MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Good article. Please read in full …

By Bob Taylor, The Washington Times – “On November 7, 2012, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch debated Boston College philosopher, Dr. Peter Kreeft, on the topic Is the Only Good Muslim a Bad Muslim? The title alone was thought provoking using the premise that in the eyes of a Westerner a ‘good’ Muslim is considered a ‘bad’ Muslim from the point of view of an Islamic extremist.

In daily conversations and media so-called ‘good’ Muslims are typically labeled as ‘moderates’ today.

The debate was moderated by John Zmirak who later wrote a story for Crisis Magazine with his observations about the evening’s event. A full transcript of the conversation can be found at the end of Spencer’s book Not Peace but a Sword: The Great Chasm between Christianity & Islam.

Among the most fascinating aspects of the dialogue was the context of the word ‘ignorance’ which has distinctly different meanings for both sides of the argument. Many observers, be they educated analysts or average Arab citizens on the street, emphasize that much of what drives Islamic extremism is ignorance that is frequently combined with poverty and a submissive mentality.

The word ‘Islam’ itself means ‘submission’ which translates to signify blind obedience, even if it results in death.

Spencer uses a more philosophical approach to his description but his meaning is the same when he writes, ‘In his absolute and unfettered sovereignty, Allah had doomed the Islamic world to over a millennium of intellectual stagnation and anti-intellectualism. A recurring idea in the Islamic world is that the Qur’an and Sunnah contain all that is needed for the proper functioning of human society, and everything else is either superfluous or heretical.’

That paragraph speaks volumes about the irreconcilable differences between the Arab world and the West for more than 1,400 years.

An article by Hadi Yahmad, chief editor of the Tunisian daily newspaper Al-Haqaiq, expressed a similar view on September 11 when he wrote, ‘We must acknowledge without shame that we in the Arab and Islamic region have become a breeding ground for terrorists… due to (our) cultural and ideological backwardness.’

Yahmed continues to chastise the Arab-Islamic mindset by saying it fails to recognize its own weaknesses while blaming others for all that is culturally wrong in Arabic society.  ‘(How) many of us have never asked themselves (sic) why these horrors, massacres, and cold-blooded murders take place on our lands?! Must we always lay the blame on others, so that we can (continue) to deny (reality), to forget (it) and to wreak vengeance?!…’

It is here that the debate takes on new meaning and the word ‘ignorance’ changes context. Spencer’s analysis of ‘ignorance’ as defined by Western media provides powerful insights as to why it is so difficult to negotiate with the Islamic world.” Read more.

The name of the Fourth Horsemen is death, and this is one of the many reasons why …

Romans 8:5-8, “… those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

Saudi Cleric Muhammad Ali Shanqiti: “Every Muslim man gets at least two black-eyed virgins in Paradise. Each virgin comes with 70 servant girls. You are permitted (to have sex) with the virgins as well as the servant girls. For every women from this world who enters Paradise, you get 70 black-eyed virgins…. there are the women of this world who enter Paradise. Each one comes with 70 black-eyed virgins. The second type of woman in Paradise is the black-eyed virgin. Each comes with 70 servant girls… If you get married in this world then (in Paradise) you get your wife from this world, along with 70 black-eyed virgins with whom you are allowed to have sex, and each of these 70 virgins comes with 70 servant girls. So how many women do you get? That’s the minimum. Now, let’s assume that you are married to four wives, each of whom comes with 70 black-eyed virgins, and each virgin comes with 70 servant girls… How many does it come to? God help you… Your reunion (with your wife) lasts for 70 earthly years. When the 70 years are about to come to an end, another back-eyed virgin calls to you from above: ‘Oh servant of Allah, don’t we get a piece of you?’ You turn to her, and you see that she is more beautiful than the woman you are with. You ask her: ‘Who are you?’ and she says: ‘I’m your virgin in Paradise. Allah told you about me, saying There is more of them with Us. I am one of the more.’  You leave that one and move on to the next. God help you… You spend 70 years or so with her, and along comes the third …”

The Rotana Café where the brutal killing took place is known as a hookah lounge and is located a few blocks from the Madinah Masjid mosque. Hookah lounges are often owned and operated by Muslims and include Middle Eastern cuisine and Islamic decor and, for many, are regarded as a novel and chic way to socialize and “embrace multiculturalism.” Unfortunately, someone was there that night who decided to embrace something else entirely …

Qur’an Sura 48:29a, “Mohammed is [Allah’s] apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers …”

By Tanya Mok, National Post – “An off-duty firefighter has died after being stabbed in the head ‘without provocation’ several times at a Danforth café early Saturday morning, Toronto police said.

Dominic Parker, 45, died from his wounds in hospital after he was attacked at 1:18 a.m. at Rotana Café in the Danforth and Coxwell Avenues area. Mr. Parker was taken to St. Michael’s Hospital around 2 a.m., and died from severe head wounds shortly after midnight Sunday. Police have charged a 23-year-old man with first-degree murder.

‘The family is completely devastated to have their husband and father completely ripped out of their lives so violently and so fast,’ said Jay Michaels, the media representative of Mr. Parker’s family.

Mr. Parker had been married for 23 years to his high school sweetheart and has two daughters, 18 and 19, both of whom are in their first year at Concordia University in Montreal.

Aside from being a firefighter in Markham, Mr. Parker also worked as a freelance set designer and had just finished shooting a Christmas commercial Friday night around 8 p.m., said Mr. Michaels. He and two friends from the production crew decided to have a couple of beers at a nearby bar and after several hours they parted ways. Mr. Parker went to pick up his bike, which he had parked on Danforth Avenue.

He decided to stop by Rotana Café first, where he knows the owner. It was while sitting on a couch sipping tea that Mr. Parker was stabbed repeatedly in the head by a stranger.

‘Police are calling it a completely random act of violence,’ Mr. Michaels said.

It’s unclear how many times Mr. Parker was stabbed but his most serious injury was a knife wound that went through the back of his head and through his brain, Mr. Michaels said.

Doctors surgically removed part of Mr. Parker’s skull to relieve some pressure but his wounds proved too grave.

The Copenhagen Post – “Danish-Iranian artist Firoozeh Bazrafkan was handed a 5,000 kroner [US$905] fine on Monday when the Western High Court found her guilty of racism.

She was charged by Aarhus Police of violating anti-racism legislation, section 266 b of the penal code, after publishing a blog entry in Jyllands-Posten newspaper in December 2011, in which she stated:

“I am very convinced that Muslim men around the world rape, abuse and kill their daughters. This is, according to my understanding as a Danish-Iranian, due to a defective and inhumane culture – if you can even call it a culture at all. But you can say, I think, that it is a defective and inhumane religion whose textbook, the Koran, is more immoral, deplorable and crazy than manuals of the two other global religions combined.”

Bazrafkan had appropriated the text from an article published by free speech activist Lars Pedersen, who had also been charged and convicted of racism after publishing it on the online newspaper 180grader.dk

An artist with a critical focus on Iran’s Islamic regime and religion in general, Bazrafkan argues in an interview with The Copenhagen Post that Danish anti-racism legislation should not apply to the critique of religion.

What is your reaction following the High Court’s ruling?

I’m not sorry for writing the blog in the newspaper but I am disappointed and angry because I should have the right to write and say what I want. My blog in Jyllands-Posten newspaper didn’t threaten anyone, it was a criticism of Islamic codes.” Read more.

Lies and deceptions are exposed when truth is spoken, so we shouldn’t be surprised when Islamist groups, even in America, blow a gasket every time it is articulated …

Qur’an Sura 24:35, “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth… Allah doth guide whom He will to His light…”

2 Corinthians 11:14-15, “… for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”

Qur’an Sura 3:54: Allah is the Greatest of Deceivers

By Robert Spencer, Frontpage Mag – “On September 11, 2013, a public information officer for Palm Beach County, Florida named John Jamason posted a message on his personal Facebook page: ‘Never forget. There is no such thing as radical Islam. All Islam is radical. There may be Muslims who don’t practice their religion, much like others. The Quran is a book that preaches hate.’

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) immediately complained, and demanded that the county turn over to them everything that Jamason had written from a county computer over the previous month. County Administrator Bob Weisman assured CAIR that Jamason had not written the offending Facebook message from a county computer, and stated that county officials were determining whether or not to discipline him.

Left unexamined in the controversy was whether or not what Jamason said was true. In light of the Qur’an’s teachings about jihad and the subjugation of non-Muslims, he certainly had a case that ‘there is no such thing as radical Islam’ and ‘all Islam is radical,’ for there is no mainstream sect of Islam or school of Islamic jurisprudence that does not teach that the Muslim community must wage war against unbelievers and subjugate them under its rule.

Jamason was also correct that ‘there may be Muslims who don’t practice their religion, much like others.’ Indeed, there are many people who identify themselves as Muslims who have no interest in waging jihad against unbelievers, but would prefer to hold down their jobs and take care of their families in peace in the same way as there are millions of people who identify themselves as believers in other religions who are not particularly concerned with living out every teaching of the religion with which they identify.

But what CAIR was most outraged about was not that, of course, but Jamason’s contention that the Qur’an teaches hate. They did not, however, provide any evidence showing that it doesn’t.

So does it?

Where ever there is death and mayhem, devout “Religion of Peace” Islamists are always hoping that it was committed by one of their own …

Isaiah 48:22, “‘There is no peace,’ says the LORD, ‘for the wicked.’”

SITE – “After the shootings at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., on September 16, 2013, jihadists expressed their joy and their hope that the attack came in response to the recent speech by Ayman al-Zawahiri in which the al-Qaeda leader called for strikes in America.

Users on the top-tier jihadi forums Shumukh al-Islam and al-Fida’ wrote, for example, ‘O blessings, your prayer O Sheikh Ayman [has been answered]… Here are the lone-wolves working from within the headquarters of the Marines,’ and ‘Allah willing, this is a response to the speech of Sheikh al-Zawahiri’. Recalling the November 2009 Fort Hood shooting by Nidal Hasan, one jihadist remarked: ‘In the Ummah [Muslim community] there are a thousand Nidals, Allah permitting’.

Zawahiri said in the speech released on September 12, 2013, for the twelfth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks: ‘And keeping America in tension and anticipation only costs a few disparate attacks here and there, meaning as we defeated it in the gang warfare in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan, so we should follow it with that war on its own land. These disparate strikes can be done by one brother or a few of the brothers. and with these strikes, we must monitor and lie in wait and seize any opportunity to land a large strike on it, even if it takes years of patience for this.’

Following is a translation of a sampling of the message postings:

{Al-Fida’}

[Al-Battar Al-Lubnani]

Allahu Akbar [Allah is Great].

In the Ummah there are a thousand Nidals, Allah permitting.

[Terrorist67]

Allahu Akbar.

Allah willing, this is a response to the speech of Sheikh al-Zawahiri.

[Shami Murabit]

To hell and what a fate.
