The Impact of Islam on Free Speech in America

Americans are proud, and rightly so, of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights, which, among other things, protects speech from government control. The Amendment says in part: “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Increasingly, however, Americans seem content to regard the First Amendment not as the fundamental working tool of democracy, but as a national heirloom, a kind of antique to admire rather than put to use. I don’t think many of my countrymen perceive how profoundly their attitude toward free speech has changed. But there is a difference between having freedom of speech and exercising freedom of speech, one that has become ...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." ~ First Amendment The establishment and exercise clauses of the First Amendment are well known. American Christians have never had to worry about the national government establishing an official religion for the United States. And although they have sometimes had to be concerned with government interference in the free exercise of their religion, it is generally true that Christians in America are free to worship God, organize churches and religious organizations, participate in religious services, and practice their faith in the manner of their choosing. There is a ...
Colonization in the name of God

Colonization in the name of God July 5, 2009 “It’s a little known fact that the Catholic Church issued a number of Papal adicts in the fifteenth century that set into motion patterns of colonization that became globalized over many centuries,” – Steven Newcomb in his book Pagans in the Promised Land. The atheist Jewish leadership of the world Zionist movement were very familiar with the religion-based western colonization. They exploited this Christian fantasy of being the “chosen people” – thanks to the Zionist-made Scofield Study Bible, which changed millions of Christians’ perception of the Jews from being ‘anti-Christ’ to the ...

Surrendering to the State, Even When Fighting It

It was Methodist theologian Stanley Hauerwas, in his book After Christendom: How the Church is to Behave if Freedom, Justice and a Christian Nation are Bad Ideas, who wrote: The whole point, after all, of the philosophical and political developments since the Enlightenment is to create people incapable of killing other people in the name of God. Ironically, since the Enlightenment’s triumphs, people no longer kill in the name of God but in the names of nation-states. Indeed, I think it can be suggested that the political achievement of the Enlightenment has been to create people who believe it necessary to kill others in the interest of something called "the nation," which ...

The Bible: What It is The Bible is really a collection of many books. In fact, the modern Bible, not including the group of books known as the Apocrypha, actually comprises of sixty-six books. The lengths of these books vary from Isaiah, which comes close in length to a modern short novel, to the Third Epistle of John, with only 294 words. The books in the Bible are divided into two main sections; known respectively as The Old Testament and The New Testament. Christians view the Old Testament as an account of the old covenant between God and the Hebrews. The Old Testament was also supposed to contain references and prophecies to the coming of Jesus Christ. The New Testament presents, ...
The "Christian hell" is a Christian HOAX (Not from the JW)

The Holy Scriptures know nothing of a Christian hell of eternal torment. The Christian hell is a Christian hoax. The Jewish hell is a Jewish hoax.The Islamic hell is a Islamic hoax.The Greek hell is a Greek hoax.The Hindu hell is a Hindu hoax.The Babylonian hell is a Babylonian hoax.The Egyptian hell is an Egyptian hoax. And every other hell of every other culture and religion on earth is a man-made HOAX! For thousands of years the religious and civil leaders of virtually every major nation and culture on earth have used the fear and terror of a future "hell" to keep their citizens (always considered dumb sheep by the elite clerics and governors) obedient to ...
Michigan: Judges Can Regulate [Islamic] Dress in Court

The Michigan Supreme Court voted to give judges authority over how witnesses dress after a Muslim woman refused to remove her veil while testifying in a small-claims case. A statewide rule letting judges regulate the appearance of witnesses, including asking them to remove face coverings, was approved by a 5-to-2 vote. The two dissenters said there should be an exception for people whose clothing is dictated by their religion. The woman, Gin’nnah Muhammad, sued because her case was dismissed when she refused to remove her veil. The judge in the case, Paul Paruk, told Ms. Muhammad he needed to see her face to assess her truthfulness. The court rule gives judges ...
Israel is losing the PR war so badly that even evangelical support is eroding

The war that Israel keeps losing is the war of world opinion, the war for individual hearts and minds. Consider recent stumbles. Israel's military campaign in Gaza should have been named "8,000 is enough!" This would have communicated a determination to stop the barrage of missiles from Hamas, using surgical precision to destroy its arsenal, but destroying all of it, not just a part. Enough was enough: 8,000 missiles launched on the nation's civilian population would no longer be tolerated. Unfortunately the operation was dubbed, "Cast Lead." The resulting image in the English-speaking world was not helpful. Lead is a soft metal associated with poison. The ...

Recent news stories advise us of yet another contributor to the menace of global warming, this one arising from the flatulence produced by cows. The metabolic processes engaged in by our bovine neighbors produce methane, one of the greenhouse gasses against which the environmentalist faithful are ever vigilant. Methane is also produced through the breakdown of organic matter (e.g., manure, dumpsites) and, other life forms. In his book Gaia the renowned chemist, James Lovelock, analyzed how methane, produced in the guts of termites, is an essential factor in the self-regulating nature of the earth’s atmosphere. The notion that "self-regulation" could account for the ...

Jehovah's Witnesses, JW's, Russellism Founder: Charles Taze Russell Overview Jehovah's Witnesses trace their origins to the nineteenth century Adventist movement in America . That movement began with William Miller, a Baptist lay preacher who, in the year 1816, began proclaiming that Christ would return in 1843. His predictions of the Second Coming or Second Advent captured the imagination of thousands in Baptist and other mainline churches. Perhaps as many as 50,000 followers put their trust in Miller's chronological calculations and prepared to welcome the Lord, while, as the appointed time approached, others watched nervously from a distance. Recalculations moved the ...
Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?
Post Date: 2009-06-15 15:34:08 by F.A. Hayek Fan

The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings. Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors: Taking verses out of their immediate context. Refusing to ...

IDENTIFYING THE “MAN OF LAWLESSNESS” 26 The identifying finger of human history over the past sixteen hundred years points to the religious clergy of Christendom. Is anyone unclear as to what is meant by the “clergy” of Christendom? If so, then let The Encyclopedia Americana (1929 edition), Volume 7, page 90, make it clear for the individual, in the following words: CLERGY (Latin clericus, from Greek kléros, a lot), in the Christian Church, that portion of the faithful which is set apart for the ministry of religion. The separation from the laity became more marked through the multiplication of offices and titles, privileges, rights, peculiar dress and habits. ...

The Grand Secret of the Bible Who is the woman Found at Genesis 3:16? Genesis 3:16 To the woman he said: “I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy; in birth pangs you will bring forth children, and your craving will be for your husband, and he will dominate you.” The Bible is a consistent and verifiable source of knowledge….. if you understand the purpose of the Bible, and, the different information lines that run through it. This is, the woman found at Genesis 3:16, perhaps, the most important story line that occurs in the Bible. Why? Because it involves the solution to the question of who is best suited to rule; Jehovah God, or Satan the Devil. In other words, ...
Bill Clinton to Arab Americans: U.S. no longer dominated by Christians and Jews

WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton has told an Arab-American audience of 1,000 people that the U.S. is no longer just a black-white country, nor a country that is dominated by Christians and a powerful Jewish minority In a speech to the group on Saturday, Clinton said that given the growing numbers of Muslims, Hindus and other religious groups here, Americans should be mindful of the nation's changing demographics, which led to the election of Barack Obama as president. Clinton said by 2050 the U.S. will no longer have a majority of people with European heritage and that in an interdependent world "this is a very positive thing." Speaking in a hotel ballroom ...

Home Bible Study Threatened in Bonito, Calif. Written by Selwyn Duke Friday, 12 June 2009 08:30 If the Chinese need any help with their crackdown on the Falun Gong religious group, perhaps they should try to recruit San Diego County bureaucrats. Because if a recent attempt on the municipality’s part to stifle Bible study in a private home in Bonita, California, is any indication, there are at least some in its employ who have missed their dark calling. Reporting on this, The Washington Times writes: For five years, the Rev. David Jones and his wife Mary have held Bible studies at their home in Bonita, Calif. With the impeccable timing of a soulless bureaucrat, on Good Friday ...
James von Brunn: The Shimon ben Yohai of "The White Race, " and His Contribution to Holocaustolatry

Manchurian candidate, James von Brunn has prepared the altar. Now comes the procession of bishops to incense the idol of Holocaustolatry, once again. The liturgical season of "The Holocaust" never ends. James von Brunn, like the rabbis, is an anti-Christian racial determinist. He's mentally programmed to behave in an anti-Christian rabbinic manner. Like the rabbis, who teach that "Amalek" is a genetically programmed enemy of "The Jews" and cannot be reasoned with and therefore must be killed, HERE, HERE, and HERE, so does James von Brunn believe that "The Jews" are genetically programmed enemies of "The White Race" and cannot be ...

Anti-Defamation League Says Garry Trudeau 'Maligned Judaism' The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Monday released the text of a letter it sent to cartoonist Garry Trudeau over his May 31, 2009 “Doonesbury” strip (at left, click on the image or here for full view). Several of the comic’s characters, including Sam and Rev. Sloan, are discussing Jesus Christ, and how the one time Christ “really only snaps once” in the Bible was “with the moneylenders.”Which, apparently, was enough to spur the ADL into action. Check out the full text of the letter, here. Not all will agree with the assessment. On Tuesday, the Rabbi David Saperstein of the ...

Sacramento bishop sues nuns over school closure The Associated Press Published: Friday, Jun. 12, 2009 - 10:52 am SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Catholic bishop of Sacramento and a group of financial donors are suing the nuns who shut down an all-girls high school this spring. They're upset that the nuns' order plans to use proceeds from the sale of the school to help fund the nuns' retirement, rather than keep the money in Sacramento for Catholic education. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Sacramento County Superior Court by Bishop Jaime Soto and seven other financial contributors. The nuns who ran Loretto High School announced in January that declining enrollment had forced ...

The evangelical church’s stated reason for supporting the US serial attacks on Islamic nations is "Muslim militancy.” The Christian Right’s leaders have managed to read far enough into a Qur’an to find passages about conflict with other tribes in the 7th Century when the book was scribed. One evangelical pastor put is this way in a recent conversation with your author: “I respect Islamic scholars and I respect many of them for their life style, but there is no way of getting away from the Militancy of Islam. It is built upon conversion by conquest.” The more aggressive Celebrity Christians now use the term "islamo-fascist" a new favorite fad ...

Aren’t there some striking parallels between the Jesus and Horus stories? Hardly. For those unfamiliar with the Horus story, Horus is a character in Egyptian mythology, the son of the gods Isis and Osiris. There actually appear to be multiple dieties named 'Horus', but the one who is the son of Isis and Osiris is the one the critics claim influenced the Jesus story. For a quick and unbiased debunking of this story, go to any search engine and find a site on Egyptian mythology and read the Horus story for yourself (I've provided some links at the bottom of the page), or check the mythology section at your local library (go ahead, I dare you!). Acharya S's book "The ...

As to earthly, physical life, things possessing life generally have the capabilities of growth, metabolism, response to external stimuli, and reproduction. The Hebrew word used in the Scriptures is chai•yim´, and the Greek word is zo•e´. The Hebrew word ne´phesh and the Greek word psy•khe´, both meaning “soul,” are also employed to refer to life, not in the abstract sense, but to life as a person or an animal.

How Did the Trinity Doctrine Develop? There are many people who ask: ‘If the Trinity is not a Biblical teaching, how did it become a doctrine of Christendom?’ Many think that it was formulated at the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. That is not totally correct, however. The Council of Nicaea did assert that Christ was of the same substance as God, which laid the groundwork for later Trinitarian theology. But it did not establish the Trinity, for at that council there was no mention of the holy spirit as the third person of a triune Godhead. Constantine’s Role at Nicaea FOR many years, there had been much opposition on Biblical grounds to the developing idea that Jesus was ...

The Overall Harmony of the Bible Imagine a library of 66 books written by about 40 different people over a period of 1,600 years. Three languages were used by writers who lived in a number of lands. All the writers had different personalities, abilities, and backgrounds. But when the books they wrote were eventually gathered together, it turned out that, really, they made up just one great book following one basic theme from beginning to end. That is hard to imagine, is it not? Yet, the Bible is just such a library. NO HONEST student can fail to be impressed by the fact that the Bible, although a collection of different books, is one unified production. It is unified in that, from ...
