Saudi Newspaper Columnist Could Face Death Penalty

2 Comments

More intolerance from the so-called religion of peace. That would be Islam. The place is Saudi Arabia. A reporter’s life is in jeopardy because he questioned something about the ‘Prophet Muhammad’ on what is believed to be his birthday. According to the article, ‘Insulting the prophet is considered blasphemy in Islam and is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia.’

The propensity for Muslims who decide they are offended in the name of the head of their faith to resort to murder is difficult to understand for someone who lives in a country where there still is religious freedom and freedom of thought, the press. As a matter of fact, in America, that freedom is guaranteed in writing.

There was plenty for Christians to be insulted about Sunday night at the Grammy Awards show. Although it was insulting to the faith and Christians, I doubt that Jesus was offended. He is above all that. He is forgiving. Chalk it up to a rebellious tramp that wants attention. She got it. And she is forgiven.

Are we to understand that the faith of the Prophet Muhammad is based on revenge and murder? It seems as though the people who want this kid killed feel an obligation to murder other people to advance their religion. Or at least their version of their religion. I’m not sure which it is. Maybe an Imam somewhere out there can explain it for us?

That there is no such thing as religious freedom in Saudi Arabia should be obvious from the subject of this story. Despite what Saudi Arabia CLAIMS.

Abortion, Birth Control, Democrats’ Holy Sacrament

The clash of religions has finally come to the forefront. Those Americans who believe that the Constitution and Bill of Rights, personal freedom, personal responsibility and liberty mean something are rising up against the provision in Obamacare that mandates that religious organizations provide contraception and abortion access even though it is against their faith or be fined (any amount) are finally seeing what motivates and animates the Liberal/Progressive wing of the Democratics {sic} Party.

It’s all about power. The power of the government to not just govern, but to control as many aspects of our lives as possible. Like any good Marxist regime would do.

It’s not like these kind of services are not already available in any county or state health department, Planned Parenthood, or any other abortion club. But that’s not enough for these Marxists. They want to force private and religious institutions to do it too, or be fined hundreds of millions of dollars.

Hearken back when the Obama administration was trying to get the un-Affordable Health Care Act passed. States had to be bribed. In order to get their last vote, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), had to be convinced that the bill would not pay for such things. And on top of that, we were not allowed to see what was in the bill before it was deemed passed. Remember Nancy Pelosi saying, we have to pass it to see what’s in it?

And where is the media on Obama’s subterfuge? Nowhere but complicit.

To get their agenda into law, Obama and his acolytes have to lie about their true intentions, knowing that the dumb masses will accept whatever they say. But hey, as long as most of the country can get on the government dole, who cares anymore?

Some democratics care, as do all of the republican candidates for president. That’s who.

Another Diplomatic Disaster For The Unites States

Leave the upcoming military confrontation with Iran aside for a moment. And put Russia and China on the back burner as countries hostile to humanity for condoning Syria’s murdering of their own citizens. Which at the same time highlights the uselessness of the United Nations and its Security Council.

Set that aside for now so you can concentrate on how Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Egypt is sending 19 American NGO (non governmental organization) workers to trial for ‘crimes’ like promoting democracy and human rights and for receiving funds to support them and their mission.

The Muslim Brotherhood used the NGO’s to help overthrow former President Hosni Mubarak. The ‘democracy’ that got rid of Mubarak is no longer needed. Now, they are holding 43 of them prisoner and moving to the oppressive Sharia law.

One of the Americans held captive is Sam LaHood, the son of Secretary of  Transportation Ray LaHood. Sam LaHood is the head of the Egypt office of the Washington-based International Republican Institute.

I don’t attribute any of that as, like Joe Biden had warned, that President Obama will be tested on the international stage. This is a result of a combination of his inexperience, naivety, and his pre-occupation with transforming the United States into some form of government-controlled society where the federal government makes all decisions for you.

Three years ago, then Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) said . . .

Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.

And they have not stopped.

Makes one wonder if Biden made that statement because he knew what would follow when the top of the ticket is clueless on any subject besides ‘social justice.’

Why Is Obama MIA On Iran’s Threats?

As Iran continues to tweak the United States, and the international community in general, with its threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, and test firing long and short-range missiles, and showing off its nuclear capabilities in nuclear warhead technologies, the American people are wondering when President Obama will address them from behind his desk in the Oval Office. As Commander-in-Chief, he should be the one to bring us up to date with Iran’s sabre rattling, and tell us, and the mullahs in Iran, how he intends to handle the potentially disastrous course that Iran is on.

Instead, this is what we get from The White House . . .

Iran’s latest warning “reflects the fact that Iran is in a position of weakness,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters, adding that Tehran’s threats suggest “a measure of the impact that the sanctions have been having on Iran.”

It was the media, coupled with Obama’s own audacity, that made President Obama. Set him up to be the messiah. The One who would turn radical Islamists into friends and neighbors, change the climate and lower the sea level. So where are they now?

If there were a diagnostic list for the symptoms of a regime gone rogue, Iran would tick off every box. Taking hostages? Check. Sponsoring terrorism? Check. Covertly pursuing nuclear weapons? Check. Under international sanctions? Check. Repressing its own people? Check. Threatening to close the world’s oil highway, the Strait of Hormuz, in international waters? Check.

And where is our President on this? He is not found in the Oval Office, addressing the American people on Iran’s threats. He’s on the back nine. Obama’s absence on this topic shows Iran Obama’s weakness. It’s a real knee-slapper for Iran. And for Obama, it’s like ‘voting present.’

How’s that ‘improving our image” around the world and in Islamic countries working out?

Radical Muslims, Egypt’s Military, Kill 26 Christians

It will be revealing to see how, or whether, President Obama deals with the church bombings, rioting, and the killing of 26 Coptic Christians in Egypt over the weekend.

Will he . . .

  1. ask Americans and the rest of the less-free world to join Egypt’s Coptic church in three days of mourning?
  2. publicly and clearly condemn not only the actions of the radical Muslims and Egypt’s military for the role they played, but also condemn the Muslim’s attitude of superiority and religious intolerance that started it all?
  3. humbly accept responsibility for his role in feuling the uprising and apologize? He has made apologies when none was called for. This time, it is called for.
  4. go to a re-election campaign fundraiser?

Associated Press reports . . .

Egypt’s Coptic church blasted authorities Monday for allowing repeated attacks on Christians with impunity as the death toll from a night of rioting rose to 26, most of them Christians who were trying to stage a peaceful protest in Cairo over an attack on a church.

The spiritual leader of the Coptic Christian minority, Pope Shenouda III, declared three days of mourning, praying and fasting for the victims starting on Tuesday and also presided over funerals for some of the Christians killed. Sunday’s sectarian violence was the worst in Egypt since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak in February.

For the role he claims to have played in the Arab Spring, President Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm, Mmm, mmmm), the one who was going to unify the world,  now has Christians’ blood on his hands.

Civilians Killed In Pakistan

At least six civilians have been killed in a bomb blast outside the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar. This time it is not from a drone strike on a Taliban hideout. This is Muslim on Muslim terrorism.

No word on whether any Korans were also blown up. There would be hell to pay for that.

So far there are no fatwas ordered on the perpetrators. And why is that you ask? Probably because Islam is the religion of peace and Allah is all-knowing.

Undocumented Christians Rounded Up In Beijing

We know of the danger and threats to a country that undocumented aliens can cause. But did you know that in communist China undocumented Christian churches are too!

“I think this reflects the overall panic mood of the government leadership over what’s happening in the Middle East and north Africa,” said Bob Fu of the China Aid Association, a Texas-based group critical of China’s controls on religion, which has monitored the Shouwang Church dispute.

Is it really anything new? China has suppressed religion all along. And Tiananmen Square proved that they don’t like public displays of anything that is contrary to, or not approved by, the government.

Herman Cain Explains ‘No Muslim’ Comment

6 Comments

Potential candidate for president Herman Cain was asked one of those ‘gotcha’ questions by some reporter. Something like, would you put a Muslim in your cabinet?

Knowing that the Koran, or Quran, promotes deception (lying) for the purpose of advancing Islam, Mr. Cain is more correct than he might know in not putting blind faith in any Muslim.  Because of the Koran, it comes down to trust but verify doesn’t it?

Islam is the only religion that I know of that not only permits but requires deception under certain circumstances. We are engaged in a war right now against radical Islam. Given his explanation above, American Muslims that understand this will also understand why he answered the way he did.

What’s new is that Herman Cain is not going to be distracted by political correctness. Talk about a breath of fresh air.

No Women’s Day In Egypt

I’ll go out on a limb and suggest that the second-class status of women extends beyond Egypt, to wherever fundamentalist Muslim people live. The United States being the possible exception.

Women in Egypt, celebrating International Women’s Day, were met with angry mobs of men telling them to go back home where they belong.

The N.O.W. gang has a new task ahead of them. Should they choose to accept it.
