10 REASONS WHY MOHAMMED IS NEITHER A MAN OF GOD NOR A PROPHET
10 REASONS WHY MOHAMMED IS NOT A PROPHET OF GOD
♦ It is impossible that a man in his mid-50’s could engage in sexual intercourse with a nine-year-old child, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could finance his religious and political community by robbing the trade caravans that passed through his area on their annual trips between Arabia and Syria, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could encourage his own son to divorce his wife so that he, the father, could marry her, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could lie to his wife to get her out of the house so that he could sleep with the slave girl he had given her as a gift, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could call other men to follow him, and then watch them die one after the other in the battles he instigated to build his empire while giving them promises of the sexual Paradise that awaited them, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could behead 800 Jewish men who had lived in his city for centuries for the simple reason they refused to accept him as their leader, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could trade the Jewish wives and daughters of the men he had just beheaded for weapons and horses, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could be so fearful of criticism that he would send a man at night to kill the mother of a nursing child because of the poems she had written against him, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could sentence a woman to death by having her limbs attached to camels that moved in opposite direction pulling her apart, then behead her and parade her severed head through Medina, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could torture a young Jewish tribal leader to death to obtain his money, and then "marry" his 17-year old widow the same night, and be a prophet of God.
♦ It is impossible that a man could allow his followers to have sex with their female slaves as well as their prisoners of war, whether or not they were married, and be a prophet of God.

Egypt: French Journalist Sexually Assaulted In Capital
Written by: Ria Novosti
Caroline Sinz, a journalist for French TV channel France 3, was sexually assaulted on Thursday in central Cairo’s Tahrir Square, Egyptian media reported.
The journalist and her cameraman, Salah Agrabi, were filming in Mohammed Mahmud street when teenagers and adults attacked them.
Sinz and Agrabi were dragged toward Tahrir, where they got separated.
“We were then assaulted by a crowd of men. I was beaten by a group of youngsters and adults who tore my clothes,” she told AFP, adding that she was then molested in a way that “would be considered rape.”

Or if they knew, they went and ignored the protocol to pursue their Liberal agenda or Islamic support. Last time I checked, aiding and abetting the enemy was still a crime. Perhaps, an executive order changed this; too many things going on - makes it hard to keep up.

"Shea and Marshall give us an insight into the world, where fear of violence for speaking out against Sharia is leading to massive self-censorship. Additionally, the State Department has issued a memorandum to their employees barring them from saying such words as “Salafi, liberty, and jihadist.” Is this memo a way of curbing racism in the workplace or another example of the growing influence of Sharia?
Why are American leaders like Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton working with organizations such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to abolish negative speech about Islam? Isn’t this just an example of stripping Americans of their freedom of speech? If so, why do these same leaders continue to stress the importance of the freedom of speech? Moreover, why are people being put on trial on blasphemy charges in democratic European countries such as Italy and the Netherlands simply for expressing their opinions on Islam and Sharia?"

The world must see the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report for what it is and stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons before it is too late, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Cabinet Sunday.
The IAEA report last week stated what Israel has been claiming for years – that Iran is trying to manufacture an atom bomb.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said on several occasions that Israel must be “wiped off the map” and that the Jewish state is a “cancer.”

The secret of understanding and dealing with women
 |
| They're probably more scared than the male but, they have to resort to psy ops. But this does not have to be, if we know the first and last thing about dealing with women. |
 |
And that is, they just have to be loved. Love brings a different kind of knowledge because, certain realities can only be perceived by the heart - not the eyes or the ears. But sometimes the effort to understand is an attempt to control, to dominate. And no one wants that. That runs counter to the human nature that is free. |
 |
And that leads to what loving is. There's a lot of misconceptions about love, a lot of counterfeits masquerading as love e.g. manipulation, co-dependency and even a contractual arrangement for sex and procreation. But here is a description that seems to be free of those pollutants. |

Nigeria: Christians being slaughtered by Muslims. Christ cries out to you.
Nigerian Imam Urges Holy War Against Christians 'for Allah' on November 7, 2011.
Christian persecution in West Africa is intensifying after an imam in Nigeria declared the only way to settle the contentious religious grappling in the country is to begin a holy war.
Abubakar Shekau told his extremist sect, Boko Haram, to increase violence, namely assassinations and bombings. The group is responsible for killing 240 people this year, including 100 Christians last month.

This is the most recent video (Unedited Version) from our friends at TeaPartyBrief.com -- one of the best news aggregation sites on the web. In our opinion, much better than Drudge Report and HuffPost.
It is important to note that the powerful flag burning footage after the quote "No--It's a harder choice than that." is symbolic of what will happen to our great nation if the majority of American's choose the wrong side. As far as we know, the flag burning footage is not from any 'Occupy' protest in the United States; however, you can find a plethora of images and video of US flag desecration by just searching Google for flag burning, occupy protest, occupy wall street, flag desecration, etc...
My comment:
The coming election is not just about 2 parties with different flavors of the same politic. Rather, it is a more radical choice of completely different, nay opposing visions. These visions will form our children and their children and change our way of life. Now more than ever, we need to know and help others be informed correctly. Vote GOP.

No More Common Godhead: Muslim Leader "Grand Mufti" Declare All Christians Evil - "Infidels"
Click here for complete article or go to http://www.meforum.org/3085/muslim-declares-christians-infidels
Top Muslim Declares All Christians 'Infidels' by Raymond Ibrahim Pajamas Media October 28, 2011
To what extent was Egypt's Maspero massacre, wherein the military literally mowed down Christian Copts protesting the ongoing destruction of their churches, a product of anti-Christian sentiment?
A video of Egypt's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ali Gomaa (or Gom'a), which began circulating weeks before the massacre, helps elucidate. While holding that Muslims may coexist with Christians (who, as dhimmis, have rights), Gomaa categorized Christians as kuffar — "infidels" — a word that connotes "enemies," "evil-doers," and every bad thing to Muslim ears.
After quoting Quran 5:17, "Infidels are those who declare God is the Christ, [Jesus] son of Mary," he expounded by saying any association between a human and God (in Arabic, shirk) is the greatest sin: "Whoever thinks the Christ is God, or the Son of God, not symbolically — for we are all sons of God — but attributively, has rejected the faith which God requires for salvation," thereby becoming an infidel.
:
In short, yes, many religions "share basic tenets," but they are secondary to the differences, which are more final and define the relationship. Or, to put it in Ali Gomaa's paradigm: Fine, Christianity and Islam have commonalities — but, by the way: "Infidels are those who declare God is the Christ, son of Mary."
The fact is, this Quranic verse is as much a cornerstone of Islam's view of Christianity as the unity of God and Christ is a cornerstone of Christianity, articulated some 1700 years ago in the Nicene Creed. The issue is clear cut for all involved.
Accordingly, how can one fault Gomaa? As Grand Mufti, he is simply being true to Islam's teachings. Indeed, his consistency is more commendable than the equivocations of Western ecumencalists who, by falling over themselves to assure Muslims that they all essentially believe in the same things, demonstrate, especially to Muslims, that they believe in nothing.
Incidentally, if Gomaa upholds the plain teachings of the Quran concerning who is an infidel, is it not fair to assume he also upholds the Quran's teachings on how to confront them, as commanded in Quran 9: 29: "Fight … the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] until they pay the Jizya [tribute] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Of course, prudent Muslims, undoubtedly like Gomaa himself, know that now is not the time to talk openly about such things.
Either way, here is another reminder of how Quranic verses and terms that Western people brush aside as arcane or irrelevant have a tremendous impact on current events — such as Egypt's Maspero massacre: For the same word Gomaa, the nation's Grand Mufti, used to describe Christians is the same word Muslim soldiers used when they opened fire on and ran over Christian Copts; the same word twenty Muslim soldiers used as they tortured a protesting Christian; and the same word Muslims hurled at Christians during the funeral procession for their loved ones slain at Maspero: Infidel.

Top Muslim Declares All Christians 'Infidels' by Raymond Ibrahim Pajamas Media October 28, 2011
To what extent was Egypt's Maspero massacre, wherein the military literally mowed down Christian Copts protesting the ongoing destruction of their churches, a product of anti-Christian sentiment?
A video of Egypt's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ali Gomaa (or Gom'a), which began circulating weeks before the massacre, helps elucidate. While holding that Muslims may coexist with Christians (who, as dhimmis, have rights), Gomaa categorized Christians as kuffar — "infidels" — a word that connotes "enemies," "evil-doers," and every bad thing to Muslim ears.
After quoting Quran 5:17, "Infidels are those who declare God is the Christ, [Jesus] son of Mary," he expounded by saying any association between a human and God (in Arabic, shirk) is the greatest sin: "Whoever thinks the Christ is God, or the Son of God, not symbolically — for we are all sons of God — but attributively, has rejected the faith which God requires for salvation," thereby becoming an infidel.
:
In short, yes, many religions "share basic tenets," but they are secondary to the differences, which are more final and define the relationship. Or, to put it in Ali Gomaa's paradigm: Fine, Christianity and Islam have commonalities — but, by the way: "Infidels are those who declare God is the Christ, son of Mary."
The fact is, this Quranic verse is as much a cornerstone of Islam's view of Christianity as the unity of God and Christ is a cornerstone of Christianity, articulated some 1700 years ago in the Nicene Creed. The issue is clear cut for all involved.
Accordingly, how can one fault Gomaa? As Grand Mufti, he is simply being true to Islam's teachings. Indeed, his consistency is more commendable than the equivocations of Western ecumencalists who, by falling over themselves to assure Muslims that they all essentially believe in the same things, demonstrate, especially to Muslims, that they believe in nothing.
Incidentally, if Gomaa upholds the plain teachings of the Quran concerning who is an infidel, is it not fair to assume he also upholds the Quran's teachings on how to confront them, as commanded in Quran 9: 29: "Fight … the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] until they pay the Jizya [tribute] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Of course, prudent Muslims, undoubtedly like Gomaa himself, know that now is not the time to talk openly about such things.
Either way, here is another reminder of how Quranic verses and terms that Western people brush aside as arcane or irrelevant have a tremendous impact on current events — such as Egypt's Maspero massacre: For the same word Gomaa, the nation's Grand Mufti, used to describe Christians is the same word Muslim soldiers used when they opened fire on and ran over Christian Copts; the same word twenty Muslim soldiers used as they tortured a protesting Christian; and the same word Muslims hurled at Christians during the funeral procession for their loved ones slain at Maspero: Infidel.
