Islam is a Trojan Horse


Freedom of Iran

By Amil Imani

Wednesday, 16 April 2008

“Europe will be Muslim in a dozen years,” promises the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Supreme Guide (dictator) who is racing full-speed ahead to make as many bombs as possible with long-range missiles capable of delivering their payload anywhere in the world.

This past Friday, Yunis al-Astal, a leading Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament, declared on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam and Rome become an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas.”
The Islam hydra, with Saudi Arabia and the oil-money bloated Emirs and Sheiks of the Persian Gulf leading the Sunni charge from one side and the end-of-the-worlder bomb-seeking Shiite of the Islamic Republic of Iran with its proxies of Hamas, Lebanon Hezbollah and the Sadrists in Iraq closing from the other side will devour the free world.

Free people: are you listening?
Free people: do you care?
Free people: are you doing anything?


Disguised as religion, Islam has penetrated the democracies with the aim of replacing civility and liberty with the barbarism of theocracy and Sharia. Islam’s multi-prong attack aims to destroy all that liberty offers.

It is generally assumed that religion addresses issues of importance to daily life as well as matters that transcend it. Religion claims to exercise a civilizing influence by ordering the social life and promoting spirituality, as well as advancing an array of human virtues. Zoroaster, for instance, based his faith on the triad of goodly thoughts, goodly speech and goodly deeds. Moses framed the fundamentals of his faith in the Ten Commandments, and Jesus placed love at the core of his faith.

Yet, all is not well with religion. Purveyors of some religions advocate and promote ideas and practices that are harmful to the general well-being of mankind. It is imperative that a society institutes measures that guard against any and all organizations and ideologies, be they religious or otherwise that harms it.

As things stand now, our lives are governed by numerous boards at all levels of government, business, and community. All these boards are charged with the responsibility of looking after the welfare of the people they serve. The Food and Drug Administration, for instance, must pass on the safety and quality of the food we eat; the Aviation Safety Board works to ensure safe flights; a local school board strives to create the environment that best serves the education and safety needs of the pupils. Every community and business of any size is served by boards.

There are, however, no oversight boards that would check against things that contaminate the mind and present a clear threat of unraveling our democracy’s social compact as we know and cherish it. Shouldn’t these dangers to our beliefs and way of life be monitored and combated or should they be given a pass to work their damage?

Presently, America is faced with a formidable enemy in a Trojan horse called Islam. This imminent danger makes it imperative to revisit the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and make the necessary changes to legally defeat Islam’s subversion of the democratic system.

Muslims in Western democracies, most of them escapees of the misery of Islamic countries, exhibit such incredible gall and audacity as to shamelessly demand that their benevolent hosts surrender their liberty and legalize and adopt the Sharia in their societies.

The Muslims’ presence in countries such as Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden represents the tip of the sword of the Islamists protruding from the Trojan horse.

Once Sharia is recognized to any extent, it will reach out to rule, not only on matters that concern Muslims, but also those that may involve a Muslim and non-Muslim. Under Sharia, a Muslim man married to a non-Muslim woman is able to divorce the woman at will and automatically have custody of the children.

America, with a long history of protecting religious freedom, still clings to the “hands off” practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny problem is in deciding what constitutes a religion and who is to make that call. The dictionary supplies a sociologically useless definition for religion: “The expression of man’s belief in and reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the creator and governor of the universe.” Just about anyone or any group under this definition can start a religion, and they indeed do—and some do so at significant costs to others.

Islam was birthed by primitives of some 1400 years ago and over time invaded much of the world at the point of the sword. Presently, Islamists, with their treasuries flush with petrodollars, are in a great position to realize their perennial dream of bringing the world under the rule of Muhammad’s Ummeh.

On the one hand, Pakistan is already a nuclear power and the Islamic Republic of Iran aims to be one before very long. On the other hand, Muslim governments and wealthy Sheikhs are funding Islamic schools, centers and front organizations in the West to work from within at the unraveling of the non-Islamic democratic systems. In a parallel attack, the “Legal Islam” is exploiting every provision of the law in free societies to promote Islam and silence its critics through expensive legal shenanigans.

Islam is incompatible with democracy and subversive of the way of life that blesses this nation. It is imperative that we fight Islamofascism with the same determination that we fought other enemies of freedom such as Nazism, Fascism, and Communism. It is, therefore, imperative that the Constitution be revisited in such a manner that it no longer grants a pass to any cult simply calling itself a religion.

Bluntly speaking, no one can be a faithful Muslim and an American at the same time. As more and more Muslims arrive in non-Islamic lands, as they reproduce with great fecundity, as they convert the disenchanted and minorities, and as petrodollar-flush Muslims and Muslim treasuries supply generous funds, Muslims gather more power to undermine the democratic rule.

The hydra of Islam is lashing out by its jihadists, sophisticated and well-funded lawyers, terrorist groups, and terror-sponsoring governments who have the bomb and those that are racing non-stop to acquire the ultimate weapon. There is no time to waste. Steadfastly confronting Islam is the only way to defeat a fanatical enemy who does not believe in negotiation or compromise. For Islam, it is winner take all. And the way that permissive, oblivious, and well-meaning free societies are reacting does not bode well for liberty.

Islam must be recognized for what it is: a Trojan horse carrying in its belly what will assuredly slaughter all who stand everything that is precious to free people.

Note: Don't you find it ironic, even hypocritical, how the left vilifies conservatives? We are accused of being alarmist, spreading Islamophobia and bigotry, yet who is promoting Islam?
Who advocates and supports the spread of Islam in America? We are even accused of being unpatriotic. Of course those hateful words are slung by both sides.
This is not a slam against the left, though some might think it. Nor is it condemnation of the left, though perhaps it should be. All of us share in this to one degree or another regardless of where you stand or what viewpoint you may have.
We all make mistakes from time to time and perhaps I'm making one here. Frankly, I truly fear for my country...for our country and that includes those on the left. Most of all I fear for my children and what they may face someday. This country belongs to all of us regardless of what our views may be or which political party we may be part of.

The fact is our way of life, the good and the not so good, is under assault by the purveyors of the so called "religion of peace". Whether you agree with me or not matters little. The fact is we have all been asleep at the wheel, and unless we wake up soon, put our differences aside, and work together we may all wake up one day to the Adhan( Athaan) or "call to prayers".
The spread of Islam within our borders is making great strides. We see it and read about it but do we do anything about it?
Are we more interested in condemning each other?

You can make of this what you will but I repeat, unless we put our differences aside and advocate for our own liberty and freedom we may very well lose it. Loss of our freedoms may not come in our lifetimes, but what about our children? Our grandchildren?

Isn't there even one thing about this country that you find worth fighting for? Just one?
Have we lost our minds and our souls?

Haven't we had sufficient warning from experts, pundits, bloggers about this very real peril?
Or do we just go about "business as usual" ignoring the warnings and the signs, slinging hate at each other.

I weep for my children when I think they may someday be wearing burqhas or unrolling prayer rugs 5 times a day to the call of Adhan and wondering why we didn't do anything about this when we had the chance.

Up to you folks to decide the merits of my comments but while you argue or make snarky remarks, just remember we have been warned over and over. United we may have a chance to preserve liberty and free thinking, divided we shall surely fail.

A Concerned Citizen

This came by e-mail from a Democrat who stated they will not vote for another Democrat even if there were no other choices.

How a Concerned Citizen Will be Voting for President

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President. I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words 'money' and 'special intersts' come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth ! But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job !

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend 'God Damn America' Jeremiah Wright... It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there. The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people. We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your 'spiritual mentor'..

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a 'discouraging word' in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades.

Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now YOU look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there ! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallys and never once heard the 'N' word. Yep. And Bill Clinton 'did not inhale'.

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you. I am deeply sorry, that in a county teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President, that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Now, did I mention Bill Clinton ?

AH YES ! This brings us to MRS. WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, who this candidate really is, in spite of all the other names she may care to call herself. This 'feminist' piece of work of course would like to be referred to as MS. and we all know who wears the pant suit in that family.

MS. Clinton, (sugar), it is just as depressing to realize that there are dozens of women who would also make great Presidents. But, unfortunately, the horrible state of the selection process has selected YOU. Ms. Clinton, I'm sorry, but you could not tell the truth if we waterboarded your worthless ass !

Still you play the role of the 'embarrassed but dignified noble wife'. What utter malarky ! I am not voting for you for a world of reasons, but the main one is the same as my not voting for Senator Obama. You persistently insult my intelligence. It COULD be conceivably possible that you did not know about Monica Lewinsky, extremely remote, but possible if we stretch our imaginations a bit. But you turn around and then ask me to believe that you also did not know about Paula Jones and the legion of other women who were chewed up and spit out by your lecherous excuse for a husband. Puleese turn off this broken record !!!

But let's set aside your hubby's flagrant pecadillos. The real reason I will never vote for you is that I don't think the country can survive EIGHT MORE YEARS of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Sandy Berger stuffing his socks with classified intelligence, Janet Reno's goon squad, and the myriad other corruptions that seem to stick to you like your ugly face. So our former President can't keep his dick in his pants. The REAL issue is that he committed perjury under oath when he lied about it and the pathetically-attempted coverup that followed. Like you, he is totally incapable of telling the truth. He could not do it if you tortured him, and in voting for you, we would get the BOTH of you, all over again. The same folks who could have taken out Osama Bin Laden over 3,000 dead Americans ago !

And please stop telling me that you have '8 years of experience' to lead us. You were the freakin' first lady already, not the Commander in Chief. Jeez ! The sum of your 'experience' is that of the most worrisome and incompetent meddling in the history of the White House. You even cursed your pitiful staff and the Secret Service agents who were and still are unfortunately charged with risking their lives to protect your worthless, thieving hide, and all at the expense of other people who have to work for a living.

Your single pathetic platform is to finance the illegal drugs, alcoholism and bad habits of the very lowest and most irresponsible freeloaders in America and to then 'garnish the wages' (your own words) of every law-abiding and hard-working American to pay for it. This disaster you refer to as 'Universal Health Care'. Where have you been the last 30 years ? Did you not see that socialism is a failure wherever it has been tried ? Did you not notice that the Soviet Union has collapsed since it gave no reward to those who worked the hardest for the fruits of their own labors to pay for those who will not ??

It is interesting to see all the dead bodies that you and your hubby have left in your wake. Suicides, mysterious deaths, cover-ups that make Richard Nixon look like a rank amateur. The utter contempt and unbelievable arrogance of some of your strongest supporters, most notably the recently resigned and disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, the epitome of hypocritical and malevolent arrogance gone wild, one of your most ardent, wealthy and powerful political supporters. A man the news media refuses to admit IS a 'super delegate' in your own political machine, a fine example of your own 'adopted' state of New York. No wonder you moved there to run for Senator ! The environment there is perfect for the likes of you !

Yes, I would vote for a woman, but I will NOT vote for YOU !

Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabres at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really pissed off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these 'world leaders' to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other assholes in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are pissed at him and the conservatives are pissed at him. Just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a Jew whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally pissed off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America. When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was 'nothing special'. Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the 'average American', and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot on election day for John McCain--warts and all.

God Bless America,

A Concerned Citizen

Battle Hymn of The Republic



Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.


I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.


I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.


He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.


In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;[originally let us die to make men free] While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.


He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

Thank You For Praying For Mrs. CP

I want to thank each person who has been praying for Mrs. CP during the last week as she has suffered terribly with a stiff neck and nearly unbearable pain. 


Starting Monday night, she began to feel some relief. Yesterday and today she has continued to improve and for that we are all very thankful. 

After being in the ER for nearly 5 hours last Wednesday, she was back at the family doctor on Friday. The family doctor couldn't find anything other than the arthritis and also muscle spasms. Additional pain killers and different muscle relaxers was given, but no relief all weekend. 

Finally on Monday, just as unexplained as when it started she started feeling better. 

Mrs. CP knows that there has been many, many people praying for her and she appreciates it very much! Please continue to pray as she is not back to 100% yet, and we still don't know the reason it happened. 

God is Good!

Cyber Pastor

PS. That's Mrs. CP with our youngest grandchild in the picture - aren't they cute?!?!?!

Will There Be Sanctions Against Iran?

by Garry
The United States and some European partners are pushing ahead with sanctions against Iran for its nuclear programme. Whether or not the sanctions will work is questionable in light of China's involvement.
The sanctions which are being proposed against Iran are not very far reaching, and not very strong after being watered down by Russian and Chinese demands for changes. On March 24 Iran applied for membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO.) 

The other members of that organization are China, Russia, 
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Several other nations are listed as "Observers' 

The ability to have sanctions working to promote a peaceful resolution to the apparent desire of 
Iran to possess nuclear weapons is predicated on a unified front of all concerned to present the sanctions and to eliminate any of the nations involved in the negotiations from working behind the scenes to provide materials, materiel and technological assistance Iran needs to continue on the path toward nuclear militarization. 

The inclusion of 
Iran in the SCO would seriously blunt the ability of the Western Powers to do any sort of serious economic arm twisting against the hard line Iranian regime. The largest consumers of Iranian oil are both Asian, China and Japan. (as of 2006) The primary investor in Irans energy sector is China, the single largest consumer of Iran's refined gasoline is now Singapore. 

A relevant passage from a Xinhua News Agency release: 

Courtesy of Xinhua, here’s what Chinese-language coverage had to say (translations by China Matters): 
The resolution emphasized diplomatic efforts, resumed dialogue and negotiations with 
Iran ... balance between sanctions and encouragement of negotiations. 
There are strict limits on targets of sanctions ... sanctions are "reversible", temporarily or even permanently if 
Iran takes positive steps to implement the Security Council resolution. 
Different countries have different interpretations of the resolution ... roots [of deadlock] are in the severe lack of mutual trust between the United States and 
Iran. If this problem is not resolved, then there will be no breakthrough on the Iran nuclear question.


The result of such a statement is to place a great deal of doubt on how far 
China is willing to go to pressure Iran to let go of it's nuclearization efforts. The bottom line for both the United States though and Israel is the inadmissibility of allowing Iran to possess nuclear weapons. Iran's Hard line regime in the person of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has publicly stated the goal of Iran is to "wipe Israel off the map" 

That threat is not one which can be easily overcome by merely wishing it away. The Chinese/Iranian connection places major obstacles in the path of coercing 
Iran to live at peace with it's neighbors and leaves the Europeans Bloc and more especially Israel with few options other than direct intervention in place of political pressure. 

Even the European partners in sanctions are very suspect, 
Germany by itself does more than US $5.5 billion worth of business with Iranevery year. Germany's willingness to lose that sort of consumer is very questionable when placed against the loss job production from the trade. 

The United States has also been a questionable proponent of sanctions against Iran, by allowing American companies to create front companies in Dubai and do business with 
Iran as merchants through those subsidiaries. The net loss of imports by all nations have been met with substantial gains for China in all sectors impacted by the losses. The ability of most nations to lose their trading partners though will place burdens on their respective governments and stress on their financial sectors at a time when none of the world markets can easily bear the strain. 

China, Germany, Russia, and Japan all have economic ties to Iran which would appear to be inseparable from their economies, but they should also recognize the dire circumstance place against the United States in relation to our actual survival as a nation. We can live without Iran, the oil in the ground will be there in fifty, one hundred or two hundred years if the United States is forced to take military action against Iran. Can the rest of the world live without the United States? 

The idea of a peacefully negotiated solution appears to have slipped away while the merchants were busy creating wealth. Wealth which in itself was not bad, but which seems to have controlled economic and foreign policy in a negative manner. The solution would seem to be energy independence for the United States, but that goal has been hampered by restrictive laws, and even more restrictive rulings from the Judiciary and mid level bureaucrats in government. Restrictions imposed without thought to the consequence of placing our own necks in a noose. 
The time to loosen the noose may be arriving shortly. Lets hope for a politician smart enough and strong enough to untie the knot.
 
I could be wrong in my assessment of the various personalities involved in the run for POTUS this election cycle, but at least two of the contestants don't seem to have more than a vague understanding of the intricate nature of the problems they will bump against ( maybe at 3:00 O'Clock in the morning?) And the one who has the best chance of dealing with the thorny issues must first get the official Okee Dokee from  a majority of the Electoral College. I am so very glad I have a personal relationship with the Living God, His Son and am able through His Holy Spirit to place my burdens on Greater Shoulders than mine.
 
Two of the "America Is The Enemy Party" sycophants need to have their diapers changed, the rest of them need to look at the rather antagonistic world we live in these days and decide if Hillary or Obama is able and willing to Stand in the Gap. I don't believe either of them is capable and I strongly queston Obamas intent to do so. He appears to be an agent of change, for the other side. Those who would have this nation cease to exist.

Updates on A Couple of "OUR" Troops


While most of us don't even know "OUR" troops, we still consider them ours! Here is an update on a couple of them. 


First: Spec 4 Courtright

"By the way Spec 4 Courtright arrived home March 19, 2008 @ 0441 HRS. Safe and Sound. Thanks for the prayers!" this comment was from his father and so are the comments below which is from his blog, Mark 1:11.


Thank You.


This post is pre-written and will be posted as soon after BOG (Boots on the Ground) return date for my son, March 17th as possible. Unlike most of my posts is is relatively short but needs to be said.

My wife bore me son
We gave the war a boy
God gave me back a man
Thank you Lord

To all the people who have supported me and my family and my son for the past 15 months no "Thank you" is enough but, it's the only thing I have to give. Your prayers and support helped me through some very tough times. I wish to name a few of you here and if I have forgotten someone please forgive me.

In no special order

(READ THE REST by clicking one of the links above - CP)


Also, and update on a wounded warrior Daniel Porter:

Daniel Porter is doing good, the thumb is going to stay on, the arm is healing well. He has left Walter Reed in D.C. and went to Texas for two weeks, then Home for 30 days and then back to his unit. Daniel is mildly ticked he has to take the 30 day leave, he and his brother are pretty close.

Update: Additional comment from Spec. Courtright's father here.

Continuation of "Moderate Muslims"

From Ben.

Moderation in abundance among Muslims
Saturday, 12 April, 2008 @ 4:26 PM

The editorial claims to be based on a Gallup poll, which it neither links to nor clearly identifies. It mentions a book co-authored by John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. [Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think] Those writers have a promo piece in the April 2 L.A. Times, which also fails to explicitly identify or link to the poll. Do you care to hazard a guess as to who published their hagiography? No, I won't tell you, its too obvious.

Gallup does not offer the internal data--the questions asked and actual responses. Without that data we can not evaluate the poll. A similar World Opinion poll is more complete, I invite you to explore it.

And now, at long last, the first jewel of unwisdom:

After the spectacular assassination of Marxism and disintegration of Soviet Union, the West found itself a new enemy in Islam.

The author assumes that we are entirely ignorant of history: the Barbary Pirates! America was attacked by Islam and paid Jizya long before the Soviet Union threatened us. Islam is an old enemy!

And the results have also given birth to a book called, Who Speaks for Islam? What a billion Muslims really think by John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed.

How big was that sample? Over a six year term, while opinions are dynamic, not static and may be volatile? Of course the survey had to ignore kitman and al-taqeyya.

For instance, the fact that it's not Islamic teachings that drive some individuals to violence but historical injustices inflicted and perpetuated by some Western powers.

Fight them until... [8:390
Fight those who... until...[9:29]
"I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' [Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387]
The Caliph makes war upon Jews and Christians...[Reliance of the Traveller O-9.8]
The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim [O-9.9]

In 1786 Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). They asked him by what right he extorted money and took slaves. Jefferson reported to Secretary of State John Jay, and to the Congress:

The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered 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 Mussulman (or Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War ]

Many concerned commentators including this humble hack have repeatedly argued that what is fueling the so-called clash of civilizations is not some absurd hatred of the Christian West sanctioned by Islam but Western ignorance about Muslims. The poll backs this argument.

Evidently the humble hack neglected to read the Qur'an & Hadith. Use the links I provided above. Read all of Surahs 8,9,47 & 48. What did Allah command? Read Surahs 33 & 59. What did Allah do? Read Bukhari's books 52, 53 & 59. What did Muhammad do? Do the commands and the actions form a congruent pattern?

There are other findings that are equally interesting. Contrary to common perceptions in the West, the majority of respondents think men and women have equal rights.


Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the ...[YAQB got Hilali & Khan wrong. Read the other translations to see the truth about this ayeh.,]
...beat them (lightly, if it is useful),...
Allâh commands you as regards your children's (inheritance); to the male, a portion equal to that of two females...
...And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her....

Whose word is uppermost in Islam; who rules? Can his word be changed?

What about the legendary Muslim sympathy for terrorism? While 6% of the Americans think attacks involving civilians are 'completely justified,' in Saudi Arabia, this figure is 4%. In Lebanon it's 2%.

What is the definition of innocent civilians? Does that definition include you? Because you have not read the Qur'an, you are unaware of Surah Al-Ma'idah 33. You have heard 5:32 quoted, but not its successor. Why is that?

5:33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allâh and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
`Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways.

Note the highlighted phrases [bold red] in the ayeh and Ibn Kathir's Tafsir below it. Disbelief in Allah constitutes waging war against Islam, subjecting you to the listed hudud. Because you do not believe in Allah and submit, you are subject to having a hand & foot or your head amputated. You have not heard 5:33 quoted because of kitman. Muslims avoid revealing unpleasant truths about Moe's murder cult.

The majority of Muslims absolutely rejects violence and terrorism. In fact, many of the respondents quoted Quranic verses to point out that extremism goes against Islamic teachings.

It is impossible to reject violence & terrorism and remain a Muslim in good standing. Rejecting any part of the Qur'an is tantamount to apostasy [Reliance O-8.7.7]

O8.7: Acts that Entail Leaving Islam
-7- to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus (def:b7) belongs to it, or to add a verse that does belong to it;
What is the scholarly consensus? Read the samples at FOMI. Allah can not be in conflict with himself, so conflicting ayat are abrogated by those revealed more recently. Al-Anfal & Al-Taubah were among the last to be revealed, so they abrogate earlier ayat which conflict with them. The primary commands to commit violence, genocide & terrorism are found in those surahs. 8:12 mandates terrorism. 8:39 mandates perpetual war against pagans. 8:67 mandates genocide. 9:29 mandates perpetual war against Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians.


Those of you who may have knowledge of Muslim's outside our borders with a desire to read the truth but are blocked or without access please read the excerpt below from FFI.
Bypass any Ban : Faithfreedom.org is blocked in many Islamic countries. You can bypass any ban with a software created to help people in communist and Islamic countries to have access to free thought. You can download the software for free from their site tor.eff.org If that site is also blocked send an email to sendtor (at) gmail.com and an automatic responder will send you the software.

Against The Term "Moderate Muslims"

From Ben at ANewtOne.

Article at "Sons of Apes And Pigs".

By Abdennur Prado, wherein are found the following gems of idiocy:


In reality, the term "moderate Islam" is strange, since Islam is in essence a moderate religion. If these are the sacraments of a 'moderate religion', what in Hell are the sacraments of an 'extreme religion'? [I have quoted Rodwell's translation and linked to ten parallel translations and to Ibn Kathir's Tafsir.]

Fight them until...

The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr

Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given...

The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah

...Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger-tip....

Allah commands the Angels to fight and support the Believers

... No prophet hath been enabled to take captives until he had made great slaughter in the earth...
The Command to strike the Enemies' Necks, tighten Their Bonds, and then free Them either by an Act of Grace or for a Ransom.

Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390: Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

There is no moderate Islam, because there isn't any immoderate Islam, for the same rule of three: if someone is fanatical, it means that he has made his religion a barrier, an idol against other religions, therefore he has not accepted diversity as a mandate, and he has not submitted himself to a Creator who gives us diversity as one of His most marvelous signs. What mandate for diversity?

Whoso desireth any other religion than Islam, that religion shall never be accepted from him, and in the next world he shall be among the lost.

The Only Valid Religion To Allah is Islam

O ye who have believed! form not intimacies among others than yourselves....

The Prohibition of Taking Advisors From Among the Disbelievers

He it is who hath sent His Apostle with the Guidance and a religion of the truth, that He may make it victorious over every other religion, albeit they who assign partners to God be averse from it.

Fighting the Jews and Christians is legislated because They are Idolators and Disbelievers Allah won't tolerate anything other than Islam, prohibits friendship with Kuffar(unbelievers/infidels), and ordains fighting them. So much for diversity!!!

Dean; The words of Allah and Muhammad are clear, there is no such thing as a "moderate Muslim".

An Apology To The Valiant American Soldier

From Jewish Odysseus blog.

Khudayr Taher: An Apology to the Valiant American Soldier

In an April 8, 2008 article titled "Apology to the Valiant American Soldier,"

Iraqi liberal Khudayr Taher bemoaned the ill treatment the U.S. army received from those it liberated:

"We forsook you and betrayed you – we, whose history is an expression of massacres, conflagrations, and ruin. We killed you, and we killed our dream and aspiration of reaching the sun, the moon, and the stars – [we killed our dream] of availing ourselves of the opportunity to live as true humans, thanks to your presence."

My dear, brave American soldier, you noble individual who traversed land and sea in order to write the story of Iraqi freedom for the first time in its modern history – you believed, in accordance with logic, self-evident truths, and rational thought, that a people who had been subjected to repression, starvation, and killing would dance for joy, and would thank Allah who sent you to them as a liberating angel. [You believed that] they would strew flowers and break out in songs of joy that would smash the chains of slavery, ignominy, and humiliation."

Not even a writer of surrealistic [literature] or [theater of] the absurd would have imagined that the Iraqi people would revolt against their liberator and would rush ardently back to a new bondage of a different kind – that of the religious cleric, the tribal sheikh, and the gang leader. It was unthinkable that the people would go against logic, rational thought, and self-evident truths, in a mad rush towards the abyss and total ruin.

"My beloved, brave American soldier, we apologize to you, and we are saddened at our wretched and miserable selves. Since we are a people that slaughters itself, and kills one another, cutting off heads, what can you expect from us other than ingratitude, perfidy, and stabbing you in the back for the benefit of Iranian and Syrian intelligence and Al-Qaeda?..."

Fighting Battles....Ignoring Wars

Cross posted from ANewtOne.

HT to Ben; "The Gathering Storm newsletter informed me of this vital article at Think-Israel. Click the title, read it all and share it with your friends. The hour is late, wake up already!"

By Philip V. Brennan


We make a serious mistake when we fail to recognize that the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan and Lebanon are merely part of a worldwide war. We cannot prevail in any of these conflicts as long as we insist on treating them as isolated incidents. We are engaged in combat with a well financed, determined enemy with forces in every corner of the globe that will not cease their attacks until we drive them off the face of the earth.

Should Israel cease to exist, and were the U.S. to pull out of Iraq in the face of a civil war, the world war would not end. It will go on until either the West defeats it or it defeats the West If we begin to recognize that we are in a real war and fighting for our very lives, and that this war will last for most of our lifetimes, we will begin to understand that we are either in this struggle for the long haul,
or are prepared to surrender and submit our children to the law of Sharia.

Picture your daughter in a burka.

Prayer Needed

Mrs. CP needs your prayers. She has had a stiff neck with severe pain since Wednesday. We had her at the ER on Wednesday and our family doctor today and all they find is a massive amount of arthritis (which we didn't know about) and muscle spasms. They don't know why the horrible pain hit all of a sudden. 


Helping take care of her, and the other chores has made blogging next to impossible, but that's ok as priorities are there for a reason, and Dean and Snooper have helped out with some posts while I've been unable to do it. 

I have lots to say about Vets for Freedom and pictures to download and share, and I'm sorry they won't be a as timely as I hoped. However, I just ask that you pray that my wife nearly 27 years gets some relief from her pain.

God Bless you all!

Cyber Pastor

PS. That's Mrs. CP and I with my 80 year old aunt that we spent the week with when we were on vacation.

Let Them Win!

From Pete Hegseth, Executive Director Vets For Freedom

'Dear Vets for Freedom members:

Yesterday was a great day for our country, and for Vets for Freedom.

Not only did General Petraeus testify to incredible progress in Iraq, but Vets for Freedom was joined at a press conference on Capitol Hillby Senators McCain, Lieberman, and Graham; as well as Democrat Jim Marshall and two dozen other Senators and Representatives. Thirty media outlets covered the event, and a few of the sound bites are below:

"No one detests war more than a veteran ... you know better than any the consequences of defeat. My friends, we will never surrender to the extremists." - Senator John McCain

"Do not underestimate the contribution you have made on the political battlefield at home." - Senator Joe Lieberman

"You want to know who wants you to come home more than anybody? Al Qaeda because you''re kicking their ass." - Senator Lindsay Graham

As the press conference concluded, over 400 Iraq and Afghanistanveterans and members of Vets for Freedom descended on Capitol Hill,where over 300 meetings were held with their representatives in theSenate and the House. The message was simple: support the commanders onthe ground and let the troops win!

Now it''s off to New York City for the final day of the Tour. Join us this evening on the "Glenn Beck Show" on CNN Headline News as three Vets for Freedom members discuss highlights from the tour, Vets on the Hill, and the Petraeus testimony. The message is getting to America, and with your continued support, we will ensure that America understands the truth of what is really happening in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Move Out and Draw Fire!

War News: How About Some Truth For a Change?

Cross posted from ANewtOne. HT to Snooper.

~Snooper~

As most of you know, I am a proud member of the Victory Caucus. I joined that group seemingly eons ago in internet years but in reality, it hasn't been all that long ago. It is a web site that is geared for those that seek truth and seek to learn truth. The anti-Americanists, everywhere around the globe hates the place. Me? I love it.

On April 8th, yesterday, I received an email from the Victory Caucus notifying its members of a new web site entitled IraqStatusReport. Go there and learn truth. The hard, cold truth. No holds barred, unabashed and unafraid. That is, if you really want to know truth.

Anti-Americanists need not apply. We think you suck anyway.

Have fun and fear not...Truth really doesn't hurt all that much.

Thank you Snooper! Ruck up ladies and germs......Move out.

Department of Homeland Insecurity

Want a Homeland Security grant? Hamas connections? No problem, apparently

Your tax dollars at work.

"Why Is The Department Of Homeland Security Funding The "Hardening" Of Florida Mosques?" by William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz for Pipeline News:

April 9, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The Department of Homeland Security - [DHS] a cabinet level department - was created, with legislation signed into law by President Bush on November 25, 2002 as part of a governmental reorganization conducted post 9/11.

As part of this plan seven heretofore independent agencies have been rolled into this new bureaucracy - the Transportation Security Administration [TSA], U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration, U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard.

All of these sub-cabinet level departments report directly to the DHS Secretary, Michael Chertoff, a former circuit judge and federal prosecutor, who also served [1995-1996] as Special
Counsel to the Senate's Whitewater Committee.

With a budget well over $50 billion DHS is the prototypical DC bureaucracy in which transparency and accountability are sometimes in short supply.

Starting in 2005 DHS, through FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, commenced a program - UASI Non-Profit Security Grants - the purpose of which was to provide: "...funding support for target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of international terrorist attack. While this funding is provided specifically to high-risk nonprofit organizations, the program seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts..." [[DHS FY 2007 UASI Guidance]]

In 2007 the amount available for this program was $24,007,500.00 [DHS FY UASI Grant Fund Distribution]

To clarify the decision making process in its grant making authority DHS promulgated a very specific set of guidelines to determine which nonprofits might be eligible for these awards:
"...Criteria for determining eligible applicants who are at high risk of terrorist attack include, but are not limited to:

Identification and substantiation (e.g. police reports or insurance claims) of prior threats or attacks against the nonprofit organization or directly related organizations (within or outside the U.S.) by a terrorist organization, network, or cell.
Symbolic value of the site(s) as a highly recognized national or historical institution that renders the site a possible target of terrorism.

Role of the applicant nonprofit organization in responding to or recovering from terrorist attacks
Findings from previously conducted risk assessments including threat, vulnerability or consequence.

In a 2007 article for Front Page Magazine Homeland Security's Islamist Payday, Joe Kaufman broke the story that a Florida based Islamist, Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout, had been the recipient of one of these UASI grants.

The resulting controversy apparently temporarily halted the awarding of the grant, which was resubmitted for further review.

In a series of calls made to DHS, these writers have now ascertained that the review of Zakkout's grant proposal is complete and that the agency charged with securing the American homeland, has in its infinite wisdom awarded Zakkout $69, 885.00, to be used to purchase security hardware for 23 mosques in Florida's largest counties, Broward, Palm Beach, Miami and Dade.

What kind of individual is Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout?

He is a long-time Islamist and a supporter of Hamas. The 501c3 which he runs, American Muslims for Emergency Relief [AMER] will be the beneficiary of the DHS award and through that group the funds will be distributed. AMER is a division of a larger organization, the American Muslim Association of North America [AMANA] also run by Zakkout who is based in South Florida, an area well known for the presence of Muslim extremism, with 11 of the 19 9/11 hijackers having cycled through the area.

As of this writing we have not been able to probe the manner in which Zakkout was vetted by DHS but under any reasonable interpretation of the funding requirements combined with Zakkout's long history as a radical Muslim we believe that process failed in a most fundamental way.

Zakkout served for a time as the vice president of the HRCP, Health Resource Center Palestine, which was closed down for because of links to the terrorist group Hamas. In an April 3 interview with PipeLineNews.org, he denied any association with HRCP.

However, contrary to Zakkout's claim, according to archived internet records that we have obtained, Zakkout was listed as the VP of HRCP from April 24, 2000 through December 28, 2000 on various iterations of the organization's website.

We have reconstructed, using as much of the original html coding possible, two HRCP website pages, which are reproduced in the below linked documents. [...]

Zakkout listed as V.P of HRCP

HRCP website with hyperlinks to the Islamic Association for Palestine [IAP] and Free Palestine, both Hamas front groups


Another aspect of this matter, perhaps even more damaging than the simple misappropriation of homeland security funds is that this award will give Zakkout and his two groups AMER and AMANA, increased credibility, something in high demand among domestic Islamist organizations which are continually striving to present themselves as anything but what they actually are, committed jihadists at war with the West. These hard-core fundamentalists look upon the type of action that DHS took in this case as a public relations gold mine, and use it to approach other governmental agencies, private institutions and religious organizations, offering it as validation of their claims of moderation.

Understanding this is key to understanding the nuance and subtlety involved in the dialectic of stealth jihad, we ignore it at our peril.

Read all the details here.

Are you outraged? You should be. This puts one more nail in our coffin as we step ever closer to Muslim domination. Call me a bigot...call me an alarmist...call me anything you damn well please but you better be paying attention to what these idiots are doing or this country that we love so much will soon be a footnote in a history book somewhere unless we STOP the spread of Islam.
Islam is NOT peaceful and it is not a religion that has been hijacked by radicals.It is out to bury you, your family and all you hold dear. They don't care anything about you, in fact, they want you dead.

Get it?

We elect politicians to do the will of the people, but we the people are being hoodwinked and railroaded by a bunch of numbskulls and nitwits.
