Seven Years of Calm

No Terrorists Attacks In the United States! Why?

• On October 12, 2002, in Bali, Indonesia, Al-Qaeda’s Jemaah Islamiyah terrorists targeted packed nightspots, killing 202 people, including more than 160 foreigners. There are even more nightclubs in the United States, why didn’t al-Qaeda target us here?
• On March 11, 2004, in Madrid, Spain, 191 people were killed and more than 1,800 injured in a series of explosions on four trains. al-Qaeda took responsibility for that accomplishment to avenge the presence of Spanish troops in Iraq. But why didn’t the terrorists bomb American trains on American soil? We had even more troops in Iraq than did the Spanish.
• On the morning of Wednesday September 1, 2004, in Beslan, Russia, Muslim terrorists and Arab mercenaries wearing explosive belts stormed a school taking 1,200 parents, students, children, and infants hostage. They wired a room with explosives and threatened to blow up the school during a three-day standoff. The children were refused food and water and were held in stifling heat in a gymnasium while the world waited. As Russian forces were collecting corpses from the initial raid outside the school, the militants in the school triggered the explosives inside the school. As the surviving hostages attempted to flee, the terrorists shot them and their rescuers in their backs. At least 326 people — 156 of them children — were murdered at that school and more than 700 wounded. Although 26 of the terrorists were killed, several escaped. Why did not these terrorists take over an American school on American soil? We have lots of schools here.
• On July 11, 2006, in Mumbai, India, seven high-powered blasts on suburban trains killed more than 200 commuters and injured at least 800. America has commuter trains too, why did not al-Qaeda target American trains with bombs?
• On November 26 of this year, again in Mumbai, India, Islamist gunmen launched attacks against luxury hotels. Gunmen from al-Qaeda’s Deccan Mujahedeen group claimed responsibility for the attacks, which killed more than 100. A rabbi, Gavriel Hertzberg, and his pregnant wife were sought out and murdered as were other Jews and Americans. America has many luxury hotels, many Jews and many, many more Americans. Why did al-Qaeda spare hotels and tourists in America’s homeland?

Could these “Seven Years of Calm in America” have had anything to do with the leadership of America’s Commander in Chief, George W. Bush, his administration and the fighting men and women of his military?

Fear of Freedom

It was the “Fear of Freedom” which begot the murder yesterday of a woman freedom fighter, Benazir Bhutto. She was a Muslim woman, a Muslim mother who, because she believed in freedom, was martyred in her own native Muslim land of Pakistan by her fellow Muslim brothers.

Where religions, creeds, nations and lands espouse “Fear of Freedom”, truth becomes an unknown commodity. All truth is from God; freedom is God’s gift to all of mankind. Those who teach “Fear of Freedom” to their people are enemies of the true God. Yesterday’s tragic murder of a woman for her belief in freedom is one more example of the “Fear of Freedom’s” tyranny of the human mind, its debasement of the human soul and its degradation of human life on earth.

Thank God for the man named Jesus who preached freedom. Jesus taught HIS followers to seek freedom, not to fear it, and hence influenced HIS civilized world to carry freedom’s torch: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John Chapter 8).

Bhutto Assassination Sparks Chaos (WaPo)

A Woman Dies for Freedom

“I’m standing up for the principle of democracy. I’m standing up for moderation. And I’m standing up for hope for all the people in Pakistan who today are poor and miserable and really quite desperate..” ~~ Benazir Bhutto, CNN Interview of 28 September 2007.

In 1775, Patrick Henry delared “Give me Liberty or Give me Death,” at Saint John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia. That declaration set the course for revolution and independence for Americans. It was the cry that has reverberated in the hearts of mankind ever since. Many freedom lovers around the world have met death in their quest for liberty for themselves and others.

Today it was the American educated woman freedom fighter, Benazir Bhutto, who was martyred in freedom’s name in her own native land of Pakistan. Today, it was a Muslim woman, Benazir Bhutto, murdered in a Muslim land, by her fellow male Muslims. BBC News.

The CAIR Bears Are Here

Although in the United States of America, a teddy bear may only be named “Teddy” in honor of our illustrious former President Teddy Roosevelt (see “Teddy Bear Lessons”), in Muslim countries a teddy bear may be called by whatsoever name one chooses, as long as said chosen name is NOT “Mohammad.”

“The CAIR Bears are Here.”

They go by many names, all “legal”, as there is not a Mohammad in the bunch. Look for them at your local CAIRMart or BombsRUs toy store. They are:

• the “dressed to kill” Jihad Bear;
• the full burka clad female Sharia Bear;
• the “Evil Zionist” Likud Bear; 
• the Allah Ack-Bear which includes a self destruct button that explodes taking its owner with it;
• the Scare Bear;
• the Ayatollah Bear – greatly exalted for his issuing of death-fatwas upon infidels;
• the “headless” Infidel Bear;
• the detachable headed Kaffir Bear;
• the orange suited Club Gitmo Bear; 
• the Assassin Bear which comes with a real sword;
• the Shiite Bear and the Baby Shiite Bear with its own “Mohammad” Piggy Bank;
• the Bare Mullah;  
• the Imam Hamza Bear with one eye and one arm; and
• the Prayer Bear that comes with a prayer rug and a compass.

There is absolutely nothing soft and cuddly, nor fuzzy-wuzzy about these CAIR Bears. They are grizzly bears, with sharp teeth and claws and bodies stuffed with IEDs. They are all ready to self destruct and take you along with them, “kinda” like their own “Religion of Peace.”

WARNING: Do not give these CAIR Bears as Christmas or Hanukkah gifts. One person has already suffered for doing so. She purchased the Prayer Bear and then placed him upon his prayer rug, which she mistook for a magic carpet. She commanded him to fly around the room. He did just that while mumbling some Arabic gibberish, then landed under her Holiday tree, lit a fuse in his bear paw and blew up the entire family room.

DISCLAIMER: There are those who are calling the manufacture of the CAIR Bears to be an ugly, ignorant and intolerant slur upon another culture. Some are claiming that the creators of the make-believe CAIR Bears are worse fundamentalist extremists than any of the real Islamic extremists. Think of this. Ridicule and laughter at our enemies’ idiotic and lunatic behavior is a far more humane weapon than those that they wield against us. Indeed, satire and overdue mass-mockery may very well be the best weapon of all against such lunacy as the killing and/or flogging of a school teacher in the name of teddy bears.

That Old Time Religion

Give Me That Old Time ‘Religion of Peace’ Mantra ~ No More!

The ‘Islam is the religion of peace’ mantra has burned itself out, finally! We can be grateful for small favors. For a religion to have the gall to speak of ‘peace‘ when its common response to any criticism of it is violence, finally has dawned upon even the most “devout” of Islam. Danish cartoons, a Dutch screenplay, Salman Rushdie’s novel, Israel defending its national borders against neighboring Arab states and Palestinian terrorists, is justification enough for any devoted Muslim father to arm his teen-aged son as a soon-to-be-dead bomber.

Devout Muslims and the bien pensant multiculturalists have been pushing that same ‘religion of peace’ mantra down our throats, expecting we would swallow it, hook, line and sinker, each time there was just one more incident of Islamic terrorism. They are finally realizing that we just aren’t that dumb!

Only the most devout of all Muslims truly believes that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ and exhibits the accepted model of ‘peaceful’ Muslim behavior. Where do we find such devout Muslims? They are the homicide bombers and members of the world-wide Muslim terrorist network who at this very moment are plotting murder in their supposedly sacred mosques. That is where one finds the most devout of all Muslims.

Less devout Muslims, those who have not yet developed a strong enough faith to murder their friends and neighbors for being non-believers or Jews, should come to their senses and escape and eschew such a religion. Other creeds, faiths and even atheism do not require one to teach hatred of others to children or to send one’s own young sons and daughters into the world as suicidal murderers.

Give me that old time religion
Tis the old time religion,
Tis the old time religion,
And it’s good enough for me.

Makes me love everybody.
Makes me love everybody.
Makes me love everybody.
And it’s good enough for me.

It has saved our fathers.
It has saved our fathers.
It has saved our fathers.
And it’s good enough for me.

It will take us all to heaven.
It will take us all to heaven.
It will take us all to heaven.
And it’s good enough for me.

~~Charles Davis Tillman (1861-1943)

The Koranic Verses

“‘To be born again,‘ sang Gibreel Farishta tumbling from the heavens, ‘first you have to die…” from “The Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie.

Today, in England and America, airline passengers learned that the evil followers of Islam had plans to have them be ‘born again’, by blowing them out of the sky. Families travelling with young children, innocent vacationers, business men and women, fellow humans of all faiths, races and nationalities, but with one commonality; the passengers were all innocent and were not asking to be ‘born again’. This is the cowardly face of terrorism. This enemy will not stand eye to eye with our soldiers and our armies. No, these cowards in their perverted quest for their promised 72 virgins, attack those who are not trained to fight back; children, women, the elderly.

They commit these crimes at the bidding of their religion, their Allah. No Muslim of character and good will can ignore this fact without asking himself how can such a horrendously evil creed survive and hold onto its adherents? A religion that breeds killers is an evil religion led by the hooved footed one; the one of hairy legs and horned head. Perhaps Armageddon is here and Satan’s army be those who follow Satan’s orders. They are lovers of evil, with hearts full of envy at the successes and accomplishments of non-believers. They are prophets of doom and disaster. They stand opposed to what is right and good in the world. They murder followers of the real God, the God of good.

The people today at the airport, holding the hands of their children, will be tolerant of such an evil faith no more. The time has come to call Allah-sanctioned murder, what it is – Satanic evil, just as “The Satanic Verses” told us many years ago, and for which its author received a death sentence, a ‘fatwa’, for his truth-telling.

Rushdie, a student of Islamism, foresaw the future of an Islamic world. Almost twenty years ago now, two characters in Rushdie’s book were flying across the English Channel when, “most implausibly”, their airliner was hijacked and exploded and they plummeted to earth as “tidbits of tobacco from a broken old cigar.” Yes, it almost happened today, and it would, once again, have been mass murder of innocents on an unimaginable scale. We are all under a ‘fatwa’.

“By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them.“

Who Wants 72 Virgins?

Who Will Murder to Get Them? The answer is below.

Does the Koran really promise Islamic martyrs 72 virgins? Beginning with the September 11th suicide/homicide bombers who destroyed themselves and thousands of others, there has been talk that the murderers of so many expected their reward to be seventy-two virgins in paradise. Is this a true interpretation of the Muslim faith? Is there any Koranic basis for believing that those who kill and die for the faith will be gifted by Allah with three score and twelve comely virgins?

The difficulty in determining what the Koran has to say about virgins  is establishing what the Koran says about anything, period. Translations vary widely. In a Web-based version of Islam’s holy book (www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/index.htm) there is: “Verily, for the Muttaqun [righteous], there will be a success (paradise); gardens and grapeyards; and young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; and a full cup (of wine)” (An-Naba 78:31-34). Other translations replace “full-breasted maidens” with less voluptuous words such as “companions.”  The Arabic word at issue is WakawaAAiba, which appears nowhere else in the Koran. The French usually translate that word as des belles aux seins arrondis, which is literally “beautiful women with round breasts.”

The actual number of virgins allotted to the faithful, seventy-two, is found nowhere in the Koran. For this promise Muslims must read the Hadith, traditional sayings traced to Muhammad. Hadith number 2,562, known as the Sunan al-Tirmidhi reads, “The least [reward] for the people of Heaven is 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome of pearls, aquamarine and ruby.”

It is anyone’s guess as to what the holy Prophet of Islam had on his mind when he made such promises to his followers. Was he only appealing to any normal man’s eternal lust? I, a woman, will take the 80,000 servants perhaps, if that is what they really are;  servants who are paid well and treated with respect. However, if  “servants” in the Hadith, translates in reality to “enslaved persons,” then that Heaven or Paradise where lives the holy Allah does not sound appealing to me. And why would I want seventy-two wives, anyway; or seventy-two concubines, as that is what they likely are? Oh, I forgot that Allah was speaking only to men. Women I suppose, receive the glory of being one of the seventy-two virgins.

As is typical of the American left, those erudite secularists amongst us, they see this heavenly reward of virgins given for murder as no fault of Islam. Long before Muhammad was even born, it was Jesus Christ who came a-teaching in the land about a heavenly Paradise. Muhammad was only accepting the teachings of the prophet Jesus, therefore, the murdering of innocent Jews and Christians so that Muslim men can obtain their Allah-promised seventy-two virgins in Paradise is all the fault of … Christianity.

There are words to describe followers of any religion who would take innocent human life to satisfy their own lusts for virgins, heavenly or earthly, and the words are “murderous sexual perverts.” That is the same phrase that is already applied to persons who commit the same horrific deeds, but not in the name of Allah, to satisfy their sexual perversions on earth.

Holy Book of Islam

The holy book of Islam is al-qur’anu l-karîm. That is the Arabic word for what is commonly written as ‘Koran’, ‘Quran’, or ‘Qur’an’ in English. Apparently, for some unknown reason, only the latter is the correct English translation.

The University of Virginia refers on-line to al-qur’anu l-karîm, as the Koran and has turned it into an electronic version: The Koran at the Electronic Text Center, University of Virginia. The University of Michigan also has an electronic version of the Koran which is searchable at its website.

The University of Southern California has three translations of the Qur’an at its website, where they note: “any translation of the Qur’an immediately ceases to be the literal word of Allah, and hence cannot be equated with the Qur’an in its original Arabic form. In fact, each of the translations on this site is actually an interpretation which has been translated. The first-time reader is strongly advised to read the introduction to the translations we have made available. Corrections and suggestions are appreciated.”

Catholic Encylopedia has a synopsis of the “Koran”, from a Roman Catholic viewpoint of course, which is described as; “The sacred book of the Muslims, by whom it is regarded as the revelation of God. Supplemented by the so-called Hadith, or traditions, it is the foundation of Islam and the final authority in dogma and belief, in jurisprudence, worship, ethics, and in social, family, and individual conduct.”

There is a site called Holy Quran Resource Group which has information on the Quran.

Scott Ott at Scrapple Face has an interesting post on the various names used for the Holy Book of Islam. Actually, I think he hits the nail on the head.

“Muslims Riot Over Spelling of ‘Koran’ in U.S. Media” by Scott Ott, (2005-05-17)
— As many as 25 people died and dozens more were injured during riots in Afghanistan today which erupted over what one Muslim cleric called “the U.S. media’s desecration-by-mispelling” of the name of Islam’s most holy book.Indeed, American editors have failed to reach consensus on how to render the holy book’s name. Some spell it with a ‘K’ others with a ‘Q’ and — perhaps most offensive to Muslim sensibilities — some insert a meaningless apostrophe in the middle of the word.
