In what is a revealing and troubling (but not surprising) development, CAIR, a group with well-documented ties to individuals and groups practicing Qu'ranic Islam, has enlisted the help of the ACLU in attacking and undermining Christian freedom in the United States.
The ACLU has a long history of attacking the religious freedom of the American people and of usurping the will of the people through the use of judicial activism. It has long sought (with a great deal of success) to undermine American Liberty.
CAIR, recognizing the effectiveness of the ACLU, has also chosen to use gross distortions of language and law to intimidate Americans.
Rather than succumb to politically-correct misspeak and be bullied into silence, Americans must continue the persistent and courageous declaration of Truth, for "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Faith without works is dead
Why are Christians losing America?
It is not enough to "believe" in Jesus.
The Apostle James warns Christians against the false security of thinking that faith apart from works is worth anything at all--"even the demons believe, and shudder."
In other words, faith without works is dead.
Some familiar with Christianity will no doubt object, saying, "We are saved by faith, not by works!" Yes, this is true. But the faith of which James speaks is real faith, the kind of faith that results in obedience to Christ, the kind of faith that results in action.
Jesus said, "If you love Me, obey My commands." He spoke often of the fact that His children will produce the works He intends.
Because it reflects the traditional Apostlic faith, Lutheran theology states it this way: "We are saved by faith alone, but not by faith that is alone."

Happy Reformation Day!
The real reason to celebrate: today is the anniversary of one of the most important moments in Church history.
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther, a Roman Catholic priest, posted on the church doors at Wittenberg his 95 Theses.

What better reason to celebrate?
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther, a Roman Catholic priest, posted on the church doors at Wittenberg his 95 Theses.
The main thrust of his argument was that God had clearly revealed in His Scriptures that:
-because of our sin, all of us justly deserve His wrath,Because of Jesus, we are freely and completely forgiven of all our sins, reconciled to God, and await eternal life with Christ in His kingdom!
-there's nothing we can do about it, but
-because of His great love for us, the Son of God bled and died to take away our sins!
What better reason to celebrate?
"Michael Moore, America's worst enemy and one of the world's most evil men is a big fan of yours."
What does it say about Moore's ideology that a religious tyrant and mass murderer uses his "creative" output to try to influence the American electorate?
What does it say about the Democratic Party that Moore receives a place of honor at its Convention?
It only took about a year after 9-11 for the leadership of the Democratic Party to start putting their own political gain ahead of the security of America.
Providing aid to the enemy in a time of war is treason. Providing significant portions of bin Laden's Election Eve propaganda piece would qualify as providing aid, wouldn't it?

A speech for the ages...
WorldNetDaily: Text of Zell Miller's speech
I don't believe any argument against John Kerry could have been delivered more clearly, credibly, or passionately than the one given by Democrat Zell Miller tonight.
With brutal honesty he exposed and condemned the Democratic leadership's eagerness to sacrifice our nation for their own political gain.
[Update October 31, 2004: Given the truth of the charges made by Miller, it shouldn't be surprising that the Democratic leadership and its Media Minions have made every effort to discredit and destroy the Senator. This disgraceful effort demonstrates how effective and truthful his assertions were.
Just a few short years ago, Senator Miller was a darling of the Democratic Party for his support of President Clinton. It seems that hypocrisy is not a vice for which the Democratic leadership feels any shame.]

Dying daily (or living in one's baptism)
WorldNetDaily: The passion of the Christian
This article is several months old, but its message is timeless. Christians are to follow Christ.
Some highlights...
"Of course – and this is something of a divine paradox – as Christians, we know we can't save ourselves, and yet we are most definitely called to obedience. So, let's not slough off our responsibility to "die daily" by comfortably presuming on the unending mercy of God. His mercy is unending, indeed, but also balanced with justice, and these two seemingly contradictory qualities work together mysteriously and wonderfully toward our redemption, but only in the truly sincere human soul that doesn't tempt God."
"The recipient of your patience – say, your spouse or child – experiences that patience as love, just as they experience your impatience as a lack of love."
"No, if God wanted to demonstrate His love for us, and at the same time provide us with the perfect, ultimate example of real love for our fellow man, what could be a more perfect expression of love than the willing suffering and death of His Son – Who while dying asked God to forgive His tormentors? The sheer logic and power of it is transcendent. If you're looking for love in this loveless world, that's it."

In making clear that we are to put no one or no thing before Him, Our Lord said,
"The person who loves his father or mother more than me does not deserve to be my disciple. The person who loves a son or daughter more than me does not deserve to be my disciple. Whoever doesn't take up his cross and follow me doesn't deserve to be my disciple. The person who tries to preserve his life will lose it, but the person who loses his life for me will preserve it."and,
"If you love Me, obey my commands."Paul warns against compromising with false gods:
"We haven't cut you off. Your own emotions have cut you off from us.
"I'm talking to you as I would talk to children. Treat us the same way we've treated you. Make a place for us in your hearts too.
"Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. Can right and wrong be partners? Can light have anything in common with darkness? Can Christ agree with the devil? Can a believer share life with an unbeliever? Can God's temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God.
"As God said, 'I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.'
"The Lord says, 'Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you.' The Lord Almighty says, 'I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters'" (2 Corinthians 6).

Allah and his false prophet command the faithful to convert, subdue and humiliate, or kill non-Muslims to make the world Islam
Muslims wishing to deceive ignorant and gullible non-Muslims -- and those non-Muslims who wish to be deceived -- often demonize critics of Muhammad and Islam by accusing them of "Islamophobia," "racism," "extremism," and taking Islamic authoritative texts out-of-context.
When allowed to speak for themselves, Allah and its apostle prove those accusations false. According to Muslims, Muhammad's words and deeds are recorded in Qur'an, hadith, and sira. In these texts, Muhammad and his god demand the conversion, subjugation and humiliation, and slaughter of non-Muslims to make the world Islam.
I. MUHAMMAD THE GENOCIDAL MONSTER
These open-ended, universal commands for offensive warfare against those who refuse to convert to Islam or to submit to its tyranny sum up nicely the predicament that's faced non-Muslims around the world for nearly one and one-half millennia:
Muslim Book 19, Number 4294:
Qur'an 5:33:
Quran 2:191-19:
So much for the allegedly inviolable prohibition against killing innocent women, children, and the elderly and burning down trees:
The "divine" command for beheading:
Here's how Allah deals with prisoners of war. Apparently, he hasn't heard of the Geneva Conventions:
It's not just women you get when you kill for Allah. You also get boys in Paradise:
Pedophilia as Muslim orthodoxy? In speaking of divorce:
On raping one's slaves, including those whose husbands, fathers, and brothers you've just slaughtered:
Muhammad on the immutability of Islam (apart from what he himself decides to change) and the abrogation of earlier, more peaceful verses in favor of the numerous verses of blood:
Why what the false prophet says matters so much to Muslims:
Muhammad on freedom of religion:
On what to do with those who insult Muhammad. In response to Muhammad's having 120 year-old Abu Afak killed, Asma bint Marwan, a poetess, mocked him. Muhammad was not amused:
On Allah's hatred of painting, and a cure worse than the disease it's purported to solve:
On truthfulness, or rather, the lack of it, as long as it aids Allah's cause:
On Muhammad's special love for Jews:
For those who claim the god of Islam is the God of the Bible, Muhammad doesn't think so. He calls Christ a blasphemer:

These open-ended, universal commands for offensive warfare against those who refuse to convert to Islam or to submit to its tyranny sum up nicely the predicament that's faced non-Muslims around the world for nearly one and one-half millennia:
Muslim Book 19, Number 4294:
"the Messenger of Allah [...] would say: 'Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war. [...] When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. [...] Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. [...] If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them [...].'"Qur’an 9:5, the "Verse of the Sword":
"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) [...]."Qur'an 9:29:
"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, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."Islam's great exegete Ibn Kathir says of the following verse: "'Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various types of evil." So, Muhammad requires execution, crucifixion, or cutting off hands and feet from opposite sides for disbelief.
Qur'an 5:33:
"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter [...]."Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24:
"Allah's Apostle said: 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle [...] if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me [...].'"The following commands slaughter in response to "persecution"; self-defense is moral and retaliation understandable, but when you consider that even disbelief is considered "waging war" against Allah, then this passage can be used reasonably by Muslims to justify butchering innocents.
Quran 2:191-19:
"slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers."Qur'an 8:67:
"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise."Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
"Allah’s Apostle said, '[...] I have been made victorious with terror [...].'"Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25:
"Allah's Apostle was asked, 'What is the best deed?' He replied, 'To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad).' The questioner then asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' He replied, 'To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause.' The questioner again asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' He replied, 'To perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) [...].'"Qur'an 8:38-39:
"Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them). And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone (in the whole of the world) [...]."Qur'an 9:123:
"O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him."Qur'an 2:216:
"Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."Qur'an 8:60:
"Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly."Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 50:
“Muhammad said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’”Qur'an 4:95).
"Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home) [...] But those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward [...]."Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 44:
“A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward.’ He replied, ‘I do not find such a deed.’”Qur'an 9:111:
"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah?"Qur'an 3:169-71:
"Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance from their Lord. They rejoice in the Bounty provided by Allah...the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve. They rejoice in the Grace and the Bounty from Allah, and in the fact that Allah suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least)."Qur'an 9:90-91:
"And there were, among the desert Arabs (also), men who made excuses and came to claim exemption [from waging war against non-Muslims]; and those who were false to Allah and His Messenger (merely) sat inactive. Soon will a grievous penalty seize the Unbelievers among them. There is no blame on those who are infirm, or ill, or who find no resources to spend (on the cause), if they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His Messenger: no ground (of complaint) can there be against such as do right: and Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."Qur'an 9:38-39:
"O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place [...]."II. MUHAMMAD THE TERRORIST
"Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): 'I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them'" (Qur'an 8:12).III. MUHAMMAD THE WARLORD AND HIS INTENTION TO CONQUER THE NON-MUSLIM WORLD
"Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly" (Qur'an 8:60).
"Allah’s Apostle said, '[...] I have been made victorious with terror. The treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).
"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) [...]" (Qur’an 9:5).IV. MUHAMMAD THE SLAUGHTERER OF THE INNOCENT
"Narrated Jubair bin Haiya: ''Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans [...] 'Umar said to him [Al-Hurmuzan] "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to invade."
'Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the enemies of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs [...] if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two wings and the head would become useless.
'The head stands for Khosrau [Persia], and one wing stands for Caesar [Byzantium] and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau."
'So, 'Umar sent us (to Khosrau) [...] When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us.
'Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."
'(Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Numan for delaying the attack and) An-Numan said to Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah's Apostle he would not have blamed you for waiting, nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's Apostle in many battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he would wait till the wind had started blowing and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday)" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Number 386).
So much for the allegedly inviolable prohibition against killing innocent women, children, and the elderly and burning down trees:
"The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 256).It is permissible for Muslims to kill inviolable infidels if they are aiding the fighting in deed, word, opinion, or any other way. This is because of the Prophet's order to kill Duraid ibn Al-Simma, who was [very old] and went with the Hawazin tribe [to fight against the Muslims] to give them counsel. Ibn Qudama notes that the Prophet ordered him killed in the Battle of Hunein because he knew military stratagems:
"The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree) [justifying the murder of innocents]: but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong" (Qur'an 42:40).
"And they agreed concerning the Messenger of Allah's killing of Durayd Ibn As-Summa on the day of Hunayn because he was a person of opinion and strategem of war. So whoever is like this from the elderly, then they are killed according to all." (At-Tamhid Volume 16, Number 142).V. MUHAMMAD THE DECAPITATOR AND MUTILATOR OF "UNBELIEVERS"
"Then occurred the "sariyyah" [raid] of Salim Ibn Umayr al-Amri against Abu Afak, the Jew, in [the month of] Shawwal in the beginning of the twentieth month from the hijrah [immigration from Mecca to Medina in AD 622], of the Apostle of Allah.
"Abu Afak, was from Banu Amr Ibn Awf, and was an old man who had attained the age of one hundred and twenty years. He was a Jew, and used to instigate the people against the Apostle of Allah, and composed (satirical) verses [about Muhammad].
"Salim Ibn Umayr who was one of the great weepers and who had participated in Badr, said, 'I take a vow that I shall either kill Abu Afak or die before him.' He waited for an opportunity until a hot night came, and Abu Afak slept in an open place. Salim Ibn Umayr knew it, so he placed the sword on his liver and pressed it till it reached his bed. The enemy of Allah screamed and the people who were his followers, rushed to him, took him to his house and interred him" (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al Tabaqat al Kabir, Volume 2, (2), p.32).
"When the apostle heard what she had said he said, 'Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?' Umayr bin Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard him, and that very night he went to her house and killed her. In the morning he came to the apostle and told him what he had done and he [Muhammad] said, 'You have helped Allah and His apostle, O Umayr!' When he asked if he would have to bear any evil consequences the apostle said, 'Two goats won't butt their heads about her,' so Umayr went back to his people.
"Now there was a great commotion among Banu Khatma that day about the affair of bint [daughter of] Marwan. She had five sons, and when Umayr went to them from the apostle he said, 'I have killed bint Marwan, o sons of Khatma. Withstand me if you can; don't keep me waiting.' That was the first day Islam became powerful among Banu Khatma; before that those who were Muslims concealed the fact [...] The day after Bint Marwan was killed the men of Banu Khatma became Muslims because they feared for their lives" (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, pp. 675-676 of Guillaume's translation).
"Then (occurred) the sariyyah of Umayr ibn adi Ibn Kharashah al-Khatmi against Asma Bint Marwan [...] She used to revile Islam, offend the prophet and instigate the (people) against him. She composed verses. Umayr Ibn Adi came to her in the night and entered her house. Her children were sleeping around her. There was one whom she was suckling. He searched her with his hand because he was blind, and separated the child from her. He thrust his sword in her chest till it pierced up to her back. Then he offered the morning prayers with the prophet at al-Medina. The apostle of Allah said to him: "Have you slain the daughter of Marwan?" He said: "Yes. Is there something more for me to do?" He [Muhammad] said: "No [...]" (Ibn Sa'd's Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir).
"A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet [...] and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet [...] and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet [...] was informed about it.
"He assembled the people and said: 'I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up.' Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up.
"He sat before the Prophet [...] and said: 'Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her.'
"Thereupon the Prophet [...] said: 'Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood'" (Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4348).
"It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah [...] ordered the date-palms of Banu Nadir to be burnt and cut. These palms were at Buwaira. Qutaibah and Ibn Rumh in their versions of the tradition have added: 'So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed the verse: "Whatever trees you have cut down or left standing on their trunks, it was with the permission of Allah so that He may disgrace the evil-doers"'" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4324).
The "divine" command for beheading:
"Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): 'I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them'" (Qur'an 8:12).VI. MUHAMMAD THE BUTCHER OF PRISONERS OF WAR
"Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them) [...] Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah, - He will never let their deeds be lost" (Qur'an 47:4).
"...he [Muhammad] said [to Abu Sufyan], ‘Isn’t it time that you should recognize that there is no God but Allah?’
"He answered, ‘You are dearer to me than father or mother. How great is your clemency, honour, and kindness! By God, I thought that had there been another God with God he would have continued to help me.’
"He said, ‘Woe to you, Abu Sufyan, isn’t it time that you should recognize that I am God’s apostle?’
"He answered, ‘As to that I still have some doubt.’
"'I said to him, "Submit and testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the apostle of God before you lose your head," so he did so'" (Ishaq, 547).
Here's how Allah deals with prisoners of war. Apparently, he hasn't heard of the Geneva Conventions:
"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter [...]" (Qur'an 5:33).VII. MUHAMMAD THE SERIAL, BISEXUAL RAPIST IN PARADISE
It's not just women you get when you kill for Allah. You also get boys in Paradise:
"As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security, Among Gardens and Springs; Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other; So; and We shall join them to fair women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes" (Qur'an 44:51-54).VIII. MUHAMMAD THE PEDOPHILE
"those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith, - to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds. And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire. They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill. Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded" (Qur'an 52:21-24).
"round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls" (Qur'an 76:19).
Pedophilia as Muslim orthodoxy? In speaking of divorce:
"And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him" (Qur'an 65:4).Why? Because Allah ordained it, and his apostle practiced it. On Muhammad's raping of his nine-year-old "wife":
"My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse took over and wiped my face with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so I could catch my breath. I was brought in while Muhammad was sitting on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. The other men and women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my house when I was nine years old” (Tabari 9:131).IX. MUHAMMAD THE MISOGYNIST, POLYGYNIST, AND WIFE-BEATER
"Narrated 'Aisha [Muhammad's six-year-old "bride" and nine-year-old sexual "partner"]: 'Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You were shown to me twice in (my) dream [before I married you]. Behold, a man was carrying you in a silken piece of cloth and said to me, 'She is your wife, so uncover her,' and behold, it was you. I would then say (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.'"'" (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 87, Number 139 and 140).
"Narrated Aisha: The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became alright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age" (Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234).
"A'isha [...] reported: Allah's Apostle [...] married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old" (Muslim Book 8, Number 3310).
"Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death)" (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64 and 65).
"Narrated 'Ursa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)" (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88).
"Narrated Hisham's father: Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consum[mat]ed that marriage when she was nine years old" (Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236).
"Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Apostle of Allah [...] married me when I was seven or six. When we came to Medina, some women came. According to Bishr's version: Umm Ruman came to me when I was swinging. They took me, made me prepared and decorated me. I was then brought to the Apostle of Allah [...] and he took up cohabitation with me when I was nine. She halted me at the door, and I burst into laughter" (Bukhari Book 41, Number 4915).
"Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: When we came to Medina, the women came to me when I was playing on the swing, and my hair were up to my ears. They brought me, prepared me, and decorated me. Then they brought me to the Apostle of Allah [...] and he took up cohabitation with me, when I was nine" (Bukhari Book 41, Number 4917).
"Narrated 'Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)" (Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151).
"'A'isha [...] reported that Allah's Apostle [...] married her when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he [Muhammad] died she was eighteen years old" (Muslim Book 8, Number 3311).
'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Apostle came, 'Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women" (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 72, Number 715).On beating wives, "plowing the field," the legal value of a woman's testimony, polygamy (and raping your slaves), the penalty for "lewdness," a daughter's inheritance, and what to do with a woman caught in adultery:
“[...] good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them [...]" (Qur'an 4:34).Why women must cover themselves (and why non-Muslim women are increasingly being targeted by Muslims for rape and other atrocities):
“Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will” (Qur'an 2:223).
"Allah's Apostle said, "If a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 460).
“Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her” (Qur'an 2:282).
“If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice” (Qur'an 4:3).
"If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way [...]" (Qur'an 4:15).
“Allah (thus) directs you as regards your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females” (Qur'an 4:11).
"There came to him [Muhammad] a woman from Ghamid and said: 'Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He [Muhammad] turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child).
"'When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him [Muhammad] with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He [Muhammad] entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's Apostle [...] heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle [...]'" (Muslim Book 17, 4206).
"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex [...]" (Qur'an 24:31).Muhammad on female leaders of state:
"Aisha used to say: 'When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces'" (Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 282).
"Narrated 'Aisha: 'Allah's Apostle used to offer the Fajr prayer and some believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with him and then they would return to their homes unrecognized'" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 368).
[Explanatory note: Shaikh Ibn Uthaimin in tafseer of this hadith explains: "This hadith makes it clear that the Islamic dress is concealing of the entire body as explained in this hadith. Only with the complete cover including the face and hands can a woman not be recognized. This was the understanding and practice of the Sahaba and they were the best of group, the noblest in the sight of Allah [...] with the most complete Imaan and noblest of characters. so if the practice of the women of the sahaba was to wear the complete veil then how can we deviate from their path?"]
"Narrated 'Aisha: 'The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the Prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes)'" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Number 148).
"Narrated Abu Bakra: 'During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word (I heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler"'" (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 88, Number 219).X. MUHAMMAD THE RAPIST
On raping one's slaves, including those whose husbands, fathers, and brothers you've just slaughtered:
"Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess [...]" (Qur'an 4:24).XI. MUHAMMAD THE SOURCE OF ISLAMIC REVELATION
"...we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Apostle selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his wife [...]" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 143).
The Prophet stayed for three rights between Khaibar and Medina and was married to Safiya. I invited the Muslim to his marriage banquet and there was neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the wives of the Prophet ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses" Some of them said, "If the Prophet makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the believers (i.e. one of the Prophet's wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him [...] and made her observe the veil" (Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 524).
Muhammad on the immutability of Islam (apart from what he himself decides to change) and the abrogation of earlier, more peaceful verses in favor of the numerous verses of blood:
"I heard the Prophet saying [...] 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me!'" (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 88, Number 174).XII. MUHAMMAD THE "BEAUTIFUL PATTERN OF CONDUCT"
“The Prophet said, ‘If I take an oath and later find something else better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath'" (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 67, Number 427).
“Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things” (Qur'an 2:106)?
Why what the false prophet says matters so much to Muslims:
"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah" (Qur'an 33:21).XIII. MUHAMMAD THE RELIGIOUS TYRANT
"the Messenger of Allah [...] said: 'No bondsman believes,' and, in the hadith narrated by Abdul Warith, 'no person believes, till I am dearer to him than the members of his household, his wealth and the whole of mankind'" (Muslim Book 1, Number 70).
"It is reported on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah said: 'None of you is a believer till I am dearer to him than his child, his father and the whole of mankind'" (Muslim Book 1, Number 71).
Muhammad on freedom of religion:
"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57).XIV. MUHAMMAD THE EMOTIONALLY-STUNTED MURDERER AND ASSASSIN OF OLD MEN AND FEMALE POETS AND SADISTIC, TORTURING FIEND
"They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them" (Qur'an 4:89).
On what to do with those who insult Muhammad. In response to Muhammad's having 120 year-old Abu Afak killed, Asma bint Marwan, a poetess, mocked him. Muhammad was not amused:
"When the apostle heard what she had said he said, 'Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?' Umayr bin Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard him, and that very night he went to her house and killed her. In the morning he came to the apostle and told him what he had done and he [Muhammad] said, "You have helped Allah and His apostle, O Umayr!" When he asked if he would have to bear any evil consequences the apostle said, 'Two goats won't butt their heads about her,' so Umayr went back to his people.A little more detail on the foul deed:
Now there was a great commotion among Banu Khatma that day about the affair of bint [daughter of] Marwan. She had five sons, and when Umayr went to them from the apostle he said, 'I have killed bint Marwan, o sons of Khatma. Withstand me if you can; don't keep me waiting.' That was the first day Islam became powerful among Banu Khatma; before that those who were Muslims concealed the fact [...] The day after Bint Marwan was killed the men of Banu Khatma became Muslims because they feared for their lives" (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah).
"Then (occurred) the sariyyah of Umayr ibn adi Ibn Kharashah al-Khatmi against Asma Bint Marwan, of Banu Umayyah Ibn Zayd, when five nights had remained from the month of Ramadan, in the beginning of the nineteenth month from the hijrah of the apostle of Allah. Asma was the wife of Yazid Ibn Zayd Ibn Hisn al-Khatmi. She used to revile Islam, offend the prophet and instigate the (people) against him. She composed verses. Umayr Ibn Adi came to her in the night and entered her house. Her children were sleeping around her. There was one whom she was suckling. He searched her with his hand because he was blind, and separated the child from her. He thrust his sword in her chest till it pierced up to her back. Then he offered the morning prayers with the prophet at al-Medina. The apostle of Allah said to him: "Have you slain the daughter of Marwan?" He said: "Yes. Is there something more for me to do?" He [Muhammad] said: "No [...]" (Ibn Sa'd's Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir).Here's another woman foolish enough to mock the seal of the prophets:
"Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:And here Muhammad tortures a captured Jew for his treasure:
"A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet [...] and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet [...] and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet [...] was informed about it.
"He assembled the people and said: 'I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up.' Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up.
"He sat before the Prophet [...] and said: 'Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her.'
"Thereupon the Prophet [...] said: 'Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood'" Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4348).
"Kinana al-Rabi, who had the custody of the treasure of Banu Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle said to Kinana, "Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?" He said "Yes". The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr Al-Awwam, "Torture him until you extract what he has." So he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud" (Ibn Ishaq, 515).XV. MUHAMMAD THE ART CRITIC AND PHYSICIAN
On Allah's hatred of painting, and a cure worse than the disease it's purported to solve:
"Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had said: The most grievously tormented people on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of pictures [...] All the painters who make pictures would be in the fire of Hell. The soul will be breathed in every picture prepared by him and it shall punish him in the Hell [...]" (Muslim, Book 024, Number 5272).XVI. MUHAMMAD THE DECEIVER
"Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the [...] camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they die" (Bukhari Volume 8, Book 82, Number 794).
On truthfulness, or rather, the lack of it, as long as it aids Allah's cause:
"War is deceit" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 268).XVII. MUHAMMAD THE ANTI-SEMITE AND CHRIST-HATER
"Allah's Apostle said, 'Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?' Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, 'O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?' The Prophet said, 'Yes,' Muhammad bin Maslama said, 'Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).' The Prophet said, 'You may say it' (Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369).
"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah" (Qur'an 3:28).
On Muhammad's special love for Jews:
"Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews" (Muslim Book 41, Number 6985).On Muhammad's love for Jews and Christians, deceptively referred to by Muslims as the "People of the Book":
Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant" (Qur'an 5:82).
"And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected" (Qur'an 2:65).
"Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, (as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil; these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path" (Qur'an 5:60)!
"Allah's Apostle said, 'The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him"'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177).
"We were (sitting) in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah [...] came to us and said: (Let us) go to the Jews. We went out with him until we came to them. The Messenger of Allah [...] stood up and called out to them (saying): O ye assembly of Jews, accept Islam (and) you will be safe.
[...]
"he killed their men, and distributed their women, children and properties among the Muslims, except that some of them had joined the Messenger of Allah [...] who granted them security. They embraced Islam. The Messenger of Allah [...] turned out all the Jews of Medlina. Banu Qainuqa' (the tribe of 'Abdullah b. Salim) and the Jews of Banu Haritha and every other Jew who was in Medina.
[...]
"It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah [...] say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4363-4366)."
"It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah [...] say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4363-4366)."XVIII. MUHAMMAD THE HERETIC AND BLASPHEMER OF THE LIVING GOD
"Abu Burda reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle [...] said: No Muslim would die but Allah would admit in his stead a Jew or a Christian in Hell-Fire. 'Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz took an oath: By One besides Whom there is no god but He, thrice that his father had narrated that to him from Allah's Messenger [...]" (Muslim Book 37, Number 6666).
"Those who disbelieve, neither their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them aught against Allah: They are themselves but fuel for the Fire" (Qur'an 3:10).
"'There is none born but is created to his true nature (Islam). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Magian quite as beasts produce their young with their limbs perfect. Do you see anything deficient in them?' Then he quoted the Qur'an, 'The nature made by Allah in which He has created men there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion'" (Muslim Book 33, Number 6423).
"Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz gave a decision that when a [J]ew or [C]hristian was killed, his blood-money was half the blood-money of a free muslim.
"Malik said, 'What is done in our community, is that a muslim is not killed for a kafir unless the muslim kills him by deceit. Then he is killed for it.'
[...]
"Malik said, 'The blood-monies of the Jew, Christian, and Magian in their injuries, is according to the injury of the muslims in their blood-moneys. The head wound is a twentieth of his full blood-money. The wound that opens the head is a third of his blood-money. The belly-wound is a third of his blood-money. All their injuries are according to this calculation'" (Muwatta Book 43, Number 43.15.8b).
"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust" (Qur'an 5:51).
"Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of the Shaitan. Fight therefore against the friends of the Shaitan; surely the strategy of the Shaitan is weak" (Qur'an 4:76).
"Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures" (Qur'an 98:6).
"Muhammad - the messenger of GOD - and those with him are harsh and stern against the disbelievers, but kind and compassionate amongst themselves" (Qur'an 48:29).
For those who claim the god of Islam is the God of the Bible, Muhammad doesn't think so. He calls Christ a blasphemer:
"In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things" (Qur'an 5:17).
"They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them" (Qur'an 5:73).
"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth" (Qur'an 9:30)!
"It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son" (Qur'an 19:35).
Monday, July 26
Democratic National Convention, Day 1
After the first night of the convention, several things are clear:
1) Al Gore is bitter.
I gave up counting (after six) the number of times the former vice-president referred to his electoral loss in Florida (subsequently verified by independent Florida media).
At least he didn't conclude his comments with "YEEEEEEEAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"
2) When Bill Clinton speaks, he lies.
His remarks just concluded, the only thing more remarkable than the irony of his addressing the topics he did is that he did it with a straight face (and without bursting into flame).
It is ironic (but not funny) that the former Offender-in-Chief would talk about...
...Values. After promising the most ethical administration in history, Mr. Clinton went on to give us perjury and obstruction of justice (for which his license to practice law was revoked; unlike the gutless Senate, at least someone had the courage to hold him accountable), China-gate, a number of suspicious deaths, and (apparently) something so horrific that his National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, would risk everything to steal and destroy top-secret documents.
...The Vietnam War. He protested against America in a foreign nation.
...National Security. Clinton/Gore had eight years and numerous opportunities to neutralize bin Laden and to punish those who unleashed a series of murderous, terrorist attacks against Americans, but did nothing (call the 9-11 Commission--there's your smoking gun!).
...The Economy. After unsuccessfully trying to socialize medicine, he supported Republican-sponsored Welfare Reform, presided over a number of corporate scandals as they occurred (which are now coming to light), and left America in the early stages of a recession.
...Foreign Nations Undue Influence on American Policy. China-gate.
3) The Democratic Party must lie to have a chance to win.
The election will turn upon to what extent the Democrats can deceive the American electorate.
The Democrats must convince us this week that they are not what they are: "Lefter than Left."
Kerry and Edwards are the first and fourth most liberal members of the Senate. The Party as a whole has become socialist, statist, condescending, and amoral. It is without conscious, calling good "evil" and evil "good." It espouses ideologies contrary to America's political and moral founding. As rule, the Democratic Party demonizes, dismisses, and tries to shame into silence those who espouse the Christian religion.
One recurring Democratic theme is that President Bush "lied us into war." The ironic thing is that they lie when claiming this, and the great tragedy (and treason) of it is that their political success depends upon America's failure.
As revealed recently, Joseph Wilson lied about Saddam's efforts to acquire enriched uranium from Africa (he did), and he lied about his wife's influence in getting him the job (she did).
Notably, Iraq's Allawi recently stated that they've been gathering intelligence that indicates Saddam sent his WMD out of the country before and during the war (no doubt while President Bush was trying for a year to "isolate" us from the UN).
One can only hope that the American people see Kerry and his ideological bedfellows for what they are, so that they're "so Left, they're gone."
1) Al Gore is bitter.
I gave up counting (after six) the number of times the former vice-president referred to his electoral loss in Florida (subsequently verified by independent Florida media).
At least he didn't conclude his comments with "YEEEEEEEAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"
2) When Bill Clinton speaks, he lies.
His remarks just concluded, the only thing more remarkable than the irony of his addressing the topics he did is that he did it with a straight face (and without bursting into flame).
It is ironic (but not funny) that the former Offender-in-Chief would talk about...
...Values. After promising the most ethical administration in history, Mr. Clinton went on to give us perjury and obstruction of justice (for which his license to practice law was revoked; unlike the gutless Senate, at least someone had the courage to hold him accountable), China-gate, a number of suspicious deaths, and (apparently) something so horrific that his National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, would risk everything to steal and destroy top-secret documents.

A big surprise on the eve of the Democratic convention in Boston
WorldNetDaily: Socialists urge support of Kerry
Wow, I didn't see that one coming!
The essence of American Liberty is the belief that government derives its power from the consent of the governed, not that we exist to support it.
Socialists (and apparently many Democrats) would make us slaves. They would have our people become even more dependent upon the State than we already are.
***
In describing their efforts to deceive the public, "...the Progressive Caucus has been careful to moderate its image for mainstream consumption."
Hmmm, just like their candidate!

Why our enemies hate us
WorldNetDaily: Al-Qaida rejects Saudi ultimatum
Many people have tried to identify the factors motivating those who would violate our God-given rights to Life and Liberty. It seems few have taken them at their word:
"We did not take this path [of Jihad] because someone misled us or for the sake of some person. Rather, we read in the Book of Allah [the Quran] 'Oh you who believe, what is it with you, that when you are asked to go forth to fight for the sake of Allah you cling heavily to the ground? Are you more satisfied with this world than with the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life as compared with the Hereafter [Quran 9:38].'
"We went forth to fight for the sake of Allah, and we saw the lands of the Muslims conquered and their holy places defiled by Jews, Christians, Shiites, and polytheists, and especially the land of the two holy places [the Arabian Peninsula], and so we undertook Jihad in it.
"Oh demonic rulers! Jihad for the sake of Allah is one of the religious obligations of Islam, which has been practiced by the heroes of the Islamic nation, as a way of removing injustice to them, slaughtering their enemies, and aspiring towards rightly guided caliphate. Jihad is a principle of faith that flows in our blood and gushes from our hearts."
"The law of Islam brought by Muhammad is unbelief in anything that is worshipped other than Allah, and relinquishing and showing hostility to unbelief and unbelievers, and empowering the law of Allah in all matters of life so that there should be no discord and so that all religion should be Allah's alone."

Governor's comment a little too close for comfort?
Governor tells voters Democrats have to go / Budget fight turns into broad clash over state government
"The governor sparked an uproar Saturday when he referred to the Legislature as 'girlie-men,'' a reference to an old 'Saturday Night Live' skit in which Schwarzenegger-mimicking body-builders spoke mockingly of weaklings. The comment offended women's groups, gay and lesbian groups and many Democrats."

The truth about abortion
Here is a page showing the results of "A Woman's Right to Choose" (to kill her baby, for that is what is being terminated, not a pregnancy).
How can anyone defend this monstrous cruelty as a right?

Planned Parenthood and America's Culture of Death
R&B song advocates violence against women who don't abort
An excerpt:
"Statistics cited in the release said one in three African-American pregnancies end in abortion, more than 1,200 black babies die each day to abortions, and about 70 percent of abortion providers are in minority neighborhoods, suggesting that abortion in the black community has “become a form of genocide.”
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, should be pleased.

International Planned Parenthood: as destructive as its American counterpart
My Way - News
Steven Sinding, director general of the International Planned Parenthood Federation condemned President Bush's support for Uganda's proven ABC program to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS: Abstinence, Being faithful, and Condoms by stating, "It appears that this is naked pandering to an extremist constituency."
Uganda has reduced the percentage of its people infected from 30% to 6% in one decade.
It appears that this is naked pandering to an extremist minority (those who demonize Judeo-Christian morality), not to mention an attack on Common Sense and empirical fact.
"Millions of people around the world have been persuaded by the arguments of the U.S. government and religious right. Their actions represent a setback in bringing HIV/AIDS under control."
Tell that to Uganda.

UN hypocrisy: Annan Says AIDS Fight Must Match War on Terror
My Way - News
Does this mean France, Germany, and Russia are going to encourage "unprotected" promiscuity, and the UN will do nothing about it until it is too late?
The president of Uganda, whose country has achieved the greatest rate of reduction of HIV/AIDS of any African nation, attributes the nation's success to abstinence for younger people and faithfulness for older people. Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent the spread of the virus.
President Bush supports the same strategy, but is criticized by Leftists at home and abroad.
Another interesting tidbit from this article: Annan says the United States should lead in the effort against HIV/AIDS.
This prompts two questions. First, what does $15 billion and the promotion of the only known, always-effective prevention of the disease, abstinence, mean? Second, when we lead the effort to separate Saddam Hussein from his WMD and end his support of Islamic terrorism, where was this support for American leadership?
Part of the explanation for this rank hypocrisy seems to be here: "The conference -- the biggest gathering of scientists, activists, drug company bosses and AIDS sufferers -- has seen daily protests by activists shouting "Shame, Shame" against Bush and other rich country leaders accused of failing to support a U.N.-backed global AIDS fund."
Like the UN-Iraq Food-for-Oil Diplomat Charitable Fund, it seems to be all about the money--in this case, the American taxpayers'.

More good news for the unborn
BBC NEWS: Blair hints at abortion rethink
I've made the argument for several years now that abortion can only be justified if killing a child can be justified.
From conception, the not-yet-born is living, fully human, and genetically-unique from its mother.
If killing the unborn is morally-acceptable, then so should be infanticide, since there is no difference in nature between the unborn and the newly-born.

Finally, a Clintonian honest enough to admit he hates God
WorldNetDaily: Robert Reich: God worse than terrorism
Clinton's labor secretary admits he views faith in God as more dangerous than terrorism.
I suppose he's half right--fanaticism in a god that commands slaying the infidel is dangerous (at least for the infidel).
Reich goes on to say the problem with "religious zealots" is that "they confuse politics with private morality."
(He must be pleased the previous adminstration never did that!)
It is silly to imply that politics can ever be separated from morality. Every policy decision, every initiative, every ruling is based on someone's morality. A law is, by its very nature, a codification of morality.
The question becomes then, by whose morality will we be guided?

Moore distortions from the Left
More Distortions From Michael
This article details some of Moore's gross misrepresentations. It is telling that someone of such character has a place of honor in one of America's two major political parties.

Reflections on "liberty and theologically-based social policy"
Andrew Sullivan wrote:
Who else might disagree with this sentiment? Oh, The Founding Fathers, perhaps?
Our nation was founded on the belief that God gives each and every one of us the rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Our system of government was founded upon the Christian religion.
Over and over in their writings, the Founders powerfully asserted the necessity of the People's being truly moral if the Republic were to succeed.
Whose morality did they codify into Law? They did not choose the intellectually-bankrupt and morally-craven path of Relativism.
They chose the one bedrock for all of the intellectual, social, moral, and technological greatness of Western Civilization (which, not coincidentally, was reaching its zenith in their "grand experiment").
They chose the Holy Scriptures.
A proper personal theology calls for individual liberty without license. Holy Writ tells us that "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free, but do not use your freedom as an excuse for sin."
In the same way, a nation of free people must exercise self-restraint guided by a sound morality. Since any law is the codification of someone's morality, the question becomes, "By whose morality will we guided?"
What Andrew Sullivan and others of the "Don't Force Your Religion on Me" faction apparently fail to recognize is that rejecting the "theologically-based social policy" of our Founding Fathers would mean rejecting our laws against stealing, murder, rape, fraud, and a host of other crimes.
I guess anarchy's fine as long as it is someone else experiencing others' "liberty."

A critical question in a time of war
Here's an article that complements my earlier post on the Qur'an: Question Authority: The Quran mentions beheading. Why does the U.S. press claim otherwise?
I've got some answers:
Jihad in America | Media unwilling to tell the truth about the Qur'an's commands to beheading
I've got some answers:
1) President Bush, rathering than telling the truth about what motivates Islam's violence against non-Muslims, tries to equate Islam with Judaism and Christianity;The first step to healing is admitting there's a problem. Neither can you defeat an enemy you do not recognize.
2) Most of the Western press is so anti-American that any attack against the U.S. (especially with that right-wing fanatic Bush in office) is probably deserved;
3) "My enemy's enemy is my friend;" and
4) Political-correctness is so powerful that most people are afraid to tell the truth about Islam for fear of being called "Islamophobe" or some other name.
