For peaceful purposes. Via the Kenyan Post …

Hadith, Saheeh Muslim 2889, “Verily Allah has shown me the eastern and western part of the earth, and I saw the authority of my Ummah (Islamic nation) dominate all that I saw.”

Sufyan Al-Muhajir, Mombasa, Kenya: “We praise Allah for enabling us to perform this great act of worship which is the peak of Islam … everything has reached its limit and it’s now time for us to retaliate [against the kuffar] … do not forget that we are everywhere and we have already planned on the best ways of retaliation and you will soon witness the return of our Islamic Caliphate… Our Caliphate will only return by the sword and there is no other way and we will implement the Shari’ah of Allah …” Listen to what Satan sounds like when he speaks in the video below.

Qur’an Sura 18:26, “[Allah] maketh none to share in his government.”

Flashback: Muslim Group: ‘Christianity Should Be Destroyed And Wiped From The Face Of The Earth’, It Is ‘Evil’ and ‘Demonic’ – “A Muslim group has released its plan to ‘wipe Christianity from the face of the earth,’ Islamize the West and establish an Islamic system of world government – placing those who resist ‘under a police state.’… ‘Islamic Power has returned upon the face of the earth and the Revived Global Caliphate has set eyes on the West to once and for all rid the world of Christianity and there is nothing you can do about it,’ al-Mohammedi said. He makes his objective clear.” Read more.

America Fiddles While Christians Are Being Slaughtered

05/08/2014 1 comment

How are Western governments supposed to stand up for persecuted Christians while acquiescing to the very religion whose sole purpose is to destroy them? …

Qur’an Sura 9:29-30, “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book … the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”

By Michael Brown, WND – “Have you heard about the disgraced NBA owner Donald Sterling? Yes? Perhaps even his mistress, V. Stiviano? Yes again?

Well, let’s check on world events.

Have you heard about the crisis in Ukraine? The sunken ferry in South Korea? The missing airplane in Malaysia? Yes to all? You’re doing great!

Let’s try some more. Can you tell me about the slaughter of Christians in Egypt? No? How about in Iraq and Syria? Oh, you didn’t know that Christians were being killed there?

Perhaps you can tell me how many Christians have been killed in Sudan in the last two decades? Not really? Not even sure where Sudan is on the map?

Then let’s try this. Have you heard of Boko Haram? Perhaps?

Maybe you’ve heard that strange-sounding name recently in conjunction with nearly 300 girls being kidnapped somewhere in Africa? Does that ring a bell?

Sadly, while America obsesses over the Donald Sterling scandal (which is certainly a scandal), and while we follow with interest the events in Ukraine (could Putin really be a Hitler in the making?), and while our hearts rightly break over the terrible loss of life in South Korea and the apparent (and also terrible) loss of life in the Malaysian Airlines mystery, we are all but oblivious to the suffering of Christians worldwide.

Sadder still is the inaction of our government when it comes to this Christian suffering.

Here is a sampling of recent, Christian suffering, just at the hands of violent Muslims:

* In Syria, Christians have been beheaded, crucified and killed in other horrific ways for refusing to convert to Islam. They are targeted by both Sunni and Shiite Muslims in the civil war there.

* According to an April 18, 2014, report, ‘Young Christian women [in Egypt] are facing a greater risk of being kidnapped by extremists, tortured, and even forced to convert to Islam since the Arab Spring ended in 2011. … It has been estimated by the ICC [International Christian Concern] and other watchdog groups in the region that there have been Read more…

Newspaper: What Do Polio And Missing Schoolgirls Have In Common? Islamic Terrorism.

05/08/2014 Leave a comment

So much for Mohammed and his teachings being “a blessing for mankind” …

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

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

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

By Margaret Wente, The Globe and Mail – “In Nigeria, more than 270 schoolgirls are kidnapped and enslaved by an obscure militant group called Boko Haram. A few days later, the World Health Organization warns that polio is making a comeback, and declares a global public health emergency.

The link between these two calamities is Islamist terrorism. Far from being eradicated, this deadly disease is as virulent as ever. It strikes hardest at women, teenaged girls and children. And the world seems powerless to stop it.

‘I abducted your girls,’ Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau taunts in a chilling new video. ‘There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell.’ The goal of Boko Haram (which means ‘Western learning is sinful’ or ‘forbidden’) is to create a radical Islamic state in Nigeria. This is not the first time the group has attacked schoolchildren. It specializes in burning them alive.

Meantime, the highly contagious polio virus is radiating out of Pakistan and showing up in Afghanistan and Syria. In an interview with the CBC this week, a World Health Organization official delicately blamed ‘the suspension of the vaccine in one area,’ as if Pakistani health officials had committed some sort of careless lapse. This sort of airbrushing ignores the real cause, which is the systematic war the Taliban is waging against female health workers. Since July, 2012, at least 31 polio vaccination workers have been killed and many others have quit in fear of their and their families’ lives.

The Taliban insist that vaccination workers are really Western spies who are sterilizing Muslim children. They say the killings are in retaliation for U.S. drone strikes, and point out that the United States once used a local vaccination team in an effort to gather intelligence about Osama bin Laden. This is true, but the Taliban’s war against polio vaccination began years ago. It is part of a larger attack on any behaviour that violates the movement’s bizarre idea of Islam – including work by women outside the home, schooling for girls and family planning (believed to be another Western conspiracy to wipe out Muslims).

In rural Pakistan, community health care is largely delivered by trained women, who are known as Lady Health Workers (LHWs). This means the war on women has had a devastating impact on public health.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “Because of ‘Sharia lawlessness’ the ‘Religion of Peace’ is typified by widespread destruction and disparity … In Sudan, for example, slavery is explicitly permitted and tens of thousands of Christians are held in bondage, taken as slaves and face starvation because of Sharia laws … In Somalia, Islamist militants deprive 1.3 million people of food, clean water and health care after banning humanitarian aid … Islamists are killing aid workers in Pakistan for trying to save lives with ‘un-Islamic’ polio vaccines… As Islamists engage in an all-out war to oust Bashar Al-Assad and implement an Islamist state in Syria, a flesh-eating parasite dubbed the ‘Aleppo Boil‘ sweeps across the country … 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.

Calgary Man Turned Islamic Terrorist: Jihad Is Becoming ‘As Canadian As Maple Syrup’

05/08/2014 1 comment

A better comparison would have been the deadly, artery-clogging bacon poutine …

By Stewart Bell, National Post – “A Canadian foreign fighter in Syria taunted the ‘evil, despotic and Zionist Harper government’ on Wednesday, claiming it was losing the battle against extremism and that fighting jihad was becoming ‘as Canadian as maple syrup.’

In a blog post, Abu Dujana al-Muhajir, part of a small circle of Calgary youths who left for Syria to join armed extremist groups, said ‘so-called radical Islamists’ were gaining in popularity and the number of Canadian jihadists was growing.

He denounced leading Canadian Muslims opposed to extremist violence, naming writer Irshad Manji and imams Muhammad Robert Heft and Syed Soharwardy, calling them ‘deviant’ and saying they were outnumbered by militants.

‘Know very well that for every single sellouts [sic] like Tarek Fatah or Mubin Shaikh, we are gaining hundreds of brave Damian Clairmont and Andre Poulin from amongst you who are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Allah,’ he wrote.

Mr. Clairmont, who lived on social assistance in Calgary, and Mr. Poulin, who had brushes with the law in Timmins, Ont., were troubled youths who converted to Islam, became radicalized and died soon after arriving in Syria.

Quoting pro-Al-Qaeda ideologue Anwar Al Awlaki saying that jihad was becoming as American as apple pie and as British as afternoon tea, Abu Dujana wrote it was ‘high time that we add to his statement ‘and as Canadian as maple syrup.’’

Responding to the blog post, Mr. Fatah called Abu Dujana an ‘Islamist promoter of a death cult’ but said he agreed with him that those who subscribed to his extremist views should depart Canada to die for their cause.

‘I say hallelujah,’ said the author and columnist. ‘I urge all Canadian Islamists to follow the footsteps of this jihadi and leave Canada, permanently by burning their passports on arrival in Syria, Somalia, Pakistan or Afghanistan or whatever jihadi hellhole they wish to live in, but leave us alone and stop being the parasites that you are, eating away at Canada like termites.'” Read more.

Flashback: Syrian Islamists Promise To ‘Destroy’ Canada After Fighting In The Middle East – “The most extreme armed faction in Syria has threatened to ‘destroy’ Canada, as Western governments are struggling to deal with radicalized citizens infatuated with Al-Qaeda ideology. Speaking in flawless English, a member of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant said in an online video that after fighting in the Middle East, the group would turn on North America. ‘This is a message to Canada and all the American tyrants: We are coming and we will destroy you …” Read more.

Flashback: Canada: Islamic Charity Classified As Terrorist Group, Aided Hamas Terrorists For Years – “Many Islamic charities in the United States and around the world have been shut down for funding terrorism, including what was once the largest Islamic charity in the United States, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), as well as the Global Relief Foundation (GRF), the Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), and many others. This is because the charitable giving required of Muslims, zakat, can be given to fund jihad, a meritorious activity according to Islamic law.” Read more.

Flashback: Canada: Islamic Terrorists Planned To Kill As Many As Possible, ‘It Was Meant To Be Spectacular And There Would Have Been A Lot Of Carnage’ – “These noble warriors of Islam hoped to sow even more death and destruction than they have already sown. Meanwhile, Muslim communities in the U.S. and Canada say they condemn such jihad activities, yet have nary a single program to teach against this understanding of Islam that they ostensibly reject and abhor. Authorities don’t seem to mind, and after jihad attacks or jihad plots like this one rush to prevent a never-appearing ‘backlash’ rather than call these Muslim communities to account. And so we will see many more such jihad plots.” Read more.

John Kerry Advisor On Islam: Progressives Have Allowed Themselves To Be Silenced By Frightened Self-Censorship And The Stifling Of Debate

05/08/2014 Leave a comment

Daniel 7:7, “… and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet …”

After publication of his book titled “The Losing Battle With Islam” in 2005, British author and historian David Selbourne was asked by John Kerry to write a briefing paper on the Islamist threat. In the article below he explains what he told the Secretary of State and lays out a deluge of present-day disasters, all of which have been spurred by the violent jihadist teachings of Islam’s “prophet” Mohammed. Though the examples he gives are many, they are but a drop in the ocean of Islam’s 1400-year reign of terror.

The Biblical prophets said this would happen. And indeed it has — and still is. Fortunately, they also tell us that the Islamic horrors we are witnessing right now will all one Day come to an immediate, and eternal, end …

Daniel 7:21-22, 27, “I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom… And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom …”

dominateworld2cBy David Selbourne, New Statesman – “A beheading in Woolwich, a suicide bomb in Beijing, a blown-up marathon in Boston, a shooting in the head of a young Pakistani girl seeking education, a destroyed shopping mall in Nairobi – and so it continues, in the name of Islam, from south London to Timbuktu. It is time to take stock, especially on the left, since these things are part of the world’s daily round.

Leave aside the parrot-cry of ‘Islamophobia’ for a moment. I will return to it. Leave aside, too, the pretences that it is all beyond comprehension. ‘Progressives’ might ask instead: what do Kabul, Karachi, Kashmir, Kunming and a Kansas airport have in common? Is it that they all begin with ‘K’? Yes. But all of them have been sites of recent Islamist or, in the case of Kansas, of wannabe-Islamist, attacks; at Wichita Airport planned by a Muslim convert ready to blow himself up, and others, ‘in support of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’. ‘We cannot stop lone wolves,’ a British counterterrorism expert told us after Woolwich. Are they ‘lone’? Of course not.

A gas facility in southern Algeria, a hospital in Yemen, an Egyptian police convoy in the Sinai – it’s complex all right – a New Year’s party in the southern Philippines, a railway station in the Caucasus, a bus terminal in Nigeria’s capital, and on and on, have all been hit by jihadis, with hostages taken, suicide belts detonated, cars and trucks exploded, and bodies blown to bits. And Flight MH370? Perhaps. In other places – in Red Square and Times Square, in Jakarta and New Delhi, in Amman and who-knows-where in Britain – attacks have been thwarted. But in 2013 some 18 countries got it in the neck (so to speak) from Islam’s holy warriors.

There are battlefields and battlefields in this conflict. Some are theatres of actual or potential civil war, most often when Sunnis and Shias are at each other’s throats on behalf, respectively, of Saudi Arabia and Iran. Other battlefields are in failed or failing Muslim states, others again where the ‘infidel’ has unwisely intruded upon and assaulted Muslim lands. At the same time, weapons and warriors are in constant movement in Islam’s cause across dis­solving national boundaries, many of them of western colonialism’s creation. And in India, with its 175 million Muslims, their mujahedin will be in action soon enough if Hindu nationalists come to power this month.

Jihadist groups, from Pakistan to the Philippines, also fight each other. But for the most part they are consolidating and expanding – often as affiliates of al-Qaeda – in the Arabian Peninsula, in the Maghreb, in Somalia and Kenya, in Iraq and Syria, in Gaza, in Bangladesh and in south-east Asia. There are separatist or secessionist Islamic insurgencies, too, from Russia’s Caucasus to north-west China, in southern Thailand, in Burma, in northern Nigeria and in divided Kashmir.

Warriors for Islam, believing that they are under ‘infidel’ threat, today range an increasingly frontier-less world. That’s ‘globalisation’ too. A car-bombing in New York – which failed – was planned by a Pakistani-American trained in a tribal area of northern Waziristan. Many would-be warriors from western countries learned their skills from Taliban instructors, going on to fight in Iraq as they now fight in Syria. There, ubiquitous “Bearers of the Sword” and “Defenders of the Faith” from Britain and France, Saudi Arabia and Morocco, Indonesia and Kazakhstan, and even Uighurs from Chinese Xinjiang, are to be found armed to the teeth in the battle against Assad while being trained for future combat in their countries of origin.

In the Islamist merry-go-round, jihadis from Libya – after the country’s collapse – went on to Syria, Tunisian holy warriors crossed into Mali, Egyptian and Canadian Muslim fighters were among the attackers on the refinery in Algeria, and Somalis from Minnesota have returned home to join al-Shabab, the al-Qaeda affiliate that carried out the Kenyan mall attack. Ugandan Islamists are in eastern Congo, and a Malaysian army captain was linked to two of the 9/11 hijackers. Beat this? No.

It is not ‘Islamophobia’ that registers these facts. Instead, there is an objective historical need, and duty, to record radical Islam’s many-sided and determined advance upon the ‘infidel’ world.” Read more.

And these beasts shot dead all who tried to flee the burning flames. For peaceful purposes …

Qur’an: Sura 4:89, “Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.”

By Michelle Faul, Associated Press – “Islamic militants killed hundreds of people in an attack on a border town in Nigeria’s remote northeast, a state government official said Thursday.

Shops and homes were set ablaze and razed in the attack Monday night on Gamboru Ngala, on Nigeria’s border with Cameroon, Borno state information commissioner Mohammed Bulama told The Associated Press by telephone.

He said the fatality ‘figures are high — hundreds — but we are still awaiting details from the military authorities.’

As many as 300 people were killed in the attack, according to local newspapers. The militants sprayed gunfire into the crowds of people at a busy market that is open at night when temperatures cool in the semi-desert region, reported ThisDay newspaper.

Nigerian federal Senator Ahmed Zannah said the attack lasted about 12 hours, according to the newspaper. The insurgents set homes on fire and gunned down residents who tried to escape from the flames, reported the paper.

UK: Muslim Husband Murders Wife For Being Fed Up With His Abusive, Controlling Behavior

05/07/2014 1 comment

In Islam, a man can divorce his wife by simply saying “I divorce you” three times. A woman, however, has absolutely no right under Islam to seek a divorce from her husband. This woman sought a divorce, and it cost her her life. A word of advice to all women: Never enter into a relationship with someone who is culturally conditioned to abuse, imprison, and even kill the “inferior” sex …

Qur’an Sura 4:34a, “Men have authority over women because [Allah] has made the one superior to the other …”

By Sam Webb, Mail Online – “Police officers are under investigation after a man who was arrested for threatening to kill his pregnant wife was released and went on to murder her two weeks later.

Mohammed Badiuzzaman, 34, pleaded guilty to murdering mother-of-three Sabeen Thandi at the Old Bailey yesterday.

Police said he had become enraged after discovering she had entered into another relationship. It is not known who the father of her unborn child is.

Badiuzzaman, of Forest Gate, east London, forced his 37-year-old wife to wear a hijab after pressuring her into an Islamic marriage.

He forbade her from going out on her own even when she had to travel to work as a doctor’s receptionist.

The security guard even tried to sell her home by visiting an estate agents and pretending he owned the property.

The couple had started dating in November 2012 and Badiuzzaman moved in with Ms Thandi two months later.

But she became fed up with his controlling behaviour and visited a solicitors in Watford in June because she wanted a divorce.

Ms Thandi was terrified of her abusive husband and feared for her and her children’s safety.

On June 17 Watford County Court made a non-molestation order against Badiuzzaman banning him from entering his wife’s home.

But two days later he forced her to drive to her lawyer’s office to have the order revoked.

He threatened that if she did not do as he said she would ‘never see her son again’.

Ms Thandi’s solicitors phoned the police and Badiuzzaman was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and unlawful imprisonment, but he was later released.

Police went to the house in Forest Gate in the early hours of July 7 last year after receiving a silent 999 call.

Badiuzzaman answered the door and told officers his wife was still at work, but when they searched the property they found her lifeless body under a duvet in the bedroom.” Read more.

US Muslim Prof Says Boko Haram Violates Qur’an — But Ignores Sex-Slavery Verses

05/07/2014 2 comments

Muslim apologists in the West will often obfuscate the teachings of Islam in an effort to sanitize it for an otherwise uninformed, non-Muslim audience. Unfortunately for these apologists, no amount of scrubbing can ever remove the blood that decorates the fabric of Mohammed’s dirty laundry …

Qur’an Sura 9:111a, “[Allah] hath purchased of the believers [Muslims] their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain …”

Revelation 9:21, “And they did not repent of their murders … or their sexual immorality …”

Qur’an Sura 33:50a, “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war…”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “Arsalan Iftikhar is ‘an international human rights lawyer, founder of TheMuslimGuy.com and adjunct professor of religious studies at DePaul University in Chicago.’ He is also the former National Legal Director of the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Here he offers a reassuring piece claiming that Boko Haram, that is, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, are misunderstanding Islam and misinterpreting the Qur’an, which, he says, categorically rejects ‘kidnapping young girls and threatening to sell them into sexual slavery.’ He offers two verses to support this idea: one that says that ‘oppression is worse than murder’ (2:191) and another declaring that nobody ‘shall force girls to commit prostitution’ (24:33).

Neither of these, unfortunately, are precisely on point. ‘Oppression’ is in the eye of the beholder; Abubakar Shekau thinks he is following the Qur’an’s dictates, and that that couldn’t possibly constitute oppression, no matter what. And these girls aren’t being forced into prostitution; they’re being sold off, as Iftikhar himself says in this very piece, into forced marriages with Boko Haram members.

Iftikhar doesn’t even mention the verses that Muslims like Abubakar Shekau point to in order to justify kidnapping young girls and selling them into sexual slavery:

If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you will not be partial. (Qur’an 4:3)

And:

And also prohibited to you are all married women except those your right hands possess. (Qur’an 4:24)

The mainstream Muslim commentary Tafsir al-Jalalayn explains that 4:3 tells Muslims to ‘marry only one, or, restrict yourself to what your right hands own, of slavegirls, since these do not have the same rights as wives.’ The twentieth-century Qur’an commentator Maulana Bulandshahri explains the wisdom of this practice, and longs for the good old days:

During Jihad (religion war), many men and women become war captives. The Amirul Mu’minin [leader of the believers, or caliph — an office now vacant] has the choice of distributing them amongst the Mujahidin [warriors of jihad], in which event they will become the property of these Mujahidin. This enslavement is the penalty for disbelief (kufr).

He goes on to explain that this is not ancient history:

None of the injunctions pertaining to slavery have been abrogated in the Shari’ah. The reason that the Muslims of today do not have slaves is because they do not engage in Jihad (religion war). Their wars are fought by the instruction of the disbelievers (kuffar) and are halted by the same felons. The Muslim [sic] have been shackled by such treaties of the disbelievers (kuffar) whereby they cannot enslave anyone in the event of a war. Muslims have been denied a great boon whereby every home could have had a slave. May Allah grant the Muslims the ability to escape the tentacles of the enemy, remain steadfast upon the Din (religion) and engage in Jihad (religion war) according to the injunctions of Shari’ah. Amen!

This is by no means an eccentric or unorthodox view in Islam. The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that Read more…

The Coming King And His Kingdom: Our Anchor Of Hope

05/06/2014 1 comment

“Even those that are in Heaven now, that’s not our ultimate hope and our ultimate destiny. They are awaiting the resurrection of the body… He didn’t just come to save our souls… He came to redeem our flesh.” Joel Richardson shares a message of the Age to come at Immanuel’s Church in Silver Spring, MD this past weekend. Enjoy …

Titus 1:2, 2:13, 3:7, “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began … Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ… That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

1 Corinthians 15:52-55, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

US Aid Indirectly Helps Hamas Terror Organization Due To PA Unity Deal

05/06/2014 1 comment

This touches upon a comment I made earlier regarding the unity deal between Hamas and the PA. If supporting Hamas is to support Islamic terror, what does that now make all those who support the Palestinian Authority after a Hamas-PA unity deal? Regardless, the fact of the matter is that the PA always has and always will support violent jihad and the destruction of the Jewish State, along with the extermination of every last Jewish man, woman and child who remains in Israel. If Western governments supporting the PA (not to mention Syrian “rebels”) doesn’t already constitute state sponsorship of terrorism, then what will? …

Egyptians: Obama Supporting Muslim Brotherhood Is Supporting Terrorism

Egyptians Get It

By Paul Alster, FoxNews – “The Palestinian Authority’s announcement that it will send 3,000 police officers to Gaza as part of a unity agreement with Hamas could mean U.S. taxpayers are now at least indirectly helping an officially designated terror organization maintain law and order — and its grip on power.

The police deployment came as part of a deal between the mainly secular government of the West Bank and the radical Islamist regime of Hamas that rules in Gaza. That agreement effectively ended hopes for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process championed by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, but it also raises questions about U.S. foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority going forward. Since the U.S. subsidizes the PA budget to the tune of approximately $400 million per year, any effort to help Hamas indirectly spends U.S. dollars, say observers in Israel. That could be prohibited by U.S. policy, if it is read as part of a power-sharing agreement.

‘No aid is permitted for a power-sharing PA government that includes Hamas as a member, or that results from an agreement with Hamas and over which Hamas exercises ‘undue influence,’ unless the President certifies that the PA government, including all ministers, has accepted the following two principles… (1) Recognition of ‘the Jewish state of Israel’s right to exist’ and (2) acceptance of previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements,’ Jim Zanotti, a specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs, wrote in a report last September for the Congressional Research Service titled ‘U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians.’

Those conditions have been met by the PA [ICA Edit: The Palestinian Authority has not met these conditions. PA President Abbas refuses to accept Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, and “will never” recognize it as such], but Hamas, under whose control Gaza has continued to be a launching pad for cross-border missile attacks into Israel and a safe haven for Islamic Jihad and even Al Qaeda, steadfastly refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and is reportedly pressuring the PA to cease security co-operation with Israel in the West Bank. Zanotti’s report, however, highlights a clause that might leave wiggle room for the PA to avoid losing U.S. support.” Read more.

“They Started Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar,’ And We Knew”: Nigerian Islamists Kidnap More Girls, Between Ages Of 12 And 15

05/06/2014 2 comments

For purposes that are anything but peaceful. The leader of Boko Haram is now claiming that “Allah” has commanded him to sell all of the abducted girls into sex slavery. Wretched beasts like these make my blood boil …

Qur’an Sura 4:24a, “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you…”

Qur’an Sura 33:50a, “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war…”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “‘They started shouting, ‘Allahu akbar,’ and we knew.’ They knew because the jihadis were shouting ‘Allahu akbar’? Ibrahim Hooper, call your office! These abducted schoolgirls clearly need some sensitivity training, so that they understand that ‘Allahu akbar’ is a cry of peace and tolerance. Surely through your channels, Ibe, you can find out where these girls are being held, and send over Ahmed Rehab or some similarly sensitive lug, so as to teach these captive girls not to be so ‘Islamophobic.’

‘Nigeria militants kidnap more girls from village,’ Telegraph, May 6, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have kidnapped eight girls aged between 12 and 15 from a village near one of their strongholds in northeast Nigeria.

“They were many, and all of them carried guns,” said Lazarus Musa, a resident of Warabe, where the attack happened.

“They came in two vehicles painted in army colour. They started shooting in our village.”

A police source said the girls were taken away in the early hours of Tuesday on trucks, along with looted livestock and food. The Islamist rebels are still holding 276 girls they abducted from a secondary school on April 14.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video released on Monday that Allah had told him to sell the girls taken by his fighters from a secondary school in the village of Chibok, in northeastern Borno state.

The abduction on Tuesday appears to bear similarities to the mass-kidnapping on Good Friday.

In the Chibok attack, as with the Warabe seizure, the militants arrived disguised as soldiers.

“Don’t worry, we’re soldiers,” one 16-year-old girl told AP she remembered them saying. “Nothing is going to happen to you.”

The gunmen commanded the hundreds of students at the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School to gather outside. The men went into a storeroom and removed all the food. Then they set fire to the room.

“They started shouting, ‘Allahu Akhbar,’ (God is great),” the 16-year-old student said. “And we knew.”

A local government official, Bana Lawal, received a warning call on his mobile phone, and was told that about 200 heavily armed militants in 20 pickup trucks and more than 30 motorcycles were headed toward his town.

He roused sleeping residents and told them to flee into the bush and the nearby hills.

But two hours later, when the Boko Haram militants arrived, the local forces were unable to fight them off and the extremists headed for the boarding school.

The men set the school ablaze and herded the girl’s group onto the backs of three pickup trucks.

The trucks drove through three villages, but then the car of fighters following them broke down. That’s when the 16-year-old girl and her friend jumped out, and managed to escape by running into the forest.

Britain and the US has offered help in finding the girls, but the Nigerian government has been criticised by the pace of rescue efforts.

It was not clear whether the eight girls taken on Tuesday were being held with the other 276.

Christians Crucified To Death In Syria For Refusing To Convert To Islam And Worship “Allah”

05/06/2014 4 comments

They said they would crucify Christians who refused to worship “Allah.” And they have. They said they would behead Christians who refused to worship “Allah.” And they have. When they say they will “spread the Sharia of Allah on the face of the earth” and will “kill anyone who comes in our way” they will seek to do that, too …

Revelation 13:15, “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.”

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

By Raymond Ibrahim, FrontPage Mag – “To the awe of its readership, a recent Daily Mail article reports that the ‘jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and Levant [ISIL],’ which is currently entrenched in Raqqa, Syria, ‘publicly crucified two Syrian rebels in northeastern Syria in revenge for a grenade attack on members of their group.’

While the Daily Mail is to be commended for exposing these barbaric acts — along with posting photos of the crucified — it nonetheless minimized their significance, in two important ways: 1) by repeatedly saying things like ‘even al-Qaeda is distancing itself from ISIL,’ and so implying that the act of crucifixion is some wild aberration that even the poster-child of jihadi terror, al-Qaeda, wants nothing to do with it; and 2) ignoring the much ‘sexier’ story that Christians in Syria are also being crucified simply for refusing to embrace Islam (as opposed to the rather mundane but politically more correct story of Islamic jihadis crucifying each other in the context of vendetta killings).

Consider the atrocities earlier committed in Ma‘loula, Syria, an ancient Christian village where the inhabitants still spoke Aramaic, the language of Christ.

According to recent Arabic news media, ‘a Syrian nun testified to the Vatican news agency that some Christians in Ma‘loula were crucified for refusing to convert to Islam or pay jizya’ (tribute subjugated Christians are required to pay to their Islamic conquerors in order to exist as Christians, per Koran 9:29).

Incidentally, they were crucified by the al-Qaeda linked Nasra Front (so much for Daily Mail’s portrayal of al-Qaeda ‘distancing’ itself from the apparently ‘extra-extremist’ ISIL for crucifying its victims).

Sister Raghad, the former head of the Patriarchate School in Damascus who currently resides in France, told Vatican Radio how she personally witnessed jihadi rebels terrorize Ma‘loula, including by pressuring Christians to proclaim the shehada — Islam’s credo that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger — which, when uttered before Muslim witnesses transforms the speaker into a Muslim, with the death penalty for apostasy should the convert later ‘renege’ by returning to Christianity.

According to the nun, those Christians who refused to embrace Islam were

killed in atrocious and violent ways that cannot be described. If you want examples, they crucified two youths in Ma‘loula for refusing to proclaim Islam’s credo, saying to them: “Perhaps you want to die like your teacher [Christ] whom you believe in? You have two choices: either proclaim the shehada or else be crucified. One of them was crucified before his father, whom they also killed.”

In fact, according to earlier media reports from October 2013, soon after Ma‘loula fell to the jihadis, one ‘shaky voiced’ elderly Christian man had reported that he …” Read more.

Hadith, Sahih Muslim 1:33a, “The Messenger of Allah [Mohammed] said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish [Islamic] prayer …” (The Shahada)

Flashback: Syrian Rebels’ Other Ultimatum To Christians: ‘Convert To Islam Or You Will Be Crucified’ – “Christians make up about 10 percent of Syria’s 23 million people… Youssef Naame and his wife Norma, an elderly Christian couple from Maaloula, described how bearded extremist Islamists stormed the northeastern village early last month chanting ‘God is Great!’ ‘The jihadis shouted: Convert to Islam, or you will be crucified like Jesus,’ Youssef said with a shaky voice in his daughter’s al-Qassaa apartment.” Read more.

Flashback: Syria: Rebels Attack Christian Homes, Churches, Many Feared Dead, ‘Convert To Islam Or You Will Be Beheaded’ – “A Maaloula resident said the rebels, many of them sporting beards and shouting [Allahu akbar], attacked Christian homes and churches shortly after moving into the village overnight… Now, Maaloula ‘is a ghost town. Where is President Obama to see what befallen on us?’ asked the man… Another resident, a Christian man, said he saw militants forcing some Christian residents to convert to Islam. ‘I saw the militants grabbing five villagers Wednesday and threatening them (saying): `Either you convert to Islam, or you will be beheaded,’ he said.” Read more.
