“JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A volcano in central Indonesia has erupted in clouds of smoke and searing gas that shot up nearly 20,000 feet (six kilometers) into the air.

State volcanologist Surono, who uses only one name, says no one was injured when Mount Soputan, located on Sulawesi island, exploded early Sunday.

The nearest villages are well outside the danger zone and there are no immediate evacuation plans.

Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago, is located on the so-called Pacific ‘Ring of Fire,’ an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.” Read more.

07/03/2011 Leave a comment

By Gerard Walsh – “EQUINE Veterinarians Australia president and local vet Dr Chris Reardon has urged horse owners to be vigilant in the wake of three outbreaks of the Hendra virus in the past week.

The outbreaks have been at Beaudesert, Boonah and near Lismore.

In recent years, seven people have contracted the virus, of whom four have died – including two vets.

Dr Reardon warned no one should expect the virus to spread like equine influenza (EI).

‘It is not spread by air or wind like EI,’ he said.

‘It is always a concern when one of my colleagues is involved in a case. We need to know more about how it is transmitted to humans.'” Read more.

Adobe Book Editor Positive: Obama Certificate is Phony

06/30/2011 Leave a comment

“NEW YORK – A nationally recognized computer expert who has served as contributing author and technical editor for more than 100 books on Adobe and Microsoft software says the Obama long-form birth-certificate image released by the White House is a fraudulent document created with Adobe software.

‘The PDF file released by the White House contains evidence of manipulation suggesting that one or more forgers utilized existing Hawaiian birth certificates to assemble fraudulently for Barack Obama a document the president presented to the world as authentic,’ Mara Zebest told WND.

Zebest has prepared a full analysis of the image that was presented April 27 by Barack Obama to the world as a copy of his original birth documentation in the state of Hawaii.

The image released online is a copy of Obama’s copy of the original, as are the paper copies that were handed out to reporters.

Zebest’s analysis begins by documenting inconsistencies in the pixels and bitmap text that display throughout the Obama file, for instance, in the birth certificate number 10641, as seen in Exhibit 1:” Read more.

Bible or Qur’an – What is the Difference?

06/30/2011 Leave a comment

Good video which looks at both the Bible and the Qur’an from an interesting perspective.  What I would add to it is this question:  Why should I, or any other Christian, give up a faith which I know guarantees me eternal life for another faith which tells me that I could never really know?

U.S. to Resume Formal Muslim Brotherhood Contacts

06/30/2011 Leave a comment

America won’t negotiate with terrorists, except for the ones calling for a global Islamic state, except for the ones looking to end the peace treaty between Egypt and her Jewish neighbors to the north, except for the ones that gave birth to al Qaeda and condemns the killing of Bin Laden, except for the twin brother’ of Hamas whose own charter calls for the destruction of Israel and all Jews, except for the ones who support Iran and its nuclear ambitions, except for the ones that even defend Hitler and promotes nuclear terrorism.  The naiveté of the US administration under President Barack Obama is truly astounding …

By Arshad Mohammed – “(Reuters) – The United States has decided to resume formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday, in a step that reflects the Islamist group’s growing political weight but that is almost certain to upset Israel and its U.S. backers.

‘The political landscape in Egypt has changed, and is changing,’ said the senior official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. ‘It is in our interests to engage with all of the parties that are competing for parliament or the presidency.’

The official sought to portray the shift as a subtle evolution rather than a dramatic change in Washington’s stance toward the Brotherhood, a group founded in 1928 that seeks to promote its conservative vision of Islam in society.” Read more.

‘Moderate’ Muslim Brotherhood Spiritual Guide Defends Hitler and Nuclear Terror – “… Imam Yusuf al-Qaradawi, spiritual guide to the Muslim Brotherhood, has called on Muslims to acquire nuclear weapons ‘to terrorize their enemies.’ He also boycotted an interfaith meeting with Jews on grounds he believes they support murdering Muslims in Palestine, and he additionally said Muslims are permitted to kill Israeli women because they serve in the army.” Read more.



Saudi Arabia: Riyadh Will Build Nuclear Weapons if Iran Gets Them, Saudi Prince Warns

06/29/2011 1 comment

Ah, Saudi Arabia, the birthplace and spiritual homestead of Islam.  You’ve spread Wahhabism and a radical Islamic ideology throughout the earth and the beast you’ve nurtured and ridden throughout the centuries will soon bite the hand that fed it.  I’m sure that Iran knows your desire for the Weapon of Weapons, too, and — unlike the West and its dealings with Iran — once the world awakens suddenly to an Iran with nuclear weapons the Ayatollahs and their allies will not give your desert Kingdom enough time to even entertain the idea of building your own nukes, or to contemplate your next move.  In your game of chess a checkmate is coming …

Revelation 17:1-3, 5, 7, 16-17, “One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, ‘Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.’ Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns… This title was written on her forehead: Mystery Babylon the Great The Mother of Prostitutes And of the Abominations of the Earth… Then the angel said to me: ‘Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns… The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled …”

By Jason Burke – “A senior Saudi Arabian diplomat and member of the ruling royal family has raised the spectre of nuclear conflict in the Middle East if Iran comes close to developing a nuclear weapon.

Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former Saudi intelligence chief and ambassador to Washington, warned senior Nato military officials that the existence of such a device ‘would compel Saudi Arabia … to pursue policies which could lead to untold and possibly dramatic consequences’.

He did not state explicitly what these policies would be, but a senior official in Riyadh who is close to the prince said yesterday his message was clear.

‘We cannot live in a situation where Iran has nuclear weapons and we don’t. It’s as simple as that,’ the official said. ‘If Iran develops a nuclear weapon, that will be unacceptable to us and we will have to follow suit.'” Read more.

Toronto: Islamic Ritual Prayers Conducted at PUBLIC School, Imam Brought In to Lead Children in Worship of Allah

06/29/2011 8 comments

More Sharia creep, this time in Canadian public schools.  Contact the Valley Park Middle School in Toronto as well as your public officials and demand that this and all publicly funded schools placating to Islam cease and desist immediately.  School Phone #: 416-396-2465, Email: ValleyPark@tdsb.on.ca.  Call your local newspapers and/or television stations and let your opposition be heard.

BCF – “Islamic ritual prayers are done in my 13 year old daughter’s middle school on every Friday.

Every Friday my daughter’s school cafeteria changes into a mosque as dozens of Muslim boys and their imams (Islamic preachers) lead Islamic ritual prayers and no one else can even walk through the cafeteria.

Some imams (Islamic preachers) come from the outside of the school and lead Muslim students in the Islamic prayer and this happens at the school Cafeteria after the lunch on Fridays. All other non-Muslims are in classes in the afternoon when they are using the cafeteria as mosque. There is a mosque nearby but the Muslim kids pray in the school

School administration take part preparing the Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday.

And there are a number of other incidents involving Islam and other anti-Christian issues that I complained about, including a white convert to Islam who was a supply teacher and who openly promoted Islam and bashed Christianity last year!” Read more.

Update July 6, 2011: Hindus protest Muslim prayers at public school – “Hindus from across Toronto plan to protest outside a North York middle school until a controversial Friday prayer session for 400 Muslim students is stopped.

The Canadian Hindu Advocacy is one of a number of Toronto-area groups who are opposed to the 30- to 40-minute services that occurred in the cafeteria of Valley Park Middle School on Overlea Blvd. from November to March.

An imam from a local mosque is brought to school to head the service, officials said. During the service male students are made to sit in front of the girls.

‘This is alarming and unacceptable,’ said Advocacy director Ron Banerjee. ‘We respect the separation of church and state.’

He said his group will be sending letters of protest to the Toronto District School Board in the next few days and calling for an end of the noon-time services. That will be followed by protests in November, when the services resume, if the prayers are to continue next school year.

‘There’s not supposed to be any religious classes taking place in public schools,’ Banerjee said. ‘We will be asking the board to stop the practice.'” Read more.

Shaykh Muhammad Hassan: Islam Prefers Strong and Immoral Warriors Instead of Weak and Righteous Wimps

06/29/2011 Leave a comment

Isaiah 5:20a, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness …”

“If there are two men, and one of them is stronger spiritually, while the other is stronger physically, (the latter) is more beneficial to that nation. In war, for example, the strong man offers his courage, even if he is immoral or licentious. The weak man (only) offers his impotence, even if he is faithful.

Listen to the response of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), for the Shaykh of Islam (i.e. Ibn Taymiyya) based his ruling on this fatwa from his Shaykh, the Shaykh for the Sunnis, Imam Ahmad. Imam Ahmad was asked about two men, who were leaders in a raid. One of them was a strong, immoral man. The other was a weak, righteous man. With which one would he go into battle? Imam Ahmad said: ‘As for the strong, immoral man, his strength benefits the Muslims, while his immorality only hurts himself. But as for the weak, righteous man, his righteousness only benefits himself, while his weakness hurts the Muslims.’ Thus the Imam said he would go to battle with the strong, immoral man. I hope this answer is clear. The Prophet (peace be upon him), said the same thing in the two Sahihs (Muslim and al-Bukhari), ‘Allah will support this religion through an immoral man.'” Source.

Report: Assad Unable to Stop Syrian Protests; Regime Collapse Likely

06/29/2011 Leave a comment

“In a report, titled ‘Assad Reform Pledge Will Not Ease Pressure On Regime,’ Oxford Analytica said the Assad regime was unable to control the revolt which has already worsened Syria’s relations with neighboring Iraq, Israel, Lebanon and Turkey.

‘The protests and violence have become endemic and will eventually contribute to regime collapse,’ the report, released on June 20, said.

The report said the unrest has become more violent while opposition groups were working together. Oxford said Assad’s promises of reform and a national dialogue would fail to hamper the opposition.

‘His vague promises are unlikely to have much traction outside the regime’s core support base,’ the report said. ‘The unrest in Syria is intensifying, spreading and becoming more violent.'” Read more.

Doctor: Fukushima Fallout Will Result in Millions of Baby Deaths and New Cancer Victims, We Have Created a ‘Valley of Death’

06/29/2011 8 comments

By Deborah Dupre – “Sunday, the prestigious Doctor Mark Sircus released a new report concurring with a host of scientists and other doctors giving evidence that people of Japan and United States have been subjected to dangerous levels of radiation since Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns, and also subjected to a tight cover-up by authorities and media, the result of which will be millions of baby deaths and new cancer victims. Japanese and American children are already suffering with symptoms that appear to be the first signs of Radiation Sickness.

‘Finally, three months later, we are getting some numbers on what the real dangers are. And finally we can begin to understand the enormous cover-up of the nuclear doom that is reaching lungs all over the west coast of America, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and at least half of Japan!’ stated Dr. Mark Sircus.

Dr. Sircus Ac., OMD, is director of International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA) http://www.imva.info/. He was trained in acupuncture and oriental medicine at Institute of Traditional Medicine in Sante Fe, N.M., and at the School of Traditional Medicine of New England in Boston. He served at the Central Public Hospital of Pochutla in Mexico, and was awarded the title of doctor of oriental medicine for his work including one of the first nationally certified acupuncturists in the U.S. Dr. Sircus’s IMVA is dedicated to unifying various disciplines in medicine with the goal of creating a new dawn in healthcare.

‘For infants, it’s a terrible valley of death we have created for them.’ says Dr. Sircus. ‘As we shall see for years, all of them have been born with already polluted bloodstreams and now, the very young ones are dying in greater numbers on the west coast of the United States since Fukushima blew up.'” Read more.
