Kamal Saleem: A Muslim Cries Out to Jesus - He heard a voice call his name and saw a vision of Christ. This was miraculous, because up until then, Kamal was a Muslim. He was taught as a child that he would die a martyr and if he killed a Jew his hand would light up when he met Allah and liberty and freedom are idols and anti-Islam.
Radical
Islam
Do Muslim countries represent individual freedoms and liberties
or tyranny and oppression? How does this compare with the Republic America's
Christian Founders established, where all religions and secularists were granted
liberty, because Biblical moral virtue was prominent? Now with progressive
political correctness prominent, unrighteous justice and tolerance
without boundaries is diminishing freedom for Marxism, which will allow
Islam to easily conquer.
Is
Sharia Law Inevitable in the West and America?
Daniel Greenfield - Western liberals believe that most Muslims are moderate.
Most Muslims, however, believe that the remedy for all social, political and
moral ills lies in Islam. A believing Muslim, whether Westerners consider him an
extremist or a moderate, will believe that Islam and the Koran have the solution
for all of society's ills. Social problems are caused by a lack of Islam. In his
worldview, Muslim countries can only repair their problems through Islam. And
non-Muslim countries in the Dar al Kufr (Realm of the Infidels), Dar Al Harb
(Realm of the Sword) are bound to be even worse off because they don't follow
Islamic law – which means their only solution is Islam. In such a scenario,
Sharia is inevitable because as Western liberals think of social reforms in
terms of added government control, Muslims think of reform as added clerical
control. This makes Muslims and Socialists seem like natural allies, at least
for a time, because both confuse reform with centralization that takes
individual liberties. Meanwhile the Western Liberal is deluded enough to think
that any application of Sharia law will be moderate, when in fact it will be no
such thing because the Muslim understanding of the world is radically different
than the Western understanding of the world.

World's ‘Most Dangerous Islamist' Alive, Well, and Living in Pennsylvania by Paul Williams, PhD - The most dangerous Islamist in the world is neither Afghani nor Arab. He comes from neither Sudan nor Somalia. His name is Fethullan Gulen and he resides in the mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Islam Permits Lying to Deceive Unbelievers and Bring World Domination!
By Don Boys, Ph.D. - ...Islam permits lying! It is called “Al-taqiyya.”
...Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a
husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate
one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if
it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment
of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam. Mohammed
gave permission for a follower to lie in order to kill a Jewish poet who had
offended Mohammed. I could provide many examples of permissible lying from the
Koran and Hadith and will do so when my critics accuse me of hatred and bigotry
because of this column. My motives are not important but the truth is. However,
many unprincipled people do not consider truth important. It is political
correctness that sits on the throne to be worshiped. Muslims may appear very
sincere; in fact, they are sincere, when they lie for their own protection or in
the cause of Islam. They have permission to lie. Yes, Christians have also lied
but never are they given permission to lie. However, a Muslim has no guilt since
the Koran and Hadith permit his deception.
Islam is a Trojan Horse by Amil Imani - The way in which permissive, oblivious, and well-meaning free societies are reacting to the onslaught of Islamofascism does not bode well for liberty.
...“Europe will be Muslim in a dozen years,” promises the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Supreme Guide (dictator) who is racing full-speed ahead to make as many bombs as possible with long-range missiles capable of delivering their payload anywhere in the world.
This past Friday, Yunis al-Astal, a leading Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament, declared on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam and Rome become an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas.”
The Islam hydra, with Saudi Arabia and the oil-money bloated Emirs and Sheiks of the Persian Gulf leading the Sunni charge from one side and the end-of-the-worlder bomb-seeking Shiite of the Islamic Republic of Iran with its proxies of Hamas, Lebanon Hezbollah and the Sadrists in Iraq closing from the other side will devour the free world.
Free people: are you listening?
Free people: do you care?
Free people: are you doing anything?
Disguised as religion, Islam has penetrated the democracies with the aim of replacing civility and liberty with the barbarism of theocracy and Sharia. Islam’s multi-prong attack aims to destroy all that liberty offers.
Understanding Muslims' Mindset The psychological make up of a Muslim is different from that of non-Muslims. This difference, often irreconcilable as things stand presently, is at the core of the clash of Islam with the West.
Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat - Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.. Here's how it works: ...
How to Identify Friend from Foe by Melanie Phillips - It is very important to separate moderate Muslims from Islamists. But how can you tell a genuine moderate from the dissimulators? ...There are some Muslims who have zero prejudice towards Israel and the Jews. I have met a few of them – and there are indeed only a very few. They are excessively brave people.
Love Not Hostility Will Change Muslims Elijah Friedeman| When you look at the main reasons Muslims come to Christ, you see love is a very big reason. We won't be able to combat Islam by being hostile towards members of that faith. To make a greater difference, we must love Muslims. A survey of 750 Muslims who converted to Christianity shows five predominant reasons they chose to follow Christ. ...
America as the last man standing - "In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?" Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, chairman Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem (which I hope to be attending). The speech was sponsored by the Hudson Institute on September 25.
Excerpts: It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city. There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe.
Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means ‘submission’. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
...An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem. Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives.
Islam's world peace: Now
or later? By William J. Federer - Islam is a religion of peace, but in
the world of paradoxical definitions, perhaps some explanation is needed. The
word "Islam" means submission to the will of Allah. A "Muslim" is one who has
submitted. Whereas most think world peace will be when people just learn how to
get along, faithful Muslims think world peace will be when the whole world
submits to the will of Allah. In other words, world peace means world Islam. To
a fundamental Muslim, submission to Allah means submitting to Islamic law,
called Shariah. Islamic
Shariah law governs every aspect of human life, including:
o what to believe
o what to eat
o how to dress
o when to pray
o in what direction to pray
...
"Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others." - Alexander Hamilton
“Islamic protests against the slightest Western criticism of or doubt about the religion of Mohammed ring hollow... [S]o long as their religion is noted for its willingness to persecute and employ violence around the globe, they have little credibility to complain of offenses by others.” - Doug Bandow
"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprize, every expanded prospect." James Madison (letter to William Bradford, 1 April 1774) Reference: Madison: Writings, Rakove, ed., Library of America (9)
If the American people could see the bone-chilling threats outlined in the [classified] cable traffic concerning al-Qa’ida and other Islamist terror networks, there would be little dissension about our military mission. (Quote from a three-day national security forum with some knowledgeable military officers.)
Murder for the Sake of Honor Every year 5,000 women are murdered in
so-called 'honor killings' where members of a family kill one of their own
women, like a mother or a sister because they believe her actions have
shamed the family. Rana Husseini says that honor is restored only when the
women is dead. Husseini has documented the practice of honor killings as a
reporter for The Times of Jordan. (Video 6m31s)
Lights Out on Liberty by Mark Steyn, a Canadian citizen, columnist and author of "America Alone: The End of The World as We Know It" and has a realistic but chilling view of what is happening to Western civilization because of multiculturalism, with Canada and Britain leading the way in surrendering to Islamic intolerance.

Religion-of-peace update: Muslim men taking little girls as sex slaves (excuse me, "wives") If this picture doesn't make you hurl, there's something wrong with you. No, seriously. Read the accompanying article, which--of course--portrays these sick pedophiliac freaks as victims of Israeli oppression. The Hamas government also paid the men to take these baby girls as sex slaves. Yes, the appropriate term is "sex slave" and not "wife." Islamic law allows men to marry little girls (typically, the minimum age is nine, the age of one of Muhammed's many wives) so they can sexually abuse them. Let's not forget the 11-year-old Iranian girl who attempted suicide after her father sold her into marriage, with the approval of Muslim mullahs. When are we going to knowledge that radical Islam is just as evil as Nazism? ...Update #1 -- Hawkins' Note: Sky News, which is a reputable news source, is claiming that the brides were seated in the audience and that these little girls were just up on stage as part of a ceremony. While child marriages are all too common in Islamic culture, I'm not sure that's what is actually happening here.
“Fitna,” The Face of Radical Islam — Their Aim Destroy the United States - *WARNING: This video is very violent and graphic.* - The new Dutch video, Fitna, released last week caused international controversy for its shocking exposition of Radical Islam and the Quran. Sadly, as a result of threats to the filmmaker’s staff, the video was withdrawn from several websites over the weekend. However, TMLC and others, not to be intimidated by such threats, continued to show the video on their sites — we still have free speech here. Near the end of this video you will see adherents to Radical Islam specifically announce their aim to destroy the United States. Although the video is graphically violent, it is a testament to the true mission of Radical Islam. The video is available for you to watch here at the TMLC website.

Commentary:
Muhammad: Leader of change - Muhammad immigrated to Medina as a religious leader. When his followers increased in number, he changed to a political leader. When his followers were wronged, he changed to a military leader. Five years after immigrating, the civilization that hosted him was eliminated.
Islam’s ‘Public Enemy #1’ - A third reason for Botros’s success is that his polemical technique has proven irrefutable. Each of his episodes has a theme — from the pressing to the esoteric — often expressed as a question (e.g., “Is jihad an obligation for all Muslims?”; “Are women inferior to men in Islam?”; “Did Mohammed say that adulterous female monkeys should be stoned?” “Is drinking the urine of prophets salutary according to sharia?”). To answer the question, Botros meticulously quotes — always careful to give sources and reference numbers — from authoritative Islamic texts on the subject, starting from the Koran; then from the canonical sayings of the prophet — the Hadith; and finally from the words of prominent Muslim theologians past and present — the illustrious ulema. ...More often than not, the response from the ulema is deafening silence — which has only made Botros and Life TV more enticing to Muslim viewers. The ulema who have publicly addressed Botros’s conclusions often find themselves forced to agree with him — which has led to some amusing (and embarrassing) moments on live Arabic TV. ...But the ultimate reason for Botros’s success is that — unlike his Western counterparts who criticize Islam from a political standpoint — his primary interest is the salvation of souls. He often begins and concludes his programs by stating that he loves all Muslims as fellow humans and wants to steer them away from falsehood to Truth. To that end, he doesn’t just expose troubling aspects of Islam. Before concluding every program, he quotes pertinent biblical verses and invites all his viewers to come to Christ. ,,,Botros’s motive is not to incite the West against Islam, promote “Israeli interests,” or “demonize” Muslims, but to draw Muslims away from the dead legalism of sharia to the spirituality of Christianity. Many Western critics fail to appreciate that, to disempower radical Islam, something theocentric and spiritually satisfying — not secularism, democracy, capitalism, materialism, feminism, etc. — must be offered in its place. The truths of one religion can only be challenged and supplanted by the truths of another. And so Father Zakaria Botros has been fighting fire with fire.

Huge Islamist Rally for a New ‘Caliphate’ (MRC.org - Weekly Slant Newsletter) If you think the mainstream media really runs “all the news…” think again. On CNSNews, MRC’s exclusive worldwide news service, writer Patrick Goodenough raises the specter of resurgent militant Islam ignored by the mainstream liberal media. In 'Biggest Ever' Rally Calls for Revival of Islamic Caliphate Goodenough reported that the masses of Islamists are demanding a new “caliphate,” a single world-wide Islamic state. “Video footage posted on the group's Websites,” wrote Goodenough, “showed tens of thousands of people, men and women seated apart in the stadium in Jakarta, waving black and white flags and shouting ‘Allah is greater.’” ..."Like al-Qaeda, it [Hizb ut-Tahrir] advocates an Islamic Caliphate in which [Islamic law] will be supreme, but says it wants to achieve it through peaceful mass agitations and not by resort to terrorism or other acts of armed violence," according to South Asian political and security analyst Bahukutumbi Raman. "What the al-Qaeda seeks to propagate through jihadi terrorism, it propagates through political means."
What Israel and the western world is facing. How many realize this truth? How many are prepared?
Martyrdom is considered a weapon from Allah and is considered the highest glory that one can attain.
Radical Islam teaches that martyrdom is the quickest way to Allah and what is not permissible on earth is awaiting them in heaven. A martyr is taught to believe that martyrdom cleanses them from all their sins and guarantees them paradise.
If a Muslim women commits adultery or is raped she is considered used property and has soiled the honor of the family so she may be offered to become a martyr to cleanse the honor of you and your family. Or since the woman's two purposes in life are to bear children and to please her man, she may be asked by her husband to become a suicide martyr.
Children are taught killing Jews and "infidels" from birth is lessons. songs, stories, cartoons, and more. By age 16 they are considered ready.
Just like in Nazi Germany in the 1930's, the radical extremists are in control of the schools and media and are brainwashing Muslims and their children with little or no resistance. The primary tool is fear.
Hannity's America (FOXNEWS) revealed in a program that aired in England, that Jihad is being preached in "moderate Muslim" Mosques, on DVD's, in prisons and clubs, and more: A Muslim preacher was quoted as saying: "We have to live like a state within a state until you take over." and "Jihad is the way of Allah." If we take the Caliphate lightly, will it be at our own peril?
"To die for an idea: it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true." H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) American Journalist, Editor, Essayist, Linguist, Lexicographer, and Critic http://liberty-tree.ca/qb/H..L..Mencken.Quote.1E17
"Now is the time for the Caliphate to rule the world"
This Muslim chant is NOW occurring throughout the world. A caliphate is the Islamic call demanding that a supreme religious (Islamic) leader rule the world. The result will be EXACTLY what James Madison warned and worse, torture and death for ANYONE who DOES NOT embrace this theocracy.
America's First Amendment is being used to create a Terrorist Bill of Rights and Muslim clerics are preaching Jihad to America's youth while their families and friends watch TV and appear to be oblivious to this infiltration which will destroy America and their comfortable way of life. Politicians appear to be complacent and willing to compromise American security and safety as they coddle the main stream media by being "politically correct."
"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom...crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" Samuel Adams
“For too long, the world was paralyzed by the argument that terrorism could not be stopped until the grievances of terrorists were addressed. The complicated and heartrending issues that perplex mankind are no excuse for violent, inhumane attacks, nor do they excuse not taking aggressive action against those who deliberately slaughter innocent people... Effective antiterrorist action has also been thwarted by the claim that... ‘One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.’ That’s a catchy phrase, but also misleading. Freedom fighters do not need to terrorize a population into submission. Freedom fighters target the military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial regimes in power. Freedom fighters struggle to liberate their citizens from oppression and to establish a form of government that reflects the will of the people... [O]ne has to be blind, ignorant, or simply unwilling to see the truth if he or she is unable to distinguish between those I just described and terrorists. Terrorists intentionally kill or maim unarmed civilians, often women and children, often third parties who are not in any way part of a dictatorial regime. Terrorists are always the enemies of democracy.” Ronald Reagan
What about Mohammed? The following is our interpretation of the life and history of Mohammed and the foundation of the Islamic faith, this has not been done arbitrarily or with malice or the intent to deceive. It has been done through critical and comparative scholastic analysis.
MEDIA ADVISORY, March 29 Christian Newswire -- “Why do Muslims call for the death sentence of Muslims who convert to Christianity? Because Mohammed said: ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.’ If we would understand Islam, we must study the life of Mohammed. Until we study Mohammed, we will wander in a desert of ignorance and confusion. "Understanding the life of Mohammed – not merely reading the Koran -- is the most important key to understanding the entire Islamic world; and it is precisely this key that has been entirely missed or ignored by the Western world. "The Shari’a is Islamic law. Islamic law touches on virtually every aspect of religious, political, criminal, military, familial and social life. Broadly speaking, the Shari’a is the sum total of the Koran, the Hadith and the Sunna. To develop Islamic Law, ancient Islamic scholars took the Koran -- together with the sayings and deeds (the Hadith and the Sunna) of Mohammed; they then created a fairly airtight system of Islamic law that has existed for over 1000 years. For example -- the Saudi Arabian Constitution actually says: “Government in Saudi Arabia derives power from the Holy Koran and the Prophet's tradition.” (Article 7, Constitution of Saudi Arabia) Other Islamic nations have similar declarations in their Constitutions. “Islamic prisons and shallow graves are littered with ex-Muslims who dared to leave ‘the peaceful religion of Islam.’” Randall A. Terry, President, Society for Truth and Justice
Note to journalists, TV and radio producers, editors, webmasters and bloggers: At www.earnedmedia.org/wwmd.htm there are several quotes from Mohammed and the Shari’a (Islamic Law) calling for the death of Muslims who leave Islam. As you will see, this treatment of “Muslim Apostates” is part of the very fiber of Islam. Available at www. earnedmedia.org/wwmd.htm is short article can serve as the foundation for an interview; it can be reprinted in its entirety on the web or in print version; it may be quoted for use in other articles. Obviously, the quotes from Mohammed are there to be read and used by all in any manner they see fit. Randall Terry is available for interview to discuss his research on the Muslim Prophet, Mohammed. He has done scores of live radio interviews, television interviews, and print interviews on Islam.
Teaching Hatred? (Family Research Council Washington Update May 24, 2006) Human rights champion Nina Shea has issued a report on Saudi textbooks that teach hatred of Christians, Jews, and in fact, of other Muslims. The books denounce any who do not follow the Saudi regime's severe Wahhabi form of Islam. Saudis have vast influence in the Muslim world--because of their oil wealth and because Saudi kings are said to be "Custodians of the Holy Places of Islam." Nina Shea's organization, Freedom House, conducted the study. It was based on textbooks spirited out of that repressive country. One chilling line should be read and re-read by everyone in the Bush administration: "It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in God and his prophet..." In other words, Saudi children are taught from fifth grade not to trust, align or support the Americans, the British, or even neighboring Iraqi Muslims who are fighting the war on terror. The Saudi Ambassador to the United States soothingly assures us that all this is changing, that Saudi textbooks are being "revised." Nina Shea has proved this is false. U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently rejected Christian parents' protests against student "role playing" activities. A California elementary school taught students to fight a "jihad" against Christian crusaders and "praise Allah" for their victories. The Ninth Circus approved such activities, affirming a lower court ruling that said they did not constitute an establishment of religion. It's a bizarre time to be in grade school in the Golden State.
What follows depicts exactly what "infidels" are facing, and will continue to face, until either the Muslim world decides it can live with and tolerate other faiths, or until the end of the world, because the Judeo-Christians will forever remain tolerant of other faiths, unlike Islamic radical terrorists, who are bent on killing any and all infidels, even women and children, in the name of their unholy destructive tyrannical "hijacked religion."
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July 26 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Muslim Mob at University Missions Week On Monday, 18 July, American missionary, Timothy Keller, was surrounded by a mob of Muslim students at the University of Pretoria threatening him and demanding that the his missions display be removed. Tim had been officially invited by the University Missions Committee to take part in their "Go Love the Nations" Missions Week 2005. Within two hours of setting up the Frontline Fellowship missions display, Timothy began to receive hostile reactions from Muslim students, some of whom swore and cursed him, and threatened his life. Soon a mob of fifteen to twenty Muslim students were surrounding the mission display shouting and swearing at Tim. Some tore up or burned the missions literature. A Muslim member of the Student Representative Council then fetched the Dean of students to inform Tim that he had to dismantle the Frontline mission display. That afternoon, Tim was informed by the TUKS Missions Committee that they could not allow the mission display to be set up again. It was mentioned that the Frontline Fellowship newsletters, in what it reported on the activities and teachings of Muslims, were too offensive to Muslim students. (ETH comment: But the intolerance of those same Muslim students were not "too offensive" too Judeo-Christians? Double-standard? The world according to these Muslims "students" and no one else deserves to exist?)
In the name of Allah,
Islamic radicals, seemingly driven by sex and hatred, believe if they are
martyred, they will immediately have seven virgins waiting for them when if they
kill themselves and "infidels" in the name of Allah. Now compare this with the
martyrs of Christianity who are killed, versus committing suicide, for serving
their Christ and loving their neighbor. See

Terrorism's root causes - July 11,2005 - "It matters little that 'the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not terrorists,' to quote a familiar Western mantra. It matters a great deal that most terrorists are Muslims. The sooner Western leaders and Western media begin stating what is obvious to most people, the quicker the real root cause can be dealt with." Cal Thomas
The Muslim groups who wouldn't attend the March Against Terror by Joel Mowbray (6/1/2005) In the first of its kind for an event organized by a major national Muslim organization, Kamal Nawash and the Free Muslims Coalition (FMC) recently held the Free Muslims March Against Terrorism.
Democracy shuts its eyes as Muslim women are enslaved by Armstrong Williams (5/23/2005) Throughout Europe, people are standing idly by as Muslim women are being murdered for having the audacity to date, or to not wear their head scarves outside, or to yearn for a life outside of the home. The problem is most pronounced in Germany. Last month six German women were murdered by their Muslim families for flirting with Western culture.
"For the holy war [jihad] there's no difference between men and women [martyrs]. According to the Koran, male martyrs are welcomed to Paradise by 72 beautiful virgins. ...[A] woman martyr will be the chief of the 72 virgins, the fairest of the fair." --London's Telegraph quoting a 20-year-old would-be Palestinian suicide bomber, now residing in an Israeli prison **"That is to say, the highest aspiration for a fundamentalist Palestinian girl is murder, suicide and prostitution. Has there ever been a more depraved culture?" James Taranto
The Federalist 05-28 Digest - Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker and columnist who frequently criticized Islam, was brutally murdered in full view of more than 50 witnesses while he was cycling to work in November last year. Dutch-Moroccan national Mohammed Bouyeri, the Jihadi who shot van Gogh 15 times, stabbed him, slit his throat, then pinned a note to his body with the knife, has confessed to a Dutch court that he acted on his religious beliefs. He added that he would do "exactly the same" if he were ever set free. To van Gogh's mother he said, "I cannot feel for you ... because I believe you are an infidel." In the enlightened , the most he can receive is life in prison without parole. This Jihadi admits that his actions had nothing to do wNetherlandsith the U.S. being in Iraq and Afghanistan, or "torture" of prisoners by the U.S. military, or the Israelis simply being alive, or unemployment and hopelessness (blamed for the London bombings), or any other such nonsense being advanced by those who would give a pass to terrorism. Likewise, commenting on the attacks in London, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iraq and other actions taken by the U.S. and Britain are the consequences of terrorism, not the cause, noting terrorist attacks pre-9/11 and even pre-1948 when Israel was created. To blame us, he added, is "reverse causality."
Family Research Council - The Washington Times today quoted an unnamed investigator as saying that there is symbolic significance in the fact that the bombers attempted to travel from a central location in the four different directions of the compass. "We think it was intended as an al Qaeda message--to seemingly blow up in the form [of] a fiery cross in the heart of the Christian infidels." The name of the station where the killers parted ways was "King's Cross." The story also noted that during publicity over alleged American abuse of the Koran, a group of protesting Muslims had burned a cross in front of the U.S. Embassy in London--an incident little reported or protested in this country. A combination of secular blindness and political correctness continues to prevent many people from seeing or stating the obvious--these terrorist bombings, like those on September 11, did not happen because of poverty, high debt burdens, or other economic reasons. They happened because the practitioners of a particular radical form of Islam believe that their religion not only allows but encourages them to murder those who don't share their faith especially Christians and Jews.
The Religion of Peace lists the nation, city, number injured, number killed and how the attack was carried out, such as suicide bomb, mass shooting, etc. Individual acid attacks against "immodest" women, rapes of Christian, Buddhist and Hindu women, along with state sponsored massacres in the Sudan are not listed. The site details every Islamist attack on civilization since the 9-11 Jihad attack against America.
"If Muslims embrace the Quran as their holy book, then it is the ultimate tool to reach them and at least to provoke them to question what is written in their own book of the law. The Quran makes references to the Bible. The Bible never refers to the Quran for truth or authenticity. I use their own book of precepts to validate the authenticity of Christ," Patricia Bailey, who has ministered in many Arabic nations, told "Charisma" magazine in the January issue, out now. The full report on evangelists using the Quran as a tool to preach Jesus can be found in the magazine.
In comparison to Christianity and the teachings of Christ: Muslim Convert Killed In Holy Land - The body of a Muslim convert to Christianity who went missing in mid-July, has been returned to his family, slaughtered and cut into four pieces by Islamic extremists, according to a report from the Barnabas Fund which monitored the incident. According to shari’a (Islamic law) any Muslim male who leaves Islam (apostasies) faces the death penalty. Full Story: http://www.mcjonline.com/news/03a/20030815e.shtml - Do you have ears to hear what might be the Islamic intensions for America?
The latest study, Freedom in the World 2001-2002, highlighted the substantial democracy deficit in the Islamic world, especially in its Arabic core. According to the survey: While 121 of the world’s 192 countries are electoral democracies, only 11 of the 47 nations (23 percent) with an Islamic majority have democratically elected governments. By contrast, the non-Islamic world, which consists of 145 states, 110 are electoral democracies (75 percent). None of the 16 Arab states of the Middle East and North Africa is a democracy. There exists a dramatic freedom deficit between majority Islamic countries and the rest of the world. Of the states with an Islamic majority, only one, Mali, is rated Free. Eighteen are rated Partly Free, and 28 are considered Not Free. By contrast, in the non-Islamic world, 84 countries are Free, 41 are Partly Free, and 20 are Not Free. The gap in freedom has only widened over the last 20 years. While every other region of the world has registered significant gains for democracy and freedom, the countries of the Islamic world have experienced a significant increase in repression. The analysis, however, does not imply an inherent incompatibility between the Islamic world and democratic values. Democratically constituted governments, such as those in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey, govern countries with large Muslim populations. Indeed, the majority of the world's Muslims live in electoral democracies. Freedom HouseMuslim authorities and fundamentalist extremists in several Islamic nations are coming down hard on Christians caught sharing their faith with Muslims. Associated Press reports that police in Saudi Arabia recently raided an underground church in suburban Riyadh and arrested 40 foreigners, including some children, for proselytizing. It is illegal in modern Saudi Arabia to promote any religion other than Islam, and organized churches are illegal. Adherents of non-Islamic faiths there are generally allowed to practice their beliefs in private homes but may not proselytize or meet for organized worship or other religious observances. Those arrested could face prison or possible deportation. And in Malaysia, another Islamic nation that forbids proselytizing of Muslims, police have detained two U.S. citizens who allegedly were handing out Christian pamphlets near a mosque. A Malay official says the American men were taken into custody on charges of "disturbing the peace in a religious manner," and the police have a court order permitting them to hold the two men for up to two weeks "for questioning." And while official retaliation for proselytizing can be harsh, the response from Muslim radicals in Islamic-dominated regions often proves lethal. AsiaNews.it has confirmed reports that a Christian minister and evangelist was found beheaded in Jalalpur, a village in south-western Bangladesh on March 8. The authorities believe the 35-year-old Baptist pastor from the Bangladesh Free Baptist Church was killed by Muslim extremists who had threatened his family after he discussed his faith with some Muslim villagers.

Wake-up call for my fellow Muslims by Kamal Nawash (3/1/2005) Muslim-bashing. That’s the accusation many of my fellow Muslims now hurl at the various news outlets for their news stories about a Freedom House investigation that found extremist Islamic literature in some leading American mosques.
Random thoughts by Thomas Sowell (12/6/2004) Random thoughts on the passing scene: (excerpt) Fears that the Iraq war would be seen in the Middle East as a clash between Islam and the West are being blunted to some extent by the actions of the terrorists themselves, who are killing far more Moslems than they are killing Americans or other members of the military coalition.
"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims." --Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, general manager of Al-Arabiya news channel, responding to recent Islamist terrorism in Russia, Iraq and across the Middle East
Mutilations and Muslim law by Jeff Jacoby (6/14/2004) "A recent fatwa posted on a popular Islamic website in Saudi Arabia," reports Neil McFarquhar in The New York Times, "explains when a Muslim may mutilate the corpse of an infidel." The ruling by Sheik Omar Abdullah Hassan al-Shehabi specifies two circumstances in which the desecration of an infidel -- i.e., a non-Muslim -- is permitted. One is retaliation -- "when the enemy is disfiguring Muslim corpses or when it otherwise serves the Islamic nation." The other is when mutilation will "terrorize the enemy" or "gladden the heart of a Muslim warrior."
The Sword Of The Prophet (Islam) Serge Trifkovic - The shocking facts about its founder, Mohammed; its rise through bloody conquest; its sanctioning of theft, deceit, lust and murder; its persecutions of Christians, Jews, Hindus and other "infidels"; its cruel mistreatment of women; the colossal myth of its cultural "golden age"; its irreformable commitment to global conquest by any means necessary; the broad sweep of the military, political, moral, and spiritual struggle that faces us; and what we must do if we wish to survive.
God and Allah Are Not the Same, Judge Told Patrick Goodenough Pacific Rim Bureau Chief Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - God and Allah are not the same, an Australian pastor has told a tribunal where he faces complaints of vilifying Islam. Pastor Daniel Scot, a scholar in Islam who fled his native Pakistan 17 years ago amid threats of retribution for "blasphemy," said that his studying of the Bible and the Quran led him to the conclusion that the God of the Bible and Allah of the Quran were different in practice, behavior and other attributes.
Onward Muslim Soldiers How Jihad still threatens America and the West. An author and expert on Islam says Americans need to understand that terrorism is not an Arab or racial problem, but an Islamic, 'ideological' problem. "Onward Muslim Soldiers How Jihad still threatens America and the West." Robert Spencer, using Islamic sources, past and contemporary, makes the case that the call for jihad against Christians, the West and Jews springs from the dictates of the religion of Islam. The Koran, requires all Muslims to give non-Muslims three choices: conversion, submission with second-class status under Islamic law, or death. "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free . . . (Sura 9:5)." More details: http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/10/92003g.asp

"Let us look at American policies. America conducted three wars in the 1990s. The Gulf War saved the Kuwaiti people from Saddam. American intervention in the Balkans saved Bosnia. And then we saved Kosovo from Serbia. What do these three military campaigns have in common? In every one we saved a Muslim people." --Charles Krauthammer

The
following are excerpts taken from an interview by Wlodzimierz Redzioch of The
Sunday Catholic Weekly of Giorgio Paolucci, editor-in-chief of the Catholic
Italian daily 'Avvenire' and the co-author of the book I cristiani venuti
dall'Islam (Christians Coming From Islam) written together with the Lebanese
journalist Camille Eid. Of his book, Paolucci says it is an attempt to show "the
tip of the iceberg" concerning the "phenomenon" of Islamic conversions to
Christianity, which is "not marginal at all."

GIORGIO PAOLUCCI: Due to migration, followers of Islam live among us. Thus Islam is in Europe, with its complexity, including the big problem of religious freedom that has not been solved by Islamic countries and secular Muslim communities dispersed all over the world. Our book deals with theological and legal aspects of apostasy, and the penalty for it. We have also showed stories of converts in order to understand how people can be fascinated with Christianity, at risk of being threatened, persecuted or facing difficulties. Within two years of work, overcoming the opposition and fears of many people, we managed to collect testimonies of 30 ex-Muslims who converted to Christianity and today they are living as Christians in Italy.
WLODZIMIERZ REDZIOCH: Why do Muslims convert to Christianity?
GIORGIO PAOLUCCI: Everyone asks questions about the sense of life, happiness, love, friendship, and life after death. The people we met did not often find satisfying answers to these questions in the Koran and in their Muslim upbringing but they encountered fascinating testimonies of Christians, their friends, colleagues, neighbors, teachers who showed them that there was a more convincing answer. This answer is not the Koran but Christianity. So Jesus Christ crowned their search and human desires.
WLODZIMIERZ REDZIOCH: What conclusions did you reach on the basis of your survey concerning Christian converts from Islam?
GIORGIO PAOLUCCI: Our book makes three challenges: challenge to Islam so that it grants their believers freedom of religion; challenge to the state authorities of the West that guarantee this freedom; challenge to lukewarm Christians so that they know that meeting Christ means a true 'revolution' of life. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18, states that religious freedom is the foundation of every civil society. That's why Muslim communities in the West have the right to demand protection of their religious rights but they should also permit people to change their religion. Every government must ensure that the right to freedom of religion is obeyed. It cannot be accepted that a Muslim who has chosen Christianity must hide his new religion and e.g. go to church situated several dozen kilometers away from his home so as not to be persecuted by his local Islamic community. Muslim converts are also a great challenge for the Church because they are elements of 'the spring' of Christianity in the times where in many countries it has stopped being 'the agent' of existence and has become only 'a decoration'. Meeting these new Christians, coming from Islam, we were impressed by their enthusiasm and courage. 'You do not realize what treasure you have... Jesus Christ has revolutionized our lives' a certain Algerian told us. 'You possess a closed jewel case in which you have a treasure. We come to your churches and cannot see this treasure; we come to your country and see a closed case. You should keep it open because it contains treasures for all people. You are shy and ashamed of Jesus instead of promoting Jesus to immigrants'. We saw extremely living faith in those converts and that makes us aware that Christ has brought about a real revolution in the world.
