The BBC is broadcasting blatant historical lies that are hate litterature by England's own standards but these are directed at the British people themselves and by extention, Europe.  My favorite part is that jihad is in the Koran but there is nothing in the Bible about waging war with those who are not Christian.

http://ObsessionTheMovie.com/ Obsession - Radical Islam's War Against the West is a new documentary film that will challenge the way you look at the world. The is the full version of Obsession the movie.

Almost 70 years ago, Europe found itself at war with one of the most sinister figures in modern history: Adolf Hitler. When the last bullet of World War II was fired, over 50 million people were dead, and countless countries were both physically and economically devastated. Hitlers bloody struggle sought to forge the world anew, in the crucible of Nazi values. How could such a disaster occur? How could the West have overlooked the evil staring it in the face, for so long, before standing forcefully against it?

Today, we find ourselves confronted by a new enemy, also engaged in a violent struggle to transform our world. As we sleep in the comfort of our homes, a new evil rises against us. A new menace is threatening, with all the means at its disposal, to bow Western Civilization under the yoke of its values. That enemy is Radical Islam.

Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerilla leader, the film shows, clearly, that the threat of Radical Islam is real.
Islam is being hijacked by radical extremists, who actively seek to destroy the shared values we stand for. The world should be very concerned.
This is a documentary film about Radical Islamic terror. A dangerous ideology, fuelled by religious hatred. It's important to remember, most Muslims are peaceful and do not support terror. This is not a film about them.

Ethics of Entrapment. Is what Lila Rose doing wrong?

Lila Rose has been criticized of unenthical behavior in her efforts to expose the immoralities and illegal activities of Planned Parenthood by entrapment.  Let me make a few observations to defend such an activity.

In the Hebrew Scriptures, an angel was permitted to test Job by killing his children and destroying his property.   Cfr. Job1-2.   That's a hell of a lot more than posing to be a pimp.

Also, using the morality of the greater evil one may ask:  which is more evil, to pose as a pimp to expose and curb the activities of an organization that murders unborn children or to do nothing?  Answer: to do nothing is more evil than to pretend to be a pimp.  St. Theresa of Avila said,  "Those who make no mistakes, make nothing."  And at the end, Christians are judged with what they have accomplished with their time, talent and treasure.  The one who did nothing and buried his one talent was punished for stupidity and sloth.  God told him, "You could have deposited the talent in the bank for interest if you were not going to use it as capital."  Cfr. Gospel of St. Matthew 25:14-30.

And come to think of it, who is the victim of the false witness?  Who is hurt by posing as a pimp?  It would be the reputation of the poser because people would think he is a shady character.  The 8th commandment was not against truth per se but against injuring another by the false witness.  So, the poser sacrifices his own reputation to stop an immoral institution.   And that is not bad because one can even sacrifice one's very life to help another in the Christian ethos.

So, in my opinion, the ways and means used by Lila Rose is acceptable in and of themselves.

How Bro. Joe helped me join the seminary

Bro. Joe Ferrer is a coadjutor brother with the Salesians of St. John Bosco.  He is a "monk" but not a priest.  He was the head of the Electronics department in the technical high school where I went.  Back in the 60's, electronics was leading edge technology.

By the end of my senior year, I didn't know where to go.  Like everyone else, I got an application to the state university but my heart was not in it.  I remember attending meetings of those who wanted to enter the seminary and being the only senior there.

I must have confided to Bro. Joe because after graduation, I worked at the electronics lab during the summer.  We sorted donated electronic components from Germany courtesy of Miserior.  During this time, Bro. Joe drove me to the seminary and arranged a meeting with the provincial superior of the order.  I was asking for an academic scholarship.  That was going to be my ruse to enter the college / seminary because, when I asked back in grade school, my mom wouldn't let me saying that I was too young.

In the meeting, Fr. Provincial opposed the idea saying that I would need to tell my mom sooner or later.  And that is what I did. My mom allowed me this time.

In this post, I want to highlight the effort of this brother in fostering and working for vocations and thank him for doing so.
