Israeli PM: Islamism Taking The World Back To The Past, ‘They Are For A Dark Medievalism … With Weapons Of Death’

11/19/2013 1 comment

Netanyahu again speaks truth where others fear to tread …

Proverbs 15:7a, “The lips of the wise disperse knowledge …”

By Tova Dvorin, INN – “Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, at an Israeli-French technology conference Tuesday, contrasted Israel’s goals with those of Islamic radicals as a matter of modernity and anachronism.

Referencing the scientific studies before him, Netanyahu stated, ‘What we are seeing is the future. I think where radical Islam is trying to take us is the past.’ He elaborated, ‘We are for modernity. They are for a dark medievalism.’

‘We’re for opening up our societies for everyone – men, women, minorities, the right to be different,’ the Prime Minister continued, ‘They’re for uniform suppression of a rigid doctrine and they want to back it up with weapons of death.’

Netanyahu related those concerns to the threat of a nuclear Iran.

‘I think it would be a grave mistake to repeat the mistake that was done vis-à-vis North Korea, another closed society, doctrinaire, rigid and aggressive,’ he explained. ‘I think in the case of Iran, there is an opportunity. It would be a great mistake to capitulate before Iran when they have all reasons right now to respond to the pressures that have been put on them. Rather than surrendering to their charm offensive, it’s important that they surrender to the pressure that can be brought to them to have them abandon their nuclear program.’

The Prime Minister’s remarks follow heightened international tensions regarding a possible nuclear Iran deal, which is slated to be discussed in Geneva this Thursday, November 20.” Read more.

Flashback: Radical Islam Is, In Truth, The Normative Islam – “When will we believe the threat in the words of Mohammed? When will we believe the Muslims’ word when they proclaim their intention to kill us? When will we believe that they proclaim their intention to wipe Israel off the face of the map? When will we believe that they want to see the entire world including Europe and America, under submission to Islam and Muslim law?… Why do so many Western political leaders keep trying to tell us that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’?  Bombings, explosions and mass killings are certainly not demonstrations of peace.  Do our leaders support them or are they so afraid of them that they continually insist on ‘political correctness’ most often at the expense of Christians.  Will they insist on PC all the way to the grave?” Read more.

Islamic ‘Racism’: Muslim Blood Is Superior To Infidel Blood

11/19/2013 3 comments

Qur’an Sura 8:55, “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve [non-Muslims] …”

Qur’an Sura 3:110, “Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind …”

Qur’an Sura 3:110, “Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind …”

By Raymond Ibrahim, Frontpage Mag – “Arguing that Muslim blood is more precious than infidel blood, Muslim clerics in and out of Sudan are outraged because a Sudanese court has condemned a Muslim man to death—simply because he murdered American Diplomat John Granville on January 1, 2008.

A 2009 report offers context:

The court had sentenced the men [originally four] to death in June for killing Granville and his driver in January 2008, but the sentence was cancelled in August after [his Muslim driver] Abbas’s father forgave the men.

Under Islamic law, the victim’s family has the right to forgive the murderer, ask for compensation (fedia) or demand execution.

Granville’s mother, Jane Granville, at the time had asked for the men’s execution, but her letter was rejected because it was not notarized.

The judge said the sentence was confirmed because Granville’s family, from Buffalo, in northern New York State, had requested it.

Then, in 2010, the four men convicted of murder, in the words of the U.S. State Department, ‘escaped from a maximum security prison’ in Khartoum. One of the men, Abdul Ra’uf Abu Zaid Muhammad Hamza, was recaptured and is currently in prison awaiting execution.

Finding the punishment unjust, several international Islamic organizations, most recently, the London-based Islamic Media Observatory, have been trying to commute the death sentence, mostly by arguing for Abdul Ra’uf’s ‘human rights.’

However, the Legitimate League of Scholars and Preachers in Sudan (an influential body of Muslim clerics) issued a statement last month titled ‘Let no Muslim be killed because of an infidel’—a verbatim quote, in fact, from Islam’s prophet Muhammad—revealing the true reason why so many Muslims are trying to overturn the death sentence.

The Arabic language statement begins by asserting that ‘Allah has honored human beings over creation and multiplied the Muslim’s honor over the infidel’s, because Islam elevates and nothing is elevated above it. The value of the blood of Muslims is equal, or should be, but not so the value of the blood of others.’  (The Koran itself, e.g., 2:221, confirms this idea that even the lowliest Muslim is superior to any non-Muslim.)

Next, the statement quotes the clear words of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad, as recorded in a canonical hadith: ‘Let no Muslim be killed because of an infidel.’ It then elaborates on the meaning of this statement by quoting from ‘the consensus of Islamic scholars,’ or ijma‘, a legitimate source of Islamic jurisprudence.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “John describes the rider of the Black Horse in Revelation 6:5 as having ‘scales’ or ‘balances’ in his hands, employing the Greek word ‘zygos‘ which is also used metaphorically to refer to any sort of ‘burden’ or ‘bondage’ as well as the imposition of ‘troublesome laws’… inequality [is] rampant in the Islamic world where Muslim men are considered superior to women and all non-Muslims in general … The fruit of Islam and its laws have produced and will continue to produce the type of conditions that precipitate and perpetuate all sort of pestilences, all manner of plagues, any number of conflicts and hardships both inside and outside the Islamic world.” Read more.

Afghanistan: Devout ‘Religion Of Peace’ Followers Kill Over 800 Clerics For Promoting Peace

For peaceful purposes …

Qur’an Sura 2:216,  “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”

Qur’an Sura (4:76, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…”

By Dawood Azami, BBC – “The last decade has seen a little-reported but systematic campaign by insurgents to silence Afghan clerics who disagree with their tactics and ideology.

More than 800 religious scholars who confronted the Taliban by calling their insurgency un-Islamic and unlawful have been killed.

The most recent killing took place a week ago when prominent religious scholar Maulawi Ata Muhammad was shot dead in Kandahar. He was head of programming for local radio station, Voice of Islam.

Some targets are very high profile. Among the first to be killed in this way was, Maulawi Abdullah Fayaz, head of the Kandahar religious scholars council, in May 2005.

The Taliban – a word which actually means religious student – have accepted responsibility for a number of these killings. Indeed, many of those killed either taught or influenced the men who went on to join the Taliban – in effect these students are now murdering their teachers.

The militants describe themselves as being at the vanguard defending Afghanistan’s ‘original Islamic values’. They accuse anti-Taliban clerics of justifying ‘foreign occupation and creating discord within the Muslim community'”. Read more.

Flashback: Taliban: Mass Slaughter Of Christians At Peshawar Church OK According To Sharia Law – “Proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has once again denied having involvement in the attack on a Peshawar church last month but said it was according to Sharia. ‘We didn’t carry out the church attack. However, we believe it’s according to the Sharia,’ TTP spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid told BBC in a telephonic interview from an anonymous location on Friday. He said that there are numerous component groups of TTP but the motives of all of them are same.” Read more.

Flashback: Mosque To Church Ratio In Afghanistan: 48,000 To 0 – “Afghanistan ranks third among nations most severely opposed to the Cross. There are 48,000 mosques in the country—but not a single church building. Afghanistan’s population is 31 million, but estimates show there are less than 5,000 indigenous believers in this nation that has radical Islamic sharia law written into its constitution. Because of strong family traditions, any Muslim who comes to Christ is often in danger of an ‘honor killing’ by the family even before the government decides to pursue them, and Muslims who convert to Christ are subject to harsh imprisonment and possible execution by the authorities.” Read more.

‘This Has Shocked Us’: Little Children In Tanzania Taught How To Stab Non-Muslims To Death

All for the glory of the god of forces. Fortunately, this “school” was closed by the authorities. Unfortunately, where there is one, there are certainly many more just like it elsewhere …

Luke 17:1-2, “Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones [children] to sin.’”

By Deodatus Balile, Sabahi – “Tanzanian police broke up an al-Shabaab training operation in Tanga region, arresting 69 suspects and freeing dozens of recruits ranging from 4 to 13 years old in a security sweep carried out October 28th to November 5th.

‘This has shocked us, we have increased security in Kilindi district and we have deployed enough community police who know the place properly, and through joint operations with our police we are getting encouraging results,’ Tanga Regional Police Commander Constantine Massawe told Sabahi, confirming the number of arrests.

On the first day of the operation, police rescued 54 children and 32 women who were found at a training facility in Lwande and reunited them with their families the first week of November, according to Kilindi District Commissioner Selemani Liwowa…

Another 20 children, aged between 4 and 13 and who ‘had been completely brainwashed’ by al-Shabaab at a local mosque, were placed in a rehabilitation programme, Liwowa told Sabahi.

When police found them at Madina mosque, the youngsters possessed exercise books which contained teachings on ‘how to kill using a knife [or] a machete, how to fight aggressors with weapons and without [weapons], how to sabotage the economy and how to liberate East Africa from the hands of the kuffar [infidels],’ according to Liwowa.

Al-Shabaab had brainwashed these children to the point that they disowned their parents as not being true Muslims because they intermingled with non-Muslims, he said.

During the raid on the mosque, police also seized 12 videos containing al-Shabaab teachings on how to liberate Muslims in East Africa and the world at large, he said…

The children were handed over to social workers for a three-week rehabilitation programme, said Tanga District Commissioner Halima Dendego. If they are able, the children will be reunited with their families, she said.

‘My surprise is how these young children came in contact with these trainers,’ Dendego told Sabahi. ‘You find a four-year-old child whose parents are not known, and you wonder how they got hold of such a young child.'” Read more.

Traffickers lied to the children’s parents, saying they would take the children to Christian boarding schools in Dhaka, when in fact, they were intending to sell the children to various madrassas… This is not the first instance of Christian children being trafficked to madrassas. This year alone, 55 children have been rescued from madrassas in Dhaka… once fully brainwashed at the madrassa, were ‘destined for suicide squads’ for use in jihad.” Read more.

Obama Removes ‘God’ From Gettysburg Address

11/19/2013 17 comments

It must really irk Barack Hussein Obama that he can’t use the word “Allah” instead …

Matthew 7:16a, “You will know them by their fruits …”

By Larry O’Connor, Breitbart – “Washington DC talk show host Chris Plante reported today that Barack Obama omitted the words ‘under God’ from the Gettysburg Address when reciting the great speech for a Ken Burns documentary.

Burns had filmed all living presidents as well as various Hollywood personalities and luminaries to pay homage to the speech which was delivered by Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago, today.

Plante broke the story on Washington DC talk radio station WMAL on his mid-morning program, ‘The Chris Plante Show.’

WMAL reports:

Curiously enough, in his version of the speech, President Barack Obama’s delivery contained an omission – in a line that every other celebrity delivered as “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,” the President left out the words “under God.”

The video of Obama’s rendition of the speech can be seen below. It is unlisted (for now) on the Ken Burns YouTube page.” Source – Breitbart.

Al-Shabaab Terrorists To UK Muslims: Grab Your BBQ Knives And Start Killing Non-Muslims

The "slaves of Allah" who hide their face from all today will all be hiding from the face of God tomorrow ...

These “slaves of Allah” who hide their face from all today will all be hiding from the face of God tomorrow …

Revelation 6:15-17, “And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?'”

By Gary Young and Amardeep Bassey, Mirror – “His face is hidden but the voice spouts a hate-filled message that is becoming increasingly familiar.

The hooded Islamic fundamentalist calls out to the ‘disbelievers who dominate our lives and lands’.

It is a well-rehearsed argument that for years now has featured in jihadist propaganda the globe over.

But never before has a terror video been so directly aimed at potential recruits in Britain.

The hour-long tape was released last month by the al Qaida-linked Somali jihadi group al-Shabaab, which boasts about its British martyrs.

The masked narrator lists British towns and cities where he claims recruits have come from – and top of the list is Birmingham.

He also issues a chilling message to followers about bombs and other weapons – suggesting that if would-be terrorists cannot gain access to explosives they should improvise.

‘A simple knife from your local B&Q will do the job,’ he adds.

The subversive message is seen as so threatening that the content of much of the video cannot be reported because of legal reporting restrictions and laws forbidding the incitement of terrorism.

But the Sunday Mercury viewed the hour-long tape released last month by the group.” Read more.

American Jihadist In Syria: We’ve Come To Spread Sharia Over The Earth, And We’ll Kill Anyone In Our Way

11/18/2013 2 comments

Abu Dujana al-Amriki, an American jihadist fighting in Syria, recorded the following video vowing that he and other rebel fighters would give their lives and souls for the cause of “Allah” and his “most honorable” messenger. The Syrian army subsequently granted his death wish in Hama province …

Qur’an Sura 8:39, “And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah.”

Abu Dujana al-Amriki (the American): “In the name of Allah, the most compassionate and the most merciful… prayer and peace be upon our master, the most honorable among prophets and messengers. This is to the people of the West … We’ve come here from all nationalities to defend this land, this Islamic land, to spread the Sharia of Allah on the face of the earth and to give our lives and our souls for this jihad… We’ve come to defy all kuffar from the West … to spread the Sharia of Allah … and raise it to the highest, and we’ve come to kill anyone who comes in our way… [It] will reign high above all the parliaments and capitals of the world and with these simple weapons we’ll free these lands, and free these people, and we’ll bright the right of Islam to rule all of the entire world, over Europe and America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa. This is a promise from God, and we’ve come to fulfill it. Allahu akbar.”

South Africa: TV Journalist Disciplined After Blaming Islam For Islamic Terrorism

11/18/2013 2 comments

Islamists demand that we apologize when speaking the truth, even while they’re busy spewing lies

Qur’an Sura 9:5, “… fight and slay the Pagans [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) …”

Deen TV – “The AL JAMA-AH Political Party which has an electoral mandate from largely Muslims and a High Court order directing it to make representations on behalf Muslims with regard to the Muslim Marriages Bill will take the demand for a ban on using the terms ‘Islamic militarism’ and ‘military Islam’ in media reporting when a terrorism attack occurs further according to Party Leader Ganief Hendricks.

‘I have been asked to be the spokesman and present the case on behalf of the formal complainant Sheikh Farook Mohammed. A tribunal notice has been given for the 2 December 2013 at 10.30 at the BCCSA Boardroom in Albary Park, Magalieszicht Avenue in Dunkeld West. The SABC will be summoned and the parties will appear before the Tribunal Head Judge Bernard Ngoepe’. Said Hendricks.

The SABC has apologised on behalf of it’s journalist who blamed Islam and ‘generalised any religion when terrorism is involved’. The journalist was severely disciplined. The SABC has put a ban on referring to the religion of militants when a terrorism attack is reported and ordered that the name of the alleged organization rather be cited.

The apology was accepted but the complainant and AL JAMA-AH wants the Press ombudsman ruling overturned that if the words are banned from being used like in the TV broadcast it will be an attack on Press freedom. The complainants feel that the Press Ombudsman, Mr Retief, is with respect not carrying out his mandate. His ruling will further incite further violence as the media continues to have a free hand.

Deen TV Vice President and TV talk show Host, Faizal Sayed, added that, ‘The matter is a delicate matter but one that must be clearly defined to ensure no further related problems in the future’. He added that ‘The media is there to ensure that the authenticity of a report is delivered to the public without it being tainted with the personal notions of the reporter, especially as South African media, who hail from a county which was ravaged in a bitter oppressive past, being labelled all kinds of term without justification, and only for the world to realise later that a fair level of propagation has gone into that. So clearly something we need to steer clear of’.” Read more.

Palestinian Arabs Setting Animal Traps To ‘Catch’ Jews

11/18/2013 2 comments

Evidently they believe that if you can’t fight them, snare them …

Qur’an Sura 8:55, “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve [non-Muslims] …”

By Dalit Halevi and Tova Dvorin, INN – “Arab news media website Al-Arab Al-An reported Saturday that Palestinian Arabs near Nablus (Shekhem) are setting animal traps in their fields to ‘catch’ Jewish activists committing acts of vandalism.

Palestinian Arab media sources allege that this has become a popular tactic in ‘dealing’ with neighboring Jewish farmers. The move may be a response to so-called ‘price tag’ attacks against the Palestinian Authority in response to the rising incidents of anti-Semitism and terrorism against Israelis.

But there are concerns such tactics could be used as a pretext to harm innocent Israeli civilians and farmers in the region.

Many allegations against Jewish residents in Judea and Samaria of vandalism – especially regarding Arab-owned olive groves – have been categorically disproven over the past few years, with a photography campaign proving in 2012 that Arabs and Leftist groups have staged attacks for the cameras on numerous occasions.

Observers note that Arab and left-wing activists often prey on the ignorance of Western journalists, who are unaware that the method for harvesting olives in the region involves hacking off the trees’ branches.” Read more.

German Soccer Player Turns To Islam, Develops Urge To Wage Jihad, Dies In Syria Fighting

Qur’an Sura 4:76a, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah …”

Lost Soul: He only wanted to learn Arabic. Really.

Lost Soul: He only wanted to learn Arabic. Really.

The Local – “A former German footballer who represented his country seven times at youth level has been killed after joining Islamist rebels in Syria.

Burak Karan, 26, played in the youth teams with Germany’s current crop of stars including Sami Khedira and Kevin-Prince Boateng.

But in 2008 at the age of 20 he turned away from sport towards Islam, Focus magazine reported on Monday.

He travelled to Syria to join Islamist rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad where, his brother confirmed to Bild newspaper, he was killed by a bomb.

His 23-year-old wife and two children aged three and 10 months went with him to Syria, where they are believed still to be.

A video has appeared on YouTube portraying him as a engaged rebel soldier and claiming to be him, but his brother said that he was keen to dismiss this.

‘It is in Arabic. Burak wanted to learn to speak the language perfectly but he couldn’t,’ he told the Bild newspaper on Monday.

‘He didn’t want to fight,’ he said. Regarding pictures of Karan holding a gun he said: ‘He was only armed to protect his vehicles.’

‘Burak said to me that money and a career were not important to him,’ Mustafa said. He added that his brother would often search the internet for videos of war zones. ‘He was confused, and filled with sadness for the victims,’ he said.

The federal prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into whether Karan, from Wuppertal in North Rhine-Westphalia, was helping to support an overseas terror network.

According to website transfermarket.de Karan played five times for the national U16 side and twice for the U17 team. On Monday, the website had changed its site, with ‘career ended’ written on the 26-year-old’s profile.” Source – The Local.

Rumors Of War: Israel Said To Be Working With Saudi Arabia On Iran Strike Plan

11/16/2013 9 comments

Even though they’ll work with Israel in an attempt to neutralize an imminent Iranian threat, they’re still teaching Muslims around the world to “fight the Jews and kill them.” Saudi Arabia’s days are numbered …

Isaiah 21:1-2, “An oracle concerning the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the southland, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror. A dire vision has been shown to me: The traitor betrays, the looter takes loot. Elam, attackMedia, lay siege! I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.”

The Times of Israel – “Israel is working on coordinating plans for a possible military strike with Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh prepared to provide tactical support to Jerusalem, a British newspaper reported early Sunday.

The two countries have both united in worry that the West may come to terms with Iran, easing sanctions and allowing the Islamic Republic to continue its nuclear program.

According to the Sunday Times, Riyadh has agreed to let Israel use its airspace in a military strike on Iran and cooperate over the use of rescue helicopters, tanker planes and drones.

‘The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs,’an unnamed diplomatic source told the paper.

The report comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the midst of a blitz to lobby against a deal and cobble together an international alliance opposed to an agreement that allows Iran to continue enriching uranium.

On Sunday, Israel will welcome French president Francois Hollande, who a week earlier put the kibosh on a deal between six world powers and Iran that would ease sanctions in return for initial steps toward curbing enrichment.

Netanyahu on Friday urged France to remain firm in its pressure on Iran ahead of a new round of talks on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program in Geneva, kicking off Wednesday.

After meeting Hollande, Netanyahu will head to Moscow on Wednesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin and lobby against the deal.

Iran’s bid for the bomb ‘threatens directly the future of the Jewish state,’ Netanyahu told CNN recently, in a short preview clip of an interview broadcast on Saturday. As the prime minister of Israel, he stressed, he had to care for ‘the survival of my country.’

CNN reported that Netanyahu also said in the interview that he would do whatever it was necessary to do in order to protect Israel. The full interview will air Sunday morning.

Should a deal be reached, according to the diplomatic source, a military option would be back on the table.” Read more.
