Taliban Issues Chilling Threats Against TEN Targets in UK, U.S. and France to Avenge Bin Laden

06/28/2011 Leave a comment

“The Taliban has issued a chilling threat to carry out a series of attacks against 10 targets in Britain, American and France to avenge the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

‘Soon you will see attacks against America and Nato countries, and our first priorities in Europe will be France and Britain,’ deputy Pakistani Taliban leader Wali-ur-Rehman said in a videotape aired on Al Arabiya over the weekend.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP), or Taliban Movement of Pakistan, which swears allegiance to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, is blamed for many of the suicide bombings across the country and remains highly dangerous despite a series of army offensives against its strongholds in the north-west of the country, on the Afghan border.

It has not demonstrated an ability to stage sophisticated attacks in the West, however, and the TTP’s one apparent bid to inflict carnage in the U.S. failed.

The group claimed responsibility for the botched car bomb attack in New York’s Times Square last year.

But American intelligence agencies take it seriously. It was later added to the country’s list of foreign terrorist organisations.” Read more.

Halal, The New Stealth Jihad – Are You Eating Food Sacrificed to Idols?

06/27/2011 9 comments

Revelation 2:19-20, “‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”

By Vin Ienco – “In April 2008, FrontpageMag.com published an article by renowned author and Christian Evangelist, Dr. Peter Hammond. Dr. Hammond has created and chaired many groups concerning the plight of persecuted Christians in Africa. He has authored over a dozen books and in the course of his 3 decades of evangelizing, he has been stabbed, beaten, shot and imprisoned.

A much circulated excerpt from his book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat is an article entitled, What Islam isn’t, or more commonly known as the Islamic Saturation Index. This articlelooks at the various stages of Islamic conquest by Muslims in their host countries, dependent upon what percentage of the population they hold.

He states, ‘from 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of Halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves, along with threats for failure to comply.’” Read more.

Halal McNuggets a Hit in Detroit – “In September 2000, a McDonald’s restaurant in Dearborn, Michigan began offering a halal version of its chicken nuggets, in response to requests from area customers. Over the following year, sales of the unique item were so good that they expanded the idea to a second Dearborn location.” Read more.

A Canadian line of Campbell’s soups has activists stewing over Islamic connection – “Campbell Soup Co., the Camden, N.J., food giant, has been fighting a grass-roots boycott of its products after its Canadian subsidiary rolled out a line of soups certified as halal, meaning they’re prepared according to Islamic dietary laws.” Read more.

Fast food chain KFC converts eight London restaurants to halal-only menu – “Fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken is to launch a halal-only menu in eight of its London stores in a move which could be extended to other areas of the UK. The menu, which will form part of a trial, will see the stores selling chicken products which have been fully approved by the Halal Food Authority for the first time.” Read more.

Are you eating food sacrificed to idols? – “When you bite into a delicious pizza, succulent sandwich or luscious lamb chops, are you possibly eating food that has been sacrificed to idols? An outspoken American pastor says yes, and he’s sounding the alarm for Christians to be aware of the Islamic influence he calls ‘backdoor Shariah’ now nibbling its way across the fruited plain. At issue, says Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash., is eating food that’s ‘halal,’ in other words ‘lawful’ or ‘permitted’ for the Muslim diet. Muslims join many Jews and some Christians in avoiding the consumption of certain animals such as pigs and birds of prey, but those of the Islamic faith also have their meat blessed in the name of their god, Allah. ‘From the Christian standpoint, Allah would be an idol,’ Biltz told WND.” Read more.

Egypt’s Pro-Democracy Activists Feel Their Grip Slipping

06/27/2011 Leave a comment

Isaiah 19:4, “‘I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them,’ declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.”

By Jeffrey Fleishman – “Reporting from Cairo— Sensing the revolution that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak is slipping from their grasp, activists and opposition groups are pressuring the ruling military council to postpone Egypt’s elections in September amid fears that Islamists and members of the former regime will gain too much power.

The attempt by fledgling political parties to win more time to organize coincides with a renewed push to draft a new constitution before the parliamentary elections so that no political bloc, especially the Muslim Brotherhood, will have unchecked influence to set the laws of the land.

The pressing concern among independents and secularists is that the Brotherhood, the nation’s largest and best-organized party, may win about 25% of the seats in parliament and control even more through a coalition. This could give the organization the power to infuse the new constitution with conservative Islamic ideals to limit rights for women and non-Muslims.

‘The Brotherhood is tyrannical in its opinions and views, and I think they will take the side of the Islamist businessmen who fund it and have strict Islamic ideologies,’ said Khalid Sayed, a member of the Jan. 25 Youth Coalition. ‘Whatever constitution they might form would not fulfill the demands of Egyptians for civil rights and democracy.'” Read more.

Egyptian Shaykh: Democracy and Freedom is a ‘Bad, Backwards, and Retarded Idea’

06/27/2011 Leave a comment

“In a video clip posted to YouTube on 17 June, Egyptian Shaykh Sa’id ‘Abd-al-‘Azim explains that “democracy is a bad, backwards, and retarded idea,” which he condemns for the freedoms it contains, which includes “the freedom to disbelieve in the Creator of Heaven and Earth.” He also compared those who advocate democracy to the wicked people of Sodom. This clip was taken from an interview conducted on the Islamic satellite station al-Hafez on 4 June. Subtitled video is above, transcript is below:

Shaykh ‘Abd-al-‘Azim: I want to say that democracy is a bad idea. We should not feel ashamed to say it. It is a bad, backward, and retarded idea, which is taken from Greece. Democracy is spoken of like it’s a modern discovery, but it’s not–(interrupted)

Host: You described this beautifully in this book, saying that the people who believe in democracy are like the people of Lot, who believed in the majority. Lot’s people numbered about 100,000, while the majority was only Lot and his two daughters. Wherefore the minority was better than the majority, thus everyone who believes in this democracy–(interrupted)

Shaykh ‘Abd-al-‘Azim: That’s right. Even the freedoms–what are they? Among the freedoms inherent in the democratic system are freedom for women, freedom of ownership, freedom of homosexuality, personal freedom, freedom of conscience and expression, freedom to disbelieve in the Creator of Heaven and Earth. There’s mixing (of men and women), usury–all of this is in democracy, which is why I condemn it.” Source.

Qatari Investors: Huge Downtown Development Project in Washington DC Must Conform to Sharia Law

06/27/2011 Leave a comment

While they’re at it, maybe they ought to consider a nice Sharia-compliant piece of art nouveau in the mall’s center to appear more Western, like a beautiful fancy guillotine illuminated by the backdrop of a crescent moon.  Don’t be surprised if the next thing you hear is that pro-Israel Jews aren’t allowed.  Or pro-Zionist Christians.  Or your average every-day pro-freedom ‘kaffir‘ …

By Lydia DePillis – “The New York Times’ profile of the CityCenterDC project has mostly nothing new in it if you’ve been following the huge downtown project at all. But it does include this fascinating nugget about the requirements of its Qatari investors:

Even before the Qatari investors became involved, Hines and Archstone determined that leasing to banks would not help them create lively shopping streets, Mr. Alsup said. But as it happened, their hesitancy on bank branches meshed with the policies of their financial partners, who adhere to the restrictions of Shariah, or Islamic law, including the ban on collecting interest. Restaurants will be able to serve liquor, but retailers whose primary business involves selling alcohol will not be allowed, Mr. Alsup said.

In their marketing materials, Hines and Archstone say they intend to provide ‘an authentic place for urban residents to socialize outside their homes.’

So, no bars or banks for the biggest downtown construction project in recent memory! As Bill Alsup alluded to, banks aren’t all that great for a city streetscape, and it’s admirable that they planned to forego such a dependable and high-rent-paying tenant. It’s less advantageous, though, to not have business devoted primarily to selling alcohol. CityCenterDC is unlikely to be plagued by liquor stores, but it could definitely use a few places to be out at night drinking without getting a full dinner. Could Qatari money turn CityCenterDC into more of a black hole than the last piece of the puzzle in a living downtown?” Read more.

Iran to Hold 10-Day Military Exercise Dubbed ‘Great Prophet-6’ to Promote a ‘Message of Peace and Friendship’

06/27/2011 Leave a comment

Daniel 8:25:a, “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many …”

“TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards are to launch military exercises on Monday with the firing of different range ballistic missiles, the state news agency IRNA reported.

The exercises, codenamed Great Prophet-6, are to start on Monday, said a Guards commander, General Ami Ali Hadjizadeh, quoted by IRNA, without specifying how long the manoeuvres will last.

‘Short-, medium- and long-range missiles will be fired, especially the Khalij-Fars, Sejil, Fateh, Ghiam, and Shahab-1 and -2 missiles,’ he said.

The general, whose force carries out wargames each year in the Gulf region, said the latest exercises were ‘a message of peace and friendship to the countries of the area.’

In late May, Iran said it had equipped the Revolutionary Guards with a new surface-to-surface missile, the Qiam-1, which was built locally and test-fired last August.

Iran says it has a wide range of missiles, some capable of striking targets inside arch-foe Israel as well as US bases in the Middle East.” Read more.

A Visit to Ahmadinejad’s Nuclear Laboratory – “A recent United Nations report reinforces suspicions that Iran’s nuclear program may be serving military purposes — and that it is being infiltrated and attacked by computer viruses. During a recent visit by SPIEGEL reporters to Tehran’s contested nuclear laboratory, scientists wouldn’t comment on the developments, but the sensitivity of the issue in Iran is clear.” Read more.

For first time, Iran unveils underground missile silos – “Iran unveiled underground ballistic missile silos for the first time on Monday in a warning to the world of its ability to protect its missiles and secretly store them in hidden locations throughout the country. State TV broadcast footage of several military officers touring an underground silo that was holding a Shahab 3 ballistic missile. The Shahab 3 has a range of some 2,000 kilometers, putting Israel within its reach but is powered by liquid fuel which means that it needs to be fueled close to launch.” Read more.

It’s Official: Palestinians Will Seek UN Recognition of Statehood in September 2011 Based on Pre-1967 Borders

06/26/2011 Leave a comment

And they’re not simply seeking a state based upon 1967 borders.  They’re seeking statehood based upon ‘pre-1967’ borders.  Sounds an awful lot like they’re looking at 1948 borders cloaked in 1967 language …

Zechariah 12:2-3, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

“The Palestinian Liberation Organization late Sunday decided to take their case for statehood to the United Nations in September, making official what has been speculated about for the past year. Palestinians will ask the UN for recognition of a Palestinian state based on pre-1967 lines, membership in the United Nations and recognition of the right to self-determination in accordance with the UN charter, official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

In a meeting of the PLO Executive Committee, Committee Secretary Yasser Abed Rabbo said that the situation stems from the desire of the Palestinian people to achieve a just and comprehensive peace where the state of Palestine independently lives in peace and security with its neighbors, according to the WAFA report.

The PLO leadership called on all countries in the world, ‘without exception,’ to support its decision to seek statehood in the United Nations, which it said is aimed at resuming negotiations based on the Arab Peace Initiative, the positions of the Quartet, US President Barack Obama’s ideas and statements by the European Union.” Read more.

Egyptian Muslims Torch 8 Christian Homes on Rumor of Church Construction

06/26/2011 Leave a comment

“(AINA) — A mob of nearly 200 Muslims torched eight Christian homes on Saturday morning in the Upper Egyptian village of Awlad Khalaf. The attack was initiated by a rumor that a house which is being built by Wahib Halim Attia will be turned into a church. Two Christians and one Muslim were injured, no fatalities were reported.

Wahib Halim Attia obtained a license to build a house in the village on a 95 square meter plot. The house grew to an area of 350 square meters but was still on agricultural land that he owns. This gave rise to the rumor that he intended to build a church instead.

Father Weesa Azmy, the priest at St. George Church in the neighboring village of Negou Madam East, said that someone went to the City Council in Dar es Salam and told them about the irregularities in the house construction, and Wahib was ordered to remove the excess by June 24. ‘Instead Wahib carried on with the construction, which angered the Muslims, who decided to play God and take the law into their own hands; they attacked the construction site and other Christian homes.'” Read more.

The Face of Depravity: Taliban Uses 8-Year-Old Girl as Bomb Mule in Attack Against Afghanistan Police Post

06/26/2011 Leave a comment

Deuteronomy 12:31, “… for every abominable thing that the LORD hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.”

“KABUL (Reuters) – An eight-year-old Afghan girl was killed when a bag of explosives given to her by Taliban insurgents exploded as she approached a police outpost in southern Afghanistan, the government said Sunday.

‘The insurgents handed over a bag with a homemade bomb to an eight-year-old girl and asked her to take it to police forces,’ the Ministry of Interior said in a statement.

‘As the girl was getting close to the police, it exploded and killed the girl.’

There have been occasional cases of insurgents using female bombers — or more commonly of fighters dressing as women in head-to-toe burqa coverings — but the use of children had been almost unheard of until recently.

In May, Afghan police paraded four boys, all under 13, they said had been recruited as bombers from their homes in neighboring Pakistan. One of the boys said they had been told they would live through the suicide attacks.” Read more.

Muslim Brotherhood Figure and Former Spokesman in the West: Establish a Global Islamic State

06/25/2011 2 comments

Remember, the Muslim Brotherhood is the same group from which Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri began as activists, the same group that the US administration invited to Obama’s Cairo speech in 2009, the same group that the US administration supports a role for in a reformed Egyptian government, the same group that Obama’s National Intelligence director James Clapper called ‘a secular organization’ …

“In a June 8, 2011 interview with the Egyptian daily Al-Shorouq, Dr. Kamal Al-Helbawy, former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman in the West, called upon the Arab youth to launch a new revolution that would eliminate the borders drawn by imperialist nations and bring about the establishment of a global Islamic state – “called ‘The United States of Islam.'” According to Al-Helbawy, the Muslim Brotherhood is active in approximately 80 countries and strives to realize the dream of becoming a global organization.

Following are excerpts from the interview…

Q: What was your organizational role before you resigned?

A: I was the Muslim Brotherhood’s spokesman in the West, and a member of the office of the World General Guide [of the Brotherhood’s executive office] and of [its] World Shura Council. In that context, [the Brotherhood has] no body called ‘The International Organization.’

Such an organization is a dream for the Muslim Brotherhood, a dream that was murdered in the name of [Mubarak’s] corruption and tyranny, when he banned [Brotherhood members] from traveling and holding meetings.

Here I must ask bluntly: Why did Israel say that Mubarak is a strategic treasure? Because his crimes act as a barrier against the resistance and the Muslim Brotherhood. In this atmosphere, it was hard to manage a global organization. Today, there is great hope that we can realize [this goal], since we witnessed the opening of the Muslim Brotherhood’s new headquarters, attended by Brotherhood [activists] from all countries.

The Muslim Brotherhood is organized in 80 countries, and they and the Islamists have a right to establish a global movement, much like global socialism or Zionism…

Why Shouldn’t We Have A Country Called ‘The United States Of Islam’… I Propose That the Arab Peoples… Take To the Streets With the Slogan ‘The Arab People Wants To Remove the Borders [Between Its Countries]’

Q: Regarding the global organization – will a Muslim Brotherhood member associate himself with the [global] movement or with his homeland? And what will happen should there be a contradiction between them?”

A: There will be no contradictions. Our thinking and our affiliation are to the exalted Allah. Our affiliation is to Islam. The global state of Islam is our ideal…” Read more.

Australia: Dad Prayed His Children Would Die as Martyrs, Forced Family to Watch Videos of Executions and Suicide Bombers

06/25/2011 Leave a comment

Another example of modern-day child sacrifice.  This ‘father’ loves death so much that he will seek after it for his own children, undoubtedly believing that — according to the words of the ‘prophet’ Mohammed — the intercession of a martyr will be accepted for seventy members of their family to join them in Paradise …

Proverbs 8:33-36, “Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.  Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.  For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.  But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”

By Shelley Hadfield – “AN extremist dad living in suburban Australia prayed his children would die as martyrs before puberty so he could enter heaven honourably, a court has been told.

The man sat his daughter, who was not yet three, on his knee to watch videos of executions and suicide bombings, slapping her if she became distressed, his former wife testified.

She said he also had the little girl sing a Jihadi song accompanying the videos.

A federal magistrate accepted the man taught the little girl to ‘chant enthusiastically and joyously over the death and mutilation of other human beings’.

It was alleged the man also punched, slapped or kicked his wife if she did not watch the videos.

A Federal Magistrates’ Court judgment, published this week, has revealed the man sought access to his two children, now aged 6 and 3.

But the dad, who has been convicted of assaulting his former wife, has been denied time with the children.” Read more.

Muslim Convert Police Shot Last Week During Traffic Stop Was Armed With Large Amount of Armor-Piercing Bullets

06/25/2011 6 comments

Another one-in-a-musillion chance that a man planning ‘something’ was Muslim.  The Tacoma Police Department says that ‘the man’s intention with the gun is unknown’, but, come on, he wasn’t intending to hunt jack rabbits here through the shrubs of Washington. He, too, probably intended to make the headlines.  It also seems to have been mere chance that the police stumbled upon this recent convert to the ‘religion of peace’.  I wonder how many more lost Jihadi wannabes like Brooks Papineau are yet to be found? …

“KEY PENINSULA, Wash. — A man who was fatally shot by Tacoma police during a traffic stop early Wednesday morning pointed a gun loaded with armor-piercing bullets at the officer who stopped him and was carrying a large amount of ammunition in his truck, the Tacoma Police Department said.

Wednesday afternoon, the Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as Brooks Papineau of Gig Harbor. He died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

‘The driver exited his vehicle armed with a gun, and the officer opened fire, striking the subject,’ said Mark Fulghum of the Tacoma Police Department.

When police searched Papineau’s truck, they found a large amount of ammunition and additional ammunition magazines. They also said they found a Koran and several books on converting to Islam.” Read more.
