled violence, and deaths tied to long-term addiction. Yet unlike illegal drugs, alcohol enjoys full cultural acceptance, full government protection, and full corporate marketing power behind it. There is no stigma. No shame. No national warning campaign. Alcohol is celebrated in commercials, sports events, holidays, weddings, even in some so-called “church fellowships.” No Christian should ever drink it, and no preacher should ever stay silent about it.

Because the Bible is not silent. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1). In God’s preserved Book, alcohol is never neutral, never harmless, and never “safe in moderation.” Its end is always destruction. America used to know that when preachers like DL Moody and Billy Sunday stood in the pulpit.

Big Alcohol: A Multibillion-Dollar Industry Built on Broken Homes

If Big Pharma profits from addiction, Big Alcohol might be even worse. Billions of dollars flow through an industry whose survival depends on one thing: repeat customers. The light drinker is not their business. Their real money comes from people they’ve addicted who can’t stop.

And what do we get in return?

  • Tens of thousands of deaths every year
  • Millions of broken marriages
  • Abuse, violence, poverty, and imprisonment
  • Children raised in instability
  • Generational trauma that repeats itself like a curse

This is not an accident. This is the fruit of a system that has normalized what God has condemned. But we were warned: “At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.” (Proverbs 23:32)

Why Christians Are Losing the Battle Before It Even Starts

The saddest part is not what the world is doing with alcohol—it’s what the Church is doing. In this lukewarm Church Age, professing Christians defend alcohol more strongly than they defend the Bible! They insist that “Jesus made wine,” ignoring the scriptural distinctions between fermented and unfermented wine. They argue that drinking is fine “as long as I don’t get drunk,” as if voluntarily consuming a mind-altering substance is some kind of Christian liberty badge. It isn’t.

This is not liberty. It is bondage masquerading as freedom.

The apostle Paul writes, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). Notice the contrast: one spirit empties you of discernment; the Holy Spirit fills you with it. Alcohol reduces, diminishes, and destroys. The Spirit edifies, strengthens, and sanctifies. But you don’t know that because your pastor doesn’t preach that.

America isn’t merely drunk on alcohol. She is drunk on self-justification, convinced she can handle what is handling her.

When Noah emerged from the ark into a brand-new world, the very first recorded sin was drunkenness and alcohol-induced shame (Genesis 9:20-24). When God describes the fall of Babylon in Revelation 17–18, the imagery again involves intoxication—nations made drunk with spiritual fornication. Alcohol is not just a social issue; it is a spiritual picture of a people dulled, numbed, and desensitized right before judgment falls. America is not dying because of what is illegal, but because of what is celebrated. “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.“1 Peter4:7 (KJB)

One Reason Why The NIV Bible Is So Popular With The LGBTQ ‘Christian’ Community Is Due To The Work And Influence Of Virginia Ramey Mollenkott

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Virginia Mollenkott played a minor role in the creation of the NIV ‘bible’, but her work had a major influence in leading astray the body of Christ

Virginia Ramey Mollenkott is the author or co-author of 13 books, including several on LGBTQ women and religion. She is a winner of the Lambda Literary Award and has published numerous essays on literary topics. But in the years covering 1970 to 1978, Mollenkott played a small but key role in the creation of the NIV ‘bible’, only to be ousted when her LGBTQ agenda became public knowledge.

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:” Romans 1:26 (KJB)

Now I know that some of the things we’re discussing here happened a while ago, but it’s important to see the incredible damage that people like Virginia Mollenkott have done to the body of Christ. When a person like Mollenkott publishes a book such as Omnigender, it sends shockwaves through the camp of Bible believers. Not because her teachings carry biblical weight, they don’t, but because they reveal the spiritual fault lines created when professing Christianity rejects the final authority of the King James Bible. This is not simply a social debate about gender. It is a full-scale spiritual battle over the authority of Scripture and the boundaries God Himself established from the beginning.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJB)

The Bible is not unclear, God made humanity in two genders, and He called His creation very good. But when the Bible is replaced with scholarship, human opinion, or cultural sensitivity, people begin to imagine there are “more than two genders,” and then demand that Scripture bow to their feelings.

Bible believers understand something the world has forgotten: You don’t correct the Bible, the Bible corrects you. Every movement that rejects God’s design always ends up rewriting God Himself. While Mollenkott did not translate the NIV, her peripheral role as a stylistic consultant exposes the worldly direction these modern translation committees were comfortable entertaining.

It raises the question:

Why was someone with her views welcomed anywhere near a Bible translation project?

Because the NIV — like all modern versions — is built on the premise that man can decide:

  • which manuscripts are trustworthy,
  • which words are “better,”
  • and how Scripture should read in the modern world.
  • That philosophy opens the door for cultural reinterpretation, feminist revisionism, and — eventually — gender fluidity. A tiny crack in the foundation becomes a doctrinal earthquake.

Virginia Mollenkott’s theology is not Christianity. and her gender ideology is not biblical truth. Her influence — however small — on modern versions only highlights why Bible believers refuse to abandon the preserved, perfect, inerrant King James Bible. The people on the NIV translation committee trusted credentials instead of doctrine, they prioritized “readability” over purity of Scripture. As a result, they opened the door to people like Virginia Mollenkott who did not hold the Bible as final authority.

The King James translators were:

  • doctrinally conservative
  • openly Christian
  • unafraid of biblical authority
  • accountable to the church
  • committed to preserving Scripture, not reinventing it

But the NIV’s translation philosophy (“dynamic equivalence”) welcomed:

  • scholars with questionable theology
  • modernists
  • feminists
  • liberals
  • and yes, eventually LGBTQ advocates

This is the fruit of mixing God’s Book with the world’s agenda, and it’s a deadly poison that continues to work to attack and degrade the authority of scripture today. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott may be all but forgotten, but her work of using the Bible to water down sin and sow confusion remains. If you want God’s preserved word, we got it, go get it.

We need your help to provide much needed support to the Good Child Missions gospel outreach in Uganda for the Cup of Porridge and Christmas Dinner Programs

Back in 2022, Now The End Begins partnered with Irad Biryomumesho from Good Child Missions in Uganda to launch something we called the Cup of Porridge Program that give over a thousand children a hot cup of porridge before church on Sunday. That went so well that the Lord led Irad to want to hold a Christmas Dinner to feed the children and give them the gospel of Jesus Christ. NTEB is helping them with that as well, and we invite you to come help us.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

 Irad Biryomumesho got saved through our Radio Bible Study broadcast, learned how to rightly divide, and the Lord gave him a heart to do something right where he lives in Uganda. NTEB is a main sponsor of the work he is doing and we are happy to partner with him. While the Children’s Christmas Dinner is a one-time event, the Cup of Porridge Program happens 52 Sundays a year. We need to raise about $5,000 to fully fund these two events, and if God has prospered you, prayerfully consider clicking on the donate link to help us. Thank you!
