"Religion of Peace" ... Don't Think So!

Islam is NOT "The Religion of Peace!"

The "Piss Christ" photograph is a perfect example of the difference between Christians and Muslims and why each faith act so differently when persecution comes to their faith.

The fundamental difference is this, Christians have the New Testament and do their best to live by this very popular scripture.

"If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also." Luke 6:29 NLT

The timing could not be better, after all, it has only been a couple of weeks since the release of You Tube's "Innocence of Muslims" and the violence in dozens of nations against U.S. embassies which resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American heroes.

So, why do Muslims react in such a different manner than Christians when their sacred beliefs have been "stepped on?" Why do they react violently against others that do not believe the same as they do? Maybe it is because they believe in teachings that is very different than the Christians. Maybe their core beliefs contain something very much different. Maybe the Infidels, which is us, is seen in a much different light. After all, they are "coined" the "religion of peace", but it this true? Let us look at some of their teachings and judge for yourself.

Remember, the Christian New Testament teaches Christians to "Turn the cheek" against their enemies and forgive their enemies.

Let us take a look at what the Koran tells the Muslims to do to their enemies.

"Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them." (2.191)
"Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." (9:123)
"When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." (9:5)
"Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax." (9:29)
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." (3:85)
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam." (5:33)

"The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque." (9:28)
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." (22:19)
"Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them." (47:4)
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." (8:65)
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." (3:28)
"Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran." (8:12)
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." (8:60)

Yes, the Old Testament does have some verses that can be argued as similar to the ones above such as "You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Deuteronomy 19:21 NLT

Christians believe that the Old Testament was the "Old Covenant" that was established through Moses between God and man and the New Testament is the "New Covenant" that was established through our Savior Jesus Christ and his death for our sins. This is why Christians place more weight on New Testament scripture and find the teachings of Jesus much more relevant than those of the Old Testament. For Christians, the Old Testament is great for teaching stories of morale and character, but look to the New Testament for how to live their lives. The ultimate goal for a Christian is to be "like Christ" in every way possible. Jesus always taught forgiveness, love, and kindness.

Here are some of Jesus's teachings of how Christians should treat their enemies.

"But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!" Matthew 5:44 NLT
"But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Luke 6:27 NLT
"Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then you reward form heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked." Luke 6:35 NLT

One can easily see the strikingly opposite teachings of the Christian's Jesus and Islam's Mohammad. I would argue that this is the true reason why there is a fundamental difference between reactions of these different faiths when they are persecuted by their enemies. I would also argue that this is the also the reason why it is politically incorrect to persecute Muslims, but fair game to persecute the Christians.

It is simple! It is OK to persecute Christians because everyone knows that they will do the peaceful thing and "turn the other cheek." Everyone knows that Christians will not be rioting in the streets and burning U.S. flags. They know that they will not be rising up and conducting terrorist attacks on embassies and killing our American heroes. I deplore you and everyone who reads this message, stop believing the liberal lies and do not fall into the trap of political correctness. See and speak the truth about the truth behind these religions. The biggest lie out there is that Islam is the "Religion of Peace!" I argue otherwise, I say the Christians are the "Religion of Peace." After all, I have always been led to believe that "Actions speak louder than words!"

If you do not believe, please show me proof otherwise!

Muslim Religious Leader Instructs Men to Beat Wives!

Ephesians 5:25 "For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church. He gave up his life for her."

Muslim cleric, Abd Al-Rahman recently instructed men to "Beat" their wives in order to show them that they are beneath the husband. This is a transcribe of what he said,

"A good woman, even if beaten by her husband, puts her hand in his and says: 'I will not rest until you are pleased with me.' This is how the Prophet Muhammad taught his women to be. Islam instructs a man to beat his wife as a last resort before divorce, so that she will mend her ways, treat him with kindness and respect, and know that her husband has a higher status than her."

"I say to every husband: Do not rush to beat her whenever a problem arises. O servant of Allah, Allah said, 'Admonish those of them on whose part you fear disobedience, refusal to share their beds, and beat them.' One should not beat out of anger."

I still have not figured out why these people are called the "Religion of Peace." Everything that I have seen points exactly to the opposite.

What do you say?

Mom and Dad Kill Their Daughter Because She Refused to Marry 1st Cousin

Psalm 106:38 "They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters."

Yes, you guessed it. It is another case of "honor-killing" from our favorite "religion of peace!" This beautiful girl you see in the image to the right was killed in a team effort by both her Mom and Dad because she brought embarrassment to the family by refusing to go along with an arranged marriage to her 1st cousin in Pakistan.

It was only because she was born in England, that she had the right to denign the marriage in the first place. If she had been born in Pakistan like her mother and father, she would have not had the choice and would have probaly been stoned to death for defying her father's orders. I guess her father and mother forgot that when you become a member of a civilized society, killing your children no longer becomes a legal option when they disobey or embarrass the family.



Justice Roderick Evans said this to the father and mother after sentencing them to life in prison, "She was being squeezed between two cultures — the culture and way of life that she saw around her and wanted to embrace, and the culture and way of life you wanted to impose on her,"

All that Shafilea wanted to do, was be like the other girls she went to school with and became friends with; her troubles began at age 10 when she began to rebel against her parents' strict rules. She was severly punished when caught using make-up and changing into western clothes at school.



The turning point in the trial was the testimony of her younger sister, Alesha, who was 12 years old at the time of the murder. The jury was captivated when they heard her 1st hand account of the events that happened on the night of her sister's murder.

She described how an argument broke out between her parents and Shafilea over the dress she was wearing, then her parents pushed her down on the couch and stuffed a plastic bag into her mouth and held her nose closed until she died. She remembered how her mother said, "just finish it here" while her sister was struggling for her life.

In Britain alone, there have been more than 25 women that have died from "honor killings" in the last decade. In every case the family claims that the girl brought "shame" onto the family because she adopted western ways. There have been several similar case in America also; just recently a young Muslim girl was ran over by a car by her father because he believed her to have embarrassed the family and adopted "western ways."

I would like to know why there is no public outcry from the leaders of Muslim communities? Every Muslim leader should stand up and condemn these deplorable actions. Why do they not make the message clear that this type of behavior will not be tolerated? 



A Dangerous Islamic Alliance

My News Limerick:
Farrakhan & the New Black Panther's Chairman,
Forged an alliance with the leader of Iran,
An Islamic pact,
That is nuclear backed,
Worst nightmare for any Israeli fan!

Famous Quote of the Day:
"Yes, I have cherished my "demagogue" role. I know that societies often have killed the people who have helped to change those societies. And if I can die having bought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help to destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in the body of America - then, all of the credit is due to Allah. Only the mistakes have been mine."
Malcom X (1964), The Autobiography of Malcom X

My Commentary:
Racism cannot be combated by racism. I just do not "get it!" People such as Malik Zulu Shabazz, Farrakhan, and the late Malcom X, whom they look up to, primary beef was against racism against blacks in America, but they themselves are more racist than most of those they openly hate. The racism is not just against whites or the KKK, etc. Because of their Islamic beliefs, another primary target is Israel and not at all ashamed to say so.

Recently Shabazz discussed a frightening alliance between The Nation of Islam, the New Black Panthers, and the Iranian regime leader, Ahmadinejad, whom possesses nuclear capabilities.  The meeting took place on September 27th, 2010 in New York on top of a Manhattan Rooftop with another 50 radical Imams in attendance. Details of this meeting were never publicly revealed until a recent Black Panther Radio message by Shabazz on Saturday.

Following, is some dialogue from the broadcast:

• Envisions the "glory" of "paroling on the Israeli embassy with a hundred New Black Panthers" fighting for Palestine.
• Fighting white people is an "international struggle against a common enemy."
• Whites are trying to "divide the non-white" population against each other.
• Because "half of Africa" was involved in slavery "we say Africa owes us reparations, too."
• Black radicals should seek "alliances that are possible right now with people who got solid track records of being against this beast [white people]."
• Shabazz "stands on solid ideological ground" with "His Excellency, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."
• "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" understands "the dynamics and the politics of world revolution."
• Shabazz discussed "bringing natural gas and oil and other reparations into the black nation, and other things - unmentionable" with Ahmadinejad.
• There were "fifty Imams in the meeting" and "Minister Farrakhan is sitting in the first seat in the front."

• There are "just as many Arabs who hate this white man as we do" and the Black Panthers should ally themselves with radical Islam.

How many racist statements can you find? I am so very tired of the bigotry within these groups. How can you preach against the racism of African Americans and be an extreme racist yourself.

These groups blame whites and the Jews for everything, but refuse to mention the most destructive element blacks are dealing with on a daily basis. By far, the most destructive force within the black community is found within itself. Black on black crimes, to include murders, is 2 to 3 times more likely than White on black crimes. Everyday black communities are tearing themselves apart from the inside out and all these groups can do is blame the white man and the Jews.

Of course, these groups will say that their situation is the fault of the whites. They are repressed and oppressed. Yes, they have been repressed in the past, but this country has come along way since the 60s equal rights with Dr. King.

President Obama is living proof that opportunities are available for anyone who is willing to work hard to achieve their goals. Let us stop making excuses and find productive positive ways to change the extreme racism that exists within our country on all sides of the fence.

Like I said earlier, "Racism cannot be combated by racism."

Racism can only be defeated through love and understanding of each other's differences. "Stop the Hate!" and "Start the Love!"

The "Sacred Sacrifice"

My News Limerick:

A Saudi Arabian man full of pride,

Has a peculiar way of making money on the side,

Auctioned off his son,

Sold them one by one,

The other sons already sold to die,

Quote of the Day:

“I have given two cousins to war and I stand ready to sacrifice my wife’s brother.”

Artemus Ward (1834 – 1867)

My Commentary:

Another sick and gruesome story from our “Religion of Love” allies in Saudi Arabia. But wait, Shhhhhhhhhhh!We should all follow the liberal’s advice and be tolerant of others. Maybe if we are tolerant and accepting of their Sharia Law, then maybe they will change.

I do not care what religion you are or if you do not have any religion? How perverse is it to sell off your sons to die? This Saudi Arabian man is not only doing it, but happy and proud to do it!

There is no doubt in my mind that something is seriously wrong with Islamic extremists. Every levelheaded Muslim leader in the world should stand up and condemn these actions, but they will not. How often do you hear these leaders condemning these despicable actions?  At best, we very rarely hear anything from them.

Let us put the “shoe on the other foot” for a minute and make a comparison between Muslims and Christians. How do Christian leaders react when Christian extremist do terrible acts? First, most probably feel the same as I do, Very ashamed and do not believe they are “true” believers and followers of Christ. Most important is that they are very quick to condemn their actions. I would also like to point out that terrorist attacks by Christian extremist are very rare compared to large daily amounts Muslim extremist have. Maybe that is it! Could it be that Muslim leaders are numb to the horror of their believers because terrorist violence happens daily within their ranks? No, I do not think so either!

During research on this story, I read countless comments asking, “Where’s the mother?” and I thought to myself, “Idiots, are people really this ignorant?” Do you not know that the mother has less say so in this matter than their family goat? The mother is at home with the other “sister wives” praying that she is not the next one on the “chopping block!” Even if she tried to stand up to her husband, she would be a victim of a “mercy killing!”

'Stop the Islamization of America'

My News Limerick:
A congressional candidate named Itamar Gelbman,
Says America is influenced by the Quran,
His political slogan,
Is more conservative than Reagan,
'Stop the Islamization of America' while we can!

Quote of the Day:
"Five to six million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons, and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined. Many demographers say Islam has overtaken Judaism as the country's second-most commonly practiced religion; others say it is in the passing lane."

Johan Blank, USNEWS (7/20/98)

My Commentation:
Texas Tea Party candidate Itamar Gelbman's campaign slogan, "Stop Islamization of America" is receiving high marks from his party, but also is bringing many enemies against him from the Left. 

Gelbman, a former Lieutenant in the Israeli Special Forces, has embraced a truth that many find hard to accept. This truth is the fact that Islamic culture is quickly finding its way into our culture. This is done first through infiltration of our government through officials and next will be government policies.

If you want proof of this, just look at how the media and our government deal with anything negative when it comes to Muslims. These subjects are almost "taboo" to talk about because they are considered "politically incorrect" to do so. But, as soon as a right wing Christian makes a mistake, they are the first to jump all over it!

In order for our principles and Nation to survive as we know it, we need more politicians to stand up and accept the dire predicament we are in. Let us all show our support for Itamar Gelbman and his courageous campaign!

Jihad is Coming our Way

My News Limerick:
Hamas, Hezbollah, and Muslim Brotherhood,

Many say they are misunderstood,

“Jihad is coming our way”

Do not be lead astray,

By liberals that believe everything is good,

Verses of the Day:

John 16:2 (ESV)

“They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.”

Matthew 5:43-48 (ESV)

“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,”

Quran Chapter: 2 Verse: 193

“And fight them until there is no more Fitnah,” (disbelief and non-Islamic behavior, discussion, politics, or religion) “and religion and politics is only for Allah. But if they cease, let there be no hostility except against infidel disbelievers."

Quote of the Day:
“If you overpower your enemy, then pardon him by way of thankfulness to Allah, for being able to subdue him.”

Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib, Nahj-ul-Balagha (Sermons and sayings Compiliation)

The Story:
Muslims have been ordered to fight until the only religion is Islam - world conquest. Even when they have overrun the world, there shall be no safe haven for "infidel disbelievers". This is as clear as a swastika.

As one can see, there is a fundamental opposing teaching philosophy difference between the Christian and Islam religions. I have only given you one example of this in the verses above. The Quran and the Bible have other verses that support these two opposing doctrines.

The Christian religion makes it clear to believers to “Love your enemies as yourself” and to “turn the other cheek”. This is evident in society today. Even after 9-11 and all the other attacks on us by Islam, we still to this day teachforgiveness and understanding.

I support this, but make something else very clear. There is a fine line between forgiveness and ignorance. We should continue to forgive, but also not forget that these attacks will continue. We cannot be stupid enough to believe loving our enemies will change them. We must take the appropriate steps to protect ourselves. We can continue to love our enemies while we defend ourselves.

The Islam religion also makes one of their teaching doctrines very clear.  Numerous verses in the Quran involve fighting, killing, defeat, etc. of the infidel.

Who are the infidels in the eyes of the Islamic extremist? Infidels are you, me, and any other person that has “conformed” to the “culture of the West”! Another definition would be any civilized society that does not live in accordance to “Sharia Law”.

This is the law that gives rights to “Honor Killings” and no rights to women and children in the Islam society. Women and children living under these laws are equal to the rights of an animal. Not only do they not have any rights, but also are bought and sold like camels. Muslim women are not even allowed to drive a car.

I will never forget, one time while serving in Iraq a local national attempted to buy my daughter for forty camels. Not long after that, another Iraqi tried to sell me his daughter. This illustrates the huge cultural barriers that separate our society from theirs. This gap cannot be breached by understanding or love.

This is a battle of cultural influence on each other’s society. The question is, which side is influencing or infiltrating the other the most? I cannot speak for our influence into their society because I do not live there, but all of us can see the influence Islam has on our own society.

Before influence can be successful, there first must be infiltration into the society. Below are some Muslims that have a high degree of influence within our current administration.

Salam al-Marayati, Founder and Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC): Marayati is an Iraqi immigrant that was nominated over a decade ago to serve on the National Commission on Terrorism. His nomination was withdrawn because of his active defense of Hezbollah and other Islamic groups. One of the founding members of MPAC, Hassan Hathout, was also a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood and a former Egyptian prisoner. MPAC supports the Hezbollah “liberation movement.”

Arif Alikahn, Former Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Policy Development: He is presently serving as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of DHS and Counterterrorism at the National Defense University. Alikahn was prior Deputy Mayor for Public Safety in Los Angeles and reportedly sabotaged LAPD’s attempts to monitor radical mosques within the city that supported 9/11 hijackers. He has affiliations with MPAC.

Rashad Hussain, State Department Special Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation: The Global Muslim brotherhood Daily Report uncovered that Hussain spoke at the Association of Muslim Social Scientists which was sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hussein also spoke at the Saudi funded Muslim Brotherhood directed Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim Christian Understanding of Georgetown University. Hussain also participates in  a Muslim Brotherhood founded front group Muslim Students Association's annual conference. 
Mohamed Elibiarey, Homeland Security Advisory Committee Member: The former president of the Freedom and Justice Foundation, which was billed to "promote a Centrist Puble Policy environment in Texas by coordinating the state level government and interfaith community relations for the organized Texas Muslim community." In 2004, he spoke in Dallas at a conference praising the "Great Islamic Visionary" Ayatollah Khomeini. Recently, he is famous for leaking highly sensitive intelligence documents to media in Texas.

My personal view:
So, let me ask this question again; Who is the most successive at the infiltration of the other's culture and setting roots in the other's leadership. I do not know, but Islam has one good start with ours.

Get Me Out of Here

There’s a new book titled, “Get Me Out of Here,”

Tale of Christian Pakistani, that you must hear,

Sentenced to die,

For tainting water supply,

Wouldn’t convert to their master and puppeteer!

What a disturbing story this is; a Pakistani woman in jail for the last three years facing a death penalty. The crime, becoming a Christian and refusing to convert back to Islam. If this story does not “Wake you Up!” to the state of affair in the Middle East, nothing will. I am amazed with how the U.S. is constantly accused of being insensitive. These same people think of American as “The Devil”. Liberal media describe Islam as “The religion of Peace”. I believe nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, every religion has its fanatics, but none like the numbers one finds with the Muslim religion. When my church starts adopting and teaching a philosophy that entails the destruction of another belief, I may just have a few problems and start looking for another church. Not sure about your church, but mine teaches love and forgiveness for everyone, including our enemies.
