So what does it mean and what do we do? Rebel? Fight? Destroy? No. Instead: Be aware (The night is far spent, the day is at hand), expose it and separate yourself spiritually (let us therefore cast of the works of darkness) and though it may seem odd, pray for its peace as with the example given in the 70 year (lifetime) Babylonian captivity of Israel: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace….That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” This is from Jeremiah 29, the 1611 King James Version&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jw135OaHGhs/TvD7YSl2rSI/AAAAAAAAAKU/_97c5jn_dn8/s1600/Walmart+Crescent.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="235" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jw135OaHGhs/TvD7YSl2rSI/AAAAAAAAAKU/_97c5jn_dn8/s320/Walmart+Crescent.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Screen shot of the photo processor after placing&amp;nbsp;the order for the above posted photos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Lx3FiD_9pQ0/TvnrV6BoR8I/AAAAAAAAAKg/uRkkq5-Tzmg/s1600/stratfor.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="94" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Lx3FiD_9pQ0/TvnrV6BoR8I/AAAAAAAAAKg/uRkkq5-Tzmg/s320/stratfor.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/anonymous-hackers-target-us-security-think-tank-190846242.html" target="_blank"&gt;Globalist internet Security&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--JHfTXMI7Jo/TxhkG2-EaoI/AAAAAAAAAK0/5-DHC-lvL4c/s1600/LearCapital.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nfa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--JHfTXMI7Jo/TxhkG2-EaoI/AAAAAAAAAK0/5-DHC-lvL4c/s1600/LearCapital.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Gold!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-1540383993619462394?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/1540383993619462394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=1540383993619462394' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1540383993619462394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1540383993619462394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-style-of-logos-seals-graphics.html' title='Old &apos;New&apos; World Order Style of Logos, Seals &amp; Graphics Becoming Prevalent.

A student of Islam might also gather that after a 1400 year history of hostilities, murder, rape and enslavement that Islam was at war with us. But, the White House, the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, FBI and CIA have informed us that this is not the case.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/the-dhimmi-is-forbidden-to-read-the-koran/" target="_blank"&gt;Read this Short Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible&amp;nbsp;teaches this conflict began before the world existed, that it first appeared in the world&amp;nbsp;in the Garden Eden.&amp;nbsp;It was then recorded&amp;nbsp;after an offering was&amp;nbsp;rejected by Adam's son Cain and when Abram, before the Almighty added the letter "hei" to his name&amp;nbsp;(Abraham). &amp;nbsp;It&amp;nbsp;was told by the Almighty that the blessing would pass to Isaac not Ishmael. The hatred&amp;nbsp; then passed to Ishmael and&amp;nbsp;has perpetuated.&amp;nbsp; This was then passed on through Mohammed's rejection,&amp;nbsp;being rejected by the Jews when Mohammed attempted to destroy the work of God's Son Jesus/Yeshua.&amp;nbsp; The sons of Jacob rejected Mohammed's prophet hood confirming the Almighty's rejection of Ishmael.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we are in our own time.&amp;nbsp; In the new Westernized version of Islam, Islamic doctrines, translations and histories are being changed, denied&amp;nbsp;and whitewashed. In particular in the&amp;nbsp;newer translation of the Quran by reformists&amp;nbsp;the obvious noxious verses are being re-translated to show that Islam is non-violent and ...rational.&amp;nbsp;But the&amp;nbsp;vicious anti-Christian doctrines remain.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;So that has also come full circle to it's true purpose.&amp;nbsp; Both the attempt to destroy the Messiah's Kingdom and the plan and desire to destroy the children of Jacob have&amp;nbsp; been historically and spiritually joined into the same effort called Islam.&amp;nbsp; The attempts to silence those who understand, expose and fight this plan at times&amp;nbsp;appear certain. Those efforts&amp;nbsp;are futile as Islam along with any other devised system&amp;nbsp;are destined&amp;nbsp;for annihilation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;It is an &lt;a href="http://bible.cc/revelation/1-3.htm" target="_blank"&gt;awesome privilege&lt;/a&gt; to see the beginning of the Church being restored&amp;nbsp;to the knowledge of&amp;nbsp;her Hebrew trunk and roots.&amp;nbsp; While at the same time seeing&amp;nbsp;the children of Israel grow in the acceptance of their Jewish Messiah and this also&amp;nbsp;has only begun; what is to follow soon&amp;nbsp;can hardly be described.&amp;nbsp; Knowing that the joining of what seems two movements into one body cannot be stopped by force, power, event, circumstance or movement's themselves, as it will be preformed by the Almighty.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-2710399319957028138?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/2710399319957028138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=2710399319957028138' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/2710399319957028138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/2710399319957028138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2011/11/rejection-of-ishmael.html' title='Rejection of Ishmael'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-3295134322742350331</id><published>2011-12-16T09:44:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-19T23:13:52.281-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hajj'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mecca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blackstone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='false god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GPS'/><title type='text'>The Faulty GPS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Calibri;

font-size: large;"&gt;Part 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim and Penny &lt;span class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Cadwell&lt;/span&gt; lived in Saudi Arabia for 12 years, the Land of &lt;span class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Midian&lt;/span&gt; as described in the Bible, Arabia as St. Paul wrote, where Mount Sinai is located.&amp;nbsp;They will have much to tell us in the near future about the archaeological&amp;nbsp;evidence that they were able to document&amp;nbsp;that pointed to a mountain in Saudi Arabia called &lt;span class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Jabel&lt;/span&gt; Al &lt;span class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Lawz&lt;/span&gt;, the&amp;nbsp;Mountain of Almonds as the Biblical Mount Sinai. Better known locally as the Mountain of Moses.&amp;nbsp; Their story will also detail how that evidence is being erased by the Saudis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 4th Century the Roman Emperor Constantine dreamed that Mt. Sinai was located in Egypt's southern Sinai peninsula.&amp;nbsp; He described his dreams to his mother, a fortune teller.&amp;nbsp; She travelled to southern Sinai and from her son's&amp;nbsp;description located a mountain and declared it Mount Sinai.&amp;nbsp; Later a chapel was built there and since then it was assumed this was the site where the Children of Israel camped after miraculously crossing the Red Sea&amp;nbsp;and where Mose received the 10 Commandments from God.&amp;nbsp; Note this map from a recently published New King James Version Bible showing Mount Sinai's location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-75a1g96iiHM/TvDmVg-_auI/AAAAAAAAAJY/gCk0PBjUxn0/s1600/copy+of+Sinai+map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-75a1g96iiHM/TvDmVg-_auI/AAAAAAAAAJY/gCk0PBjUxn0/s1600/copy+of+Sinai+map.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with this location arose when archaeologists tried to find evidence to prove this claim, they could not find any.&amp;nbsp; This led to the near unanimous conclusion among Biblical archaeologists&amp;nbsp;that the entire Exodus event did not occur.&amp;nbsp;No enslavement in Egypt, no mass exodus, no miraculous Red Sea crossing.&amp;nbsp; The Exodus&amp;nbsp;became and still is for many a fictional event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When more recent scholars and archaeologists&amp;nbsp;began to find evidence that the Hebrews were indeed enslaved in Egypt,&amp;nbsp; the route of the&amp;nbsp;Exodus and location of Mt. Sinai was still assumed to be the mountain designated by Constantine's mother.&amp;nbsp; Below is a map taken from a 1989 publication that argued scholars had missed evidence of the Hebrew enslavement because they were looking at the wrong time in history. Yet still the old location and route is used.

A dead end.&amp;nbsp;When you read the Book of&amp;nbsp;Exodus for yourself, you will find why the Children of Israel were led south to this proposed point&amp;nbsp;and Pharaoh's conclusion as to why they had turned in that direction. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;One last point regarding the Red Sea crossing point of the Biblical maps. They show the crossing point to be in Egypt proper, a swampy lake area called the Bitter Lakes.&amp;nbsp; Again you will find in your reading of Exodus that the crossing point is called a mighty sea, not a marshy lowland lake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;Part 2 Why &lt;span class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Neweiba&lt;/span&gt; Beach?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The problem first began with the traditional Mt. Sinai site in Egypt. There is simply no room for the Children of Israel to camp.&amp;nbsp; This is also the second feature when searching for the crossing point. The first feature would be an area where the Hebrews were trapped,&amp;nbsp; secondly there would need to be room for them.&amp;nbsp; Again from the Bible narrative it is concluded that the number of Hebrews numbered between one to two million people. You will note from the series of photos below&amp;nbsp;first the narrow mountain passes that lead to &lt;span class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Neweiba&lt;/span&gt; Beach&amp;nbsp;in the satellite photo, the size of the beach area and the north and south view&amp;nbsp;from the beach showing the mountain&amp;nbsp;that approach the coast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TD9J0bvCYJI/AAAAAAAAAEA/hHtDInvBelU/s1600/aquaba+beach+Sinai+Google+earth.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TD9J0bvCYJI/AAAAAAAAAEA/hHtDInvBelU/s320/aquaba+beach+Sinai+Google+earth.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TD9KDcuNJlI/AAAAAAAAAEI/qaE_XXVO5Yg/s1600/31611226.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TD9KDcuNJlI/AAAAAAAAAEI/qaE_XXVO5Yg/s320/31611226.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TD9KcNgL_bI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/G1fRLrY_78A/s1600/21546223.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TD9KcNgL_bI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/G1fRLrY_78A/s320/21546223.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;The pillar pictured below was discovered in 1978 laying partially in the water,&amp;nbsp;its inscription unreadable.

But, there is another Islam--Official Islam--that has been revealed by Obama in Cairo. He made official what the media, politicians and the universities have pushed since 9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the major points of Official Islam:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Islam is a religion similar to Christianity and Judaism. They all worship the same god.&lt;br /&gt;· Good Muslims prove that Islam is good&lt;br /&gt;· There are no jihadists, just extremists&lt;br /&gt;· Islam must be accommodated in as many ways as possible&lt;br /&gt;· One of the proofs of Islam's greatness is the Islamic Golden Age, humanity's best days&lt;br /&gt;· Violence by Muslims is due to their being poor and abused&lt;br /&gt;· Islam gave the West its basis for our intellectual world&lt;br /&gt;· The Crusades were a great evil by Christians&lt;br /&gt;· There are moderate Muslims and a few extremist Muslims&lt;br /&gt;· "Extremists" cause the violence· Islam is found in the Koran (never discuss Mohammed)&lt;br /&gt;· The "bad stuff" in the Koran is only due to its interpretation&lt;br /&gt;· Good Muslims will reform the "extremists"&lt;br /&gt;· Islam is the religion of tolerance· Islam has a Golden Rule&lt;br /&gt;· Islam is the religion of freedom and justice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the official version of Islam is a &lt;strong&gt;*Big Lie&lt;/strong&gt;. The fact that the Official Islam does not agree with the Koran, Sira and Hadith is of no importance, since it is not based upon them. Official Islam is based upon the propaganda of the Muslim Brotherhood. Not one line of the Official Islam is totally true and many of the points are complete fabrications. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At best, some assertions are partially true. A half-truth is a lie. When you testify in our courts you have to swear an oath: I swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.Official Islam is not only made up of half-truths, but it also has points that contain no truth, e.g. Islam is the religion of tolerance, so it contains both half-truths and total lies. There is not a single statement in it that it completely true. It is a Big Lie. Anyone who does not agree with these points is labeled a bigot and will be condemned by all of the official non-bigots, those who believe the Big Lie. The oddest thing is that they make moral judgments about those who do not believe. They say that if you don't believe in the Big Lie, you are a bigoted Islamophobe.Official Islam cannot be proved and is delivered by "authorities." It is based upon authoritarian thinking-believe it because those who have more power that you say it is true. We must use truth and critical/scientific thinking to destroy the Big Lie of Official Islam. Official Islam is the mind of denial and delusion and is the intellectual basis of the destruction of our civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;* BIG LIE: Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, MA, 1971, pgs. 231, 232. All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true in itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/the-official-islam/"&gt;Political Islam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-2350653253989099222?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/2350653253989099222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=2350653253989099222' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/2350653253989099222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/2350653253989099222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/07/official-islam-by-bill-warner.html' title='Official Islam By Bill Warner'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-5633406246717466274</id><published>2011-11-09T14:33:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T17:04:15.795-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charlie Hebdo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jewish Persecution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel'/><title type='text'>Quote of the Day: Regarding the Increasing Levels of Jewish Persecution in France</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;Once upon a time there was the Holocaust...and there was a perfect rational for the CREATION of Israel.

But who is behind it?&amp;nbsp; Why would anyone&amp;nbsp;advertize this concept on the social network?&amp;nbsp; I am trying to find out. My first step was to research the general concept by checking the Biblical texts.&amp;nbsp; A very insightful &lt;a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/247/imperial-israel-the-nile-to-euphrates-calumny"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; was written by Daniel Pipes in 1994 that is still relevant today.&amp;nbsp; Obviously whoever set up the Great Israel Facebook page did it to stir up Allah's Mischief-makers if in fact it was not one of clan that actually set up the site. The threats were vicious so the site appears to have vanished, not threats against the site or the creators, threats of slaughter against all Jews!&amp;nbsp; Even suggest the concept of a Greater Israel, from the above article, it is supposed this is more of a suggestion by Blackstonians than Jews, is much worse than shouting fire in a crowded building.&amp;nbsp; Even discussing a Greater Israel&amp;nbsp;stimulates the &lt;u&gt;Wild Stampede&lt;/u&gt; and it is for that very reason a Greater Israel may be set in motion. What the wicked fears will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

The two groups as delineated by both what are called the old and new testaments, cannot be separated. Isaiah 49:6: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” The word salvation here is the Hebrew word yeshua ישועתי&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus (Yeshua) was named Salvation. The nickname in English from the Greek is Jesus, for the Arabs it was Issa. But when Jesus walked on earth no one said “Jesus” or “Issa”, those all came later.&amp;nbsp; It was Yeshua and to the Hebrew ear it was Salvation. We have to answer why was he named Jesus Christ, that is, ‘Salvation, the Anointed One?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever watched a movie about Jesus that is in English, he is always called Jesus:&amp;nbsp; From Hebrew, to Greek, to English. There the entire meaning of the name is lost.&amp;nbsp; Pretending you were back in the days when Jesus walked in the world and the language was English rather than Hebrew and what would you hear?&amp;nbsp; "Look here comes Jesus Christ!"? &amp;nbsp;How about, "Look, here comes Yeshua the Messiah!"? No, you would hear, "Look here comes Salvation, the Anointed One!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because we have been separated from the Jewishness of the texts, we have been separated from knowing all the fullness that these text have for us. So whether you say Jesus, Yeshua or Salvation, it is the same name and the same Son of God. Those that believe in him are of the same fold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-1469336074897547866?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/1469336074897547866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=1469336074897547866' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1469336074897547866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1469336074897547866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2011/10/preservered-of-jacob-and-gentile.html' title='The Preservered of Jacob and the Gentile Believers'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-9202676175713980546</id><published>2011-03-07T14:41:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-03-07T14:41:01.628-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Somalis For Jesus: Somali Refugees in Libya Need Your Help Now</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://somalisforjesus.blogspot.com/2011/02/somali-refugees-in-libya-need-your-help.html?spref=bl"&gt;Somalis For Jesus: Somali Refugees in Libya Need Your Help Now&lt;/a&gt;: "Dr. Yusuf Dirir Ali, MDThursday, Feb. 24, 2011 Hundreds of Somali refugees are stranded in Libya.

Everyday we are faced with &lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/bulletin-of-christian-persecution-september-18-2009/"&gt;news stories&lt;/a&gt; and of Mohammadans persecuting Christians, women, non-cult members and themselves. It is hard not to share the victim’s pain and this empathy of course will never change. But to wake up each day and be Blackstonian free gives a great sense of personal joy. To end each day with a calm sense of this freedom adds to this joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free from the angry ravings of Mohammad &amp;amp; Mohammadans,&lt;br /&gt;Free from ramadan,&lt;br /&gt;Free from animal sacrifice,&lt;br /&gt;Free from the headcoverings,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom from blackstonian duplicity,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom of thought and conscience,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom from the sin of Islam,&lt;br /&gt;Free from Islamic historical propaganda,&lt;br /&gt;Free of mosques,&lt;br /&gt;Free of imams,&lt;br /&gt;Free of the koran,&lt;br /&gt;Free of Muhammad’s biography,&lt;br /&gt;Free of the old raider’s sayings,&lt;br /&gt;Free of the moon god’s observances &amp;amp; traditions,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom to test the Truth,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom to live a godly life,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom from the backwardness of Islamic controlled societies,&lt;br /&gt;Freedom to seek God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mohammadan strife against people will continue, I suppose, until its inevitable decline and demise, but the joy will always continue.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-8855947539991598133?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/8855947539991598133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=8855947539991598133' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8855947539991598133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8855947539991598133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/09/joys-of-being-free-of-islam.html' title='The Joys of Being Free of Islam'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6699077898793041303</id><published>2010-07-10T09:18:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-07-18T20:58:26.876-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blackstonianism'/><title type='text'>Alpha Arae Reasoning of Blackstonianism</title><content type='html'>Every word of the Koran came from the mouth of Mohammad. Blackstonians never attribute any of the words of the Koran to any other human being, though historically this is&amp;nbsp;arguably in doubt.&amp;nbsp;But assume for now this is true. If so, each word came to his mouth from his mind. The only reference that these words came from the Blackstonian version of the Biblical Angel Gabriel was Mohammad. The only testimony that the words given to Mohammad from the Blackstonian version of the Biblical Angel &amp;nbsp;Gabriel came from the Arabic god Allah was Mohammad. All the words of the Koran praising Mohammad, exhortations to follow his example, all the commands to obey Mohammad,&amp;nbsp;and thus&amp;nbsp;obeying the god Allah was from the mind of Mohammad. The debate of where Mohammad's mind obtained the words, from the Blackstonian angel Jibril who does not appear in actions anything like the Biblical Gabriel , from the devil or a demon, from his own experiences, observations, scrambled within a complex abnormal brain and spat out distorted from seizures , cave gas , congenital, or acquired mental and physical disorders, or a combination of or all of the above, that debate will continue unresolved. But it remains, the words came from his mind. And thus was created and remains, Blackstonian Circle of Reasoning that has and will entraps and enslaves every Mohammadan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any discussion with a Blackstonian, any debate or discourse, The Mohammadan cannot rid himself from this reasoning.&amp;nbsp;Knowing this they will search for other proofs but all within the confines of what came from Mohammad's mind/mouth.&amp;nbsp;Often now they&amp;nbsp;will give fallacious and at times humorous explanations of science within the Koran, the words from Mohammad's mouth.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Or the shop-worn statement of how such a book could not have been written by man (words from Mohammad's mouth), and by the way, yes it could have. I'll refer you to &lt;em&gt;The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn&lt;/em&gt; by Mark Twain, a book with as much science as the Koran, without grammatical error, free of contradictions and certainly more uplifting. In fact I challenge anyone to find one contradiction in the entire novel, just one scientific error. Each and every word came from the mind of Samuel Clemens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To avoid facing this one steadfast fact of their flawed reasoning, Blackstonians need to keep speaking in circles, deceive others and themselves, faster and faster the spin, while changing the subject and pointing to others, pushing forward as if&amp;nbsp;hoping to reach a fictitious place and time when no one is left to question the dizziness of it all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6699077898793041303?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6699077898793041303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6699077898793041303' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6699077898793041303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6699077898793041303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2010/04/alpha-arae-reasoning-of-blackstonianism.html' title='Alpha Arae Reasoning of Blackstonianism'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-833931253746281114</id><published>2010-05-28T16:25:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-05-28T16:25:07.046-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Drawing Mohammad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='koran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Drawing Mohammed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Motoons'/><title type='text'>Drawing Mohammad: A Civil Right and a Religious Duty</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TAAu9oHxILI/AAAAAAAAADY/UjY7VFZPKKY/s1600/28121_1374733542681_1662106884_899071_5457991_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TAAu9oHxILI/AAAAAAAAADY/UjY7VFZPKKY/s320/28121_1374733542681_1662106884_899071_5457991_n.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed's Kartoon Kafirs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Kenneth Roberts &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 28, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the TV sitcom 'Green Acres', Oliver Wendell Douglas, a New York attorney runs for public office against the popular incumbent. A rumor starts, suggesting that Douglas had been debarred as a lawyer. Though not true, the rural folk keep repeating the lie during the campaign, until everyone accepts it as an established fact… and besides, it's highly amusing to repeat the slander. Candidate Douglas is frustrated beyond endurance. Even though he is an accomplished attorney, he doesn't stand a chance against this entrenched prejudice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Koran, Mohammed uses the same technique. All sorts of things in the Koran are no more than cartoonish misrepresentations of people and other religions, but Moslems have no problem accepting them as established facts, merely because Mohammed said so and repeated them over and over, giving them divine authority… and besides, Mohammed's caricatures are highly amusing! Cartoons work. Hyperbole works. They entertain. They work viscerally by circumventing the intellect and appealing directly to the emotions through laughter and sneering mockery. A thing doesn't have to be true to be fun! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mocking outsiders is fun! It puts 'them' down, puts 'us' above them and thus dehumanizes 'them'. 'We' get control of 'them'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Mohammed, not only do kafir-subhumans deserve to be mocked, but they basically lack a right to share the earth with Moslems. They are on earth by the kind permission and mercy of Moslems who magnanimously restrain themselves from removing the kafirs altogether. By mocking their legitimate overlords (the Moslems), kafirs lose their right to exist on earth. That is the Sunna, the example, of Mohammed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the TV episode, lawyer Douglas starts shouting, 'I was not debarred!' but no one hears him over the howls of bemused laughter. Mohammed discovered how effective laughing at one's opponents could be. He mocked all who didn't follow him, starting with the Jews, calling them sons of pigs and apes, and at other times calling them 'donkeys carrying the Taurat'. Mohammed refused to pronounce it 'Torah'. He distorted the names of people in the Bible as well, no doubt to make them sound funny. He told humiliating stories about Biblical heroes. Abraham had a humorous scrotal hernia. Talking rocks stole Abraham's clothes and ran away with them. Solomon bends over and overhears the language of ants. Trees, clouds and other objects in nature come alive and speak. Such imagery could come out of Tom and Jerry, but it is there in Mohammed's holy book revealed by his god, who only communicated with Mohammed. Mohammed also hired writers to lampoon his enemies in limericks. Mohammed could not take a joke at his own expense. No! Mohammed's narcissism was sacred! And poking fun at it was an unforgivable act of high treason punishable by death! He had writers assassinated who lampooned him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, as with other matters, Mohammed gave himself a monopoly on cartoons. He wanted his opponents to be unarmed in the matter of satirizing him…as do pious Moslems today. Today, Moslems claim the right to satirize Jews, Americans, the British, the Pope and anyone else. But no one may satirize them. Moslems place themselves and their collective offended narcissism above comment. To criticize Moslems is an act of high treason against our divinely-appointed overlords! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are never told why Mohammed's narcissism needs defending more than another's narcissism. We are merely told that Mohammed taught his followers to defend his narcissism by assassinating critics…and that this is confirmed in Islamic law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since Moslems claim a monopoly on lampooning, Moslems expect to fight opponents whose two hands are tied behind their backs. They expect to control all debate, so no one talks back. They expect to behead all verbal critique of Islam by removing freedom of speech from our writers, teachers and politicians. They would behead kafirs societies by silencing their leaders who are charged with hearing, speaking and thinking for the benefit of the body politick. They would silence opposition to Islam with a slice of the scimitar of censorship! This is being done by violence and threats of violence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed considered resistance to his censorship as unspeakable insolence that must be attacked with the utmost fury! Mohammed's narcissism would not bear the smallest slight. So he found a way to stop it. All laughter stops when a person picks up a knife. According to Mohammed, such murder pleases Allah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Mohammed sent out his followers armed with knives, the mockers stopped mockery in Arabia forever. Anyone who disagreed with Mohammed left the country immediately, leaving Mohammed in complete control of all communications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TAAvM9ICdvI/AAAAAAAAADg/Xluf_KXq50k/s1600/article-1279690-09A7E991000005DC-659_634x247.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TAAvM9ICdvI/AAAAAAAAADg/Xluf_KXq50k/s320/article-1279690-09A7E991000005DC-659_634x247.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today Moslems still demand a monopoly on mockery, a monopoly on satire, a monopoly on cartoons. They want a safe position above the debate from which they can verbally lay into others. Islamic mockery goes only one way…towards the kafirs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed's mockery of Christian doctrines was as satirical as his mockery of the Jews. Mohammed's slanders of Christianity are some of the worst examples of his cartooning! The easiest and most distinctive Christian doctrine to remember is that of the divine Trinity, three persons in one God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Rather than admit he understood the clearly worded message, Mohammed intentionally distorted it as 'Father, Mother Mary and Son of God'. He obviously knew Mary was not part of the Trinity. He knew what he was doing. He was drawing a cartoon in which he removed the Holy Ghost from the picture. The first cult object tossed from the Kaaba by Mohammed was an image of a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why was the Holy Ghost such a danger to Mohammed? Sometimes people reveal what frightens them by never mentioning what they fear! Mohammed never mentions the Holy Ghost. The gentle dove represents spiritual stillness, tameness and the Golden Rule. Their opposite qualities are activity, ferocity and opportunism. A world-conquering empire needed energetic warriors with the latter qualities, rather than contemplative Christian monks in a monastery preaching benevolence towards one's enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed's ultimate mockery of Christians was to mock the Virgin Mary by flying to heaven and make her his bride. Mohammed became the father of all Christians. His mockery of Christians was then almost complete. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Practically everything Mohammed said about Christianity was a caricature and a distortion. In a final cartoon of Christianity, Mohammed claimed Jesus would return to betray and butcher his own followers and then break the crosses they possessed as the symbols of the Golden Rule! This is an astonishing cartoon caricature of everything Christians consider holy and a revelation of Mohammed's psychology of betrayal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worst part of Mohammed's cartoons is that not only is he caricaturing the original doctrines, but he then claims that his cartoon represents THE TRUE IMAGE of them! Jewish and Christian doctrines as defined by the Jews and Christians themselves are wrong! Only Mohammed's cartoons are THE TRUE doctrines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No professional cartoonist would ever claim that! Cartoonists live enough in reality to know that their cartoons are highly exaggerated misrepresentations emphasizing a humorous aspect of events or personalities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Mohammed thought his cartoons were REAL, he had obviously left reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koranic cartoons misrepresenting Jews, Christians and the pluralistic, cultured Arabs of Mohammed's day are not reality, but Mohammed's distorted comic strips, which Moslems have accepted as THE TRUTH ever since. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed could not tell the difference between a cartoon and reality…or at least he pretended not to, if it was in his own political interest. This makes Mohammed a cynical, scheming politician, rather than a sincere spiritual leader. Was he mad or a schemer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed's cartoons of 'others' in the Koran are no more real than the evil and dehumanizing cartoons of Jews that appeared for 20 years in the Nazi propaganda newspaper, Der Stürmer. The purpose of these cartoons was the same as Mohammed's Koranic Kafir Kartoons …to dehumanize the victims, make them out to be diseased animals and give Moslems the emotional freedom to treat these subhumans violently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/mohammeds-kartoon-kafirs"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;copyright (c) CBSX, LLC &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Courtesy of &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1137240718"&gt;politicalislam.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-833931253746281114?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/833931253746281114/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=833931253746281114' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/833931253746281114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/833931253746281114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2010/05/drawing-mohammad-civil-right-and.html' title='Drawing Mohammad: A Civil Right and a Religious Duty'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/TAAu9oHxILI/AAAAAAAAADY/UjY7VFZPKKY/s72-c/28121_1374733542681_1662106884_899071_5457991_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-5201133541494003225</id><published>2010-05-27T17:38:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-05-27T17:40:06.896-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cordoba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New York'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iman Feisal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mege-Mosque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ground Zero'/><title type='text'>Oppose the Cordoba Initiative Mega-Mosque in New York</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RxFzFIDbKpg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RxFzFIDbKpg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;a href="http://www.answeringmuslims.com/"&gt;http://www.answeringmuslims.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Defend our nation from this unwanted intrusion.

When&amp;nbsp;the current president had&amp;nbsp;made the &lt;a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/04/once-again-president-obama-breaks-promise-to-call-armenian-genocide-genocide.html"&gt;campaign promise&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.anca.org/press_releases/press_releases.php?prid=1365"&gt;(also here)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to do so, he or his associates were it seems&amp;nbsp;not aware that one day they had to face the same thuggery as had the Armenians. Now with Turkish&amp;nbsp;bullies about, plans and&amp;nbsp;hopes for &lt;a href="http://www.meforum.org/2045/fethullah-gulens-grand-ambition"&gt;the rebirth of the Ottoman Empire&lt;/a&gt; and the march of&amp;nbsp;Islamization that&amp;nbsp;abruptly ended after World War 1 continues. Short of calling the event a genocide, the president apparently&amp;nbsp;attempts to move to what he perceives as a moderate position last week&amp;nbsp;by calling this genocide "one of the worst atrocities" of the twentieth century and a "devastating chapter of history" as if to put this all in the past. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Armenian Genocide was not only one of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century, it was one of the&amp;nbsp;worst in the history of humankind. Of course it was a devastating chapter of history but the chapter is not completely written as the living Armenians are still at risk since the forces in Turkey that led to the Genocide are being rekindled.&amp;nbsp; No, Nationalistic Muslim Turks do not view this new position as moderate or conciliatory. In their view a moderate statement would be "the genocide did not happen" or "the Christian Armenians were traitors and deserved this annihilation" and thus have called the&amp;nbsp;president's statements&amp;nbsp;through the Turkish foreign minister as "unacceptable".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course it was one the worst atrocities, of course it was devastating, of course it was the Muslim Turks that perpetrated this unspeakable crime against God and man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brief&amp;nbsp;starting point for&amp;nbsp;this&amp;nbsp;histororical event: &lt;a href="http://www.religionfacts.com/islam/history/ottoman.htm"&gt;Armenian Genocide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"After World War I the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) - more commonly known as the "Young Turks" - decided to carry out a genocide against the Armenian people under Ottoman control. It is estimated that one and a half million Armenians were massacred between 1915 and 1923, out of the previous population of around two million. The Armenians were subjected to torture, massacre and expropriation of their wealth. The great majority of the Armenians were forced from their homes in Armenia and Anatolia and left to die of hunger and thirst in Syria where they fled.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;There was a strong outcry in the United States, United Kingdom, France and Russia against the mistreatment of the Armenians. The Allies demanded that the Young Turks be tried for warcrimes. However, there was no intervention beyond helping the small remainder of the Armenians who were still alive in Syria. After the war there were no restitutions to the Armenian people for their loss of wealth and human lives by the Ottomans."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from: http://www.religionfacts.com/islam/history/ottoman.htm&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6140147767025083899?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6140147767025083899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6140147767025083899' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6140147767025083899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6140147767025083899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2010/04/reminders-of-armenian-genocide.html' title='Reminders of the Armenian Genocide'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-4036841011448415944</id><published>2010-04-21T19:57:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-21T20:22:25.166-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leaving Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='apostacy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FDI'/><title type='text'>Leaving Islam?

One has&amp;nbsp;in part&amp;nbsp;feelings of sadness for the suffering of the Savior and we do dwell on this, yet we know the end of the story. We know of the resurrection and ascension without which Yeshua's death would not even have been&amp;nbsp;recorded, at least as a &lt;strong&gt;significant event&lt;/strong&gt;. But He was seen by at least 500 people according to the Bible and that is collaborated by the events that followed, the persecution and killing of around 10,000 Jewish believers soon followed. They were so convinced of His resurrection and ascension they could not deny their own beliefs to save their lives. I read the historical account of some of their executions, being burned to illuminate the coliseum, covered with animal skins then torn apart by lions. The author who I now do not remember, along with his fellow Romans considered the Christians evil but still were amazed and perplexed at their apparent inability to recant their faith. That is how strong&amp;nbsp;they believed in Good Friday and how the event ended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little history of Easter &lt;a href="http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/origin-of-easter.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/easter3.htm"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easter is probably one of the oldest celebrated holidays in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the world; it just hasn't always gone under that name. It is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in fact the Catholic Church that dubbed the celebration of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this all important holiday Easter, and in fact moved the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;date to converge with Hebrew and Pagan holidays so that when&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the celebration was held it was held by all folk. But&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;because of this, pagan symbols worked their way into the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;holiday, hence the rabbit and the eggs, which in ancient&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;religions symbolized fertility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some historians have researched the origin of the name and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;believe that it derives from ancient Norsemen dialect&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Eostur" or "Ostar" or "Eastar" meaning "season of the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;growing sun" or "season of new birth." But the name "Easter"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;has also been proscribed to an old goddess of Teutonic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mythology. St. Bede, an eighth century English historian,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;traced the name back to a goddess named Eostre or Eastre of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anglo-Saxon origin. She was the goddess of Spring and the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whole month of April was dedicated to her. Interestingly,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;her symbol was the hare….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also during this time that the pagan holiday of the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rites of Spring on the Vernal Equinox is celebrated. This&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was a brilliant move by the Catholic Church to get people to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;join the church and break from pagan tradition and still be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;able to celebrate their beliefs. Pagans during that time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;celebrated the return of the Sun God which was an easy shift&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for them to then believe in the resurrection of the Son of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God who saved them from our sins and death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasted from &lt;a href="http://petcaretips.net/easter-history.html"&gt;http://petcaretips.net/easter-history.html&lt;/a&gt; Read the entire article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the fact, many have come and tried to explain this event. Many convince themselves that this is all mythology or that Yeshua did not die, the further from the event in time the easier it is to dismiss it. The misinterpretation of some photos from the Apollo moon landings led to some to conclude the landings never happened. A ridiculous idea that would have to involve possibly a 100,000 silent conspirators! Yet a poll in 2009 indicated that 25% of Brits did not believe man landed on the moon. &lt;a href="http://kn.theiet.org/news/jul09/moon-landing-survey.cfm"&gt;http://kn.theiet.org/news/jul09/moon-landing-survey.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe if I live long enough, some day I will hear of a theory that the twin towers in New York never really existed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-3193287639328641947?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/3193287639328641947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=3193287639328641947' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3193287639328641947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3193287639328641947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2010/04/good-friday-and-end-of-event.html' title='Good Friday and the End of the Event'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-8600131793879195315</id><published>2010-01-05T03:27:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-05T04:27:12.669-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Al Qaeda, Mujahideen&lt;br /&gt;Talibani, Moderate&lt;br /&gt;Sunni..................Shi'ite&lt;br /&gt;Car Burning Parisians.&lt;br /&gt;Extremist, Radical&lt;br /&gt;Ka'ab Bowing, Mohammadan&lt;br /&gt;Secular, Musselman&lt;br /&gt;"Death to the American"&lt;br /&gt;Allah, Gay-A-Brel&lt;br /&gt;Offended Pakistan&lt;br /&gt;Copt Killing Egypt-chee-an&lt;br /&gt;Quran, Hadiths&lt;br /&gt;Sunna, Ummah&lt;br /&gt;Fan-atic Mozz-A-Lim&lt;br /&gt;Devout or Secularized&lt;br /&gt;Its still all Izz-A-Lem&lt;br /&gt;Mohound Achmed of Amsterdam&lt;br /&gt;Bomb-er or Terrorist&lt;br /&gt;Imans from Birmingham&lt;br /&gt;Holy or Holey&lt;br /&gt;However you call the Ko-Ran&lt;br /&gt;Ayatollah Komedian:&lt;br /&gt;There's no fun in Izz-A-Lem&lt;br /&gt;"you pig, you dog, you Chrish-Chee-An"&lt;br /&gt;Wiping out Armenians&lt;br /&gt;Con-A-Verted Africans&lt;br /&gt;Arabized Iranians&lt;br /&gt;Kiss a Blackstone, Moham did&lt;br /&gt;Why can't you just say it?

Why? Why? No one who has read Ali Sina, Robert Spencer or many others asks this question.

This community must institute in every mosque and every school the error of these Koranic teachings instead of claiming victimhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koranic veres not only explain violence toward other people but also explain Islamic cohesion and that cohesion can be reduced to one word: Fear. Fear of hell, fear of burning, fear of punishment is the entire basis of Blackstonianism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fear surrounds the Muslim, in a sense like a ring a fire leaving no path of escape except to walk into the flames of their own fear and if and when that happens, they discover the fear (flames) was all an illusion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-7571206682772479292?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/7571206682772479292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=7571206682772479292' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7571206682772479292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7571206682772479292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/11/islam-now-victim-of-fort-hood-massacre.html' title='Islam Now the Victim of the Fort Hood Massacre?'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-8088202402663188466</id><published>2009-06-23T11:25:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-24T21:17:21.959-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Persia'/><title type='text'>Iranian Change?

Thus, this small Islamic controlled country and member of the Organization of Islamic Conferences (OIC) situated along the coast of the South China Sea and ruled by one family for over 600 years has sold the vestiges of this present earth’s ancestors; the remains of the dead bodies of once living organisms. Morphed over time into a substance containing the past energy of the sun that we call oil. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John, a disciple of Jesus Christ the Son of God, recorded a vision he had while on a Greek Island several thousand years ago. Just after he saw what could be the &lt;a href="http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/05/prelude-to-study-of-islamic-controlled.html"&gt;first Islamic beast rise from sea &lt;/a&gt;he saw what could be a second Islamic beast rise from the earth. Why the earth as a symbol? Oil. Oil gave life to the beast. In books and websites about tiny, wealthy, prosperous, peaceful Brunei the great mosques are showcased, built from the wealth of oil. Majestic it could be said. Certainly they are the largest and tallest of the buildings which infers to its subjects and supposedly to others, the supremacy of Islam. In reality it was the vestiges of the bodies of the earth’s past life forms that have been resurrected by rig and pump that brought the wealth and the resurgence of modern Islam, that second lamb-like dragon-speaking beast of John’s vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the 1400’s the introduction of Islam to Brunei was due to trade inducements rather than the sword and has been propagated by an unbroken string of 29 sultans. The state is controlled by political Islam, a sharia based system that the muslim inhabitants called Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB). Though its constitution does lip service to freedom of religion at best, Brunei merely allows the Christian religion and Chinese ideologies to exist in a tightly controlled fashion. Beliefs other than the state controlled system, cannot be taught in any school, nor spoken about in public. Christian schools must teach anti-Christian Islam. Religious symbols are illegal except for state controlled Islamic symbols.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;An example of one such symbol is the national flag. As with other Islamic controlled states the flag contains Arab script and the crescent moon. From a Christian viewpoint the crescent is a very appropriate symbol for Islam. The first chapter of Genesis tells how God created two lights, greater light was the sun that ruled the day, and the lessor was the moon that ruled the night. This waning crescent is not a true light in itself but a reflection of the sun off a cold, lifeless rock; the light that rules the night. A waning crescent whose next phase is a moonless night of darkness. Now the flags of the armed forces for Brunei contain Islam’s other symbol, the crossed swords, which symbolizes violence, conquest, death and forced rule. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the state continues to move forward with its philosophy of a purer Islam and when oil incomes and wealth begin to wane like the crescent moon, pray for those remaining Christians and Chinese. As in other Islamic controlled nations, they may become scapegoats and dealt with harshly by a populace carried along by the ever-darkening momentum force of seeking a purer Islam. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government assists muslim subjects financially for trips to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Before starting this trip the participants need to repeat a specific prayer to their god. For Christians it should be noted that the chant contains what amounts to be a distortion of and denial of the deity of Christ: Thou art without associate. The Islamic beast forces this denial and the Brunei muslim using that specific prayer called the &lt;em&gt;talbrijah&lt;/em&gt;, unknowingly rejects the mercy, grace and love of God. After entering the mosque in Mecca (right foot first) they then ask for their god to forgive their sins.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Several organizations online &lt;a href="http://www.omf.org/omf/us/peoples_and_places/countries/brunei/brunei_cont_d"&gt;ask for your prayer &lt;/a&gt;regarding Brunei and if you are interested take the time to pray. Here are some &lt;a href="http://www.30-days.net/muslims/muslims-in/asia-east/brunei/"&gt;suggested guidelines.&lt;/a&gt; Bring a few fish or a few loaves to the Lord, or find a smooth stone, who can say what may be the result! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is an opinion piece and I am not affiliated with any of the linked sites.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-875700151136428548?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/875700151136428548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=875700151136428548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/875700151136428548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/875700151136428548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/05/notes-on-brunei.html' title='Notes on Brunei'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/Shyij_7SnaI/AAAAAAAAACg/OZzbAZPUnNc/s72-c/Armed+Forces.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-5790101321333305986</id><published>2009-05-25T17:58:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T16:45:56.853-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herd of swine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Revelations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='End of Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bismillah'/><title type='text'>Prelude to a Study of Islamic Controlled Counties</title><content type='html'>Many years ago, after I read the story of how Jesus Christ sent a legion of demons into a herd of swine, the swine ran down a slope into the sea and drowned, my question was, what happen to this legion of demons and why were the details of this story even recorded in the Bible? (Mark 5:11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John in Revelations writes, "Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising out of the sea." (Rev. 13:1) My understanding has been that the sea symbolized people or nations but perhaps there is a spiritual connection to both verses. Traditionally the beast rising out of the sea had been interpreted as some western entity, Europe some say. Other Eastern Christians see the Islamic beast and the wounded head the defeat of the Ottoman Empire and with this others see the wound as the end of Islamic Caliph cerca 1913. The wounded head is healed and Islam resurges. Afterwards John sees a beast rise out of the earth.  Out of the earth? What did that symbolize? Oil related? This next beast is like a lamb, symbolizing a peaceful religion, Islam ‘lite’, the new secular Islam, but it "speaks like a dragon". Islam’s resurgence is from oil wealth, "out of the earth". This lamb has two horns, &lt;em&gt;sunni&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;shiite&lt;/em&gt;? Eastern Islam and Western Islam?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read Revelation 13 regarding the two beasts, the image that is given life (the Koran?) and understand the Christian’s dilemma in muslim controlled countries. Egypt and Brunei come to mind immediately with their ID cards that states the holder’s religion. The mark of the beast is a subject for another day and blog but consider the Greek letters that symbolized six hundred sixty and six certainly to an Arabic reader do appear to be read "in the name of Allah", the &lt;em&gt;bismillah&lt;/em&gt; followed by the Islamic symbol of crossed swords. This is detailed in Walid Shoebat’s book God’ Was on Terror. But I will go just a little further with that connection later. Shoebat points out that these symbols, the &lt;em&gt;bismillah &lt;/em&gt;and crossed swords are worn on Islamic headbands and armbands. As I study further each individually muslim controlled country, I’ll mention the symbols on flags and other cultural icons. I do not use the term muslim countries, as Islam and its control is temporary. This tenet of faith is reinforced by continuing to follow the beast thread in Revelations.

The discussion of religion is endless between the the West and Islam, and continually confusing to ordinary people yet it should be argued that ideologically everything religious about Islam is summed up in one thought stated around 40-50 AD many centuries before Islam was developed: You believe in one God, that's great! So do demons and they tremble. Aside from this and the pre-Islamic Arab traditions and rituals subsequently incorporated along with the personal idiosyncrasies of the founder(s) that were progressively added to help flesh out an adopted creed, it should be argued there is little religious substance within this political system to speak of. So it is necessary to ask many thoughtful questions regarding the politics of Islam, without bringing up the subject of Islam's religious aspect. For example, from a political point of view, though the founder of Islam did not engage in battles against armies but instead raids against commercial caravans and civilian populations, to say that the founder was engaged in war is true and thus the actions should be judged in a political sense using historical and modern criteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The religious aspect of Islam can be seen as a veneer and thus instead be regarded as a political system. It is and always was a political movement so Americans need to ask questions like, do we believe political groups such as Islam should be free and unrestricted within the USA in their implied and stated political goal of dominating all other non-members individuals and groups? If you doubt Islam's religious aspect is only a thin covering for a political/power system, consider the following statistical study &lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/statistical-analysis-and-islamic-doctrine/"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt; Only 2.6% of the Koran "talks about the overall good of humanity", while the majoring of Koran (61%) speaks "ills of unbelievers or calls for their violent conquest and subjugation".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other questions might be, do Americans believe it is moral for members of political organizations such as Islam to deceive non-members if it is in the best interest to the growth of their organization and to retain such practices within their founding documents? Do Americans believe political groups such as Islam should retain and have the right to practice, display, spread or advocate violent, oppressive, hateful and bigoted articles written in their founding documents?&lt;br /&gt; Again, one god, lots of rituals, adopted tenets; got it, ignored, now deal with this political movement and its messages and actions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-8364993575469400747?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/8364993575469400747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=8364993575469400747' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8364993575469400747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8364993575469400747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/04/was-founder-of-islam-war-criminal.html' title='Was the founder of Islam a war criminal?'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-7099959230806829970</id><published>2009-03-09T20:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T10:22:57.375-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='psychology'/><title type='text'>Westerner's Guide to Muslim Psychology</title><content type='html'>2006 Article by &lt;a href="http://isaacschrodinger.typepad.com/isaacschrodinger/2006/10/psychology_of_m.html"&gt;Isaac Schrodinger&lt;/a&gt;

has sent a written apology to &lt;a href="http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/region/netherlands/090210-wilders-britain-banned"&gt;Dutch MP Geert Wilders&lt;/a&gt; this morning stating that British Law forbad him to meet Wilders at Heathrow Airport this week. Recently after a series of anti-Jewish outbursts, a complaint was later filed to police and Laxton was arrested and charged with inciting religious hatred, which carries a maximum seven-year prison term. It was reported he shouted that IDF soldiers should be "wiped off the face of the Earth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Wilders who was due to go to London this Thursday by invitation of the House of Lords, received a letter today, 10 February, from the British ambassador to the Netherlands telling him that he was not welcome in Great Britain, reportedly because his visit would constitute a threat to public order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Geert and I have a lot in common,” Laxton mused after his recent bail out, “ I’m told that in his movie &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3369102968312745410&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;Fitna&lt;/a&gt; he quotes Muslims and sacred texts saying the same things that I have allegedly said and for that he was also arrested in the Netherlands.

How do the Dutch feel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to one &lt;a href="http://snouck.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dutch blogger&lt;/a&gt; a recent poll indicated that 51% of the respondents were in agreement with the statement, "the Court made an unacceptable breach of the position of a MP representing more than half a million Dutch voters".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geenstijl.nl/mt/archieven/2009/01/85_nederlanders_tegen_vervolgi.html"&gt;Another poll &lt;/a&gt;asked a simple and direct question: &lt;em&gt;Moet Wilders vervolgd worden?&lt;/em&gt; 84.5% of the respondents said no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For background of this story, check out this &lt;a href="http://kleinverzet.blogspot.com/2009/01/breaking-wilders-must-be-prosecuted.html"&gt;Dutch blogger.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a comment regarding the poll from Snouck from the Netherlands regarding this poll:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="137754"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Xeriscapist -The Geenstijl poll that you mention is not representative for the Dutch population but for the readers of Geenstijl. Right-wingers and Freedom-lovers are overrepresented amongst readers of Geenstijl.As you can read in the rest of the Geenstijl article they are casting doubt on the accuracy of internet polls. They also mention the TNS NIPO poll which polls a more Leftwing oriented group. They show 51 percent approval for prosecuting Geert Wilders for inciting hatred against Islam.Geenstijl further seems to imply that the people who are polled by peilpunt, the poll that I used as the basis of my article, are more of the Left than of the Right.My conclusions:-all the polls are problematic.-both NPS NIPO and peilpunt poll amongst a group that is more Leftist oriented than the general population-so the support for Geert Wilders is actually even bigger than the my peilpunt-poll indicates. Support for Wilders is HIGHER amongst the general voting population than 50 percent.And finally: Even amongst the Leftist TNS NIPO poll there is only 51 percent approval for the prosecution of Geert Wilders. That is a narrow majority. I think that Geert Wilders stands a lot to win and the Government and the Court stands a lot to lose in the coming legal battle.Regards,Snouck&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-5452083712493272977?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/5452083712493272977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=5452083712493272977' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/5452083712493272977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/5452083712493272977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/01/dutch-poll-should-geert-wilders-be.html' title='Dutch Poll: Should Geert Wilders be Prosecuted? 85% No'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-844308617862812357</id><published>2009-01-20T09:09:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-18T13:12:03.462-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Philippines'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics of Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='forced converstion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political System of Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shariah'/><title type='text'>Employers in Jordan Try to Force Filipino Women to Convert to Islam.

You may want your minute and a half back after watching this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Reaction for many of the Dutch to this video and the actions of this MP is this: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Palestina heeft mijn sympathie verloren.*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;*Palistine has lost my sympathy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1/7/2009 Update: Pro-Israeli, Anti-Jihadist &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/024282.php#comments"&gt;Rallies&lt;/a&gt; in the USA and London&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-7507053777172991741?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/7507053777172991741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=7507053777172991741' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7507053777172991741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7507053777172991741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2009/01/protests-in-western-streets.html' title='&quot;Hamas, Hamas, Joden aan het gas&apos;'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-4584810063865954835</id><published>2008-12-27T15:42:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T22:12:58.571-06:00</updated><title type='text'>World Marvels at Israeli Restraint</title><content type='html'>Not reported in most of the world’s major media outlets is Saturday’s reaction throughout the internet of Israel’s response to several hundred rocket attacks by the terrorist group Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I never realized how many "educated people" both in the US and around the world have no clue about Israel and think only the worst about the Jews in the Middle East."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where were Egypt, Russia, OIC, EU, Britain, Sarkozy, US &amp;amp; Austria when Hamas was pounding Israel with daily barrage of rockets?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Most people around the world are supporting the Israeli government for protecting their citizens against the deadly terrorist organization Hamas and their rockets."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As long as Israel's democracy and protection of its people are intact, it will always be a nation that epitomizes a great civilization."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"because the Jews of Israel are no longer behaving like dhimmis, unresponsively cowering beneath the threats and blows of the arrogant swaggering snarling Muslim supremacists, but are...oh, shock! horrors! - HITTING BACK AND DEFENDING THEMSELVES, as do free human beings."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The pretense that everyone wants peace is belied by the words of the Hamas leadership in Gaza."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" ‘U.N.

Details:</title><content type='html'>A &lt;a href="http://www.menafn.com/qn_news_story_s.asp?StoryId=1093226162"&gt;Saudi Arabian labor minister denied &lt;/a&gt;(story has been removed from Arab News service) that the new labor law bans the mixing of genders in the workplace. Instead it allows women to work in sales jobs in all women's only stores where naturally men are banned. So to not be confused, &lt;strong&gt;no&lt;/strong&gt; Saudi Arabia is &lt;strong&gt;not &lt;/strong&gt;allowing men and women to mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an unrelated story, Saudi Arabia has recently ask the nations of the world to &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601091&amp;amp;sid=aWy0RJPu9ELA"&gt;ban together to fight terrorism.&lt;/a&gt; In my very humble opinion, getting to the root cause of terrorism, the Islamic teachings of jihad and supremacy will most certainly not headline the minister's "things to do list." But lets dance around with the story anyhow. Remembering Sandra Mackey's book, &lt;em&gt;The Saudis,&lt;/em&gt; (often and incorrectly viewed as outdated) I could conclude&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;these type of gestures are more often than not followed by little action. However the Saudis are not chasing their collective tail either and now at this stage have more to lose than to gain. Can they stop a movement that in a sense they began? But the real issue is not terrorism. For them isn't it what is or is not beneficial for Islam? For free people, not under the yoke of the teachings and life of a false "prophet", isn't the issue really a question of continuing freedom of thought, speech and belief? Isn't that a much more important consideration than whether or not the Saudis can help stamp out Islamic terrorism?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g_iWCsRbR0Bnb1sWAeiEgG0lPRyQ"&gt;Saudi Court: 8 Year Old Married Girl too Young to Divorce &lt;/a&gt;12/21/08&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-9207708596643511127?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/9207708596643511127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=9207708596643511127' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/9207708596643511127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/9207708596643511127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/12/saudi-arabia-new-labor-law-does-not-ban.html' title='Saudi Arabia: New Labor Law does not ban Gender Mixing in the Workplace, Instead it Bans Gender Mixing in the Workplace.

But the &lt;strong&gt;Extension&lt;/strong&gt; also informs citizens that the &lt;a href="http://www.extension.umn.edu/info-u/nutrition/BJ130.html"&gt;Koran only permits &lt;/a&gt;the eating of halal meat and meat should &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; be purchased from halal meat shops. Isn't it then easy to conclude that the shops must be Muslim owned? &lt;a href="http://homepages.nyu.edu/~ajm256/meatshopsny.html"&gt;if not.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Somali language the extension recommends:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Balse, isku taxaluji in aad hilibkaaga ka soo iibsatid Xalaal Meet. Xataa hadaad dukaanka wayn cunada qaar ka soo iibsatid. (Even if you shop at large stores for some food, try to buy all meat from a Halal meat store.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am certain Minnesota farmers, food producers and retailers who are paying to have this advice distributed would not approve the use of their taxes to steer people away from their products or by innuendo suggest their products are inferior. I doubt few would support the use of their tax money to spread Mohammad's dictates through the Extension System.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I would suggest to the University of Minnesota Extension stop making thiesereferences to the Koran and suggestions to people to only eat hatal meat and only buy from hatal shops or 1.) reference this advice with scientific studies or 2.) include views of other religions such as &lt;a href="http://www.fitnessandfreebies.com/christian/bibleonmeat.html"&gt;this.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Understand that many new immigrants no longer want to continue to be oppressed by Islamic law, as now propagated by the University of Minnesota.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-487803654921006539?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/487803654921006539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=487803654921006539' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/487803654921006539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/487803654921006539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/12/university-of-minnesota-extension.html' title='University Of Minnesota Extension Advises Minnesotan Muslims to Buy Only From Halal Meat Shops.'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6751487439683050350</id><published>2008-11-28T10:48:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T13:13:47.519-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bombay'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='India'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mumbai'/><title type='text'>Raiders of Bombay</title><content type='html'>As many people are trying to put a name on the terrorist who attacked in Mumbai, &lt;strong&gt;in many communities there seems little confusion&lt;/strong&gt;. India had been subjected to Islamic raids prior to India's conquest in the 12th Century by Islam. In 1947 East and West Pakistan were formed out of India. Moslims predominate Pakistan (13% Hindu) and Hindus in India (13% Moslim) as it is now. East Pakistan is now Bangladesh, West Pakistan is now Pakistan. The raids continue as established in the Koran by Mohammad. Call it what you will, call it separatists, call it Al Qaeda, call it a "previously unknown group", it’s a continuation of Islam’s often and historically thwarted attempt at dominance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired by the false words of Mohammad, Aurangzeb, who called himself Alamgir I (Conqueror of the Universe) was perhaps one the greatest Islamic villains in India's history. He savaged India for 48 years. He imposed Sharia law within India, initiated laws which interfered with non-Muslim worship, taxed non-Muslims for protection, destroyed temples and works of art and forbade rebuilding of those temples and waged a continuous war of misery. On his death bed, according to Stanley Wolpert who wrote &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/New-History-India-Stanley-Wolpert/dp/0195337565/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1228016764&amp;sr=1-3"&gt;A New History of India&lt;/a&gt;,ISBN-10: 0195337565 2003 Edition, the aged thug confessed while dying in 1707 "I came alone and I go as a stranger. I do not know who I am, nor what I have been doing, I have sinned terribly, and I do not know what punishment awaits me." He died acknowledging Mohammad's lies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always Dr. Bill Warner has a clear commentary titled &lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/never-again-or-again-and-again/"&gt;"Never Again, or Again and Again"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6751487439683050350?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6751487439683050350/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6751487439683050350' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6751487439683050350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6751487439683050350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/11/raiders-in-mumbai.html' title='Raiders of Bombay'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-9063525598190845290</id><published>2008-11-21T14:39:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T14:55:59.290-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr. Bill Warner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Al-Qaida'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='House Negro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John Roberts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><title type='text'>Dr. Bill Warner Explains "House Negro" Insult</title><content type='html'>Earlier this week, Al-Qaida's Ayman al-Zawahri's insult of our President elect was reported throughout the media.

I remember similar questions about Kennedy’s Catholicism, Nixon’s Quaker upbringing, Jim Carter, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Romney, Obama. Questioning candidates’ religious beliefs (or lack there of) is traditional and perhaps a duty. Since Islam is in most of the world where it is practiced, a religious, social and political system and not just a religion, it is legitimate to question and criticize its traditions, history and teachings. This is often misinterpreted as being anti-muslim hatred, it is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't personally know a single person who has said they hate Muslims and I would not have anything to do with a person who practices this. I know many, many people who question the teachings of Islam, who criticize the traditions and biases practiced in predominately Islamic countries, who critically analyze the teachings of the Koran and Muhammad, who may show the ugly side of historical Islam. It is analysis and questioning, but it is not anti-muslim hatred. Hatred against a person is simply wrong.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-3084310972864783504?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/3084310972864783504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=3084310972864783504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3084310972864783504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3084310972864783504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/11/questioning-islam-is-not-anti-muslim.html' title='Questioning Islam is not Anti-Muslim Hatred'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-5523581191614024946</id><published>2008-11-11T17:46:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T20:38:30.588-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Darfur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Good America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daoud Hari'/><title type='text'>The "Good America" was in the Room</title><content type='html'>Daoud Hiri, an African now living in Maryland, was a translator in Darfur, Sudan&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0uTfN8THvA"&gt;. In his book&lt;/a&gt; he describes his trial in Sudan together with a network correspondent who was accused of spying. When he saw the faces and expressions of the US military officers sitting in the back of the court, he said he felt a sense of relief knowing that justice was at least now POSSIBLE knowing that the "good America" had entered the room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "good America" is our ideals that we try to practice, fight to maintain, teach our kids. A small group of thoughtful, committed people created America and I DO NOT DOUBT the influence a small, thoughtful, committed group can have now in its preservation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this year in South America on a coastal road in a residential area, my friend and I were stopped by a military squad. These soldiers were muscular, fierce looking, heavily armed with automatic weapons and angrily searching for a fleeing murderer. My friend from this South American country was trembling. Nine years earlier we had been together in a major South American city with personal business at the American consulate. I should have gained understanding of what that trembling was about from that time. As we were leaving the consulate at noon, the commotion began, gun shots, something was going on but in the crowd and confusion, who could tell. That night it was the major news story. An off duty security guard was approached by the military police outside a bank across from the consulate. He pulled out a pistol and shooting began in the crowded noon hour streets. The guard had been acting suspicious and apparently was planning to rob this bank. He hijacked of all things a car being driven by a public defender, upon crashing American consulate guards subdued him. My friend was a native and knew how the military would ignore innocent civilians in their pursuits. So here we were being searched by angry looking commando types and my friend can hardly function. Several months earlier back in the United States, late one evening, looked out the window and she saw local police running through the side of my yard. She turned to me, her face flushed of color, she collapsed over backwards. The sound of her body and head contacting the ceramic floor shocked me and I wasn't sure if she was unconscious from fainting or from the fall. I called an ambulance 9-1-1 and since the police were obviously in the area, they were at my door within 30 seconds. The initial event was a situation that many of us, living in the Daoud Hari's good America would not have given much thought to. The officers explained they were chasing some kid who stole a motor cycle. He had abandoned it and was running through the neighborhood, the police just happened to tackle him outside my window and my foreign friend just happened to be looking out of the window at the time. So here we are back to the squad of military commandos. I'm in a foreign country and reading the situation like I'm back in the good America because good America is within me, it is part of me, its my history, and having been raised poor, I've been given the opportunity to raise myself from those beginnings. It really is not that difficult to accomplish in America as much as I'd like to credit this to my own efforts. So at the checkpoint, my friend knows we are not in good America but in her country and she knows when you are stopped by the police or police come into your home or the military start shooting at a criminal, the results could just as well be deadly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-5523581191614024946?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/5523581191614024946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=5523581191614024946' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/5523581191614024946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/5523581191614024946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/11/good-america-was-in-room.html' title='The &quot;Good America&quot; was in the Room'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6209146453958240750</id><published>2008-11-07T06:39:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-08T14:58:17.478-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sharia financing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Supremacists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shariah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>Anti-Constitutional Forces Instruct the US Treasury</title><content type='html'>Yesterday the Treasury Department sponsored an introductory class for various government workers called Islamic Financing 101, (Seen by many as the introduction of Shariah Law to America and a first step toward replacing the US Constitution with Shariah Law).

They exclusively base these 190 articles on the words and traditions of a well known 7&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; century caravan raider believed by many non-supporters of these Supremacist Articles, to have been afflicted with many grievous mental and physical disorders. It is not my place to help these &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;fascist&lt;/span&gt; lunatics spread their 'idea' but understand that many intelligent and misguided supporters are doing their utmost best to change your form of government and eliminate your God-Given rights and personal freedom. As the underlying political movement of Islam is continuously analyzed by a growing number of non-supporters, awareness of the totalitarian &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;tendencies&lt;/span&gt; of the movement's long deceased sole founder and hence his followers is established in our collective &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;consciousness&lt;/span&gt;. This group has broken with Islamic tradition and commands of the 7&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;century&lt;/span&gt; records they call the Koran, and claim the Mandatory Articles will only be established by non-violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historical records show what has happened to each and every world supremest movement over time. Where else but in Europe can a group of free misguided malcontents plan the demise of the very system that supports their every need and security? Not only do they owe their lives to those traditions and institutions, this peculiar group has the luxury of comfort and time to cobble together and promote an inferior system.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-7380344954720482093?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/7380344954720482093/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=7380344954720482093' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7380344954720482093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7380344954720482093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/11/from-free-and-democratic-europe.html' title='From a Free and Democratic Europe'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6957674453061994014</id><published>2008-11-03T13:30:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T14:52:52.738-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lee Stobel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christianity'/><title type='text'>Your Turn</title><content type='html'>It is not a habit of mine, but perhaps I should re-evaluate that behaviour, of recommending books to people.  But I have read Islam's version(s) of just who Christ is, a failed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;muslim&lt;/span&gt; prophet at best.  To us Christians, he is the Son of God, sent as our saviour.  As a child I thought about that saying over and over, that Christ died for our sins and it made no sense to me whatever.  I would think of this man dying from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;crucifixion&lt;/span&gt; and think of that saying, nope, nothing there.  But as I crossed the threshold into adulthood, I then understood my condition and my non-relationship with God, at that point I understood.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I believe others can express this better than I can.  Christians are encourage to examine their faith.  But Lee &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Strobel&lt;/span&gt; was the Legal Editor of the Chicago Tribune, not a biased Christian when he decide to take on the role of a prosecutor and as an atheist, began an effort to compiling a case against Christ.  He ended up naming his book, A Case for Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage Muslims, atheists, Christians and others to read it but if you do not have time,  here is a &lt;a href="http://www.the-case-for-christ.com/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; that outlines what he had discovered and why he ended up with a totally unexpected conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realise a Muslim is not allowed to examine their faith, for those that believe in God, not the god called Allah who is at best a combination of things called God within the range of Muhammad's knowledge and Muhammad's conscious and unconscious imagination , it is evidence of the Islam's weakness and perhaps the most prominent reason for its inevitable demise.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6957674453061994014?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6957674453061994014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6957674453061994014' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6957674453061994014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6957674453061994014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/11/your-turn.html' title='Your Turn'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-3317932118301088561</id><published>2008-11-01T21:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T22:10:11.621-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saudi Arabia'/><title type='text'>A Simple Message to Students,  America's Most Important Generation</title><content type='html'>Be aware of the of powers that be and what you are being taught by them at colleges and universities. Temporarily we have the wealth we had traded for middle eastern oil returning to us from Saudi Arabia and other countries. Be aware of the influences the Saudis have bought or are trying to buy in academia and government. Question and compare the type of Islam you are being taught with the actual practiced Islam presently and historically in countries such as Saudi Arabia. Understand how Islam changes over time in its host countries/cultures. But don't accept their answers and don't expect to be taught those differences by the same power and influence that wishes you to believe there is no difference. Look to ex-Muslims, Anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Jihadists&lt;/span&gt;, persecuted religions, independent historical scholars and your own faith, traditions and beliefs for guidance. Historically, it may well be that your generation will be the first to fight for freedom and survival against a foreign power with an alien ideology in our own land. It may well be that your generation is the most important generation in American history.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-3317932118301088561?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/3317932118301088561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=3317932118301088561' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3317932118301088561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3317932118301088561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/11/simple-message-to-all-students.html' title='A Simple Message to Students,  America&apos;s Most Important Generation'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-2788338849923242948</id><published>2008-10-30T20:49:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T08:55:35.596-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saudi Arabia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christianity'/><title type='text'>The Strange Effort Toward Oneness</title><content type='html'>Predictably and obviously the practice of multiculturalism is failing and will continue to fail. The &lt;a href="http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/473349.aspx"&gt;Saudi's initiative&lt;/a&gt; to find common ground between religions is planned for the United States November 13th. As the Bible says, 'you believe in one God, great, so do demons and they tremble' , if attendees can all agree on that from the onset, the conference could be concluded within a few minutes. Somehow when I hear the Saudis promoting an Interfaith conference, I feel like that I have been told, 'see we are alot like you other than the fact &lt;a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/challenge.htm"&gt;we are nuts'.&lt;/a&gt; Other Islamic groups and individuals within the United States continue chiming in . One example (and many can be cited) is a recent Muslim Student Association &lt;a href="http://www.thestarpress.com/article/20081030/NEWS01/810300353/1002/rss"&gt;sponsored speaker&lt;/a&gt; that parted to uninitiated students at Ball University the now very popular lukewarm view, the Saudi sponsered Islam Lite. This introductory product offer may (and will) be withdrawn soon. These thought(less) fests appear to admit multiculturism's failure so lets move on to another equally ridiculous idea, the culture of the bland. But really, what is the Saudi's purpose in this, to find common ground with infidels? Nothing has changed in 1400 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Saudi Arabia should first, without concessions offer an immediate timeline to opening up its Kingdom to Christianity, missionary work and Christian ideas, permit and encourage objective and open inquiry of the Koran and the life and personality of Mohammad, permit the Bible to distributed in the Kingdom, denounce the doctrine of Islamic supremacy, drop &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;anti-Semitism and then propose a conference, within the United States, to find common ground in religion. Perhaps then they can be taken seriously.

Acknowledge the existence of and repudiate the traditional Islamic imperative, taught by all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence that Muslims recognize as orthodox, to impose Islamic law upon non-Muslims, whether by force or by stealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Renounce any intention, now or in the future, to replace the U.S. Constitution with Islamic law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Clarify, and call upon other Muslims in America to clarify, what is meant by the words "terrorism" and innocent" in Muslim condemnations of terrorism, so that it is clear that what is being condemned is the murder of American and other non-combatants by Muslims acting in the name of Islamic jihad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Repudiate the idea that Muslims have a divine mandate to force, when possible, Jews, Christians, and other "People of the Book" to pay a special religion-based tax from which Muslims are exempt (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Qur'an&lt;/span&gt; 9:29).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Call upon Muslims in America to institute comprehensive, honest, and transparent programs in mosques and Islamic schools, teaching the virtues of the non-establishment of religion, and teaching directly against Islamic &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;supremacism&lt;/span&gt; and the idea that Muslims must fight against Jews and Christians until they "feel themselves subdued" (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Qur'an&lt;/span&gt; 9:29).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Call upon Muslims in America to institute comprehensive, honest, and transparent programs in mosques and Islamic schools, teaching against honor killing, and against the idea -- which is enshrined in Islamic law -- that a parent faces no penalty for killing his or her own child (see '&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Umdat&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;al&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Salik&lt;/span&gt; o1.1-2).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Call upon Muslims worldwide, including in Saudi Arabia, to end all institutionalized discrimination against and harassment of non-Muslims, and to allow churches and other houses of worship to be built in majority-Muslim countries with an ease comparable to that with which mosques are currently built in Western countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Repudiate the idea that a Muslim who renounces Islam and adopts any other faith or no faith at all should be killed -- as is the teaching of Muhammad and all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence -- and call upon Muslim groups in America to teach the freedom of conscience as a God-given right in American mosques and Islamic schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Call upon Muslims in America and worldwide to drop the traditional and authoritative Islamic prohibition of marriage between non-Muslim men and Muslim women, and to repudiate and teach against the idea of divinely sanctioned wife-beating (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Qur'an&lt;/span&gt; 4:34).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Condemn &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Hamas&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Hizballah&lt;/span&gt; as terrorist organizations, and the Islamic Republic of Iran for its continuing the barbaric practice of stoning people to death. Call upon Muslim groups to teach against stoning as a punishment for adultery or anything else in American mosques and Islamic schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is the responsibility of ALL Americans, not just Muslim Americans to begin the continuous &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;implementation&lt;/span&gt; of these simple, reasonable suggested actions now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-2624756141583108606?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/2624756141583108606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=2624756141583108606' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/2624756141583108606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/2624756141583108606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/10/call-for-islamic-moderation.html' title='A Call for Islamic Moderation'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6250871661941271801</id><published>2008-10-02T19:24:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T21:19:43.761-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BNP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='British National Party'/><title type='text'>Opinion of BNP</title><content type='html'>At this time, the &lt;a href="http://www.bnp.org.uk/"&gt;British National Party &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;BNP&lt;/span&gt; represents Britain's best political hope to stop the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Islamification&lt;/span&gt; of Great Britain. Attempts to marginalize, vilify, politically &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;correctify&lt;/span&gt; this party by labeling it as racist has been ineffective because the British people have no other organized political movement that takes an aggressive stance in reversing the reportedly and often &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;misstated&lt;/span&gt; idea that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Islamification&lt;/span&gt; of Great Britain is inevitable. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;BNP&lt;/span&gt; request support from native &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Brits&lt;/span&gt; or others of original European stock only as they say but makes no claim to racial superiority, just a claim to being different, culturally, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;ancestrally&lt;/span&gt;, historically and ask why that request can not that be accepted? They ask people outside the native stock to limit their support by saying please do not support! Voiceless within other political parties, what choice do the British have? The destruction of their culture and heritage is not negotiable. Read their forums and posts, there is rarely anything different posted in these forums that is not posted in any American anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;jihadist&lt;/span&gt; site except the underlying and more so overlying belief in most forums &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt; Great Britain is lost and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Islamification&lt;/span&gt; is their destiny. There lies the difference, this is not accepted by British patriots and certainly not the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;BNP&lt;/span&gt;. I don't find them using the ridiculous and archaic term clash of civilization, but instead civil war. If anything many Brits believe civil war is their countries' destiny, not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Islamification&lt;/span&gt;, if the political process fails. This is certainly a swelling sentiment in British society well outside the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;BNP&lt;/span&gt;. With all other &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;political&lt;/span&gt; parties pandering for the immigrant vote, ignoring and suppressing the anti-elitist sentiments, how can there be a sustainable political effort to stop &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Islamification&lt;/span&gt;? If nothing else, the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;BNP's&lt;/span&gt; continued growth will turn the other political parties around, compel them listen, make them compete for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;BNP&lt;/span&gt; voters and supporters, which may end &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Britain's&lt;/span&gt; cultural and historical suffication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6250871661941271801?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6250871661941271801/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6250871661941271801' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6250871661941271801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6250871661941271801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/10/opinion-of-bnp.html' title='Opinion of BNP'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-8197662867239818038</id><published>2008-09-23T08:31:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T11:43:51.223-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sharia Law and the Heartland</title><content type='html'>Last week was an interesting test in Nebraska. Swift (meat processors) plant managers had hired a few hundred Somali refugees and these employees then demanded special privileges to celebrate &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ramadan&lt;/span&gt; (a month of fasting). When management refused, workers walked out and management fired them. Well &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;CAIR&lt;/span&gt; then became involved as always. This group has proven ties to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;muslim&lt;/span&gt; brotherhood (and other subversive groups) and those members (of the brotherhood who were for example responsible for the assassination of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Anwar&lt;/span&gt; Sadat in Egypt after he made peace with Israel) established a charter in 1991 to infiltrate the US culture with the ultimate goal of replacing our constitution with Sharia law. So under pressure the Swift management capitulated and gave into to the workers demands, they would be able to take extra prayer breaks and end their shift early ( a little after sunset) but that meant the other employees not practicing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;ramadan&lt;/span&gt; would need to have their hours cut also and if they wanted to make up the time, they would have to come in on Saturdays. This is an example of the doctrine of supremacy and is the method &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Islamist&lt;/span&gt; are using in their attempt to dominate Europe. The other employees then protested as they were now made to suffer to accommodate the Somalis. So management then said, no to the Somalis, it is not working, just come to work on your normal shift or be fired and they ended up firing at least 100 Somalis. Some had been fainting on the job because they were required not to eat during the day light hours for a month. Now we will see what &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Cair's&lt;/span&gt; next move will be and again if the managers who may or may not be clueless of Islamic doctrine, are forced to cave in again to the Somali demands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Tancedo&lt;/span&gt; from Colorado introduced legislation last week that calls for deportation of anyone coming here and supporting the implementation of Sharia law (as I said really would mean eliminating our constitution) after he received news of Great Britain's forced decision. At least write or call your congressman to consider supporting this legislation. An MD named Andrew &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Bostom&lt;/span&gt; wrote an excellent book called &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.andrewbostom.org/"&gt;The Legacy of Jihad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and please ask your congressman to read or to have one of your rep's assistants to read this and give a briefing, it would at least partially get your rep up to speed. In that book Sharia law is printed out so when many people read it they may initially be completely shocked and in denial. Its more than just stoning people and cutting off limbs of petty criminals, it details a complete system of supremacy over other cultures and it has been and continues to be practiced in large sections of the world for the last 1400 years. Few people even know that countries such as Egypt and Iraq were at one time Christian countries, just like Great Britain once was but those cultures disappeared once Sharia law was established.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-8197662867239818038?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/8197662867239818038/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=8197662867239818038' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8197662867239818038'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8197662867239818038'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/09/sharia-law-and-heartland.html' title='Sharia Law and the Heartland'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6783794855175429616</id><published>2008-09-16T12:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T13:27:42.960-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oriana fallaci'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='filip dewinter'/><title type='text'>Filip Dewinter Speech at the Oriana Fallaci Memorial</title><content type='html'>First and foremost I would like to take this opportunity to thank Armando Manocchio, the president of Una Via per Oriana, for giving me the honour of addressing the speech about the issue of “Islamophobia and freedom of speech”. It’s a good thing that the organisation Una Via per Oriana strives to keep the remembrance of Oriana Fallaci vivid; and thus continues to resist the politically correct dictatorship that wishes to restrict the freedom of speech. The political legacy of Oriana Fallaci exists in that we should not submit ourselves to those who — with multiculturalism and anti-racism as dummy-arguments — bring Islam in our society as a Trojan horse, and even feed it.Ladies and gentlemen,Oriana Fallaci was driven by a mission, her mission consisted in prosecuting the cowardice of Western and European politicians, and in breaching the European policy of consensus. After the 9/11-attacks Oriana Fallaci tried with her sharp writings to open the eyes of the European intellectual, political, and social elite that had been collectively hummed asleep by the leftist multicultural discourse. This multiculturalism has undermined the combativeness of our European, Western society; it has hollowed the fundaments and freedoms of our civilisation; and it has affected democracy and freedom of speech. The ideology of multiculturalism has grown into a kind of new religion with the equality and equivalence of cultures as first dogma. The simple fact that we are no longer allowed to consider our own European civilisation as superior, generates an “away-with-us” mentality. “Away-with-us”… indeed. Multiculturalism aggrieves Europeans with an excessive guilt complex about the West — with its history of colonialism, racism and Jew-slaughter — being the source of all evil. According to these multiculturalists we can liberate ourselves from this ‘original sin’ by throwing open the gates of Europe and the West for all kind of third-world peoples. This dangerous and disastrous “one-world” ideology puts on sale all of what we in the West stand for. In the meantime, we have to share our prosperity with tens of millions of third-world immigrants — of whom a majority has hardly contributed to our economy or social security — that are as parasites on our system of social security and take advantage of social acquirements of the European welfare state. Mass immigration has now become the Trojan horse of a religion and social ideology that is Europe’s historical original enemy: Islam.- - - &lt;a name="readfurther"&gt;-&lt;/a&gt; - - - - -Ladies and gentlemen,“Wake up, Occident, wake up! They declared war on us, and war is what they’ve got. We have to hang tough!”. This wake-up call from Oriana Fallaci sounds more urgent than ever. Radical Islam has indeed declared war on us. Not today, not yesterday, but approximately one thousand four hundred years ago. The terrorist attacks on New York on 9/11, on Madrid on 3/11 (2004) and on London on 7/7 (2005) are merely a sad climax, a battle in a fourteen centuries-long ongoing and continuing war. Islam is in war with Europe and the free West. Islam only executes what’s written in Quran, and follows Mohammed’s example. Mohammed was not a prophet, but a warlord who overcame and silenced his enemies with violence, weapons, and spilled blood. The Quran is a “license to kill” with unconcealed calls for waging war on dhimmis, the non-Muslims. Islam doesn’t allow for the slightest space for interpretation of the Quran, a book written fourteen hundred years ago. The Quran is to be applied by Muslims in a literal sense, because it’s the word of Allah, and no doubts can be raised against these words. This leads to Islam being a medieval religion colliding with Enlightenment, Modernism and Humanism so typically for nowadays in Europe.Ladies and gentlemen,Don’t be misled, there’s no such thing as ‘moderate Islam’. I give you a recent quote from the Turkish premier Erdogan: “There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.” Let’s cut the crap, Islam is bound for world dominance. Islam is an imperialist religion which forces their rights with violence. It’s an historical evidence that Europe is the first and most important enemy of Islam. For almost fourteen centuries Europe is resisting the Islamisation of its continent. The first Islamic invasion of Europe was halted at Poitiers in 732 A.D. The second Islamic invasion was stopped at the gates of Vienna in 1683.The matter is now to halt the currently ongoing third Islamic invasion, and to push Islam back to where it belongs: the other side of the Mediterranean. Radical Islam is nowadays fighting with other means than before: The scimitar has been replaced by the terrorists’ bomb, but apart from that little has changed. The only fundamental change is that Europe no longer dares to resist Islamic aggression and we tend to behave more and more as dhimmis.Ladies and gentlemen,Islam does not belong in Europe, not yesterday, neither today, and certainly not tomorrow. Islam is diametrically opposed to our European morals and values. Islam is but the way much more than a religion, it is in fact a political ideology, a social order and a jurisdictional system. Islam is a political ideology, a social order and a jurisdictional system that has undergone hardly any change since Medieval times. To tolerate, acknowledge and fund Islam in Europe, is to throw away all European acquirements and freedoms, and return to the darkest days of Middle Ages. There are many ways in which the ongoing Islamisation of Europe reveals itself. Not only do we have to give in on fundamental principles of European society, but we are also confronted with a demographic time bomb. It was the Algerian president Boumédienne who said: “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give 3 us victory.” Indeed, Europe nowadays counts up to 50 million Muslims while only 50.000 lived here a century ago. Islam has grown to be the second largest religion in Europe and in twenty years cities, for example Marseilles, Malmö, Brussels, and Birmingham, will know a majority of Muslim inhabitants. Muslim women on average give birth to 3 to 4 children, whereas native European women barely reach an average of one point thirty seven children. The power of the numbers is in advantage of Islam. The European population is aware of this, and is able to observe it on daily basis. Europeans have had enough of burqas, of chadors, of hijabs and kaftans, Europeans have had enough of the “ritual” slaughter of animals, of the boundless popping up of mosques, Quran schools, and minarets, of the Arab and Turkish writings on bus and tram, enough of halal food at the butchers and stores, of the never ending flow of sighs and demands made by Islam in behalf of “multicultural tolerance” and so called “freedom of religion”. If we want to save Europe, than we will have to push back the Islamisation and end the green fascism of radical, totalitarian Islam!Ladies and gentlemen,If one would ask me if I’m xenophobic, than I answer: no, I do not object immigrants under condition that they behave, adapt and submit to our morals and values. If one would ask me if I’m Islamophobic, than I firmly answer: “yes” since I’m worried by Islam. The biggest mistake we can make in Europe is to picture Islam — for reasons of political correctness — as a religion of peace and tolerance. Islam is indeed a religion of peace and tolerance, but unfortunately only for those Muslims who are willing to submit to Allah’s will as written down in the Quran. For dhimmis — the unbelievers — Islam is a religion of hatred, of violence and intolerance. Islamophobia is not merely a phenomena of unparalleled fear, but it is the duty of every one who wants to safeguard Europe’s future. Europe means Rome, Greece, the Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian roots. Europe is a continent of castles and cathedrals, not of mosques and minarets. Oriana Fallaci showed us the way in her books Rage and Pride and The Force of Reason. Therefore I wish to conclude by quoting her in The Force of Reason:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Islam is like a pool, and a pool is a puddle of water standing still. Water that does not flow away, does not move, and thereby is never purified. The West is like a river nourishing life. It’s like water that flows on, that’s purified and renewed in its course, that absorbs other water and finally reaches the vast sea. Thanks to the force of reason we’ll eventually prevail. But hence we must continuously renew, continuously absorb other water and prevent any dam against he flow of the water current.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;a href="http://europenews.dk/en/node/14152"&gt;EuropeNews&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.filipdewinter.be/page.php?linkID=238"&gt;Filip Dewinter&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://ibloga.blogspot.com/2008/05/oriana-fallaci-square-in-place-of.html"&gt;Oriana Fallaci Memorial&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlaams_Belang"&gt;Vlaams Belang Party&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6783794855175429616?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6783794855175429616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6783794855175429616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6783794855175429616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6783794855175429616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/09/filip-dewinter-speech-at-oriana-fallaci.html' title='Filip Dewinter Speech at the Oriana Fallaci Memorial'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-2930328804270414018</id><published>2008-09-14T08:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T08:24:19.002-05:00</updated><title type='text'>You Have Not Chosen Me, I have Chosen You.</title><content type='html'>I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.

This week in a US meat processing plant 150 employees walked off their jobs demanding certain privileges for Ramadan. The employer said absolutely not, if someone wants to stay home and pray rather than come to work fine but no work concessions. It was reported they vandalized the parking lot a bit but then returned to work. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled against a cab driver who wanted to be exempt from picking up passengers who were carrying alcohol. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;cabbie&lt;/span&gt; lost, he still could refuse to pick up certain passengers I imagine but was not exempt from the fine. Still a few of our public institutions at times are more accommodating especially in the area of segregation, what some call a return to the old Jim Crow laws as when blacks and whites had separate facilities.

Islam falls apart under criticism. The term islamophobia was designed to stop all criticism and is used to label critics as racist, this is also illogical. It is a not a wasted effort to love your enemy by destroying the ‘thing’ that makes him your enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loving your enemy doesn’t mean tolerating the fact it wants to destroy you and it doesn’t mean, being nice. Christ never told anyone that, he said to be as harmless as doves but as wise as serpents. A poisonous snake’s bite is designed to paralyze and kill. My attacks against Mohammad’s insanity, humanities’ most idiotic ideology may be vicious but Christian. Doing good to an enemy doesn’t come with a toleration of beliefs in the capricious ramblings of a very disturbed cult leader. Love your enemy, expose it’s stupidity, backwardness, injustice and it’s ridiculous founder. Christians, know your enemy first, love &amp;amp; help your enemy, expose Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New to the subject? &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLQLH4pWAT4"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-4660525035007246678?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/4660525035007246678/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=4660525035007246678' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4660525035007246678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4660525035007246678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/09/love-your-enemies.html' title='Love Your Enemies'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-5762812266266720554</id><published>2008-08-28T19:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-30T13:17:37.064-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='black slavery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Slave Trade'/><title type='text'>Islam's Role in Black Slavery Past and Present</title><content type='html'>One of the best if not the best historical narrations of slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at this video&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AHSP9TGLs4E&amp;amp;hl=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" fs="1" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-5762812266266720554?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/5762812266266720554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=5762812266266720554' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/5762812266266720554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/5762812266266720554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/08/islams-role-in-black-slavery-past-and.html' title='Islam&apos;s Role in Black Slavery Past and Present'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-9139153375257195042</id><published>2008-08-26T16:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-26T17:07:40.415-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Quote of the Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;"In my opinion, old men who want to marry girls at the age of their granddaughters are mentally sick and need psychological treatment,"&lt;/strong&gt;

as 'holy deception' an insult to civilization, religion and simple human intelligence. If you are not familiar with this tactic, it is basically a Koranic sanction to lie in order to gain domination. For a basic  basic understanding, read any book by Robert Spencer, Ali &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Sina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, Andrew &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Bostom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, or one of the many anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;jihadist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; blogs, like most of Mohammad's ideas, the concept is not complex. But the meaning 'holy deception' can cause confusion so I prefer both the western &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;pronunciation&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;taqiyyah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as 'taco yippee' and the rational definition of the concept as falsely sanctioned deceptive speech from an inferior culture or belief system in order to gain temporary dominance over a superior system. Obviously the truth would not bring about that domination and that would not serve the interests of the '&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;ummah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;', defined as the entire Islamic community. The western &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;pronunciation&lt;/span&gt; i&lt;/span&gt;s 'Oh Mama' &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; defined as the whole Islamic enchilada. &lt;em&gt;(Apparently all Islamic terms Westerners should learn in order to protect themselves from this cult can be found on a Mexican menu.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now addressing the 'holy' aspect of deception, it is asked over and over again, why would a holy, almighty God need &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;to use&lt;/span&gt; deception to subdue his creation. The answer is always the same, He wouldn't. The concept itself is an insult. I would like to humorously conclude that it especially insults lovers of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Latino&lt;/span&gt; food but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;taqiyyah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;(again 'taco yippee')&lt;/em&gt; becomes quite serious and detrimental to it's uneducated recipients, most of us. So there is nothing holy about the deception, it's just a necessary tool for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;naricists&lt;/span&gt; past and present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bin Laden would come to South America in the mid-nineties but he had reassured his host, the President &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Fujimori&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; of Peru, that he would only target white interests in South America. This was the reported racial phrase Bin Laden had used and I could never understand why he would use that term. The day after 9/11 a small bomb exploded outside an American franchised &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;restaurant&lt;/span&gt; in Rio &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Vermelho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, Brazil. More than likely you have not heard of this but it was in our neighborhood. It was just a local zealot, no one was killed. Yet then I couldn't help think of six months before 9/11 when Brazil's largest off shore oil platform sunk. Of course after 9/11 I was very paranoid and began to question if any of this was related. I read a report that the cause was most likely a mechanical failure so I was wrong, wasn't I? I can't completely shake my doubts. Even now this story, the timing of the incident, the &lt;a href="http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0320-02.htm"&gt;3 explosions&lt;/a&gt; that ripped through the rig killing 10 workers begs the question was Bin Laden practicing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;taqiyyah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Fujimori&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;?  Whether or not the sinking of the rig had anything to do with Al &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Qaeda&lt;/span&gt;, I think he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A clearer and more well known example is when Mahmoud &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Ahmadinejad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; declared to his Islamic compatriots that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Israel&lt;/span&gt; would be wiped off the map, his general even declared they had a implementable plan to destroy both &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Israel&lt;/span&gt; and the United States. You have to believe him as it would not be proper to lie to his fellow cultists. Yet when &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Ahmadinejad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; constantly tells the potential victims they are not building nuclear weapons, nearly everyone believes he is being true to the concept of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;taqiyyah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least as important if not more, is the day to day use of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;taqiyyah&lt;/span&gt; by regular practicing Muslims.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-4253436679536309828?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/4253436679536309828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=4253436679536309828' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4253436679536309828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4253436679536309828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/08/taqiyyah-ill-have-mine-with-lettuce-and.html' title='Taqiyyah: I&apos;ll have mine with lettuce and tomatoes'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6125855518106043929</id><published>2008-08-18T11:57:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-18T16:32:59.713-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wafa Sultan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mark Twain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constantinople'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dar al-Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>August 15th Weekend Celebration. National Holiday?</title><content type='html'>Another holiday has come and gone but the joy remains. It is not yet celebrated by many people in the free world, yet that too is changing. August 15, 718 the Muslims were repulsed from the siege of Constantinople, thus sparing Europe from the Islamic invaders and unquestionably saving Western Culture. It is a &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022228.php#more"&gt;fantastic story&lt;/a&gt; that all Westerners and freedom loving Muslims should delight in. In importance to our culture, few events &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;rival&lt;/span&gt; this historical event. The next &lt;strong&gt;August 15&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, take time to celebrate your freedom. Many of our holidays are a celebration of freedom. Christmas, Christ's birth, freedom from sin. Easter, Christ's resurrection, freedom from death. The 4&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; of July, the freedom of national independence. August 15&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, the saving of Western Culture from Islamic enslavement. Enemies are planning to take these freedoms away, celebrate and cherish the freedom. As &lt;a href="http://theblackcordelias.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/ex-muslim-wafa-sultan-tells-it-like-it-is/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Wafa&lt;/span&gt; Sultan &lt;/a&gt;has said, this is not a clash of cultures, it is a clash between civilization and barbarianism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is freedom so important? Here is what Mark Twain said: "When I, a thoughtful and unbiased Presbyterian, examined the Koran, I knew that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane, not in all things, but in religious matters.... I cannot prove to him that he is insane, because you never can prove anything to a lunatic — for that is a part of his insanity and the evidence of it." Mark Twain had as much criticism of all aspects of Western Culture and we celebrate that also. Self-criticism has never been our weakness, it is our strength.  we are free to do it. As the joke goes, a man says to his middle eastern acquaintance, here in the West we can criticise our religion and our politicians as much as we like. Yes it is the same in Dar &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;al&lt;/span&gt;-Islam, under Islamic law we too can criticise your religion and politicians as much as we like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God you are not forced to mechanically bow 5 times a day toward a black stone in Mecca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God you do not live by the rules of a mentally disturb narcissist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God for the spiritual freedom given through Christ and thank God for the secular &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;freedoms&lt;/span&gt; passed down to us through the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;sacrifice&lt;/span&gt; of the Western patriots.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6125855518106043929?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6125855518106043929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6125855518106043929' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6125855518106043929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6125855518106043929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/08/august-15th-weekend-celebration.html' title='August 15th Weekend Celebration.

They are of crimes and actions not understandable to most people unless one has studied and faced off with the darkness of Islam and the present understanding it’s only prophet's sicknesses.  Western followers of this cultist can no longer make excuses, deny or look to reform Islam.  They are Muslims &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; they were born Muslims and/or forced to became Muslims,  not through their own decision  Western culture has shown them the vileness of it's teachings and they have been given the freedom and opportunity to question.  As Jesus Christ stated, to whom much is given, much is expected.  Much more is expected of western Muslims, they need to come clean and oppose Mohammad's teachings and the robotic actions of those that call themselves Muslims.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-7697063007187118504?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/7697063007187118504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=7697063007187118504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7697063007187118504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7697063007187118504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/08/sadly-another-daughter-is-savagely.html' title='Sadly Another Daughter is Savagely Killed'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-7571631330421025917</id><published>2008-08-07T21:30:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T22:30:39.014-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kübler-Ross Model'/><title type='text'>The Kübler-Ross Model</title><content type='html'>I'm not an expert of the model of the 5 stages of dying but I do recognize the cult of Islam is dying.  Some of the believers having now lived in a free society in the West have come to realize the problem with Islam is not only fanaticism and radicalism but the true sickness  lies with mainstream Islam.  It is a sickness and it is dying.  Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.  Some believe the system can and must be reformed.  Those that do believe this know the illness is terminal.  They are past the stage of denial and transitioning from anger to the bargaining stage of the model.  Removing infected vital organs from the body seems hopeful and even noble but the infection has spread and the patient still dies.  The illness is far beyond what the reformers recognize, it is not just the unquestioning mindlessness and the oppression of women and religious minorities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reforming suggests a religion gone astray.  Reformers of the past (and present) suggested a purer form of Islam.  Islam not working?  We need more Islam, more control, bring in the Taliban, more lashes, more stoning, more control of the women, Islam must rule over all they say, a closer following of the precepts that cause the illness.  Drain the blood of the sick.  It doesn't work.  It is well beyond the above mentioned inequities, it is a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;recognition&lt;/span&gt;, little by little that the cult was founded on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;delusion&lt;/span&gt;, of one man and there lies the problem.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-7571631330421025917?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/7571631330421025917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=7571631330421025917' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7571631330421025917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/7571631330421025917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/08/kbler-ross-model.html' title='The Kübler-Ross Model'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-1568857130066244799</id><published>2008-08-05T06:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-06T14:27:21.369-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Maldives'/><title type='text'>Understanding the Temporary Growth Of Cultural Islam</title><content type='html'>Islam historically has spread by two methods: conquest (forcible) and birth. There is little appeal in reason or faith for anyone to turn to Islam &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;otherwise&lt;/span&gt;. Mohammed's early years of preaching netted him few converts, but once he changed his method the growth began. Today without the use of both methods, Islam would die off even quicker that what is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;inevitable&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today territories are &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Islamitized&lt;/span&gt; through attrition and migration or outright conquest such as Turkey's ethnic cleansing and annexation of Northern Cyrus, nothing has changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other countries you must be a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;muslim&lt;/span&gt;, no other choice, you are born, you are &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;muslim&lt;/span&gt;. In the Republic of Maldives being &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;muslim&lt;/span&gt; is required for citizenship. Its not a matter of choice.  As  muslim writer Irshad Manji wrote in her ongoing attempt to reform Islam, "most of us muslims aren't muslims because we think about it, but rather because we were born that way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the migration to the West continues for the same reason as always, to find a better life. Jozef &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Grzywaczewski&lt;/span&gt; in the &lt;a href="http://europenews.dk/en/node/12760"&gt;Catholic Weekly&lt;/a&gt; writes, "In Europe a Muslim declares to have one wife but his ‘cousins’ live with him. When they have children they receive benefits for each child as single mothers; their benefits are higher than the benefits for married mothers. Therefore, it is not a problem to earn a living for a family with about 20 children." So again, growth by birth and through deceitful if not criminal disregard for &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=1&amp;amp;chapter=2&amp;amp;verse=24&amp;amp;version=31&amp;amp;context=verse"&gt;spirit of the law&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-1568857130066244799?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/1568857130066244799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=1568857130066244799' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1568857130066244799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1568857130066244799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/08/understanding-temporary-growth-of.html' title='Understanding the Temporary Growth Of Cultural Islam'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-2325825573320773495</id><published>2008-08-03T19:25:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-03T20:47:47.819-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkey invasion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cyprus'/><title type='text'>The Phokas Solution</title><content type='html'>Since shortly after &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Mohammed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; began lusting after baby girls, some of the people who bow 5 times a day toward Mecca have had their eyes on Cyprus.

In 1974 Turkey, a country dominated by people who bow toward a stone, invaded Cyprus and have occupied over 36% of this historic island, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;annihilating&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080428/the-last-church-standing-in-north-cyprus.htm"&gt;the Hellenic and Christian local culture&lt;/a&gt;, turning historic churches into stables and urinals, or worse, meeting centers for the stone bowers, driving out the local populations, killing many and colonizing the illegally occupied area with 160,000 Islamic immigrants, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Turkifying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; towns and places and ignoring a virtual record number of UN condemning resolutions. Unfortunately Cyprus looked to the UN for justice and relief so understandably little had been done. EU stick and carrot has done little...except perhaps to stall Turkey's ac&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;cession&lt;/span&gt; to the EU, which grants some relief to sane Europeans.

The unidentified reporter referred to the Muslim efforts as 'anti-Christian' quoting several media free speech group.  Her answer was that this was the "first they had heard of this initiative" and would get back with an answer.  Asking the question in that context is in itself news and it needs to be ask again and again.  The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;OIC&lt;/span&gt; is calling this criticism the defamation of Islam and is saying that leads to violence against Muslims.  This is a ruse. Islam simply can not permit criticism.  As more people learn of Islam's obvious true nature from the people it has harmed and that of its only prophet, his control by fear to serve his own sad  disorders,  this awareness will continue to erode this massive cult's power over people and organizations.   It is a house of cards ready to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;collapse&lt;/span&gt; and it soon will.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-4504608481731289046?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/4504608481731289046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=4504608481731289046' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4504608481731289046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4504608481731289046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/07/fighting-back-against-uns-anti.html' title='Fighting Back Against UN&apos;s Anti-Christian Pro-Islamic Initiative'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-1078600714254586591</id><published>2008-07-18T13:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-18T14:13:05.925-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rachel Ehrenfeld'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free speech'/><title type='text'>Rachel's Law Update</title><content type='html'>In 2003 Dr. Rachel &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Ehrenfeld&lt;/span&gt; published a book titled &lt;a title="Funding Evil" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding_Evil"&gt;Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It&lt;/a&gt; .  She was sued for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;libel&lt;/span&gt; by a Saudi business man.  In response to this and similar incidents referred to as "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;libel&lt;/span&gt; tourism" New York's legislature passed, and on May-01-2008 Gov. Paterson signed, a law which "offers New Yorkers greater protection against libel judgments in countries whose laws are inconsistent with the freedom of speech granted by the United States Constitution." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now referred to as Rachel' Law, a national version S. 2977, the Free Speech Protection Act of 2008, was introduced by Sen. Arlen Specter on May 6, 2008. The bill would protect journalists and authors from libel suits brought against them in foreign courts. S. 2977 would allow federal courts to determine whether there has been defamation &lt;strong&gt;under United States law&lt;/strong&gt; when a U.S. journalist or author is sued in a foreign court. The bill also authorizes courts to bar enforcement of a foreign judgment and to award damages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Sen. Herb Kohl the bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee of which he is a member, he stated in a recent email (7/17/2008), "A free press is essential to an open society and is a cornerstone of our democracy. Congress must remain vigilant in protecting our most cherished civil liberties as enumerated by the Bill of Rights."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equally if not more important, &lt;strong&gt;citizens need to remain vigilant&lt;/strong&gt; and those that have knowledge and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;understanding&lt;/span&gt; of the dangers of Islamic doctrine have a civic duty beyond debating politics and voting and that duty is to constantly work to inform and educated policy makers of the threat to our freedoms.  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Xeriscapist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-1078600714254586591?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/1078600714254586591/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=1078600714254586591' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1078600714254586591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/1078600714254586591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/07/rachels-law-update.html' title='Rachel&apos;s Law Update'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-3267796831983101002</id><published>2008-07-17T19:49:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-18T14:18:40.039-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bush'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McCain'/><title type='text'>When Presidents Understood Clearly</title><content type='html'>Here is an article written by Hugh Fitzgerald of &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/021814.php#more"&gt;Jihad Watch&lt;/a&gt;. Please read and pass on it's message to anyone involved with a candidate's election. McCain recently said, "I admire the Islam [sic]. There are a lot of good principles in it." What &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;principles&lt;/span&gt; could he be possibly referring to? President Bush since 2003 has continued to promote his view of Islam in the &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/ramadan/islam.html"&gt;Official White House Website.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt;? Who knows how much he really knows or understands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In a recent article prompted by his reading of Joshua London’s Victory in Tripoli, Andrew &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Bostom&lt;/span&gt;, who compiled &lt;a href="http://www.andrewbostom.org/loj/"&gt;The Legacy of Jihad&lt;/a&gt;, adduces from London’s text a number of telling descriptions of Islam and of Muslims by some of the most important figures in American history. Two of them were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, in 1786 ambassadors (Jefferson in Paris, Adams in London) from the newly-established American Republic still under the Articles of Confederation (the Treaty of Paris had been signed in 1783, the Constitution was ratified only in 1787). They had a meeting with the representative of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Tripolitania&lt;/span&gt; (present-day Libya) then in the Great Britain, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Sidi&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Haji&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Rahmand&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Adja&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Like other Christian maritime powers, the American state had suffered from the state-piracy of Muslim corsairs. The word "piracy" implies mere seeking at random for booty, and is inadequate to describe the formal system by which Muslim corsairs had for centuries been making war on Christian shipping, with the foreknowledge (indeed, often registering in advance either the places their ships would be going, or what Infidel shipping they intended to attack) and support of the Muslim rulers of the North African states -- which, in turn, were ostensibly under the control of the Ottoman rulers in Istanbul.&lt;br /&gt;Both Jefferson and Adams were learned men. Take a tour in Quincy or at Monticello and look at their libraries, and then imagine the reading material that sustains the current, or the last few, American presidents. But they had no reason to know about Islam. They were interested in the civilization of the West, to which they belonged. Islam was merely a disturbing and violent intruder, to south and east, of that West. The notion that someday Muslims in the Western world would be insisting that the Western world owed so much to Islam, that the Renaissance was practically a Muslim invention, that without Islam the great civilization of the Western world was unthinkable, would have been regarded by them as what it is: absurdity, from first to last, a travesty of history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But did they know much about what prompted Muslim behavior? No. So they asked why the Barbary states (present-day Morocco, Algerian, Tunisia, and Libya) would continually attack American and all other Infidel shipping, seize the cargoes and the sailors, taking both back to Islamic lands and enslaving those Christian seamen who sometimes could be ransomed, sometimes not. So they asked the ambassador, Mr. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Adja&lt;/span&gt;, why the Muslims of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Maghrib&lt;/span&gt;, the "Barbary pirates" as they were known in the West, did as they did.&lt;br /&gt;He had no trouble answering them, as the report written by Jefferson and Adams to the Continental Congress shows:&lt;br /&gt;"…that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Musselman&lt;/span&gt; who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing surprising here to any contemporary Muslim, though many will wish that Americans will never read that paragraph above, especially since it was written by two of the Founders, two of the Framers of that Constitution which is so flatly contradicted by the principles and Holy Law of Islam. It is easy to denounce this or that truth-teller about Islam today, but not quite so easy for Muslims to denounce or attempt to belittle a report written by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Bostom&lt;/span&gt; also quotes London's excerpt from a report by William Eaton, a veteran of the Revolutionary War (who later became the U.S. consul in Tunis, and who in 1799) on his meeting with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Dey&lt;/span&gt; of Algiers, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Bobba&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Mustafa&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;"…we took off our shoes and entering the cave (for so it seemed), with small apertures of light with iron gates, we were shown to a huge shaggy beast, sitting on his rump upon a low bench covered with a cushion of embroidered velvet, with his hind legs gathered up like a tailor, or a bear. On our approach to him, he reached out his &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;forepaw&lt;/span&gt; as if to receive something to eat. Our guide exclaimed, "Kiss the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Dey&lt;/span&gt;’s hand!" The consul general bowed very elegantly, and kissed it, and we followed his example in succession. The animal seemed at that moment to be in a harmless mode; he grinned several times, but made very little noise. Having performed this ceremony, and standing a few moments in silent agony, we had leave to take our shoes and other p &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;roperty&lt;/span&gt;, and leave the den without any other injury than the humility of being obliged in this involuntary manner, to violate the second commandment of God and offend common decency. Can any man believe that this elevated brute has seven kings of Europe, two republics, and a continent tributary to him when his whole naval force is not equal to two line-of-battle ships? It is so."&lt;br /&gt;Not exactly one of those Western ambassadors – a John C. West or James &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Akins&lt;/span&gt; or an Andrew &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Kilgore&lt;/span&gt; or a Eugene Bird – full of salaam-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;aleikum&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;lecca&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;leccas&lt;/span&gt; for their Arab counterparts. No, it was a no-nonsense early American, sure of himself, and equally sure that he could recognize a comical primitive when he saw one – and saw no need to pull any rhetorical punches. One wonders how many today would report back in a similar fashion on the absurdities, say, of Arafat and company, or the pretensions of the ludicrous Arab regimes and Arab-League officials who have been allowed to believe in their own significance and importance, when their only significance and importance is that supplied by an accident of geology and the complete failure of even these recipients of the largest unearned wealth in history to create modern polities and modern economies. The fact that these regimes remain morally and intellectually paralyzed should show those who, in the Western world, ought to know a little something about what makes the West the West, just a little something about what the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;civilizational&lt;/span&gt; fruits of Islam are – or rather, about the absence of those &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;civilizational&lt;/span&gt; fruits.&lt;br /&gt;In his review-article &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;Bostom&lt;/span&gt; also &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;spatchcocked&lt;/span&gt; on, from a period later than that of the Barbary Pirates episode in American geopolitical life, a piercing, no-nonsense quote from &lt;strong&gt;John Quincy Adams, writing in about 1829 after his retirement from public life:&lt;br /&gt;"….he [Muhammad] declared &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;undistinguishing&lt;/span&gt; and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind…The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"&gt;Mahomet&lt;/span&gt; is the prophet of God…the faithful follower of the prophet may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;Moslem&lt;/span&gt; creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force."&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(All Bold Fonts Added)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The "command" to Believers to engage in "perpetual war" -- performed "alike by fraud or by force" – against the Infidels, the Unbelievers, was no secret to the well-traveled (St. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;Petersburg&lt;/span&gt;, among other places he was stationed) and well-read John Quincy Adams. In a previous article &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;Bostom&lt;/span&gt; had quoted John Quincy Adams comparing the essence of Christian doctrine with the essence of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;This was John Quincy Adams on Christianity:&lt;br /&gt;"And he [Jesus] declared, that the enjoyment of felicity in the world hereafter, would be reward of the practice of benevolence here. His whole law was resolvable into the precept of love; peace on earth – good will toward man…On the Christian system of morals, man is an immortal spirit, confined for a short space of time, in an earthly tabernacle. Kindness to his fellow mortals embraces the whole compass of his duties upon earth, and the whole promise of happiness to his spirit hereafter. THE ESSENCE OF THIS DOCTRINE IS, TO EXALT THE SPIRITUAL OVER THE BRUTAL PART OF HIS NATURE [Capitals in original]."And this was &lt;strong&gt;John Quincy Adams on Islam:&lt;br /&gt;"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 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;undistinguishing&lt;/span&gt; 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 (Capitals in original)...Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant...While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men."&lt;br /&gt;And Adams concluded:&lt;br /&gt;"As the essential principle of his [Muhammad’s] faith is the subjugation of others by the sword; it is only by force, that his false doctrines can be dispelled, and his power annihilated."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;As one reads and ponders these remarks by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, and John Quincy Adams, one is struck by the self-assurance that they represent civilization, and that Islam and its representatives did not, and it would have been ludicrous to pretend otherwise. Islam did not change between 1786 or 1805 or 1830 and today. The doctrine of Jihad did not change. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33"&gt;Qur&lt;/span&gt;’an was not a different &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34"&gt;Qur&lt;/span&gt;’an; the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35"&gt;Hadith&lt;/span&gt; were not differently ranked from the way &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36"&gt;muhaddithin&lt;/span&gt; had ranked them, according to various levels of authenticity, nearly a thousand years before. If anything, the forces of Islam were far weaker then, and far less able, therefore, to conduct Jihad. The only instrument available was military, and in military matters the Muslims were hopelessly surpassed by the technology of a much more advanced civilization – more advanced in every possible way. So what happened? How is it that today no Western leader can bring himself to write about Islam as Jefferson, Adams, John Quincy Adams, or even in modern times, as Churchill did in The River War?&lt;br /&gt;What happened are any number of things, beginning with an entirely different class of rulers. What a falling-off, intellectually, there has been since the days of the Founders and the Framers. The self-assurance and leisure necessary to learn about things, the absence of breathless, round-the-clock news, the fantastic piling-up of duties so that no leader can conceivably read, and take in, once he has risen to the top, the very things he most needs to know -- all this has contributed to that falling off. And right now, of course, the thing that leaders and elites all over the Western world most need to know is all about Islam, its tenets, its history of Jihad-conquest, its subjugation of all conquered non-Muslims, and its recommended instruments of Jihad that go far beyond either "terror" or even military means. This conquest is promoted now in Western Europe mainly by demographics -- the numbers of Muslims multiplying at a rate far faster than that of the indigenous Infidels -- and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37"&gt;Da&lt;/span&gt;’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38"&gt;wa&lt;/span&gt;. That &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39"&gt;Da&lt;/span&gt;’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40"&gt;wa&lt;/span&gt; is targeted at prisoners, and at others who are economically and psychically marginal, and inclined to embrace a belief-system that can be viewed as a vehicle of protest against "the System," and also supplies, for those who need it, a Complete Regulation of Life and Total Explanation of the Universe. There are plenty of weak-minded people around, their numbers increased by the sometimes intolerable stress and stupidity of frantic getting and spending, or not getting, and not spending.&lt;br /&gt;What happened? Why could Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, and John Quincy Adams and so many others in American history have understood Islam, and also understood that there was no possibility of, and no need to even attempt, to "win hearts and minds" of Muslims, but rather to obtain their cooperation, to force changes in their behavior? The latter is a very different thing from winning hearts and minds, and is grounded in the reality of what Islam teaches its adherents to believe. When Theodore Roosevelt demanded from a Moroccan bandit chief the return of Ion &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41"&gt;Perdicaris&lt;/span&gt; (who at the time was not even an American citizen, though few paid attention to that -- he did have a long American connection) with that famous phrase about "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42"&gt;Perdicaris&lt;/span&gt; alive or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43"&gt;Raisuli&lt;/span&gt; dead," he too understood that dealing with such people required that kind of attitude.&lt;br /&gt;Jefferson and Adams and Quincy Adams read. They thought. They studied. They learned things directly. They did not have staffs that attempted to supply their every mental need by supplying little 1- or 3- or 5-page summaries of information, offered up in bite-size bullets that were not even sentences. They were well-traveled. They all had the habit of study and of thought, and would not have wasted the kind of time that our leaders, in and out of office, waste on meetings, and meet-and-greet sessions, and smiles, and wiles, and all the intolerable nonsense that modern political life requires of those who can endure it, and that often drives away the best people because, in the end, they cannot.&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine that in the previous administration, one of the "experts" called on for his "expertise" on Islam was that supreme and sinister apologist, John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44"&gt;Esposito&lt;/span&gt;. Jefferson, Adams, and Quincy Adams would have seen through him in a moment’s time. When they were writing, they were not worried about "offending" Muslims. They could afford to speak the truth. But so could Western leaders today, if only they would begin to do it. The Muslims have very little hold over us. Yes, they have oil. And they desperately need to sell that oil. And they are terrified that the West could begin to find other sources of energy, or that the West could begin to tax oil use themselves in ways that would dampen demand. And the Arabs and other Muslims do not "have the Gatling-gun" and militarily could be laid waste overnight. They have money with which to buy influence, but if all over the Western world those on the take were relentlessly exposed, ridiculed, held up for inspection (and that would include a good many ex-diplomats, journalists, academics and others), then that army of apologists could lose its effectiveness. There is no "oil weapon" and never was. There is a financial weapon, but it is in Western and chiefly American hands. What would the rich Arabs do if the Western world decided to seize their property in the West as the assets of enemy aliens, just as was done to the property owned not only by the German government, but by individual Germans, during World War II? And what would they do if they were to be permanently deprived of easy access to Western medical care? (How would you feel if someone threatened to deprive you of the possibility of seeing your Western doctors or being treated in a Western hospital? That might get your attention.) What would they do if they were deprived of access to Western education (for their children, especially), or if they lost any chance of moving to the West? What would they do if they began to see a relentless campaign to remove, as a security threat, Muslims from within Dar &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45"&gt;al&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_46"&gt;Harb&lt;/span&gt;, where they have been allowed to settle, through negligence, by the tens of millions?&lt;br /&gt;What has happened is not merely a kind of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_47"&gt;cretinising&lt;/span&gt; of our political class, but also a laziness. This can be seen from those who are not in the executive branch, and who could, if they chose, study the contents of Islam, learn about Jihad and about the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_48"&gt;dhimmi&lt;/span&gt;, and never be fooled again. But do you know of any Senators and Congressmen who, over the past few years, have decided to study such matters? Do you have the feeling that John Kerry, with no money worries whatsoever and a good deal of time, has been burning the midnight oil reading Robert Spencer, or Bat Ye’or, or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_49"&gt;Ibn&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_50"&gt;Warraq&lt;/span&gt;’s Why I Am Not a Muslim, so that he won’t and can’t be fooled? Do you think any of the Democrats, so critical -- for all the wrong reasons -- of the war in Iraq, will ever be able to criticize the war for the right reasons, as has been done here for more than two years?&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes it is fun to imagine a figure from the past suddenly coming to life. I have always imagined John Keats suddenly appearing, and my taking him to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_51"&gt;Macdonald&lt;/span&gt;’s, and trying to explain it to him. Imagine Jefferson and Adams coming to life. Imagine what they would make of all kinds of things, but imagine in particular what they would make of people all over the Western world who had now allowed, within their midst, millions of people who, as a matter of belief, were taught to hate those people among whom they lived, and to work to destroy those Infidel institutions, laws, customs, manners, until Islam dominated and some form of the Holy Law of Islam could be established? What would they make of this? What would they make of the $400 billion in sunk costs spent or committed in the near-term to the war in Iraq, as we try to create out of three separate groups of Muslims a nation-state that supposedly will serve as a "model" for other Arab Muslims, a kind of Light Unto the Muslim Nations? They would rub their eyes in disbelief. They would wonder – how did this happen to the country they helped to found and nurture? Where did things go wrong? And then they would have questions. "What’s a speechwriter?" "You mean, you actually have someone else write words you present as your own, fashion your thoughts, express what should be your views?" "And what are ‘bullets’ used in these pages of Daily Briefings?" "And what is a ‘Daily Briefing’"?&lt;br /&gt;They would be quite capable today, as they were in their own day, of reading and finding out about Islam – through books and through the evidence of their senses. They &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_52"&gt;didn&lt;/span&gt;’t have CNN, Fox, spy satellites, and an army of CIA agents. But they knew what Islam was all about. It is we, with all that paraphernalia, seeking complexity when things are perhaps too obvious, too &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_53"&gt;worrisomely&lt;/span&gt; simple for many to wish to grasp the matter, who are the innocent ones. It is Jefferson and Adams and Quincy Adams and many others, right up to Churchill, who had an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_54"&gt;unobnubilated&lt;/span&gt; grasp of Islam and of Muslims. They were not distracted. They were not charmed by a Saudi oil minister, or by someone at the "Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding." They had the leisure to read, to think, and even to ponder, slowly, what it was they read, and make it their own. The hectic vacancy of official Washington is scandalous -- especially when one rises to the very top and learns only from those briefest of briefings, and even that only when it is too late, or treated as if it is too late, or perhaps beneath the dignity of the highest officials ("As for study, we’ll let our valets do that for us").&lt;br /&gt;And this is how it has become nearly impossible to get their attention, to get them to start making sense.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-3267796831983101002?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/3267796831983101002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=3267796831983101002' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3267796831983101002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/3267796831983101002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/07/when-presidents-understood-clearly.html' title='When Presidents Understood Clearly'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-8413533794080951049</id><published>2008-07-10T06:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-10T06:43:08.089-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acromegaly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ali Sina'/><title type='text'>Further Review of 'Understanding Muhammad' by Ali Sina</title><content type='html'>Had I not taken the advice of several of other reviewers, perhaps I would have passed up this rational and unrefuted psychological examination of Mohammad and the true explanation of what (and why) muslims think and act as they do. I've never read anything as compelling with the potential of freeing enslaved minds as well as shaking up Islamic apologists. I'll never view another news story, read another account of Islamic culture or history without appreciating and applying what I have learned. Muslims will continue to threaten Ali Sina with hell. Nothing in this work dissuades a person from a belief in God but I imagine readers will never again be able to keep a serious face when someone says Mohammad's Allah is God Almighty, creator of the universe. No question Islam is a house of cards and will soon collapse. Buy the book, buy it new, I imagine his security costs are high. You'll benefit by acquiring one more degree of understanding above these cultists, which may in time be used to help them and all of civilization.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-8413533794080951049?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/8413533794080951049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=8413533794080951049' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8413533794080951049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/8413533794080951049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/07/review-of-understanding-muhammad-by-ali.html' title='Further Review of &apos;Understanding Muhammad&apos; by Ali Sina'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6210606622661316653</id><published>2008-06-27T22:15:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T23:04:13.949-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acromegaly'/><title type='text'>Helping the Victims of Islam</title><content type='html'>If it is too much at this point for the victims of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;islam&lt;/span&gt; (the  followers &amp;amp; others) to face evidence of their leader's mental illness, perhaps it may be best to start with an obvious and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;interesting&lt;/span&gt;  physical disorder, &lt;a href="http://www.acromegalyinfo.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;acromegaly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  In his book &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Muhammad-Ali-Sina/dp/0980994802"&gt;Understanding Mohammad,  A &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Psychobiography&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;,  Ali &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Sina&lt;/span&gt; gives clear evidence using descriptions in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;islamic&lt;/span&gt; writings of Mohammad and his associates that he had obvious symptoms of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;acromegaly&lt;/span&gt;. Why is that important?  An example is it may better explain Mohammad's  prohibition against the recording of his image.  How is this &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;relevant&lt;/span&gt; today?  Since Danish newspapers have printed simple, humorous &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;caricatures&lt;/span&gt; of Mohammad,  besides the riots and deaths, entire nations are attempting to &lt;a href="http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/06/buy-danish-cheese.html"&gt;punish all Danes&lt;/a&gt;.  This irrational action stems from an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;narcissistic&lt;/span&gt; individual attempting to hide his physical deformities from the people 1400 years ago.  Teach &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;muslims&lt;/span&gt; and others  about &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;acromegaly&lt;/span&gt;.  If they possess a basic practicing knowledge of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;koran&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;hadiths&lt;/span&gt;, over time the connection may seep in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once this is understood, the next step is to understand his mental disorders.  I would postulate that no news story coming from areas and countries presently called islamic, can ever be understood without understanding Mohammad's mental illness.  Learn about these disorders and a much fuller understanding of these events will occur.  An example of one today's &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080627/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_inside_the_walls"&gt;most read stories about the Baghdad walls.&lt;/a&gt;  Understand the mental disorders that inflicted the leader to understand the ills of the followers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-6210606622661316653?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/6210606622661316653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=6210606622661316653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6210606622661316653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/6210606622661316653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/06/helping-victims-of-islam.html' title='Helping the Victims of Islam'/><author><name>PraiaFlamengo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13106342652093512485</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wf9rEkUxPtE/SkLmUOrMDjI/AAAAAAAAACw/0gscf5YqRa8/S220/Farts.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407798863154004582.post-6918174469287867627</id><published>2008-06-25T22:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T23:09:37.522-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Faith Freedom $50000 Challenge</title><content type='html'>Ali &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Sina's&lt;/span&gt; Challenge from the &lt;a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;FaithFreedom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not like this site and want me to remove it, instead of acting as a bully or as a victim, disprove my charges against Muhammad logically.

Now the people of Suriname, the small South American country that borders my beloved Brazil will be quite surprised to be informed they are living in an Islamic State! The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;OIC&lt;/span&gt; basis for an Islamic state is a small &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;muslim&lt;/span&gt; population reported to be enough people to almost fill American football &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;stadium&lt;/span&gt;?

The Muslim world constitutes, as usual, bleakest chapter. Every single country across the Muslim world has been pointed out by the Amnesty International either for executions and torture or discrimination against women and ethnic and religious minorities. Punishments never handed down even during the Stone Age, have been awarded in 21st century Muslim world. In one case, two Saudi nationals were awarded 7,000 lashes. Yes, 7,000. And executions? Well, 335 in Iran, 158 in Saudi Arabia and 135 in Pakistan. Violation of human rights, it seems, is the only thing that unites the otherwise divided Muslim world. &lt;a href="http://thenews.jang.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=118852"&gt;(The International News, Pakistan)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 127:1, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7407798863154004582-4459128686598931646?l=xeriscapist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/feeds/4459128686598931646/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7407798863154004582&amp;postID=4459128686598931646' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4459128686598931646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7407798863154004582/posts/default/4459128686598931646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xeriscapist.blogspot.com/2008/06/unthinkable-its-time-for-islamic.html' title='Unthinkable?

It doesn't matter."&lt;br /&gt;He said that Muslims in Britain were more likely to be radicalised because they feel ignored rather than due to religious reasons.&lt;br /&gt;"Is it because of poverty, social unrest, deprivation, feeling discriminated against, thinking people don't care much because of the&lt;br /&gt;colour of their skin.
