Israel says time is running out and Leon Panetta says Israel could attack Iran as early as April. As all this unfolds the Obama administration cautions our greatest ally Israel rather than Iran.

Just days after 9/11 on September 13, 2001, then-Senator Hillary Clinton stated during an interview on the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather,

“Every nation has to either be with us, or against us.  Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.”

President George W. Bush elaborated those words on September 20, 2001; during an address to a joint session of Congress,

“Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”

Bush went a little further and in simple terms explained what he meant,

“They want to overthrow existing governments in many Muslim countries, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East. They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa.”

During his State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, Bush named terrorist groups,

“Our military has put the terror training camps of Afghanistan out of business, yet camps still exist in at least a dozen countries. A terrorist underworld — including groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-i-Mohammed — operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in the centers of large cities.”

Three out of four of the groups he named, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad all have one thing in common. They are all funded, supplied and trained by Iran.

Failure to recognize the danger that Iran poses to both Israel and the United States is one of those things that Obama and his administration are quite good at, either by design, or total ignorance.  I don’t think it’s ignorance.  He professes to be a ‘Christian’, but all of his actions are anti-Christian.  True Christians will stand WITH Israel against her enemies, and what greater enemy than one who has declared the intent to totally destroy her.

From the NKJV:

Exodus 23:30-33
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
31 And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

From The Torah:

Exodus 23:30-33
30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you have increased and possess the land
31 I will set your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of Philistia and from the wilderness to the Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and you will drive them out before you.
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
33 They shall not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me; for you serve their gods – and it will prove a snare to you.

Now, I won’t swear to it, but I’m fairly sure this is an accurate description of the land given to the Hebrews. I’m pretty sure the Arabs know this, but don’t much like the idea. There are a lot of squatters in land that was given to them, way back when. The Sea of Philistia, if I’m not mistaken, is what we call the Mediterranean. The Sea of Reeds, well, that would be the Red Sea as stated in the Old Testament.

Even back then, it really wasn’t a huge plot of land, but compared to what they have today, well, it was HUGE.

All Israel wants is to live in peace, to protect her people, and defend herself against her enemies. I don’t think that is asking too much.  She is surrounded by enemies.  Little Big Horn comes to mind.

As a Christian nation, we are obliged to stand with her, not with her enemies. Thanks to Obama and his cronies, liberals who have done their best to remove God from all aspects of our lives, we are no longer a blessed nation. The current government has turned its back on our closet ally in the area. Unless we turn our faces back to God, we will be a nation ‘gone under’.  Israel doesn’t need our permission to do a darn thing.  She doesn’t need the backing of the United Nations.  She has the backing of a MUCH greater Power!

Thousands are dead in Syria, with more blood spilled each day. Iran is within arm’s reach of a nuclear weapon, threatening Israel’s very existence. And in Egypt, 19 Americans are banned from leaving the country, making them veritable hostages in an unfriendly land. All indications are that the Middle East is crumbling, and President Barack Obama’s foreign policy is collapsing right along with it.

First look toward Homs, Syria — ground zero in the 11-month-old uprising against the brutal government of Bashar al-Assad, which is unleashing death upon its people minute by minute and hour by hour. The United Nations estimates that Assad’s regime has killed more than 5,000 anti-government protesters in the last 11 months, with 200 killed on Friday night alone. The Arab League has stationed observers in country, whose mission was to oversee compliance with a peace plan. That failed.

The Obama Administration rushed to the United Nations Security Council and attempted to pass a resolution calling for Assad to step aside. Predictably, China and Russia laid down a veto. On Monday, the United States finally closed the doors to its embassy in Damascus and withdrew the diplomatic staff over continuing security concerns. Meanwhile, intelligence experts are examining the risk of terrorists gaining control of Syria’s weapons stockpiles should the Assad regime fall.

To the east in Iran, the regime’s full-steam-ahead pursuit of nuclear weapons is reaching a crescendo, with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently remarking that the country could build a bomb within one year and have the means for delivering it one or two years later.

Finally, in Egypt, officials there published a list of 43 people, including 19 Americans, accused of interfering in Egypt’s internal politics. They are not allowed to leave the country and could soon be brought to trial on claims that they illegally funded political groups in Egypt’s parliamentary elections. Heritage’s James Phillips explains that “they have become hostages in a much larger struggle: the struggle for freedom in Egypt against an unholy alliance between Egypt’s transitional military government and the Islamist political parties who will soon assume power.”

President Obama and members of his Cabinet tried to reach Egyptian leaders on the matter, but in the words of Lorne Craner, head of the pro-democracy organization IRI, “things are getting worse . . . We are all scratching our heads over here. I did two tours at State and one at the [National Security Council]. If the president called someone, something gets worked out.” But as was the case under President Jimmy Carter, the White House appears helpless while Americans are held captive.

None of these crises occurs in a vacuum — except for the vacuum of a cogent U.S. strategy for dealing with these ever-worsening conditions. Since President Obama took office, he has pursued a diplomatic strategy of charm and restraint: attempting to broker peace between Israel and Palestine, engaging with Syria and Iran, and withdrawing from Iraq. Now we are seeing the results.

The international rogue that is Iran continues to rise, along with its threat to the world. Thousands are dead in Syria under a brutal dictator while the international community is serving up effete condemnations. America’s ally Israel appears ready to take matters into its own hands in order to ensure its survival, while prospects for peace with Palestine remain dim. U.S. citizens are trapped in Egypt as anti-Western Islamists seek to consolidate their power. And Iraq’s once-peaceful prospects have been marred by one terrorist attack after another after America’s military forces departed.  Obama has failed at every turn to safeguard U.S. interests in the region or take effective proactive initiatives to deal with threat of rising extremism and spiraling violence that could lead to regional conflict.

There are actions the United States can and should take. Phillips explains that in Syria,  “the best assistance that the United States can give to ease the suffering of Syrians is to help speed the fall of the Assad regime.” And it can do it by working with European allies, Turkey, and Arab states to escalate sanctions, provide humanitarian relief to refugees, and provide diplomatic and economic support for the Syrian opposition — while holding back from military intervention.

To address Israel and Iran, Phillips and James Carafano advise that the United States must have a clear and unambiguous policy that it will protect itself and its interests.

As for Egypt, Phillips writes that America should “freeze U.S. foreign aid to Cairo and give Egypt’s new leaders an ultimatum: free the American hostages or permanently lose U.S. foreign aid and any American help in refinancing Egypt’s burdensome national debt.”

More broadly, President Obama must fundamentally change course toward the Middle East. His policy of engagement has not worked, and the world is seeing the results. The Middle East is crumbling, and an ineffectual and inert Obama Administration is leading from behind with a foreign policy that has entirely failed to cope with the rapidly devolving conditions along the Mediterranean’s southeastern shores and beyond, with consequences reaching around the world.

Blacklist (n.): a list of persons who are disapproved of or are to be punished or boycotted.

The definition above, from an old Webster’s dictionary, was common parlance in the late 1940s and early 1950s as the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee investigated subversive activity, Soviet espionage and pro-communist propaganda. The committee unearthed spies and traitors — Alger Hiss among them. But when the HUAC turned its attention to Hollywood writers, directors and actors, civil libertarians cried foul. The American Civil Liberties Union and others insist those on the “Hollywood blacklist” were unfairly persecuted for exercising their constitutionally protected rights to freedom of assembly and speech.

Now there’s a new-millennium blacklist for American patriots who fail today’s political correctness test. Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, a highly decorated special operations soldier with 36 years of service in uniform, is the newest name on the roster. The silence from the “civil liberties lobby” is deafening.

It often is said that our soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardsmen and Marines serve to “protect our freedoms” and “defend our liberties.” All true. Now consider what took place this week at the United States Military Academy at West Point — an institution responsible for training young men and women to protect America from those who mean us harm. West Point cadets take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” and to “bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Many West Point graduates will deploy to fight radical Islamists who commit acts of terror against Americans and our allies.

I expressed my disgust, as politely as I could, here.  Organizations like CAIR and the ACLU are working overtime to destroy a once great, and Godly, nation.  Unless we reverse this trend, there will be no United States of America.  The erosion of our 1st Amendment rights may provoke the use of our 2nd Amendment rights!

Ezekiel 33:1-6

The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced Monday night that it had successfully prevented retired Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin from speaking at an upcoming prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

“We welcome Mr. Boykin’s withdrawal from this event and hope that the speaker who replaces him will offer cadets a spiritual message that promotes tolerance and mutual understanding,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement.

When are we going to stop bowing to this terrorist front group????

West Point initially balked at the calls to remove Boykin — a former military intelligence officer — from the event.

Lt. Col. Sherri Reed of West Point told The Associated Press that cadets are “purposefully exposed to different perspectives and cultures.”

I can well understand why our future military officers would be exposed to “different perspectives and cultures”.  Wasn’t it Sun Tzu who said “Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.”  Since we ARE fighting against Islam, who declared war on us a long time ago, our young men and women need to know all they can about the ‘enemy’.

“The National Prayer Breakfast Service will be pluralistic with Christians, Jewish, and Muslim cadets participating,” Reed said. “We are comfortable and confident that what retired Lt. Gen. Boykin will share about prayer, soldier care and selfless service, will be in keeping with the broad range of ideas normally considered by our cadets.”

I’d really like to know why there are Muslims at West Point, and in our military in the first place. Would FDR have allowed Nazis to sign up? Would West Point have accepted Brown Shirts? I see no difference in the two! Muslims were allies of the Nazis, and yet, here we are, trying to suck up to a group that would see our demise.

CAIR and the group VoteVets.org pushed hard for a retraction of Boykin’s invitation to the event due to his “Islamophobic” views.

CAIR and People For the American Way failed to stop a speech Boykin gave in Ocean City, Md., last week. This week it seems they have been successful.

I am completely disgusted that this Lt General would cave to the enemy since they evidently failed from intimidating him previously.  Muslims and socialists working together to silence him, and many others, should give EVERYONE pause!

Thirty-five Christians have been jailed in Saudi Arabia for worshiping in their own homes according to a recent report. The news only surfaced this week that the Christians have been imprisoned for over a month.

Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern says it is no wonder that Christians there worship in their homes because of the danger they face.

“In Saudi Arabia there is no church,” says the ICC spokesman. “There is no other place of worship other than mosques — so the Christians in Saudi Arabia only gather at their private homes to worship. And when they worship, as you can see in this particular example, they could also be arrested.”

Using Bing search engine, there are 29,400,000 hits for “Christian persecution in Saudi Arabia“.  That’s TWENTY NINE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND.  This from a country that is supposedly an ‘ally’.  I’m afraid I cannot consider any country run by Muslims an ally of the United States of America.  I also am more than disturbed by the continuous importing of Muslims by our government to our country.  Search for “Christian persecution in the United States“, and the number is even more disturbing… 150,000,000….ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION!  That is more than 5 times the number in the supposed Land of the Free.

Visitors to Saudi Arabia are not allowed to bring in Bibles, wear Crucifixes, and I’m fairly sure, the Star of David is a no no as well.  I guess I won’t ever be going there, will I, considering I carry a Bible with me everywhere I go, and this doesn’t leave my neck!  I wonder how long it will be before I am banned from wearing it in the U.S.?  When will Bibles and Tanuchs be banned?  Organizations such a CAIR have our officials on the run for doing nothing more than telling the truth.

The saddest thing, and most dangerous, is the idea that Islam is a religion of peace.  No.  It.  Is.  NOT!  There is nothing peaceful about forced conversions, or brutalizing women and children.  The contradictions of what is said, and what is taught, are mind boggling.  I have posted many times on this issue.  I don’t think I need to post anymore of the pictures of the results of their ‘peace’.  You can find them yourself, or look here, or here, or here, or here for information.

Many people say ‘I learned everything I need to know about Islam on 9/11.”  I learned long before then, at my mother’s knee, and how she came to be a first generation American.

Saudi-funded textbooks being used in America’s K-12 classrooms.

Teaching, among other things, that Jesus was a “Palestinian,” the state of Israel never existed, and that the Muslims discovered America before Columbus. At this rate, perhaps even Saudi grade-school textbooks, complete with jihadi and dhimmi declarations, will come to instruct American school-children.

My first question would have to be…why the hell are foreigners funding American text books? Whose bright idea was that?

Islam shares a characteristic of Marxism: Conquer from within. And isn’t that what has been happening. Our schools are run by Marxists, and our text books are being written, and bought, by a foreign country… an ISLAMIC country! Sorry, neither have the values our Founders set forth for us, and should NOT be taught in our schools. How about teaching the truth….warts and all!

If sadly, you were the recipient of such a false education… the Muzzies did NOT discover America..the Vikings were here before Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus. Jesus was NOT a ‘Palestinian’. There has never been a country called Palestine, except in the Romans minds, as an insult to the resident Jews of ISRAEL! The Old Testament, even if you don’t believe, is a great source of history!

If the President and the Congress are able to realize their plans for the US military, it will leave American with, as the title to this piece suggests, a hollow force. It will also place America in a great deal of danger because our military will be a great deal smaller in numbers of troops.

Think about that for a moment. Not only will our military lose so much of its war fighting materiel, it will lose many thousands of troops. That’s bad enough but there is something else — and no one seems concerned about it.

You see, when the military cutbacks come, we will lose the experience of troops who have actually been on the battlefield, who have actually looked the enemy in the eye, who have dealt with the pain of taking another human being’s life, and the deep abiding pain of losing a friend or companion in battle, who have fought the fight and lived to tell about it. BUT – they will not be available to train the raw recruits that will always be necessary to keep the much smaller fighting force flush with young, robust, well-trained fighting men.

Everything, these days, seems to have a price in dollars and cents. Not experience. The value of experienced combat soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines is inestimable. It also holds true, not just for enlistees, but for officers as well — mustangs and academy graduates, alike. Experienced officers are a must for a military to even consider executing a victorious military campaign. Book knowledge is absolutely necessary but it can’t hold a candle to experience on the battlefield.

For a country to gut it’s military during a time of war, and yes, we are in a war on several fronts, is not only insane, but extremely dangerous!  You can call what is going on around the world isolated incidents by radical Islamists, but the truth is…they aren’t all that isolated, and they aren’t just ‘radicals’. They are Muslims, plain and simple! Just a few examples of those isolated incidents for the 9th and 10th of January, courtesy of “The Religion of Peace“:

2012.01.10 (Yathreb, Iraq) – Three schoolboys between the ages of 9 and 11 are dismantled by ‘insurgents’ while walking to school.
2012.01.10 (Jamrud, Pakistan) – Three dozen people waiting in line at a gas station are torn to pieces by Islamist bombers.
2012.01.10 (Sharan, Afghanistan) – Civilians and guards are killed during an assault on a telecommunications building by suicidal Fedayeen..
2012.01.09 (Baghdad, Iraq) – Sunni bombers detonate a car bomb at a Shiite mosque, killing five.
2012.01.09 (Baghdad, Iraq) – At least seven people at a market are blown to bits by Jihadi car bombers.
2012.01.09 (Dabori, Pakistan) – The bodies of ten local troops, abducted during a Taliban raid, are found brutally beheaded.

The day isn’t over yet!  And how many so called ‘honor killings‘ have we had right here in the U.S. of A.?  Not to mention the OBVIOUS terror attack on a U.S. military base, the shooting of recruiters, the attempted bombing by the ‘crotch bomber‘, the attempt at Ft Dix, the incident in Florida within the last few days, and the list goes on and on.

Are you aware that the difference in the numbers of males and females in Muslim countries is extremely dramatic?

Yet, the Obama administration thinks it’s a good idea to ‘save money’ by gutting our military.  Calling him the Commander in Chief is beyond laughable, but it reality, he is one very dangerous man/child, and we are ALL put in danger by his actions.  If he truly wanted to ‘save money’, he’d stop creating more bureaucratic BS! And perhaps, he could pay back the taxpayers for all those luxury trips he and the ‘queen’ have taken. There are MANY ways for the government to cut spending, but the military isn’t one of them!

Do we really want to become a third world nation, allow our borders to continue to be breached, and allow a total takeover of the rest of the world by a theocratic dictatorship, and see even more blood of the innocents in the streets?  If Congress would grow a pair, on BOTH sides of the aisle, and stop this stupidity, we just MIGHT have a chance to survive, and save our nation for our children!

A 25-year-old man described as an Islamic extremist was arrested in a plot to attack sites around Tampa, Fla., after taking possession of disabled guns and bombs, authorities said Monday.

The U.S. Department of Justice said Sami Osmakac, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in the former Yugoslavia, was arrested Saturday night.

He has been charged with one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. His first appearance in federal court is scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m. ET.

Sources close to the investigation told Fox News that Osmakac was being “closely monitored by law enforcement” for months in what authorities have described as a “sting operation.”

We will be destroyed from the inside.  It’s no secret, yet so many refuse to actually SEE what is right in front of them!  Between Muslims, who hate us, that become “citizens”, to our own feckless government, we are heading for a serious fall!  Texas Fred use to have a ‘toon on his sidebar:

I can’t think of anything that describes what has been happening during the last few decades, at least during my lifetime.  Much happened before I was even born that headed us down this path of self destruction.  (Think Wilson and FDR!)  Now days, we can’t even pinpoint the threat because it MIGHT offend someone.  Well, to be perfectly honest….if the TRUTH offends, then so be it!  Let them be offended, or get the hell out.  It’s quite simple!

An anti-Muslim hate blog that contained inflammatory comments has been taken down by its hosting company after numerous complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, PR Newswire reports.

Since when do we cave to American hating animals?  Oh yeah…since everything is supposedly offensive to murderous thugs, we must placate their little egos.  Well, actually, they are rather LARGE egos, and have been growing since some fool claimed Islam was a ‘religion of peace’.  Yeah…so peaceful that murdering women and children is a daily occurrence with them! And what has the U.S. policy been concerning these oh so peaceful animals? Why, they’ve opened the door and welcomed them in, to wreak havoc on our entire society. Islam and our Constitution do NOT mix! If you need proof, I have quite an archive under the category “religion of pieces”. There are plenty of visuals to keep you entertained for hours. Make sure you have a barf bag ready though! Many of the pictures are extremely gruesome….brought to you by…..drum roll please….. ISLAM!

They say that most people learned about Islam on 9/11. That might be true for many, but not for me. I have known about it for as long as I can remember. How? Well, if you have been coming around here for a while, you might already know, but I’ll share a bit anyway. You see, my adoptive mother was a first generation American. Her parents immigrated from Lebanon. Yep…that Lebanon, over there in the Middle East. Why were her mother and father sent to the U.S. by their parents, when they were both just teenagers? Because those oh so peaceful Muslims came into their village, and SLAUGHTERED a large number of those living there. Why? Because the village was a CHRISTIAN village. The stories I grew up with makes it possible for me to KNOW these animals are not worth spit! This was long before any ‘uprising’, it was just a regular occurrence in the area. Muslims have been murdering Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc., for as long as there has been Islam. That’s what they do! They even murder fellow Muslims if they don’t consider them Muslim enough. To me that translates to if you don’t adhere to the lying, cheating, pedophilia, murdering dictates of Mohammed, then you get to die too. They bow to a god of hatred. Allah is NOT the same God of Christians and Jews!

CAIR, and organizations like it, are dangerous to this country and must be stopped. We have a 1st Amendment and honestly, I think we have been more than tolerant of their hatred. You can’t say the same for them. There is NO tolerance is Islam. NONE! A constant violation of our freedom of speech can be pointed at this particular organization. Their attempts to silence people like Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and now Bare Naked Islam, IS a violation of our Constitutional rights, which come from God. Allah ain’t in the picture!

People are justifiably angry. Do we continue to cave to the demands of the evil, or do we stand up and say NO MORE!  I do not advocate violence toward anyone.  Nor have I ever called for the destruction of anything.  I do believe we have to eject those who would destroy us.   The 1st Amendment doesn’t protect someone yelling FIRE in a crowded theater when there is no fire.  Does it protect us from telling the truth about a murderous political cult?  Evidently not.

As if further proof were needed of the fecklessness of Western civilization when confronting savagery, consider the destruction of the Institut d’Egypte in Cairo this month. Once again, the world watched helplessly while a horde of Muslim rioters wantonly annihilated a piece of history, and thus served warning that its cultural jihad against the West will advance until we stop it.

The Institut was founded by Napoleon in 1798 during his campaign in Egypt and Syria. Its ranks have included scholars from all walks of life, dedicated to researching Egyptian culture from antiquity to the present. The building, near Tahrir Square — the center of the protests that have marked the Arab Spring in Egypt — was filled with some 200,000 rare books and manuscripts. Gone now, burned in a fire, set off by a mob, that raged for more than 12 hours.

Isn’t past time that the West wake up to one blatantly OBVIOUS FACT?  Islam is NOT a ‘religion of peace’!  There is only ‘peace’ if you agree with their 7th century way of life, and even then, the violence against women and children are just all part of the whole Islamic way of life!  No ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is neither a ‘religion’ nor ‘peaceful’ by any stretch of the imagination!  It is, to put it quite bluntly, a cult of evil.  Evil destroys, and that’s exactly what Islam does.  It destroys!  How much knowledge has been destroyed because of these animals, we’ll never know.  It’s been lost forever!  How much beautiful art has been burned, blown up, defaced due their ignorance?  Again, no one can be sure.  We did see the destruction of the Buddhist statues first hand though, didn’t we, and this is how they have pushed their way into every corner of the earth, with death and destruction!

Does anyone actually believe our founding documents would be safe with a take over of these pigs?  Do you think the Lincoln or Jefferson monuments would be safe from the explosives?  How about the Library of Congress, and the Archives?  Would they survive the Caliphate?  Don’t be on it!  It would be just more knowledge lost to future generations because we have done nothing to stop in slow invasion of Islamonazis.  We allow terrorist supporting organizations like CAIR to dictate what we can and cannot do.  Offend a Muslim?  Get sued, or have your life threatened!  Or even die.

The media fails to report a great deal to the public, and in their lack of facts, are complicit with the government of the U.S.  Fourteen human beings were slaughtered, and 30 injured by a radical Muslim, shouting allah hu akbar, and they call it “work place violence“.  A man murders his family, dressed as Santa, and it’s domestic violence, and he was having problems.  Gee, ya think?  Problem is, the media failed to mention that Santa was a Muslim and his daughter was dating a non Muslim.  And what about the ‘lone wolf’ type?  Unfortunately, they aren’t really alone.  They have their Qu’ran giving them orders to murder non Muslims.  The list of offenses of Muslims against non Muslims increases daily, yet, we do nothing to stop it.  Why?  Instead of stopping the influx of these oh so peaceful people, we actually bring more and more into the country.  Yet do nothing to help the Christians who are being persecuted in Egypt, Iraq, and Nigeria, just to name a few.

Oh, there may be some Muslims who would prefer to live peacefully, but the numbers are few, and rarely do they speak out against the actions of their fellow Muslims.  When they do, they are threatened, and typically live in fear for their lives.  There is nothing peaceful about Islam, and it is not a religion.  It is a cult of death, that happily sacrifices it’s children to promote more death.  Moloch frequently comes to mind.  It is a political system, that controls every aspect of life, and none are given free will, started by a raving lunatic, and murderous pedophile.  How much more evidence do people need before waking up to the reality?  These are NOT our friends!  And we should do everything possible to rid ourselves of such a cult of thugs creeping onto our shores.

Our 1st Amendment gives us freedom OF religion.  Muslims have taken that phrase, and turned it into a weapon to use against us.  We have been MORE than tolerant of these interlopers.  It’s a shame the same can’t be said of them.  Time to shut the door, lock it, and take up arms against those who would murder our children to appease their god.

According to a Muslim Brotherhood official, the political party wants to boost tourism numbers to Egypt and will not take steps that would harm the industry.

The strong showing by Islamists in Egypt’s staggered parliamentary poll has aroused fears among liberals and others in Egypt that it could lead to rules that would ban alcohol sales and outlaw mixed bathing in popular resorts.

Tourism is Egypt’s top foreign currency earner, accounting for more than a tenth of gross domestic product and employing an estimated one in eight of the workforce.

Essam el-Erian, deputy head of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), said accusations that the Islamists rise to power would harm tourism were “rumours” circulated by remnants of the party of deposed President Hosni Mubarak to influence voters.

Perhaps the folks of Egypt should have considered the tourist industry before they went nuts for the Islamists?  I don’t know about you, but Egypt is the one of the LAST places on earth I would go right now.   I guess we should have gone when we were in the area back in 2008.  I just don’t trust those people!  For very obvious reasons.  Obvious, that is, if you’ve been paying close attention to the happenings in the region.

“No citizen who makes a living from this field should be concerned,” Erian said in statements carried by the party’s website while addressing voters in Sinai ahead of the third stage of the election in January.

He said the party wanted to draw in 20 million tourists a year to Egypt, compared to the more than 12 million that visited before the uprising against Mubarak and subsequent political upheaval that sent tourists packing.

Yeah, I’ve no doubt Mubarak needed to be sent packing, but the direction they are heading may end up being 10 times worse than that dictator handed them. Not to mention the danger these thugs have put the Copts in on a daily basis. Apparently, these people think that 8 million more tourist will be glad to come to their country? Seems to be, all they have done is swap one dictator for another, even more oppressive one. Conrats D’Bama for encouraging the insanity.

Erian said laws regarding alcohol would not be changed and the party would not support legislation that might harm the industry. Alcohol is sold at hotels across Egypt and can also be bought at specialised shops and some licensed restaurants.

But he hinted the Brotherhood would seek to curb some aspects of public consumption, but only based on existing laws.

“The current law has punishments in this regard (to alcohol). We won’t add to it nor modify it but drinking alcohol won’t be in the streets,” he said, without giving details.

Under Egyptian law, anyone caught drunk in a public place can be imprisoned for up to six months, but the law is only sporadically enforced.

I kind of get the feeling they don’t want Americans in the country, spending their dollars on tourism. And they especially don’t want folks from Wisconsin. (heh) Seriously, I’m not a drinker, so such rules wouldn’t apply to me anyway, but who is to say they won’t make crap up, accusing people of doing something that is against their laws just because that person if from a certain country, or is not a Muslim? The idea of charging and sentencing tourists, and then demanding money for said tourist’s release wouldn’t be completely out of the norm for Islamist. Nope….don’t trust them at all!  I’d much rather go back to Israel, where I felt completely safe.  Well, except for in the Muslim territories. 

Erian suggested there was broad agreement among Egypt’s political forces to keep, without modification, the first four articles of the constitution, including the one saying “the principles of Islamic (Shariah) law are the principle source of legislation”.

And, there ya go! “The principles of Islamic (Shariah) law” is about as oppressive as they come. American tourists and Shariah don’t mix.  Respecting the laws of the country you are visiting is a really good idea, however, when said country’s law is contrary to everything a person believes in, such as FREEDOM, then there is definitely a conflict.  Just sayin’.

It’s not a phobia if they really want to kill you!

The Army will develop a policy allowing Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets to ask for permission to wear religious headdresses with their uniforms.

The decision came in a letter dated Monday, the response to an October complaint filed by the Council of American-Islamic Relations on behalf of a Williamson County student.

Gadeir Abbas, a staff attorney with the council, said the decision was a victory for all.

“This is sending a message that the JROTC is a program for all Americans,” he said.

Well, that message would be real nice, except for one thing.  Muslims and American freedom, fought and won by the U.S. Military, do NOT mix.  They are a total contradiction.  This is just one more example of the wussification of our military, thanks to the politically correct, but utterly ignorant!

The student, Demin Zawity, was the first to challenge the JROTC policy, Abbas said. Demin, Muslim and a freshman at Ravenwood High School, quit the JROTC program earlier this year because she wasn’t allowed to wear a religious headscarf in a parade. She said the scarf protected her modesty.

Give me a flippin’ break! So what if she quit! Here’s a huge WHO CARES! And those ‘headscarves’ are not religious! They are tradition in backwards countries, where women are suppressed. This is the U.S., not some 3rd world country stuck in the middle ages!

In Monday’s letter, Larry Stubblefield, deputy assistant secretary of the Army’s diversity and leadership division, confirmed the policy would change. He wrote that officials from the JROTC planned to contact Demin and offer her the chance to re-enroll in Ravenwood’s program.

“Diversity and leadership division”? Are they kidding? There is only one color in the Army….that’s green, or camo…depending on where said soldier is located at any given time. What’s this ‘diversity’ horse manure? There is no ‘diversity’ in the military, or shouldn’t be! They should be soldiers, ready to defend this country and her citizens, not a bunch of pussified whiners!

Demin said previously that she probably wouldn’t return to JROTC because she was too busy with her studies but that she hoped other Muslims would join. She didn’t return messages left Thursday.

And there, problem solved! Now pull your collective head’s out of CAIR’s hind end, and start acting like strong Americans….again….instead of a bunch of PC bowers and scrapers to the enemies of the country.

To date, five exceptions have been granted nationwide. Four of the exceptions were for servicemen belonging to the Sikh faith, and one was for an Orthodox Jewish rabbi serving in the Army Reserve, Wright said, adding that he didn’t know how many people had applied for an exception.

“Persons who are in active combat are less likely to get granted,” he said. “They have to have a good seal around their neck to prevent the leakage of their gas mask equipment, and a beard and/or a turban could be problematic.”

The turbans of the Sikhs, and the yamaka of the Orthodox Jews, ARE religious. That head scare is NOT.

“We are an emerging group in the U.S., and as we emerge, there are inevitably going to be instances where rules, albeit not intentionally, disadvantage Muslims,” he said. “But there is a difference between possible discrimination and safety. If the rule is designed around safety, that’s just acknowledging a reality.”

And there in lies the problem. An “emerging group” that wants to destroy the U.S. FYI CAIR….I’m one of those who will NOT be bowing to Mecca. I’ve no doubt there a whole lot of us who will push back!
