Nazi Salute Adopted By Terror Organizations In Palestine And Hezbollah In Lebanon

Nazi Salute Adopted By Palestinian Terrorist Organizations And Hezbollah In Lebanon

Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”

By Giulio Meotti, INN Op-Ed – “There are Nazi grafts in Arab-Islamic terrorism.

At the top of the most wanted list of the Simon Wiesenthal Center there is a man who today would be one hundred years old. His name is Alois Brunner and he is responsible for the deaths of over 130,000 Jews. The Nazi hunters still place him in Syria, where he was last seen in 2001, protected by the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

Brunner was one of the most zealous ideologues and officials of the ‘Final Solution’, the plan for the extermination of the Jews. The idea haunted him to the point that in 1985 he said to the German magazine Bunte: ‘I regret that I didn’t finish the job’.

When the United Arab Republic of Syria was formed, Dr. Brunner took up residence at 7 George Haddad, in the embassy district of Damascus. In 1961, the year that Adolf Eichmann was captured by the Israelis in Buenos Aires, Brunner received a bomb-letter, probably from the Mossad and lost an eye.

Brunner, a personal friend of Hafez el Assad, took part in the construction of Syria’s secret services on the model of the Gestapo.

In November 1967, the neo-Nazi organization Bund Heimattreuer Jugend published in Esslingen Hegensberg, West Germany, the obituary of Karl van Kynast: ‘Lieutenant (res.) of the Bundeswehr, Captain in the army of the United Arab Republic, he felt at the Suez Canal on 12 September, 1967’.

Brunner is, in fact, only the best known of a number of Nazi officials who participated in the construction of of the Islamic regimes and who died in those lands after converting to Islam.

This alliance between the Nazi swastika and the Islamic Koran is well explained in a 1942 article written by Johann von Leers, the best known of Nazi converts to Islam. Published in the newspaper ‘Die Judenfrage‘, the article presented Judaism and Islam in terms of Hegel’s thesis and antithesis: ‘The hostility of Muhammad towards the Jews had a consequence: the Oriental Jews were totally paralyzed. If the rest of the world had adopted a similar policy, we would not have the ‘Jewish question’. Islam has made an eternal service to the world by preventing the conquest of Arabia by the Jews’.” Read more.

Hamas Official: We Will Expel Or Kill All The Zionists From The Land

And as Israel’s “peace partners” will then hunt down and kill all those Jews they managed to expel. For peaceful purposes …

Hadith, Sahih Muslim, 41:6985, “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him …”

Hamas: Nazi Salute

Hamas: Nazi Salute

By Dalit Halevi & Elad Benari, INN – “A senior Hamas official declared on Thursday that his group intends to stick to its mission – ‘liberating’ all of ‘Palestine’ (meaning all of Israel).

The official, Khalil Al-Khiya, stressed that Hamas will never give up on one inch of ‘Palestine’. He made the comments during a memorial event for five Hamas terrorists who were killed by IDF soldiers in Gaza last week.

‘This way (in which the dead terrorists acted) sends a message to the Zionists, according to which they have no place in the land of Palestine,’ said Al-Khiya, who threatened, ‘We shall expel you from our land, we will fight on it against you, and we will either kill you or expel you from it after you surrender.’

Al-Khiya praised the ‘resistance’ in Judea and Samaria, calling on Palestinian Authority Arabs in the region to ‘continue the path of Jihad.’

He stressed that the jihad is the way to achieve victory. The event was attended by top officials in Hamas, including the deputy head of its political bureau and Hamas’s Prime Minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh.

The statement by Al-Khiya follows another one by a senior Hamas politician, who earlier joined the call for an ‘intifada’ terror war against Israel over Jews’ visits to the Temple Mount.” Read more.

Boston Marathon Bomber: ‘We Muslims Are One Body’

11/08/2013 5 comments

Isaiah 14:12-14, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation … I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”

The Enemy has been hard at work seeking to exalt and magnify himself as Isaiah prophesied above through the religious ideology of Islam, one that diametrically opposes everything that the Judeo-Christian faith represents and stands for. Though Satan will try to destroy the congregation that God has created, he cannot and will not prevail against God’s Ekklesia. All he can do is create his own corrupted version of God’s elect, to wage war against God’s elect, all in an effort to replace God’s elect with one that is created in his own image. Knowing that the Ekklesia of YHWH is the “Body of Christ” and is also referred to as His Bride that is filled with the glory of God”, it only stands to reason that Satan’s counterfeit of the Church — the Ummah of Islam — is the “Body of Antichrist” and referred to as the Whore of Babylon that is “full of names of blasphemy”…

One Body: Muslims make Up 25% of earth's population. “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros - green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [thērion - savage, brutal, beastial men] of the earth” (Revelation 6:8).

Reuters – “The messages that accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote on the inside walls of the boat he hid in during a police manhunt four days after the attack were intended to explain his actions should he die, his lawyers argued…

Prosecutors have argued that Tsarnaev poses both a safety risk to prison officials and that his words could inspire others to plan attacks similar to the Boston Marathon incident, where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his other brother, Tamerlan, planted a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the crowded finish line.

‘While the government may view these words as an implied ‘clarion call’ to other would-be radicals … it was law enforcement that originally leaked existence of the alleged boat writings to the press and it is the government that continues to broadcast the ‘clarion’ by repeating, emphasizing, and attributing inspirational significance to these words,’ the filing said.

A June filing by prosecutors, which charged Tsarnaev with the April 15 bombing and the murder of a university police officer three days later, provided detail on the messages the ethnic Chechen, who had lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, wrote as he hid in a boat dry-docked in Watertown, Massachusetts.

The notes also included ‘we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all’ …” Read more.

Plague And Pestilence: Outbreaks In Syria Putting Europe At Risk From Polio Say Disease Experts

11/08/2013 2 comments

Luke 21:10-11, “Then He said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven…’”

BBC – “Europe could be at risk from polio following a recent outbreak in Syria, infectious disease experts say.

In the Lancet journal, two doctors in Germany say the cases in Syria – which had been free of wild poliovirus since 1999 – could endanger nearby regions.

They say because only one in 200 people infected develops paralysis it could take a year of ‘silent transmission’ before an outbreak is detected.

In that time hundreds of individuals could be carrying the infection.

Prof Martin Eichner, of the University of Tubingen and Stefan Brockmann, of Reutlingen Regional Public Health Office explain that most European countries use inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) rather than the live oral polio vaccine (OPV), because the latter can, in rare cases, lead to cases of acute flaccid paralysis, the main symptom of polio.

Whilst IPV is highly effective at preventing polio disease, it does not give the same level of protection against the virus as the oral drops, so vaccination coverage needs to be very high. The doctors say that countries with low coverage such as Austria (83%) and Ukraine (74%) risk a sustained outbreak should the virus be introduced via refugees fleeing Syria. Polio vaccine coverage in the UK is at 95%.

The doctors said Israel could also pose a potential polio threat.

Prof Eichner told me: ‘Wild poliovirus has also been found in sewage in Israel and from samples taken from some symptom-free individuals since February 2013. Although there have been no cases of polio in Israel, tourists could risk bringing the infection to other countries.’

Dr Benjamin Neuman, a virologist at the University of Reading, said: ‘The Syrian outbreak puts Europe at risk because of the way we give vaccines. In parts of the world where it is still possible to catch a wild strain of poliovirus, children are usually vaccinated with a live but genetically weakened poliovirus which gives excellent protection but has a tiny risk of changing back to the more dangerous form.

‘However, in parts of the world where polio has been eradicated, like the UK, children are usually given a killed vaccine. It doesn’t protect quite as well but it cannot mutate, so it protects reasonably well while preventing polio from being accidentally reintroduced to a country.'” Read more.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Warns Against ‘Very, Very Bad’ Iran Nuclear Deal

11/08/2013 Leave a comment

What else could we have possibly expected from a very, very bad American President? …

Proverbs 12:15a, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes …”

Washington Free Beacon – “Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the nuclear deal with Iran being considered in Geneva is ‘very, very bad’ in a statement, pointing out Iran is not required to take apart any centrifuges but nevertheless the international community would relieve sanctions.

It would be the ‘deal of the century’ for Iran, he said.

Full statement:

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: I met Secretary Kerry right before he leaves to Geneva. I reminded him that he said that no deal is better than a bad deal, and the deal that is being discussed in Geneva right now is a bad deal. It’s a very bad deal. Iran is not required to take apart even one centrifuge, but the international community is relieving sanctions on Iran, for the first time after many years. Iran gets everything that it wanted in this stage, and it pays nothing. And this is when Iran is under severe pressure. I urge Secretary Kerry not to rush to sign, to wait, to reconsider, to get a good deal. But this is a bad deal. A very, very bad deal. It’s the deal of the century for Iran. It’s a very dangerous and bad deal for peace in the international community.

One Of The Strongest Storms Ever Recorded Heads For Philippines, Significant Loss Of Life Expected

11/07/2013 3 comments

This is worse than Katrina’s big angry brother. Please keep the Philippine people in your thoughts and prayers …

By Jethro Mullen, CNN – “Thousands of people in vulnerable areas of the Philippines are being relocated as one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever observed spins toward the country.

With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Super Typhoon Haiyan was churning across the Western Pacific toward the central Philippines.

Its wind strength makes it equivalent to an exceptionally strong Category 5 hurricane.

The storm, known as Yolanda in the Philippines, is expected to still be a super typhoon, with winds in excess of 240 kph (149 mph), when it makes landfall Friday morning in the region of Eastern Visayas.

The storm is so large in diameter that clouds from it are affecting two-thirds of the country.

Philippines braces for super typhoon

Authorities in the region had moved more than 3,800 people to evacuation centers by late Thursday, Maj. Reynaldo Balido of the Philippine Office of Civil Defense said.

Most of those relocated live in Tacloban City, which sits on the coast of the island of Leyte and has a population of more than 200,000.

In a speech Thursday, President Benigno S. Aquino III warned residents of the ‘calamity our countrymen will face in these coming days.'” Read more.

Citizens Tortured, Women’s Rights Abolished: Al-Qaeda Imposes Sharia Law On Syrian Town

11/07/2013 1 comment

Barack Hussein Obama tells the rebels that he’s got their back, even while they’re busy scarring everyone else’s …

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

This man was shown 'mercy.' Limbs and head remain.

This man was shown ‘mercy.’ Limbs and head remain.

By Ted Thornhill, Mail Online – “In the Syrian town of Raqqa, Bashar al-Assad’s hated regime has been replaced by something many regard as being even worse – an al-Qaeda-linked group that is torturing people for writing graffiti and abolishing women’s rights.

Raqqa used to be one of the most liberal towns in Syria, but chillingly, the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is using violence to impose their rule on the locals and stamp out the freedoms rebels fought for.

One man showed a TV news channel how he was left with horrific bruises and burns after jihadists beat him and tortured him with an electrical current for spraying graffiti.

This punishment for graffiti was also meted out by the Assad authorities ousted by the revolution, leaving many wondering what it’s all been for.

He told CNN: ‘Every 15 minutes, someone poured water on me, electrocuted me, kicked me, then walked out.’

He went on to describe the anguish he suffered listening to others being tortured.

He added: ‘When a person is tortured in front of you, you feel responsible. That’s the hardest. One guy still inside used to call me Dad as I taught him about democracy.’

Rebels who have voiced their opposition to ISIS have found themselves arrested and thrown in jail without trial.

The town’s women, meanwhile, have been ordered by ISIS via posters to ‘cover up their beauty’, according to CNN, and banned from seeing male doctors or even leaving home without a male relative.

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’. Not only is inequality rampant in the Islamic world where Muslim men are considered superior to women and all non-Muslims in general … a Muslim’s conduct must be based upon a strict set of Islamic laws, called the Sharia, and anyone failing to follow ‘Allah’s’ burdensome edicts must suffer draconian punishments, non-Musims included.” Read more.

Syria: Bodies Of Christian Family Discovered In A Well, Including 90-Year-Old Grandmother

11/07/2013 1 comment

The beasts of the earth forever thirst for Christian blood …

Qur’an Sura 58:20, “Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be among those most humiliated.”

Zechariah 5:3a, 8a, ”… This is the curse [אָלָה – alah] that goes out over the face of the whole earth … This is Wickedness …”

By Joop Koopman, AINA – “Inhabitants of Sadad, near Homs, who fled the largely Syrian Orthodox town when rebels attacked last month, are now returning home to discover the scale of atrocities in what is being seen as the worst act of anti-Christian persecution since the war in Syria began.

The reports, sent by Church leaders to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, describe how, in this ancient Christian town mentioned in the Bible (Ezekiel), vulnerable people unable to escape — including the elderly, disabled, women and children — were subjected to torture, such as strangulation. Church sources say 30 bodies were found in two separate mass graves.

Discovered dead in a well in Sadad were the remains of six members of one family including Matanios El Sheikh, 85, his wife, Habsah, 75, their daughter, Njala, 45, and grandsons Ranim, aged 18, a first-year university student, and his 16-year-old brother Fadi, in class XI at school.

Reports state they were thrown down a well on 26th October along with the boys’ paternal grandmother, 90-year-old Mariam. Their funerals, which took place yesterday (Monday Nov. 4), came as a community, whose town dates back to 2000BC, begins to grieve the loss of those being described as ‘martyrs’ by Church leaders.

The atrocities took place during a week-long occupation of Sadad by the Al-Nusra Front and Daash, rebel forces who, according to Church leaders, held 1,500 families as ‘human shields’ in a bid to stop Government troops retaking the village.

The tragedy in Sadad began Oct. 21 when rebel forces invaded the town and carried out what Syrian Orthodox Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh, Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Homs and Hama, called the ‘most serious and biggest massacre of Christians’ since the conflict began in Syria in March 2011, the Fides news agency reported.

At least 2,500 families fled with no more than the clothes they were wearing to cities like Homs, 37 miles away, and further afield to Damascus, Al-Fhayle, Maskane, Fayrouza, Zzaydal and elsewhere.

Some who escaped travelled five miles by foot to find shelter.Those unable to flee Sadad were quickly rounded up by the rebels …” Read more.

Report: Saudi Arabia Orders Nuke From Pakistan, ‘They Already Paid For The Bomb’

The Harlot fears the Beast. While the Saudis seek weapons from a nuclear-capable ally due to the threat of Iranian terror, Iran has a nuclear-capable ally of its own

Recommended: Walid Shoebat: Iran Will Obtain Nuclear Weapons, Will Destroy Saudi Arabia

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, attack! Media, lay siege! I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.”

BBC – “Saudi Arabia has invested in Pakistani nuclear weapons projects, and believes it could obtain atomic bombs at will, a variety of sources have told BBC Newsnight.

While the kingdom’s quest has often been set in the context of countering Iran’s atomic programme, it is now possible that the Saudis might be able to deploy such devices more quickly than the Islamic republic.

Earlier this year, a senior Nato decision maker told me that he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery.

Last month Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, told a conference in Sweden that if Iran got the bomb, ‘the Saudis will not wait one month. They already paid for the bomb, they will go to Pakistan and bring what they need to bring.’

Since 2009, when King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia warned visiting US special envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross that if Iran crossed the threshold, ‘we will get nuclear weapons’, the kingdom has sent the Americans numerous signals of its intentions.

Gary Samore, until March 2013 President Barack Obama’s counter-proliferation adviser, has told Newsnight:

‘I do think that the Saudis believe that they have some understanding with Pakistan that, in extremis, they would have claim to acquire nuclear weapons from Pakistan.'” Read more.

They will always look upon their adopted countries as enemy sites to be either reformed or destroyed.

Stars Falling: Bright Lights In The Sky Reported Across Central And Southern California

11/07/2013 3 comments

By Robert J. Lopez, Los Angeles Times – “The flashes and bright lights that were reported across Central and Southern California on Wednesday night likely were long-lasting meteor streams known as the South Taurids, according to the National Weather Service.

The Taurids are known for having exceptionally bright meteors. On Wednesday night, people used Twitter to describe what resembled a meteor shower, bright lights or fireballs in the sky.

Mary Slosson said she driving eastbound on the 10 Freeway when saw a ‘flareup’ that ‘looked like something burning up upon entry into atmosphere’ over the Culver City area.

The flash of light caused drivers to hit their brakes and swerve to catch a glimpse, Slosson said.

Another person in Hollywood said he saw what appeared to be a ‘pretty substantial fireball in the sky.’

In northern San Diego County, a woman said she saw the ‘sky light up super bright.’

And in Fresno, a woman said she ‘saw something that looked like a huge shooting star falling.'” Source – Los Angeles Times.

Scientists: Wait Till Next Week, You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet – “Scientists predicted a meteor shower that occurs every year about this time. But they also say we haven’t seen anything yet. So-called Taurid meteor showers, which seem to come from the direction of the constellation Taurus, will reach their peak this year on Nov. 16 through the early morning of Nov. 17.

Suspected Muslim Bombs Car Belonging To Swedish Politician Critical Of Islam

11/06/2013 1 comment

Being a critic of Islam in “Eurabia” is starting to hurt more than just your pocket book. Devout Muslims, no matter how long they’ve studied Islam, know that they will never win the war of words. Apparently their “prophet” understood that as well …

Qur’an Sura 9:5a, “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) …”

By Nicolai Sennels, Islam verses Europe – “Sverigedemokraterna (The Sweden Democrats) is known for being critical against Islam and Muslim immigration:

‘Tuesday night a Swedish politician from Sverigedemokraterna discovered a small explosive device on his car, and he called the police when it detonated around three o’clock.

Police believe the motive may be that the man is a member of the party that is ideologically aligned with the Danish People’s Party.

‘- It was a small explosive charge, and it damaged the steel and glass. He is a member of the party and we believe that this may be the reason,’ says Mats Gloss Berg from Uddevalle police to Aftonbladet.

On Sunday night another person associated with Sverigedemokraterna was subjected to a criminal threat.

‘- Somebody broke a window and wrote something on his two cars, and put letter in the mailbox,’ says Mats Gloss Berg.'” Source – Islam verses Europe.

Somalia: Islamist Group Bans Television As Harmful To Islam, Owners ‘Will Be Accused Of Being An Infidel’

11/06/2013 1 comment

We already knew that music was inherently evil according to the enlightened teachings of the “prophet” of Islam, thus it only makes sense that televisions are inherently evil, too. So sell the old records, auction off those dusty 8-tracks and cassettes, put your collection of CDs on eBay, and trade in your movies & TVs for some cold hard cash to stock up on items that are blessed and holy in Islam, things like guns and grenades and nails and pressure cookers. You know, anything that can be used to maim and kill all who disagree …

Qur’an Sura 8:59-60, “And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allah ]. And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.

By Dahir Jibril, Sabahi Online – “Using loudspeakers mounted on vehicles, al-Shabaab banned the people of Barawe from watching television, saying it harms their Islamic principles, and ordered them to turn in their televisions and satellite dishes to al-Shabaab officials.

The militants announced the ban October 28th and gave residents five days to hand over their equipment to the Barawe municipal office, said Mursal Yarisow, a 54-year-old traditional elder in Barawe.

‘I was really surprised when I heard about this ugly order that is forbidding us from watching TV while we are in our own homes,’ he told Sabahi. ‘The only channels my family and I watch are the Somali channels, such as Universal TV, Horn Cable TV and Somali Channel TV, so that we can stay informed on global news.’

‘I am not sure where al-Shabaab has seen or watched these other channels that they say are harmful to the religion,’ he said.

The ban is a pretext for preventing people from staying informed about news and current affairs via Somalia’s independent television stations, Yarisow said.

‘I and other [elders] like me are adults who understand what these men are targeting with the television ban,’ he said. ‘They want people to stay ignorant of the hatred Somalis and the world have against al-Shabaab, and they want the residents of Barawe to be people whose ears and eyes are covered.’

The ban came just weeks after a raid by US Navy SEALs in Barawe targeted al-Shabaab commander Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir, who goes by the alias Ikrima, who was believed to be living at a local beach house.

Al-Shabaab reportedly implemented a similar television ban in the Lower Shabelle town of Bulomarer last month.

‘Al-Shabaab is engaged in the biggest crime in the world, which is to kill people without cause or label them as non-Muslims. They treat people as though they are converting them to Islam,’ Yarisow said. ‘I am deeply saddened that they come to people who are Muslims and question their belief in Islam.’ …

Liban Abdirahman, 34, who owns a shop in Barawe that sells lamps and assorted items, said he complied with the al-Shabaab ban and took his TV and satellite dish to the municipal office as ordered.

‘We are civilians and we are not armed so we are forced to adhere to any unreasonable demand from al-Shabaab, because anyone who disobeys the order and fails to take the TV equipment to the station will be accused of being an infidel who is disobeying the orders of Islam,’ he said.

What al-Shabaab is doing is nothing short of oppression, Abdirahman told Sabahi.” Read more.
