Craziness....

Is it just me or has the world suddenly gone crazier than usual? Just over the past week, week and a half, there have been some outlandish stories.

For example:

Dutch Catholics Label Lent the "Christian Ramadan" to Encourage Self Denial. This was found at the Catholic News Agency here. Personally, I find it highly offensive to pollute Catholicism with the barbaric beliefs of islam--a false religion and societal ideology based upon the hallucinations and machinations of a misogynistic pedophile. There are two quotes that speak to the appeasement of this murderous cult:

"The image of the Catholic Lent must be polished. The fact that we use a Muslim term is related to the fact that Ramadan is a better-known concept among young people than Lent," said Vastenaktie Director, Martin Van der Kuil, told the Daily Telegraph.

Van der Kuil believed the name change would highlight similarities between Christianity and Islam.

This guy needs to go back to school and study up on his faith--there is no similarity between Catholicism and islam. None.

Then we have this little tidbit from BBC 24:

Council Ponders Lighting Turn Off found here. This bit of insanity has this as a lead in paragraph:

Council officials in Leicestershire are looking into plans to switch off some street lighting overnight in a bid to cut costs and fight global warming.

and:

Rural villages have been suggested as possible locations to trial the authority's proposals.

and:

"It's an idea worth pursuing because we're all very keen to cut down on electricity usage nd carbon pollution.

I'm sure the criminals are salivating over all those dark areas to facilitate their crime.

But wait! There's MORE!

Speaking of global warming...

From an AP article, "Mysterious Creatures Found in Antarctica" (here) we see this:

Australian experts taking part in an international program to take a census of marine life in the ocean at the far south of the world collected specimens from up to 6,500 feet beneath the surface, and said many may never have been seen before.

Sounds reasonable so far...however, it quickly goes "south" (pun intended) with this:

The expedition is part of an ambitious international effort to map life forms in the Antarctic Ocean, also known as the Southern Ocean, and to study the impact of forces such as climate change on the undersea environment.

and wraps up with this:

Scientists are planning a follow-up expedition in 10 to 15 years to examine the effects of climate changes on the region's environment.

Yet, in the SAME SECTION of AP news, we find THIS article, "Scientists Find Devil Toad Fossil" here:

But its size - 10 pounds and 16 inches long - isn't the only curiosity. Researchers discovered the creature's bones in Madagascar. Yet it seems to be a close relative of normal-sized frogs who today live half a world away in South America, challenging assumptions about ancient geography.

There's more:

It seems to be a relative of South American horned frogs, known scientifically as Ceratophrys. Popular as pets, they're sometimes called pacman frogs for their huge mouths.

And, the wrap up:

The family link raises a paleontology puzzle: Standard theory for how the continents drifted apart show what is now Madagascar would have been long separated by ocean from South America during Beelzebufo's time. And frogs can't survive long in salt water, Krause noted.

He contends the giant frog provides evidence for competing theories that some bridge still connected the land masses that late in time, perhaps via an Antarctica that was much warmer than today. (Emphasis mine).

No, we're not finished with global warming yet!

I see over at Spree's Wake Up America an article titled "Can Someone Turn Up the Global Warming Please? I'm Freezing Over Here!". This article is chock full of links regarding the false global warming nonsense and how it's being used to fleece the world. We see in her article (Actually, I think HCDL wrote this article--yep a double check shows he did) Jerusalem has snow, the ice sheets have nearlly recovered from their mini-melt that led to such dire predictions, record cold in Asia--in short, an extremely cold winter considering the world is in the middle of a man-made global warming, climate change disaster. Here's a few teasers from his article:

Scare mongering appears to be the case, according to reports from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that reveal that almost all the allegedly “lost” ice has come back. A NOAA report shows that ice levels which had shrunk from 5 million square miles in January 2007 to just 1.5 million square miles in October, are almost back to their original levels.

Moreover, a Feb. 18 report in the London Daily Express showed that there is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than usual, challenging the global warming crusaders and buttressing arguments of skeptics who deny that the world is undergoing global warming.

and:

Did anyone hear that it's snowing in Jerusalem today, by the way? Not a very interesting news story, unless you factor in the fact that snow is a VERY unusual thing for the area. Five centimeters of snow were recorded in Jerusalem this morning, after a rare second cold front in less than a month's time came through the region, covering not only Jerusalem but the West Bank towns of Bethlehem and Hebron, while the Gaza Strip was covered by heavy rains.

Global warming causes snow in Israel? How very interesting indeed. What else is going on in the world in regards to rising temperatures?

The Daily Express reported yesterday that NOAA research shows that there is a third more ice in Antarctica this year than normal. The ice sheet between Canada and Greenland is higher than it has been in fifteen years. Snow and freezing weather have killed 120 people in Afghanistan. China has suffered snow storms so severe that migrant workers have been left stranded, transportation has suffered shut downs, there have been massive power outages over nearly half of 33 provinces due to coal shortages.

Global warming, right?

The article is great, you have GOT to go visit.

What other insanity? Well, we have Michelle Obama who, while wanting to be First Lady, has decided to follow in the footsteps of the trailer trash First Ladies such as Hillary (not the upper crust First Ladies with CLASS) by showing her true colors as to her feelings about America and how, at age 44, after a privileged life, Ivy League schools, nice home and family, she is only NOW proud of her country. Forget her color--or don't--but don't forget those blacks who came before who paved the way for her to get the education she received and all the accomplishments of Americans AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY in our history. It might have been understandable if 1) she was extremely tired and not paying attention to what she was saying; 2) just didn't think before opening her trap and inserting her foot and 3) she only said it once. HOWEVER--she said it TWICE. She needs better speechwriters. Better yet, she needs to shut up and sit down. If she wants to be a REAL First Lady instead of a trailer trash, big mouth wanna-be, she needs to shut up. Let her husband run his own damned campaign. Or is this their signal of another two-fer presidency? God help us.

Finally, the debacle in Berkley keeps getting better. I've seen this on a couple of blogs, a few emails and heard this on some talk radio shows. It seems the police in Berkley don't understand what "Protect and Serve" means. It seems several of the Code Pink whackos decided to cross the boundary lines into the Move America Forward boundaries. It also seems Code Pink whackos decided to physically assault some of the Move America Forward contingent. What do you expect from traitors, though? Our Move America Forward patriots stood firm and didn't degenerate into the violence Code Pink so obviously wanted. HOWEVER...oh you're going to love this boys and girls...THE POLICE STOOD BY WHILE THESE ASSAULTS WERE TAKING PLACE AND THEN PLACED THE MOVE AMERICA FORWARD PEOPLE UNDER ARREST--RATHER THAN THE CODE PINK ASSAULTERS. For a full description of what happened that day, go visit Move America Forward here. Personally, I'd be advising those assaulted to begin legal proceedings against the City of Berkley and the Berkley Police Department for dereliction of duty, false arrest, etc.

These are just some of the highlights of craziness...I'm sure if I wasn't so tired I'd be able to find many more examples of hypocrisy, greed, 180 degree turns and more evidence Berkley needs to be surrounded by a 15 foot high spiked fence with no entrance or exits for the animals in that zoo. Go click the links and be entertained!

God and Allah, Are They The Same?

This will be the first in a two part discussion. You must understand Islam and what it really is before you can honestly get at the answers to your questions.

Millions have been led astray because they did not take the time to find out.

In this country and around the world we have many to ‘thank’ for the ingenious deceptions and clever lies handed to us as truth, including some of our most trusted.

Do not be deceived! Discover the answers and arm yourself with the truth!


Recently a question was asked of me, “do you feel that we worship the same God as the Muslims?”
In a word, I can answer emphatically NO.

This usually generates heated discussions among both Muslims and Christians.

There seems to be a lot of confusion among Christians regarding Islam.

Do not be confused or assume anything until you have spent some time reading and discovering the answer(s) for yourself.

Like you I knew very little about Islam or Allah.

After September 11, 2001 (and supported by prior events which I won’t list here), I decided to find out what this so called “religion of peace” was all about and discover exactly who this “Allah” was.

The Arabic definition of the word Islam is submission. Islam does not mean peace.


The Arabic Word “Allah” and its Use in Christian Witness to Muslims.


Another in depth discussion titled “Blasphemizing the Bible”.


After many, many hours of study and research, the answer to the question asked above became clear to me.

Perhaps the most convincing argument came from ex-Muslims themselves. Many experts have written expose’s on the subject; however, the question still comes up in discussions.

When I hear or read about Christians stating that we should accept Islam as a religion and believe that Allah is the same God Christians worship I am appalled. It is perhaps one of the most misleading and deceptive aspects of Islam and is not without motive.

The followers of Islam would like very much for you to accept their claim and hope that you won’t take the time to find out the truth.

“Allah originally was the god of Sin( a pagan god) but changed to deity status by Mohammad. Many of my Jewish friends will state that Allah is the manifestation of evil and is inspired by Satan to deceive and lead people astray.”

It would not be possible for me to even try an attempt to convince you that my answer has merit in a few short sentences. The answer did not come to me easily as I struggled with my own misperceptions about this.

Many hours of study and research was required to gain an intellectually honest picture of what Islam is about.

I began to ask questions from people who already knew the answers but I still needed convincing to allay my fear of condemning another religion that apparently prayed to the same God I did.

“Allah is not God. Allah is the figment of Muhammad’s imagination. He was an Arab idol who had three daughters. Muhammad used this Pagan deity to advance his goal of domination. It was easier for him to use a known Pagan god than introduce a completely new one. So he said this big idol is the creator and the same god spoken by Jesus and Moses. Nothing is farther from the truth. Allah and Jehovah are not one and the same. The god of Jesus is the god of love. Allah is the god of hate.”


The fact is we don’t pray to the same God, nor is Islam even a religion as we understand it here in the west. So get that straight from the beginning.

Prior to my writing this I posed this same question to a friend who has a much more detailed and in depth knowledge of this subject. He has attempted the same thing I am many times, here is his response;

It needs to be done. My own attempts have not
borne fruit.

Problem: Monotheism.
There is only one God.
Allah is God.
Jehovah is God.
Allah & Jehovah must be the sameGod.

They can not conceive of the possibility that Allah
is an impotent idol.
The fact that Allah & his slaves are hateful
can not penetrate their fact shields.

The two theologies are diametrically opposed, it is
not possible for both to be simultaneously true.
Islam is 100% predestination,lacking free
will.

Knowing full well that this article will likely generate controversy and opposition to my stance, I will submit web site links that provide an in depth and time consumming study of Islam.

Perhaps the most telling evidence can be found in the Qu’ran(Koran) itself. This was sent to me in an e-mail from a fellow traveler and friend;


Qur'an 5:72 "They are surely infidels who blaspheme and say: 'Godis Christ, the Messiah, the son of Mary.' But the Messiah only said: 'OChildren of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord."


Qur'an 5:73 "They are surely disbelievers who blaspheme and say: 'God is one of three in the Trinity for there is no Ilah (God) except One, Allah. If they desist not from saying this (blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall them - the disbelievers will suffer a painful doom."


Qur'an 5:75 "The Messiah, Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger;many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had to eat their food. See how Allah does make His signs clear to them;yet see in what ways they are deluded!"


Qur'an 5:116 "And behold! Allah will say: 'O Jesus, the son of Mary!Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' He will say: 'Glory to You! Never could I utter what I had no right."



Before I begin this list I must ask you some questions.

Can you spend the time to study and read the many articles listed at these web sites?
Will you read with an open mind and in an honest attempt to find the truth?
Will you pray sincerely for enlightenment from the God of Abraham?


Non-Christians, secularists, anti-God, etc., etc. will challenge this article but this isn’t for them. If you don’t believe in God or have a limited knowledge of Christianity do not attempt to confuse this discussion with your diatribe.
Having said that I know there are those arrogant and ignorant enough to try.

So I will issue a warning. You get one chance to make an intellectually honest comment, failure to do so will result in banning any further reponses from you. Period.

Not fair? Infringing on your freedom of speech rights?
Go tell it to someone who will sympathize. I will not.

My beliefs will not be compromised nor will I make concessions to you.

In fact I don’t really care what argument you may bring, I have heard them all before. Nothing you can say will convince me I am wrong in my beliefs.

If on the other hand you desire to know the truth and can be open minded then read on.Those of us that know the answers have a moral obligation to inform and perhaps educate. But it is up to you the reader to put in the time to study.


Reading is only a very small part of the solution. To achieve understanding you must also have a high percentage of comprehension.

This article is not for the “drive-by’s” who assume they will get their answer in 10 minutes or who may attempt to discredit this article. Nothing you can bring to the discussion will sway me to change my view. Many have tried….they failed miserably.

I’ve been threatened with everything including death and will NOT concede….EVER.
I will not submit and will not accept Islam in any way.
So don’t waste my time or your’s.

The first site is one I have used extensively for research over the years.

Here then is the opening statement from FaithFreedom.org ;



"O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith." (Quran. 5:101-102)

Faith Freedom International is a grassroots movement of those who asked prohibited questions and on that account lost their faith. We came to see that Islam is a hoax, an imperialistic ideology, disguised as religion, invented by a narcissist for his own personal gains. We found out that Muhammad was a conman, a ventriloquist who projected his own words into his imaginary dummy deity to fool the gullible. With a promise of a carnal and orgiastic paradise (just for men) and threat of hell he goaded his foolhardy followers to raid and slay innocent people under pretext that they were infidels.

He and his merry band of terrorists looted villages and cities, raped the women, and enslaved all who were not killed outright. To this day, Muslim jihadis are following the footsteps of their prophet who bragged, "I have been made victorious with terror" . No other cause is responsible for more deaths than Islam.

Our goal is to expose this religion of terror and warn of its danger. We also want to help Muslims see the absurdity of it, end their "us" vs. "them" ethos and embrace the human race in amity.

No one is their enemy; it is they who are the enemy to everyone else. We strive for the unity of mankind through the elimination of Islam, the most insidious doctrine of hate. Humanity is one. Let not charlatans like Hitler and Muhammad divide us with their big lies.

Islam can't be reformed, but it can be eradicated. It can't be molded, but it can be smashed. It is rigid, but brittle. That is why Muslims can't tolerate criticism of it. To eradicate Islam, all we have to do is tell the truth. It's that simple. This was not possible before, but with the help of the Internet, it is now. The insanity of this creed is so glaringly obvious, it boggles the mind. All it takes to see that is to read the Qur’an.

The truth about Islam is out. It's here on this site. With truth and reason alone we can demolish this tall tower of lies. If you help spread the truth we can bring this house of cards down sooner than anyone can imagine. With truth, the decent Muslims will leave Islam and with each Muslim who leaves, we gain a new soldier in our fight against terrorism.

We are growing exponentially. The days of Islam are numbered and better days are ahead. Many of us will see that day. Meanwhile, we may have to go through dreadful times. A storm is approaching. It will wipe out Islam, but it will also destroy millions of lives in its path. We can avoid this Armageddon if we stop lying. Islam is not a religion of peace. It is evil.

It is a dangerous cult of death and terror. The proof is here. Let us tell the truth. Save lives, not lies.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. Do something and save the world. To become a soldier in this army of light, all you have to do is face the truth.

This site exists to help. Help spread the truth. Let it reach the world. It will do its
work.

Warning:

Dear Muslim: If you love your faith and want to keep it, leave this site NOW. We have set thousands of Muslims free. Some of them were more faithful and moreknowledgeable than you. Many of them are now helping other Muslims in their journey to freedom.
Truth is very powerful and you may not have the strength to resist it. This site has the potential to undo Islam. This is no hyperbole. It is a reality that is already happening. A silent revolution is taking place, unprecedented in history. If you don't leave Islam, chances are that your children will.

The sun of truth has dawned. Your only chance to remain a Muslim is to keep your head deep in the sand. The more you learn the truth the more you will lose your faith.

Truth will set you free, but if you fear freedom leave this site NOW. However, if you feel valiant, meet my challenge and I will remove this site.

Follow the clickable links below the statement at the web site to continue your truth seeking journey. Please allow time to read and comprehend. The answer(s) is(are)there.

My suggestion would be to start at the FAQ section but you are free to choose any starting point.

To further your education please visit the following as well;Prophet of Doom. There are 25 chapters including the opening Letter to the Reader, a prologue, epilogue, a list of sources and bibliography.

An essential site established by one of our own that will assist you in your studies; Crusader’s-Armory: Quran

Ex-Muslim’s in their own words; Apostates of Islam

To understand a little about my beliefs you may want to visit this site; Abrahamic Faith
“Its a package, take it and be guaranteed eternity with Him or remain outside to suffer eternally. Choice is clear, either you have the Son or you have nothing!”


There are no easy answers but the answers are there if you are diligent and faithful.


This is not about shunning Muslims or condemning them, in fact, as Christians we should pray for their enlightenment and discovery of the truth.


God will provide answers if you will but allow Him some of your precious time and pray often with sincerety and an open mind.

May the God of Abraham bless you in your journey to the light.

Shalom.

"Blow up the Danish embassies and kill the ambassadors"

The Danish protests, which started before the reprinting of the controversial Muhammed cartoons and quickly spread to other Muslim countries after the cartoons were republished, has led to Hamas,calling for the attack Danish embassies and diplomats.

Last week, here at Wake up America, we reported the continuing rioting in Denmark and followed up with the spread of protesting into Iran, Kuwait and The Gaza Strip.

Today we see reports of Iranian lawmakers urging the president to review ties with Denmark and the Netherlands because of the reprinting of the Muhammed cartoons that caused massive protests when they were first released over two years ago.

In a letter to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, some 215 MPs in Iran's 290-seat assembly said Iran should review trade and political links with Denmark and the Netherlands to respond to "an anti-Islamic and Islamophobic current" in the two countries.

"We, representatives of the honourable Iranian nation, condemn this devil measure. We ask the president ... to seriously review Iran's political and trade ties with these countries," the lawmakers wrote in the letter, state radio said.

Hamas, the Islamic group that controls the Gaza Strip calls for more violent methods of protesting by urging the Muslim faithful to attack Danish embassies and Diplomats.

Abu Abir, spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), spoke at a news conference in Gaza Square, called for Islamic fighters to "Blow up the Danish embassies and kill the ambassadors", the further went on to encourage them to "track down those who printed the cartoons, those who drew them and those who published them and slaughter them immediately"

In the meantime, the riots continue for the eighth day in Denmark, resulting so far in the arrests of dozen immigrant youths and hundreds of cars and a number of schools burned or vandalized in the past week.

In a very strange assertion, the police actually state that "unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed," to the reasons for these riots, completely ignoring that the riots started right after the arrest of the three men that were plotting to kill the cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, that created the most controversial of the twelve original cartoons in 2005, the one depicting Muhammed with a bomb-shaped turban and a burning fuse.

Now head over to Malkin's site where she provides a list of Danish products that can be bought in her "Buy Danish" campaign which she started in 2006.
