The Looming "Islamization" of Europe

Even though the original blog post was about John McCain's new ad which describes that "Obama is leading an extreme left wing crusade to bankrupt America", it was a certain comment within the thread that caught my attention. A commentator over at GateWay Pundit posted a comment that was so good and informative about the goal of the Islamization of all nations, that I thought I would include it here as a blog post.

OT.. “Crusade”

Czech archbishop warns of Europe’s ‘islamization’

[PRAGUE—Outgoing Prague archbishop and head of Czech Catholics Miloslav Vlk warned of a looming "islamization" of Europe in an interview published in Prague on Tuesday.

"Europe has denied its Christian roots from which it has risen and which could give it the strength to fend off the danger that it will be conquered by Muslims -- which is actually happening gradually," Vlk said.

"If Europe doesn't change its relation to its own roots, it will be islamized," the 77-year-old cardinal, who was named Prague archbishop by pope John Paul II in 1991, added on his website http://www.kardinal.cz/.

He blamed immigration and Muslims' high birth rate for helping Muslims to "easily fill the vacant space created as Europeans systematically empty the Christian content of their lives".

"At the end of the Middle Ages and in the early modern age, Islam failed to conquer Europe with arms. The Christians beat them then," Vlk said.

"Today, when the fighting is done with spiritual weapons which Europe lacks while Muslims are perfectly armed, the fall of Europe is looming," added the cardinal.

Vlk, who was persecuted by the former communist regime toppled in 1989, offered his resignation as Catholic bishop two years ago -- at age 75, in line with Church rules, but Pope Benedict XVI extended his term by two years then.

Vlk's successor should be named this
week, according to Czech media.]

Boiling The Infidel Frog

“The fifty million Muslims in Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades. [..] Europe is in a predicament, and so is America. They should agree to become Islamic in the course of time”

Notice what is written at the SIOE Stop Islamization Of Europe site. It bears repeating here:

What Islam Isn’t

By Dr. Peter HammondFrontPageMagazine.com Monday, April 21, 2008

The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat:


Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. – Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

I think that America, as a nation, needs to heed these warnings! What are you thoughts about this?

The Role Of Deception In Islamic Terrorism & Achieving a Caliphate

In the wake of the firestorm of deserved criticism hurled against the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, for his absolutely ridiculous and extremely naive and unintelligent comments regarding the Muslim Brotherhood, I have done some online research and found two very important articles that every American needs to read!

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs:
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood: In Their Own Words

Whenever you hear the news organizations discuss the need for Egypt to reform towards democracy, remember this warning from the article above:

Democracy Is Islam's Entryway to Power

I have already posted the following comment in the comment section of my previous post here at Talk Wisdom, but it helps to explain why the term "democracy" can mean different things to different people:

9:50 pm February 10, 2011
Don Bistrow wrote:
Obama likes to use the word Democracy but never in the context of a Constitutional Republic.

He does believe in a “majority” as in “we won.” However, Obama doesn’t care for the system in the United States.

So as Obama calls for a transition to Democracy and his own National Intelligence Director believes the Muslim Brotherhood is secular and has sworn off violence and/or terrorism we do wonder what Mr. Obama is actually asking for.

He and his administration of had conflicting statements and relied on press releases because they failed to have intelligence although they did have information of simmering problems one-year ago in which they ignored the valid warnings.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/08/AR2011020805786.html

Obama has now failed miserably domestically and internationally. He must go.

What an excellent observation! Have you ever heard Obama utter the words "Constitutional Republic" when describing the type of government that was established by the Founders?

Obama likes to use the word Democracy but never in the context of a Constitutional Republic.

Glenn Beck has been describing what the Muslim Brotherhood represents IN THEIR OWN WORDS on video and in written articles all week on his television program. The following article challenges the reader and helps confirm the ignorance of the left who are currently complicit in naively trusting that the Muslim Brotherhood is a so-called "moderate" organization (as Clapper so ignorantly stated).

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs: The Muslim Brotherhood: A Moderate Islamic Alternative to al-Qaeda or a Partner in Global Jihad?

The second article (above link) is an impressive evaluation of how authors named "Leiken and Brooke" have been duped into believing that the Muslim Brotherhood is (or ever could be) a moderate organization. The following is the concluding thoughts of the author:

Conclusion and Evaluation

The thesis presented by Leiken and Brooke was inspired by impressions received during conversations with members of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose names are not mentioned and who are quoted neither fully nor accurately. It is clear that both Leiken and Brooke were duped by the ambiguity of their interlocutors' rhetoric, which was tailored for Western ears and meant to lull suspicions and hide genuine intentions. Leiken and Brooke were deeply impressed by the support given by the Muslim Brotherhood for "democracy," but they failed to understand that for the Muslim Brotherhood and the West, the word has two completely different meanings. As far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned, Islamic rule expresses "true democracy," and that is the only kind to which they are committed.

The Muslim Brotherhood poses a serious threat to the West. It hides behind ambiguous terminology, which makes the organization appear moderate and enables it to operate freely in its host countries, thereby establishing a convenient base from which to disseminate radical Islamic ideology among the growing Muslim communities. Once that has been achieved, demography and radically-minded public opinion will enable the Muslim Brotherhood to take over a government by "democratic" means. That will signal the last day of Western democracy in that country and the installation of an Islamic government, whose objective will be to export radical Islamic rule to other countries, the next step in realizing the vision of a world Caliphate. In Europe the sand is running out, and a showdown with the Muslim Brotherhood is closer than anyone suspects. However, to a certain extent, the focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict delays the realization of Islamic aspirations in Western Europe.

As far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned, Spain is an occupied country, as are other regions in Europe that were once under Islamic control. The organization's "pragmatism" is manifested by its willingness to postpone a confrontation until it has garnered sufficient political (or military) power to shake the ruling governments to their foundations and effect a complete reversal. The collapse of the moderate Arab regimes into radical Islamic hands is likely to accelerate the empowering of an Islamic state that regards the West and its culture as the chief enemy.

The Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda differ regarding tactics but share a common strategy. Al-Qaeda favors world Islamic recruitment for a revolution made possible by terrorist attacks and an implacable jihad to destroy the economies of the Western countries and expel Western presence from Muslim regions. The Muslim Brotherhood supports terrorism and jihad against foreign presence in the Islamic world, but its top priority is constructing a Muslim infrastructure in the West that will slowly but surely enable it to rule during the 21st century. The organization's stance is that an Al-Qaeda attack against the West at this time might hamper the Islamic movement's buildup and focus the West on the threat implicit in Muslim communities. However, as far as the final goal is concerned, there are no policy differences between Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. The two organizations have the same objective: to place the entire world under an Islamic caliphate.

The Muslim Brotherhood is involved in terrorism and provides religious Islamic justification for suicide bombing, terrorism, and terrorist attacks against American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Jihad in all its aspects, including military, is perceived as the prime tool in the battle against the West. It is difficult to find a common set of interests for the United States and the Muslim Brotherhood, as do Leiken and Brooke. Collaboration with the Muslim Brotherhood, while turning a blind eye to their intentions, both overt and hidden, is tantamount to paving the way for their "democratic" takeover of the moderate Arab regimes (similar to the bitter experience of the Legislative Council elections in the Palestinian Authority in January 2006) and for harming the United States' most vital interests in the Middle East. It is not easy to understand why Leiken and Brooke have recommended that the American administration consider the Muslim Brotherhood a potential partner, given that the United States is its principal enemy. The organization actively seeks to destroy America's status as a world power and to replace it with an Islamic power whose foreign policy will be based on jihad and the spread of Islam.

If you don't believe the truth that the author of these articles reveals, then take a look at an additional opinion:

'Muslim' Obama Story Draws Heat

1. Washington Post Draws Heat for ‘Muslim’ Obama Story


The Washington Post has been criticized for a story examining reports of Barack Obama’s “Muslim ties” — but the article’s editor says he is “a little puzzled” that readers didn’t recognize that the intent was to discredit those reports.

“I’m sorry it was misunderstood,” said Assistant Managing Editor Bill Hamilton. “It obviously makes me think about how I edited it.”

The Nov. 29 Post story — headlined “Foes Use Obama’s Muslim Ties to Fuel Rumors About Him” — said the Democratic presidential candidate “has had to address assertions that he is a Muslim and that he had received training in Islam in Indonesia, where he lived from ages 6 to 10…

“Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama is a Muslim, a ‘Muslim plant’ in a conspiracy against America, and that, if elected, he would take the oath of office using a Koran, rather than a Bible.”

Obama is a member of a congregation of the United Church of Christ in Chicago.

The Post story does note that Obama aides “sharply disputed” stories that he was a Muslim, and cites an “early rumor” springing from an article in the online magazine Insight that Obama had spent at least four years in a madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia. The magazine attributed this assertion to background information collected by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, according to the Post.

In the wake of the Post story, “there have been angry e-mails… and allegations that the Post is swift-boating the Illinois senator by discussing rumors at length, without mentioning whether they’ve been thoroughly discredited by other media,” The Politico reports.

Columbia Journalism Review’s Paul McLeary complained in an online piece that the Post mentioned the Insight article without adding that a CNN reporter flew to Indonesia almost 11 months ago and debunked it.

McLeary said the Post story “may be the single worst campaign ’08 piece to appear in any American newspaper so far this election cycle.”

Hamilton countered that “saying something is a rumor is not saying it’s true. We didn’t say it was a false rumor. To me, a rumor is not true.”

But he conceded to The Politico: “Obviously we did something that we should have been careful about.”

A volunteer coordinator for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign recently resigned after forwarding a chain e-mail that suggested Obama is a Muslim who wants to destroy the U.S. by being elected to its highest office.

A poll in August by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 45 percent of respondents would be less likely to vote for a Muslim candidate for any office.

LGF: AP Changes Obama/Muslim Connection Story

Excerpt:

As we noted yesterday, the Associated Press released a story stating that Barack Obama had been a Muslim in his childhood. This is the original version of their lead paragraph:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think voters have a litmus test on religion, whether evangelical Christianity or his childhood years in the Muslim faith.

Later, the AP article was changed to read:

IOWA FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think voters have a litmus test on religion, whether evangelical Christianity or his childhood years in a largely Muslim country.

News Roundup 2/12/07

So, is it really just a rumor or could there be some truth to these allegations?

Lots of articles and blogposts to read and see for yourself!

Here's a very interesting one from the list:

Barack Obama Apostate From Islam?

Excerpt:

Today, [Note: written @ 8 months ago] the LA Times reports that a childhood friend of Obama’s claims that he did attend Friday prayers at the mosque–

The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. “We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played, said Zulfin Adi, who describes himself as among Obama’s closest childhood friends.

“His mother often went to the church, but Barry was Muslim. He went to the mosque,” Adi said. “I remember him wearing a sarong.


Additionally, the LA Times recounts statements made by Barack Obama’s third- and fourth-grade teacher
“At that time, Barry was also praying in a Catholic way, but Barry was Muslim,” Dharmawan said in Obama’s old classroom, where she still teaches 39 years later. “He was registered as a Muslim because his father, Lolo Soetoro, was Muslim.”

The Times additionally reports that Obama was a registered Muslim and attended weekly religious instruction on the Koran, the Muslim holy book–

Bugs have eaten Obama’s file in the [middle] school’s archive, said Vice Principal Hardi Priyono. But two of his teachers, former Vice Principal Tine Hahiyari and third-grade teacher Effendi, said they remember clearly that at this school too, he was registered as a Muslim, which determined what class he attended during weekly religion lessons.

BUGS have EATEN OBAMA'S FILE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL'S ARCHIVES?

Is that just code word for getting rid of files that they don't want to get out for public viewing? Sounds like the Muslim version of the Sandy Berger theft escapades!

This is just all too suspicious, people. He and his "people" obviously are actively hiding something...

Oprah and all the rest of Obama's minnions must have blinders on.

The more that I read about this guy, the less I trust him. Lies, omissions, and cover-ups galore!

And... it all could spell danger for our nation if he's ever elected to the presidency.

I've Got Questions For Obama

I know that I probably sound like a broken record. But, the more I find out about Barack Obama, the more alarmed I become that this is a man that could ever be considered as a candidate for president.

In her article, Obama, the Muslim Thing, And Why It Matters author Pamela Geller shares many highly important reasons why Obama needs to answer certain questions.

Excerpt:

Every Muslim who left Islam is very definitive about leaving and why. They are quite vocal - Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Walid Shoebat, Elijah Abraham, etc. If he left Islam, Obama must have very definite thoughts about it. He has to, he practiced Islam. That is not benign; it's big. And even if, as inferred by big media, it was not big to him, then he can still appreciate how important it is knowing what he knows about Islam and apostasy.

Obama would have had to make a decision to reject Islam. When did he make that decision? How? Why the silence? Why the reluctance to talk about it?

Apostasy is punishable by death in Islam. Have there been calls for Obama's death? If not, why not? Islam gives no free passes.

Obama's posture on this is hard to define or understand, because it is a critical issue.

Transitional issues facing this nation and the world at large - the world at war, creeping sharia, the perversion of the rights of free men, individuals, women, etc., hang in the balance on the make up of the next president of the United States. The stakes could not be higher domestically.

On foreign policy, Europe has laid down. The political elites have capitulated to Islamists and to multiculturalists. Suicide. It seems unclear that they could hold up their end even if America did the heavy lifting.

Pamela brings up questions that I want answered. However, as the liberal leftist media "darling" who has graced countless political news magazine covers, I doubt that anyone (other than Bill O'Reilly, if he learns about these issues and gets the opportunity to question him) would ever even dream of asking Obama such questions. Obama is sure to avoid any conservative radio and/or T.V. talk show host who would be alert to ask about these concerns. Could you ever imagine Obama on Michael Savage's radio show? Never happen! Obama is sure to remain in the bubble of celebrity where he is so adored, protected and never subjected to being asked the hard questions.

Isn't it ironic that two of the four top contenders for the Republican nomination have been asked several questions regarding their faith during the debates?

Not so for the Democrats!

Noooooooooo!

They get a free pass in that area.

The additional information shared in the following portion of Geller's essay is also very disturbing:

The recent revelations of Obama's ties to Raila Odinga in Kenya are disconcerting as well, because Odinga is behind the terrible violence in his country. It was he who instigated bloody riots and killing after he lost the election. Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenyan government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge." And while there are few angels in Kenya, Odinga is the source of great unrest and turmoil; and the MOU he signed with the Muslim Council to institute sharia is a foreshadowing of a dark fate for Kenya. (A Jacksonian picked up on my previous post on this and wrote a lengthy, well-researched piece on the politics and back story on Odinga.) Just how quickly will Kenya go Islamic?

Pamela writes:

"...do not embrace change for the sake of change - the impossible new buzzword on the campaign trail."

I agree! We must ask these questions!

I've got questions for Obama...

*******
Update 1/13/08 @ 9:08 a.m. PT

I am not the only one who has questions about Obama:

The following is a copy of a Newsmax email:

Was Barack Obama a Muslim?

The issue of Barack Obama’s possible Muslim past has re-emerged with conflicting reports about the presidential candidate’s childhood in Islamic Indonesia.

The controversy was initially touched off in early 2007 when several media outlets reported that Obama had attended a radical madrasa, or Islamic school, when he lived in Indonesia.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs quickly countered with a statement: “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.”

The reports about the radical madrasa turned out to be false. But in March 2007, Gibbs amended his previous statement, telling the Los Angeles Times: “Obama has never been a practicing Muslim,” the key word being “practicing.”

Obama, his Kansas-born mother and Muslim stepfather moved to Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, in 1967, and Obama lived there from ages 6 to 10.

The Times sent a reporter to Jakarta to investigate Obama’s childhood years there, and published an article on March 16 that included these details:

A close boyhood friend of Obama, Zulfin Adi, said Barack “was a Muslim. He went to the mosque.”

Obama’s first-grade teacher at a Catholic school, Israella Dharmawan, said: “Barry (Barack’s nickname) was Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim because his father was Muslim.”
In the third grade, Obama transferred to a public school, where he was also registered as a Muslim. At the school, Muslim students attended weekly religion lessons about Islam.

In his autobiography, “Dreams From My Father,” Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as “a Muslim school.”

More recently, Middle East Forum director Daniel Pipes wrote on FrontPageMag.com that his research led him to conclude that “Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian stepfather.”

But on Jan. 2, the liberal organization Media Matters for America (MMfA) took issue with Pipes’ report, criticized him for relying too heavily on the Times article, which it claimed was “disputed,” in an effort to “revive Obama-Muslim falsehood.”

Media Matters cited a March 25 article by Kim Baker in the Chicago Tribune that challenged several assertions in the Times story. Barker wrote that boyhood friend Adi “was not certain” about his statements regarding Obama’s childhood and that he “only knew Obama for a few months.”

The Media Matters Web posting stated: “Additionally, the Tribune reported that ‘interviews with dozens of former classmates, teachers, neighbors and friends show that Obama was not a regular practicing Muslim when he was in Indonesia.’”

Media Matters also said that “Pipes did not note that Obama’s Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, has been described in the Tribune as ‘much more of a free spirit than a devout Muslim.’”

Pipes fired back with a FrontPageMag.com article on Jan. 7, titled “Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam.”

Pipes asked if any of the information from the Chicago Tribune article refutes “my analysis, as MMfA contends. It raises questions about two details in the Los Angeles Times account — the accuracy of the Catholic school’s registration form and the reliability of Zulfin Adi as a source on Obama. But on the larger issue of Obama’s religious practices during his Jakarta years, it confirms the Times account.”

Pipes concludes: “Therefore, what MMfA calls the ‘Obama-Muslim’ falsehood’ is in fact confirmed by both articles as truthful and accurate.”

And he adds: “All this matters, for if Obama once was a Muslim, he is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. Were he elected president of the Untied States, this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.”

The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America

I have found another book that I must read! Just read about it on Mark Levin's Facebook page.

The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America
www.amazon.com
The real threat to the United States is not terrorism. The real threat is Islamism, whose sophisticated forces have collaborated with the American Left not only to undermine U.S. national security but also to shred the fabric of American constitutional democracy—freedom and individual liberty. ...

What is interesting to note is the following copy of a review of the book by a PERSON who was raised in a Muslim country in a Muslim family and society! [Note: The author of the review has chosen not to capitalize "islam," "muslim," and "mohammad."]

Here is a copy of the review:

88 of 92 people found the following review helpful:
As one raised in islam, I am amazed that a westerner finally gets islam & terrorist connections, May 24, 2010
By LOVE "TRUTH-Seeker" (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America (Hardcover)
As one who was raised in a muslim country in a muslim family and society, I often find books by westerners trying to describe islam through western paradigms to fail to grasp the reality of islam. Finally someone breaks through all the political correctness and presents true islam as clearly compatible with Jihad. To the surprise of many westerners, for 1300+ years, since the prophet of islam, mohammad himself practiced jihad as he took out 600+ Jews and beheaded them in front of the faithful muslim leaders following mohammad's understanding of God.

This author rightly presents the reality that many wonderful muslim neighbors do not want sharia law! They are muslim culturally because their parents were muslims, but they want to be able to walk in public with members of opposite sex, play chess, play soccer, have a drink every now & then, have fun and live a happy life. True Islamic sharia law practiced by muslims for centuries requires the mullahs or imams of the nation to tell all muslims what they can and cannot do. If mohammad can take a 6 year old girl as a bride along with his other teenage wives and concubines and slaves, then muslims are taught that it is right for all muslims. If mohammad told us to hate all nonmuslims, including his final words prior to his surprise death, that we are all to hate Christians and Jews and behead all who will not submit to sharia law, then all faithful muslims are supposed to accept mohamamad's words as divine and imitate his lifestyle.

Under modern nonrestrictive interpretations of first amendment, the author rightly points out that the mastermind of the 1993 NY bombing under Clinton, laid out his case that as a muslim religious ruler, he was free to issue Islamic fatwas to destroy the lives of innocent nonmuslims. Shockingly, ACLU & liberal westerners are falling for this argument now more than ever . Under President Bush, even the muslims who succeeded in blowing up the towers on 9/11 were given muslim freedoms to continue to read the quran and live by the islamic sharia law while in prison. Subsequently, when some of the muslims were released from American prisons, they immediately went back to fulfill their Islamic call to destroy all infidels. Sadly, under hussein obama , we have accelerated our downfall as president obama has opened the door for muslim terrorists to believe they now have the strong upper hand and multiple terrorist attacks in America only failed because of The Grace of God. Shockingly hussein obama told the world that America is one of the largest muslim nations in the world and disavowed all Christian connections of the early founders of America.

The author of this book lays out a strong logical case for the reality of islam and the fact that majority of all muslims around the world who would not personally murder others, are fully in support of the muslim jihad terrorists; and the few that do not support the Islamic sharia law but call themselves "muslim" are only culturally Islamic, while walking against Islamic law as practiced by mohammad and muslims for 1300+ years.

This book will trouble the politically correct and western minded intellectuals who do not understand islam or those who are fooled by quotes of earlier quran revelations that were abrogated/overruled by the prophet of islam himself once he had the power to establish sharia law.

Every American and westerner should read this book and look up quran and hadith and Islamic history to determine the real Islamic threat so we can deal with the problem of terrorism at its root, rather than make up false causes for muslim inspired terrorists like poverty or illiteracy. As everyone knows by now, muslim terrorists were engineers, doctors psychiatrists and professors of islam and often very well off. They simply followed the iman/faith where islam led them. For us to win the battle against terror, we must first agree on the honest root cause well documented in this book, so we can finally address the tough needed solution for peace in our lands for all people! To have our troops die on the battlefield only to then establish sharia law and even open a center to promote sharia law where 9/11 muslims succeeded is utter foolishness that will lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of innocent around the world. Hope we wake up before that time! This book helps get us on the right starting point.

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!

Wondering If Obama is a Muslim?

Many people have wondered whether or not Obama is secretly (or, as his actions favor Islam - now viewed as openly) a Muslim. Or, is he just highly sympathetic to their cause? How much evidence does one need to formulate a well thought out conclusion on this subject? Do actions speak louder than words? Do words matter? These are the questions that I would like readers to consider while reading this post.

Back during the election campaign of 2008, I wrote a post where I asked the question, Is Obama Really a Christian? My own individual conclusion is that Obama is not a Christian. You can read the evidence that has exposed this truth to me at that link and through other links at this blog. Be sure to read through the comments for additional insight, too.

The day that Obama covered up the cross of Christ behind the podium at a church where he was "speaking" is something that no true Christian would EVER DO!! PERIOD!!

Since Obama isn't a Christian - what is he? Many people have noticed that he has had a Muslim upbringing (via his stepfather). He also claims that his mother was an atheist.

However, since election day, what have we observed about Obama that might give us hints as to his religious affiliation?

There are numerous articles, videos, and blog posts that I could include here. In order to not make this post too lengthy, I will choose just a few of the more recent ones that could give us a good sense of where Obama's loyalties really lie.

1. Over at RepubX there is a compilation video entitled: Wondering if Obama is Muslim? Wonder no More.

2. In the comment section of this Citizen Wells post a commenter wrote the following:

Please forgive for going off the subject but I wanted to share this post with you.

“I WILL SIDE WITH THE MUSLIMS”

Khalied Sheik Mohammed along with four other animals have been scheduled to be brought to New York, for a “show the world trial”, according to Attorney General, Eric Holder who claims it is his sole decision. (Though Mr. Eric Holder claims it is his and only his choice. Every one knows very well Mr. Holder has no authority to mandate such a decision. Therefore, it was President Obama’s decision.)

Bringing the Muslim animals for trial in New York is being done against loud and clear public protest. This is not in the highest and best good for America. Besides revealing a consistent track record of ignoring the voice of America when it protests vital issues, the President’s administration clearly shows it favors Muslims over non Muslim Americans. The President is living true to his words when he said in one of his books—

“If the winds turn against the Muslims, I WILL SIDE WITH THE MUSLIMS.”

Mr. Eric Holder’s primary defense of this heinous decision is it is an opportunity to “show the world how great the American judicial system is.” The world already knows about the American judicial system. (That is why we are over run with illegal’s and constant victims of terrorist attacks.) Why in God’s –not Allah’s—world at this time in our history do we need to grand stand America’s legal system? Honestly, with America’s economic crisis as it is, who gives a fart about what the world thinks how we handle five disgusting Muslims who terrorized and murdered innocent Americans. The detainees to be tried have already admitted their guilt. They have already chosen the death penalty. (They are anxious to meet their 72 virgins.) If they must be tried, there are military tribunals to do so who can do the job with considerably less cost and notoriety. There was one already set up at Gitmo until Obama had it shut down. (I think because the judge refused Obama’s orders to post pone a trial in progress.)

Governor Patterson, Rudy Giuliani, don’t want it. Carl Rove, Dick Morris, Michele Malkin, Senators Jon Kyle, John McCain, Orrin Hatch, Sarah Palin (Yes, I value her opinion.) question this decision. The New Yorkers and most Americans don’t want it. Staging that trial in New York will incur many problems the President seems to ignore—holding quarters for the detainees, security problems transporting them to and fro the court, security problems in the court, the length and cost of the trial at you know whose expense? The president is placing New York and America in imminent danger and triggering excruciatingly painful memories to the families of the nearly 3000 victims? The entire trial will decriminalize the terrorist while Janet Napolitano’s Homeland Security Report criminalizes patriotic dissenting Americans.

With the immediate over whelming problems in America, why would any allegedly sane President indulge in the futile luxury of entertaining the world with a “show trial”? Perhaps the better question is who really benefits from such a farce trial? According to the many pundits who protest this choice, only the defendants and their Muslim terrorist gang would benefit. Such a trial would give undeserved glory to terrorist cause, denigrate America, antagonize public and private conflicts among many diverse groups, and will probably lead to riots between Muslims and non Muslims. (This government has no clue to how fed up the American people have become over Muslims) While the above statements are only my speculation, the strong possibility of them becoming a reality should be sufficient for any concerned President to refrain from proceeding with this—which will go down in history as one of the top ten follies of Obama’s illegal career. This leads to the next burning question. In the face of America’s vehement protest of this New York trial, what is the real reason Obama insists upon forcing this fiasco in New York?

Me thinks—or guesses: The secret reason President Obama’s Muslim puppet masters want these five sinister characters in New York is because they have something far more spectacular planned for our be leagued America. Me guesses the President is clearly and ruthlessly putting America in harms way. There are hundreds of ways terrorists could attack us. There is no security system big enough to cover all the possibilities. What great symbolism to do so while the World Trade Center pigs are on trial just blocks away from the crime scene!

Yes, I know, the following is pure speculation on my part. Yes I know it can never be proven in our life time. Yes, I know I will be called of all sorts of demeaning names, but here goes:

Based upon the President’s track record from the first day he held office, I have concluded the President is a puppet president who takes orders from George Soros and certain unknown Muslim leaders around the globe.

It was the President’s choice to hold the five animals from Gitmo in New York. Personally, what I see of the President, he could care less about the Gitmo detainees. His only primary concern is himself, his image, traveling the world bowing apologizing for America. Therefore, it appears he is merely following orders from one of his secret Muslim puppet masters or George Soros who also cavorts with Muslims. Whoooooaa! Now you are convinced I have lost what little of a mind I have left. Before you totally reject me as an off the wall over the top certifiable nut, examine with me President Obama’s track record since day one.

Axiom
People imagine they have secrets from the world. They do not. The thoughts they harbor give way to action. The action gives way to habit. Soon their habits reveal to the whole world their secrets.

The President & company’s track record are beginning to reveal the secrets of his real loyalties including what seems to be his primary motivations.

From day one Obama’s first official business was to call an Arab leader and have an interview with him. (I don’t remember his name.) Then he produced and posted that insane video to Achmadinamad [Amadinijad] of Iran. The posture of the President went something like this:

“We love you. We want to be your friend. We just want to talk. We will not impose any preconditions to our talk. Come to the White House for dinner, sometime, soon.”

Well, with Iran’s nuclear missile program rapidly progressing, we know how well that went.

What about The President’s trip to Egypt, Turkey, Somalia, and Iraq? We know what he said in his long winded speech in Egypt and other countries he visited. He admitted in Egypt he is a Muslim. (He has also admitted in other public events that he is a Muslim. The Muslim world accepts him as a Muslim.) He claimed in Turkey AMERICA IS a MUSLIM COUNTRY! ! ! ! !

What we do not know is:

WHAT DID HE SAY TO CERTAIN MUSLIM LEADERS IN PRIVATE. YOU KNOW. THOSE INFAMOUS CLANDESTINE MEETINGS PEOPLE OF POWER HAVE TO PLOT NEFARIOUS CRIMES AGAINST THEIR CITIZENS.

Were you not the least bit shocked by An American President’s silence when the citizens of Iran were being beaten and slaughtered for protesting their corrupt election that kept mad man Ach-mad-inijad in office? Wasn’t the President’s silence was really loud? Those luckless and courageous protesters were begging for some words, any words of support from America. All they got was beaten, murdered and the great American Presidential silence. I wonder who shut up the President during that time. Could the silence be because the President really doesn’t believe in freedom and secretly—in his heart of hearts—loves dictatorships, monarchies, (Bowed to King of Saudi, Arabia and the Japanese Emperor)? Maybe he was simply following orders from some unknown Muslim who secretly contributed millions to Obama’s campaign?

We also know per the President’s insistence, Congress recently passed the funding of SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS to that socially delightful group in Palestine, the HAMAS. (This is just more grist for the mill about Congress’s foolishness and the President’s Muslim passion.) The money is to assist them in relocating to America and help them establish life in America. In the interest of length, I won’t go into Barry’s anti Israel policies and actions.

The President believes if he calls a sows ear a silk purse, it then makes the ear a silk purse. (I think he gets redefining words to make them mean something else from slick, cold David Axelrod.) He calls looting America and a dirty slush fund a “Stimulus Plan” to create jobs. Hah! Then the President forbids the use of the term “war on terror” and insists it be replaced with “man made disaster.” Hah, ha! Haven’t they noticed? No one is listening to them. Doesn’t this make you wonder what they are smoking in the WH? It makes me wonder if the President, Axelrod and the rest may be truly be delusional.

Nidal Malik Hassan is a Muslim terrorist who attacked unarmed, innocent men, women, and a fetus. Under the cloak of political correctness the President is insisting upon calling the attack on Fort Hood the act of a man suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome who simply acted independently. The President thinks it makes it so because he said so in spite of all facts that contradict it. Then the President ordered a halt on the investigation? He doesn’t want to offend the Muslims. He doesn’t want to offend the Muslims? ? ? What about the 300,000,000 Americans he has offended by his “political correctness” protecting Muslims? It doesn’t seem to bother him for a single moment he has offended 300,000,000 Americans. It also doesn’t seem to bother the President that 13 and 1 on the way were killed in their line of duty. Over 30 were wounded by this good but suffering Muslim. The President didn’t even salute the photos of those who so senselessly died when he attended their memorial. Would some one please tell me what is so special about Muslims, that the world must walk on eggs so as not to offend them?

“A terrorist is a terrorist. By any other named is still a terrorist.”

This laundry list I have compiled is just the tip of the iceberg. The collection of pro Muslim anti American deeds by the President has committed since day one would fill an encyclopedia.

The following was e-mailed to me a few days ago. I have seen other versions of this. I don’t know who wrote it. Here goes:

“A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to them selves.

Absolutely No Profiling ! Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test.

These events are actual events from history. They really happened!
Do you remember?

No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Let’s send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves — if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story ‘Forrest Gump’ so aptly put it, ‘Stupid is as stupid does.’

AND NOW “FORT HOOD” TEXAS, AND OUR PRESIDENT SAY’S DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT AS THE ACT OF “A MUSLIM EXTREMIST ”

Usapatriots-shout.blogspot.com

That person certainly articulates what a lot of Americans now think about Obama. It may have taken a year longer for some (many knew what a disaster Obama would be as president before the election) to finally come to their senses and see the truth about this man. But thank God that millions more are catching on; as the Obama job disapproval stats clearly show.

Obamafile: Americans Want to Know: Billboard Stirs Controversy

Excerpt:

Supporters of the birth certificate theory, known as Birthers, have demonstrated the Certification of Live Birth produced by the state of Hawaii is counterfeit.

Sirota and the ADL have such short memories. They are outraged that Americans have reasonable questions about Obama's eligibility and mysterious background, but ignore this stuff.

Sirota contends "that conservative leaders are afraid to confront the extreme fringe of their base" -- I have a flash for Sirota, as more and more people come to understand Obama's far-left agenda and mysterious background, they question his eligibility. The "fringe" is now composed of a huge segment of the American population -- and it is growing.

An October 23rd item reported that three-in-ten Americans think their current head of state was not born in the United States, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. That's almost a third of all Americans.

Now, Goddard's Political Wire points to a new Public Policy Polling survey in Arkansas shows that only 45% of voters in the state say they believe Obama was born in this country, while 31% say they think he was not and 24% are unsure."

Arkansas is the first of four states where we've polled the birther issue (Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado were the others) and found less than half of respondents confident that Obama is a natural born citizen. The numbers are particularly dramatic among Republicans with 49% saying Obama was not born here to just 23% who grant that he was."

And it's Obama's own actions that have caused many Americans to have these questions. FReeper TigersEye lists just a few:

• Trying to curb criticism of Nidal Malik Hasan (mmmm mmmm mmmm)
• Staunchly refusing to call the Ft. Hood massacre a terrorist act
• Scheduling a civilian trial of KSM in NYC
• The "reach around for a Muslim" Cairo speech
• Bowing to a Saudi King
• Millions of dollars to Hamas so they can pay big bucks for kidnapping Israeli soldiers
• Ordering the Israelis to stop building settlements
• Inability to make a decision on Afghanistan
• Closing GITMO
• Moving terrorists to Illinois
• Calling the U.S. a "Muslim country" while in Europe
• Hiring several devout Muslims with ties to radical Muslims for security posts
• Establishing back channel ties with the Taliban

Second Update:

I found the following video link of the 2004 Illinois Senate debate between Alan Keyes and Barack Obama in the C-Span archives. I listened to the entire video, but found the section from 42:25 - 46:15 especially enlightening. At one point, Obama states, "I would like to ask Jesus whether I was going up [presumably meaning heaven] or down [presumably meaning hell]. Mr. Keyes states, "I want to know where HE [meaning Jesus] stands, so that I may follow Him! I want to know where He stands with respect to the will of the Father to whom He looks." The rest of the exchange in that four minute segment on Christian faith is interesting, too. It's a small section of the video, so you can advance it to 42:25, watch and listen up to 46:15.

Alan Keyes discusses how abortion has eliminated 25% of black population since Roe vs. Wade. He astutely analyses how and why the abortion issue should be included in the discussion of race issues and arguments - despite how uncomfortable that might be for some. Watch and listen to segment 52:00 - 54:52.

It is amazing that Obama claims in his closing arguments that "Washington is not listening to the people." Well guess what? Obama now is IN the White House in Washington - and HE IS NOT LISTENING TO WE THE PEOPLE!!

In contrast, Alan Keyes' closing arguments are almost prophetic now that we see how Obama's policies are ruining our nation.

Did Weiner Convert to Islam? [Update]

Are you sick of Weinergate yet? I certainly am. I have not listened to the usual news programs on Fox News Channel as much as I used to because, unfortunately, they are shifting more leftist as each week goes by. I really hate to hear all of the pundits (like Krauthammer, Rove, etc.) spouting how they think that Sarah Palin should not run for president. What's their problem? Jealousy over her popularity? Geez. She is a Fox New Contributor and she is relentlessly being back-stabbed by these RINO, anti-female conservative sexist boobs. If she wants to run, SHE WILL RUN. Let her be!! Let her decide!! Why are they picking on her? It's disgusting and revolting! More about this in another blog post.

Back to Weiner.

Despite the firestorm that still rages in the press about Weiner's sleazy sexual perversion habits, I must admit that something else caught my eye about him today while reading other blogs.

When I heard the name of Congressman Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, and then saw what she looked like I thought that she resembled someone of Arab descent. Then, I read a blog post that claims she is Muslim. The blog Expose Obama asks, "Did Weiner Secretly Convert to Islam to Marry a Muslim?

Most Muslim women are taught to only marry Muslim men.   Why would she marry a Jew - even if he is considered a "secular Jew?" Weiner is (or was) a Jewish man, once. Did he convert to Islam in order to be able to marry Huma Abedin? It's a good and logical question, especially when the Expose Obama blog links to an article at Floyd Reports.com reveals that Omar Abu-Namous is the imam of the Islamic Cultural Center in New York and he is encouraging Huma Abedin – a practicing Muslim – to stand by her husband, New York congressman Anthony Weiner.

When you read the entire post at that link, you may have the same questions in your mind that are stated at the conclusion of the post:

Did Abedin reject Weiner [note:  at first] because he was not Muslim? Why is a New York imam with ties to the ISNA and Feisal Abdul Rauf defending a non-Muslim male with a Muslim female?

Perhaps there is a more important question that needs to be answered. Did a secular Jewish man convert to Islam or did his (still) practicing Muslim wife abandon her religion by marrying him?

I think it is much more logical to believe that Weiner converted to Islam. What do you think?

Hat tips to all links.

What Was Motive For BHO's Benghazi Cover-Up Scandal Lie? [Update 3!]

As Congress tries to get at the truth about the Benghazi Massacre and Cover-up, the BHO BADministration continues in its swampland of lies, deceit, changing stories, refusal to tell the truth, and doctoring explanations; like taking words out of a CIA report that labeled the attackers Al Qaida terrorists (changing it to the usual liberal drivel of "extremists").

I recently added a new blog to my blogroll.  It is called Moral Matters.org. and there is certainly some terrific writing going on over there!

The following blog post, entitled Obama’s greater lie: And a likely motive for his Benghazi cover-up scandal lie contains one of the best possible, explanations as to why that obscure You Tube video was used as an excuse and trotted out there by Ambassador Rice as a "lead up" to the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed Ambassador Stevens, former SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, and Foreign Services Officer, Sean Smith.

This is a Talk Wisdom Reports - You Decide kind of post.

In addition to pasting the entire post from Moral Matters, I am including some commentary in between with links to previous posts here at Talk Wisdom as well as posts, articles, commentary from others,  which I think helps boost the argument being shared by author Nathan M. Bickel at Moral Matters.org.

Here is a copy of the post:

Obama’s greater lie: And a likely motive for his Benghazi cover-up scandal lie

 

November 17, 2012 Nathan M. Bickel


It is the contention of some that Obama lied to the American people when he repeatedly took the credit for Osama Bin Laden’s [supposed] demise. This author says, “Supposed,” for three reasons. First, there were previous reports of Bin Laden’s [previous] death. Secondly, Obama and his operatives provided no substantial forensic evidence that the Pakistan US Seal raid had actually and conclusively taken down Bin Laden. Thirdly, Obama dispensed with the (supposed) Al-Qaeda’ leader’s body, speedily and in such a manner, as to deny any future investigation and / or confirmation of the Obama assassination narrative.

[See these posts and links for information regarding Osama Bin Laden's death years ago: Talk Wisdom: Is Zawahiri Big Kahuna Now? and Hot Air where the authenticity of tapes of Osama in 2007 were suspicious. There is also the comment from Benazir Bhutto prior to her assassination that Bin Laden was dead.]

Then, once all this (supposedly) took place according to Obama’s directive, America and the world began to hear Obama remind them, that he had tracked down the world’s most infamous terrorist and sent him on his eternal journey. In the backdrop of all of this Obama narrative, has been Obama claiming that Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda’ terrorist organization was on the run and barely surviving.

It is, no wonder then, that Obama would spread the flagrant lie of an anti Islamic video and spontaneous uprising, precipitating the Benghazi terrorist attack, which left 4 Americans dead; among whom, was Ambassador, Chris Stevens. Obama’s directive to spread this flagrant video [narrative] lie, was so imperative, that Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta and UN Ambassador Susan Rice, all stood by their Pied Piper, White House occupier, liar.

What do CNN and Innocence of Muslims filmmaker share in Common?

52 minutes ago

 

Excerpt:  On September 11, 2012 attacks on U.S. embassies took place all across the Middle East (Benghazi was a coordinated terrorist attack), most notably in Cairo. Attackers blamed an anti-Muhammad video called Innocence of Muslims. Magically, those who laid siege were not responsible for their own actions. There was evidence of foul play in the video’s production as well. In post-production editing, the words Muslims found most incendiary appeared to be dubbed in; the actors said they were duped.

We have now learned that CNN is responsible for putting forth egregious propaganda… on video. It is the kind of propaganda that, in the past, has been blamed for – you guessed it – violence in the Middle East. Like in the year 2000, it involves the exploitation of a young Palestinian boy.]

This gave the Obama presidential campaign time to speed itself to Election Day before the truth about Obama’s attempted Benghazi scandal cover-up would soon become more media, widespread.
 

[Note - Hot Air asks: Was Obama briefed that Benghazi was a terror attack before Rice went on TV?   Also see: Gateway Pundit: HE LIED… Obama Was Told Benghazi Was Terrorist Attack Not YouTube Protest Within 72 Hours.  Also see:  TownHall: Chambliss on Benghazi Hearing: ‘So Obvious’ It Was a Terrorist Attack]

And, so, the greater lie in the background of the smokescreen video lie, [supposedly] sparking (causing) a spontaneous Muslim terrorist attack on the Benghazi consulate, is the lie which Obama desired to protect. But, why? Is it because (according to some reports) Obama wanted to keep under wraps his secretive “gun running” activity to Islamic terrorists, among whom are multiplying Al-Qaeda’ terrorists, – a major contradiction to his deceptive Bin Laden kill, narrative? Why won’t Obama be forthcoming? Also, didn’t Obama say in the past that if the political winds would change, he would stand by his Muslim brothers?

[See: Talk Wisdom: Benghazi Research: Obama Arming al-Qaeda – Reason for Libya Cover Up? We Think It’s Even Bigger (New Maps of CIA Annex Included)]

[How strange it was that Bin Laden's body was disposed of in the sea within 24 hours of his (supposed) death. This was not enough time to get results of a DNA test. Also, no photos were allowed to the media or public. What's wrong with that picture? At least the Bush Administration allowed photos to be shown of dictator Saddam Hussein's capture, trial, death sentence, and his ultimate demise by hanging. Why all the mystery surrounding Osama Bin Laden's demise?]

Those who love traditional and patriotic America: It is time to cease giving Barack Hussein Obama the benefit of any doubt. There is much now known about Obama’s background and loyalties, than to seriously think of him (anymore) as a loyal American. He’s lied repeatedly to the American people from the beginning, about his real identity. And, this whole Benghazi cover-up scandal illustrates that Obama continues on his pathological lying path.

[See: The Ulsterman Report: Barack Obama’s Benghazi LIES-LIES-LIES-LIES-LIES…]

The following has been found on the web. It offers a very likely motive for Obama’s continued Benghazi cover-up scandal. I believe that no other scenario best fits, as to explain why our White House occupier has not been honest and forthright with the American people:

 According to sources in the State Department and the CIA, and intercepted communications from the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama “staged” the attack in Benghazi in order to create a monumental “October Surprise” that would guarantee him re-election.

[See Talk Wisdom: Video: Benghazi Attack Was Botched Kidnapping To Trade Blind Sheik!! [Updates]]

Yes, you read that right, and no, I’m not making this up. Obama, we now know, is and has been working with the Muslim Brotherhood secretly to engineer the release of the “Blind Sheik,” Omar Abdel Rahman, the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center attack.

In Obama’s October Surprise, he intentionally set up the consulate to have no security so that Chris Stevens could be kidnapped, and held for ransom by Al-Qaeda (and the Muslim Brotherhood). Then, several days before the election, the plan was to trade Chris Stevens for the Blind Sheik, making himself look like a hero, and all but guaranteeing re-election.

This was one of the top reasons why Obama was so insistent on the Muslim Brotherhood getting $1.2 Billion in U.S. Aid. They were to have a primary role in getting Obama re-elected. That is why, even though they knew days before the attack that it was going to occur, no effort was made to bolster security. It was intended to be non-existent. The Libyan security forces were intended to quietly slip into the night when the attack began. And they did, just as planned. That is why, even though 2 C-130U gunships, which were built SPECIFICALLY for this kind of attack, and which could have saved the lives of our people there and were a mere 45 minutes away, were never scrambled at any time during the attack.

There was to be no resistance whatsoever. That is why there were not one, but TWO armed drones flying over the consulate during the conflagration… our CIA operatives on the ground were painting targets because they knew air cover was available. That is why, even though requesting support and backup three times, their requests were NOT ignored, but were intentionally, specifically DENIED three times, and they were told to “stand down,” which basically means to “surrender.” That was part of Obama’s plan.

They were not to fight back. That would potentially undermine the kidnapping effort and cause unnecessary “complications.” That is why, even though the CIA operatives and ex-Navy Seals were on the ground, providing real-time reports, and even though they were “lighting up” the source of the mortars attacking the compound with lasers, no gunships or support ever came. They weren’t supposed to resist.
 

[Recall the video where Ty Woods father said that "shaking hands with BHO was like shaking hands with a dead fish" and that BHO wouldn't look him in the eye when he said in a little boy's schoolyard voice, "I'm sorry for your loss."  It is because this brave ex-Navy SEAL hero ignored the "stand down" orders and went in to save those being attacked!  Watergate took a year to come to fruition before Nixon resigned.  I pray to God that Benghazi-Gate will get BHO impeached and removed from the White House!!]

That wasn’t “part of the plan.” It also wasn’t part of the plan for one of the CIA operatives to intentionally defy Obama’s orders, and who rescued the body of Sean Smith and then stood up again, and engaged the enemy who was attacking American soil. It was supposed to be “clean.” Quick. Efficient.

[We are getting closer, due to General Petraeus' testimony, to finding out that it was someone at the White House who must have uttered the stand down order! SEAL Father: Who Denied Military Aid During Benghazi Attack? ]

Kidnap the Ambassador and get out. Then Save The Day in the “nick of time.” They didn’t factor in a tiny group of highly trained ex-Navy Seals/CIA operatives… American Patriots and heroes. Even though they eventually lost their lives in the firefight, they managed to employ the full measure of their skills, and took out over 80 attackers in the process… which enraged the attackers, who were led to believe that they would encounter no resistance.
 

[Note:  According to Wikipedia - only 9 attackers died. A FreeRepublic commentator wrote that 10 died.  Need more research on this to determine the exact number.]

THAT is why Ambassador Stevens was raped (sodomized), murdered, and dragged through the streets.

[See: Talk Wisdom: Breaking News About Ambassador Stevens (Warning: Graphic details) and especially conservative gay blogger at Hillbuzz who reported why the lefties and the media denied that this actually happened to Stevens.]

In their warped minds, they believed that they had been betrayed by the U.S. yet again. They believed that Obama was their friend. They believed that they were going to get their beloved Blind Sheik back. And yet, here were 80 of their own… dead by American hands.

Obama was asked directly in an interview if he denied their request for assistance, he refused to answer, and instead droned on with a canned response promising to “bring those responsible to justice.

“Former CIA and State Dept. personnel are coming out now with damning evidence that indicts President Obama, and reveals the truth about what is going on. Hillary Clinton, who is now openly laying the blame at the feet of the President, after falling on her sword in a premature show of loyalty for the Administration.

The “Video” defense was carefully crafted WEEKS in advance, to explain the attack. If this doesn’t outrage you, If you are not moved enough to contact your congressman about this, you are not worthy of your citizenship.

We the People:  Obama’s Taqqiya Unravels

Copy of post:

Nonie Darwish comments below “Both Sharia and socialism are united in their envy of Western society and need to change it.”
Here I disagree with Ms. Darwish in that Obama doesn’t envy Western society he has done his best to apologize for it and loathes it.
If not why the Muslim bowing tour apologizing for America’s exceptionalism?

Taqiyya defined:

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message. The American ThinkerBy Nonie Darwish

I have never entertained the idea that Obama was a Muslim and always believed he was a socialist. But Obama’s behavior over the last four years regarding Islam has convinced me that Obama has a Socialist/Islamic centered worldview — a combination that is not uncommon in many parts of the Muslim world.

Having been a journalist in Egypt for six years in the seventies, I have witnessed socialism with an Islamic twist to be a popular political ideology, especially amongst Arab journalists and intellectuals. Socialism, and even communism, have managed to survive in the ruthless Islamic political system as an alternative to full-fledged Sharia.

The two ideologies have blended together in cases including the Baath Party in Syria and Iraq and socialist regimes in Egypt and Yemen. One major difference between the two ideologies is that Islam uses Allah, while socialism uses atheism, to fight the God of Christianity. ( complete article follows)

Free democracies, such as the United States, are alien to Islam and socialism both because they regard government as a servant of the people and hold that human rights are granted by God and not by government or the code of Sharia.

Both Sharia and socialism are united in their envy of Western society and need to change it. That is why Obama has become the savior of both Islam and socialism. He embodies both ideologies. The claim that Obama is a Christian was a silly joke, but a necessary lie for the greater cause of changing America to fit the goals of both creeds.

Obama became the One, the savior of both Islam and socialists. To do that, Obama had to deny who he really was, which explains why his actions and words have never added up. At the recent Alfred E. Smith Catholic Charity dinner speech, Obama did not seem to be just kidding when he said that Romney uses his middle name Mitt and “I wish I could use my middle name.” Obama was referring, of course, to his Islamic middle name of Hussein. In Obama’s mind, he was not ashamed for having deceived America — he blamed America for putting him in the position of having to deny his true pride in his middle name.

That brings us to an important discovery by WND in an article by Jerome Corsi titled: “Obama’s Ring: ‘There is no God But Allah’.” The article featured close-up photos of a ring still worn by Obama today in the White House, one that he has worn since his visit to Pakistan as a young man. The ring, which later also became his wedding ring, has very tiny and discrete Arabic calligraphy that means nothing to Americans, but to Arabic-speaking people like myself and Dr. Mark Gabriel, means quite a lot. Such Islamic calligraphy is commonly found throughout the gold markets of the Muslim world. I am not a writing expert, but I can clearly see on the ring the word ‘La Ilaha IllaAllah. (“There is no god but god.”)’ Such a sentence in Arabic has a lot of the letters A and L which in Arabic are simply a straight line like the number one.

The only explanation for Obama’s exciting ring secret is that he is a closet Muslim and feels that he can serve Islam best if he denies his being a Muslim for the purpose of a higher aspiration to serve the Muslim world from the White House, in Islamic terms the “higher jihad.” Obama has no problem whatsoever in lying for the sake of “Hope and Change” since lying about being a Muslim in a majority non-Muslim country is allowed under Islam. Lying for the purpose of jihad (known as “taqqiya”) is not only allowed, but an obligation to be proud of and even serves as a reason to blame the enemies of Islam for one’s lies. Sharia law states: “Lying is obligatory if the purpose is obligatory.” Muslim clerics have no problem in lying not just to the non-Muslim world but even to the Muslim masses, since Islam also allows Muslims to lie in order to bring Muslims together in harmony and friendship.

That brings us to the current debacle in Libya, which can only be understood if we grasp Obama’s worldviews as regards the “Muslim World.” Like the so-called ‘moderate’ Muslims, Obama insists Islam in and of itself has nothing to do with terrorism and blames previous American foreign policy (along with Israel), for Islamic anger. Obama narrowed down the problem of Islamism to Al Qaeda while embracing other Islamic groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, as moderate. In the process, Obama dismissed the Brotherhood’s long history of terror, which in fact gave birth to Al Qaeda and hundreds of other terror groups. Nothing in Obama’s world is the fault of Islam, which is why he ordered the Fort Hood massacre to be classified as “workplace violence” and not Islamic terrorism.
Obama believes that he uniquely understands the Muslim world and will bring about a new era of peace with Islam, at least during his administration. There are strong rumors in Egypt that when Obama met with the Egyptian foreign minister, he confided in him that he was a Muslim and that he would assist the Islamic cause in America after he passes the Health Care Bill.

But as president of the United States, Obama was caught in a quagmire between protecting American lives and appearing loyal to Islam. Placing American Marines at US consulates in dangerous terror-infested Islamic countries created the possibility of a bloody confrontation between American security and Islamists. That would discredit Obama’s attempt to separate Islam from terrorism. Also, if Obama confronted militant Muslim jihadists in Islamic countries, his entire claim to opening a new page in American/Islamic relations would fall apart. He would then be no different from his predecessors, Bush or Reagan.

That explains why the demands for American security by U.S. ambassador Stevens went unanswered. Obama did not want to deal with the possibility that American Marines would shoot at Muslim attackers in order to save American lives.

According to Sharia, it is a capital crime for a Muslim individual or leader to shoot at fellow Muslims — even Islamists — for the purpose of protecting Americans. That would make Obama a violator of Sharia and an apostate. If Obama considers himself a Muslim and wears an Islamic ring, then he must have had a very hard time deciding on how to protect the consulate without killing Muslim attackers. His solution? Settling for the lesser of two evils: getting Muslims, in the form of Libyan security, to guard the property and in this way, forcing Muslims to shoot other Muslims in order to defend the consulate. But that plan was useless because even the Muslim guards had to follow Sharia, and ran away and left the Americans to be killed rather than violate Sharia themselves by killing other Muslims. Obama gambled with the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others and left them as sacrificial lambs rather than violate the dictates of Sharia.

The Benghazi fiasco merely underlined Obama’s failed promises of peace with the Muslim world. The murder of Americans at the hand of Muslims did not even get us an apology from any Muslim leader or cleric. No one is taking responsibility, not even Obama himself.

With the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Islamists and jihadists made it clear to us that they could care less about Obama, his appeasement, his apologies, and even his Islam. They could not put jihad on hold or restrain themselves on behalf of an American president who wanted to help build a better image of Islam. They could not play the game with Obama and refrain from jihad even during the Obama presidency. The jihadists in effect declared that Obama, Muslim or not, is just another American president who should not be trusted. No leader, Muslim or not, can get away from the wrath of Islamic jihad, and that is why angry Islamic mobs were recently seen torching Obama’s effigy.

It is unfortunate that it took a tragedy in Libya and the lives of decent Americans to prove that Obama is unfit to be president of the USA. Obama has fooled many Americans for four years and that is why, when he sees the face of Mitt Romney, he is reminded of a reality that he could not fully eliminate. Obama knows the game, and his presidency, is over.
