MUS-LIM = GOOD AMERICAN?

while perusing the merry widow blog this morning on her rick warren, purported drivel lies, post, i came across this most interesting statement within the link at moriel ministries:

"Can A Muslim Be A Good American?

Food for thought. Interesting questions for the Muslim Community to discuss.

Research for the rest of us.

Can a good Muslim be a good American?

I forwarded that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.

The following is his forwarded reply:

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia.

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot coexist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.

You had better believe it.

If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above statements, perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.

The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.

So, do you feel lucky today? Vote for a Muslim or Muslim sympathizer for Congress or President, where they will have access to issues of our national security and intelligence which they can then pass on to their Imam who will then funnel it to Islamic terrorists. What good will a wall across our entire border with Mexico do when we vote them into office."

this article is chock full of great links and information - kudos to tmw for sniffing this one out!

now, if you're here to find out just who's in charge - check the post below this one.

BREAKING NEWS FROM DRUDGE (all emphasis mine)

"PETA TO AL GORE: YOU CAN’T BE A MEAT-EATING ENVIRONMENTALIST
Tue Mar 06 2007 17:08:05 ET

The Most ‘Inconvenient Truth’: According to U.N., Animals Raised for Food Generate More Greenhouse Gases Than All Cars and Trucks Combined

Norfolk, Va. — This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux “fried chicken” as an introduction to meat-free meals. In its letter, PETA points out that Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth—which starkly outlines the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming and just won the Academy Award for “Best Documentary”—has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions.

In the letter, PETA points out the following:

· The effect that our meat addiction is having on the climate is truly staggering. In fact, in its recent report “Livestock’s Long Shadow—Environmental Issues and Options,” the United Nations determined that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.

· Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius.

PETA also reminds Gore that his critics love to question whether he practices what he preaches and suggests that by going vegetarian, he could cut down on his contribution to global warming and silence his critics at the same time.

“The single best thing that any of us can do to for our health, for animals, and for the environment is to go vegetarian,” says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. “The best and easiest way for Mr. Gore to show his critics that he’s truly committed to fighting global warming is to kick his meat habit immediately.”"

i'm not so sure this isn't a very good time to have a bee-ell-tee.

tell me why else we should raise animals? with the exception of our pets? these freaky, tofu-fluffin' fairies have got a point - they're going after al! what could be better than this? well, except last week when they were going after the trappist monks in south carolina...

al, come on - PUT DOWN THE FORK!

WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?

it appears that for as long as eighteen months, a contractor has been filtering out some publications from our military.

"Readers of WorldNetDaily have confirmed that the filters for all U.S. Marine and U.S. Navy computers started blocking the leading independent news site at least 18 months ago, and they believe it's unlikely that it is a simple technical glitch, because the addresses www.WND.com and www.WorldNetDaily.com, which lead to the same site, were blocked at different times."

is there a good reason for this? why no mention of leftwing publications targeted for this censorship?

"Another reader, whose name also was withheld by WND, told the news site he has spent time working for Electronic Data Systems, the principal contractor running NMCI for the Navy and Marine bases.

He wrote that he realized some time ago he was unable to reach WND.

"There are many times in our network when outside issues prevent us from reaching sites. Therefore I was not overly concerned initially; but after a week or so of attempting to reach the website I determined that it must have been purposefully blocked," he said.

He noted that an admiral gave orders for Yahoo news to be unblocked about that time. "I thought it was terribly odd that Yahoo could be unblocked but not WorldNetDaily."

if this be so, there are simple ways to turn off blockers - jeeeesh. something just doesn't wash here - perhaps the experts could weigh in?

FOR BEER DRINKERS ONLY!

i know how y'all feel about jimmuh - but credit must be given where credit is due.

on october 14, 1978, jimmuh cawtuh, a somewhat former president of these disunited states, signed into law "HR1377", whereby prohibition was nipped in the red nose.

because of the lack of substance in the news we've been forced to watch other, somewhat more interesting programs out of our 120 channel cable line-up.

while watching the history channel this morning - programming included moonshining, bootlegging and a special on home brewing. this is when i found out about our aforementioned former, somewhat potus, link to homebrewing BEER!

it seems dan quayle didn't much cotton to the idea - but, hey - he cannot even spell potato, so wouldn't even know or care how to make vodka!

one must wonder if billy had anything to do with this...

SICK OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH POST!

in scanning the multitudes of news sources available to us, it's amazing what's been going on in the last two weeks since "night of the living bimbo" took over the airwaves.

for instance:

perhaps cheney is in australia taking leadership lessons from p.m. howard?

students in iran do not like u.s.

david geffen put the hillbillies in their place in favor of another leftist.

and, if you think syria's not a problem, think again - it seems they want to have dialogue - chat, so to speak.

or, you may ask yourself why 50% of palis in the west bank and gaza are going hungry? guess you cannot eat weaponry bought with foreign aid...who knew?

if those don't float your boat - visit these blogs (apologies to all those whose blogs i don't mention):

brooke's

cube's

daddio's

or for some spiritual fare:

tmw's

but, please, please do not get me started on why britney didn't slip with the clippers and cut her entire head off! if you ask me, she lost her head a very long time ago.

hat tips all around!

BEWARE OF CHARITABLE ORGS!

By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst at white house & world news:

"WASH—Feb 14—KIN-- The federal government is opening grade schools in the U.S. aimed at teaching Arabic, tolerance for Islam and cultural diversity. The Department of Education is establishing an Arabic language and culture school in New York City that will begin classes in September. According to Fox News and the New York Times, the school principal Debbie Almontaser says, "We are wholeheartedly looking to attract as many diverse students as possible, because we really want to give them the opportunity to expand their horizons and be global citizens…I also see Arab-American students who would want the opportunity to learn Arabic, to read it and write it and have a better understanding of where their ancestors have come from."

upon further investigation i found that none other than bill gates is the benefactor of this american travesty.

bill and melinda gates foundation wants "is to make sure that all people—no matter where they live—get the chance to live a healthy, productive life. Two recent articles in the Los Angeles Times have raised questions about whether we should spend time evaluating companies and shifting our investments away from the ones that get a low score on some ranking criteria. We want to make it clear why the foundation focuses on our grantmaking, rather than on such evaluations, and we want to explain Bill and Melinda’s investment philosophy.

The most important thing a foundation does is choose a limited set of issues and develop expertise in them. Bill and Melinda have identified areas in which they think our grantmaking can help solve complex, entrenched problems that affect billions of people—like the AIDS and malaria epidemics, extreme poverty, and the poor state of American high schools."

THE POOR STATE OF AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOLS?!?!

sooooooooooooo, the way to improve our schools is to teach our children arabic? i guess this wouldn't seem so ironic to me if i didn't see dhimmitude coming.

this is what happens when one has more money than G-d! it's true - it is far easier for a camel to slide through the eye of a needle than a rich man make it into heaven. bill, please take your head from the dark place - there are far better ways to help the "poor state of our high schools"...

i'm not one to tell people what to do with their money, but if you're going to be charitable - remember this: CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!

ATTENTION ALL BLOGGERS!

i received the following e-mail from dave gaubatz (see "churchill of the week #2 at "curtains") this evening:

To all,

"Many people have contacted me asking how they can help fight the war on terrorism. Today I am asking for assistance. A couple of days ago 5 people were murdered in Salt Lake City, Ut (Trolley Square). The murderer was an 18 year old (Sulejman Talovic). He is originally from Bosnia and is Muslim. The FBI in a matter of hours released statements indicating there is no link to terrorism. The FBI often takes years to solve some investigations, yet suddenly they are near completion in a few hours. I routinely monitor Al Jazeera and other such websites. Indeed there are Bosnian Muslims living in Utah who provide their insight on the blogs. Many do support Al-Qaeda and the ideology.

Kirsten Hinkley was killed by Talovic. She was only 15 years old. Does she not deserve we know for 100% if her murder did indeed stem from a terrorist act? Fox news contacted me today from SLC, UT. They wanted me to speak about the FBI immediately assuming their was no terror link. I agreed. Now Fox is receiving political pressure to not pursue this. Why? Because the truth may upset the American people. There may be hostilities toward the Bosnian Muslims or other Muslims. I do not want any hostilities, I want Kirsten Hinkley & the other victims deaths to be completely investigated and for all of us to know the truth. If Talovic did have ties to terrorist groups we need to know.

Assistance requested: Contact Fox News at 801-973-5423 and request they follow through with my interview. Contact the SLC newspapers and other media. Once interviewed I will provide more reasoning's why there is a possible link to terrorism. If everyone recalls my recent article on "terrorist sleeper cells" you will understand why I ask your assistance. Malls in Utah are no safer than malls in Virginia, Kentucky, California, Michigan, or any other state. Thank you, Dave Gaubatz

Does Kirsten Hinkley deserve our support? I think she does."

contact dave here.

please read this and this.

we need to know why NOBODY wants to cover this obvious story. thank you to all who wish to link to this. this has also been posted at "curtains". there is no time like the present to share information with one another.

while i did have another six or two "oh boo" moments to share - this superceded those which i will share at some later date...oh boo...

"oh boo" moment #1627.3

ever need some levity in your life?

here awhile back - no wait - it was last night, while in the midst of a hot game of "trivial pursuit", and as usual i was tuned to the evening news - there was a segment on the "peta" people and their latest "take your clothes off for animals in order to slam the president" campaign - of course they were covering the little lady's hangers with stars or something and nancpop asked nancson, "have you noticed just how ugly the women on the left are?"

nancson pondered this question for a moment or four and laughingly blurted out, "oh, come on, pop - what about that little sex kitten - JANET RENO?!?"

...he'll soon be going for a visual check-up and if that doesn't work, the surgical eye removal plan may be in the works...

PLEASE TAKE IT HOME!

this is america!

"DEARBORN, MI, United States (UPI) -- Tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims in Iraq are echoing in Dearborn, Mich., and other communities.

'The Shiites were very happy that they killed Saddam (Hussein), but the Sunnis were in tears,' Aqeel Al-Tamimi, a Shiite Iraqi immigrant in Dearborn, told The New York Times. 'These people look at us like we sold our country to America.'

Dearborn`s Shiite mosques have had their windows shattered twice recently, the newspaper reported. Members of the Shiite community blamed the Sunni Muslims.

'A microcosm of what is happening in Iraq happened in New Jersey because people couldn`t put aside their differences,' said Sami Elmansoury, a Sunni Muslim and former vice president of the Islamic Society at Rutgers University, where there have been major tensions between Muslim students.

Experts told the Times that the growing population as well as the Iraq war has contributed to the tension. Decades ago Sunnis and Shiites had to get along because the Muslim population was so small that most communities had one mosque. The Muslim population has grown in many communities, and many Muslim students don`t meet someone from the other branch until they get to college, the newspaper said."

time for u.s. to take over a middle eastern country so that we may have a homeland.

from jan markell, at olive tree ministries to link to the full article:

Ahmadinejad, Ayatollahs, and the Apocalypse

"I have a concern: The West is not taking Iran's Ahmadinejad seriously enough. The West, including Washington, does not know that Islam is as excited--if not more excited--about the return of their "messiah" as some Christians are about ours. Iran is apocalypticaly apoplectic. Official Iranian radio has completed broadcasting a lengthy series on the imminent appearance of their messianic figure who will defeat Islam's enemies and impose Islamic Shiite rule over the entire world.

"Be joyous my heart, miracles of the Messiah will soon be here," reads a poem used to conclude the first broadcast. "The scent of breaths of the One we know comes near. Grieve not or sorrow . . . a savior will come, it is clear."

After the coming of the 12th imam, or Mahdi, "liberal democratic civilization" will be found only in history museums, stated the program. So much for the Islamic world wanting the democracy we keep offering them.

At times the statements seem to jump out of the book of Revelation. One TV program stated, "In short, when he reappears, peace, justice, and security will overcome oppression and deceit and one global government, the most perfect ever, will be established." The Mahdi will appear suddenly in Mecca. The Shiites are told that no one can know the day or hour of the Islamic messiah's return. Sound familiar?

It gets more intense. In a greeting to the world's Christians for this new year, Iranian President Ahmadinejad said he expects both Jesus and the Mahdi to return and "wipe away repression."

While some of this sounds bizarre, see it for its seriousness. Ahmadinejad's mystical preoccupation with the coming of the Mahdi is raising concerns that a nuclear-armed Republic of Iran could easily trigger the kind of global conflagration he envisions. The Iranian President sees his main mission to "pave the path for the glorious reappearance of Imam Mahdi."...

there is also a petition to the ununited nations (for all the good it will do) at aish if you'd like to stand up to this nutjob, along with a two-plus minute video - well worth your time.

Many Thanks

As most of you know its been a trying week for me.

I've been shot at when I was unarmed, had a straight razor held against my throat and had my life threatened by a mob that couldn't quite work up enough nerve to do anything as long as I was armed with a pocket knife.

But I've never felt as scared or helpless as when my wife looked me in the eyes and the only thing she could say was "please help me".

The Verdict is still out on whether it was a stroke or a reaction to an anti-nausea drug but they are leaning toward a drug reaction. That's fine with me, it will be a lot easier to make sure she never has another dose of that medication that to go through some form of surgery or therapy for an organic problem.

We are home and she seems back to normal.

I wish to thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and support.

MEMO TO THE COMMUNITY

TO: The Community

FROM: your fearless leader by proxy, baby nanc duvalier, her nancness

i never realized how tiring this leader business could be - a nap after every earthshattering decision - i wasn't getting a thing done!

everyone questioning my every motive, backing me into a corner proved too much - EVEN FOR ME!

therefore, i appoint THE MERRY WIDOW (former secretary to the inferior) as our new leader until warren returns to assume his duties in a capacity most worthy of "The Community".

thank goodness i did get the longrange name change in before my retirement. you people are brutal, brutal i tell you...now i must have another nap...

in the event tmw cannot fulfill her obligations here, always will attend to her duties. after that, the leader chain will be broken and we'll be taking applications for serious leaders.

thank you for your patience in these most serious matters.

Memo To The Community

From: Secretary to Warren of Longrange
To: The Community


As personal matters have caused me to absent myself from my leadership duties, and I have no desire to see "The Community" suffer due to this absence. I hereby designate Nanc of Longrange and Curtains as the temporary head of "The Community". All decisions shall be deferred to her for answers and arbitration as necessary. I ask that all members of "The Community" consult her on all matters that need the decisions of higher authority.

As soon as possible I will return and resume my duties. Thank you for your cooperation during this time of uncertainty.

Secretary to Warren of Longrange (THE Leader of THIS Community)

addendum: If you are not a member of the "The Community" aforementioned, carry on. We don't have time for dawdlers.

"oh boo" moment #2007.90

for those of you er...um...fortunate - yeah, fortunate - enough to have two or more teens in the home at the same exact times, this is for you. for those of you who don't, you may wish to reconsider having children. and, for those of you with small children in your home, G-d be with you.

at the moment, i'm relishing the thought of peace and quiet for the next eight hours as a war was started at the bus stop this morning, and the remainder of the war will resume at 4:00 p.m.

our kids are really great - separately - and most of the time are one another's staunchest ally - heaven forbid another would pick on them. they are each other's worst enemy at others. this concept is lost on us at mine and nancpop's ages as we get along spectacularly and have tried to set harmonious examples. although we're not perfect and they have seen a few heated moments between us, not enough to warrant their behaviour towards each other on occasion. this morning was one of THOSE occasions.

while sitting at the bus stop this morning, making small talk, i said to evan, "i'm going to make you an appointment at the beauty shop to......." and nancson interrupted, "what are you doing, taking her in for an estimate?"

...oh boo...

fourteen is an awkward age for a girl - nothing is quite right in their world. bad hair, crooked (or so they think) teeth, weight (even though built like barbie should be), a blemish, friend problems, and the list goes on and on.

i know this little girl and she IS NOT going to let this drop...oh, no she won't and it WILL get ugly. jesse, of course, will forget all about it and be on to his next slam, but evan will be storing up all day.

oh, how i remember being a young girl with a brother...

Saudis increase oil production

Bloomberg.com: Canada

Saudi Statements

Prices fell in early trading after Saudi Arabia's Oil Minister, Ali al-Naimi, said his country has 3 million daily barrels of spare capacity and will push ahead with projects to expand output. Oil futures plunged yesterday after al-Naimi said he saw no need for an emergency OPEC meeting to consider further cuts in output.

"The Saudis are saying that they don't want to be the swing producer," said Bill O'Grady, director of fundamental futures research at A.G. Edwards & Sons Inc. in St. Louis. "The Saudis have made substantial cuts, unlike a lot of the other OPEC members. Oil in a $40 to $50 range suits the Saudis much better than oil at $70."

You may be asking what this means.

Think about it in this light:
Iran exports about 2.5 million barrels of oil daily.

Iran has threatened to cut off export oil production if The US attacks or does anything to "undermine" Iran.

Iran has, essentially, no other export.

The Iranians have a big economic problem and need to keep oil prices high to fill the gaps in their economy.

The Saudis worry about loosing their power in the Middle East to Iran and its radical Shiite mullahs and aren't exactly thrilled with the idea of a nuclear Iran.

FINALLY, PBS IS GIVING TAXPAYERS THEIR DUE!

looks like must-see television at pbs-KCET on january 8, 10:00 p.m. (unknown what time zone) in the form of a documentary entitled "Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: The Resurgence".

perhaps pbs has received a message loud and clear - people have been tired of their tax dollars going to a left-wing media outlet which is, btw, called "public broadcasting station" for a reason.

you may have to check your local listings to see if this program is available in your area.

i've given the public broadcasting station a hard time in the past - mostly because it is a viewer sponsored outlet AND the government endows them with quite a large sum of money also.

now, to me - and correct me if i'm wrong - but, wouldn't that be the same as GIVING a welfare mother with one child an EXTRA four hundred and some odd dollars a month besides what she gets from the government?

The Death of Saddam

The tyrant of Baghdad is dead and the far left uses this opportunity to, once more, show us their Bush derangement syndrome in its full flower. The DU, Huffington Post and Daily Kos are virtual cess pits bemoaning the death of the poor misunderstood Saddam. Their moonbat editorialists and commenters crying for GWB, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney to suffer similar fates.

If nothing else, their paranoiac cult's behavior, deepens my belief that these traitors represent a greater danger to our country than all of the terrorists combined.

Relatively few will mourn the execution of Saddam. Undoubtedly our Moonbats will represent the largest percentage.

Justice should be served even if justice is unobtainable. In order for Saddams crimes to be balanced on those scales, hundreds of thousands of Saddams would be needed. They would be shot, maimed, have their tongues cut out, torchered to death, fed into shredders feet first, gassed, raped, ad nausem.

Since there was only one Saddam, the Iraqis tried him, sentenced him and hung him. They were even humane, instead of the short drop and strangulation that is the norm for the Middle East, and can last up to a half hour as the executed fights for breath and dances on the end of a rope, they opted for the high drop with a proper noose and knot and a broken neck.

It may not be true or total justice but justice was served.
