From Bruce:
Most of my friends know that I served as a volunteer at Ground Zero beginning six days after the World Trade Towers were destroyed by Islamic fanatics who flew hijacked passenger jets into them. I would have been there sooner, but the airlines were totally grounded for nearly a week before I could catch a ride to New York City.
Lately, I’ve been aghast at the unfolding reports of a huge mosque being planned to open adjacent to the site of the worst Islamic Jihadist attack in history. To tell the truth, the entire fiasco has made me nearly speechless with outrage. Groping for words adequate to describe or encompass this unspeakably vulgar display of arrogance by Islamists, I’ve not written of it until now.
Finally, I found someone who actually comes close to describing my feelings and thoughts regarding this. Pat Condell is a British pundit and vlogger who got it right on this issue. I cannot improve on his words. He and I would agree on very little else, seeing that he is a rather vocal atheist who regards people like me as a lower form of imbecile. Nevertheless, in dealing with the issue of the mosque being established near Ground Zero, and to add insult to injury, having it dedicated on September 11th on the day of the tenth anniversary of this Jihadist attack, Pat nailed it!
View the video below. If you agree with him, forward it to as many as possible. We must stop this atrocity from occurring!

Nearly every day our senses are assaulted by a rising chorus of anti-Semitic voices calling for the destruction of Israel. Shockingly, some of those voices even emanate from “Christian” circles now and then. I cannot imagine a greater oxymoron (or vulgarity) than to profess one is a Christian, declaring faith in a Jew named Yeshua, reading a Jewish bible full of Jewish prophets who predicted the reestablishment of the state of Israel and the regathering of the Jewish people to their national homeland, who would then speak or act against the Jewish people and Israel.
Some would say I’m obsessing over this issue. Perhaps, but I’m in good company. There were a few others who spoke up in defense of the Jewish people before the holocaust. I’m honored to make a small contribution to that cause.

The video below is one of the most cogent and insightful analysis’ I’ve heard yet regarding the imminent conflict between Iran and Israel. Most people find it easier to ignore this situation, and the national media in the West is largely turning a blind eye to it unless they see some opportunity to throw rocks at the Jewish State.
What we all have to realize is that Israel is the central issue facing the world today. Why would I say such a thing, in the face of the oil-spill disaster in the Gulf, or the Progressive/Marxist takeover of the United States? It’s simple really. The fortunes and future of all nations have a direct correlation to how they act toward the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. On what authority do I say this? The bible! This is God’s promise to Abraham, the father of the Jewish people and the spiritual father of all who walk with God by faith…
“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
(Genesis 12:3 NKJV)
For my Christian friends who require a proof-text from the New Testament, I would direct you to the words of the Jew Yeshua:
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory,
and all the holy angels with Him,
then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
“All the nations will be gathered before Him,
and He will separate them one from another,
as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
And He will set the sheep on His right hand,
but the goats on the left.
Then the King will say to those on His right hand,
‘Come, you blessed of My Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world:
‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink;
I was a stranger and you took Me in;
‘I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me;
I was in prison and you came to Me.’
Then the righteous will answer Him, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You,
or thirsty and give You drink?
‘When did we see You a stranger and take You in,
or naked and clothe You?
‘Or when did we see You sick, or in prison,
and come to You?’
“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you,
inasmuch as you did it
to one of the least of these My brethren,
you did it to Me.’ (Matthew 25:31-40 NKJV)
Would it be a shock to you to realize that Yeshua was speaking of His Jewish brethren? It’s clear enough, for when He spoke this, there was no church, and no Christians. He was merely echoing God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis quoted above regarding the covenant people.
Now, certainly, this would also now apply to all those, both Jew and Gentile, who have entered into covenant relationship with God. Remember that even Abram was once a goy, a man of the nations, who become the father of all those who would come after and walk in the covenants of God.
Anyway, click on the video below and hear words of wisdom. Ponder deeply their meaning, for I believe prophesy is being fulfilled. God will judge the nations according to how they treated His covenant people. The national homeland of the Jewish people, Israel, is the tangible, physical manifestation of God’s grace. Israel’s existence is a miracle, and how we support and aid their survival and blessing will be the crucible by which the hearts of men will be weighed.
Shame on the entire world community including the USA and the UN for condemning Israel.
The time had come to say, ‘Frankly World We Do not Give a Damn…We Are Here To Prevail, Thus, We Will Protect And Defend Ourselves. Let It be Known, Jewish Blood Is Very Precious.’
Thank you Fred Leder for this Israeli Flix video. This video shows that during the unloading of the M/S. Mavi Marmara Turkish vessel in the Israeli Port of Ashdod, behind the flour bags were boxes of heavy weapons and ammunition: mortars, artillery shells, bazookas, without counting a trunk where more than one million Euros was found intended for Hamas.
Let us see what is aboard the Irish vessel, the M/S. Rachel Corrie, that Israel will intercept sometime today when it approaches the Naval blockade line off the coast of Gaza. Clearly the Turkish AKP Islamist government is complicit in permitting this military cargo to be loaded on the ‘peaceful’ Free Gaza Flotilla. Please distribute this video widely.
If you had any doubt about what was on the flotilla, here is the video.
The French explains that the arms on display were hidden behind sacks of grain.

Regarding the Ft. Hood Terrorist attack, I’ll put my cards on the table.
I LOVE Muslims, and regard them as precious human beings who are caught up in the most dangerous, violent, manipulative, and delusional cult in the history of mankind. Islam is a hateful political/military ideology cloaking itself as a “religion” and it is an evil LIE. On the basis of overwhelming historical evidence, and the writings and testimony contained in the Qu’ran and the Hadith (Islam’s “holy” books) Mohammed was a delusional psychopath–a vile, hateful, violent man, and an admitted pedophile.
Now, I realize that such a statement will be regarded as “over the top” by those who have bought-into the “politically correct” lie that Islam is a legitimate “religion of peace” founded by an inspired “holy man,” and therefore is above criticism. (It’s a pity that such deferential attitudes do not apply when Christianity or Judaism is discussed.) I also realize that by daring to speak the truth so plainly about this violent cult, I’ve earned the scorn of many of my deluded Christian and Jewish friends, and a death sentence in the minds of those who are devoted to following this lunatic and his incoherent rants. I must nevertheless speak the truth. For those who are offended by the above statement, I challenge you to read some of the disgusting stories and words of Mohammed himself, quoted from Islam’s own “holy books.” These quotes can be found at an excellent website: http://prophetofdoom.net
Those who know me well are aware of the many frequent-flyer miles I’ve racked-up over the past decade responding to various places like New York City after 9/11, Beslan, Russia, Israel, and the Philippines where Islamic miscreants have done their dirty work. Thus, you know of my struggles. I’ll be the first to admit that witnessing the horrific things committed in the name of the “religion of peace” have left a mark upon my soul. Some former Christian associates and pastors have “written me off” in recent years because they consider me “too negative” or “not a good fit” with their congregations.
Guilty as charged. I’ve ministered in places and seen things few dare even contemplate, let alone go to (and kudos to those individuals and churches who do). I’m certainly not a “good fit” in churches where the shepherds preoccupy themselves with “comforting the comforted” and making sure no-one is offended by anything too controversial. After all, there’s a payment due on the church mortgage, and a payroll to meet. The “sheeple” must be “protected” from “negative thoughts” and the harsher realities of a “sinful world” lest they become alarmed and their faith-confessions hindered in their pursuit of health, wealth, and earthly happiness. I can almost hear the angels weeping over the pathetic state of His church.
Our Messiah was a confronter, not a comforter of evil. Some of His teachings and actions were harsh, and He minced no words regarding religious oppression. He was also a brilliant tactical warrior. He did not directly attack the politics of His times, but struck at the root cause of all politics—the hearts of men. He knew that the evil one was only able to gain control of politics when people were blinded to the truth and spiritually corrupted.
“WHAT ABOUT FORGIVING OUR ENEMIES?”
But I say unto you,
Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matthew 5:44-45 KJV)
Of all Yeshua’s teachings, the one above ranks as one of the most difficult. For centuries, people have struggled with the issue of forgiveness and the concept of loving one’s enemies. As with most things, it’s easier to say than to actually do.
You may have noticed that I’ve emphasized the words “the evil” and “the unjust” in the quote above. This is deliberate, for even though Yeshua commanded His followers to forgive and bless their enemies, He did not deny the existence of evil or unjust men.
I feel entirely justified to HATE evil. I also HATE ideologies that oppress, enslave, or otherwise force people to live in poverty, fear, and hopelessness. I DETEST political/religious, systems that prevent people from discovering TRUTH and even kill or imprison those who try. I also despise concepts that teach children that TRUTH is merely a relativistic “opinion,” in order to make them more susceptible to lies and deception. It is right to forgive those who commit evil. It is NEVER right to forgive evil itself.
I have often said that the first victim of Islam is the Moslem. In my travels I’ve met many Moslems, and in the case of those who are not fully indoctrinated into (and radicalized by) the Qu’ran and the Hadith, I have found them warm, gracious, caring people. However, such persons are not fully obedient Moslems, according to the Qu’ran and the Hadith. I have also met former Moslems, who found peace through faith in Yeshua, and their stories and testimonies have moved me deeply. In fact, I am aware that many Moslems are turning away from Islam and embracing Yeshua, not merely as an Islamic “prophet,” but as He actually is: the Messiah of the whole world. They are some of the most courageous people in the world, for to turn away from Islam to Christianity or Judaism means an automatic death sentence.
People who are living under the oppression of fundamentalist Islamic rule groan under the cruel boot of Mohammed’s rants. We in the West can scarcely comprehend the terrors endured by women and children under sharia (Islamic) law. Because we cannot comprehend, we ignore. It is disgusting to behold so many otherwise intelligent people in government, academia, and the “snooze media” who are constantly braying about how Islam is a “religion of peace.” Such ignorance is breathtaking. Our President crows as often as opportunity allows about the “great contributions” Islam has given to the world. Contributions indeed. Nearly 1,600 years of beheadings, genital mutilation of women, terrorism, oppression and murder of non-Muslims, and religious intolerance of any other faith.
THE FT. HOOD MASSACRE WAS NOT THE WORK OF A MADMAN
We are now being told by our President, and virtually every organ of the government, that Major Nidal Hassan was not an Islamic terrorist. Obama proffered that he must have “snapped.” Our top military leaders, fearful of their careers, echo this nonsense. The “snooze media” parrot this line as much as they calculate they can get away with it, and logic is being “waterboarded” to convince us that Islamists are all followers of a “peaceful religion” and there really are no jihadists among us. As the evidence piles up that this man had openly expressed his hatred of America, and his views of Islam’s mandate to kill infidels, and the fact that he declared in Arabic that “Allah is Greater” as he mercilessly shot unarmed soldiers, more and more excuses are offered by those who choose to be “politically correct” rather than honest. Major Hassan was acting with perfect consistancy with the teachings of Islam. The greater guilt may fall upon those who are abysimally (and in some cases, willfully) ignorant of those teachings and seek to exonerate this terrorist.
My dear Christian and Jewish friends… PLEASE inform yourself about this dangerous cult, and do all you can to inform others. DO NOT HATE MOSLEMS! They are ultimately victims of this evil scourge, and we must do all we can to help them to see the light of God’s (The God of Israel) love and forgiveness in the Messiah Yeshua.

An Editorial Comment:
Rifqa Bary
Rifqa Bary, a former Muslim and Christian convert from Ohio, may yet face the real possibility of being another victim of “Honor Killings” in the U.S.The ongoing drama of Rifqa Bary continues as legal battles continue. Her emphatic testimony is that her father threatened to kill her if she did not renounce her faith in Jesus. Now, new evidence is surfacing that the mosque that her parents attend has ties with known Islamofascist terror groups. These guys play for keeps, and makes her legal extradition back to Ohio and her family look more and more like a death sentence.
What drives me crazy is the abysmal ignorance often demonstrated by the “drive by” media and the legal system when it comes to matters of Islamic sharia law, and how seriously these people take it. The cult of multiculturalism and political correctness seeks to “celebrate” all religions (except of course, Christianity and Judaism, which are regarded as bigoted and narrow-minded) and find it nearly impossible to call anything evil. Here is a recent report from CBN News.

UPDATE ON RIFQA BARY 8/24/09
17-year-old Christian convert Rifqa Bary has been given permission by FL court to remain in foster care in Florida until she is 18 and can make her own decisions. The radical Islamic group CAIR (Council for American-Islamic Relations) is pulling out all the stops to get Rifqa extradited back to Ohio where her life will be endangered by the Muslim community and her family. According to Rifqa, her father threatened to kill her for converting to Christ in an “Honor Killing.”

“When a person who has reached puberty
and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam,
he deserves to be killed.
In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (or his representative)
to ask him to repent and return to Islam.
If he does, it is accepted from him,
but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.”

Obama Blesses Muslim World on Ramadan Reported: 23:29 PM – Aug/22/09
Barack Hussein Obama in Muslim Garb
(IsraelNN.com) US President BarakObama blessed the Muslim world on Saturday to mark the beginning of the Muslim Ramadan festival.
In the special address he reiterrated his support for a “Palestinian state” and said it would allow Israel and Arabs to live in “peace and security”. Obama also said that the Ramadan rituals “remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”
IS THIS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE?!
I am lately left nearly breathless at the hubris demonstrated by Barack Hussein Obama. Only the most uninformed among us with less than a room-temperature IQ could accept the above statement by the President as anything even remotely akin to reality. “…Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings!??” Does this man even live on the same planet as we do?
Even a cursury glimpse of Islamic history in the world since the time of Mohammed would lead any reasonable and sane person to conclude that Islam has contributed NOTHING WHATSOEVER to “justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”NOTHING I SAY! NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY THING!!
“Honor Killings” have occured in Islamic communities for centuries. According to the United Nations (certainly NOT my favorite source of reliable information) as many as 5,000 women are murdered in such honor killings around the world each year. Given the well-documented pro-Islamic bias in the UN, I would double or triple this estimate. These women are slaughtered, often by their own fathers or close relatives, for offenses like immodesty or refusing an arranged marriage.
Often, even here in the USA, young girls are beaten or murdered if they date non-Muslim boys. The case of Amina and Sarah Said, who were sexually abused and later shot to death by their father, 50-year-old Yaser Said, as they tried to call for help on a cell phone is just one case. 1
Most of us in the U.S. cannot bring ourselves to even imagine the kind of abuse that young Muslim women are subjected to. I share here a quote from a fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran (who likely now resides in one of the hotter corners of hell).
“A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual acts such as foreplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man’s four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl’s sister.”
I cannot bring myself to even describe the sorts of OUTRAGEOUS sexual abuse children are subjected to in Islamic societes. I will only give you a reference here to a site that will lay out the sordid details. BE WARNED. The information is NOT for the squeemish, and is definately X-Rated. However, it is well-documented and important to be aware of. Click on this ONLY if you are a responsible adult and able to WEEP for these poor children! 2
Returning to Barack Hussein Obama’s tribute to the Muslim faith, this is nothing less than a propaganda “snow job” for multicultural cult-worshippers and assorted liberal deniers who would unflinchingly allow Islamic instruction in our nation’s schools in the name of “Cultural Diversity” while banning Christianity in the name of “Separation of Church and State.”
I leave you with the following video of a young 17-year-old girl who lives daily for fear of her life RIGHT HERE IN THE USA, just because of her acceptance of Jesus Christ. Her Islamic father threatened to kill her. So much for “peace and tolerance” from the “religion of peace.” Will Obama defend her religious freedom to choose her own beliefs? Will she be given asylum and be allowed to live?

Sons of Islam everywhere, the jihad is a duty
- to establish the rule of Allah on earth
and to liberate your countries and yourselves
from America’s domination and its Zionist allies,
it is your battle – either victory or martyrdom.
Sheikh A. Yassin
Islamic fanaticism remains, in my mind, as the premier threat to Western Civilization. While we occupy ourselves with the latest maneuvers by the Obama administration to impoverish our people and drastically weaken our defense capabilities with unmitigated socialism, or who will sing next on American Idol, our Jihadist enemies prepare for yet another devastating terrorist attack against our nation. Liberals just cannot seem to bring themselves to believe that there actually are people out there who desire to destroy us and bring us into slavery. We are a nation at risk, and never more so than now.
I received a recently forwarded email supposedly written by a Dr. Emanuel Tanay, titled; A German’s view of Islam.
However, after some investigation, I learned that Dr. Tanay did not actually write it. It was penned originally in February of 2006 by Paul E. Marek, a second-generation Canadian, whose grandparents fled Czechoslovakia just prior to the Nazi takeover. His article follows.
Why The Peaceful Majority Is Irrelevant
By Paul E. Marek
I used to know a man whose family were German aristocracy prior to World War Two. They owned a number of large industries and estates. I asked him how many German people were true Nazis, and the answer he gave has stuck with me and guided my attitude toward fanaticism ever since.
“Very few people were true Nazis” he said, “but, many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.”
We are told again and again by “experts” and “talking heads” that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unquantified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars world wide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. The hard quantifiable fact is that the “peaceful majority” is the “silent majority” and it is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. The Average Japanese individual prior to World War 2 was not a war mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of Killing that included the systematic killing of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were “peace loving”.
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points. Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by the fanatics. Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awake one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun. Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Bosnians, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others, have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
(Editor’s footnote)
If 9-11 was a wakeup call, did we simply hit the “snooze button” and go back to sleep? Our enemies are counting on it! Now they have a president in the White House who may well preside over the most devastating attacks against our country in all our history. Who will they blame? Why, Bush, of course!

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Each chapter of the Qur’an begins with the words: “…Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.”
Now, can someone please tell me how the following true story of an Islamic follower, who carries out such an unspeakably horrible punishment upon an 8-year-old child for the crime of stealing bread, reveals the mercy and compassion of their god Allah?
In the meantime, self-proclaimed “compassionate liberals” in the West howl and scream “child abuse!” when a Christian or Jewish parent lovingly spanks their child for training and discipline (which, if done properly does no harm to the child), and then turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the kind of cruelty and mutilation met out by observant Moslems where sharia law is the law of the land? Where were the voices of these “compassionate liberals” when Saddam was slaughtering hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children and throwing their bodies into mass graves in the desert?
The pictures below are shocking, but sadly, the scene is not a rare one in Islamic countries. Amputation and mutilation is commonly practiced by adherents of the “religion of peace” for petty crimes. The pictures tell the story. Please pass it along.
This little Iranian boy will likely never be able to use his arm again for the rest of his life.
