Obama’s Muslim connection

By Ted Belman

osamaobama.jpg1. Obama’s father was a Muslim polygamist.

2. Obama’s step-father was a Muslim.

3. In Indonesia he was registered in school as a Muslim.

4. Occasionally he went to the Mosque for prayers

5. He took religious classes and studied the Koran in Arabic.

Freedom’s Enemy reports

According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama’s teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.

“I remembered that he had studied “mengaji” (recitation of the Quran)” Tine said.

Our guy in Jakarta writes: “The actual usage of the word ‘mengaji’ in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. “Mengagi” is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, ‘mengaji classes’ are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to.

The Obama Campaign told the LA Times he wasn’t a “practicing Muslim.”
(3/14/2007)

But his official website says: “Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian” (11/12/2007)

In 2007, classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, “Barry was previously quite religious in Islam.

“We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny,” said Rony.

Amiris now the manager of the Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, “Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry’s father were very devout Muslims”

Rony extrapolates further, that Obama at one point had to change his religion if he ever intended later to run for the office of President of the United States because America would never elect a Muslim to the be President of the United States.

Also in 2007, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, “He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a ’sarong’, at that time.”

“He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion.”

6. His grandfather, after whom he was named Hussein, was one of the first Muslim converts in his village.

He “fiercely devoted to Islam.” He had at least 3 wives: Helima, who had no children, Akuma who gave birth to Sarah Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Auma Obama.

“What your grandfather respected was strength — discipline.” Obama quoted his grandmother, Sarah, as telling him. “This is also why he rejected the Christian religion.

“For a brief time, he converted, and even changed his name to Johnson. But he could not understand such ideas as mercy towards your enemies, or that this man Jesus could wash away a man’s sins.”

“To your grandfather, this was foolish sentiment, something to comfort women,” she added. “And so he converted to Islam — he thought its practices conformed more closely to his beliefs.”

Grandfather’s third wife was Sarah, the one often referred to by Obama as his “grandmother.” She is not a blood relative and describes herself as a lifelong Muslim. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” she says.

In “Dreams,” he inadvertently sheds some light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and Islamophile who hated America and subsequently goes native.

His grandmother raised him in Honolulu. He recently described her as a “typical white person” who fears blacks. Now, the Chicago Tribune reports “the Obama campaign declined to make [his white grandmother] available.”

All because she is white and Barry Obama is a “black” candidate for president.

Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist, Senior was buried as a Muslim.

Obama Senior also had three sons by another woman who are all Muslim.

Obama’s family connections to Islam would endure, however. For example, his brother Roy opted for Islam over Christianity, as Obama recounted when describing his 1992 wedding.

“The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.”

Abongo “Roy” Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

In Kenya while he was a Senator, Obama stumped for his cousin, opposition leader Raila Odinga. Odinga is the son of Senior’s sister, a direct first cousin and nephew of Obama’s father.

August 29, 2007, Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya signed a MoU

Here is a summary on the agreement which was signed:

    * It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two.

    * Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

    * Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]

    * Popularize Islam, the only true religion… by ordering every primary school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa classes.

In an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.”

Obama describes describes his new found “Christian” faith as: (1) Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth (3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible with all other religions.

Muslims view Obama as first a Muslim and then as an apostate Muslim. He faces the death penalty in nearly the entire Islamic world.

On February 27th, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”

The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet… ”

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog, written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20 years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, contains the following:

“Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not convinced many in the world’s most populous Muslim country who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and world peace.”

“Barack Hussein Obama’s race, his staunch opposition to the war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy.”

“A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is reporting on Obama’s religion can be found in the following.”

“What I found interesting in the article was the use of the word ‘mengaku’ when refering to Obama’s conversion from Islam to Christianity. The word ‘mengaku’ in Indonesian means “claimed” and as such leaves the insinuation to the native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually still be a Muslim.

But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don’t see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam.”

On Feb 15/08 Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry called Obama’s Church I then asked her what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, “That sounds easy. One last question please. IF I AM MUSLIM AND I BELIEVE IN PROPHET MOHAMMED, PEACE BE UPON HIM AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN JESUS, PEACE BE UPON HIM, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY ISLAMIC FAITH TO BE A MEMBER IN YOUR CHURCH?”

SHE ANSWERED, “NO. WE HAVE MANY MUSLIM MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” It is important to note that Muslims would not attend church.

“YOUR CHURCH HAS DONE GREAT HARM TO THIS COUNTRY BY COVERING A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING AND THAT WOLF IS SENATOR BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA.”

Pastor Wright is an Islamophile and visited Khaddafi with Farrakhan.

Obama’s foreign policy favours accommodation to Islam

    1 He surrounded himself with advisers who believe that US foreign policy is controlled by Jews and this must end.

    2. Obama plans to organize a Muslim summit

    3. Obama Defends Columbia’s Ahmadinejad Invite

    4. Obama; I Would Still Meet With Ahmadinejad

    5. Obama: Don’t Stay in Iraq Over Genocide

    6. Barack Obama Would Let Shoaib Choudhury Die

    7. “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds change in an ugly direction”. BARACK OBAMA from The Audacity Of Hope which is titled in Indonesia “Assualt Hope: From Jakarta To The Whitehouse”?. It is arguable that “Assault Hope” means “Jihad”.

    8. Obama’s Nation of Islam Staffers

    9. Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-Palestinian Group

    10. Obama - Rezko - Auchi - Saddam Hussein?

  1. OBAMA’S PLANET OF THE APES – THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

    Sunstar’s slogan for the 21st Century if Obama wins the Presidency in 2008:

    “There goes the neighborhood! Not just your neighborhood or my neighborhood, but EVERYBODY’S NEIGHBORHOOD!”

    The Democratic National Convention reminds me of Charlton Heston’s film entitled: PLANET OF THE APES, ESCAPE FROM PLANET OF THE APES, AND BENEATH PLANET OF THE APES.

    Charlton Heston lands back on earth many years later only to find out that a party of chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas have taken over the earth and enslaved the human race.

    The chimpanzees were pacifist peacemakers who were the smart ones; the orangutans were the pagan philosophers who idolized their own images; the gorillas were the warmongers who enslaved, tortured, and brainwashed humanity. The democratic party reminds me of such a planet, where everything turned GREEN after a nuclear war.

    Bush, Cheney, McCain and the Republican party had to go underground as a secret society which worshipped the bomb with a gospel choir singing loud and as the democratic Planet of the Apes entered the caves of their underground society they decide to detonate the bomb as the armies marched to take over.

    All jokes aside, such an analogy is quite true in a Revelation prophecy format:

    Here come the APES! There goes the neighborhood! No, don’t read a racial statement behind that! This is a political statement, for although Obama does resemble a pacifist kind of Chimpanzee, he has his armies of gorillas preparing for war against humanity and his pagan philosophers ready to suck out our brains. Democrats are evolutionist apes full of chimpanzees, orangatans, & gorillas.

    You thought that THE BUSH FAMILY caused SLAVERY – wait until Obama avenges the enslavement of his Islamic-African peoples – it will be the same reaction as Clarence in the movie ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES when he causes an uprising of the apes against the tyranny of human beings who tortured and enslaved the gorillas, the chimpanzees, and orangutans! Talk about a political statement! PLANET OF THE APES was prophetic of the current political realities facing 2008 voters IF Obama becomes President.

    OBAMA-NATION = ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION!

    Nobody can really prevent or stop Revelation prophecy from happening, although God has been known to delay His wrath depending on the REPENTANCE MODE of the human race, turning to Him wholeheartedly in prayer and supporting His People Israel.

    Protecting Israel from the PLANET OF THE APES is PRIORITY #1 and it appears that the Samson Option will be Israel’s only choice as Obama’s Islamic aspirations through the Farrakhan friendly Pastor he adores comes to fruitition. Don’t forget that my first THEORY about the Islamic Nations being the beast of Revelation 13 can still be the end time scenario. Imagine Islamic nations having BIOMETRICS in which no one will be able to buy or sell unless they are Islamic!

    Buraq Obama will be their winged horse carrying them from the Temple Mount to the Islamic heaven where the Jews will all be destroyed – along with Europe and the United States as the Islamic 20-Year plan could very well happen OVERNIGHT with the election of Obama as President!

    Therefore, in spite of the possibility that McCain and Obama might both be GEORGE SOROS RINGERS, I will still be voting for MCCain, hoping he is not a liar, hoping he lives up to his Primary Victory speeches, hoping he really does stand up for Israel and stand with Christian Conservative Republicans in continuing the fight so that the chimpanzees, orangutans, & gorillas don’t take over planet earth and cause slavery, torture, and oppression of humanity.

    As OBAMA leads the Planet of the Apes this year and McCain & Republicans prepare their bombs for detonation – how does the story truly end?

    Just because I root for the underground society to blow up all the apes does not mean I will be joining their choir and worship the bomb! It only means that I will be sharing Charlton Heston’s statement when he moved on from that movie, to make a documentary about the Bible and convert from being an evolutionary atheist to a Bible thumping believer.

  5. Ted and sunstartmf33,
    You are right on the money.
    What is truly frightening is the low level of education and the high level of hate for this country in a significant percentage of the U.S. population (the demsheviks, not all of course, but many of them)…

  6. If a President Barack Obama offers the Jews in Israel anything, it will be that Israel can not — must not! –depend on the U.S. John McCain will only further the vain hope that America is there for Israel and her security. Michael Freund wrote another piece to this effect today.

    Mr. Fruend wrote: “Indeed, by focusing so incessantly on the Palestinian issue, American officials seem to have dropped the ball on containing Iran’s drive toward nuclear supremacy, and this is having far-reaching consequences.”

    Fruend, like the vast majority of Jews, is looking for the US to save the Jews from Iran. Iran is not America’s problem. Iran is Israel’s problem. Many Americans believe (naively) that a nuclear Iran can be contained, like the former Soviet Union. Jews in Israel are looking for America to save her from Iran. Should Iran make good on her attempt to wipe Israel off the map, neither George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, nor most Americans will lose any sleep over a few more million dead Jews since Hitler. The sooner the Jews understand we are essentially on their own dealing with Iran the healthier and happier we will be. Don’t depend on worthless assurances from American leaders that U.S. will assure Israel’s security. They won’t.

    A President Obama might be good for Israel, if the Jews draw the proper conclusions.

  7. Here is a an Christian that sees the problem. Why can’t we Jews see things this clearly?

    Fundamentally Freund: The price of Washington’s obsession with the Palestinians

    Talkback #17. the price of Israel’s obsession with the USA

    Israel has placed the US and it’s agenda above their God and the Michael Freunds begin to panic because they begin to see their faith has been greatly misplaced. They have not yet awaken to the reality that America’s obsession with creating a Palestinian state is a treacherous betrayal of Israel and the Road Map is it’s death sentence. The blindness of the the Jewish leadership and elite who follow after the U.S.,a false god is monumental, even to this day. Trusting in Idols always has it’s downside and America will not bring Israel peace ,only Hashem will.

  8. I am afraid I will have to agree with Steve Klein; why should anyone care about Jews? Does any Jew who read about Holocaust honestly cares about Gypsies killed in the death camps? Why should a French company refrain from making a quick buck in transactions with Iran? We the Jews had no problem cooperating with South Africa in developing nuclear bomb, or helping Latin American dictatorships to keep their population in check. When Russia sells missiles to Syria, and America – advanced weapons to Saudi Arabia, why should not Siemens build a telecom network in Iran? Besides, if Siemens won’t do that, Samsung will, or one of the telecom start-ups in Eastern Europe.

    Jews can claim Holocaust, compassion, basic human decency – and even make the Western governments pay lip service to those notions, but in the end the governments know they have no fiduciary obligation to the Jews. In fact, most of their constituents would even enjoy if the Jews are fried in the nuclear blast.

    If Obama is bad for the Jews: Maybe it will turn out to be the best thing. The Jew does not wish to be isolated. He fears being alone, without allies. He fears man, he trusts only in man and so - in the exquisitely Divine way of the Almighty - precisely that which he fears will be sent upon him. He fears to do that which the Almighty demands - to annex the territories and establish Jewish sovereignty over them, as part of the Holy Land of Israel. The Almighty repays him by turning them into burning caldrons of an intifada, with confused Israeli youth not knowing whether these Holy lands are indeed Jewish or “occupied”. While a world that is normal and knows that if land belongs to you then you annex it, feels free to condemn a country that does not do so as an “occupier”.

    He fears to throw out the cancer raging in his midst - the Arab enemy - lest the world turn on him. He is repaid measure for measure by a grim Almighty as the world,! daily, condemns him for “oppression” of people that would not have been there had he had faith in G-d rather than fear of the Gentile.

    In any event, the Jew will be isolated, and that is the greatest blessing imaginable. For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d. And it is only when the Jew stands alone against a world unified in hatred against him, that the Almighty will turn, in His anger and wrath, against the nations that knew Him not, and His powerful arm that will bring salvation to the Jew will be the awesome proof to the nations that the Lord, G-d of Israel, is indeed One - the only One.

    That is why isolation will be. That it is why it must be. It is the greatest of blessings, and the foolish Jew of little faith sees it only as a curse. Foolish Jew, Jew of Exile, whose soul and mind has been destroyed by that Exile, who has turned from a Jew of fa! ith into one of trembling before the man of dust

    DBOSTAN: I liked your phrase: DEMSHEVIKS! You obviously have a firm awareness that Democrats were infiltrated by the Russian KGB to promote anti-Christ, anti-Jewish principles to try to destroy the Judeo-Christian Biblical principles that made the U.S.A. great!

    I wonder how Reverend Wright would feel after he stated: GOD DANM AMERICA! if we returned his statement back on him saying, “God Damn Reverend Wright! God Damn Obama! God Damn Farrakhan! And God Damn Obama’s Church!” He can dish it out but can’t take it! Imagine if we said this to Obama and his Psstor and his church. How would THEY feel?

    DANEGERUS - WHAT IS YOUR RESEARCH THAT CONFIRMS JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS AN X-MUSLIM?

    Comment by sunstartmf33 — March 26, 2008 @ 8:23 pm



  11. The 71-year-old McCain’s recent misstatement that al-Qaeda terrorists were being aided by the Iranian regime — quickly corrected by Sen. Joseph Lieberman in a whispered aside — might have been simply a senior moment. Or it might have reflected an intention to do something precipitous about Iran’s growing stature in the region. Either way, scary.

    The above incident reflects well why the west is not winning the war on terrorism. In any conflict it is essential to know who the enemy is and what the enemy is all about. Here we have a situation that where most so-called experts on the Moslem world have not the foggiest notion about the the cultures, lifestyles, languages, and myriad groupings that comprise the Islamic world.

    Case in point. It is thought by most of the Israepundit Mavens, that Al-qaeda and the Iranian fundamentalists are one and the same. Nothing can be further than the truth. Iran is a Shiite nation and most of the Al quada terrorists are Sunni and both are bitter rivals. When America and its Nato allies invaded Afghanistan, Iran provided its border areas as logistic staging territory for the campaign. Iran and the U. S, having a common enemy cooperated fully. Pakistan on the other hand, who is friendly to America has covertly been assisting the Taliban/Al qaeda coalition since the very beginning of the campaign. The reality is that little is black and white and as in life generally much is nuanced and exceedingly complex.

    And before anyone decides to pronounce judgement on the the inflammatory nature of the Koran, it might be suggested that since it can be opened , perhaps reading the book might be a good first step.. Then again since much of the Koran is written in dense verse, perhaps learning Arabic first would be advised. And even if you know Arabic, a really full understanding of the Koran and its numerous commentories requires (in the words of Bernard Lewis) a lifetime study.

    On the other hand perhaps you might forget the whole thing and watch American Idol instead.

    My original hunches about Oh-bomb-America (Obama) were true all along. Democrats raised him up to defy Republicans and their war on terror, but there is a good side to Obama from an espionage point of view that can’t be ignored: OBAMA IS DRAWING ALL THE WORMS OUT OF THE WOODWORK!

    SUNSTAR RESPONSE: THEN LET’S START OUR KORAN STUDIES HERE:

    Surah 2:135 – “They say: ‘Become Jews or Christians if you would be guided (To salvation).’ Say: ‘NO! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not the gods with Allah.’

    Surah 4:157- –“That they said (in boast), ‘We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.’ But they killed him not, nor crucified him. Only a likeness of that was shown to them. And those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge. But only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not: No, Allah raised him up to Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise;–And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in Him before His death, and on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against them.”

    Surah 4:163, 171, & 172 says – “Behold! We inspire you as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as we imparted to David the Psalms. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter anything concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word, which He conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not ‘Three’ –Cease! (it is) better for you!–Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that he should have a son. The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave to Allah, nor will the favored angels.”

    Surah 4:171-172 says in the Koran: “O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah anything but the Truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary. For Allah is One God: Glory be to Him: (Far exalted is He) above having a son. Christ does not hesitate to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels.”

    Surah 5:51 says—“O you 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 among you that turns to them (For friendship) is of them. Allah does not guide an unjust people.”

    Surah 5:116-118 says—“And behold! Allah will say: ‘O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say to men, ‘Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah’?’ He will say: ‘Glory to you! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing you would have indeed known it. You know what is in my heart, though I don’t know what is in your heart. You know full well all that is hidden. I never said anything to them except what you commanded me to say: WORSHIP ALLAH, my Lord and your Lord.’: And I was a witness over them while I dwelled among them; when you did take me up you were the Watcher over them, and you are a witness to all things. If you punish them, they are your servants: If you do forgive them you are Exalted in power and wise.”

    Surah 5:17 says—“In blasphemy indeed are those that say that God is Christ the Son of Mary. Say: ‘Who then has the least power against God, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all – every one that is on the earth?’” In another version of the Koran,

    Surah 5:17 says – “They indeed have not believed who say: Behold! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do anything against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them.”

    Surah 5:72, 73, & 75 says—“They do blaspheme who say: God [ALLAH] is Christ the son of Mary…They do blaspheme who say: God [ALLAH] is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God [ALLAH] …..Christ the son of Mary was no more than an apostle…..See how God [ALLAH] doth make His Signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded from the truth!”

    Surah 5:116 says – “And when Allah says: O Jesus son of Mary! Did you say to mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? He said: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then You knew it.”

    Surah 5:39 says—“Those who reject OUR SIGNS are deaf and dumb, - in the midst of darkness profound.”

    9:30 – The Jews call ‘Uzair (Ezra) 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!

    Surah 10:68-70 – They say, “Allah has begotten a son!” Glory be to Him! He is SELF-sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have you for this! What you don’t know you say about Allah. Say: “Those who forge a lie against Allah will never prosper.” Then we make them taste the severest Chastisement for their disbelief.

    Surah 17:111 – Praise to Allah, WHO BEGETS NO SON, and has no partner in His dominion.

    Surah 18:1-5 – Praise be to Allah, Who has sent His Servant The Book, and has allowed therein no crookedness. He has made it straight and clear in order that He may warn the godless of a terrible punishment from Him and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward, wherein they shall remain forever. FURTHER, that He may warn those who also say, “ALLAH HAS BEGOTTEN A SON”: No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying. What they say is nothing but falsehood!

    Surah 19:88-92 – They say: “The Most Gracious Allah has betaken a son!” Indeed you have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are about to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, that they attributed a son to The Most Gracious. For it is not consonant with the majesty of the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

    Surah 23:90-91 – We have sent them the Truth: But they indeed are liars. NO SON DID ALLAH BEGET, nor is there any god along with Him.”

    Surah 25:1-2 - Blessed is Allah Who sent down the Criterion of the Qur-an to His servant Muhammad, that it may be a warning to all creatures; He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: NO SON HAS HE BEGOTTEN, nor has He a partner in His dominion.”

    Surah 39:4 – Had Allah wished to take to Himself A SON, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He did create: But Glory be to Him! He is above such things. He is Allah, the One.”

    Surah 43:57-63 – When Jesus the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold your people raise a clamor in ridicule! And they say: “Are our gods best, or he?” This they set forth to you, only by way of disputation. Yes, they are a contentious people. JESUS WAS NO MORE THAN A SERVANT: We granted OUR favor to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel. And if it were Our Will, We could make angels from among you, succeeding each other on the earth. And Jesus shall be a Sign for the coming Hour of Judgment: Therefore have no doubt about the Hour, but follow Me: this is a Straight Way. Let not Satan hinder you: for he is to you an avowed enemy. When JESUS came with Clear Signs, he said: “Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the points on which you dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me. For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship Him: this is a Straight Way.” But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: Then woe to the wrong-doers, from the punishment of a Grievous Day!

    Surah 61:6 – And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: “O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah sent to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Muhammad.” But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, “This is evident sorcery!”

    Surah 61:14 – O you who believe! Be helpers of Allah: As Jesus the son of Mary said to the disciples: “Who will be My helpers to the work of Allah?” Said the disciples, “We are Allah’s helpers!” Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But we gave power to those who believed against their enemies and they became the ones that prevailed.

    Surah 112:1-4 – Say: HE IS ALLAH, THE ONE. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; HE BEGETTETH NOT, NOR IS HE BEGOTTEN; and there is none like unto him.

    Surah 6:6 says—“Don’t they see how many of those before them We did destroy?–Generations We had established on the earth, in strength such as We have not given to you—for whom we poured out rain from the skies in abundance, and gave streams flowing beneath their (feet): Yet for their sins We destroyed them, and raised in their wake fresh generations (To succeed them).”

    Thanks for the positive feedback. You can’t imagine how many people dump on me for my “lies” or “distortions” or “racism”.

    I just recalled that when the Senate was voting to define Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, Obama absented himself but later said he was opposed.

    I think I’ll add that.

  18. Who’s to say the Iranian regime is NOT aiding al qaeda terrorists. It seems likely that they are even though McCain may have not meant to say that.

    Comment by Laura — March 27, 2008 @ 3:27 pm



  19. Ted #15: I don’t think there is any question, Barack Obama openly sympathizes with the jihadists as do many on the left. Like vicious anti-Semite, Jimmy Carter, Mr. Obama sympathizes with Palestinian jihadists, Iranian jihadists, etc. I expect this from leftists. I don’t like it, but I expect leftists to negotiate with and to appease our enemies. I do not expect this from the right.

    My problem as a thirty seven year Republican is the inconsistency, even hypocrisy, in my own party. Mr. Bush — a self-professed Christian believer — claims we are at war with the “terrorists.” Fine. Bush insists, “We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”

    This are noble sentiments but they ring hollow as Bush pursues his vision of a Palestinian terrorist state in Israel, as he kisses, holds hands and prays with Wahhabi jihadists, Palestinian Muslim jihadisists, Holocaust deniers, etc. Republicans have stood solidly behind Bush as he wallows in these shameful antics with criminals and murderers; as he pressures Israel into sham peace accords with murderers. Mahmoud Abbas is a criminal and a murderer. If I were an Israeli, I would be out there protesting the Olmert puppet government. For the time being, I am an American citizen, so my obligation is to hold my own elected leaders accountable.

    I’ve had it with my party’s hypocrisy. Republicans have lost the right to govern at the national level so long as they pursue these duplicitious, indefensible policies in the Middle East.

  20. steve klein I agree with all you said and more about Bush but in all fairness has any American president from either party behaved or done differently? so with re: to Israel Republican or Democrat it matters little to Israel as both will screw Israel when it is convenient for them.

    Comment by yamit82 — March 27, 2008 @ 4:24 pm



  21. Yamit, you are right. To one degree or another, every U.S. president has essentially been an enemy of Israel.

    My view is that Israel needs to wean herself from American aid and dependency. I would rather live in a tent than take aid from America. Israel needs to be self-sufficient as much as is humanly possible.

    That having been said, the Jews in Israel are dependent upon America and most American Jews believe Israel cannot survive without American largess. I don’t know what it will take for Jews to wake up. Will the Olmert government bow to American pressure, withdraw from Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem resulting in the mass-slaughter of Jews by savages? Do thousands of Jews need to be slaughtered by Fatah and Hamas terrorists for the Jews to wake up and discover America is not a friend after all but an enemy of the Jews?

    I am strongly considering voting for the “Muslim” candidate this November. Maybe then the Jews will wake up? We’ll see. I’ve got a few months to think about it. My party’s national party platform (Republican party platform) calls for establishing a Palestinian (terror) state in Israel; for ethnically cleaning our covenanted land of Jews. No way will I vote for John McCain even if he is the so-called lessor of the two evils. I would rather vote for the Muslim candidate. At least the Muslim candidate has made his intentions plain.

    Comment by Steve Klein — March 27, 2008 @ 4:39 pm



  22. PS: Yamit, one more thing. This does not end with the born again Christian-believer, George W. Bush but with many millions of our so-called Christian Zionist friends that worship at the alter of this Republican president as he seeks to destroy Israel. Homosexual marriage and Christian prayer in our public schools trump G-d’s chosen people and His land with the vast majority of American Christians - in that order. American; then Christian.

    Comment by Steve Klein — March 27, 2008 @ 5:00 pm



  23. Ladies and Gentleman why don’t we brighten up and face the facts of life. No one in the N.S.A.( National Security Agency ) is staying up late at night concerning himself with an attack on a U.S. site by Palestinian terrorists. The concern is with INTERNATIONAL TERRORISTS, AL QAEDA and its affiliates. Israel,and the Palestinians, is purely a regional problem and for America its small potatoes.

    Al Qaeda and associated groups have a presence in some 60 countries and is growing rapidly. Iraq is a Cancer and in Afghanistan the situation is not much better.The U. S. is bleeding financially, morally and is paying in the suffering of its military.And you have the audacity to think that America should only concern itself with Israel.

    You are living in the past when the cold war was raging and Israel was aligned with the U. S. and the Arabs were defended by the Soviet Union. Now that is long ended and Israel is no longer as important for America as it had been during those great old days.

    Yes Hamas is on the U.S. list of terrorist groups, but so is the Tamil Tigers and just how worried are the Americans about them?

    And yes Israel does provide the U.S invaluable intel data on terrorist groups but so does Syria which also provides a very useful rendition site (for torture).

    Its about time you paid some attention to the very wise individual who recently posted the following on Israepundit,” Nations have no real friends just interests.”

  24. THE SECRET WAR AGAINST THE JEWS: HOW WESTERN ESPIONAGE BETRAYED THE JEWISH PEOPLE. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1994 by John Loftus and Mark Aarons

    “The major powers of the world have repeatedly planned covert operations to bring about the partial or total destruction of Israel. Long before there even was a Jewish state in Palestine, Western spies already were out to wreck the Zionist dream. The savage extent of the secret wars against the Jews will horrify the Western public. The chapter of espionage history, beginning in the 1920s, and continuing to the present day, had never been revealed before…With respect to the Middle East, our governments do not want their own citizens to know that a covert double standard has applied to the Jews, so they have lied to us for half a century…Our only claim for this book is that it is an accurate account of how many spies view the West’s conduct toward Israel. This is their story…a different look at history…From the CIA’s sabotage of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, through the twelve long years of President Reagan and Bush, the secret betrayal of Israel was the touchstone of THE MEN WHO MADE THEIR INCREDIBLE PROFITS FROM THE ARABS…If the ‘old spies’ are right, the U.S. policy was lenient compared to that of the British, French, Japanese, Soviets, and Germans. In fact, all the great nations have treated the Jews as expendable…obstacles to the secure supply of Arab oil.”

  25. George Soros Backs Obama (But Hedges His Bets)
    January 27, 2007
    George Soros, the billionaire former hedge fund manager, met with a group of reporters over lunch on Saturday — he paid the check — and offered views on everything from markets to American politics to Bill Gates as a philanthropist.
    His own spending on what he calls “civil society” projects is on the rise. “It peaked at $600 million in the mid-90’s,” he said. “I meant to cut back to 300, but I never quite got there.” After stabilizing at about $400 million a year, it will be between $450 million and $500 million this year, Mr. Soros said.
    He said he is introducing new projects to promote a common European foreign policy and study the integration of Muslims in 11 European cities.
    Mr. Soros commended the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for doing good work while avoiding the hostility he had encountered with his efforts to hold governments accountable for spending. “They have chosen public health, which is like apple pie,” he said.
    The United States is now recognizing the errors it had made in Iraq, he said, adding, “To what extent it recognizes the mistake will determine its future.” Mr. Soros said Turkey and Japan were still hurt by a reluctance to admit to dark parts of their history, and contrasted that reluctance to Germany’s rejection of its Nazi-era past.
    “America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany,” he said. “We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process.”
    As for the U.S. 2008 presidential race, Mr. Soros, who gave $18 million to Democratic advocacy groups seeking to defeat President Bush in 2004, said he supported Barack Obama. But he also said he would support Hillary Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination. John McCain, he said, had “compromised far too much with the Bush administration” and was unlikely to win the Republican nomination. And who will win? Mr. Soros said he thinks the leading possibilities are former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
    On investing, which made him rich, Mr. Soros said that “hedge funds are the market now,” which makes it much harder to beat the market than when he was a prominent hedge fund manager. He cautioned that the heavy use of debt to leverage up financial transactions — both in hedge funds and in companies bought by private equity funds — could prove damaging when and if the economy stumbles. — Floyd Norris

  26. Soros Underwrites Osama’s Talking Points
    By Ben Johnson
    FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, January 15, 2008 http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=8F15FF74-E275-4C51-BE12-F51AD30D1CCB

    THE MEDIA REVEALED THIS WEEK THAT THE LEFT IS LITERALLY “INVESTED” IN OSAMA BIN LADEN’S MESSAGE.
    On Sunday, news outlets reported that far-Left billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Institute provided roughly half the funding of a study that accused the United States and its allies of killing 650,000 Iraqis over the last three years. When the report first surfaced shortly before the 2006 midterm elections, tens of thousands of news organizations – including CNN, NPR, The London Telegraph, and Al-Jazeera – accorded it front page coverage. It also provided a welcome undergirding for Osama bin Laden’s anti-American propaganda.
    Osama’s increasingly leftist rhetoric came to its apex in a speech released on September 7, 2007, in which he praised Noam Chomsky as “among the most capable of those from your own side.” (Memo to Osama: Chomsky is not on our side.) In turn, DailyKos and CounterPunch.org bloggers hailed Osama’s video, saying it “made sense” and revealed the Saudi mass murderer as “fundamentally a political revolutionary with a strong sense of suffered injustice.” In railing against the “unjust war against Iraq,” Osama criticized:

    [T]he failure of your democratic system, despite it raising of the slogans of justice, liberty, equality and humanitarianism. It has not only failed to achieve these things, it has actually destroyed these and other concepts with its weapons – especially in Iraq and Afghanistan – in a brazen fashion, to replace them with fear, destruction, killing, hunger, illness, displacement and more than a million orphans in Baghdad alone, not to mention hundreds of thousands of widows. Americans statistics speak of the killing of more than 650,000 of the people of Iraq as a result of the war and its repercussions. (Emphasis added.)
    We now know George Soros’ desire to end the war in Iraq directly resulted in Osama bin Laden gaining sympathy (and perhaps a new audience on the blogosphere). Yet the media have not reported the whole story: George Soros was not the only antiwar leftist behind the study.
    Les Roberts provided the statistical basis for bin Laden’s video. FoxNews described Roberts as “an associate professor and epidemiologist at Columbia University.” The academic also ran for Congress as a – wait for it! – antiwar Democratic “Progressive” demanding immediate withdrawal from Iraq.
    Roberts’ first foray into inflating Iraqi casualties (and hence American evil) came four years ago. Just days before the 2004 presidential election, Roberts published “Mortality After the 2003 Invasion of Iraq: A Cross-Sectional Cluster Sample Survey” in The Lancet, wherein he claimed to have personally visited Iraq, interviewing families besieged in their own country. Roberts said they told him more than 100,000 civilians had been killed as the result of “collateral damage” in the war, more than 10 times the generally accepted figure. This claim was helpful in deflecting attention from the 300,000 innocent civilians that Saddam had murdered and buried in mass graves during his tenure. Ironically, the inflated claims of civilian deaths caused by the American military was deflated by an antiwar group, The Iraq Body Count Project, which issued a report in the summer of 2005. According to the report, only 24,865 civilians had been killed since the start of the war, including those killed by terrorists. Of these, the United States was responsible for 9,574 casualties, far fewer by accident than Saddam slaughtered by design in a comparable period of time.
    Comparisons meant nothing to Roberts – nor, he seemed to indicate, did accuracy. In an interview with Socialist Worker Online, he declared:

    Most of the people killed by the coalition were women and children, which implies the use of a lot of force, and perhaps too much. As far as I’m concerned the exact number of dead is not so important.” (Emphasis added.)
    In 2006, Roberts dropped all semblance of neutrality, running for the Democratic Party’s nomination for Congress from New York’s 24th District. His platform called for an American withdrawal from Iraq “on a short timetable,” and he accused President Bush of engaging in “manipulation efforts.”
    He dropped out that May, to release another politically explosive – and politically timed – study, financed by George Soros. “The Human Cost of the War in Iraq” appeared in The Lancet in October 2006, just before the midterm elections. Roberts again stated he personally interviewed suffering Iraqis, and civilian death tolls now exceeded 650,000, or more than 450 civilians every day of the war. And again, antiwar leftists and academics discredited his report. The Iraq Body Count soon issued a series of “Reality Checks” dismissing Roberts’s conclusions as “extreme and improbable.” Professor Michael Spagat, an economist at the University of London, stated:

    The authors ignore contrary evidence, cherry-pick and manipulate supporting evidence and evade inconvenient questions. They published a sampling methodology that can overestimate deaths by a wide margin but respond to criticism by claiming that they did not actually follow the procedures that they stated.
    Other responsible experts have questioned whether the team interviewed as many Iraqis as it claimed.
    In the year following his study, civilian deaths have yet to approach Roberts’ estimate. FoxNews notes, “New research published by The New England Journal of Medicine estimates that 151,000 people – less than a quarter of The Lancet estimate – have died since the invasion in 2003.” (Roberts called the NEJM “a very prestigious journal” in his Socialist Worker interview.) The Iraq Body Count estimates the toll at roughly one-eighth of Roberts’ figures, or 80,585-88,004 as of this writing.

    Obama Meets With Donors in New York
    By PATRICK HEALY
    Senator Barack Obama treaded onto Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s home turf last night to meet with prominent Democratic donors and feel out those who might prefer the sound of President Obama to President Clinton (as in Hillary, not Bill).
    Amid intensifying presidential musings by Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama met with George Soros, the liberal billionaire philanthropist, then some other donors last night at Mr. Soros’s offices. Afterward he spoke at a charity event that was to be followed by a news conference.
    One of the donors who met with Mr. Obama, and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he did not want to offend Mrs. Clinton, said that he and several others had supported Mrs. Clinton’s Senate campaigns but were not committed to her as a presidential candidate.
    “I like Hillary a lot, but I’m also impressed with Obama — his message, the way he connects to people,” said the donor, a prominent businessman. “It’s a little too early for Democrats to be certain that Hillary is the strongest bet for 2008. There are a lot of good people interested in running.”

  28. George Soros

    As Obama took steps toward the United States Senate he found a very powerful sugar daddy who would help fund his rise: George Soros. The billionaire hedge fund titan began supporting Obama very early — as befits a legendary speculative investor always looking for opportunities. Obama coveted support from George Soros and Soros responded — along with many family members and probably the Soros ring of wealthy donors. Soros even found a loophole that allowed him and assorted family members to exceed regular limits on campaign contributions.

    Soros is also a fierce foe of Israel, for years funding groups that have worked against Israel. He is also a man who has flexed his political muscle as a major funder of Democrat candidates and a slew of so-called 527 groups that are active in pushing their agendas (a reliance on international institutions, defeat of Republicans, Bush-bashing, Israel-bashing). He has also openly proclaimed his desire to break the bonds between America and Israel and has written of his desire to erode political support for Israel.

    Soros also called for concessions to Hamas — a terror group that has killed many innocent people and that has called for the destruction of Israel. When this came to light, some leading Democrats personally denounced Soros; Obama had a spokesman issue this rather bland statement:

    “Mr. Soros is entitled to his opinions,” a campaign spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said. “But on this issue he and Senator Obama disagree. Sound familiar? It is similar to the response the Soros campaign has given regarding Obama’s close relationship with Pastor Wright.

    This mild reproach did not prevent Obama from appearing a few weeks later with George Soros at a fundraiser.

    Soros invests when he sees a large return as likely; he proverbially “broke the Bank of England” a few years ago speculating on the pound. Does he intend to break the American-Israel alliance?

  31. h peskin, you’re argument could just as well have applied to Nazi Germany prior to the second world war. Then it was a Eruopean problem. The jihad is global. Some jihads are more localized but it is all part and parcel of the global jihad. You’re thinking is naive and dangerous. As they say, the Jews are the “miner’s canary.”

    First they came for the Jews
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for the Communists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Communist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left
    to speak out for me.

  33. h peskin, don’t know if you’ve read it. I listened to John Mearsheimer and Steven Walt’s “The Israel Lobby And U.S. Foreign Policy.” They make some interesting points in the book. Their essential point however is your point, post cold war, Israel has little to no value to America in terms of her security and “prosperity” interests. So in other words, America might as well feed the Jews to the jihadist wolves. Why not? Israel has out-lived her value to selfish Americans. To me, you, Walt, Measheimer and others are what I call moral cowards.

    Laura, that’s a really great point! Andy Stern, in his book entitled: OIL From Rockefeller to Iraq and Beyond highlights how the United States hired Osama bin Laden, Sadaam Hussein, and Gaddafi to oust dictator governments who were not cooperating with the U.S. interest. With time, they were paid to turn against us. I wonder why Gaddafi is still alive or Fidel Castro! Ever wonder? And just how did we allow Hizbollah and Hamas to rise up? I would definitely rather see the U.S. in control of the oil and petroleum, rather than Islamic fascists and we are not to blame for Osama, Saddam or Gaddafi betraying us, but we are responsible for the genocide these lunatics commit against the State of Israel. Between the bad policies of Bush and Clinton’s two-state solution, Israel has had tremendous loss of life and no amount of oil is worth the lifeblood of each Israeli life lost. I would rather the U.S. bust a move and wipe out Iran off the face of the earth to give Ahminijahad a taste of his own poison. You should see my OIL HISTORY volumes! The fact that Ahamadnijihad was allowed to go to Columbia University…..ever wonder why? Columbia is a ROCKEFELLER sponsored university! Know how much money the U.S. and Europe are earning with Iran? A lot! $$$$$$$ Every time you see a decision that is WHACKED - follow the money! MONEY delegates decisions.

  36. No the sky is not falling if Obama becomes President. After all he turned out to be a lot wiser than most of us by voting against waging war in Iraq.

    A brief resume of events:
    The real fall-out from the US invasion of Iraq is the greatly
    heightened prestige of Islamist revolutionaries throughout the Arab world.
    Whether this will ever result in a successful Islamist revolution in a
    major Arab country remains to be seen — they have been trying and failing
    for thirty years now — but the odds have probably shifted somewhat in that
    direction.

    And the big loser of this decade’s events is Israel, which must now
    deal with a strengthened Iran, a Gaza Strip under Islamist control, and a
    United States in retreat from the Middle East. It still faces no serious
    military threat from its neighbours, but its political options are
    significantly narrower than they were.

    It’s not much of a headline: “Small, Nasty War in Iraq Ends; Middle
    East Largely Unaffected.” But then, history often works like that.

  39. The Nation of Islam is a group of Negroes’ who support the unorthodox Muslim Cult of Islam (MCI). There is also an orthodox religion of Islam. This information consists of monographs that have been prepared and released to the public. The MCI is dedicated to the circulation of hatred against the white race. The Nation of Islam teaches from the Koran, and the profession of faith teaches “there is no one God but Allah,” and “God is one in His Person, His Attributes and His Works.” There are additional teachings, most of which follow the religious beliefs of other religions. In the ninth month of the year (different times of the year, because they follow the lunar calendar), Islamic Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca. This month is known as Ramadan. During the month of Ramadan, most Islamic people are prohibited from eating or drinking from dawn until sunset. The only exceptions are small children, pregnant women and those working in the medical field. The principles of Islam are to pray five times a day (in Muslim countries, there are regular calls to prayer), believe in the bible, perform charity work, and study the Koran. The Fruit of Islam is the military section of the MCI.

  40. Steve Klein,

    You are WRONG! You missed this round of double Jeopardy.

    Clinton, Obama vote ‘no’ on Senate Iraq bill
    Other presidential candidates: Dodd joins in ‘no’ vote; Biden votes ‘yes’
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18862112/

    WASHINGTON - Courting the anti-war constituency, Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama both voted against legislation that pays for the Iraq war but lacks a timeline for troop withdrawal. THIS PROVES THAT OBAMA VOTES AGAINST THE WAR BY CUTTING OFF FUNDING.

  41. Steve Klein
    re. 33. The obvious fact is that big powerful friends have a tendency to help you only when it suits their interests.

    Saying that does not in any way mean that I endorse such a course of action. I am merely stating the obvious.

    This does not only apply to the Israeli-American connection.

    Another example involving Israel. For many years Israel has had a close military relationship with the Kurds of Iraq. Israel provided arms, training and technical support. However when Turkey invaded the Kurdish region, Israel made a complete U- turn and assisted Turkey. Israel’s calculation was that their Turkish connection was far more important to their overall interests than their involvement with the Kurds.

    I am not making any value judgements here, but that is just the way things are in
    international affairs.

    Steve I am sorry if I sound cynical,and keep bringing up reality and facts- but living in a
    dream world will change absolutely nothing.

  42. Sunstartmf33.

    LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.

    Only
    If you had the ability to change the colour of your skin to black.

    Only
    If you could live the black experience for a few weeks, or a few months.

    Only then can you criticize blacks for their sense of bitterness, and yes hatred.

    Check the history of Blacks In America and perhaps you might have a slight inkling as to their present attitude.

    And yourself and others at Israepundit who are ganging up on Obama engaging in rumour mongering, character assassination, are perpetuating the great American past-time of racism.

    Its time to stop this moral lynching.

    Comment by Steve Klein — March 29, 2008 @ 6:53 am



  44. h peskin, how to explain those black Americans who have forgiven previous generations of white Americans, who harbor no bitterness and hatred for this generation, who have embraced the American identity, and love their country? There are tens of thousands of black Americans who have done just that. There are black Americans living and working in every community, every industry in the United States. They are fully integrated.

    There are some white Americans who are still racist just as there are some black Americans who are racist. These are the hangers-on who like to stoke the flames, the hard core haters, who will not judge a man by his character but by the color of their skin. The white racists have been completely marginalized but not so the black. Black racism is tolerated by whites as if it was payback and perhaps that is as it should be. But not for long. In another generation it must be gone.

    Obama is both and neither. He has had one foot firmly planted in each camp. Now that he wants to be President, he has to choose. Is he going to indulge angry black racists whose time must pass or is he going to choose to be just a man and stand with other men, who happen to be black or white? If he doesn’t, then he’s just another crass politician and will be subjected to the intense criticism that he is now receiving on Israpundit and elsewhere.

  45. Beware, be vary AWARE of BHusseinO & Oprah…
    Posted by str8t_talk on Sunday, March 02, 2008 4:47:32 PM
    I checked this out on Oprah’s site and Robert Schuller’s site…Unfortunately it is VERY true…I think anyone who does not vote against Obama in the election is doing our country a disservice, in my opinion. ~Str8

    Subject: Oprah joins false prophets Bible warned about… http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/007/smith-oprah.htm or

    “Oprah and Friends” to teach course on New Age Christ…Jesus Christ being reinvented, redefined, and blasphemed and, this false New- Age Christ teaching is about to make huge inroads into the world, with the help of the queen of television talk shows, Oprah Winfrey.

    Oprah Winfrey, beginning January 1, 2008, on her daily radio program will offer a year-long course on the New Age Christ, in a lesson a day and completely cover the 365 lessons from the Course in Miracles “Workbook.” Listeners will be encouraged to buy A Course in Miracles for the year-long course, and an audio version, recited by Richard (John Boy Walton) Thomas will be available on compact disc. Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual mindset-a New Age worldview that includes the beliefs that there is no sin, no evil, and no devil. A Course in Miracles teaches its students to rethink everything they believe about God and life, and,
    bluntly states: “This is a course in mind training” and is dedicated to “thought reversal.”

    The Course in Miracles -in reality- is the truth of the Bible turned upside down.

    Oprah told her television audience that Williamson’s book, A Course in Miracles was one of her favorite books, and that she had already bought a thousand copies and would be handing them out to everyone in her studio audience. Oprah’s endorsement skyrocketed Williamson’s book to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. A Course in Miracles is allegedly a “new revelation” from “Jesus” to help humanity work through these troubled times. This “Jesus”-who bears no doctrinal resemblance to the Bible’s Jesus Christ-began delivering channeled teachings in 1965 to a Columbia University Professor of Medical Psychology, Helen Schucman. One day Schucman heard an “inner voice” stating, “This is a course in miracles. Please take notes.” For seven years she diligently took spiritual dictation from this voice that described himself as “Jesus.” Here are some quotes from the “Jesus” voice of A Course in Miracles:
    · “There is no sin . . .”
    · A “slain Christ has no meaning.”
    · “The journey to the cross should be the last ‘useless journey.”
    · “Do not make the pathetic error of ‘clinging to the old rugged cross.’”
    · “The Name of Jesus Christ is a symbol; It is a symbol used as a replacement for the many names of all gods to which you pray.”
    · “The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.”
    · “The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.”

    Popular author Wayne Dyer told his PBS television audience that the “brilliant writing” of A Course in Miracles would produce more peace in the world.?? The Course in Miracles-based book, Forgiveness, continues to be sold in Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral bookstore.

    2 Timothy 1-5 1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a “form of godliness,” but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
    It’s not surprising at all that Oprah Winfrey is supporting Barak Obama!!!
    Christians…..Take heed!! And PLEASE pass this one on…..if you never forward anything.

    MARTIN LUTHER KING HAD A DREAM that people wouldn’t be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. So far, the CONTENT OF OBAMA’S CHARACTER IS VERY BLACK! The color of Obama’s skin has nothing to do with the BLACK content of his character. In fact, ANY DEMOCRAT is judged on the basis of the content of their character:

    http://www.nodnc.com THIS WEBSITE CORRECTLY ASSERTS THE CONTENT OF DEMOCRATIC CHARACTER!

    RACE has nothing to do with the Presidential Race! It has everything to dow with ideas and the last post I made says it all as to what kind of “Church” Obama attended for 20 years. It’s definitely an apostate group.

    Comment by sunstartmf33 — March 29, 2008 @ 8:02 pm



  47. When Reverend Wright stated, “GOD DAMN AMERICA!” right after giving Farrakhan an award, I wonder how he would feel if we all said,

    “GOD DAMN REVEREND WRIGHT!”
    “GOD DAMN OBAMA!”
    “GOD DAMN LOUIS FARRKHAN!”
    “GOD DAMN THE TRINITY CHURCH OF CHRIST!”

    Imagine the uproar of the leftist democratic media! However, Reverend Wright said, “GOD DAMN AMERICA!” And it does matter that Obama sat there for 20 years and listened to this guy.

    I have renounced the Baptist Church I grew up in because of their apostasy and as a LEADER will renounce any Church that sets itself up aganst the Knowledge of God.

    And if ANYONE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ISRAEL, such as Obama, Reverend Wright, and Farrakhan have done - I will just throw their mockeries right back in their face - such as I’ve done on my website.

    Comment by sunstartmf33 — March 29, 2008 @ 8:05 pm



  48. You wrote: “When Reverend Wright stated, “GOD DAMN AMERICA”….

    What is more important to note, is the context of this curse on America. Wright was damning America for supporting Israel, a “state sponsor of terrorim.” He was damning America for her own acts of state sponsored terrorism.

    I must believe, to some degree or another, Mr. Obama sympathizes with Wright’s views. Obama has well-known sympathies for the Palestinian Muslim Arab cause and the Muslim Arab world, anti-Israel cause. Obama will negotiate with the most vile jihadist killers. Barack Obama is no friend of Israel or the Jews.

    That having been said, I am watching this vicious anti-Semitic Secretary of State in Jerusalem today, yet again pressuring Israel to make concessions to mass-murderers. She is doing this for her boss, Mr. Bush, whom I also believe is anti-Semitic. Since 9/11, Bush has invested enormous political capital in order to dismantle and to destroy Israel.

    Thus I tend to be for Obama this November; a known Israel-hater. It seems to me, Obama is Israel’s only hope. I don’t think Israel can take another four years of “Israel’s best friend ever” in the White House. After watching Bush for seven years now, I believe a President John McCain will be Israel’s undoing.

    Comment by Steve Klein — March 30, 2008 @ 7:23 am



  49. It is astonishing that anyone could vote for Obama with the weight of evidence revealing a hater of America and a hater of Israel and a person decidedly in favor of those Islamic countries that share his views. To vote for Obama over McCain because Obama is so obvious and open in his Mid-East biases and objectives seems a bit like cutting off one’s nose to spite his face.

    The other thing that never fails to amaze me is Israel’s endless attempts to bow to American demands. Israel has to divorce itself from the political establishment of America and end the charade of the peace process.

    Muammar Qaddafi is now telling the world (on behalf of all Muslims and Arabs) that the “1967 borders are not enough” and Abbas at the same time is condemning Israel in vile language, it is obvious that the Arab world is not and never has been ready for peace. The 50,000 missiles in Lebanon (guarded by the UN for the benefit of Hamas and Iran) need to be taken out pre-emptively.

    Israel can’t afford any more visits by Rice. She is pushing the Bush agenda that involves his vainglorious attempts to write a positive footnote in the Muslim history books for his contribution to Israel’s destruction.

    Comment by Gary — March 30, 2008 @ 8:12 am



  50. Gary, let me ask you a question. Did you vote for Mr. Bush again in 2004? If you did, why?

    I am a thirty seven year registered (conservative) Republican, former eight year precinct committeeman in our local Republican Executive Committee.

    Why should we vote for John McCain?

    Comment by Steve Klein — March 30, 2008 @ 8:21 am



  51. Steve: As a Canadian I voted for Steven Harper and I will do so again. He is good for Canada and a good example for all world leaders, including McCain should he gain power in the USA.

    Comment by Gary — March 30, 2008 @ 11:16 am



  52. Gary, I don’t know if you are Jewish or not. Are you a Jew? For me, a Jew, I hope to put Israel first when I vote at the national level. Since Mr. Bush made the establishment of a Palestinian (terrorist) state a formal goal of U.S. policy, things are different when I vote because Israel must come first. Before, social issues (I am a social conservative), taxes and other domestic issues were a big concern, as was foreign policy. Now my central focus is Israel.

    I believe what is good for Israel and her security is also good for America and her security. Consequently, it is very unlikely (close to nil) I will vote for John McCain this coming November, unless by some miracle, McCain alters our party’s goal of destroying Israel as Bush had codified in our 2004 national party platform.

    I’ve gotten to the point, I would rather vote for a true believer than a hypocrite for U.S. president. Barack Obama — similar to many leftists — is a true believer in the essential goodness of our enemies; Obama is a true believer in appeasement and retreat, unilateral disarmament, etc. He’s a leftist.

    George W. Bush is a hypocrite. He is corrupt and duplicitous. I refuse to vote for these men until they change their ways. They will not get my vote.

    Comment by Steve Klein — March 30, 2008 @ 11:30 am



  53. Steve: I see your dilemma: you choose to vote for the clear cut hater (of America and Israel) over a new leader of a party that currently and in the very recent past has in effect made the Islamic Terror State(s) of Palestine an inevitability.

    The obvious question to you is: Why vote at all? In effect you have no good choice and yet you have decided to go with the worst candidate. That seems very weird to my way of thinking.

    Comment by Gary — March 30, 2008 @ 11:48 am



  54. Yours is a good question. I’ve got a few months to think about it. I may not vote in the presidential race. We’ll see. In 2004, I turned the page, voting for neither Bush or Kerry. Later I regretted not voting against Bush; for Kerry because in August 2005 we saw a massive retreat from Jewish land.

    Bush apologists insists disengagement was Sharon’s idea. But they leave out the all important fact that Sharon was under intense White House pressure to cede land to the jihadists. This is not to excuse Sharon. There is no excuse for this terrible betrayal by Sharon. Were I in Sharon’s shoes, I would have stood by Sharon’s initital Czechoslovakia warning, early October 2001, only days after the 9/11 atrocities. Do you remember it?

    I call on the Western democracies and primarily the leader of the free world, the United States: Do not repeat the dreadful mistake of 1938 when enlightened European democracies decided to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for a convenient temporary solution. Do not try to appease the Arabs on our expense. This is unacceptable to us. Israel will not be Czechoslovakia. Israel will fight terrorism.

    CNN’S JOHN KING: What angered Washington most was Sharon’s comparison to Europe ceding parts of Czechoslovakia to Hitler, suggesting that in its aggressive effort to court Arab nations for the coalition against terrorism, the United States was turning its back on Israel’s security.

    ARI FLEISCHER, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: The president believes that these remarks are unacceptable. Israel can have no better or stronger friend than the United States, and better friend than President Bush.

    KING: Secretary of State Colin called Sharon once to voice the president’s displeasure, then again later, after the prime minister agreed to issue a conciliatory statement.

    Mr. Bush should have been angered. Sharon compared him to Neville Chamberlain, an apt comparison in my opinion. Were I Sharon, I would have gone around Bush and appealed to Congress and to the American people. All that failing, still I would have stood my ground, telling President simply Bush we cannot afford to do this. If Bush decided to force Israel by cutting aid, so be it. That’s the price we Jews must be willing to pay in order to survive. But that is all water under the bridge.

    Bush wants Israel destroyed, no question about it. He is a vicious, inveterate enemy; both he and his assistant, Dr. Rice. So is John McCain. So is Barack Obama. These are all enemies of the Jews.

    In the final analysis, you may be right, it doesn’t really matter because both parties are committed to the establishment of a Palestinian terror state in Israel. The question in my mind is, which party will have more power and influence over the Jews in Israel to push this evil thing forward. Bush and the Republicans have been stunningly successful, in part because my party is correctly perceived as being strong on national security. Only it’s America’s national security the Republicans are concerned with, Israel’s security be damned.

  55. Only
    If you had the ability to change the colour of your skin to black.

    SUNSTAR RESPONSE:

    Obama raised his right hand and said, “SEE, WE ARE ALL WHITE UNDERNEATH!” Black people have white hands, white feet, white teeth, white eyes, and white bones, therefore the statement is TRUTH that we are ALL white underneath. This is a FACT! Sense of humor intended, but it’s still a fact - a point I repeatedly make with such statements as: OBAMA’S PLANET OF THE APES - THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD, intended to make people laugh, even though Obama is a serious issue who is not funny at all.

    Only
    If you could live the black experience for a few weeks, or a few months.

    SUNSTAR RESPONSE:

    If YOU COULD LIVE THE WHITE EXPERIENCE FOR A FEW WEEKS under a BLACK DOMINANT corporation where a black person is in charge of Human Resources or as your CEO, you would experience what’s called: REVERSE DISCRIMNATION! Try living as a white person under a dominant black society! Wait a minute, now you can’t call ALL BLACKS or ALL WHITES racist! Let’s be fair. Under a “Christian” black society RACISM would not exist. Under a “Christian” white society, racism would not exist. And just what are you talking about?

    Blacks took over basketball and football because they are clearly the better athletes! Every black I PERSONALLY KNOW is a Christian and race never becomes an issue because we are all equal under the God of Israel.

    H PESKIN
    Only then can you criticize blacks for their sense of bitterness, and yes hatred.

    SUNSTAR
    Bitterness and hatred are from the devil and THE BLOOD RUNS RED FOR EVERYONE WHO HATES. Only when someone gives you a good punch in the nose will you realize that RED, WHITE, AND BLUE are colors that don’t run! In your case, BLACKS DO RUN!

    HPESKIN
    Check the history of Blacks In America and perhaps you might have a slight inkling as to their present attitude.

    SUNSTAR
    Yes, many WHITE MEN DIED IN THE CIVIL WAR; many WHITE MEN died for Abraham Lincoln to free blacks from the Confederate South, BASED ON BIBLICAL WISDOM! Good and decent WHITE MEN supported Martin Luther King Junior’s DREAM while opposing Malcom X. Obama is clearly a Malcolm X RACIST Islamic hater and not a Martin Luther King. I respected Martin Luther King and despised Malcolm X, just as I respected COLIN POWELL but do not respect Obama.

    Martin Luther King Junior DREAMED of a day that a black man wouldn’t be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character - the content of Obama’s character is truly BLACK!

    HPESKIN
    And yourself and others at Israepundit who are ganging up on Obama engaging in rumour mongering, character assassination, are perpetuating the great American past-time of racism.

    SUNSTAR
    Heh! Heh! Laughter. You are such a poor, pathetic victim. The content of your characte is BLACK and you’ve proven them. Time to MOVE ON but without MOVEON.ORG politics!

    I am a thirty seven year registered (conservative) Republican, former eight year precinct committeeman in our local Republican Executive Committee.

    Why should we vote for John McCain?

    SUNSTAR RESPONSE

    I know you addressed Gary, but I’d like to comment about Bush and McCain for a moment:

    Bush Jr. & John F. Kerry’s Membership In The Skull & Bones Society - Is It Relevant Or Irrelevant To WWIII?
    http://freemasonrywatch.org/theskulls.html

    Okay. so Bush and Kerry were both SKULL AND BONES MEMBERS.

    Which former SKULL and BONES member had the better IDEAS?

    Now Fox News is a team of the most excellent news reporters in the world. They will convince everyone Christian, me included, that Bush is the best man for the job of being Commander-in-Chief and for showing us the beliefs and principles which George Bush expresses:
    1. He is a Christian Man with Faith in Jesus Christ
    2. He is against homosexual marriages
    3. He will not use Federal Money to fund stem cell research
    4. He has honesty and integrity
    5. You know where Bush stands
    6. He is against partial birth abortion
    7. He has handled the war against Islamic Terrorism extremely well
    8. He is against the United Nations having authority or decisions over our U.S. troops and will not have our troops tried in a criminal court.
    9. He wants car companies to transfer to hybrids & electric cars
    10. The first bill he signs is the Faith-Based Initiative, granting Faith-Based programs $4 billion to help needy families
    Kerry was for none of this and became the adversary of every one of Bush’s beliefs and principles and does not look like, nor sound like he is competent to lead this country anywhere, except into enemy hands.
    In our war of Democrat versus Republican, it appears as if the Republican party is fighting against the devil’s chronies on the goat left with the Biblical approach of righteousness, truth & justice and our American Way of the pursuit of freedom.
    Although the war was tainted by oil and petroleum interests, the righteous cause of liberating Iraqis from Islamic fascism to create a better world for women and children was and is a cause worth fighting for.
    Yet, we non-partisans, who are neither Republican, nor Democrat, (although I am voting for Bush as the better candidate for the job of U.S. Presidency and Commander-in-Chief) are greatly concerned over the Bush and Kerry involvement with Skull & Bones in their early years. Each person, when they hear about the Bush involvement with Skull & Bones, either shrugs and says, “So what?” or doubts in Bush and doesn’t trust him, due to his father’s statement of America being led into a “New World Order.”
    I voted for Bush, because although he might have once been involved with the Masonic Lodge, he is definitely a Christian Mason, and historically, Christian Masons have been more Biblical than the New Age Occult Masons, such as Clinton and Kerry. I am not saying that Masonry is Biblical, nor am I supporting the Skull and Bones Society by supporting Bush’s leadership. I support Bush the man, for the good decisions he made in FIGHTING against false peace and I applauded Fox News during his administration for reporting news in the proper context of patriotism for America and Israel against terrorist murderers. Although I have always been against capitalism, I have always been a supporter of my country and Israel as a Nation. I applaud any man who stands up for Biblical Truth in a world that hates God and tries to put a happy face smile on gods who don’t exist.
    I would fight for a man like Bush, but not a man like Kerry. If they are both Masons then what is the difference? Is Bush sincere in his faith in Christ or is he part of a Master plan to lure Christians into Globalization politics? Is Bush the good pawn being used by the knights of darkness, to draw out the Christians and obtain the Christian vote? If there were some kind of devious manipulation going on, then Bush would have followed Kerry’s view of transferring U.S. power of war over to the decision of the U.N. Bush would not have stood up for the Biblical principles he believes in, unless of course, like Lucis Trust, we are combining the Jesus of the Gospel with the Jesus of every culture. I will be honest in telling you that I don’t know President Bush’s true heart or his true intentions or how he got seated in power to the highest offices of U.S. Government.
    As a non-partisan voter who voted Republican in 2000 and is voting Republican again in 2004, the mere question of the Bush involvement with Masons, the Masonic Lodge, as well as their younger days of being involved with Skull & Bones, casts a shadow government upon both his dad and his own initiation as our U.S. Presidents, for if it is true, that they are Masonic Christians, and not just Christians, then we have a problem to be addressed. It is possible to be a part of the Masonic Lodge, advance through the degrees, and treat it as a Fraternity on a College Campus. That is what the Skull & Bones Membership was for Bush & Kerry – a Fraternity Initiation on a College Campus – the most elite one around. There is a lot of hype about this Fraternity, its secrecy, its rituals, its high-power connections. I personally don’t trust any man to be my leader since Jesus is my only leader and the only entity who represents my Commander-in-Chief, but I have some questions as I go to the voting booth and vote Bush into office, as I think he is the best man to prevent the beasts of Islam in taking over the world and making towel heads out of all of us.
    Has Bush repented of shaking hands with Masons? Or is Bush still friends with Masons? Is he getting his money and finances for war from wealthy Masons? Christians seems not to care, so long as we have a Christian President. I agree. Having a Christian Mason is better than having a New Age Mason for President, because at least a Christian Mason has sworn allegiance to the Bible, whereas a New Age Mason has sworn allegiance to every god except the Biblical God.
    Although by Biblical definition, you cannot be a Mason and a Christian, there are wealthy Christians who are Masons that don’t understand the occult dimensions of the Fraternity they have sworn allegiance to. In fact, ALL CHURCHES ARE UNAWARE THAT THEIR BUSINESS IS LOCKED INTO THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC BEAST SYSTEM ALREADY.
    ALL CHURCHES ARE LOCKED INTO THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM. EVERY PULPIT IS LOCKED INTO BANK DEBT. ALMOST EVERY STUDENT OF THEOLOGY WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE IS LOCKED INTO BANK DEBT. CAN WE TRUST THE SYSTEM TO LEAD OUR CHURCHES TO JESUS CHRIST? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
    WE CAN VOTE FOR A CHRISTIAN PRESIDENT WHO HAS BIBLICAL IDEAS, BUT THE AMERICAN SYSTEM ITSELF HAS FINANCIAL CONTROL OF OUR CHURCHES, DESPITE THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS.
    YOU WILL DISCOVER AMONG OUR “CHRISTIAN” CHURCHES, EITHER REBELLION OR COMPROMISE, REVOLUTION OR SURRENDER TO THE GOVERNING AUTHORITIES.

    That is what i wrote in 2004 when I voted for Bush.

  57. George W. Bush is an enemy of Israel. How could you vote for this monster, knowing his is our enemy? 2000 I can understand. 2004? Bush made clear he is our enemy. How could you vote again for him?

  58. OBAMA VERSUS MCAIN IS ABOUT IDEAS

    As a voter, I am FORCED to choose a candidate who is trying to keep our system alive. McCain’s speech, IF SINCERE, has won my vote with CAUTION. If MCCain dies, as he is very old and could croak next year, as I indicated earlier as a reason not to vote for him, we need a GOOD BACKUP VP and I’m convinced that Huckabee is a Biblical candidate who can be trusted! I pray we push for Huckabee to be VP as Guiliani does not want to be VP.

    I like Republican Conservatives for their Biblical positions of keeping the Ten Commandments in our courts of law; for keeping prayer in school; for keeping the cross and the nativity; for keeping IN GOD WE TRUST around; fighting against homosexual marriages; homosexual adoptions; and the porn industry aspirations to corrupt our children (for although every man loves and adores the naked female body, children should not be corrupted with sex so early) for being patriotic for the Republic and taking a stand in the war on Islamic fascism; for honoring our soldiers; for turning a bad cause in oil and petroleum revenues into something good and decent; for proving that some Masons are not on Satan’s side, but on God’s side, despite the un-biblical doctrines Masonry teaches; for opposing partial birth abortions and higher taxes; I do like Huckabee’s approach to taxes and eliminating the IRS; I loved McCain’s speech yesterday and believe that IF HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH, he ought to be given a chance to prove himself and I will conclude one position behind my vote:

    HE IS A BETTER MAN THAN OBAMA WITH BETTER IDEAS.

    THE OBAMA AND HILLARY intoxication has to do with DEMOCRATIC HATRED of Biblical thought and they are in opposition to most Biblical thoughts and ideas.

    We stand too much to loose forever if Obama or Hillary win 2008 and it is within this context that I vote for McCain IF he isn’t lying and at this point I can’t look into his heart or mind and know what he is thinking and feeling today. Only the Lord can do that!
    I will say this much: Because of FOX NEWS TEAM, I am proud to be an American and can understand BOTH the views of Alex Jones and the views of Bill O’Reilly in a patriotic fashion!

    I can still be a 1960s hippie against the imperial capitalist pig, while at the same time supporting, defending and praying for our soldiers who are fighting in the Middle East; SUPPORT THIS PARTICULAR WAR against Islamic aggression; SUPPORT the dethronement of the Ayatollahs and Ahminijihad; and pray for our current political and corporate leaders; it’s hard to believe in the Revelation context that everything we take for granted will be destroyed by Earth’s Owner because we are spinning out of control towards the Revelation 13 and Revelation 20 scenario with the Rockefeller and Rothschild aspirations at the forefront of handing earth over to Satan and his advocates.

    But NOT ON OUR WATCH THEY DON’T!

    As a non-partisan Christian, who is a little bit liberal in a Biblical context and a little bit conservative in a Biblical context I match up every idea with Biblical Faith and Truth and support GOOD IDEAS, not in a political party basis, but in a humane basis.

    sunstartmf33, if you are voting based on your Biblcal convictions, you are missing the central imperative in our Bible. Entirely.

  61. Ted Belman is by far the best Obama researcher online yet. I just soak up everything he writes about, talks about and posts. I would have to respect Ted Belman like I respect Fox News, the Weekly Standard, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and other heroes of the written word. Ted Belman impresses me like the Lekarev report impresses me - like all FAITHFUL Jews and Christians impress me.

    Ted Belman is a man who cares about Israel and sees the bigger picture of the importance of continuing the war against Islamic fascism, which plagues the Israeli people and making an important distinction with anyone who is connected with Islamic fascism and hatred of the Jewish State and American Republic.

    Ted has my respect as the writer of the year - covering Obama unlike any other reporter in the most intelligent, insightful, and factual way.

    I know I have a dark sense of humor and tend to be harsh at times, as my style of writing is meant to inspire and make people laugh and OFFEND those who are offensive to Biblical Faith, Wisdom, and Freedom - turning their mockery right back on them and taking the mockery they throw at us and throw it right back at them.

    Ted gets my applause for the Obama coverage and I plan to reference his site to everyone I know!

    G-d bless Ted Belman, respectfully…………

  62. I disagree with Bush and Rice two-state solution and everyone I know understands my position which is in conflict with what Rice and Bush have decided in their two-state solution rhetoric.

    There is a lot to criticize the Bush family for, but I still say he was the better choice for a President than Gore, Kerry and the Clintons who betrayed Israel even worse than Bush did. While democrats were busy kissing and screwing ass, Republicans were busy kicking ass on the battlefield.

    I pray for President Bush as much as I pray for the State of Israel. And if you think that Bush was bad, wait until you see the future Presidents. 2008 is proving to be a scary year in politics - especially if Hillary or Obama win the White House. If they do, you can kiss America and Israel goodbye.

    I hope McCain believes what he has said to the public from his heart and IF he isn’t lying and creating fanciful speeches, like Hillary and Obama are - I will be voting for MCCain.

    While Hillary and Obama want to wimp out and leave Israel alone in the midst of the beasts of Islam, at least McCain wants to hang in there and not give up on our soldiers, on America, or on Israel!

    Our American presence in Iraq is keeping Iran at bay and that chimpanzee called I-mean-a-jihad in Iran is a sissy! As Israelis make an intelligent choice to remove the treasonous Olmert and Peres from offices they don’t deserve, hopefully Iran can be taken out before they build the bomb and I hope that McCain becomes our next President so we can move on without the democratic aspirations to destroy Israel and America as they historically did all throughout the 20th century!
