The first one is a blog that is scheduled to do a blog radio interview with him on January 17th and 18th, 2008. The blog's name is 1389 Blog - Antijihadist Tech
That blog is about exposing what is happening in the U.K. regarding the infiltration of radical Islamists and the litigation jihad, blog censorship, counterjihad, and censorship that has placed citizens like Lionheart in danger.
[Please note: This post is NOT ABOUT NON-RADICALIZED, PEACEFUL PEOPLE OF THE MUSLIM FAITH!!!]
Now, there are some bloggers who are questioning Lionheart's affiliation with questionable groups. I have come to the conclusion that this was the result of a misunderstanding which escalated into a blog spat between a well know blogging community and Lionheart.
Admittedly, my knowledge about all that has transpired is limited. This is all new to me, people. [Note: I am open to comments and/or corrections].
But when I heard about Lionheart and started researching his case on the internet, I must tell you that it certainly appears to me that his plight is genuine. I am learning more and more about his desperate situation each day. His decision to be a whistleblower about what is happening in the U.K. and the danger being heaped upon the citizens there by those involved in radical Islam is wrecking havoc upon Lionheart's homeland. Because of absurd "hate speech" laws in the U.K., it has ended up costing him his freedom of speech rights as well as his freedom of religion rights. What's worse is that because of the added threat of arrest, he had to leave his homeland!
Past interviews:
Lionheart was interviewed by Atlas Shrugs last year. Listen to the interview here. [Note: Lionheart's interview starts about 5 - 10 minutes into the show.]
You can also read a great post at Right Truth.
Atlas Shrugs has a blog post about Lionheart's pending arrest. Be sure to read the comments there, too.
This morning, I read an interesting section in John MacArthur's "The Truth War" book. Here's the excerpt that I thought was related to this situation:
In England, where the reigning monarch is titular head of the Anglican Church, one of the important subsidiary titles that goes with the crown is "Defender of the Faith." (The common abbreviation appears on all British coins as FD, for fidei defensor.) In all candor, almost none of England's monarchs have really deserved such a label or taken the duty very seriously. In fact, the formal title dates back to the time of of Henry VIII, a man for whom the title was ludicrous - because his lifestyle was notoriously sinful, memorable mostly for his shoddy treatment of several successive wives.
Prince Charles, current heir apparent, announced in 1994 that he would prefer to tweak the title so as not to elevate Christianity over Islam, Hinduism, or Wicca: "I personally would rather see it as Defender of Faith, not the Faith," he said. In a verbal cascade of perfect postmodern eloquence, the prince went on to say that he views himself as a defender "of the divine in existence, the pattern of the divine which is, I think, in all of us but which, because we are human beings, can be expressed in so many different ways."
When you listen to the results of this unfortunate open door policy given to Islam in the U.K. (via the interview with Lionheart and Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs -link above), you will see what a serious mistake that Prince Charles' decision really was!
MacArthur continues:
Prince Charles's discomfort with the kingly title is an exact parallel to what has happened in the evangelical movement. After years of neglecting to defend the faith, many evangelicals now simply refuse the duty. They have become uncomfortalbe with the whole idea of militancy in defense of the truth. They have in effect embraced the postmodern axiom that dialogue is morally superiour to debate, a conversation is inherently more edifying than a controversy, and fellowship is always better than a fight.
Can you see the not-so-subtle parallels between heresy's invasion into the true gospel of Jesus Christ and Lionheart's plight in the U.K. in fighting against the invasion of the narco-terrorists of Islam and their goals of domination, repression of other religions, and desire to instill shari'a law?
Read the following excerpt from the Right Truth blog. It is a good summary in case you are unfamiliar with what is happening in the U.K.:
Islamist rule over the UK may, alarmingly, be on its way. Today, the British police want to question and/or arrest the British blogger known as Lionheart. His crime? Turning his life around as a young school dropout and petty drug dealer and emerging as a believing Christian who opposes the drug plague in his hometown of Luton and who views the Pakistani Islamist and al-Qaeda control of the drug trade in Luton as both criminally and politically dangerous. For this, Lionheart has been charged with “stirring up racial hatred”—which is a crime in the UK.
Yes, Luton—where the 7/7 suicide bombers, Omar Bakri, and the hook-handed Abu Hamza of the Finsbury Park Mosque all came from. In fact, according to Lionheart, one of his supporters is Glen Jenvey, the man who helped imprison Abu Hamza and aided in the expulsion of Omar Bakri from Great Britain.
Interestingly, Dr. Ehrenfeld was sued because she documented that the Saudi billionaire was funding terrorism and that Islamist terrorists are funding their diabolic deeds by selling narcotics. The phrase: “narco-terrorism” is Ehrenfeld’s.
Lionheart, whose real name is Paul, documents the extent to which this is true on the ground. He writes about the massive number of Pakistani Muslim drug dealers in his hometown of Luton who addict British youth and whose profits fuel expensive lifestyles, paramilitary organizations, suicide terrorism, and religious hate speech against Jews, Christians, and the West. Ironically, what is said in mosques and madrassas and on protest marches all over the UK is never considered to constitute a “racially” motivated hate crime. As George Orwell understood, not all pigs are equal.
Oh yes. These Islamist groups also raise money by sexually enslaving girls and women. The largest opium fields in the world are currently in Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda, The Taliban, and Pakistani Islamists are selling what becomes heroin and crack cocaine to the West.
Paul/Lionheart started working with the police and with vulnerable children. He gave evidence that led to a one year jail sentence for one such drug dealer. Because some police officers are, allegedly, corrupt, Paul’s name was given to the drug dealer as the “informant.” Paul fled after receiving credible death threats. Now, he himself faces possible arrest.
Be sure to click on the link to the Right Truth blog and read the interview there with Lionheart.
Lionheart has chosen to be a warrior in the defense of his country from being overtaken by radical Islamic rule. This is serious stuff, folks! He is an individual (Christian convert) who is willing to pay a huge price to defend and fight for truth in his country.
I hope that people reading this blog will now see the seriousness of the threat of global Islamofascism.
This coming election is going to be so important. We MUST elect a new president who understands this global threat and who is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect our nation and people. Our presidential choice must be vigilant in fighting the threats from not only radical Islamic terrorism, but also the slow, subtle, freedom-killing infiltration by radicals into our nation whose goal is to take it over for radical Islam.
Don't be fooled into complacency. There will never be a truce in radical Islam's war against the West. The enemy is relentless.
Unfortunately, the U.K. was lulled into a false sense of security. They opened up their land and over the course of 13? (just a guess) years since Prince Charles made his unwise postmodern pronouncement, the world can see what giving up the defense of the faith of Christianity, open borders and unregulated immigration has wrought upon their country. We cannot make the same political mistakes and let this happen in the United States of America!

In his book, "Crazies the the Left of me, Wimps to the Right" Bernard Goldberg has a section titled "Islam is a Religion of Peace, and if you don't believe me I'll kill you." And in the Section is a Chapter titled "The 'Moderates' are a Little Nutty, Too."
He says: "While it's true that most Muslims are not terrorists, it's also true that most terrorists are Muslims--at least the ones who want to kill us. This is why it's time--long past time, actually--for a Million Muslim Man March."
He goes on: "Why should American Muslims march if they're not blowing anybody up? Is this guilt by association? No. Muslims should march not to prove their innocence but to let the terrorists know that good Muslims will not support them--or even try to understand them--simply because they share the same religion. Muslims should march to isolate the radicals who kill in the name of Islam; to tell them that they are alone in their dark world; to make sure the facists who pray to Allah know that they have no allies here in America."
Then later: "Call me Pllyanna, but I'm not deterred. I don't just want a million Muslims to march on Washington, I want a million more to march on London, and a million more on Paris, and on Madrid, and on Frankfurt, and on Rome, and on Amsterdam, on Brussels, and on every civilized city on the planet. I want them to march on Cairo and Amman and Dmascus andRiyadh, too."
As further explanation he adds: I was a young guy during the civil rights era, living in New Jersy, and I remember thinking that these moderates were just as bad as all the rest. Where was their courage? How could they look the other way when poop people who had done no one any harm were being beaten, and worse? They wre either bigots or cowards, I figured. Either way, I despised them."
See, when a "Christian" kills an Abortion doctor, or blows up an Abortion clinic, or a porn shop or something, most Christians condemn the action and make it clear that we do not support that possition, and yet we are still painted with the same brush as the brutal crazies who would do these things. Muslims on the other hand do not. They support in their silence, if not in their actions, and yet we are always cautioned not to group them in with the terrorists...
just a little food for thought,
Matt W.
I think that the possible main reason why moderate Muslims and those that reject terrorism don't come right out and condemn the actions of the terrorists is because they fear for their own lives, as well as the lives of family members.
On the other hand, silence can indicate quiet, but deadly support.
How do we know the difference?
I do not know anymore.
The problem in the U.K. and the car burning riots in France certainly do not show me anything but support for Muslim terrorism and violence.
Those who might want to condemn the terrorists actions see what happens to Muslim apostates so they stay silent. Look at what happened to Benazir Bhutto!
The few who have spoken out (i.e. Walid Shoebat, Nonie Darwish) are certainly brave souls. But do you know what is truly astonishing? The documentary film that they both appear in and promote (Obsession: Radical Islam's War with the West)is often rejected for showing at colleges! Anti-terrorism speakers (like David Horowitz) are shunned, shouted down, and even physically attacked at the liberal left lunatic universities!!
Mow THAT is truly insane Matt!
I would even go so far as to label their actions as not-so-subtle treason against our nation! It's ridiculous!
Could you imagine Nazi sympathizers getting away with that crap in the 1940's?? Of course not! They would hide their allegiance to such a cause.
Today, it's viewed as a benign kind of postmodern quasi-intellectual, relativistic, secular humanism elite form of tolerance towards those who want to murder us!!!
I'm going on a hunt for a photo I saw and I saved from a San Fransicko parade. The irony of the statement is mind-numbing!
Took a while...but I finally found it!
Sign displayed at "Stop the U.S. Israeli War Rally, San FranSICKO, August 12, 2006
Now isn't this one special, too?
Hamas sign
More photos here.
While I was searching for that first photo over at Zombietime I saw some of the most bizarre, disgusting, hateful, horrible displays of liberal left LUNACY!!!
Looked at the pictures and all I can say is... WOW, what a buch of WHACKOs!!!!!!!! Totally unbelieveable.
I can understand fear motivating the common folk not to stand up, but the secret is for them all to stand up together. This is why Bernie's idea of a "Million Muslim Man March" would be differant. Instead of one person standing up, and basically painting a target on themselves, it would be millions and millions of people standing up and saying, we do not support you.
Back to the pictures, I think that one that stuck out in my mind the most was the sign that said that if the terrorists are hiding amonst civilians then Israel must hold fire. My response was, I don't think so! I think that Israel has shown nearly unimaginable restraint in the responses to the horrors that they are subjected to on a daily basis. The idea that if your neighbor is killing your children, and the hiding behind their own, you must not retaliate because you might accidentally hit the cowards child.... I'm at a loss for words...

Hi Christine,
Thank you for posting on the plight of my community and my personal regarding it.
"Lionheart has chosen to be a warrior in the defense of his country from being overtaken by radical Islamic rule"
Matthew 21:14 For many are called, but few chosen.
i really appreciate your standing with me over the LGF debacle, your stood out in my defence which i am thankful of.
I was reading the comments above and your right about the moderates fering for their own lives because of the religion in which they belong.
In my mind though they are a part of the same tree, just a different branch of that tree, with Mohamed and the Koran as their root, each playing their different part to achieve Islams ultimate goals.
The military wing and the political wing, it goes hand in hand.
We are just told they are not all the same and that we must not label them as being the same.
If they carry the label 'moslem' then they are the same, at the core of who they are, their belief system with which they view the world from they have the fundamental teachings of Islam and the Koran, if you have a look at some of the fundamentals you will see they are all the same.
Islam and the Moslem belief system is unconducive to a civilized society as the facts clearly state, yet we are being forced to accept these people in our midst, and it is not them giving up their freedoms and way of life it is us, we are having to give up our freedoms so as to fall in line and be acceptable to the Islamic way of life.
The Islamification process from the Dar al-Harb to the Dar al-Islam.
The greatest Jihad in history is upon our civilization now and their will only be one winner, them or us and it will be our children and grandchildren who will face the consequnces of our actions or inactions.
A spade is a spade.
It was good to see your deep faith and belief in God through your site.
God bless you
Paul
Hey Matt,
Based on what Paul (Lionheart) wrote here, I somehow doubt that we would ever see a "Million Muslim Man March" here in the U.S. (or anywhere else...for that matter).
Whether the reason is because of fear of the radical Islamists, or because of support for them; either way it doesn't appear that such an event would likely occur. Good idea though.
You are correct, Matt. That sign (the one about the idea that if your neighbor is killing your children, and then hiding behind their own, you must not retaliate because you might accidentally hit the cowards child) was particularly disturbing, as well. I went back to look at all of the pictures again, and saw many terribly disturbing ones.
For the sake of clarity, I must say that no matter how dreadful the messages contained in these protests and signs, I DO support free speech rights. In fact, I think that exposing wackos and their free speech rights TO BE CRAZY, LUNATIC WACKOS is helpful to our call for America to choose our presidential candidates VERY WISELY!
I am considering placing this comment thread in a new blog post. Some of the regular readers may not be following this particular thread.
I personally think that it is essential for people to see how crazy the far left liberal loonie dafts (LLLD's) really are!
The one sign that stood out most in my mind was the "THANK YOU S.F. LIBERALS...YOU DIE LAST." That sign is proof positive that LLLD's don't even realize that they are siding with an enemy WHO WANTS TO KILL THEM...TOO!
Rallies such as those that are posted at Zombietime.com, are typically happening in liberal loonie neighborhoods of the current House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi. How awful is it to realize that she is third in line to presidency today!!
I am praying, ever so fervently, not only for the Republican nominee to win the election, but also for the House and Senate to be placed back into the control of a Republican majority. Even if just the House changes back, I will be much happier (and our nation's LINE OF SUCCESSION TO THE PRESIDENCY would be IN MUCH SAFER HANDS.
Thanks so much for all that you contribute to this blog, Matt. Your comments and insight add so much here!
Hi Paul,
It is great to hear from you again! How are things going for you? Are you in a safe area? I pray that you are.
You have far more insight into the Jihadist War of Radical Islamo-Fascism than I currently do. The postmodern, politically correct response here in the U.S. is to separate the "moderates" from the fanatics of the Muslim faith.
However, my conversation with someone who I thought might have been considered a "moderate" has quickly deteriorated into labeling me a "radical right Christian."
Here's a copy of her post:
Radical right struggles with Obama
by U*m*m Y*a*s*m*i*n @ 8:58 am. Filed under Jihad Against the Munkar
Some radical right Christians* are really struggling with Obama. I have to confess as a Muslim myself I find it tempting to think of Obama as a Muslim who just happens to attend church ;)
I think it’s precisely because if he ever was Muslim, what differentiates him from people like Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq etc. is that he doesn’t go around demonizing his former faith and its followers. So apostasy (and here Moojan’s ressentiment label does actually work) is a tag that just doesn’t fit Obama, even if he ever was a Muslim.
I originally made the comment that having a US President who has some appreciation of the religion of one sixth of humanity, spanning every continent and practically every culture and language-group, would make such a change from the current one who buys the lie of an inevitable Clash of Civilisations.
* Came across an excellent definition of radical right from Prof. Michael Minkenberg: “ideological core of populist ultra-nationalism which is derived from (but not equal to) an anti-universal, anti-democratic myth of the national community.” So I think Irfan was right when he questioned Christinewjc’s commitment to democracy (see comments of her previous post on Obama).
So....a self-identified Muslim feminist (now THERE'S an oxymoron if I ever read one!!!) from Australia believes that she has me all figured out and labeled fairly based on a few blog posts and comments?
Sheesh!
The only thing we have in common is that we both don't like anyone to swear on our blogs...
Back to you and your comments, Paul.
A while back, our President, George W. Bush (who claims to be a Christian) made the statement that Christians and Muslims all worship the same God.
Nope!
Not a chance!!!
I have written about this fact before.
Perhaps Bush said that in a politically correct way to try and ease the tension? Not going to work. Not in a million years.
The Bible has prophecied about this current war, which had its beginnings way back in history from the time of Isaac and Ishmael.
From what I have seen, heard and read, I tend to agree with your assessment, Paul.
Even Umm Yasmin of "Dervish" mentioned :
"I tend to avoid using the word 'moderate' because it implies lukewarm. I.e. I wouldn't want to be called a moderate intellect, or moderately good looking ;)"
So, to call a Muslim a "moderate" is not necessarily a good thing.
I think that you are absolutely correct when you wrote:
"Islam and the Moslem belief system is unconducive to a civilized society as the facts clearly state, yet we are being forced to accept these people in our midst, and it is not them giving up their freedoms and way of life it is us, we are having to give up our freedoms so as to fall in line and be acceptable to the Islamic way of life."
I agree that we are in the greatest battle against Jihad in history. The lives and way of life for our children and grandchildren are at stake. We must be diligent and continue to fight the good fight against those who are obsessed with our destruction.
Stay in touch Paul!
God bless you!
Christine
Just a note to be fair to Bernie Goldberg, he doesn't actually expect to see the "Million Muslim Man March" either, he just would really like to.
As to everything else, I fully agree. To throw in your lot with someone who is sworn to kill you is something I just can't get my head around.
Matt W.
Christine, I just finished reading your older post about Muslims not worshiping the same God as Christians and Jews. I must say, excelent post, I think you nailed it wonderfully. On the subject of the Muslim belief that Jesus was a Prophet, or the belief you hear from a lot of people that He was a good person, but not God, let me share this quote I found by CS Lewis.
"Jesus Christ--a good moral teacher?
C.S. Lewis 'Mere Christianity' page 56
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a good moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
Hi Christine,
Did you recieve me post?
Hi Lionheart,
Yes. I read your comment and replied to you using your real name "Paul" (about 4 comments up).
Just returned from having dinner out with my husband. I am tired, but I did glance at your blog and I see that there are several posts I need to read. I also want to listen to the radio re-broadcasts that you posted there. I plan to get to it tomorrow.
Keep fightin' the good fight!
Your friend in Christ,
Christine
Matt,
Wouldn't we all like to see that "march" that Bernie described?
Thanks for your appreciation of the post that explains why Muslims who worship Allah do not worship the same God as Yahweh of the Bible.
I think that it is very important for people to realize these facts. Then, they won't make the same mistake that Bush did when he falsely claimed that Muslims do worship, and believe in, the same God.
Mere Christianity is a classic and remains one of my favorite Christian books. C.S. Lewis takes away all the "mush" that is often out there...skewing the views of Jesus.
Jesus himself asks, "Who do you say that I am?" Our answer to that question determines our ultimate destiny in eternity. Just claiming that Jesus is only a "good teacher" doesn't cut it! He is so much more than that!!
