The Somber Tenth Anniversary of 9/11/01

The grief we all felt on that horrible day just comes rushing back. This morning, as I tuned the T.V. on to C-Span and watched the reading of the names of those killed on 9/11/01, the pain, sadness, and grief all comes back as if the terrorist attacks just happened. Seeing children, who appear to be around the ages of 10-14 reading the names of loved ones at the podium is heartbreaking. Most of them were either infants or up to the age of 4 when this awful tragedy happened to their loved ones.

I could not help but notice the absolute grief on the faces of Michele Obama and Laura Bush. Laura was visibly crying as the cameras panned over to where they were standing with their husbands.

Seeing the names listed along the very long edges where the pools of the Ground Zero memorial stands, makes us realize how many were lost - close to 3,000, when maniacal religious terrorist Muslim zealots used airplanes as missiles and crashed them into the two towers of the World Trade Center and into the Pentagon. The last plane, on that fateful day, in which the heros of Flight 93 fought back and caused the place to crash before reaching its intended destination was the first American effort to fight back against the terrorist cowards. The lives saved on that day by the courageous efforts of the passengers on Flight 93 cannot even be calculated. It is truly satisfying to see the word "deceased" across the face of Osama Bin Laden at the end of one of the 9/11 documentaries.

But the war on terrorism continues to this day. Our brave military will do the work necessary to wipe them out. It will happen, one day. If not by our military strength, then by God's hand when He chooses to send Jesus Christ at the culmination of all history.

We will never forget all of those innocents who lost their lives on 9/11/01. We will keep their loved ones in our thoughts and prayers, asking God to continue to comfort them.

We continue to pray for protection from all evil.

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil

For thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory now and forever. Amen.

May God bless our nation - the United States of America.

A Wake Up Call For God's People

Have you heard about the upcoming  A Wake Up Call event on Sunday, September 11, 2011? If you are a Christian, it is very important that you view and/or participate in this event. Ann Graham Lotz and Joel C. Rosenberg have created this special broadcast event so that it can be seen via several venues.

A Wake Up Call For God's People with Anne Graham Lotz and Joel Rosenberg


A Wake Up Call for God's People with Anne Graham Lotz and Joel Rosenberg from AnGeL Ministries on Vimeo.

Event Dates: Sunday, September 11, 2011

Watch as a church fellowship, community group, or on your home computer. This evening of teaching messages by Anne Graham Lotz and Joel Rosenberg, knit together with authentic worship music led by Selah, we pray, will be used by God to wake up His people. Join us as we consider the times in which we live, refocus on Jesus as our Hope for the future, and ask God to re-ignite such an intense longing for His return that we live the rest of our lives with no regrets.

I also recommend that you read Joel Rosenberg's blog on a daily basis. Here is a copy of his latest post:

More than ever, Israel needs leaders like the “sons of Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” (I Chronicles 12:32, NIV) Israel also needs faithful friends who will show unconditional love and unwavering support for the Jewish people, while also showing love and compassion towards the Palestinians. These are increasingly difficult times for Israel, and Christians around the world need to be even more faithful in prayer for peace and more determined to bless Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus, as The Joshua Fund seeks to do faithfully every day, with your help.
Evidence of a gathering storm continues to mount in the epicenter. Consider the latest:

• “Recent revolutions in the Arab world and the deteriorating ties with Turkey are raising the likelihood of a regional war in the Middle East, IDF Home Front Command Chief, Major General Eyal Eisenberg warned Monday,” reports Ynet News. “‘It looks like the Arab Spring, but it can also be a radical Islamic winter,’ he said in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.”
• “‘This leads us to the conclusion that through a long-term process, the likelihood of an all-out war is increasingly growing,’ the IDF general said.  ‘Iran has not abandoned its nuclear program. The opposite it true; it continues full steam ahead,’ he said. ‘In Egypt, the army is collapsing under the burden of regular security operations, and this is reflected in the loss of control in the Sinai and the turning of the border with Israel into a terror border, with the possibility that Sinai will fall under the control of an Islamic entity.’”
• “Referring to what he characterized as the possibility of a ‘radical Islamic winter,’ Major-General Eisenberg said: ‘This raises the likelihood of an all-out, total war, with the possibility of weapons of mass destruction being used.’”
• A new U.N. report (the “Palmer Report”) investigating Israel’s conduct regarding the Gaza flotilla from Turkey has — surprisingly — actually vindicated the actions of the Israeli military. “Here’s a story for the man-bites-dog folder: The United Nations has conducted another inquiry into an Israeli military operation—and produced a report that mainly vindicates the Jewish state. And here, alas, is a story for the dog-bites-man folder: The Turkish government has responded to the U.N. report by withdrawing its ambassador from Tel Aviv and expelling Israel’s from Ankara. The Palmer report—named for the inquiry’s chairman, former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer—was commissioned by the U.N.’s Secretary General to investigate the May 2010 ‘flotilla incident,’ when six ships sailing from Turkey to Gaza on an alleged humanitarian mission were boarded by Israeli commandos enforcing a naval blockade of Gaza. Nine passengers were killed (and several Israeli soldiers badly beaten) in the ensuing melee, sparking a crisis in Jerusalem’s already frayed relations with Ankara.”
• Yet tensions with Turkey are mounting.
• This week, Turkey expelled Israel’s Ambasador.
• Yesterday, Turkey cut off all trade ties with Israel.
• Meanwhile, evidence continues to mount that Iran is working on nuclear weapons. “The U.N. nuclear agency said Wednesday it is ‘increasingly concerned’ about a stream of intelligence suggesting that Iran continues to work secretly on developing a nuclear payload for a missile and other components of a nuclear weapons program,” reports the Associated Press. “In its report, the International Atomic Energy Agency said ‘many member states’ are providing evidence for that assessment, describing the information it is receiving as credible, ‘extensive and comprehensive.’ The restricted 9-page report was made available Friday to The Associated Press, shortly after being shared internally with the 35 IAEA member nations and the U.N. Security Council.”
• And the Palestinian leadership continues to wage an all-out effort to isolate and delegitimize Israel, while seeking the U.N. General Assembly to vote for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state later this month.

Please continue to pray for the Lord to protect Israel and give her leaders wisdom at this time. Please also consider making a financial contribution to the work of The Joshua Fund as we educate and mobilize Christians around the world to bless Israel and her neighbors, as well as provide humanitarian relief to the poor and needy in the epicenter.

Dear Readers: If you are planning on viewing this special event and if you think that you may be interested in posting comments about it here at Talk Wisdom, please write a brief comment after this post to let me know. I would like to have an open dialogue blog post up for discussion purposes regarding this Wake Up Call event.

Are YOU AWake?


I would also encourage you to spread the news about this event at your blog, website, via email, Face Book etc. so that more of God's people will become aware of the Wake Up Call event. God bless you!

Obama's Lack of Respect is Truly Disgusting

Gateway Pundit had one of the first posts online about Obambi's lack of respect for military families. The fact is that 19 of the 30 families requested that NO MEDIA COVERAGE OR PHOTOS be taken at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware upon the arrival of the remains of our brave warriors who were killed in the Chinook helicopter that was shot down by Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan. So...what does Obama do? He has a shadowed photo taken of himself (I mean C'MON! Does anyone recognize anyone else in that photo??) which TOTALLY DISRESPECTS the requests of the grieving families. Can this creepy, crooked, evil b*****d sink any lower than this?? I'm just outraged and appalled!! I'm SO ANGRY so how must the family members in deep grief feel about this??

I cannot, in good conscience, bring myself to post the photo here so you will have to go here to view it. Even Fox News.com didn't include it in their article:

White House Photo Ceremony for U.S. Troops Killed in Afghanistan Sparks Controversy. I'd change that last word to OUTRAGE!

All that this dumbass Obamarxist cares about is trying to bolster up his terribly deadbeat image for the upcoming election. IMO, he's making himself look like an absolute idiot!! A clueless blunderer who has no genuine honor or integrity. He doesn't even know right from wrong, good from evil, how to be ethical vs. unethical, or even HOW TO SALUTE PROPERLY!

Apparently, I'm far from being the only one totally outraged. Some

You know why I think he did? He had to make sure his profile was clearly seen. Hand close to the head would have obscured it.

Color me skeptical. . . I’ve read


“Officials acknowledge that the destruction was devastating, something supported by the fact it took about four days to gather all of the wreckage and remains.”

and

“August 6, 2011 [Saturday]: A Chinook helo is shot down in Tangi, Wardak Province, Afghanistan.”

&

“From the obituary of Sgt. Patrick Hamburger who served in the Nebraska National Guard as a Chinook Helicopter crewman and crew chief. The family was notified at 5:00pm CDT Saturday afternoon. “

Now if this event took place on Saturday and the msm noted it took four days to gather the wreckage and remains, how is it these remains were prepared, loaded and flown across half the planet . . . from Afghanistan and managed to arrive for this photo op by mid day Wednesday, four days after the attack? Stretching credibility a bit?

Why are the afghan remains shipped stateside at taxpayer expense?


“Thirty-eight cases — 30 draped with American flags and eight with Afghan flags, for Afghan special forces and a civilian translator — were unloaded from two C-17 aircraft. link

CommieJuice commented:
Why does any of this surprise us? The sooner you accept these people never do the right thing, never have done the right thing and never will do the right thing, the better you will be. They are vile, pathetic, evil, Godless humans that have no principles and stand opposite of God and the people’s will. Stories like this are needed to open our eyes to the many ways of their evil, where we can spot it in the future and recognize the propaganda the so-called media presents as fact and news, but there is no surprise on how low zer0bama and his regime can go.

Just remember that they call US, we (the peaceful protesters) terrorist and they call the Taliban misunderstood and the Muslim Brotherhood largely secular.

We stand for family and marriage under God. They stand for abortion and letting the wicked escape justice when they want to murder us and kill our babies. A murderer has a right to live in their eyes, but an unborn baby doesn’t.

They call lower taxes a cost to the government as if they own everything and the money that they can’t steal is lost revenue to them.

We stand for states’ rights. They stand for the EPA and destroying an entire community over a minnow.

We stand for breathing air. They stand for taxing air.

We believe in the seasons. They believe in global warming.

We stand for earning our position. They stand for appointing it.

We believe in the truth, knowing the facts and deciding for ourselves with God’s guidance. They believe in talking points, lying, spinning the truth and spreading propaganda.

They call us radicals because we stand for God, freedom, liberty, property, Capitalism, Independence, The Republic and The Constitution. They stand for Godlessness, tyranny, Big Government, Socialism and Communism, public sector unions, bureaucrats, unnecessary imminent domain, unfunded pensions and entitlements.

We are right. The endgame has been written for us long ago. God is on our side and we win in the end.

As Sarah Palin would say, "YOU BETCHA!"

Millions of prayers are being sent up by Christian Americans who are repenting of their sins and asking God to save our nation from this gangster government. I believe that God is working this out in His own time and even though it appears that our prayers aren't always answered right away, He is holding us up during the time being. This would-be dictator-in-chief Obama is losing power, respect and support from millions of people who once supported him in the past. I don't even believe some of these polls that still give him a 40% approval rating. I think it's much lower. When lefty columnists like Maureen Dowd start questioning Obama's ability to be CIC, you KNOW that he's in deep, deep trouble.

My prayer today:

Lord Jesus? You are sovereign over all. Your timing is always perfect. Mine is not. Ours is not. We are finite and therefore do not know all. You are infinite and all-knowing! We humbly place our hearts, minds, souls and bodies in your hands. I continue to pray for your Hand of protection to be upon our beloved nation. Many have learned their lesson that someone spouting "hope and change" may not have the change that they were genuinely hoping for. Such hope only comes from YOU - dear Lord Jesus Christ! We love You and trust You. Amen.

Iron Dome Successfully Intercepts Gaza Rockets for First Time

Just heard on Fox News that Israel launched (for the first time) a 200 million dollar weapon to defeat a Gaza attack on that nation. Will add information and links here as I find it.

Via Drudge, I found this article about it:

Haaretz.com: Iron Dome successfully intercepts Gaza rockets for first time

Excerpt:

Missile defense system intercepts two rockets fired at Ashkelon as three rockets from Gaza land in open area in Negev; IDF launches strike on targets in Gaza following attack on school bus earlier in the day.

The Iron Dome missile defense system on Thursday successfully intercepted for the first time two rockets that were fired at the Israeli city of Ashkelon from the Gaza Strip.

According to reports from the area, the interception could be seen in Israeli towns near northern Gaza. The second Iron Dome battery was positioned in the area of Ashkelon over the weekend, in addition to a battery already placed north of Be'er Sheva.

Thank God for the knowledge to enable Israel to develop this much needed missile defense system! Israel is the apple of God's eye and her protection is evident in this latest development of technology that will thwart all of the Arab and Muslim nations that are hell-bent on destroying Her.

Thank You S.F. Liberals - You Die Last [Must see update!]

What do you think is the message of this protester who was seen at a San Francisco anti-Israel rally back in 2005 (guessing on the date)?

Notice what the man holding the sign is wearing. Can you tell what image is on the other man's red t-shirt?

What are your thoughts about such a blatant display? Comments?

The Unholy Alliance of Marxism and Islamic Jihad

Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism Blog has a MUST READ Essay entitled: Ten Questions About ‘The Grand Jihad’ For Author Andrew McCarthy

Posted by Michael Walsh May 31st 2010 at 1:14 pm in Featured Story, Politics, Religion

Andy McCarthy’s vital new book, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, was published last week. The author, a former federal prosecutor, discusses the looming threats both foreign and domestic:

Q. Why did you write this book? Surely, you’re overstating the threat to the American way of life from radical Islam.

We’re 17 years removed from the declaration of a jihadist war against the United States, the bombing of the World Trade Center, and nearly a decade removed from the jihadist atrocities of 9/11. Yet, as recently as last week, we heard President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser insist that Islam has nothing to do with the threat facing us and that because Islam is, by his lights, benign, and so is jihad — merely an internal struggle to “purify” oneself or one’s community. In point of fact, we are facing a movement that is very mainstream among the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims, a movement that unabashedly declares itself as engaged in a “civilizational” war against America and the West. I don’t think I’m overstating the threat; I think I’m reporting the threat precisely as our enemies have stated it, notwithstanding that our political leadership won’t come to grips with the fact that we have enemies, let alone with the ideology that catalyzes them.

Q. You open with the memorable moment when President Obama bowed to the Saudi King. Although you dismiss the notion that Obama is some kind of “Manchurian Muslim,” why else would he do such a thing? In fact, why is he so loath to speak out against any Muslim, anywhere, if on some level he does not share either religious or cultural sympathies with them?

There is a difference between being a Muslim, which Obama is not, and sharing religious and cultural sympathies with Muslims — indeed, adhering to much of the Islamist narrative that blames America for our tensions with Muslims — which Obama surely does. As I explain in the book, based on a comparative study of Islamist and Leftist ideologies (particularly Qutb and Rousseau) as well as on numerous historic and present-day examples of cooperation between Islamists and Leftists, there is immense common ground between these two camps. Both are authoritarian systems, totalitarian in the sense that they want to control every aspect of the individual’s life, and virulently opposed to capitalism and individual liberty. President Obama is the leader of the modern hard Left and King Abdullah — whose title is Keeper of the Two Holy Mosques, Islam’s crown jewels of Mecca and Medina — is the emblem of the global Islamist movement. They share a common goal of radically transforming the West. Even though they part company on the details of what they would transform it into, they both need to topple American constitutional republicanism in order to install their utopias.

Q. The heart of your book is the argument that the Left and Islam have made an alliance of convenience, sharing a common enemy, which is classical Western civilization. Some dismiss this idea with the riposte that the Left will suffer as much if not more than anybody under Sharia Law. How do you answer them?

The Left has colluded with Islamists numerous times in the past: Iranian communists supported Khomeini against the Shah, Nasser confederated with the Muslim Brotherhood against the Egyptian monarchy, the PLO has always combined Leftists and Islamists, the Pakistani People’s Party still regards its program as Islamic socialism (which is also the way Nasser saw his program), etc. This should surprise no one. Rousseau, the father of modern radical movements, was an admirer of Islam — mainly because it rejects the separation between the spiritual and secular realms. And just look around you: Who is al Qaeda’s main lawyer? The Leftist Center for Constitutional Rights. Who is CAIR’s reliable partner in litigation opposing sensible national security measure’s? The ACLU. Islamist groups like the Muslim Public Affairs Council were very active championing Obama’s big-government takeover of healthcare. The Muslim Brotherhood, which is the architect and chief theoretician of the global Islamist movement, is aggressively Leftist in its political and social programs.

So it seems silly to me to rationalize that the Left has lots to lose in a partnership with Islamists — as if we were talking about a hypothetical. The cooperation is happening. The better question is: Why? The easy answer is that the two sides have more in common than they have in opposition. Moreover, to say that the Left would suffer more than anyone under Sharia law misses the point. We are not in a situation where the only ones left are the radical Left and the Islamists — where they would square off against each other. Instead, we are at a point in history when they both have a more pressing common enemy: the culture of freedom in the West. As they have done numerous times in the past, they will work together to try to defeat that enemy. Once that happens — if we let it happen — then they can figure out which one is the crocodile and which one the last appeaser to be eaten.

Q. To what do you attribute the MSM’s reluctance to explore these questions? Does the “narrative” of the First Black President outweigh everything else? Are they lazy? Complicit? Some combination of all three?

The MSM has its roots in the modern Left: It is a product of the J-schools and Democratic Party politics. It has fostered our suffocating climate of political correctness in which America is always at fault, Obama is the savior, and Islam is an unalloyed societal good — to the point that even when a jihadist at Fort Hood, while screaming “Allahu Akbar!”, mass-murders twice as many people as were killed in the 1993 WTC bombing, the MSM (like our government) would rather gouge its eyes out than admit that the savage was a Muslim. There is laziness in the journalism biz just like there is everyplace else, but for the most part today’s journalists are invested in the Left’s ascendancy. We are living in their world.

Q. Why are Americans so slow to pick up the concepts of dawa and jihad?

For two reasons. First, our political leadership — including administrations of both parties — has been desperate to suppress Islamic doctrine’s role in fueling terrorism committed by Muslims. Second, though Islam aspires to be much more than a religion (it is an all-encompassing legal, political and social system from which the spiritual elements are indivisible), it is given the label of “religion.” We have an admirable impulse in the West not to pry into other people’s belief systems. Beyond that, no one wants to be accused of religious bigotry by a grievance industry dominated by Leftists and Islamists. Think about it this way: despite the enormity of evil and peril involved in terrorist attacks that have now claimed thousands of lives, we can’t get people to focus on the ideology behind violent jihad. How much more difficult it is, then, to get them focused on the less immediate threat of dawa, which Robert Spencer aptly describes as the stealth (generally nonviolent) form of jihad. Unless people perceive the challenge as truly threatening, they will never pick up on these concepts. The Islamist and Leftist groups are trying to keep them asleep. My book is a modest attempt to wake them up.

Q. Discuss the role of Political Correctness in our apprehension, or lack of it, of Islam.

As I’ve said, political correctness has a lot to do with our lack of apprehension. But so does flat out extortion. When people speak out against Islamist supremacism, they are threatened and sometimes killed — and the reaction of our opinion elites is to condemn the victims for being provocative. So we get to the absurd point where Yale University Press purges depictions of the Danish cartoons in a book about the Danish cartoons that sparked Islamist rioting. In the Flying Imams incident, which I consider in detail in the book, efforts are made to sue the passengers who reported the imams’ reprehensible conduct — and the airline, after some terrible rulings by a judge sympathetic to the Islamists, ends up having to pay a settlement. This is political correctness with some real teeth, and its unmistakable message is: If you see something, say nothing.

Q. Isn’t one of the problems that we continue to think in terms of nation-states, whereas Islam disdains such a concept in favor of the ummah?

Well, I prefer to think in terms of nation-states because, if we are saved, nation-states will play a major role in that. Nation-states are much more apt to pursue their interests, including their defense, than the alternative: international organizations run by transnational progressives who are a big part of the problem. It is undeniably true, though, that Islamists reject the Westphalian world order — and we should bear that in mind when they prattle about how much they purportedly love America and other Western countries, and how they’re just challenging us to live up to “our values.”

Q. What’s it going to take for us to wake up? If and when an American city is nuked will we even fight back? Or will the lawyers and the JAGs find legalistic excuses for inaction?

It’s going to take a solution from outside of government: the American people have to be made aware of the threat we face — which is much broader and more insidious than terrorism — and they have to demand action. This is not unheard of. Public outrage has been very effective in stopping some of our political leadership’s worst agenda items — comprehensive immigration reform and the closing of Gitmo come to mind; we came very close to derailing Obamacare and we still have a chance of reversing it before it goes into effect. But it is going to take public awareness and passion. I hope it doesn’t take a catastrophic nuclear attack, but — sad to say — 9/11 obviously didn’t grab people like it should have. In many ways, we’re worse off today.

Q. Is there a Martel, a Sobieski or a Kitchener on the horizon, or have we arrived at the Spenglerian end of western power?

The American people are an endlessly resourceful and energetic people. While dependency culture has made alarming inroads, I still believe we are passionate about our freedom, and we will fight for it once it is clear that the fight has to be made. But I admit, it’s late in the day.

Q. There must be one bright spot, right… Right?

It is still possible for us to have this conversation and to be very candid about what we’re up against. In a lot of places, that can’t happen, and if the Obama administration continues canoodling with the likes of the Organization of the Islamic Conference — which wants to criminalize any critical discussion of Islam — we’ll need to worry that America could become one of those places. For now, it’s not. For now, we still have our rights to speak, to persuade, and to act in our defense. There are real points of disagreement between Islam and the Left. They combine because they sense their mutual enemy, our freedom culture, is very potent. If that culture were fatally weak, they’d already have won. They haven’t … and they’re still a ways from achieving their aspirations. To me, that’s a pretty bright spot.

*******

Be sure to read the comments over at Big Journalism, too.

There is SO MUCH that can be discussed regarding this interview! For now, I want to focus on one answer given by Mr. McCarthy:

So it seems silly to me to rationalize that the Left has lots to lose in a partnership with Islamists — as if we were talking about a hypothetical. The cooperation is happening. The better question is: Why? The easy answer is that the two sides have more in common than they have in opposition. Moreover, to say that the Left would suffer more than anyone under Sharia law misses the point. We are not in a situation where the only ones left are the radical Left and the Islamists — where they would square off against each other. Instead, we are at a point in history when they both have a more pressing common enemy: the culture of freedom in the West. As they have done numerous times in the past, they will work together to try to defeat that enemy. Once that happens — if we let it happen — then they can figure out which one is the crocodile and which one the last appeaser to be eaten.

[Note: bold and italics mine.]

Want to see an example of a protester at a leftist march up in San Francisco who is holding a sign that reflects EXACTLY what Mr. McCarthy alleges in the quote above?


The sign reads: "Thank you S. F. (San Francisco) Liberals - You Die Last."

In light of this interview, that sign makes more sense now, doesn't it?

The Islamists think that they will defeat their former cooperative cohorts - the Marxists - and the Marxists think that they will ultimately triumph over the Islamists.

Remind you of anything in history?

Perhaps the fact that Nazi Germany secretly worked together with Islam, [See Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West] and also worked together with Communist Russia [See Glenn Beck's Documentary: Live Free or Die ] before they became enemies later on during World War II? See this video that discusses the agreement between the secret protocol between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Please consider alerting your family, neighbors, friends and acquaintances to the danger that the unholy alliance of Marxism and Islamic Jihad presents to the United States of America, and all other Western nations that hold to the desire for freedom and liberty, smaller government, a strong military to protect our nation and border. We want the ability to pursue economic entrepreneurism and wealth-building capitalistic enterprises without the intrusion of big government. Most importantly, WE THE PEOPLE here in America want to hold onto our sovereignty and RESTORE the Constitutional Republic form of government originally given to us by our Founding Fathers.

Those who do not read blogs and depend entirely on the controlled network news probably have no idea what is really going with the unholy alliance of Islam and Marxism behind the scenes here in America.

5.0 out of 5 stars McCarty informs and is willing to call things by their right names, May 26, 2010
By Craig Matteson (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America (Hardcover)
The title of Andrew McCarthy's new book isn't something he made up, it is taken from a 1990s document from a "mainstream" "non-violent" Muslim organization describing their long term goal of hollowing out Western culture using its own values of tolerance and religious freedom. Note that Islamic countries do NOT allow tolerance and religious freedom in anything like the Western manner. And their two holiest cities are closed to us non-Muslims because we are unworthy to enter such holy places. Once they have hollowed out Europe, America, and other nations, they can fill the void with Sharia, which is the Muslim law and turn these nations into Islamic countries and their Grand Jihad will have achieved victory. Note, that terror is not necessarily part of this strategy.

In fact, Al Qaeda and their brother terrorist groups are frowned at in some of this Salafi circles. Others see them as tools that supply cover for their "moderate" work. But make no mistake about it, McCarthy warns, the goal of the Islamist moderates and the terrorists is the same. They desire the collapse of the West and the rise of Islam as the ruling way of life throughout the world. To the extent that Sharia spreads into Western democracies the strategy of "Grand Jihad" is victorious.

Have you heard of the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani? He is a very powerful Shia cleric and deemed by our U.S. government as a "moderate" and key ally in Iraq. He teaches that we non-Muslims should not be touched or even associated with. That we, as non-believers, are filth no different than feces, urine, pigs and the like. Does that sound like moderation and mutual respect to you?

Islam is not a religion in the sense that the West currently views its various "faith communities" that are one aspect of the lives we assemble for ourselves from the lavish and extensive buffet we call our Western Culture. Islam is a faith, but it is more than that. In the Salafi view of Islam it is a complete way of life. Everything is settled and has been settled since around 900 A.D.. Well, they wouldn't use A.D. and I know it is fashionable to use C.E. nowadays, but I'm a Christian and will count my own years, thank you very much.

McCarthy also demonstrates how the post-Modern Left philosophies make us blind to this very real threat. We can't call terrorists what they are. We can't admit to ourselves what Islam is really about or even what Jihad actually means to hundreds of millions of Muslims or that this non-violent approach to conquering the West exists. This despite the fact that Sharia is making inroads into British, Dutch, and French jurisprudence. That there are whole sections of major cities in Europe that have been left to Muslim gangs to run because police cannot even enter them.

The Left elites advise that we can't use the word victory or that we are even at war with some kind of Islamic philosophy. These jihadist Islamist terrorists send a bomber into Detroit, my hometown, in order to blow a plane out of the sky on Christmas Day, a high Holy Day that most Americans observe, and our government's first instinct is to lie to us and tell us he is acting alone and that it has nothing to do with terror or Islam. But our enemies know they are at war with us and say so. And we refuse to accept the fight. Will that really end well? Where we are actually in armed conflict with them we refuse to press our advantages and let the other side dictate the rules of engagement: that we can't fight at night or shoot until shot upon and we see their weapons, and so forth. They respect only strength and we hope to appease through weakness and bowing. We need to wake up.

This is a terrific, powerful, and very informative work. I hope you pick up a copy today and read it and share it with everyone you know. Andrew McCarthy knows what he writes about. That his critics viciously attack him personally rather than debate his arguments is strong evidence that he is spot on in his observations and strong in his arguments.

We need to stand up and engage this war of civilizations at all levels. Folks, this is not going to go away. Our enemy is implacable, patient, and relentless. We have to be stronger, more tenacious, and willing to endure all things until we achieve victory. But first we have to allow ourselves to call things by their right names.

I have found another book that I must read! Just read about it on Mark Levin's Facebook page.

The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America

The real threat to the United States is not terrorism. The real threat is Islamism, whose sophisticated forces have collaborated with the American Left not only to undermine U.S. national security but also to shred the fabric of American constitutional democracy—freedom and individual liberty. ...

As one raised in islam, I am amazed that a westerner finally gets islam & terrorist connections, May 24, 2010
By LOVE "TRUTH-Seeker" (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America (Hardcover)
As one who was raised in a muslim country in a muslim family and society, I often find books by westerners trying to describe islam through western paradigms to fail to grasp the reality of islam. Finally someone breaks through all the political correctness and presents true islam as clearly compatible with Jihad. To the surprise of many westerners, for 1300+ years, since the prophet of islam, mohammad himself practiced jihad as he took out 600+ Jews and beheaded them in front of the faithful muslim leaders following mohammad's understanding of God.

This author rightly presents the reality that many wonderful muslim neighbors do not want sharia law! They are muslim culturally because their parents were muslims, but they want to be able to walk in public with members of opposite sex, play chess, play soccer, have a drink every now & then, have fun and live a happy life. True Islamic sharia law practiced by muslims for centuries requires the mullahs or imams of the nation to tell all muslims what they can and cannot do. If mohammad can take a 6 year old girl as a bride along with his other teenage wives and concubines and slaves, then muslims are taught that it is right for all muslims. If mohammad told us to hate all nonmuslims, including his final words prior to his surprise death, that we are all to hate Christians and Jews and behead all who will not submit to sharia law, then all faithful muslims are supposed to accept mohamamad's words as divine and imitate his lifestyle.

Under modern nonrestrictive interpretations of first amendment, the author rightly points out that the mastermind of the 1993 NY bombing under Clinton, laid out his case that as a muslim religious ruler, he was free to issue Islamic fatwas to destroy the lives of innocent nonmuslims. Shockingly, ACLU & liberal westerners are falling for this argument now more than ever . Under President Bush, even the muslims who succeeded in blowing up the towers on 9/11 were given muslim freedoms to continue to read the quran and live by the islamic sharia law while in prison. Subsequently, when some of the muslims were released from American prisons, they immediately went back to fulfill their Islamic call to destroy all infidels. Sadly, under hussein obama , we have accelerated our downfall as president obama has opened the door for muslim terrorists to believe they now have the strong upper hand and multiple terrorist attacks in America only failed because of The Grace of God. Shockingly hussein obama told the world that America is one of the largest muslim nations in the world and disavowed all Christian connections of the early founders of America.

The author of this book lays out a strong logical case for the reality of islam and the fact that majority of all muslims around the world who would not personally murder others, are fully in support of the muslim jihad terrorists; and the few that do not support the Islamic sharia law but call themselves "muslim" are only culturally Islamic, while walking against Islamic law as practiced by mohammad and muslims for 1300+ years.

This book will trouble the politically correct and western minded intellectuals who do not understand islam or those who are fooled by quotes of earlier quran revelations that were abrogated/overruled by the prophet of islam himself once he had the power to establish sharia law.

Every American and westerner should read this book and look up quran and hadith and Islamic history to determine the real Islamic threat so we can deal with the problem of terrorism at its root, rather than make up false causes for muslim inspired terrorists like poverty or illiteracy. As everyone knows by now, muslim terrorists were engineers, doctors psychiatrists and professors of islam and often very well off. They simply followed the iman/faith where islam led them. For us to win the battle against terror, we must first agree on the honest root cause well documented in this book, so we can finally address the tough needed solution for peace in our lands for all people! To have our troops die on the battlefield only to then establish sharia law and even open a center to promote sharia law where 9/11 muslims succeeded is utter foolishness that will lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of innocent around the world. Hope we wake up before that time! This book helps get us on the right starting point.

Understanding The Islamo-Fascist Devil We Face

I didn't expect to write about such a topic today, but after viewing a free sample of WorldNetWeekly, I ran across a very interesting letter written by Erica Thunderpaws on page 268. Her brief letter was intriguing enough to lead me to her blog called "Jefferson Rebels" where she wrote a highly informative blog post back in January, 2010, called:

Sexual Depravity Breeds Savage Jihadists.

Here is a copy of her letter over at WorldNetWeekly:

As a Westerner, I assumed that Muslims were holier-than-thou with respect to sexuality because of the way they keep their women hidden under the burka. That view was totally shattered when I researched the subject of sexual behavior in that part of the world. Terrorists become terrorists because of their sexual beliefs, and girls and women are not their only victims. Indeed, prepubescent boys are sexually abused and then denied sexual outlets when they reach sexual maturity - unless it is to abuse more prepubescent boys. Their abused minds and bodies turn them into barbaric jihadists. American psychologists should do more to expose this. Just because we describe the jihadist culture as "religious" is no reason to assume their behavior equates with Christian religious behavior. Not even close!

What I learned was so disturbing, I recently wrote this article.

Erica Thunderpaws (Note: possibly a screen name)

Now, I have to warn readers that you might find the sexual descriptions there offensive. There is a warning at the blog that the additional links include descriptions that are downright gruesome. However, as the blog author indicates:

[b]ut this may be the only way for you to understand the devil we face. I might add, the same Islamo-fascist devil that some believe should rule the world.

I haven't gotten to the links yet, but I thought that this new information was profoundly important to understand the totality of what we are facing in our current War on Islamic-Jihadist Terrorism!

Sean Hannity recently interviewed the man who wrote the newly published book "Son of Hamas." The writer had an inside look into the Hamas terrorism group because he lived that life. Since then, he has claimed conversion to Christianity and feels compelled to tell his story. Sean appeared to be very wary of the man during the interview. Who wouldn't be? We all know that radical Islamic terrorists are trained to lie in order to get the trust of Westerners so that they can kill us!

The most chilling part of the interview was when Sean asked the man (paraphrased here) if there is such a thing as "moderate Muslims." The man said NO!! Although not all Muslims carry out jihad, the devout ones are trained to believe every word of the Quran. Therefore, the verses that tell them to "kill the infidel" are meant for every believer.

In America, there are probably "Westernized" Muslims that choose to ignore such passages (just like some apostate Christians ignore the fact that abortion and homosexual behavior are sins), so they demonstrate no threat to non-Muslims around them.

We have freedom of religion here in America. Therefore, Muslims are free to practice their beliefs as long as they don't harm or kill anyone.

People like Rosie O'Donnell who ignorantly and naively claimed that Christian faith is more "negative" and/or "radical" than Islamic Jihadism just don't know what they are talking about! Those who think that Muslims and Christians worship the same God need to do the research necessary to realize how untrue that belief really is!

Back to the topic of the blog post.

Recall that when the former terrorist leader of the Palestinians, Yasser Arafat died, there were rumors (some claim that it was confirmed) that he died of AIDS. There was documentation that he had been known to have frequent homosexual sex with young males. Many American journalists dismissed such revelations as not believable. The well-researched blog post above proves just how wrong and naive they all were.

Also, recall that some of the 9/11 terrorists were reported to have visited strip joints before carrying out their murderous rampage.

Erica wrote:

Now I'm completely convinced that the root of the terrorist problem is sexual obsession, rather than repression, and this depravity is fueled by the Qur’an and the Hadith.

We must add that the training by radical Islamic Imams, who spew absolute hatred for the West, also plays a vital role in the mindset of terrorists. The depravity of Radical Islam knows no bounds! It is very evident that the beliefs passed on from Mohammad when the Muslim religion began were not from God. Those who would be so gullible to believe that Islam is a "religion of peace" or just like any other religion out there, are hopelessly uninformed!

It pains me to write this post. It really does. It shows how badly people in the Middle East are brain DIRTIED to believe in such horrific things that are involved in the teachings of radical Islam.

Thank God that His Word is Truth! The Bible teaches that in the last days, there will be more and more conversions to belief in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior and Lord of the universe! There have been many reports that Iraqis are being converted to Christianity at a rate previously unknown before in the Middle East!

Praise God!

Jesus Christ is the only TRUE hope for Muslims. Jesus is the only TRUE hope for us all!

Tts 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;


Tts 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.


Tts 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

A friend (thank you Donna) sent the following video link to me via email today. I recall seeing this video during the 2008 Presidential campaign. It concerned me greatly back then - and still highly concerns me now.

Muslim Connections of Obama

When you watch the video, tell me what kind of look you perceive Obama as showing on his face while looking around the mosque. It reminded me of someone looking around a cathedral - all in worshipful, religious awe of one's surroundings.

What do you think?

Later today, I read Pam Geller's essay over at Big Government - The U.S. Government: Willfully Blind to the Jihad It sent shivers up and down my spine!

Recall that Obama has stated that "he would side with the Muslims?" IMO, that's going way beyond the call of duty for "tolerance." That statement made LOTS of Americans very uneasy.

Maybe it is we Americans - distracted by so many things these days - who are willfully blind to the under-the-radar hidden agenda that threatens our way of life and our nation? Just thinking out loud...

There You Have It: APPEASEMENT

There is something VERY FISHY about the handling of the Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack by a 23-year-old "underwear bomber." World Net Daily reports: HOMELAND INSECURITY
Report of 2nd man cuffed from Flight 253 confirmed
U.S. Customs and Border official apologizes, reverses himself – 'This is the FBI's 4th story'

Why would the FBI make up four separate stories about the incident when eye witnesses were there to counter their made-up stories?

Could it involve some sort of cover-up?

Nice Deb's post: Where Does The Buck Stop In The Knickerbomber Intelligence Failure? may have the answer:

This report, posted by The Prowler on December 29 offers some clues as to why dots were not connected:

“We have agreements with a number of different countries that work with us cooperatively on intelligence matters,” says the State Department employee. “A number of the treaties work through our justice departments or foreign offices or intelligence and interior or homeland security agencies. Several departments here in Washington got the information from London and it didn’t trigger anything within our own system.

This employee says that despite statements from the Obama Administration, such information was flagged and given higher priority during the Bush Administration, but that since the changeover “we are encouraged to not create the appearance that we are profiling or targeting Muslims.

Could this episode just be the natural result of an administration that doesn’t take the war on terror seriously, indeed, doesn’t even believe in such a thing?

Charles Krauthammer seems to think so:

The reason the country is uneasy about the Obama administration’s response to this attack is a distinct sense of not just incompetence but incomprehension. From the very beginning, President Obama has relentlessly tried to downplay and deny the nature of the terrorist threat we continue to face. Napolitano renames terrorism “man-caused disasters.” Obama goes abroad and pledges to cleanse America of its post-9/11 counter terrorist sins. Hence, Guantanamo will close, CIA interrogators will face a special prosecutor, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will bask in a civilian trial in New York — a trifecta of political correctness and image management.

And just to make sure even the dimmest understand, Obama banishes the term “war on terror.” It’s over — that is, if it ever existed.

Obama may have declared the war over. Unfortunately, al-Qaeda has not. Which gives new meaning to the term “asymmetric warfare.”

This may explain the odd detachment that many have noticed in Obama’s statements about the “alleged” terror plot.

None of this is supposed to be happening.

One thing is for sure – pretending that there is no war on terror, and giving terrorists civil liberties that only American citizens should enjoy, plays right into our “alleged” enemies’ hands.

Read this comment from The American Spectator link:

Ret. Marine 12.29.09 @ 6:34AM
"I'm just saying that a number of us were encouraged to have a different mindset about such intel and such individuals, and today, we are encouraged not to have that same mindset."

There you have it, APPEASEMENT. So the difference is the Bush Admin. saw this type of potential threat as a concern for the safety of all traveling public, the little o and his chicken littles do not want to offend his brethren. And what? again, another little lie to cover his kenyan butt from taking a public hit of stupidity? He owns this issue at present, he damn well better start taking responsibility for this Constitutional duties before his boot-lick'n followers, and his bull at the dhs head start to take notice. This is typical little o strategy, blame, deflect, blame, move on nothing to see here gang.
What me responsible?

Yep....

P.S. Perhaps Obama thought he was becoming a king (as The Anchoress states), instead of a president? That way he wouldn't have to REALLY WORK at anything...

She hit the nail on the head when she wrote:

“I suspect that what Obama wanted was to be the King, not the President. The King’s role is largely ceremonial.”

Sadly, such a revelation also means:

“But we haven’t a Prime Minister” – so well said and so very scary…

Also very true:

Remember, in the Democrats quest to make our enemies love us, dead Americans are acceptable collateral damage. Obama would rather a dozen planeloads of US citizens drop from the sky than instruct our security personel to focus on Muslims entering the country.

The man does not love this country. He wants to remake it. As Dennis Prager said, one does not want to remake what one thinks is good.

Radical Islam's Continuing Global Jihad

It was my original intention to continue with "The Truth War" posts today, but I feel that the Lord is leading me in another direction. It all started with a spam comment. I know that may sound a bit strange, but was it a coincidence that the spam comment was posted in a blog post from January, 2008 entitled, Radical Islamic Narco-Terrorism in the UK? Perhaps it was a coincidence. However, as I re-read that post and comments I found out some interesting things.

Back in January of 2008, a Muslim blogger by the name of Umm Yasmin occasionally posted comments here at Talk Wisdom. Here is a copy of a post she wrote back on January 18, 2008 about me and this blog's content:

Radical right struggles with Obama
by U*m*m Y*a*s*m*i*n @ 8:58 am.
Filed under Jihad Against the Munkar

Some radical right Christians* are really struggling with Obama. I have to confess as a Muslim myself I find it tempting to think of Obama as a Muslim who just happens to attend church ;) I think it’s precisely because if he ever was Muslim, what differentiates him from people like Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq etc. is that he doesn’t go around demonizing his former faith and its followers. So apostasy (and here Moojan’s ressentiment label does actually work) is a tag that just doesn’t fit Obama, even if he ever was a Muslim.

I originally made the comment that having a US President who has some appreciation of the religion of one sixth of humanity, spanning every continent and practically every culture and language-group, would make such a change from the current one who buys the lie of an inevitable Clash of Civilisations.

* Came across an excellent definition of radical right from Prof. Michael Minkenberg: “ideological core of populist ultra-nationalism which is derived from (but not equal to) an anti-universal, anti-democratic myth of the national community.”

So I think Irfan was right when he questioned Christinewjc’s commitment to democracy (see comments of her previous post on Obama).

So....a self-identified Muslim feminist (now THERE'S an oxymoron if I ever read one!!!) from Australia believes that she has me all figured out and labeled fairly based on a few blog posts and comments?

Sheesh!

The only thing we have in common is that we both don't like anyone to swear on our blogs...

But look what happens TODAY when I try to go to the original link to her blog within the post:

Forbidden

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hmmmm...isn't that strange??

Why have I been banned access to a post that was written about me and my blog??

In a comment written to Lionheart of the UK (in the 2008 "Radical Islamic Narco-Terrorism in the UK" thread, I wrote:

Back to you and your comments, Paul.

A while back, our President, George W. Bush (who claims to be a Christian) made the statement that Christians and Muslims all worship the same God.

Nope!

Not a chance!!!

I have written about this fact before.

Perhaps Bush said that in a politically correct way to try and ease the tension? Not going to work. Not in a million years.

The Bible has prophesied about this current war, which had its beginnings way back in history from the time of Isaac and Ishmael.

From what I have seen, heard and read, I tend to agree with your assessment, Paul.

Even Umm Yasmin of "Dervish" mentioned:

"I tend to avoid using the word 'moderate' because it implies lukewarm. I.e. I wouldn't want to be called a moderate intellect, or moderately good looking ;)"

So, to call a Muslim a "moderate" is not necessarily a good thing.

I think that you are absolutely correct when you wrote:

"Islam and the Moslem belief system is unconducive [sic] to a civilized society as the facts clearly state, yet we are being forced to accept these people in our midst, and it is not them giving up their freedoms and way of life it is us, we are having to give up our freedoms so as to fall in line and be acceptable to the Islamic way of life."

I agree that we are in the greatest battle against Jihad in history. The lives and way of life for our children and grandchildren are at stake. We must be diligent and continue to fight the good fight against those who are obsessed with our destruction.

Stay in touch Paul!

God bless you!

Christine

I decided to go back to the website for the documentary "Obsession: Radical Islam's War With the West." On the Media page I found an old video of Glenn Beck's T.V. show on CNN Headline News where he has a discussion with Wayne Kopping, the director and editor of the film "Obsession." Go watch that video! I plan to watch the other ones listed there as well.

The increase in attacks against us here at the homeland indicates that all the bluster of the liberals that if we "just talk with them, understand them, negotiate with them, and play nice-nice with the terrorists" simply is not a reasonable alternative and falls flat on it's face in reality!

This topic needed to be revisited by me today. People on the left naively thought that the War on Terror should be re-labeled as an "Overseas Contingency Operation." After the failed Christmas day attack, Obama stupidly called the Nigerian terrorist's act an "isolated incident." Either he is totally clueless, inept, and flawed as a leader of this nation or he is on the side of the terrorists for a purpose that is currently unknown to us. There can be no other explanation for his terrible errors!!

The following blog posts are all excellent in analyzing what America is up against in this global jihad.
