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.

How the Radical Left
Plan to Destroy the Republic Through Our Children
by: Dr. Bruce R. Porter

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Is The Hand That Rules The World

 -From a poem by William Ross Wallace- 

 “When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’
I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already…What are you?
You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.
In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.
…Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state.”
– Adolph Hitler

A letter from the U.S. Department of Education was recently sent to America’s school principals, announcing that President Barack Obama “will deliver a national address to the students of America” on Tuesday, September 8, at 12 noon EDT. The letter encourages “students of all ages, teachers, and administrators to participate in this historic moment by watching the president deliver the address, which will be broadcast on the White House website.”

The letter goes on to state that the President “…will speak directly to the nation’s children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school.” and “…encourages educators to use this moment” to lay aside their ordinary lesson plans and choose from a “menu of classroom activities” prepared by the Obama administration’s own “teachers-in-residence” and “Teaching Ambassador Fellows.”

The climax of this outrage is a letter announcing that the Obama Department of Education is “launching the ‘What I am to Learn’ video contest,” offering three grand prizes of $1,000 cash to the best responses to the President’s educational challenge, to be awarded in October by a “panel of judges including” Obama’s own Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. There is a dark underside to this little exercise that is more than troubling.

Part of the exercise was to include teachers putting up “quotations” from Obama on the walls, and having the children making a “pledge” to do what they can to “serve” President Obama. This is the pinch of arsenic in the sweet-pie. Under our constitution, (unlike nations like North Korea or China) our leaders SERVE US. They are our employees and as such, we are NOT their servants! I fear that we are witnessing the beginnings of an effort to recruit our children into a dangerous cult of personality worship not unlike what we saw in Socialist Germany in the 1930s.

First of all, can anyone show me a reference in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights giving the President the slightest shred of authority to operate in the role of “Superintendent in Chief” of a national education system? Look for it. It will not be found! This is nothing less than a transparent, contemptuous, and extremely dangerous move on the part of the Left in our country to move the nation toward their agenda through our children! The only encouraging part of this sorry spectacle is that I’m hearing that no small numbers of parents are planning to keep their children home on Tuesday, and some school Principals are refusing to allow the online video to be shown in their schools. No doubt pressures will be brought to bear upon those brave dissenters in the months to come.

Is this a new tactic on the part of Socialists and Progressives to influence the education environment and the minds of our children? You might be surprised to know that the answer is emphatically NO. This has been a part of a decades-long agenda beginning around the turn of the 19^th century. Journey with me now into a place were the foundations of our Republic were beginning to crumble away. A place where reason and faith were supplanted by an atheistic, humanistic, socialistic mindset that is entirely intolerant of any “belief system” other than its own.

Come with me now, into the “Public Education Zone.”

Our story begins with the establishment of the secular public school system, and to understand it, we must examine who actually set it in motion in America. If you’ve never been exposed to this information, it might seem extreme. Truth sometimes has that effect on you when you’ve lived inside the Matrix all your life. Maybe it’s time to take the red pill, and see how far down the rabbit hole goes… (Reference to the secular film, The Matrix) ¹

Dewey: “The Father of Modern Education”

John Dewey has been called the “Father of Modern Education.” What is not widely known is that he was also a totalitarian socialist who envisioned total government control over all education through the agency of public schools. He believed that through secular public education, a throng of indoctrinated socialists could be brought to power and transform America into a totalitarian society. The world he envisioned would eliminate the Judeo-Christian paradigm. He built his socialist education dream-house with lumber he borrowed from a book titled; “Looking Backward,” published in 1887 by Edward Bellamy, a fellow totalitarian socialist. ²

The foundation-stone of Dewey’s vision was his utter rejection of the existence of ultimate truth. Because the very concept of God is an absolute, he dismissed belief in God and postulated that moral relativism and evolutionary forces govern human existence through chance-random processes. Dewey recognized that deeply held religious convictions, especially those based upon the Bible, would not be easily eradicated from society and would require a long period of “progressive” indoctrination in compulsory public schools. Eventually, the students of these schools would grow up to be teachers and school administrators themselves and would pass on, perhaps unwittingly, the assumptions and world-views of secularism and socialism. What better place for this societal transformation to take place but in the minds and hearts of impressionable children? In fact, Dewey’s book, Democracy and Education, was listed by Human Events magazine as fifth in a list of the ten most harmful books of the 19^th and 20^th centuries. ³

Most people are unaware that Dewey was a prominent signer of the socialist/atheist Humanist Manifesto. ⁴ Secular Humanism is a belief system that utterly rejects the concept of sin, the existence of God, or any need of forgiveness or salvation. Humanism has an entirely different understanding of salvation, asserting that man is his own god, and any “salvation” must come from his own enlightened efforts. Dewey championed Darwinian evolution as the foundation of true science as a means of marginalizing any belief in God as utter ridiculousness. ⁵  Between 1945 and 1953, Dewey’s articles and books virtually amounted to the Americanized version of the Communist Manifesto. His influence helped introduce Marxist socialism into the American culture. History has proven repeatedly that wherever these evil ideologies have gained a foothold, human enslavement, poverty, and misery has multiplied.

Dewey disdained those who maintained “originalist” interpretations of the U.S. Constitution. Because he thought it ludicrous to believe in fixed, unchanging realities, ⁶ he gave philosophical support to the modern idea that the Constitution is a “living document” and must change according to the demands of “Progressivism.” Such fixed landmarks on the political and societal horizons must be removed, and replaced with a socialist totalitarian society free of moral or biblical restraint. He set in motion public education policies that relentlessly sought to identify and eliminate any teacher who continued to hold conservative views. This practice continues to this day, with Christian teachers frequently reprimanded or dismissed for simply displaying a personal bible in open view upon their desk. For a comprehensive study of how these totalitarian thinkers have influenced American public education, I recommend A Brief Chronology of Collectivism by Eric Samuelson, Attorney At Law (October 1997)

Recent polls demonstrate that the vast majority of youth today do not believe in the existence of absolute truth, or the concept of absolute right and wrong. Due to the effectiveness of the socialist agenda in our nation’s public schools, most of our people’s beliefs are now based on what will make them feel good, or give immediate selfish gratification, without much regard for truthful or ethical standards. ⁷  Throughout Dewey’s life, he diligently sought to establish a public school curriculum that erodes Christianity and absolute values, slowly replacing them with relativism. He has been remarkably successful over the past century.

Dewey labored successfully to remove from the “accepted” curriculum list the long-established Eclectic Education Series (EES) textbooks which completely dominated American schools from 1865 to 1915. He also targeted Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Law. Self-proclaimed “tolerant” liberal progressives cannot tolerate views such as the EES textbooks or Blackstone’s Commentaries because they contained ubiquitous references to God and high moral standards. Blackstone was vilified for teaching that laws ultimately originate from God’s word, and taught that there were certain rights and wrongs that never change with the shifting winds of popular opinion. ⁸  McGuffe’s Readers, part of the ESS series, were particularly hated by Dewey and his cohorts because, as Dewey declared in his own words, public schools should be the “State established church.”

Dewey’s socialist activism extended even to helping establish the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).  The ACLU was founded by an associate of Dewey, Roger Nash Baldwin. ⁹  Baldwin was a member of the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA), and was a master at the art of deception regarding his true agendas. ¹⁰  It appears that the deception has been largely successful. Most people look at you askance if you dare to say that the ACLU is a Communist hack organization.

Dewey was also highly influential in the establishment in 1917 of the National Education Association (NEA). ¹¹  Most people are completely ignorant of the true agenda of this organ of the Left, and think it exists to provide a good education to their children. The reality is, however, that the NEA is one of the foremost apparatchiks of public school indoctrination to destroy young minds and turn them into committed little liberal progressives. ^{12 13}

Dewey became even busier. In the 1920s and 30s he foisted his views on progressive evolutionism at Peking University and many other places in China with the liberal progressive, Bertrand Russell. Ironically, Mao Zedong, co-founder of the Communist Party of China (CPC) worked and studied at the University of Peking during that time, and was introduced to Communism there. Is it not possible that Dewey was a contributing factor in the Marxist Cultural Revolution that occurred there in the late 1940s, and resulted in slaughter of tens of millions of people? ¹⁴

Totalitarians view state schools as a means to indoctrinate children as loyal wards of the State. School children are encouraged to reject their parent’s values and even report on them to school authorities when asked. (“Johnny, how many guns does your daddy have at home?”) Dewey firmly believed that children had to be reeducated away from the traditional values of their parents, thereby facilitating citizens for the new world order. Has anyone noticed a similar trend in America’s public schools over the past few decades?

Increasingly, “politically correct” revisionist history books that undermine free-enterprise and loyalty to the United States are finding their way into our classrooms. Recently, incidents of ranting anti-American, socialist teachers have been captured by students who recorded these indoctrination sessions with digital recorders.¹⁵ These reports have been largely ignored by the media and public at large.

Leftist radicals were publishing and promoting textbooks with a socialist agenda even as far back as the 1940s. For example, the Rockefeller Foundation spent millions of (1940) dollars to create history books introducing socialist/atheistic agendas in so-called “approved texts” to local school districts. Did these socialist activists ever stop their agenda? No! Even the California Library Association (a far-left liberal advocacy group) confirmed this fact by posted a scathing rebuttal against conservatives who wanted to stop Marxist indoctrination in the library and school systems in the 40s and 50s.¹⁶

Now we find ourselves in a socialist “Twilight Zone” after the recent presidential campaign. A majority of the electorate became enamored with the concept of “Change,” or “Change We Can Believe In,” with hardly a passing thought about what that “change” would actually mean in practical terms. Judging from what we can read between the lines, we can reasonably expect a radical plunge into a socialist “new world” nightmare. After over fifty years of public school socialist indoctrination, our people seem sufficiently dumbed-down and willing to embrace socialism and secularism. This is playing out just as Dewey and his fellow-travelers envisioned!

Why is this issue so important to these government officials? Perhaps more importantly, why are such huge numbers of parents “opting out” of the public school system and risking the wrath of the State by doing so?

Could it possibly be that parents are deeply concerned with the abysmal academic quality of a public school education? Well-documented studies have shown conclusively that public schools are turning out students with grade equivalences on par with some third-world African nations in spite of massive annual infusions of billions of tax dollars to feed this insatiable system. In 1983, the Reagan administration appointed a blue-ribbon commission to report on the state of American public education. The result was alarming. The report titled, “A Nation at Risk,” sent shockwaves across the nation. Politicians made speeches, school officials sputtered their indignation, and yet, little has improved since then. A Christian Science Monitor report in 2003 revealed that our nation’s schools are in as much a crisis now as then. ¹⁷ Even the liberal Boston Globe released an alarming report on public education in 2006, calling for radical reforms.¹⁸

Perhaps most parents are also not terribly excited about their kids being taught to put condoms on bananas or cucumbers, ¹⁹ or that their God-given gender is a mere happenstance, and they must “explore their sexual identity” even in the primary grades? ²⁰

Or, could it be that parents of faith are distressed that the entire concept of God, (especially the Christian one) is treated like plutonium in public schools; replaced with evolution’s “everything-is-an-accident-and-therefore-nothing-has-meaning” delusions?

Perhaps it just might be that millions of American parents have finally gone beyond being merely annoyed, and are now completely fed-up with the entire public education apparatus itself, and have every reason to believe that those running it have a far different agenda than simply teaching our children math, history, or science. ²¹

I fear we are witnessing the deconstruction of our Constitutional Republic resulting primarily from the “re-education camps” popularly known as public schools. No longer is this radical agenda found in the Colleges and Universities alone, but the radical left has captured the lower grades in the government schools. While they tout slogans about “tolerance” and “multi-culturalism,” the real agenda is the eradication of all competing beliefs and ideologies, particularly Judeo-Christian ones. Their goal is a one-world socialist order where an elite few rule over the ignorant masses and enslave them.

Some of my friends who are either public school teachers or administrators, or, have enrolled their children in the public schools for one reason or another, may feel a bit defensive and perhaps a little offended at this point. Please forgive me, but I cannot hold my peace. Truth is sometimes a bitter pill to swallow. I maintain that you are putting the spiritual and emotional health of not only yourself, but also your children, at grave risk by placing them in these government schools.

The usual defense I get is some variation of; “But our school different! We have great teachers there!” This may be true, and I acknowledge that many public school teachers are loving dedicated people who are not personally in agreement with the dark side of the system they serve. However, you can be sure that these teachers are closely monitored and live daily under the threat of censure or dismissal if they communicate in even the slightest degree to their students, their personal convictions about their faith, or misgivings about the indoctrination taking place. There are also certainly varying degrees of the socialist/humanist indoctrination agenda in play at various schools, often depending on how rural that school may be, and individual administrators. However, I maintain that the underlying “agenda” is definitely present, however cleverly masked it may be, even if only by what is excluded from the curriculum.

In light of the above, it is no surprise that California’s radical-left Judiciary sought to outlaw all home schooling in practicality. They know that private and parochial schools and home schools are the last bastion of freedom. They fear that un-indoctrinated home-school students may rise up and oppose their socialist agenda. Karl Marx called such upstarts “Reactionaries.” The “new world order” zealots must crush all other ideas, especially ones that inculcate a supreme loyalty to the God of the Bible over the State.

“I know not what course others may take…” –Patrick Henry 

I cannot speak for the resolve others may hold regarding this issue, but as a home-schooling father, I will resist any effort to indoctrinate my grade-school daughter, or my grandchildren into the socialist “new world order.” This is culture war. My fervent hope and prayer is that it will not esclalate into something even more ominous. We didn’t seek this conflict, but it has come nevertheless, forced upon us by those who wish to fundamentally change our nation and world into a humanistic, atheistic, totalitarian nightmare. As the actor Sean Connery said in his King Arthur character in the film First Knight, “There’s a peace to be found only on the other side of war. If that battle must come, I will fight it!”

Will we prevail in our struggle to retain the freedom to educate our children according to our faith with academic excellence and patriotic conviction? Let us hope so, for the price we will pay for defeat is far too terrible to contemplate. Are we willing to stand for truth and pay freedom’s price yet again? Are there yet among us those who would resist tyranny with “our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor?” One thing is certain. If we do nothing, if we refuse to speak out and remain on the sidelines in this battle, we will ensure our defeat and enslavement.

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.

The Core Cause of the Middle East Conflict

By: Dr. Bruce R. Porter

Secular solutions to the Arab/Israel conflict are doomed to failure. This is because the conflict is not merely a political struggle or a dispute over real estate. The core problem is Islamic intolerance and hostility toward all other religions including secular states not under Islamic control. This intolerance is particularly focused on Christians and Jews, and especially upon the Jewish State of Israel. There are clear reasons for this within Islamic theology and teaching. For the purposes of this article, I will focus primarily on the Arab/Israeli conflict, and probe the underlying reasons for it.

There are several standard arguments offered by Israel’s enemies to justify her destruction. The list usually includes the following oft-repeated charges;

-         Israel’s “illegal occupation” of “Palestinian” land

-         Israel’s “human rights” abuses against Arabs

Beyond these broad charges, specific to the existence of the Jewish State, the Jewish people have endured accusations of more sinister conspiratorial plots against humanity in general. Some of these defamatory accusations include;

• Jewish “control” over the world’s banking systems
  
• Jewish “control” over the media of the world
  
• Jewish dishonesty in business and commerce
  
• Jewish religious practices that include child sacrifices
  
• Jewish plots to control the world

All the above anti-Jewish libels (each easily refuted by well-established facts) comprise an intricate web of deceitful smoke screens and straw man arguments designed to divert attention away from the REAL reason that opposition to the Jewish people and the State of Israel is so vituperative and insidious. For purposes of this presentation, I shall narrow my focus on this singularly fundamental factor in anti-Zionist rancor, and leave the other issues to those infinitely more qualified to argue them.

Religious Considerations

While the nations of the world (and even liberal/secular Israelis) seek to grapple with the Arab/Israeli conflict from a purely secular/political approach, the religious foundations of the present conflict are almost entirely ignored. Even if one is non-religious or even atheist in world-view, it must be recognized that religious considerations loom large in the minds of Israel’s most intransigent enemy, the fundamentalist followers of Islam. In the main, Arab opposition to the existence of Israel in the Middle East is based upon literal interpretations of Islamic teachings in the Qu’ran and the Hadith. For example, consider the following quotations attributed to Mohammed;

The Messenger said during his final illness,

‘Two religions cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula.’

Umar investigated the matter, then sent to the Jews, saying:

‘Allah has given permission for you to be expelled;

for I have received word that the Prophet said that two religions cannot coexist in Arabia.

Tabari VIII:130

Allah’s Apostle said,

‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews,

and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say,

“O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”’

Bukhari:V4B52N177

 Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country.

Bukhari:V1B1N6

Anti-Semitism in History

It must be acknowledged that anti-Semitism has not, either historically or in present times, arisen exclusively within the Islamic community. Nazi philosophy derives much of its anti-Semitic fervor in the quasi-religious belief in the myth of the supremacy of the Aryan race. This belief was fostered in great part by the Theosophical movement founded by Helena Blavatsky. She thought that the Aryans originally came from Atlantis and described the Aryan races with the following words:

“The Aryan races, for instance, now varying from dark brown,

almost black, red-brown-yellow, down to the whitest creamy colour,

are yet all of one and the same stock

– the Fifth Root-Race –

and spring from one single progenitor, (…)

who is said to have lived over 18,000,000 years ago,

and also 850,000 years ago –

at the time of the sinking of the last remnants

of the great continent of Atlantis.”

(Secret Doctrine, Volume II, p.249)

“Lucifer represents..
Life.. Thought.. Progress..
Civilization.. Liberty.. Independence..
Lucifer is the Logos..
the Serpent, the Savior.”

(Secret Doctrine, Volume II, pages 171, 225, 255)

Blavatsky’s occult ideas fed into the development of Nazi ideology. Hitler’s obsession to “cleanse” the Aryan Europeans (the “master race”) of Semitic pollutions drove him to systematically slaughter the Jews in the holocaust. The foundational (and religious) philosophy of the Atlantis myth fueled this unspeakable evil, and yet influences white supremacist neo-Nazi groups to this present day.

Interestingly, Nazi and Islamic anti-Semitism joined forces during World War II when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini, personally recruited for Hitler Bosnian-Muslim troops—a unit of the “Hanjar (Saber) Division” of the Waffen SS—to give Muslim assistance to the Nazi “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” Was this unholy alliance destroyed in World War II? Decidedly not! Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and the slanderous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, are presently best sellers in Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, and many other Islamic nations. Nazism did not die with Hitler on April 30, 1945in his Berlin Führerbunker. Like the mythical vampire, the foul corpse has resurrected again in the form of Islamofascism.

Christian anti-Semitism is also a well-established historical fact, and any attempt to deny this charge is ludicrous. In recent times, however, overt expressions of Christian anti-Semitism have become relatively rare, being confined to a few aberrant “replacement theology” sects, white “Christian Identity” supremacists, and leftist/liberal denominations. Although they are relatively few in number, these groups command disproportionate media attention because their sensational and outrageous claims make them newsworthy.

The largest majorities of Christians, particularly among Evangelical churches in the United States, are highly supportive of Israel, and feel a strong bond of fraternity with the Jewish people. In addition, many Catholic Christians possess a deep sense of remorse regarding historical offenses committed against the Jewish people in the name of Christ, and are zealous to make amends for past abuses. In March of 2000, Pope John Paul II publicly asked God’s forgiveness for the sins of Roman Church through the ages, including wrongs inflicted on Jews, women and minorities. While the apology fell short in the eyes of many Jewish leaders, specifically because the Pope did not mention the sins of the church with regard to the Holocaust, or the controversial role of Pope Pius XII, who many Jews believe turned a blind eye to the Nazi death camps, it remains that an apology was offered. Vatican Cardinal Edward Cassidy later expressed an apology, with a response from the Pope, specifically referencing the treatment of Jews, and said: “Christians will acknowledge the sins committed by a not a few of their number against the people of the Covenant.”

Islam, however, has no such remorse, and those who take the Qu’ran and Hadith seriously are entirely committed to the eradication of the Jewish State and the Jewish people. In addition, their genocidal obsessions do not confine themselves to the Jews alone. It is clear, not only from Islamic writings, but also from Jihadist terrorism in recent decades, that Islam’s goal is total domination over every other religious belief in the world.

Secular Solutions Alone Cannot Bring Peace

No amount of appeasement, territorial compromises, political agreements, or diplomatic efforts will bring peace to the Middle East so long as Islam and the Jewish State of Israel exist. Historically, and up to the present day, the Arab/Israeli conflict has stemmed primarily from fundamentalist Islam. The clear teachings of Mohammad make it impossible for Islam to coexist peacefully with people of any other religion, and especially Judaism. This is the dirty little secret that secularist politicians are loath to acknowledge, primarily because it is beyond their ability to control. This is the reason America’s war against fundamentalist Islamic Jihadist warriors is publicly cloaked under the more politically correct rubric of “The War against Terror.” This is, of course, patently absurd, for how could any nation possibly ever win a war against a tactic of warfare? Would this not be akin to President Roosevelt making a nonsensical declaration of war against “sneak attacks” in the wake of the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, while making no mention of the Imperial Japanese?

Islamic Intolerance IS the Problem

On May 3, 1999, the official Palestine Authority (PA) radio station (Voice of Palestine) broadcast the following religious sermon (at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque) instructing all Muslims that Israel is part of Palestine and that Israel’s survival is “forbidden by religious law:”

“The land of Muslim Palestine is a single unit which cannot be divided.

There is no difference between Haifa and Nablus, between Lod and Ramallah, between Jerusalem and Nazareth.

The division of the land of Palestine into cantons and the recognition of the occupation is forbidden by religious law,

since the land of Palestine is sacred Wakf land for the benefit of all Muslims, east and west.

No one has the right to divide it or give up any of it.

The liberation of Palestine is obligatory for all the Islamic nations and not only for our Palestinian nation…

All Israeli politicians across their entire political spectrum, regardless of their labels,

they all have a single Zionist view embodied in the occupation of the land

and the establishment of the Zionist entity at the expense of the Muslim Palestinian land…

Allah shall free the captives and the prisoners,

Allah shall grant victory to our jihad warriors.”

(Emphasis Added)

Consider the following quotes by Islamic leaders.

“In the end Israel will disappear as the Koran states.

From the standpoint of the Koran,

there is no place for Israel and its existence is not justifiable.”

(Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Abdalla Shalah, Mid-East Mirror, November 10, 1996)

“Islam does not permit giving up one inch of Palestine

and states that Palestine belongs to the Muslims, belongs to the Palestinian people,

not to the Jews.

Bartering land is not liberation and is not permissible in Islam.”

(Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz Rantisi, Jerusalem Post, May 25, 1997)

“Islamic law does not rule out peace with Israel …

 on condition that it is a temporary peace,

 until the Moslems build up the [military] strength needed to expel the Jews.”

(Sheikh Abdel Aziz Bin-Baz, Mufti of Saudi Arabia, January, 1995)

In January of 2006, Hamas won the majority 74 of 132 seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council. This organization was founded in 1987 and is funded primarily by Iran. The Hamas Charter states:

“We [all Palestinians] know the Palestinian problem is a religious one,

 to be dealt with on this premise…

 ‘I swear by that [sic] who holds in his hands the Soul of Muhammad!

 I indeed wish to go to war for the sake of Allah!

I will assault and kill, assault and kill, assault and kill.”

(Emphasis added)

Palestinian Police give Nazi Salute

Itamar Marcus, the Director of Palestinian Media Watch, recently gave an oral presentation at

Tel Aviv University’s Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies. In his paper entitled; Islam’s Mandatory War against Jews and Israel, Marcus documented that the Palestinians have completely redefined the Arab/Israeli conflict as “a religious war for Allah in which compromise is heretical.” If it were merely a border dispute, such a conflict might be settled with diplomacy and compromise. As a religious dispute, all such diplomacy is doomed to failure.

Islamic leaders in the Palestinian Authority continuously emphasize the following eight points during Friday services in mosques:

Jews are the enemy of Allah

The killing of a Jew is a religious obligation

All agreements with Israel are temporary in nature

Islam is fighting a religious war against the Jews

Palestinians are the vanguard in this war against the Jews,
but all of Islam is obligated to assist them

All the of the land between the Jordan River
and the Mediterranean Sea is Islamic trust
and any Muslim who relinquishes his land
is damned to hell

Allah will replace Muslims who shirk their duty to fight Israel

The ultimate destruction of Israel is a certainty

More ominously, it is a well-documented fact that the PA Authority wields absolute control over PA schools, and regularly indoctrinates children from preschool onward with venomous hatred of Jews and Christians, brainwashing them on the above eight points. Is it any wonder that there is no shortage of new Jihadist fighters in Islam’s war against Israel?

Islam’s Mandate

“Blessed is he who fights Jihad in the name of Allah,

 blessed is he who [goes on] raids in the name of Allah,

 blessed is he who dons a vest of explosives on himself or on his children

 and goes in to the depth of the Jews and says:

 ‘Allahu Akbar, Blessed be Allah’

 Like the collapse of the building

 upon the heads of the Jews in their sinful dance-hall,

 I ask of Allah that we see the Knesset collapsing

 on the heads of the Jews.”

(Emphasis added)

- – Dr. Muhammad Ibrahim Madi, Friday Sermon, Palestinian TV, June 8, 2001

No amount of political maneuvering, treaties, agreements, “peace processes,” or “roadmaps” will substantively change the commitment of Islamists to not only destroy the State of Israel and murder the Jews resident there, but then subjugate the entire world under Sharia (Islamic) control.

Israel’s Struggle is the World’s Struggle

All other faiths, especially Christians, are also marked for subjugation or slaughter in the Islamic world envisioned by Jihadists. Palestinian children are taught a song that sums up this reality. One of the verses states; “First we will go after the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” With this shared fate, it is entirely logical that Christians and Jews, as well as other faiths, form a united front against this evil.

Denial In the Face of Evidence

Passionate resistance is aroused each time the axe of truth is laid upon the root of Mohammad’s Islamic poison ivy. While evil marches under the banner of the Crescent of Islam, modern society finds it nearly impossible to comprehend such malevolence. Playing upon this near-pandemic incredulity, pro-Islamist propagandists spare no expense and effort to assuage public alarm by seeking to portray Islam as a “religion of peace.” Unfortunately, many gullible and uninformed political leaders reinforce this propaganda in a misguided effort to show tolerance.

Additionally, pro-Islamist groups have formed legal advocacy, public relations, and political advocacy groups in the West. These well-financed and highly skilled Islamic apologists have shown themselves more than willing to exploit our legal system and media, and utilize litigation and character defamation against anyone who dares to expose Islam’s true agenda. An ignorant and naïve populace only makes the Islamic apologists’ task easier.

In spite of well-documented vicious Islamic suicide attacks against innocent civilians around the world, as well as on U.S. soil on 9/11, there is no shortage of hopeful humanists who continue to try and “understand” this cult of terror and evil. Examples of the Islamic atrocities would fill volumes, and yet appeasers remain resolute in their denial.

Solutions? Few Exist. None Are Pleasant

Military solutions, whether in Iraq, Israel, or any other place where Islamic Jihadists operate, are doomed to failure if applied with anything less than decisive and overwhelming force. Such application of military force against the advance of Islamic violence is highly unlikely in the present climate of political correctness. Such violence is repugnant to civilized nations—as it should be—especially in consideration of the Jihadist tactic of ensconcing their military operations in the midst of civilian populations so that military attacks against them yield grisly news-video footage of eviscerated women and children. The populations of the West are not conditioned to the harsh realities of war, and grow impatient if a conflict lasts more than a year or two. Also, Western societies love their children more than they love principled causes. By contrast, Islamic extremists love the cause of Islam more than they love their own children, upon whom they strap suicide bombs and make into guided missiles to kill infidels. They are also content to carry on the struggle for centuries if need be.

The more likely long-term solution would be a massive public information effort that would reach into Elementary and Secondary school curricula with accurate information, and an expose’ of Islamic teachings that reveal their agenda of world hegemony. This would also require a concerted public awareness program aimed at the news media, entertainment, and culture. Such public awareness would stave off efforts to neutralize Westerners’ resistance to the Islamic agenda. This solution is also highly unlikely because of the presently entrenched cult of “multiculturalism” in the U.S., and the increasing adoption of pro-Islamic textbooks in American elementary schools by the “Council on Islamic Education,” who influence textbook committees to adopt their pro-Islam spin under the flag of “tolerance.” (See www.cie.org)

Finally, military force might be useful in the takeover of Islamic learning centers and madras’s, particularly in the “PA occupied” areas of Israel where small children are being brainwashed into malicious hatred and violence against Christians and Jews. Of course, such efforts would be met with violence and mass demonstrations by raging mobs of Muslims around the world. Leftists and civil libertarians could be relied upon to protest such a move as something analogous to “cultural genocide.” However, if enough reasonable people should come to the conclusion that indoctrinating children to believe that murder and hatred is an indefensible activity under any measure of civilized behavior, the collective will would exist to put a stop to this horrendous form of child abuse.

The West Lacks the Will to Win… Unless.

Sadly, it is the opinion of this writer that none of the above solutions will be implemented unless… and I am loath to even write the words… unless there is an act of terrorism by Islamic extremists so devastating, so overwhelming, and so outrageous that the whining voices of the appeasers, the “politically correct,” and the leftists are drowned out by a chorus of outrage. It required a Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese to arouse the American people to the peril of Japanese Imperialism. One would have thought that the Jihadist attack in America on 9/11 would have been sufficient. After all, more people were slaughtered (and civilians at that) on that black day than all the military service people at Pearl Harbor. However, the response has since been watered down by a liberal-left media.

Will it take a nuclear detonation in one or more of our cities? Will it require a chemical/biological attack that slaughters and maims millions of innocent men, women, and children, and devastates our economy to awaken us? Ironically, the impatience of a relatively small number of Jihadists who launch such an outrageous attack may, in the end, prove their own undoing. A well-known quote, attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Imperial Japanese task force, is apropos. Shortly after the attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, Admiral Yamamoto was quoted as saying;

“I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant

 and filled him with a terrible resolve.”

Perhaps the “sleeping giant” may yet awaken again, but will need to be shaken hard.

As a Christian, (and the same can be said for Jews) I am convinced in an ultimate sense that the Creator is not the slightest bit surprised by any of these problems, and has a plan for each contingency that will end in the establishment of righteousness on the Earth with peace. Until then, we are each “responsible” to the extent of our individual “ability to respond.” As the drama of history plays out on the world stage, I cling to the Biblical promises that Israelis an eternal part of a larger divine plan, and therefore will never cease to exist. Until that Messianic age flourishes, let us each stand for what is right and true, resist evil, and defend the defenseless. God will sort it all out in the end.

I end with a salient quote from President Ronald Reagan, who, against unparalleled opposition, was instrumental in bringing down the former Soviet Union and freeing millions of people from Marxist tyranny. His words ring as true today as they did in 1981 when he said;

“Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.”
