RACIST REV ROW

A DRIVER spent two nights in jail after being accused of "revving his car in a racist manner".

Mechanic Ronnie Hutton, 49, yesterday described his court ordeal which finally ended when prosecutors dropped the allegation of racism.

But he was still convicted of a breach of the peace for revving the engine of his £25,000 Lotus.

Witnesses claimed he had been trying to intimidate a Libyan couple on the pavement. Ronnie, of Stirling, claims he was only revving the powerful V8 engine to avoid another £15,000 repair bill.

But off-duty Chief Inspector Eoin Jenkins thought he was targeting Muslim Isam Maigel and his wife Hana Saad.
And when Jenkins, now retired, confronted Ronnie he was told to "f*** off".

On Thursday, at Stirling Sheriff court, the Crown ditched the racist part of the charge but Sheriff Andrew Cubie convicted Ronnie of breach of the peace and fined him £150.

Last night, he said: "To be convicted for revving my car in a busy street is hard to take. Does this mean anyone driving a noisy car in Scotland is now a criminal?"

Following the row last September, police officers arrived at Ronnie's home and asked him to come with them to talk about the incident. He ended up being kept in a cell for two nights before being taken to court where he was released without charge.

He complained to the fiscal and the new charges surfaced months later. He said: "The police kept me in custody over the weekend because I made the mistake of swearing at a senior officer."

In court, Mr Maigel, 28, then a student at Stirling Uni, said: "The driver came alongside and was trying to annoy us by revving his engine very, very loudly."

Using an interpreter, Hana Saad, 23, said he had degraded them "maybe because we are Muslim". ( When have Muslims become a Race of people? )

Ronnie claims he was only trying to prevent the repeat of a engine problem had had suffered earlier with the Esprit.

He said: "I've had problems with the Lotus since I bought it. I paid £15,000 for a new engine in 2003.

"As soon as I started the car the oil pressure light wouldn't go out. I accept I revved the engine - it's a V8 twin turbo and is noisy and frightening.

"I would openly apologise to this couple. I am not a racist."
He is now considering an appeal against his conviction - and also plans to sell the Lotus. He said: "It has been nothing but trouble."

AFGHAN: WOMEN’S AFFAIRS LEADER SLAIN

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

According to the Islamic mindset in Afghanistan, women are not worth much, if anything. Therefore, when they start to advance toward human rights, Muslim males see that females retreat.

Muslim women must be garbed thoroughly, cannot leave the home without male permission, cannot pursue education or vocation, are beaten mercilessly for no good reason, have their necks slit or a bullet to the head if bringing dishonor on the clan, and would be better off never having been conceived.

When the Afghan Women’s Affairs Department was created to mold a democracy, Muslim males bristled. The bristle came to a close for Safia Amajan, a champion of women’s rights. A Muslim male whisked by her on a motorcycle. Before she knew it, a bullet shot through her flesh. She was slain in the man’s attempt to slay women’s rights.

She had asked the government to provide her with police protection, but that was never granted. She hoped for personal bodyguards but they never were assigned her, per BBC and UPI.

Amajan had been working since 2001 on behalf of women’s liberation from male cruelty. However, while walking away from her front door, she was murdered at short range.

And this is the monotheistic Islam that former Pope John Paul said Christians could work alongside of? This is the Islam representing the "religion of peace"? This is the Muslim grassroots workout of Ramadan prayers now taking place from September 23 through October 24?

What happened to Safia is the true Islam, not the propaganda spouted by 4000 Muslim sites worldwide, many in the USA. The true Islam has no margin for women other than using them for shooting targets or hanging them from poles. Any surface study of societal life in Iran reveals women buried in earth up to their breasts, their heads crashed in with rocks, the size prescribed by the Koran. Roadside poles sport black garbed, hooded females hung from ropes tied at the poles’ tops.

Islam is a male dominated cult, not a world religion among religions. No other "faith" demands the non-devotees be slain. Islam does demand just that in order to establish Islam World Rule.

Muslim women globally who take their chances in seeking liberation are doing just that — taking their bloody chances.
The fanatic mindset is the same with Muslim males in free countries. These males still believe they can rape "harlot" non-Muslim females because they are not thoroughly garbed. These males still believe they can have sex with any Muslim female as long the males "marry" them for ten minutes each; that permits male sex with a prostitute without calling her a prostitute and without committing sin.


Muslim males believe they can have other females stationed throughout the neighborhood, such females living with their parents and receiving no money from their male masters. They exist to provide sex upon demand for the male masters.

Non-Muslims must not be fooled into believing anything other than the fundamentalist Islamic lifestyle which is demanded of all Islamics via the Koran.

Those who compromise the Koran are in grave danger of being slain just as Safia was shot.

POPE JOHN PAUL FOOLED BY MUSLIMS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

The previous Pope waffled, which is at times typical of Roman Catholic dialogue when dealing with complicated issues. However, making peace at any price is not what pleases the God of the Bible.

The Pope pointed out in his statement below some facts about Islam’s horrific
presence.

Yet the Pope also encouraged Christians to share camaraderie with Muslims as if Christians and Muslims have a common base. Yet they don’t have a common base. In other words, one cannot have it both ways, though the previous Pope would like to state such.

This kind of compromise is always damaging to the biblical record.
God has stated in His divine revelation that mortals dare not tamper with the Bible — not adding to or taking away from it. However, when the Pope compromises his "Crossing the Threshold of Hope" in order to accommodate Islam, the Pope is playing with the Bible’s pages. It is a dangerous play. In fact, one dare not "play" with the divine record.


Read the following and permit yourself to be exceptionally irritated, that is, if you are knowledgeable concerning biblical truth and have convictions in accordance with that truth:

Pope John Paul stated the following in "Crossing the Threshold of Hope" as provided the web site SpiritDaily.com:
Muhammad?

A very different discussion, obviously, is the one that leads us to the synagogues and mosques, where those who worship the One God assemble.

Yes, certainly it is a different case when we come to these great monotheistic religions, beginning with Islam. In the Declaration Nostra Aetate we read: "The Church also has a high regard for the Muslims, who worship one God, living and subsistent, merciful and omnipotent, the Creator of heaven and earth" (Nostra Aetate 3). As a result of their monotheism, believers in Allah are particularly close to us.

I remember an event from my youth. In the convent of the Church of Saint Mark in Florence, we were looking at the frescoes by Fra Angelico. At a certain point a man joined us who, after sharing his admiration for the work of this great religious artist, immediately added: "But nothing can compare to our magnificent Muslim monotheism."

His statement did not prevent us from continuing the visit and the conversation in a friendly tone. It was on that occasion that I got a kind of first taste of the dialogue between Christianity and Islam, which we have tried to develop systematically in the post-conciliar period.

Whoever knows the Old and New Testaments, and then reads the Koran, clearly sees the process by which it completely reduces Divine Revelation. It is impossible not to note the movement away from what God said about Himself, first in the Old Testament through the Prophets, and then finally in the New Testament through His Son. In Islam all the richness of God's self-revelation, which constitutes the heritage of the Old and New Testaments, has definitely been set aside.

Some the of most beautiful names in the human language are given to the God of the Koran, but He is ultimately a God outside of the world, a God Who is only Majesty, never Emmanuel, God-with-us. Islam is not a religion of redemption.

There is no room for the Cross and the Resurrection. Jesus is mentioned, but only as a prophet who prepares for the last prophet, Muhammad. There is also mention of Mary, His Virgin Mother, but the tragedy of redemption is completely absent. For this reason not only the theology but also the anthropology of Islam is very distant from Christianity.

Nevertheless, the religiosity of Muslims deserves respect.

It is impossible not to admire, for example, their fidelity to prayer. The image of believers in Allah who, without caring about time or place, fall to their knees and immerse themselves in prayer remains a model for all those who invoke the true

God, in particular for those Christians who, having deserted their magnificent cathedrals, pray only a little or not at all.

The Council has also called for the Church to have a dialogue with followers of the "Prophet," and the Church has proceeded to do so. We read in Nostra Aetate: "Even if over the course of centuries Christians and Muslims have had more than a few dissensions and quarrels, this sacred Council now urges all to forget the past and to work toward mutual understanding as well as toward the preservation and promotion of social justice, moral welfare, peace, and freedom for the benefit of all mankind" (Nostra Aetate3).

From this point of view, as I have already mentioned, the meetings for prayer held at Assisi (especially that for peace in Bosnia, in 1993), certainly played a significant role. Also worthwhile were my meetings with the followers of Islam during my numerous apostolic trips to Africa and Asia, where sometimes, in a given country, the majority of the citizens were Muslims. Despite this, the Pope was welcomed with great hospitality and was listened to with similar graciousness.

The trip I made to Morocco at the invitation of King Hassan II can certainly be defined as a historic event. It was not simply a courtesy visit, but an event of a truly pastoral nature. The encounter with the young people at Casablanca Stadium (1985) was unforgettable. The openness of the young people to the Pope's words was striking when he spoke of faith in the one God. It was certainly an unprecedented event.

Nevertheless, concrete difficulties are not lacking. In countries where fundamentalist movements come to power, human rights and the principle of religious freedom are unfortunately interpreted in a very one-sided way -- religious freedom comes to mean freedom to impose on all citizens the "true religion."

In these countries the situation of Christians is sometimes terribly disturbing. Fundamentalist attitudes of this nature make reciprocal contacts very difficult.
All the same, the Church remains always open to dialogue and cooperation.

US: MUSLIMS POLITICALLY ACTIVE

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Muslims are setting up information centers to get their own into American politics. There are the issues, the political positions and the influencing one power structure or another.

In other words, the Muslim impress is very much here in the United States — politically.

According to Reuters’ Ed Stoddard, Muslims have set up their connections with those of like cult close to mosques throughout the nation.

Bottom line: Muslims are wedded to the Koran. Moderate Muslims? Where are they? I got an email today in which a Muslim championed moderate Muslim existence by pointing to some good-heart work related to hurricane relief. That may be so. But what about the horrific daily Muslim carnage throughout the globe?

There should be a cry around the planet that can be heard on Mars if there is genuinely a significant moderate Muslim population. As far as the non-Muslims can understand, there really isn’t.

A friend living in Turkey told me that his Muslim friends were nice to him, a non-Muslim. But when Muslim carnage was brought up in conversation, not a word of discipline toward Muslims killing infidels. Not a word from the Muslims. Once again: that awesome, frightening silence.

Until moderate Muslims so-called harness every mosque, every cleric, every Muslim web site, every murdering zealot, every hate-filled Muslim parent teaching the children how to lay low Jews in particular, I will still believe that basically there are enough moderate Muslims to fill the proverbial thimble.

In the meantime, I shudder to think of Muslims taking on the political freedoms of America with the Islamic cult imbedded in their lifestyles. That includes the sharia, the so-called “legal system” supported by Koran which proclaims such devilment as lashing youths to public poles, hanging shrouded women from telephone poles, burying the accused in earth up to the neck for stoning the head till dead and murdering females who bring “dishonor” on the clan.

Only in Islam can such barbarism be tolerated and practiced in such nations as Iran. What Muslims with that kind of brainwashing do in selecting their political priorities for the American’s Judeo-Christian heritage culture? We have a democracy basically because of the Judeo-Christian heritage. Its moral system has rightly influenced much of our thinking and practice.

There is no way that the Judeo-Christian heritage can be placed alongside Islamic cultic theology, though Pope Benedict XVI seems to think so with his recent bowing to Allah, the Koran and Mohammed, even calling on divine blessings upon those “celebrating” Ramadan. (Every day during the month-long Ramadan, the killing and maiming verses of the Koran are taught those in the mosques.

That is indoctrination for killing off the rest of us. A divine blessing upon those gathered to hear once again how to murder the infidels? I don’t think so. Obviously the pope needs to return to seminary studies of world cults.)


Muslims are setting up their political influence where there are “close contests” between those who are pro-Muslim and those who are not.
“’We have set up booths in 150 mosques across the country in the past two weeks,’ said Mukit Hossain, a political consultant to the Muslim American Society which is behind the drive.

“The booths have a computer monitor with a link to a Web site http://www.masvip.org/ to enable Muslims to register on line during Friday prayers.

“Hossain said about 10,000 were estimated to have been registered to date but he expected ‘tens of thousands’ more to be signed up before crucial midterm elections on November 7 that will decide which party controls Congress during President George W. Bush’s final two years in office.

“Those numbers are small compared to estimates of over 2 million registered Muslim voters nationwide but the drive is targeting areas where a few voters can determine the outcome.”

“’We have looked and said do we have enough Muslims to impact this race? And secondly what are the issues, how important are they for the Muslim community and where do the candidates stand?,’ Hossain said.”

So what will this finally mean to the furtherance of our republic? While Americans shop the malls, Muslims plot the establishment of Islam World Rule.

Islam World Rule includes the United States of America.

ZAWAHIRI TO POPE: NO TRINITY, NO CRUCIFIXION

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri went to the core of the Christian faith when he attacked Pope Benedict XVI.

The Islamic zealot warned the world that Christians would be exterminated as Muslims would rule the globe, per a video released by the Washington-based SITE Institute via AP.

Stating that the pope attacked Islam, Zawahiri struck back by claiming that “’we will call upon him, and all of the Christians, to become Muslims who do not recognize the Trinity or the crucifixion.’”

That is exactly the plot of Satan. Satan, in wanting to usurp God’s throne, His place in eternity, and His almighty nature, would desire most to obliterate any faith in the triune godhead as well as the miracle of the resurrection of Christ.
The resurrection of Christ is the apex of all human events in planetary history. That is reason for Satan to want to erase it from all consciousness.

Further, for there to be a godhead consisting of a loving Father, sacrificing Son, and interceding Holy Spirit is abhorrent to Satan and his cohort fallen angels.
Therefore, for Satan to erase the awareness of the God of the Bible as well as the hope of life after death, Satan would have full sway to establish Islam World Rule with its creedal base of hate and kill, “death and destruction,” to use President Bush’s phrasing.

In his threat to undermine the Christian fundamentals, Zawahiri has wedded to the pope’s own backsliding in recent days. By the pope informing Muslims that he prays with them, believes they give allegiance to the same deity as do Christians, and wishes them divine blessings during Ramadan, Rome has become team member to the Islamic mouthpiece.

By committing sacrilege, the pope has succumbed to the Al Qaeda deputy, falling right into his hands, yielding to his grasp for world power. Instead of holding his biblical convictions ground for eternal truth, the pope exposed himself as being indeed far from infallible. But more — he showed himself to be utterly cowardly.
Would the first three centuries’ Christian martyrs have recanted as has the pope? No.


They were fed to lions, scalded in caldrons of hot oil, and cut in half in order to defend the Trinity and crucifixion miracle. So with the biblical martyrs of the Middle Ages. So with the present-tense martyrs in captive nations where persecution against believers is rampant.

All the while, the pope in his papal palace splendor, ensconced with servants and applause within the Vatican, kneels at Allah’s feet, kisses the Koran by regarding it as holy writ, and marries himself to a cult as a spiritual companion to Islam.

What the pope did is abominable, heretical, and shameful to every Christian everywhere. He has so disgraced his station that henceforth he can never redeem his status. His cowardice will be remembered till he dies.
Some wonder if he has already shown signs of being the False Prophet of Revelation 13:11-18, the devil-possessed religious leader who appears lamb-like but speaks of dragon’s doctrine. It could very well be that this latest move from the pope has provided knowledgeable Christians with the first signal that the End Times’ False Prophet has surfaced.

As the pope continues to address Muslims in audiences that he himself has requested, it will be predictable that he will continue to crucify Christ afresh. In doing so, there will be no doubt in biblical believers’ minds that he has surrendered his soul to the powers of darkness.

How interesting that Zawahiri the Muslim could in fact be the impetus by which to draw out the present pope as the renegade of the times.

RED CARPET NOT FOR IRAN

RED CARPET NOT FOR IRAN

"’This is going to remain as a shame on the United Nations for providing a red carpet welcome to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,’ said Alireza Jafarzadeh who heads the Washington-based Strategic Policy Consulting think tank and is credited with having aired Iranian military secrets in the past.

He was speaking from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near the UN," per AP.
It is true. Iranian thug President should not be accorded a speaking stand anywhere. He, fanatic Muslim, has publicly announced his intention of wiping out Israel.


He has informed the world that he will increase his nuclear power to carve out a burnt out crust on the Earth’s surface. That will then invite his adored messiah to return to the globe for Islam World Rule.

Iran already has Islam World Rule. How? Through fear. Iran has stated that it will subdue all democracies, thereby making Muslim cult the ruling power. This zealot makes no secret of his future plans and who is on his side. Day by day he meets with one despot or another in order to gang up on the freedom nations.
None of this is to be considered a hoax.


Iranian murderers and rapists now hold executive positions in the hellish theocracy. They are totally surrendered to the Koran’s Allah, the latter being none other than a demonic force rather than a god.

That qualifies Islam for cultic status rather than a religion among world religions.

"Protesters chanted, ‘Ahmadinejad is a terrorist,’ and some wore skeleton costumes and wielded skulls on sticks to symbolize what they said were the deaths of 120,000 political prisoners in Iran since 1979.

"Gabriel Buoc, a former judge from Sudan now living in Canada, hoisted a sign that said, ‘Stop Mullahs' nukes. U.N. Sanctions Now.’
"Buoc said he flew to New York to join the protest because Iran and Sudan are allies.

"’Iran has a totalitarian regime,’ he said. ‘And the regime at home is an ally of Iran. ... Both the United Nation and the United States should work for a regime change in Iran.’"

If biblical prophecies apply to today, then we are witnessing the atrocities that the world has never seen before. This is in fulfillment of Jesus’ predictions as outlined in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24. There Jesus enumerated the signs of the End Times, one of them including unbelievable occurrences such as the world communities will have never witnessed prior.

Surely the Iranian boasting to envelop the globe in flame is one of those outrageous threats that the liberty countries should take most seriously.

JERUSALEM POST : BUSH ‘RIGHT ON’ RE ‘EVIL’

JERUSALEM POST : BUSH ‘RIGHT ON’ RE ‘EVIL’

J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Editorialist for The Jerusalem Post and President of the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya Amnon Rubinstein stated: "People who aspire to blow up airplanes in the name of Islam are truly fascists, just as President Bush said.
"


Couth souls may shrink from such terms, but tragic experience proves the existence of unadulterated evil, as well as the dangers emanating from murderous regimes that seek to destroy civilization as we know it.

"Iranian society may be complex, but its regime, openly anti-Semitic in the Nazi tradition, seeking to ‘wipe Israel off the map,’ is evil and dangerous.

No amount of sophistication can conceal this fact of life and death.

"Hizbullah and Hamas, the two Iranian offshoots planted on Israel's fragile and vulnerable borders, are similarly evil in deed and intention; and North Korea is almost a caricature of evil. It is guilty of every conceivable crime against humanity, as well as of a few inconceivable ones, such as kidnapping Japanese civilians, and it threatens its neighbors with missiles."

Reviewing the editorial, I agree totally. And then I question why the thinking world shrinks from stark statements spelling truth. When US President George W. Bush speaks of "evil," does not the knowledgeable community realize that "evil" is real?

It is frightening when the world community becomes so prissy that it can’t handle words like "evil" and "satanic" and "hellish."

I find that there are some conservative sites that shrink from my stark truth statements and therefore don’t post those articles. I wonder why. I thought that at least "conservative" meant confronting real-life facts and regarding truth as the all in all.

Yet there are some cowardly — and there goes another stark truth term — webmasters who can’t stand the heat.

They are more interested in protecting their sites than boldly strutting center stage where the battle rages. What kind of site self-protection is commendable when it is the globe that needs protection by posting the truth — numerous articles laden with truth truth truth?

If there is any one thrust this planet needs in this dangerous time it is factual writing and naked truth-telling.

Waffling won’t stand up.

It’s the same with the US Congress. Too often those members have become so frightened about facts and truth that they have provided the US public with nothing to be proud of.

I feel that is so with the present Congress.

Surely the Red States thought there would be more courage and strength from Congress than what we have been offered. We have been fed a weak Congress, frightened to the nth degree, and at times an utter embarrassment.

Where are the clear-headed leaders? Where are the striking orators? Where are those who have the insight to speak forthrightly that which will grip us to the soul?

They are surely missing in Washington. That is, except for Mr. Bush. And it is Mr. Bush that this editorialist for the Jerusalem Post applauds.

"EXPERIENCE, especially the 20th-century kind, shows that it is easier for democracies to defend themselves against the dangers of evil regimes in the first stages of their flourishing. Nazi Germany nearly conquered the world (and without the intervention of those uncouth Americans might have succeeded) owing to the failure to nip its evil in the bud.

"In this respect the uncouth have it right. There are High Noon-type situations in international relations, ones in which civilized peoples must stand up and be counted, facing off against evil and menacing regimes.

"This is the case with Iran which, if not restrained, may come to dominate the Middle East and, through its oil-acquired riches and future nuclear prowess, mortally endanger the West."

Pope: BIBLICAL CHRISTIANS CANCEL


(Excerpt)

The state of today's global church is a disgrace. It has gone apostate in too many quarters.

It has relinquished its mission for playing religious games. It has muffled the biblical truth for fear of antagonizing. It has played coward in the face of other religions.To be a biblical Christian one is willing to live and die for the biblical mandate - to share the good news that Christ is the Savior of the world. For those who accept Him, there is personal forgiveness of sins and hope for eternal life.

For those who reject Him, there is the self-centered earthly lifestyle and despair in an eternal hell.

‘BLESSED MOTHER’ INCORRECT RE MUSLIMS

‘BLESSED MOTHER’ INCORRECT RE MUSLIMS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

The pope quoted the following: “‘Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.’”

This statement was made by a 14th-century Byzantine emperor named Manuel II Paleologus.

According to SpiritDaily.com, Muslims and Christians can unite as one religion. This is according to Mary’s appearance at Medjugorje.

That points out without doubt that what is attributed to Mary has to be bogus. Or it underlines that if Mary did in fact appear at Medjugorje, it’s not the Mary of the New Testament.

She would not contradict her own Son’s teaching that He is the only way to God the Father. Further He stated He is the Way, Truth and Life.

Throughout Jesus’ public ministry, He constantly referred to Himself as the only way of personal salvation. If there were other ways to deity, His sinless sacrificial death on the cross would not have been necessary.

In follow through to the Pope’s remarks about Islam that have resulted in Islamic mayhem worldwide, Spirit Daily.com states: “We are not to back down from the truth but we are to seek common ground and pray. Many are those who have noted the irony that Fatima in Portugal—one of Catholicism’s holiest places—was named after a princess who in turn was named after Mohammed’s daughter.

“Some see that as Heaven’s attempt at reconciling two religious systems that have been at odds for many centuries—although not in a way that would compromise Christianity. At Medjugorje, the Blessed Mother allegedly has referred to the reconciliation of the three chief religions there: Catholics, Orthodox, and Muslims, who have long been battling there.”

The above two sentences contradict the very “truth” this Catholic web site article attempts to defend.

If there is no compromising possible when speaking biblical truth, then there can be no meshing of Christianity with Islam. It’s either one or the other. Biblical truth cancels out any meshing with Islam. Biblical truth also without doubt underlines that Islam is a false religion. Its god is demonic.

Therefore, its so-called “holy writ” is demonic as are its mosques, clerics, and so forth.
SpiritDaily.com needs to take seriously its own quote from Muslims: “’We shall break the cross and spill the wine … God will (help) Muslims to conquer Rome … (May) God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen.’”

There is no appeasement with Islam. There is no logical dialogue with Muslims regarding biblical truth and their demonic teaching.
The editorial on the Catholic website is laden with twists and turns, all in an attempt to condone what the pope stated while at the same seeking to squelch Muslim fury.

By condoning what the pope said, the site still takes away the truth of his quoting another century’s fact statement about Islam. What the pope and any Catholic site should do is leave the truth as truth. That would mean keeping in place the quotation, calling it “truth,” and let the pope live with the consequences of quoting the truth.

Unfortunately, cowardice appears this weekend as a virtue from Rome.

It’s all quite sad.

ALLAH: “Fight, slay Unbelievers wherever ye find them.Seize them, beleaguer them, lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an, Sura 9:5

CHRIST: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

POPE EXECUTED?

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

When Muslims read their own Koran, they read countless verses espousing cutting off infidels’ heads, yanking out tongues, even the exact size of stones to be used to bash in a head of an accused adulteress who has been buried in a pile of dirt, and death to anyone who converts to another religion.

The Koran is replete with bloodletting passages, all regarded by Muslims as divine dictates. Therefore, if a Muslim reneges, he himself must be put to death by a loyal Islamic.

Now that the Pope has quoted truth about Islam by siting a 14th century fact-teller, Muslims state he has slammed their religion. What the Pope did was to quote truth about Islam, yet Muslims won’t admit that though it is in their own Koran.

Conclusion: Muslims contradict themselves by saying the Pope’s quote is wrong while at the same time carrying out that same “evil” via their daily carnage. That should inform the intelligent non-Muslim world that we have here not a religion but a killing cult.

Consequently, when the Vatican tries to dialogue with a cult, the Vatican, being a religiously trained entity, should know that the bottom line is unreal verbiage. In other words, no matter the cult label, reason never tops the agenda in any back-and-forth with the cult devotees.

What the Pope should do right now is say nothing more.
However, what he should have done was never renege.

That was a major error.

What he had quoted is truth, was truth, and forever will be truth regarding Islam.

He should have stood valiantly by the truth.

US MUSLIMS DATING?

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

“It is called the ‘matrimonial banquet.’

“’If we called it speed dating, it will end up with real dating,’ said Shamshad Hussain, one of the organizers, grimacing.

“Both the banquet earlier this month and various related seminars underscored the difficulty that some American Muslim families face in grappling with an issue on which many prefer not to assimilate.”

Dating American-fashion equals hellfire for Muslims. Yet they are surrounded in the United States with the custom of dating. What to do?

Now at a continent-wide conclave of Muslims, “dating” is changed to “matrimonial banquet.” Will that ease Muslim parents’ minds about their youth meeting one another?

One seminar was labeled “Dating,” per The New York Times’ Neil MacFarquhar. .
“The dating seminar burst out laughing when Imam Muhamed Magid of the Adams Center, a collective of seven mosques in Virginia, summed up the basic instructions that Muslim American parents give their adolescent children, particularly males: ‘Don’t talk to the Muslim girls, ever, but you are going to marry them. As for the non-Muslim girls, talk to them, but don’t ever bring one home.’

WHAT THE HECK IF MUSLIMS BLOW US UP?

WHAT THE HECK IF MUSLIMS BLOW US UP?


J. Grant Swank, Jr.
At times I wonder why I work so hard at posting the unpopular, frightening, biblical warnings of the End Times. Why bother?

If we are going to be blown to bits by the Muslims, why not go shopping or out to eat instead of sitting at this keyboard typing truth articles?

After all, it does not seem as if the Democrats truly care. They have no plan to combat the Muslims. They only know how to carp.

As for the political liberals of any party, they are so misty-eyed in denial that they never gain even the near-entrance to truth.

As for the preachers, they are so into protecting their constituents that they would not want to take up a Sunday sermon preaching biblical prophecies that should scare the hell out of their cozy believers.

As for the webmasters who refuse to post Muslim truth telling, who cares? They will no doubt be at the front of the line for their necks slit.

As for time-and-space itself, if the Islamic Iranian crazies are going to set loose the fireballs that bring back their messiah, they are going to set loose the fireballs that bring back their messiah.

And since I am a biblical Christian who holds to divine revelation as the eternal Truth, the latter incarnated in the Truth, Way and Life, I know my soul is prepared for the last Earth time flick. I don’t deserve heaven, that’s for sure. But

I’m going there because of divine grace set upon my poor, needy soul.

So what the heck. Let America be consumed with American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and whether Rosie takes over The View. Let the liberal newscasters still pull apart and twist and step on every conservative truth sentence spoken.

In these days of desperation when Isalmics don’t read nor hear free national leaders — intent are Muslims in slaughter and lay waste — it appears some sort of End is near.

Therefore, those webmasters who are cowardly and so won’t post the truth, coward on. And those political leaders who are more interested in their skins, skin on. And those preachers who are not worth their pulpits, pulpit on.
Judgment Day awaits us all.


Then it will be that Truth will have His day. May the souls who fought for Him have their place of grace still standing firm and justly proud.

WHY ARE US WEB SITES AFRAID TO POST MUSLIM TRUTH?

WHY ARE US WEB SITES AFRAID TO POST MUSLIM TRUTH?

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

“They (Muslim killers) want to impose their ideology throughout the Middle East. I take their words seriously. We must stay ahead of them as they try to attack us.”

For months now, there are certain conservative web sites that are backing off in telling the absolute truth about our Muslim-threatened world today.

That is unfortunate.

The more silence the more the enemy moves ahead to their own victory.I cannot understand how sites that are committed to the truth are now posting sideline issues as prime issues. But I am not a webmaster and therefore have no control over these sites’ timidity.

Yet, again, how terrible for freedom.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES: MUSLIMS FORCE BOYS INTO SEX, SLAVERY

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

They are as young as two years old.

They are kidnapped by Muslim rulers to become their slave boys. "Tens of thousands of young boys (have been forced) to work in brutal conditions as camel jockeys," per AKI.
These youngsters have been "stolen" from South Asia over the past thirty years plus. They are actually sold as produce, then made slaves for camel trainers for the UAE rich.

There is presently a lawsuit against these molesters. It is filed in a Miami court.
"It accuses Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the crown prince of Dubai, and his brother, Sheik Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum, the deputy ruler, of being ‘the most active participants’ in the slave trade for camel racing. "The suit calls it ‘one of the greatest humanitarian crimes of the last 50 years’ and says more than 30,000 boys could have been victimized," per the Miami Herald.

These children don’t stand a chance. They are grabbed, hauled off, then find themselves helpless against their masters. The ruthless captors include members of the royal families of the UAE. These wealthy, callused individuals own countless numbers of horses at farms in Ocala, Florida.

What these money-people do is compared to acts of piracy. Therefore, the lawsuit has been filed under an "alien tort law adopted in 1789" to confront those pirating human beings.
Not only are these young ones used as slaves but they are also exploited sexually. "The lawsuit claims some boys were sexually abused, given limited food and sleep, and injected with hormones to prevent their growth."’Sheikh Muhammad and Sheikh Hamdan treated their camels better than they treated their slave boys for the simple reason that the camels were far more valuable,’ the lawsuit said."


Camel racing is a popular sport in Gulf countries. In recent years authorities there have tightened restrictions and age limits on camel jockeys, promising to replace them with robots eventually."

So march Muslims in one more quest to subdue the innocent.

Help Israel: Fight terror television and media manipulation


Everyday we see terrorist propaganda masquerading as unbiased news on TV, radio, in print and on the Internet. This misinformation is part of a larger plan to eventually destroy Israel by first turning world opinion against it through the media.

The plan can work because research shows that the media are the most important sources of information that shape voters opinions on foreign affairs (see graph at right).

Al-Manar, Hezbollah’s Iran-sponsored TV station spends $15 million a year to spread hate and lies worldwide. Both Hezbollah and Hamas have slick PR experts working to manipulate reporters from around the world. In Lebanon, Hezbollah spun fake photos and staged media opportunities that were covered in major international media.

How can you be sure that TV and newspapers aren’t filled with lies about Israel? Sign up for our free newsletter to learn how The Israel Project (TIP) educates the media so they can accurately report on Israel.

Understand how we work with 6,000 journalists around the globe – informing them before they write their stories so they can get the Israel story right.

Hezbollah’s and Hamas’ multi-million dollar terror television and media efforts spin reporters, resulting in Middle East news coverage from the terrorists’ anti-Israel viewpoint.

Muslims Urged to Buy More Media Influence

At a conference in the apartheid theocracy of Saudi Arabia, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference called on rich Muslims to invest large amounts of money in Western media outlets, to skew their coverage and convince the gullible infidels that hating Jews is normal, acceptable behavior: Muslims urged to buy influence in world media.

RIYADH (Reuters) - Muslim tycoons should buy stakes in global media outlets to help change anti-Muslim attitudes around the world, ministers from Islamic countries heard at a conference in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

Information ministers and officials meeting under the auspices of the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the world’s largest Islamic body, said Islam faced vilification after the September 11 attacks, when 19 Arabs killed nearly 3,000 people in U.S. cities in 2001.

“Muslim investors must invest in the large media institutions of the world, which generally make considerable profits, so that they have the ability to affect their policies via their administrative boards,” OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told the gathering in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

“This would benefit in terms of correcting the image of Islam worldwide,” he said, calling on Muslim countries to set up more channels in widely-spoken foreign languages. ...

“The fierce attack on Islam in the five years since the September 11 attacks has forced us into a defensive position on our faith and understanding of our tolerant religion,” Egyptian Information Minister Anas el-Feki said in a speech.

“Now more than ever we need a new Islamic media message that reaches all parts of the world,” Feki said, citing Israel’s recent 34-day war in Lebanon as one issue where Muslims needed to make their views and influence felt.

Arab countries already exert considerable influence on Western media; previously at LGF:

Let’s call them what they are, Muslim terrorists!

(Excerpt)


Islam, like Fascism and Communism, is a totalitarian ideology. It has as much to do with politics as with religion, has more silly rules than a game of Calvin Ball, has sent more people to their deaths than a thousand Dachaus and Treblinkas, and is as violent as a triple-overtime grudge match winner-take-all between Godzilla and King Kong.

The similarities between Mohammed and Hitler are striking.


Both were angry, violent and vengeful men who imposed rigid semi-barbaric, pseudo-religious systems on the gullible, the greedy, the fearful and the criminal.

There was no mass media in the 7th Century to expose Mohammed for what he was.

One or two unread poets were not enough. On the other hand, Hitler had to contend with the printed word, the newsreel camera and eventually Winston Churchill.

The shelf life of a 20th Century dictator was much less than it was in Mohammed’s time. The Prophets followers had centuries to do as they pleased. There was no Walter Cronkite to say, “You are there;” no muckraking journalist counting corpses in back alleys; no Mike Wallace to shove a microphone into the face of barbarism—make that a young Mike Wallace.

If Mohammed had thrived during the 1930s instead of the 7th Century he would have suffered the same fate as Hitler—it would have been 30 years and out. In the 1990s he would have been another David Koresh, a crazy man exposed just in time.

Did George Bush hit a new low when he referred to Islamic-fascists? No, but it was a waste of time and energy.


He should have called them what they are—not Islamo-fascists but Muslim terrorists for only the truth will set them free.

George W. Bush, unfortunately, is not yet ready for that.

OUR ONLY HOPE IS GOD

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

In article after article, I have repeatedly stated that the planet’s only hope is Creator God — the deity of the Judeo-Christian tradition as expressed in the Bible.

We have run out of options for planetary safety now that a demonic, death-bent Islamic craze has threatened with nuclear destruction. These are people who love to die. They yearn to be slain or kill themselves. This is new in warfare.

This is the first time in history that nuclear weapons will be used to please a demonic god, even to the point of destroying the god’s own devotees.

Therefore, for those who have faith in the Christian God, there is no other hope for planetary continuance. This is shocking to Christians for they have lived, as the rest of the world’s population, in a rather safe world as far as the planet continuing to spin on its axis is concerned.

But now Christians steeped in eschatological studies from the Bible are having to deal with the numbness of possible global fireballs. Christians believe that Christ will return to rule since the planet is His property. Even these biblically knowledgeable Christians know that the Bible states that the world will explode with a third of it on fire, that is, according to the symbolism of The Book of Revelation.

Christians have studied these portions but have tried to relegate them to an era in which they themselves will not be alive to experience such calamity. However, now we realize that this could happen within a few years.

As I have tried to expound on biblical prophecy as related to social and political events now, I have attempted to be starkly honest.

And in that honesty I have concluded that Islamic Iran with its cultic leader will hold the civil world hostage via nuclear weapons.

That is in the near future.

U.S. declines Taliban funeral target (Fighting a kinder, gentler War)

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military acknowledged Wednesday that it considered bombing a group of more than 100 Taliban insurgents in southern
Afghanistan'
but decided not to after determining they were on the grounds of a cemetery.

The decision came to light after an NBC News correspondent's blog carried a photograph of the insurgents. Defense department officials first tried to block further publication of the photo, then struggled to explain what it depicted.

NBC News claimed U.S. Army officers wanted to attack the ceremony with missiles carried by an unmanned Predator drone but were prevented under rules of battlefield engagement that bar attacks on cemeteries. (WHAT ?)

In a statement released Wednesday, the U.S. military in Afghanistan said the picture — a grainy black-and-white photo taken in July — was given to a journalist to show that Taliban insurgents were congregating in large groups. The statement said U.S. forces considered attacking.

"During the observation of the group over a significant period of time, it was determined that the group was located on the grounds of (the) cemetery and were likely conducting a funeral for Taliban insurgents killed in a coalition operation nearby earlier in the day," the statement said.

"A decision was made not to strike this group of insurgents at that specific location and time."

Islamists = Bible Heroes?

The chaplain of a Church of England bishop has kicked up a stir in the British media by comparing the Islamist subway bombers in London last year to Old Testament heroes, Christian crusaders and even the angry Jesus in the Temple.

Canon Philip Gray claimed that the July 7, 2005 London subway bombers shared the same "religious passion" as the Christian crusaders of the Middle Ages.

"Behind modern fanatical Islamic terrorism lie many spiritual and religious passions and narratives also found in the Christian tradition." he wrote recently in his diocesan newspaper.

Gray’s article was to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks on the U.S. The 39 year old priest is the chaplain to Bishop of Blackburn Nicholas Reade. His musings naturally ignited controversy. Any seeming effort to mitigate the evil of the London subway bombers understandably strikes raw nerves among the British.

The London blasts on three trains and one bus killed 52 people and injured 700. All four of the Islamist bombers were killed by their own bombs, apparently welcoming martyrdom.

This is not unique, according to Chaplain Gray, who said Christians, like Muslims, "rejoice over the deaths of martyrs."

A’isha: Mohammed’s Nine-Year Old Wife


Numerous people have said that Mohammed had sex with his youngest wife, ‘Aisha, daughter of Abu Bakr, when he was about 53 and she was only nine years old.


Some Muslims deny that.

If somebody were to claim Mohammed and ‘Aisha had sex when she was nine, and they were wrong, that would be a serious slander against Mohammed. On the other hand, if it were true, that would show a very different side of Mohammed that would shock many.

So is this accusation against Mohammed true or false?

This paper will first give the evidence for A’isha being nine when her marriage was consummated, then raise 11 objections to this, and finally, ask what if each view were correct.

This is important to a widely practiced but overlooked practice today: child brides in Muslim lands due to Mohammed’s example.

In Iran as of June 2002 it is legal for a 9 year old girl to marry with her parents’ permission. Voices Behind the Veil p.136-137

In the Ivory Coast this book also tells of a 12 year old girl who would leave the house for hours before returning home. After her father tied her up, burned her back with a piece of iron, locked her up for three days with no food, he eventually married her of to a 40-year old man. He never sent her to school because he said that it would drive them from their tradition, they would start asking questions, and not want to marry until they are 19 or 20.

The Taliban encouraged families to marry off their daughters as young as eight years old. (Voices Behind the Veil p.110)

The Dallas Morning News 9/28/03 p.1,10S had a story about the sad plight of Muslim Nigerian girls who were married very young, got pregnant and had labor before their small bodies were ready. It was actually somewhat of a gross story, basically of many girls who needed C-sections but did not get them. Many survived, but could not have any children due to their perforated uteruses.

SOMEONE PLEASE RESCUE PRES BUSH FROM HIS TIME WARP

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Jesus said: "In the past it was an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth. Now I tell you it is love your enemies, do good to those who despite you."
Jesus rescued His own from the Old Testament time warp. There are sorts of interesting, complex reasons for that twist from Old to New; but this is not the time for that biblical study. However, Jesus had the wisdom to instruct His followers concerning moving on.

Someone has to move the President along.

For instance, in the past it was believed from some not religiously in-the-know that all religions are the same. All roads lead to the same God. All paths lead to heaven. Just be religious. It doesn’t matter which one you choose, just be something.

Now we know for certain that we can’t put all religions in the same category. There are world religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism and so forth. But when it comes to Islam, that is not one that fits into the others’ category. It falls on its own. Indeed it is not so much a world religion as a killing and maiming cult. It has all the marks of a dictatorial theologically demented cult.

In the past it was believed by Westerners that Middle East personages — particularly the masses — were just like us. But some were less fortunate in that despots controlled them. Therefore, what they yearned for was personal freedom, a democracy, liberties and a lifestyle like ours.

Now we know that those innocent looking personages are not like us in many ways. That does not mean that some are not like us — appreciating personal freedoms and the like. But there is a vast majority that is a totally different mortal category.

They are the ones who feast on killing, yearn to murder, live to hate and wake up to stab, pull the trigger, or light the bomb.

In the past it was pictured that if the whole world were just a free loving populace we could enjoy one another’s company. We would sit at one another’s table. We would put our arms around one another’s shoulders to bear life’s burdens. It just meant that we needed to build more kind bridges and give a little more, that is, be less selfish and more selfless.

Now we know that there is a whole company of monsters out there. We would not want their knives under our tables nor their rifles flashed under our noses. We would not want our children playing with their sons and daughters. Why?

Because we are prejudicial?

No.

Because their children are brought up to despise certain people, like the Jews, for instance. And their children are taught to kill themselves for Allah. Their offspring are even sent to torture schools were adult instructors show them how to cut off another’s head.

In the past it was thought that if only the free world would bend more we would find neighbors in nations that were somewhat mysterious to us but alluring once we got to know them. We just needed to crawl out of our cocoons long enough to come upon the riches of theier culture. We would then open our minds to fresh vistas.

Now we know that a culture, so-called, like Iraq was not so much filled with sophisticated treasures of mind, art, and literature. It was filled with cages filled with citizens shoved inside them by a dictator. They were a society where secret police whisked away pretty girls in the night to rape and kill them, some of them giving pleasures to Hussein and his grown sons.

There was a country where people poked swords into their stomachs at Hussein’s evening banquets in order to prove their prowess. He drank his wine while foolish males stabbed their bodies.

In the past it was decreed that all gods wished the same for mankind. All we needed to do was have more worldwide conferences for peace and love, then we would come upon the true religion that yielded its fruits of spiritual excellence.

Therefore, theologues from various theologically liberal seminaries mailed out their invitations to various religious leaders asking them to meet in some far off place for meditations and incantations. That would bring down the dove-like spirits.

Now we realize that many of those spirits are demonic. And not all gods are in the same league. There are gods with the small "g" who come from hell. Then they have their emissaries by which they move darkly through societies to inflict pain and confusion. In other words, melting all gods into one pot and calling it peace and love doesn’t work.

Now back to Mr. Bush. I thought I figured him out theologically.

I thought he gave enough witness to being an evangelical Christian that I could fill in the blanks concerning his relationship to Christ. He was Episcopalian. His wife is Methodist. They get along amicably with that twosome, apparently.

Mr. Bush has numerous friends in the evangelical camp, some very close to him in spiritual counsel. He has read his Bible, prays and knows various verses to quote. He has not kept his Christian testimony a secret. He has not tried at the same time to influence others to bow down to his faith, but instead has made it clear repeatedly that in a free society each citizen chooses for himself to be theist or atheist.

Now I have concluded that Mr. Bush is still all that. But what can go along with all that is this: naivete.

He has been particularly naïve about other religions, particularly the cult called "Islam." He has not been astute regarding biblical data regarding "gods" and "God." He has taken for granted a Pollyanna approach to faith that is quite accepting of others’ testimonies, even when they are lying to him.

Now to be fair to Mr. Bush I must state that most Americans are just like him. They are open to others’ opinions. They are accepting of others’ theologies. Some are convinced of their own convictions as Mr. Bush is so as to state them if asked. And so forth and so forth.

In all this we have come upon a huge mistake.

And it would not be so awful if it did not influence our very existence. The mistake is taking for granted that Islam is a peace religion, and that Islamics are people "like us."

They are not.

True Muslims are far from like us.

Muslims committed to the Koran, and that includes not just terrorists who make the news, are into horrific lifestyles.

I have enumerated these specifics in many prior articles; but for those who have not taken in the list, here it goes one more time: "honor killing," beating women for no reason, demoralizing females, razor-cutting girls’ genitals to keep them from sexual desires, believing in male dominance — much of it cruel, lashing youths at public poles for minor crimes, beheading innocent persons, beheading those who convert to another religion, stashing adultery-accused persons in earth piles so that their heads are bashed in with stones, the size prescribed by the Koran.

And one could on and on. Read the Koran’s maiming and murdering verses for yourself to get the full hellish picture.

Now with Mr. Bush going into Iraq, for instance, he thought he was lining up with a peace religion. He figured it would be companionable to Judeo-Christianity. Of course, it is anything but that.

He thought that Muslims were persons who prayed sincerely to the same "god" as the Christian God. Not so. Their "god" is Lucifer. He thought their "holy writ," the Koran, was acceptable and devotionally wise, so much so that he put a copy of it in the White House library. It is of course religious pornography scribed by demons.

Now one could one to other dimensions of present-day mistakes formed by analyzing incorrectly the cult, "Islam," but this much should suffice. The bottom line in all this is that the misreading of another’s theology has brought us to the planet’s possible demise. We are now waking mornings to Islamics out to cut our heads off.

Do you see what I mean by someone having to rescue Mr. Bush, and many more Americans, from his time warp?

CAN PRES BUSH’S HOPE MATCH REALITY?

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Here are US President George W. Bush’s postulates and hopes when addressing the world on the evening of September 11, 2006:

"We are safer but not yet safe.

"On 9/11 our nation saw the face of evil.

"For many of our citizens the wounds of that morning are still fresh.

"We have learned that the enemy is evil and kills without mercy. The enemy forms a global network of extremists. . .that hates freedom and rejects tolerance.

"We know that if they (the enemies) are able to get their weapons of mass destruction, they would use them against us.

"America did not ask for this war and every American wishes it were over. But the war is not over and the war will not be over until we or the extremists will be victorious.

"We are at a war that will set the course of this new century.

"9/11 changed the way we look at the world.

"I’m often asked why we are in Iraq. The answer is that the regime of Saddam Hussein was a clear threat. The United Nations saw the threat. After 9/11, the world is safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power.

"Al-Qaeda has come to Iraq to stop the rise of a free society. Al-Qaeda has joined the remnants of Hussein’s regime.

"We are adapting to stay ahead of the enemy. We are training Iraqi troops so that they can defend their nation. We will not leave until this work is done.

"The safety of America depends on (what happens in Iraq.)

"Every one of our troops is a volunteer. In Iraq, Afghanistan and other fronts, the men and women of our military are making great sacrifices to keep us safe. America cherishes their memory. We will never back down from the work they have begun.

"We have created the Department of Homeland Security.

"We have tightened the security at airports and seaports.

"We have broken up terrorist cells in our midst.

"Al-Qaeda has carried out terrorist attacks in more than two dozen nations. They remain determined to attack America and kill our citizens.

"In the first days after 9/11, I promised to use every power to fight the terrorist. The power of freedom is feared by terrorists.

"It is a struggle for civilization. We are fighting to maintain . . . free nations.

"We are now in the early hours of this struggle between tyranny and freedom.

"There are brave men and women (in Middle East countries) who are risking their lives each day.

"By standing with democratic leaders and reformers, we are offering a path away from radicalism.

"We look to the day when moms and dads of the Middle East (can know freedom).

"On this solemn anniversary we dedicate ourselves to this cause. Our nation has endured trials. We must put aside our differences to work together. We will defeat our enemies. We will protect our people."

I have reality questions that are not meant to contest the President’s sincerity but to bring to the fore reality:

Do Muslim fighters in the streets care at all as to what Mr. Bush said this evening? They don’t seem to care at all. They care to wake up tomorrow to kill themselves in suicide sacrifices and / or slay competing Muslims or lay low infidels.

Do Muslim countries that are entrenched in evil ways such as "honor killing," burying the adultery-accused in earth piles to bash in their heads till killed, lashing youths at public posts, beating females for no reason, beheading enemies, and training children how to hate particularly "Jew-pigs" have the wherewithal to reverse themselves to revere personal freedoms?

Can a Judeo-Christian heritage democracy expect a killing and maiming cult over centuries to convert rapidly from murder to mercy, killing to kindness, and lying to loving?

Mr. Bush still appears to believe that there is a ground swell of support in Muslim countries for civility. What seems to be actual is that there is a ground swell of support in Muslim countries for the abhorrent sharia — the hellish "legal" system condoned by Islamic clerics and backed by Koran verses.

Mr. Bush seems to hope that demonic cultic tenets can be reversed to moral base lines in Islamic nations. That however is asking centuries-bound fanatics to come to reason. That is to ask torture training schools to close, suicide-supporting parents to quit prodding their offspring to kill themselves for Allah, and Islamic clerics to change their hate-preaching to love and caring.

Recall when a Muslim in Afghanistan converted to Christ? What happened? Muslims in great number threatened to crucify him via the sharia "legal" system, for that is what Allah demands of the convert to another religion.

Recall when multinational troops in Iraq committed heinous acts against civilians. Iraqi Muslims demanded that they be put to trail via the sharia.

Recall when the Muslim Jordanian king sided with logic concerning democracy’s advancements. His own Jordanian Muslims threatened to behead him in public.

I would ask Mr. Bush if his well-intended hope is simply unreal as related to today’s Muslim cult worldwide.

DANGEROUS TIMES TO KNOCK GOD AROUND

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

But some will still do it, or try to.
So Matt Hughes walked into his post office. There he saw a sign that has been hanging since 9/11/01. It reads: "God Bless America."

With that Hughes refused to pray, that is, he claims that threesome is prayer. It must not be posted in a government owned postal room. Therefore, he told the postmaster to remove the poster. So the postmaster removed it to a back room somewhere, per the Santa Maria Times via Scott Norvell on Fox News.

Now this is not the time to absent God from anything. Yet Hughes and such will test the divine patience to the limit.
It’s all about separation of church and state, he says. Not so. Separation of church and state refers to no denomination being supported by the government, of which there is no such denomination in the US supported by the government. The Church of England is supported by that government; but such a creature does not exist in America.

In fact the First Amendment gives free religious expression its wide breadth. However, the likes of Hughes and the ACLU don’t see that; therefore, the demonic beat goes on.
"’They posted a religious expression, in this case, a prayer, and it's not the business of our government to be promoting religion,’ Hughes said.

"The postmaster to whom he complained moved the poster to a back room out of public view. It had been hanging on a wall above the customer service counter since shortly after 9/11/01."

If you care to, you might offer a prayer for Hughes. One of these days he’s going to need it.
