Willfully Blind to the Jihad

A friend (thank you Donna) sent the following video link to me via email today. I recall seeing this video during the 2008 Presidential campaign. It concerned me greatly back then - and still highly concerns me now.

Muslim Connections of Obama

When you watch the video, tell me what kind of look you perceive Obama as showing on his face while looking around the mosque. It reminded me of someone looking around a cathedral - all in worshipful, religious awe of one's surroundings.

What do you think?

Later today, I read Pam Geller's essay over at Big Government - The U.S. Government: Willfully Blind to the Jihad It sent shivers up and down my spine!

Recall that Obama has stated that "he would side with the Muslims?" IMO, that's going way beyond the call of duty for "tolerance." That statement made LOTS of Americans very uneasy.

Maybe it is we Americans - distracted by so many things these days - who are willfully blind to the under-the-radar hidden agenda that threatens our way of life and our nation? Just thinking out loud...

Hat tips to both links.

How many of these kinds of photos do we need to see to question where Obama's loyalties live?

Israpundit: What a smuck

Radical Islam's Continuing Global Jihad

It was my original intention to continue with "The Truth War" posts today, but I feel that the Lord is leading me in another direction. It all started with a spam comment. I know that may sound a bit strange, but was it a coincidence that the spam comment was posted in a blog post from January, 2008 entitled, Radical Islamic Narco-Terrorism in the UK? Perhaps it was a coincidence. However, as I re-read that post and comments I found out some interesting things.

Back in January of 2008, a Muslim blogger by the name of Umm Yasmin occasionally posted comments here at Talk Wisdom. Here is a copy of a post she wrote back on January 18, 2008 about me and this blog's content:

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).

Back at my blog link (above) I wrote:

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...

But look what happens TODAY when I try to go to the original link to her blog within the post:

Hmmmm...isn't that strange??

Why have I been banned access to a post that was written about me and my blog??

In a comment written to Lionheart of the UK (in the 2008 "Radical Islamic Narco-Terrorism in the UK" thread, I wrote:

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 prophesied 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 [sic] 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

I decided to go back to the website for the documentary "Obsession: Radical Islam's War With the West." On the Media page I found an old video of Glenn Beck's T.V. show on CNN Headline News where he has a discussion with Wayne Kopping, the director and editor of the film "Obsession." Go watch that video! I plan to watch the other ones listed there as well.

The increase in attacks against us here at the homeland indicates that all the bluster of the liberals that if we "just talk with them, understand them, negotiate with them, and play nice-nice with the terrorists" simply is not a reasonable alternative and falls flat on it's face in reality!

This topic needed to be revisited by me today. People on the left naively thought that the War on Terror should be re-labeled as an "Overseas Contingency Operation." After the failed Christmas day attack, Obama stupidly called the Nigerian terrorist's act an "isolated incident." Either he is totally clueless, inept, and flawed as a leader of this nation or he is on the side of the terrorists for a purpose that is currently unknown to us. There can be no other explanation for his terrible errors!!

The following blog posts are all excellent in analyzing what America is up against in this global jihad.

Thoughts on "Escape from Hamas" Special

Any readers here see the Jonathan Hunt Fox News Special story, "Escape from Hamas" this weekend? If you did, you might believe that it was quite convincing. The special came as a result of Hunt's interview back in August of 2008 - Son of Hamas Leader Turns Back on Islam and Embraces Christianity.

Excerpt:

Mosab Hassan Yousef is an extraordinary young man with an extraordinary story. He was born the son of one of the most influential leaders of the militant Hamas organization in the West Bank and grew up in a strict Islamic family.

Now, at 30 years old, he attends an evangelical Christian church, Barabbas Road in San Diego, Calif. He renounced his Muslim faith, left his family behind in Ramallah and is seeking asylum in the United States.

The story of how his life unfolded is truly amazing, whether you agree or disagree with his views. Below is a transcript on an exclusive FOX News interview with Hassan as he tells firsthand how a West Bank Muslim became a West Coast Christian.

I want to say, at the start, that this man's testimony could very well be genuine. I hope and pray that it is! But, as Ronald Reagan always said, "Trust, but verify."

Time has a way of proving whether or not a person's conversion is genuine. Take Walid Shoebat, for example. He has been active in promoting awareness of radical Islam for many years. He appeared in and promoted the stunning documentary, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West".

One of the reasons why I might doubt this former Hamas member's conversion is because I did not see (at the article link), nor hear (during the documentary) that he has been born again in Jesus Christ. Again, he might very well have BEEN born again. As with all conversions to Christ, it is a matter of the heart and totally between God and each individual person whether or not true conversion has occurred. I was just surprised (and wary) of this particular individual testimony because he did not verbalize the most important element of conversion - the fact that Jesus told us, "You must be born again."

Jhn 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Jhn 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

During a discussion about the popular New Age guru, Deepak Chopra, over at Gateway Pundit blog, I shared the fact that people often mix religious beliefs and create their own brand of religion (and followers) for personal gain, prowess, profit, and even deceptive purposes. Chopra has made tons of money on his books. Contrary to what he often states about "not imposing his personal beliefs" onto the public, nothing could be further from the truth. Why would he write all of those books if he wasn't trying to sell the ideas contained in them?

I have often suspected that Chopra is a relativistic, religious, New Age brand of Hindu. Back in 2005, my suspicions about him became much more apparent. He appeared on a short-lived T.V. show called, "Faith Under Fire" and debated Christian Apologist Greg Koukl on the show. Lets just say that Koukl graciously, faithfully and kindly absolutely steamrolled Chopra's illogical New Age gobbledy-gook with the truth about Christ and the Bible.

The broadcast was absolutely fabulous! Greg Koukl pointed out the fact that people can have differing beliefs regarding faith, but that it is logically impossible for them all to be true at the same time. His trust in Jesus Christ and God's Word stood in direct contrast to Deepak Chopra who admitted "embracing his uncertainty." Koukl's view demonstrates a steadfast and true faith where Chopra's view can only lead to theological oblivion.

In the comment thread of the post, Deepak Chopra Offers Obama 9 Steps to Peace (Collapse of Western Civilization) over at Gateway Pundit, Chopra's letter to Obama is even further evidence that he not only lives among the theologically oblivious - but also points to the fact that he is a card-carrying member of a dangerously minded political crowd, too.

What is also disturbing is that Chopra has recently written a book about a "new kind of Jesus." You see, talking about Jesus does not necessarily mean that one actually believes in the Jesus of the Bible.

The sad fact is, there are many, many instances of false conversions. It's just a fact of life. Let me share an example from the opposite side of the issue.

Recall when Steve Centanni of Fox News was captured by Islamic militants and held in captivity for some time? When he was finally released, we learned that Steve agreed to "renounce his Christianity (or, was it in fact renounce "Jesus Christ?") and embrace Islam. News reports told us that he did that - just to save his life and get to see his family again.

Were his words a false conversion? Probably. He would say anything to be spared death and be reunited with his family. But were his words important to the Islamic terrorists? I'm sure they were. Perhaps he was believable enough to be spared his life. [Please note: I am not judging Mr. Centanni, just using this as an example to show that false "conversions" of any religious type can, and do happen.]

After 9/11, we have been told numerous times that radical Islam's goal is to invade the United States from within her boarders. The fact that this terrorist attack was successful is proof of this goal. Who is to say that utilizing a false conversion to Christianity won't be tried to gain America's trust?

It appears that I'm not the only person who is wary of this former Hamas leader's son's conversion to Christianity:

BG writes:

Now to this, what do you guys think of "Escape From Hamas"?? On FNC. Son of HAMAS Founder & Leader who was converted" by ONE Bible Passage by a Foreign Christian Visitor. Now he is in USA..no problem whatsoever getting past our Security. Past airports, gets past "immigration and customs" and whatever controls we have to keep the Terrorists OUT! Is he a "mole"?? He lives in CA! Think about it.
Agent 99 01.05.09 - 10:00 am #

I must admit. When I heard how easily a former Hamas leader's son - Mosab Hassan Yousef - got into the United States - getting past our security, airport checks, immigration and customs etc.; alarm bells went off in my mind.

Perhaps there is no need to worry about this one individual. His conversion may be genuine. But what about others who have escaped through our security detectors?

The 9/11 Islamic terrorists lived, worked, and mingled among Americans for years before they inflicted great harm and killed 3,000 people on that terrible day in September of 2001. They assimilated very well into our culture. Appeared to "like" us and worked alongside many Americans who were no doubt, later shocked when they discovered they knew the perpetrators who were involved in the carnage of 9/11.

Again, I hope and pray that this former Hamas member is genuinely converted and now a brother in Jesus Christ. But the part about him getting through all of the security checks that our country has set up since 9/11 is worrisome to me.

What are your thoughts?

Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West

Gateway Pundit

Israel Needs Prayer More Than Ever

I have often believed that Israel needs a strong leader again. They need a man like Benjamin Netanyahu. Each time I have heard him speak on the issues (during T.V. interviews on Fox News) that Israel faces on a daily basis, I have prayed that the people of Israel would see that he is the kind of leader they need and vote him back into office.

The terribly horrendous missile attacks being launched into Israel by Hamas terrorists reiterates the need for strong, decisive action and yes - retaliation. This requires a knowledgeable and strong leader like Netanyahu. We have seen the inaction and terrible land give-aways that Barak and Olmert have done over the years. IMO, their weak leadership has led to this current escalation of war.

Radical Islamic terrorists - no matter what their title name (e.g. Hamas) are bent on destroying Israel. They will never give up, never relent and never compromise their goals with any treaty of peace.

Just as the kamikaze Japanese pilots of WWII, they would rather die as suicide/homicide bombers than let the enemy live. The only recourse is to destroy them.

I know. Liberals tend to think that they can be "reasoned" with.

Somehow, I absolutely doubt that.

When a mind has been brain-washed in such an evil manner that the call of their radicalism of "death to Israel" is more important than life here on earth (for both the Jews and the individual radical muslim terrorist who cheers martyrdom for themselves); then there can be no form of negotiation that would work.

Joel Rosenberg's blog has a very informative post with several good links that will give you the details of this recent Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

Rosenberg brings up Netanyahu in his essay:

This is a key message point of opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been urging Olmert to launch an invasion and stop the violence immediately rather than merely repeat empty threats. “I do not know of a country that would be hit by this many missiles and not do anything,” Netanyahu said Wednesday. “We must stop being hit and attack in order to renew our deterrence capability and our national honor.” Netanyahu is currently leading in the polls in his own bid to be Prime Minister, in part because Israelis see him as stronger on defense than Livni and Barak. But should the current government launch an aggressive and effective assault on the Hamas terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, this could dramatically help Livni and Barak in the polls and cause Netanyahu to lose ground.

Rosenberg ends his post requesting prayer:

Please be praying for Israel’s current political and military leaders to have the wisdom and courage to the right thing to protect their citizens. Pray, too, that the Lord would raise of up more leaders in the Jewish State who will be like the “sons of Issachar” described in I Chronicles 12:32, men who “understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” Pray for the Israeli families who are suffering in many ways due to the relentless barrage of rocket fire from Gaza. Meanwhile, please pray for Palestinian leaders to effectively confront the Hamas radicals and shut down their terrorist operations. Please pray for all the Palestinian families who are victims of both war and terrorism. And please don’t forget to pray faithfully and consistently for evangelical Christians on both sides of the border and around the world to know how best to help Israelis and Palestinians who are caught in the crossfire and suffering as a result.

Update: Israel Retaliates

Barak says there is a time for calm and a time for fighting. Speaking at a news conference Saturday, he said "now is the time for fighting" and that "the operation will expand as necessary."

Comment over there:

Obamamania Verges on Obsession

Over at Michele Malkin's blog, commenter emjem24 replied to my comment about Michele Obama's rhetoric:

Christine:

Great quote. I hadn’t heard the whole context of Michelle Obama’s socialist rhetoric. I will have to listen to Mark’s take. When I read your quote, I couldn’t believe it. Is Obama running for the new dictator of Cuba? Americans need to really do some hard analysis of this man unless they’re scared of what they might find.

There’s an interesting article that you can link off of Drudge to Politico about this growing “cult” or “movement” for Obama. Just look at the interesting, negative reaction. I find it hilarious that people are calling Obama’s candidacy a “movement” and those who raise doubts about him or critical questions are “cynics,” “divisive,” or favor “insiders.” When I read this article, and the array of Obama supporter reactions, I was further convinced that many people buy the packaging but never want to see what’s inside.

I went over to Politico.com and read the article, "Obamamania verges on obsession."

McCain has already addressed this insanity:

After McCain’s victory in Wisconsin Tuesday night, he too cast Obama as long on rhetoric but light on substance.

"I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure that Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change," McCain said.

An excerpt exhibiting the lunacy of the "followers":

The true believers can “Obama-ize” just about anything. Knitters for Obama crochet for him, Runners for Obama jog for him, and Hold 'Em Barack, well, they bet on him.

In Chicago, a recent art exhibit showed works depicting the candidate on canvas, paper and even in animated videos.

Some of the posters are vaguely reminiscent of classic Soviet propaganda, with a large, benevolent-looking Obama staring out from the paper. The artists plan to tour their "independent political propaganda campaign" across the country.

The Internet offers a revealing glimpse into the curious scope of Obamamania. One blog, titled "Is Barack Obama the Messiah?" cuts right to the chase.

A search on Flickr, a photo-sharing website, turns up pictures of Obama cakes, murals, etch-a-sketch drawings, and even tattoos.

On Etsy, a crafts auction website, you can buy Obama jewelry, paintings, and even a homemade Obama Valentine. The card shows a sketch of the candidate with the text, "I want to Barack your world."

The magnitude of the Obama movement has reached such Elvis-like proportions that even the candidate seems to be trying to tone things down.

The comment section certainly brought out quite a circus of characters...to say the least!


Thankfully, there are some sane commenters interspersed between the Obamamaniacs.

Like this one:

Dan R:

This "movement" will peter out in the months to come as Obama is exposed for the old line, nanny state, tax & spend, "Blame America First" liberal that he really is. He's peaking now, and that's about 9 months too soon. All McCain has to do now is bide his time, keep highlighting Obama's voting record in the U.S. Senate, and keep challenging him to provide specifcs on exactly how he plans to deliver this great "change" that he keeps promising. It may look and sound different, but it's still the same old gas.

And these:

Mtwokey:

Obamamania verges on obsession


Unfortunately this illustrates the ignorance of his hope/change constituents, which represents 30-40% of this country. Pretty sad in my opinion this country has come down to this level of stupidity.

Manderson367:

I agree that "the same old, same old" gets old, but other than "Change" what does he offer. "Change" isn't always a good thing, and I'd like an idea of exactly how he's planning to pay for all these "changes" he's talking about. Kind of reminds me of a carnival barker. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

I can honestly say, this guy scares me a little. Seems a little too smooth for me.

P.S. Good article exposing The Real Barack Obama.

Quote:

A lawyer, Michelle Obama is perfectly capable of expressing herself precisely. In fact, she spoke from a written speech.

Those who do not want to believe she meant what she said — and that Barack Obama could not be so close to Rev. Wright if he did not himself believe in much of what he has said — are in denial.

The real Barack Obama is starting to emerge, and for those of us who are grateful to America for everything it represents, it is not a pretty sight.

Obama: Hopemongerer in chief

There are plenty of blogs that are sharing disturbing information regarding Barack Obama. One of the best articles and "roundups" of links has to be over at Wolf Howling.

Notice the cartoon sketch at the top of the page!

Obamamania is sweeping the secular left in the form of a messianic cult. Here is a round-up and some thoughts.

The author there created an ironic new title for Obama - "hopemongerer in chief."

I thought that this excerpt was particularly revealing:

As to the point Bookwormroom makes in her first paragraph, at the American Thinker blog, one individual wrote:

. . . Obama's speeches remind me of the sermons given by a preacher at one of those mega churches. They give feel good sermons using words like change and hope. Now a lot of conservatives go to church on a regular basis and they hear oratory like Obama gives all the time and they wonder what all the fuss is about. A lot of liberals on the other hand don't go to church and they have never heard "sermons" like this before and it really affects them emotionally. . . .

Read the entire article.

Charles Krauthammer writes:

"We are the hope of the future," sayeth Obama. We can "remake this world as it should be." Believe in me and I shall redeem not just you but your country -- nay, we can become "a hymn that will heal this nation, repair this world, and make this time different than all the rest."

(bold mine)

Remind you of anyone? Jim Jones perhaps?

Update: The Right Truth shares an email from an Obama supporter:

Out of the blue this morning, I received the following email from an Obama supporter. I had to share. Spelling etc. are exactly as I received the email. Her last name and email address are being withheld for obvious reasons:

I love the fact that people like you are on your knees with your mouth wide open.
OH OH OH NO! What has happened!

Suck on the truth you have always wanted an educated good looking black man now didn't you.

This country has had enough of your white right GWBS>)

Good buy and good riddence.

Patti

Makes you want to go out and vote Obama, doesn't it? NOT. If this is the quality of Obama supporters, we are in for real trouble. Should I reply to this email, and if so what should I say? Or should I simply put in where it belongs in the trash can?

More from Krauthammer:

. . . Interestingly, Obama has been able to win these electoral victories and dazzle crowds in one new jurisdiction after another, even as his mesmeric power has begun to arouse skepticism and misgivings among the mainstream media.

ABC's Jake Tapper notes the "Helter-Skelter cult-ish qualities" of "Obama worshipers," what Joel Stein of the Los Angeles Times calls "the Cult of Obama." Obama's Super Tuesday victory speech was a classic of the genre. Its effect was electric, eliciting a rhythmic fervor in the audience -- to such rhetorical nonsense as "We are the ones we've been waiting for. (Cheers, applause.) We are the change that we seek."

That was too much for Time's Joe Klein. "There was something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism," he wrote. "The message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is."

. . . Obama has an astonishingly empty paper trail. He's going around issuing promissory notes on the future that he can't possibly redeem. Promises to heal the world with negotiations with the likes of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Promises to transcend the conundrums of entitlement reform that require real and painful trade-offs and that have eluded solution for a generation. Promises to fund his other promises by a rapid withdrawal from an unpopular war -- with the hope, I suppose, that the (presumed) resulting increase in American prestige would compensate for the chaos to follow.

Obama and his followers have absolutely no clue as to the vileness and evil of the Islamofascist terrorist enemy. Indeed. If he is elected president - chaos would follow.

What kind of chaos? Here's one horrendous example. I am placing a link to a blog that has an actual, uncut video of a 12-year old Taliban boy beheading a hostage.

American Power blog: Strongest Possible Content Warning!

I couldn't even look at it. Had to turn my eyes away at the first sign of blood. Just reading the details there made me sick to my stomach.

I apologize, in advance, if you have chosen to view the video and it has seriously disturbed you. I can't see how it wouldn't!!!

So...why did I post the link? Because I absolutely believe that Americans need to wake up...especially the Kool-aid drinking Obama supporters on the left. If it takes a disgusting video like this to do...then so be it!

Obama would not lead our country to victory in Iraq. He has stated this himself. Thus, the terrorists would view it as American weakness and claim a victory for their evil deeds.

The naive, hopemongerer in chief ideology of Obama would be absolutely disasterous for our nation...as well as the entire world!

Radical Islamic Narco-Terrorism in the U.K.

For those who have been following the plight of blogger named Lionheart, I want to share some additional links to several blogs.

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!

Blogger Arrested: No Free Speech Rights in U.K.

My Christian brother and blogging friend Mark over at Chester Street has a post up that everyone should read!

I am doing my part to spread the word about a blogger from the U.K. who will be arrested for posting about radical Islam!

I just can't believe that it has come to this, people!! I can't believe what I am reading about that blogger from the U.K. being arrested for posting about radical Islam!

If we don't keep our freedom of speech laws intact in the United States, we will be next!

This is alarming and serious!! I never dreamed that such an assault on free speech via "political correctness" for RADICAL ISLAM would EVER affect the U.K. like this! Extremely troubling!!

Britain's Prosecution of Blogger

*******

Here is Mark's post:

Blogger arrested

Post by Wolf Howling

Freedom of speech is under assault today in Britain. A British blogger whom I read, Lionheart, has posted on his website that he expects to be arrested upon his return to the United Kingdom for things that he has posted on his blog. Likely as a result of his commentary on Islam, he will be charged with stirring up racial hatred.



Lionheart is a modern pamphleteer. He uses his blog to shine a light on the evils of radical Islam, primarily within the borders of the UK. He sees the growth of radical Islam in his country as insidious and a threat to the very existence of British culture, if not Britain itself.



Do visit his blog. Lionheart’s descriptions of what he sees in his own local community are dire. But in his language and bent, Lionheart is no different than thousands of bloggers in the U.S. who similarly note, deconstruct, and critically discuss radical Islam. He does not promote violence against Muslims.



I contacted Lionheart to get additional information about his claim that he faced imminent arrest, and he put me in contact with the attorney whom he has retained, Anthony Bennett. I spoke with Mr. Bennett, who informed me of the following facts:



1. The Bedfordshire police have contacted Lionheart to arrange for him to submit to arrest.

Islamic Warfare - The Strategy



Inside The Moslem mind



To the infidels of the West:



Constitution for the new Islamic Republic of EU and USA is under construction.



We will fight the infidel to the death.



Meanwhile American laws will protect us.



Democrats and Leftist will support us.



UNO will legitimize us.



CAIR will incubate us.



ACLU will empower us.



Western Universities will educate us.



Mosques will shelter us



OPEC will finance us



Hollywood will love us.



Koffi Annan will pass politically correct sympathetic statement for Jihadists.



Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarships. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.



We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.



We will take advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When the time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interests than US interests.



We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from very early childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with the Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyrs. We will take over Europe first and then the US will be our next target. We already have solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.



Our children will marry Caucasians in Europe and in America. We will mix with the fabric of Western society but still will remember Jihad when the time comes.



Who are we?



We are the “sleeper cells”.

July 4: What are we fighting for - Extreme lesson in contrasts!

Those who regard the Iraq war, in particular, and the war against Islamo-fascism, in general, with an attitude to "get out of Iraq" and/or "just leave the Islamists alone...and they'll go away" need to take heed of what is written in this post!

1. Equality of rights before the law: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." — Declaration of Independence

Now contrast our Declaration of Independence with this:

"Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution...Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash....Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim…then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain...Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed....Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them." — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, F. J. Goulding, translator, London, 1970.

2. Governments deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed:

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." — Declaration of Independence

Again, contrast the above with this:

Non-Muslims have "absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines." If they do, "the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life." — Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Pakistani political party Jamaat-e-Islami

Independence Day: The Reality Is Greater And Perhaps More Relevant Than The Myth

Excerpt:

The various maneuverings and many votes, New York abstained at end, were conducted in secret for fear of violent reprisals by the crown against a, theoretically speaking, now suddenly American Congress. Some might want to think on that as peoples and politicians in a still struggling and somewhat divided Iraq continue to risk their lives four years out. Because America was not free on July 4th, 1776. That took another seven years of brutal, deadly war, a war that had actually begun in 1775. Reference

The Congress reworked the text of the Declaration until a little after eleven o'clock, July 4, when the twelve colonies voted for adoption and released a copy signed only by John Hancock, President of the Congress, to the printers. (The New York delegation abstained from both votes.) Philadelphia celebrated the Declaration with public readings and bonfires on July 8. Not until August 2 would a fair printing be signed by the members of the Congress, but even that was kept secret to protect the members from British reprisals.

Point being, we do not celebrate freedom won on July 4th, only freedom proclaimed. We celebrate a beginning, an ideal, today: freedom desired, certainly not yet achieved. And for that desire, of approximately 217,000 serving, 6,188 were wounded and 4,435 died* before America was ever truly free at all, except of course perhaps where it mattered most, in the deep and resounding thump of the American patriot's heart.

And that same ideal beats strongly in the hearts of American patriots today, many, no doubt, currently serving in Iraq. And there it beats in time with the murmured heart of what might one day be a new freedom, a new nation, no longer subject to the cruel tyranny of its past: a new nation of new patriots hopefully equipped to secure the cause of freedom in its portion of the world one day soon without so much of our now necessary help.

If you are true to this day, this July 4th, a day of freedom's beginning with it's difficult end still seven long costly years off and at the time completely unknown, if you say you are true to it, yet can advocate abandoning the weaker but just as freedom longing heart we fight alongside of in Iraq, then, I'm sorry, you are no patriot of freedom at all, my friend. At least, certainly not the kind of patriot we salute today when we celebrate only the day we realized what we wanted and steeled ourselves for the long battle that lie ahead to get it, whatever the cost. I simply cannot believe any genuine patriot of freedom would deny millions of people even the slimmest of opportunities to live under the tremendous gift so many of our forefathers died to give us, the citizens of what has become the boldest and most inspiring and beautiful nation ever known to man: the United States Of America.

Very well said!

John Quincy Adams on Christianity and Islam

American Vision has published a nice excerpt from John Quincy Adams' "Unsigned essays dealing with the Russo-Turkish War, and on Greece”, written while Adams was in retirement, before his election to Congress in 1830, originally published in The American Annual Register. He wrote an eloquent description of Christianity, and a biting but equally prescient description of Islam.

In the seventh century of the Christian era a wandering Arab, of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius with the preternatural energy of a fanatic and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting, from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God, he connected indissolubly with it the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting, from the new revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust; to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature....While the merciless and dissolute are encouraged to furnish motives to human action, there never can be peace on earth and good will toward men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him.

Al-Qaida cited in persecution of 200 million Christians
Intel report says terrorist network among major perpetrators in 60 countries

Excerpt:

LONDON – A report by Britain's intelligence service MI6 reveals for the first time an estimated 200 million Christians in 60 countries are now facing persecution orchestrated, in part, by al-Qaida.

The report has been sent to the pope and church leaders. It is the first time the secret intelligence service has shared its information with religious leaders.

"We do so because we believe the situation is extremely serious," said an MI6 source.

The report is based on details from MI6 agents stationed in the countries. North Korea is identified as the world's worst repressor of Christians. More than 50,000 Christians are incarcerated in work camps because they refuse to submit to the extreme views rigorously enforced by the country's dictator, Kim Jong-il.

An estimated 40,000 Christians are imprisoned in China for their beliefs. The MI6 analysis calculates there are some 70 million "active Christians" in the People's Republic, all living in a climate of fear because of their beliefs.

And the Democrats still want us to believe that there is no global "war on terror"? They have their heads in the sand!!

Despicable Actions by Cowardly Islamic Terrorists

If anyone still had any doubt about the despicable, awful, disgusting, wretched and cowardly methods that these evil Islamic terrorists would stoop to, the murder-sacrifice of these two children in the recent homicide car bomb incident should remove all doubt.

Remember this horrific incident?

Let's take a look at what God has to say about despicable actions such as child murder-sacrifice:

Lev 20:1 THEN the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Lev 20:2 "Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: 'Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

Lev 20:3 'I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.

History tells us that the awful practice of sacrificing children to the gods was a common thing in ancient religions. The Ammonites, Israel's neighbore, made child sacrifice to Molech (their national false god)a vital part of their religion. They saw this as the greatest gift they could offer to ward off evil or appease angry gods.

Do you still have any doubt that the so-called god "allah" is a false god? This should remove all doubt, people.

The God of the Bible made it clear that this practice was detestable and strictly forbidden. In Old Testament times as well as New, his character made human sacrifice unthinkable. (This includes, BTW, the detestable practice of abortion too) .

Allah is not God.

Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God. For more proof of this fact, you can read an article written by Hal Lindsey here and a comparison article here.

The one and only True God of the Universe who is revealed in the Bible as well as through the Person of Jesus Christ differs, like night and day, from the god called "allah."

Allah is just another pagan god.

Now, I realize that in our "politically correct" culture, my statements are considered "intolerant".

Well, so be it.

I speak the truth and those who don't like it can keep their heads in the sand and continue believing whatever they choose. But I am telling you what is true, according to the Bible, my friends.

The following is a brief list about the differences between the type of god that allah followers worship and the God of the Bible.

1. Unlike the pagan gods, our God is a God of love, who does not need to be appeased (Exodus 34:6).

2. He is a God of life, who prohibits murder and encourages practices that lead to health and happiness (Deuteronomy 30:15, 16).

3. He is God of the helpless, who shows special concern for children (Psalm 72:4).

4. He is a God of unselfishness, who instead of demanding blood gives his life for others (Isaiah 53:4, 5).

Let's look at what Jesus had to say about hindering children from coming to Him:


Mat 19:13
Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

Mat 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Mat 19:15
And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

(See also Mark 10:14, Luke 18:16)

Jesus is God the Son! He is the God of Love, and also the Judge of the universe. Look at the judgment he makes upon anyone who would hurt little children:

Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Luk 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Quite harsh, isn't it? That is the perilous end of perpetrators such as these cowardly Islamic terrorist adults who fled from the car and then detonated the bomb. Justice will one day be served; whether it be leveled against them in this world or in eternity...

Do we even need to question why Jesus' words included such severe judgment?

The answer is because of the nature of children. They are very trusting of the adults in their lives and through the trust of adults, their capacity to trust God grows. God holds parents and other adults who influence young children accountable. Why? Precisely because the adults in a child's life affect each individual child's ability to trust. Period. Jesus warned that anyone who turns little children away from faith will receive severe punishment.

Matthew 18:7-9 describes Jesus' disgust towards any adult who would cause children to sin. Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, we see child molestation as horrendous, too.

As I have stated in previous posts (and the documentary "Obsession" clearly shows) the radical Islamist teachings that are going on in mosques and schools in the Middle East are hell-bent on steering even the youngest of children towards sinful beliefs. By affecting their minds and hearts in such a terrible way, they are taught to strap suicide belts on themselves and be brainwashed into believing that blowing themselves up in the name of "allah" is a worthy cause. It's an detestable abomination!!

Still don't believe this is happening? See Newsbusters blog with photo of a child wearing a suicide bombing vest.

In Mark 9:42:47,48, we find out how seriously Jesus views sin.


Mar 9:43
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

Mar 9:44
"where
'Their worm does not die,
And the fire is not quenched.'

Mar 9:45
"And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

Mar 9:46
"where
'Their worm does not die,
And the fire is not quenched.'

Mar 9:47
"And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire--

Mar 9:48
"where
'Their worm does not die,
And the fire is not quenched.'

These may appear to be strange words to us. However, when we learn what the Jews at that time knew them to mean, we get a horrifying, yet accurate picture of why Jesus tells us to avoid hell. To the Jews, "worms and fire" represented both internal and external pain. Jesus gave us a word picture of the seriousness and eternal consequences of sin.

Isa 66:24
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Jesus emphasizes the need to be converted through him:

Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Update at 4:17 p.m. Charles over at LGF said in a comment about the car bombing story, “There are no words.” Apparently, saying such a thing about this horrific incident is another example of the "hate" mantra of the loonie left. Does this just prove the point that they would label absolutely anything as "hate" in their minds??

Charles:

"If that’s “hate,” then I’m guilty. I do hate people who murder children to serve a twisted Islamic supremacist ideology. String me up."

...because they don’t want their leftist echo chamber exposed to any uncomfortable realities.

Obsession: Radical Islam's War & Nazi Germany Connection

Over in the American Liberals Just Don't Get It thread, my blogging friend Limpy said this:

"I don't really see any parallels between radical Islam and Nazi germany frankly."

If you would take the time to see the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West you would absolutely see the parallels between the two.

I just saw the entire documentary last night and they included video proof that the Mufti (can't recall his name) in Israel during the time of WWII shared Hitler's vision of extermination of the Jews!

As Walid Shoebat (former PLO terrorist turned born-again Christian) has stated, the fact that radical Islam wants to kill all infidels (not just Jews) and that their radical worldview tells us that they do so for religious reasons (for "allah") makes them even more dangerous than the Nazis who followed the lead of the Fuhrer.

There is definitely a connection, Limpy. It's just that most of the public doesn't know about it.

This CNN clip shows (among many other things) how the Muslim propaganda is very similar to the Nazi propaganda that duped young men into becoming Nazis. The Muslim youth go further. They are willing to strap bombs on and blow themselves up just to take as many "infidels" as possible in death. They celebrate death for allah over there.

Christians celebrate life through Jesus Christ here.

They hate us because their call in life is a worldview bent on promoting Jihad around the world.

You think that if we just pulled out the jihadists would leave Iraq alone?

Don't you see that if such a thing happened, it would demonstrate to the terrorists that the United States is weak, wants to cut-and-run when the going gets tough, and doesn't keep her promises to the new, fragile Iraqi government there?

I wish that I could find a transcript of the Obsession movie and share it on my blog. It is THE most important documentary of our time and EVERYONE needs to see it!

Here's a YouTube of about 9 minutes of the film.

The entire film is about 1 hour in length.

Admittedly, it may be hard for many to believe the connection between the Nazis and radical Islam unless they see the rare footage of the meetings between Hitler and the Mufti back in the 40's.

Wait! Just found a clip about it here:Hitler and the Mufti

Here's the Obsession website's 12 minute version.

Unfortunately, it is true that many Americans are losing their will to allow our government to send troops and continue the fight. If our government listens to the naysayers, the results will be a bloodbath in Iraq the likes that the world has never seen before. Iran and Syria will pounce upon that nation and take it over so that it will become a haven to recruit, train and finance radical Islamic terrorists into their hateful ideology. The children will continue to be brainwashed with the propaganda used by radical Islamic leaders (this is well depicted in the documentary...actual footage of it happening!!) and the cycle of violence will continue into the next generation!!

The U.S., Britain, and a few other countries have stood up against a takeover of Iraq by Islamo-facists over the past 4 years. Leaving now would be the WORST move.

At least I know that President Bush will not do that.

But, if a Democratic, liberal-left-cut-and-run candidate gets elected to the office of the presidency in 2008...

God help us!!

Video of Nonie Darwish and Wayne Kopping (Director of "Obsession"

Transcript of Hannity & Colmes segment

In both of the above, Nonie Darwish reveals the truth about the comparison of Nazi ideology and Islamo-fascism:

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Hey, Nonie, it's Sean Hannity here. Your father had a fascinating life. He headed the Egyptian military in Gaza and the Sinai when Gaza was under Egyptian control in the '50s. He was killed in 1956 in jihad against Israel.

DARWISH: That's correct, and the cycle is still going on. The Fedayeen of yesterday are now becoming Hezbollah and all of these terror groups. And enough is enough. We moderate Arab voices, and you'll see in the movie several of us speaking against terrorism. The ayatollahs and the sheiks, the hateful, self-anointed sheiks who are condemning the Middle East to a permanent state of war, this condition has to end.

HANNITY: Well, I guess, if we're going to use an analogy, Nonie, for example, you could look at Hitler in his writing. You could look at Hitler in his actions. Hitler was battling against civilization. We see the exact same thing happening here.

I mean, you're showing real images from real Arab television, and it is a real insiders' view. You see the children, their indoctrination, their hatred of the West. It's like we are sitting — we've been lulled into a sleep when it's the rise of Nazism just before our eyes. Isn't there a similarity here?

DARWISH: Very much so. And I'm very happy that at least the film "Obsession" is showing that angle, because unfortunately the media doesn't get the translations of Arab television. What's happening in mosques, the hate speech, and the cursing of Jews, and non-Muslims, and Christians, we have to stand up to our religion and take it back from these hateful people.

HANNITY: You know something, I am glad to hear you say that, because the people that are being killed the most it seems right now are Muslims, are being killed by the Islamic fascists.

Obsession Documentary Update

A few weeks ago, my order of the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War With the West arrived. With the rush of the holiday season, I have not been able to view it. I have already seen it once via YouTube (before it was censored by Google...the new owners of YouTube) and it is truly an eye opening and gripping display of what we are facing in this global war against terrorism.

I also sent a copy to a liberal relative of mine, and she was totally shocked about what she saw in the movie! I have been telling her all along that she is not getting the whole picture or truth from the mainstream media about why winning the Iraq war is so important and how the goals of radical Islam are quite similar to nazism and communism.

The worldwide goal of nazism was atheistic in nature and they wanted to to eradicate the Jews from existence. The worldwide goal of communism involved atheistic domination and rule over all people under their government. The worldwide goal of radical Islam is religious domination , oppression, and rule over (or, more likely death to... ) those (especially the Christian and Jewish infidels) who do not bow the knee to their false god, allah.

The following is an email that I received today which contains updates on how this documentary is changing minds and waking people up to the long battle that we are up against in our fight to eradicate radical Islamo-fascist terrorists.

Stepping Out From Muslim Silence

In my discussions with liberal democrats, I have found that they usually tend to follow the lead of their political leaders without considering why conservative republicans still support President Bush, and the war an terror in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Several days ago, I posted a link to YouTube videos of OBSESSION: THE NEW DOCUMENTARY ABOUT RADICAL ISLAM’S WAR AGAINST THE WEST.

Funny thing.

Not a peep about it from the liberals who usually post here.

Why not?

IMMEDIATE UPDATE! I JUST WENT BACK TO THE SITE ABOVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THE LINKS AND SADLY, GOOGLE IS PRACTICING CENSORSHIP!!

[addendum: Google has now finished taking over YouTube. They immediately removed most conservative orientated content, including clips of this video. Sorry folks! I have no control over internet censorship!

You can buy the movie on dvd, just check the web. Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West]


"Obsession" is one of the most powerful, expertly crafted and undeniably important films I’ve seen this year. This courageous, utterly gripping expose’ deserves the attention of every American — and merits serious consideration for the Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary."

— Michael Medved Nationally Syndicated Radio Host Film Critic, "Eye on Entertainment"

Now we see another brave woman stepping out of the echo of Muslim silence to state the truth about how women are terribly treated by radical Islam. She risks her life to do so, too!

In this Reader's Digest article, called Breaking the Silence, Wafa Sultan was stunned when she was asked to be interviewed by the infamous Al Jazeera TV network.

An excerpt:

Wafa was stunned. She was not a professional writer, much less a scholar on the Middle East. Though she had grown up in Syria, she had called California home for 16 years, and her days were now completely devoted to her family.

Then again, she did have strong opinions about Islamic extremism, and she was utterly unafraid to express them. So if Al Jazeera wanted to talk to a wife and mother in Los Angeles about this important subject, sure, why not? Wafa accepted. What no one could have guessed was that she was about to become a controversial new voice in the Islamic world -- and for many moderate Muslims, a model of courage.

A model of courage. Definitely!! When you read her story, I guarantee that you will think so, too.

Wafa Sultan grew up in Baniyas, Syria.

One day, Wafa sat in a lecture hall with 200 other students, listening to her professor of ophthalmology, Yusef Al Yusef. Suddenly she heard the crack of gunfire and then saw her teacher crumple to the floor. A group of men stood next to the body, guns extended, shouting, "God is great! God is great!" in Arabic. The killers, Muslim extremists, quickly ran out, leaving the students staring at their dead instructor.

Deeply troubled by this fundamentalist violence, Wafa was further shaken when she became a doctor in a large hospital. Newly married to an engineering professor, she came home from work with disturbing stories of treating victims of domestic abuse. Women would walk in with black eyes, bruised backs, broken bones. Wafa could mend their wounds and listen to their complaints, but she couldn't discuss openly what she saw as the root cause: a culture that demands total deference to men, amplified by extremist beliefs.

She and her husband moved to Los Angeles CA.

She took part in the social life of the local Muslim community, yet insisted that her children "live the American life." They were taught English from the start, and while they can understand Arabic, the younger two don't speak it to this day. But the culture Wafa left behind was never far from her mind. She started writing opinion pieces on women, Islam and radicalism for the local Arabic press. Wafa was careful not to be openly critical of religion, instead questioning an interpretation of Islam that seemed to breed terrorists and wife-beaters.

Even so, some thought Wafa had gone too far. After one editorial came out, she received a phone call from a man who warned that "even in America, there are limits." The person on the line claimed to be from a prominent Islamic organization. Intimidation of this sort made Wafa nervous and her editors more timid.

Then came September 11. Watching the World Trade Center towers fall on her television screen, Wafa felt enraged and emboldened. "I don't care anymore. I will write what I want," she told David. Too few people were speaking the truth about radical Islam and she, for one, would stop holding back.

This is still true, for the most part, today. Who could blame her if she did hold back? With death threats being hurled towards her and her family every day, she still presses on to share the hard, bold truth.

Earlier this summer, Wafa said she was "in hiding" with her family due to threats she still receives daily. Most are via the Internet. "I will be your killer," reads one e-mail. Another message, left on her answering machine, said, "Oh, you are still alive? Wait and see." Fiercely protective of her children, Wafa tries to shield her youngest daughter from the menacing messages, though the girl is aware of them.

Wafa has also paid a price within the Muslim community in Los Angeles. Before she became a known activist, she had a busy social life with other Middle Eastern women. Today, few of her old friends remain. "They begged me to stop," she explains of the women in her circle. Some feared for her life; others reviled her message. Wafa summarizes their reaction this way: "You can't make any change, so why are you risking your life?"

Her answer is that she is uniquely positioned to reform the culture she came from. She is educated, a gifted writer, a captivating speaker and -- unusual for a Muslim reformer -- a woman. Most crucially, she has the courage to say things that others are thinking but won't express.

Amen Wafa!

She is now focused on a book she's writing, titled The Escaped Prisoner: When Allah Is a Monster. Asked if she will soften her stance to appeal to a broader audience, she replies, "Not under any circumstances." After half a lifetime trapped in silence, she has found her voice.

That's a book that I want to read!
