The Christianity I see today is COUNTERFEIT compared to the teachings of both Jesus and His disciples, becoming the very evil it swore to protect us from in 325 AD. What else can explain our Nation's attitude with those in the Middle East? One counterfeit Christian faith supporting a counterfeit Islamic faith and attacking or threatening people who represent the TRUE Islamic faith. That is about as Demonic as you can get, don't you think?
I need to say some things that are not going to sit well with either most of the Islamic or Hebrew peoples, but I have to in order for the reader to understand just a small part of the evil influences flourishing over in that part of the world and why we, as a nation, have become such an integral part in that region of the world.
First of all, the Islamic faith came about as it was foretold in the Holy Bible and the Prophet became the Comforter Jesus spoke of before His ascension. Why? Because that which had been known as the Hebrew land of “The Law” had not existed for centuries and the Christian faith had already fallen away from its origins by several hundred years. If Jesus had come among men to bring an end to The Law and set men FREE into the Holy Spirit and thus in continual communion with God, and all mankind ultimately did was to use Him to re establish the Temple, the Priesthood and substitute The Law with doctrines and dogma, all created to insure domination and control of all who came under their influence; then wouldn't you, as God, ask yourself if mankind had evolved enough to handle His gift?
Wouldn't you look around for the rest of the “chosen” with which to re establish your Law? I would have and my first choice without a moments hesitation would have been the sons of Ishmael, the eldest son of Abraham. Yes, I would have sent my Angels to seek out one who would be my new Moses, my Prophet, to introduce my Law and unite the people through and once again begin molding man into that which would reflect my handiwork in the creation of Adam and Eve. And, they would live in the Promised Land and be mine until that day came that they were ready to accept my gift I gave through my Son, Jesus Christ, the right and ability to be human beings without the burden of The Law which cannot save.
And, so it began in the seventh century, AD, with the Prophet Muhammad. But, like Christianity, something horrible happened. The grandson of the Prophet was murdered by the reigning Caliph of that day and brought about the same schism in Islam as was experienced in the Christian faith. Those who believed in the bloodline of the Prophet became Shi'a Muslims. Those who accepted rule by the Caliph in their faith became Sunni Muslims. From this schism came many sects which broke away from the Sunni, the largest denomination of Islam, maybe as high as 80 percent of the population. Some sects which come to mind are the Maliki, Habal, Hanafi and Shafi. From them have come cults like Wahabism, Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Why is this important? Because it is yet one more time that mankind has turned away from God and have used Him to create a faith whose only purpose is to control and dominate all who come under their influence solely for the purposes of fulfilling the needs or desires of the FLESH.
In my mind, the Shi'a Islamic faith is akin to my own Christian faith that seeks to follow the ORIGINAL intent of our respective Saviors. The Sunnis are akin to the Mother Church who sold its soul to insure the survival of a governmental dictatorship and those who have left the Sunni to form their own sects and cults (denominations) are akin to our own Christian Protestant Churches.
Most are aware of the Al Qaeda and Taliban followers from our news media, but what do you know about the Wahabis? First of all, in all Wahabis supported schools, by the ninth grade students are told in their textbooks that the Prophet and Allah require of them to kill all Jews and infidels, and are told that other Muslims who are not Wahabis are not true Muslims and can be killed the same as infidels. Where are the world's Wahabis? In Saudi Arabia. It is the Saudi Arabian dollars that support Wahabis schools in not only Saudi Arabia but also in the poorest parts of Egypt, to insure the next generation of suicide bombers. Yet, these are the same people our “Christian” White House considers its closest ally in the Middle East. Are these the “Moderates” President Bush spoke of? In truth, hardly.
Much of this schism is not only confusing but “hidden” because all use the Qur'an as their Bible. And, in that Bible, the Prophet plainly tells his followers that they are not to speak ill of their fellow Muslims. So, those who are trying to live the true Islamic faith cannot, by their faith, raise the alarm to the rest of the world, nor can they engage in missionary type activities because that is also strictly forbidden by the Prophet. People come to Islam at the will of Allah, not by the will of man. At the root of this schism is the use of the Hadith (commentaries on the personal life of the Prophet) to interpret the Qur'an. The various collections of Hadith used by the Sunnis is probably FIVE TIMES the volume used by the Shi'a, thus allowing so much room for contradicting and horrendous interpretations. As the Shi'a have been steadfast in following only those whose “bloodline” could be traced back to the Prophet, the Sunnis followed those leaders who offered expediency to their desires and agendas instead of seeking the “Spiritual” guidance of their faith.
All Muslims live under Sharia Laws, but they are far from the same from one faith to another. Those that keep women as chattels of men and carry draconian penalties for not wearing certain clothing, these can all be traced to the Sects which are identified with the Sunni. The Shi'a have no such horrid Sharia Laws. Another aspect between the faiths is the leadership. The Sunni and their Sects and Cults each have their own leaders and often share leaders and opinions which suit their Sect's particular project or goal. The Shi'a have only one leader, the Ayatollah, whom I compare to the Pope in Rome for the Catholic faith. Since we have been in Iraq, again and again the Ayatollah has echoed the words of the Prophet when he tells the Shi'a that there is one sin for which there is no forgiveness; the murder of innocents and noncombatants during time of war. It is so horrendous in their faith, the Prophet says that not only can they not be forgiven for murdering noncombatants, women and children, Allah will also visit a curse upon them for doing so. So, I ask you, who is carrying out suicide bombs, firing rockets into housing complexes, setting off bombs on the roadside? It certainly isn't the Shi'as, is it.
Who are the Shi'as? Iran is a Shi'a state, one of the countries that our White House has targeted for invasion, calling them a terrorist state. It could not be further from the truth. Recently, it was published in the news media that Iran had ceased nuclear weapons research four years ago. I already knew that. How? Because the Ayatollah said so! I want to ask you, what population in Iraq has been left to their own devices to protect themselves from being murdered by other Islamic Sects? The Shi'a, of course, with the pull out of British forces. Even a half blind person visiting Iran does not find the kind of repression found in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. Women do wear the Burkha but are not required to do so. They openly and freely do jobs that are done by men and wear western clothing. Where is the world's largest Jewish community outside of Israel? Right smack in the middle of Iran and they are allowed to move about and worship as they please. The same can be said for the Christians that live there. Why? Because according to the Prophet, if one is willing to obey the laws and to pay the just POOR TAX, they are free to come and go and worship as they please in Muslim lands. No harm would come to them from their Muslim brethren and Muslims would lay their life down to defend and protect them. The Shi'a still stand by those admonishments by the Prophet. But, what Sunni or Sect or Cult of Sunni would? Probably none is the correct answer. Yet the American citizen is to believe that the Sunni are our friends and the Shi'a are our enemies, to the point we are told that Iran's destruction is crucial to the prevention of World War III.
The Prophet often said that the Christian was the true brother of the Muslim. Of course the Christians he knew back then were far removed, by distance and heritage, from what the Church had become. I wonder if he could say the same thing today? Not likely.
As for the Hebrew and the current matters present in Israel, I am absolutely mortified not only in the way the Israeli government has conducted itself in the past, but the way in which it continues to WAGE WAR against the Palestinian people, subsidized entirely by our government. For years, if a child was arrested in the streets for throwing rocks at troops, the Israeli response was to locate the child's parents and then just bulldoze their home into rubble. In a twist on this same theme, Palestinians are required to register with the Israeli government and register their orchards. Then they are required to obtain a “permission” to physically work their orchard. After a couple years with no “permission” forthcoming, the Israeli government just sets out one morning to level the orchard with bulldozers because the farmer didn't have a “permission” to operate it.
Recently reported, several villages and townships within territories already given to the Palestinians were visited by Israeli bulldozers and leveled because they had not gotten the proper permits from Israel to construct their homes within their own land. Follow up news stories showed elderly Palestinians demonstrating at a long abandoned Check Point within the territories in question about the treatment they were given at the hands of the Israeli government, who were then promptly arrested and carried to prison by Israeli troops for demonstrating without a permit. Folks, this is Palestinian land, not Israeli.
Our own population continues to suffer for lack of needed infrastructure expenditures, not to mention the fact that health wise our nation has fallen below that of several third world countries, based on U.N. Figures, with a greater percentage of infants dying in Washington, DC, than who die in Bangladesh. Yet, the U.S. Continues to pour BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars into Israel for the purposes of building settlement homes for Israeli citizens. In every instance when lands were given over to the Palestinians, these settlement homes were bulldozed supposedly because Palestinians would not want to live in a home that an Israeli had previously occupied. Yeah, right. Please tell me another story.
Even today, a view of any map of either the Gaza Strip or the West Bank reveals hundreds of spider like arms extending into those lands which represent Israeli settlements, each one guarded and patrolled by Israeli troops. Now we see the huge walls being constructed between the so-called Palestinian lands and Israel proper, dotted with Israeli Armed Check Points whose sole purpose is to CONTROL not only the population but the resources that are allowed either in or out of those lands.
Well folks, it has taken about 34 years for someone to finally do it, wage war against a people using Population and Resources Control. I know all about it, back in '72and '73 when SEADOC used the facilities of the United States Army Military Police Advanced Officer School at Fort Gordon, Georgia to bring together Command General Officers from the U.S., the U.K., Israel and Russia to plan this very thing. Yes, I was there when it was stated that this would be the most humane way of fighting the next great war, to control the population and their resources without resorting to armed violence. Wonder how humane the Palestinians feel about it with their children and elderly dieing for lack of medical care, or their hungry bellies grumbling, or maybe shivering for lack of fuel oil, or just the inability to travel back and forth to jobs or food outlets?
