FBI to Recommend Clinton Indictment

The nations are trembling!  Are there any real leaders running in the Presidential election who can pick up the baton and get this nation "back on track"?

We doubt that there is any one man, or woman, who is going to come along and fix the massive systemic problems that Team USA has gotten itself into.

Today we read a headline that says FBI will have no choice but to indict Hilary Clinton.

Former Secretary of State and current Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been under criminal investigation by the FBI for nearly a year. At this point, it's been reported Clinton hosted thousands of emails containing classified information on her private email server. Worse, at least 22-emails contain the most sensitive of all top secret information about human sources, putting lives at risk in addition to compromising U.S. national security.

Yesterday on The Intelligence Report, former House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa explained why FBI Direct James Comey has no choice but to refer Clinton for indictment. 

"The Director is somebody who cares a great deal about national security and with the body of evidence, he really has no choice but to refer this for indictment," Issa said. "We have communications back and forth to the President from Hillary Clinton's private email, we have 1300 sensitive documents, 22 classified at the highest level, this is well past anyone claiming that they didn't know." 

"In this case she made a choice. She made a choice to have a private server, she made a choice to use it with highly sensitive material, she made a choice to receive and re-transmit documents that should have been classified and have later been classified," he added. "These choices are what the prosecution will really be about." 

Currently, there are more than 150 FBI agents working on the Clinton case and the probe has expanded from the improper handling of classified information to public corruption surrounding the relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department.

Currently the Democrats have Hilary running against a confirmed progressive socialist.  What happens if Hilary ends up going to jail?  Would this nation elect a socialist?

And who do we have leading the Republicans?  Donald Trump...who just dropped the F bomb at a recent rally.  Nice!!

As we keep saying...rest in the fact that God already knows who our next President will be.

Let's Be Honest, Islam Has a Problem

I'm pretty sure I probably posted this vide not too long ago, but I just saw it again and it's so good I wanted to post it again in case anybody missed it.

Also, please post the video to your FaceBook or other social media to get as many folks to see it as possible.

It's a Sunni Muslim woman who is pointing out the facts of radical, militant Islam.  Obama is lying when he says 99.9% of Muslims want "the same things that you and I do."

Listening to President Obama and Hillary Clinton, one would think that Islamic extremists represent only a minority of Muslims, but the facts tell a different story.

Hillary Clinton will tell you that Muslims are peaceful people. President Obama will tell you that the majority of Muslims reject terror and desire peace.

Let’s be very clear that there are many Muslims who do seek peace, and who reject terror. We cannot generalize.

As for violent, extremist Islam? The numbers are going to shock you, because the truth is that Islam today does have a problem.

Learn what Muslims actually believe – based on scientific polls. The results are shocking.

Saudi Cleric Says USA Messing With Their Beef

Why would the USA want to put some fancy chemical in all the beef we export to Saudi Arabia?

Well, according to this popular Saudi Muslim cleric we do it so that their women give birth to less boys and more girls!

A prominent Saudi cleric told his followers that American burger chains serve tampered meat to Muslims that cause women to give birth mostly to girls.

Supposedly, this can end up hurting Muslim society since, according to this Sheikh, (the Americans) realize that “men are tantamount to future power, army, and hope.”

He also accused the U.S. of importing stale whiskey to Saudi Arabia.

This type of propaganda is commonplace in the Arab world. Unfortunately, a vast majority buy into it wholeheartedly without thinking twice.

Don’t miss this truly entertaining video! (DISCLAIMER: Burgers and fries do NOT lead to female offspring as advertised below!)

As it says above, this propaganda is common in the Arab world and their gullible sheep buy into it all!

You think we have much chance of bringing millions and millions of Arab Muslims into the 21st century in the next few years?  Think we have much chance of making these folks peace partners in the next few years?

Don't hold your breath on the peace train coming anytime soon....

American Jewish Leader Warns Jews Better Leave Now

Many of you probably saw our President Obama speak at an Islamic Mosque yesterday outside of Baltimore.  If you did, you maybe heard him close his talk by inserting Mohammad and Jesus into the same sentence and then suggesting that we all "trust" in the same god.

Holy deception!  Holy delusion!!

Jesus clearly told us that people are EITHER FOR HIM or AGAINST HIM.  Islam clearly is not believing or spreading the Gospel message, so CLEARLY it is against Him....it is an antichrist. Paul warned that many antichrists had already gone into the world to start spreading the lies about Jesus and try to squelch the Truth.

Islam is one of those lies the world is having to deal with today.....and our President just helped to confirm the lie.  Good job Obama!!

Some Jews in America can see the handwriting on the wall.  They know that the safest place for Jews to be on planet earth, based on what the see coming, is Israel.

“And I will be found of you, saith the LORD, and I will turn your captivity, and gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you back unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” (Jeremiah 29:14)

Lori Palatnik, a leader in the American Jewish community, has just released a video in which she calls for American Jews to move to Israel, in fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy about the ingathering of the exiles.  At the End of Days, Palatnik teaches, “Ultimately, the Jews are all going to move to Israel.”

Palatnik is a Jewish educator, author and speaker. In March 2015, Hadassah, the prestigious Jewish women’s organization, named her among the “Most Outstanding Jewish American Women of Our Time.”

The 3-minute video, first published on January 23, 2016, opens with a reference to 9/11 and “the scary prophets that talked about what happens at the End of Days.” In an interview with Breaking Israel News, Palatnik confirmed that she was referring to the Books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Zechariah. More specifically, she spoke about the events of September 11, 2001 as a clear fulfillment of prophecy.

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. (Joel 3:3)

Palatnik reflected on Biblical prophecy coming true in our lifetime. “After 9/11 was a huge wakeup call,” she told Breaking Israel News. “When they talk about pillars of smoke like date palms, it sounds like nuclear holocaust. When they were writing this, did anyone understand what they were talking about?”

And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zechariah 14:12)

Her warning to American Jews is controversial. Palatnik told Breaking Israel News that, although this is the first time she’s said it publicly, “I speak about this all the time in my community. I talk that way to the people around me. I say, ‘Don’t get fooled. This is coming down. This is happening.’”

Palatnik is referring to the dangers of increased anti-Semitism. “There’s been a build up. Anti-Semitism is worse than before the Holocaust. In Paris you can’t wear a kippah on the street. Is that what we’re waiting for?” she asked.

Clearly, Muslims don't like Jews and they despise Israel.  The fact that Barack Hussein Obama decided to broadcast his errant beliefs from the pulpit of a Mosque should give the Jews in the country pause.

But please remember, the Jews in in America LOVE America and many will never believe that America would turn on them.  But please remember, the Jews of Germany believed the exact same thing.

We believe the ultimate turn against the Jews in America will happen after the rapture.  Bible believing Christians filled with the Holy Spirit are Israel's most loyal defenders...and when they all disappear....things are going to get ugly fast.

Are We Actually Characters in a Digital Video Game?

The Bible tells us that what we are experiencing now isn't real, but that only the UNSEEN things are real.  This certainly would make sense from an eternal point of view.  Think about it....you are going to inhabit this flesh costume for 70-80 years and then spend trillions of years in another reality!  So which place is real?  This life or the place we are going when we vacate this flesh?

As scientists keep digging into the smallest parts of the atom they are realizing some very strange happenings.  It's called quantum physics....and the rules that govern quantum land are nothing like we can see or experience in our current reality.

Science has made huge recent advances in the field of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the scientific study of anything smaller than an atom. It is interested in the composition of sub- atomic matter, how matter behaves and how these really, really small pieces of matter interact with each other. In efforts to further and deepen scientific understanding, researchers have been on a quest to divide matter down to its absolute smallest component part.

It had been presumed that it was theoretically possible to sub-divide matter down almost into infinity, assuming the technology and scientific expertise were sophisticated enough to accomplish this task. This assumption has recently been proved wrong. Scientists working in the field of quantum mechanics have discovered that there is in fact a point that is reached where it becomes impossible to sub-divide matter further than a specific, absolutely tiny point of matter.

Once matter is divided to this infinitesimally small level it doesn’t get any smaller, matter at this point is as small as small can be! It is the ultimate original building block of absolutely everything else.

To reach this point is in itself is an astounding accomplishment. However what scientists have discovered because of this is staggering in its implications. When matter is broken down to its absolute smallest component part, to the amazement of scientists, it actually seems to lack locality.

Matter in this tiny state disappears and appears everywhere all at once. It lacks locality, a single location in space and time. Even more amazing is the evidence indicating that all these tiny parts of matter seem to know where every other component part of matter is, in the universe, all at the same time.

It also seems that each tiny piece of matter in the entire universe, when in this very smallest state, is being controlled and maintained on an individual basis by something else. The reason for this assumption is that matter when in this smallest of small states naturally acts in a fundamentally unstable and unpredictable way.

So unstable and unpredictable is this matter that the universe itself should not exist. Matter is that unstable. In fact, matter in this state repels all other matter. Without a force binding this matter together, a force which science does not yet know or understand or can yet detect, the universe would simply self-destruct. The universe should self-destruct, yet it doesn’t.

Matter in this state has a natural disposition to chaos but is somehow being kept in a state of perfect order, individually and piece by piece.

This and the fact that this matter lacks locality has led an increasing number of scientists to conclude that our universe is some form of highly sophisticated digital environment. In other words our universe is a digital simulation, a digital universe that is being actively maintained by some outside force, power or intelligence.

This conclusion has also led scientists to conclude that this therefore means that there must be another universe or dimension outside of our own known realm of existence and that our known universe makes up just a small part of some other, greater, much larger whole reality.

The Bible confirms that Jesus is the force that holds all things together!  Through Him all things were made!

I would encourage you to click on the link above and read the entire article as he gets into some very interesting observations regarding the CERN COLLIDER.  Scientist at CERN seem intent on trying to crack open a window into this 4th dimension to see what is actually there.  The Bible warns that this other dimension is a very dangerous place for humans.  It's a realm where good and bad angels are in a constant state of war.

The Bible also tells us that during the Great Tribulation demons will be let loose on planet earth and will torment the humans that are left behind.

"But Dennis, that's about the craziest bunch of gobbly-gook I have ever heard!  I think you have been watching too many X Files reruns."

Sadly, there are plenty of folks who are sitting in the pews of churches all over this world that have the same scoffing attitude.  They REFUSE to understand that the Bible is a supernatural book written outside our time zone!  They dismiss the reality that there is a war of angels happening all around us that we simply aren't capable of seeing.  And many refuse to believe that one day (hopefully soon) Jesus is going to crack into this video game and call all of the characters who trusted in Him up into the clouds.  We will be given new immortal flesh and only then will we understand how fleeting, temporary and unreal that this life lived as human beings actually was.

With that in mind....HOW THEN SHALL WE LIVE?

Damascus Is A Heap

Isaiah 17 tells us that Damascus will one day be destroyed.

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;

Today we read of another massive blast in Damascus and we look at the heaps of rubble that are all over the city.

BEIRUT/AMMAN — At least 60 people were killed, including 25 Shi'ite fighters, and dozens wounded on Sunday by a car bomb and two suicide bombers in a district of Damascus where Syria's holiest Shi'ite shrine is located, a monitor said.

Sunni fundamentalist Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, according to Amaq, a news agency that supports the group. It said two operations "hit the most important stronghold of Shi'ite militias in Damascus".

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the casualties were expected to rise from the suicide attacks in Sayeda Zeinaba, a district of southern Damascus where the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and other Iraqi and Iranian militias have a strong presence.

Rami Abdulrahman, head of the British-based Observatory, said the suicide bombers had targeted a military bus carrying Shi'ite militias who were changing guard there.

Iraqi and Iranian Shi'ite militia groups that have volunteered to fight Sunni Islamist radicals in Syria in a conflict that has heavy sectarian overtones often say they are coming to Syria to defend the shrine.

Rebels says the area is the first destination of thousands of Shi'ite militias drawn from Iran to Afghanistan alongside neighboring Iraq where they are based before heading to fight in battlefields across the country.

Certainly the entire city has not been made a heap yet....but many parts of it have.  Also the royal power of Damascus has not yet disappeared...but many nations are demanding that the ruler of Syria stand down. (Bashar al Asad)

Just maybe, this prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes?

"But Dennis, certainly this happened long ago because I believe that all prophecy in the Bible has already been fulfilled!"

Nope.  Damascus has been continually inhabited since Isaiah wrote this passage.  In fact, some historians tell us that it is the oldest, continually inhabited city on earth.

The East Knows The West is Bankrupt

Russia and China are well aware that The West is bankrupt as we continue to borrow and spend money that we don't have and create money out of thin air.

But The West also knows that China is teetering on massive bubble and Russia is also near bankruptcy as oil and energy prices tank and make their main cash cow export worth less and less.

The Bible talks about "mystery Babylon" and we believe this refers to the monetary system that the world currently uses.  Just like "Wall Street" refers to the system of stocks and bonds and not simply a street in New York...so does "Babylon" refer to the monetary system that the world worships.

One day the who "Babylon system" will be torn down and the merchants of the world will weep as they see the whole thing go up in flames.

What a tangled web the global geopolitical situation has become.  Geopolitics and finance have always been interrelated but recently much more so.  As many readers know, I have speculated we would be hit over the head with a “truth bomb” from the East and most likely from Mr. Putin himself.  Just this week Britain has alleged Mr. Putin personally ordered a “hit” on an ex KGB agent for calling him a pedophile.  Another story came out that Turkey shot down a NATO helicopter which made no press coverage at all in the West.  Also, Victoria Nuland recently travelled to Russia and was refused an audience by Mr. Putin.  This, after John Kerry had a meeting where he went into it saying “Assad must go” and came out saying Mr. Assad can stay …  Why all of this now?  I would simply say this reeks of desperation and also a VERY dangerous strategy to attack Mr. Putin personally.  I say “dangerous” because it raises the likelihood of a response from him.  Can you imagine the outrage were Russia to accuse president Obama or the Prime Minister Cameron of Britain for ordering the murder of someone who called them a pedophile?

Before going any further, I believe nearly ALL of what we are seeing is centered by and on the “petrodollar”.  Will it survive or be replaced?  In my opinion it is no longer “if”, but “when” and by “what” will it be replaced with?  Just over the last two weeks we have seen three very important yet interrelated events.

First, the sanctions against Iran in place over the last 35 years were lifted.  Along with this comes the ability for Iran to sell oil and they will now have access to up to $150 billion worth of assets and accounts previously frozen as reported by many credible non-government sources.

The day after, we saw 10 U.S. captured sailors on their knees as they were said to have “strayed” into Iranian water.  The official U.S. account has changed at least twice.  We heard “mechanical failure” at first, this is unlikely as there were reportedly two separate vessels.  If one had mechanical problems, the other could have tied off and either towed it or held it steady until help could arrive.  Then the story changed to “navigational” problems.  This one I believe …but not the official story they “strayed” into Iranian water.  Again, if it was just one boat, maybe their navigation system malfunctioned …at the same time their communications failed …MAYBE?  But both boats …at the same time lost their comm and navigation systems?  Probably a better chance one of these sailors winning the Powerball lottery two weeks in a row!  Speculation on my part, I believe the electronics were somehow hacked or blocked just as happened with the Donald Cook in the Black Sea in late 2014.

Just a couple of days ago, President Xi of China met with Iranian leaders one day and then the Saudis the following day.  We can only speculate what was discussed but surely oil was the centerpiece.  Naturally China wants to make and diversify oil supply deals from them both.  We have no proof but I believe it is a very good bet President Xi told the Saudis they would be expected to accept yuan for settlement instead of dollars.  There is no denying, the Chinese have done everything in their power to prepare for the dollar being dumped as the world’s reserve currency.  You can argue about timing, you cannot argue about “intent” as China/Russia have set up non Western clearing facilities similar to SWIFT but without any Western interference, trade deals, currency hubs, trading banks, and even gold and oil exchanges where the dollar will not be welcome.

It is not tough to tie all of this together.  I ask you this, what would the world look like the day following a “truth bomb” dropped by Mr. Putin and the Chinese.  Would Americans even notice if he documented several false flags or frauds embedded in U.S. finance such as outright monetization of U.S Treasuries?  No, most certainly not.  Americans would however notice if financial markets collapsed or were shut down.  Russia and China know full well the situation in the West.  It is a bankruptcy waiting to happen as everything is fractional reserve and running on maximum margin while the underlying system is shrinking and no longer supplying enough liquidity.  The way I see it, the stage is truly set for a financial attack on anything and everything American.  Is it implausible for the Saudis to announce they will sell oil in yuan to China?  Or Iran to withdraw their funds from U.S. institutions and then bid for gold with these funds?  If the East does in fact have jamming or hacking capability of Western technology, is it far fetched for them to show it very publicly in one or several situations?  How would the “bookies” react if they saw a prize fighter enter one of the later rounds with his hands tied behind his back?

You can laugh at the above speculation if you choose but it is all quite plausible and actually probable if you look at where things are and what posturing has already been done leading up to this.  Western markets, ALL markets are a fraud.  Our Treasury market is one where the biggest buyer is “our self” …the Fed and the ESF.  We have already seen $1 trillion of foreign reserves offloaded with no effect on yield nor the dollar itself and NO ACCOUNTING ANYWHERE as to “who” bought these offloaded central bank reserves.  Accounting fraud and no rule of law here, nothing to see …please move along!  You can laugh if you want and say Saudi Arabia will never move toward the East …  Saudi Arabia is now in very dire straits financially, who do you think they will side with when Western markets melt down?  Do you really believe they will go down trying to support our dollar?

The stage has already been set.  The East knows the West has bankrupted.  They know we have no gold left because they have it!  They can see the finances of the various cities, states and federal government.  They know the situation in derivatives is one giant mountain of dynamite waiting for a spark.  They know our rule of law is gone and bail ins of depositor funds is next.  We are monetizing their sales of Treasury securities.  “We” are fooling no one except ourselves.  And by “ourselves” I am talking about the vast majority of the population who have grown to rely on the government for everything.  Everyone knows we are broke, yet ask anyone and the odds highly favor you will hear “the government will never let it happen”.  Even if you are silly enough to believe this you must ask yourself, what are the ramifications when markets become “make believe”?

"The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."

Yep, and Satan has certainly made the world fall madly in love with money and material goods.

We don't know if the world's monetary system will collapse before or after Jesus comes for His bride (rapture)...but we do know that the current system will not stay in place.  It has to collapse so the Antichrist can come along and control the new one-world financial system.

This is most certainly why our Lord told us to lay up our REAL treasures in heaven...where moth and rust won't destroy them.  We will all need to discern what that means to each of us as we watch the world's bankers move $000's around on their laptops...pretending they are actually creating wealth.

Retail Apocalypse

Last week we were made aware that Walmart closed hundreds of stores across America.  Some say that was a long standing plan by Walmart to bankrupt all the local businesses with a new Walmart and then shut down the store, thereby consolidating costs and forcing Walmart shoppers to drive 20 miles to the next Walmart.

Others wonder if these store closings are the first small warnings of what will eventually become a "Retail Apocalypse"?

Major retailers in the United States are shutting down hundreds of stores, and shoppers are reporting alarmingly bare shelves in many retail locations that are still open all over the country.  It appears that the retail apocalypse that made so many headlines in 2015 has gone to an entirely new level as we enter 2016.  

As economic activity slows down and Internet retailers capture more of the market, brick and mortar retailers are cutting their losses.  This is especially true in areas that are on the lower portion of the income scale.  In impoverished urban centers all over the nation, it is not uncommon to find entire malls that have now been completely abandoned.  

It has been estimated that there is about a billion square feet of retail space sitting empty in this country, and this crisis is only going to get worse as the retail apocalypse accelerates.

We always get a wave of store closings after the holiday shopping season, but this year has been particularly active.  The following are just a few of the big retailers that have already made major announcements&

-Wal-Mart is closing 269 stores, including 154 inside the United States.

-K-Mart is closing down more than two dozen stores over the next several months.

-J.C. Penney will be permanently shutting down 47 more stores after closing a total of 40 stores in 2015.

-Macy s has decided that it needs to shutter 36 stores and lay off approximately 2,500 employees.

-The Gap is in the process of closing 175 stores in North America.

-Aeropostale is in the process of closing 84 stores all across America.

-Finish Line has announced that 150 stores will be shutting down over the next few years.

-Sears has shut down about 600 stores over the past year or so, but sales at the stores that remain open continue to fall precipitously.

But these store closings are only part of the story.

All over the country, shoppers are noticing bare shelves and alarmingly low inventory levels.  This is happening even at the largest and most prominent retailers.

A billion square feet of empty retail space??  That's a really big empty shrine dedicated to the American god of consumerism!!....and it's empty??

The fact is that America doesn't need a 20,000 square foot BED, BATH AND BEYOND every 5 miles across the entire country!  Now that we can actually order our towels and bedding ONLINE and have it delivered to our homes with no sales tax and free shipping.....how do you imagine that all these retail stores are going to continue paying the massive heat bills, electric bills, property taxes and maintenance costs that it takes to keep a store like that open?

For some years now, America's economy has been powered by the CONSUMER ENGINE.  The only reason our economy keeps chugging along is NOT because we we make things to ship all over the world (even though we do), it's not because we save money and loan it to the rest of world at interest, it's because we buy an ENORMOUS amount of crap!  Sadly, most American's can't afford all the crap that they want so they borrow the money at interest to enable them to buy it today!!

Of course when they borrow and buy that's like putting fuel on our CONSUMER ENGINE.

"But Dennis, what would happen if the consumer engine were to sputter, gasp, heave and ultimately collapse?"

What do you THINK would happen if the main engine to our economy stopped?

What do you THINK would happen if the Federal Gov't couldn't find any other nations or businesses to loan them one thousand billion dollars every year to support their massive deficit spending plans?

What happens to YOUR personal finances if you suddenly lost your job and at the same time had your VISA cards cancelled and your furnace and car both needed major repairs?

"Yeah, but Dennis, the Federal Government can ALWAYS just print/create more money!  Enough so they can do, buy or pay for anything they need!"

Really?  Do you honestly believe that?  If so, someone needs to point out how delusional that belief really is.

It's impossible to borrow enough money in hopes that one day you will be wealthy.

Islamist Disease

Islam has a disease.

From a spiritual point of view we know the Satanic lies written into Islam 700 years after Christ had ascended into heaven IS NOT leading it's adherents to eternal salvation found ONLY through Christ.

And from a worldly order we can look around the globe and see that millions and millions of Muslims have caught the radical strain of the Islamic lies and actually are willing to commit violence in the name of their god, Allah.

This article was in the Wall Street Journal last week so is being widely read.  I found it published on another site since most of my readers probably don't have access to the Wall Street Journal Online.

It seems to be written by a Muslim who is acknowledging that Islam has an Islamic disease of violence.

Remember last week when we learned of the 15 year old boy in Pakistan who cut his own hand off after he accidentally raised it during a sermon?  This article plays off that event.

The story of Anwar Ali, the Pakistani boy who severed his own hand earlier this month, underscores the deep, dangerous and often overlooked threat posed by radical Islam—its assault on the mind.

It is gut-wrenching that a 15-year-old boy, who raised his hand at evening prayers after the local imam asked who among them did not love the Prophet Muhammad—mistakenly thinking that the cleric had asked who did love the prophet—would cut off his own hand to prove his faith to the imam, who had accused him of blasphemy after the incident.

What’s even more troubling is that, even as attempts were made to arrest the cleric, many in Khanqah, the eastern Punjab village where the spectacle occurred, defended both the imam and the boy’s actions, praising his devotion to God.

On so many levels, this story is illustrative of the disease spreading within Islam. There is no prescribed punishment for blasphemy in the Quran and no legitimate Islamic school of thought could conceivably find that self-inflicted amputation is warranted for an accidental gesture like Anwar’s. Yet the well-financed machine of radical Islam has successfully propagandized the people, like those in Khanqah, to the point where something as sad as Anwar’s actions are considered not just acceptable but also praiseworthy, even righteous. It is the result of a singular and supremacist view of Islam that stands in diametric opposition to justice in contemporary civil society, and indeed Islamic faith itself.

In the premodern Muslim world, before today’s nation-states and modern governments, harsh punishments combined with stiff burdens of proof were used to deter crime. Even as the region tried to transition to modern government after World War I, these practices—severe punishment but low rates of conviction—held somewhat.

Yet in the years since, dictators and Islamists alike have been keen on keeping these premodern punishments, only without the high evidentiary standards. Pakistan, for example, had just 14 reported cases of blasphemy before 1986. Since then, nearly 1,300 people have been charged with the crime, according to an investigation by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn.

In the 1980s Pakistani President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, who had risen through a coup, saw an opportunity to consolidate his power by aligning with radical Islamists to bolster blasphemy laws and silence minority opposition. His blasphemy ordinances became a conduit for settling political and personal scores. The laws also further legitimized the supremacist attitudes of radical Islamists. It is a tragic example of political maneuvering under the guise of religious duty—capitalizing on extremist ideologies that have grown stronger.

Treating this as a problem with all Muslims and all of Islam is not helpful or accurate. But neither is denying that this has anything to do with Islam. There is a problem, not with, but within Islam. There is more to this than the war in Syria, the rise of Islamic State, and self-radicalized terrorist attacks in the West.

This is not just about repressive regimes and foreign-policy miscues that have helped this radicalism spread. This goes beyond the misogyny that says it’s acceptable to abuse women and the medieval customs that endorse a boy’s decision to sever his hand. This is an assault on diversity of thought and free thinking.

There is not an obvious military solution to deal with the instability and violence in the Middle East and North Africa, nor is it clear (even if we were successful in finding one) what the subsequent political resolution would be—the Arab uprisings have taught us as much. But we can all agree that radical Islam is a menace that is claiming not just lives, but hearts and minds too.

If we are fighting terrorism on all fronts then shouldn’t we be tackling the underlying ideology instead of casting this as something completely devoid of religion?

U.S. policy makers ought to put greater pressure on foreign governments, including longtime allies Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, to stop the funding and exporting of radicalism. And contrary to what some presidential candidates are saying, it is crucial that Washington and the West work with Muslim communities at home and abroad not against them.

Because if this horrifying extremism that continues to claim innocent life and limb is to be defeated, it will require Muslims, who have watched radicalism soil their faith and define its image, to lead the fight.

As we have already said we believe Islam is the problem.  And while this author says Islam isn't the problem, at least he is admitting that the problem is within Islam.

That's a start!  The world HAS to be able to talk about the problems within Islam without other folks screaming "Islamaphobia!!" at anyone who dares to broach the topic.

It may have already happened, but I wonder if the Muslims who have the "disease" have already issued a death threat against this Muslim author?

Sadly, what the world is witnessing within Islam is the result of playing with the devil.

Jesus told us very clearly;
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."

Since Islam is NOT WITH JESUS then, by default, it has already played into the hands of the Evil One.  What the world is witnessing as Muslims continue to kill, maim and murder each other by the thousands is the fruit that is borne when playing with fire.

Trump As President Would Be a Disaster for America

Many of you are familiar with author Joel Rosenberg.  I am currently reading his book THE THIRD TARGET and would already give it a thumbs up.  It's a real page turner and, as always, the fictional events and characters in this book seem to be ripped right from today's actual headlines.

Rosenberg also writes to a blog.  In a recent post he listed why Donald Trump as President would be a disaster for America.

(Washington, D.C.) — The voting starts Monday, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Two out of three Americans know we are on the wrong track, going in the wrong direction. We are heading steadily towards implosion. We’ve murdered some 58 million babies. We have five Justices on the Supreme Court who have decided that the Bible is wrong and they know better than God how to define marriage. We have taken on $18 trillion in debt and there’s no end in sight. We are surrendering to Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and ISIS. Our tax code is corruptingly complex and killing jobs and opportunity. We can’t — or won’t — control our sovereign borders. Our schools are a mess. Violence, drugs and pornography are epidemic. The list goes on and on.

Americans are hurting, frustrated, and many are angry. The question is: Who can get us turned around and heading in the right direction? Can anyone?

As I wrote on this blog last August, I’ve been praying about this and studying the Scriptures for many months, asking the Lord for clarity, and here is what I have concluded — America needs a Josiah. A President cannot save America from all our troubles, but leadership matters. Above all, we need a sweeping spiritual revival throughout the Church, based on the principles found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. We need a Great Awakening among those who don’t know Christ personally. We need God to wake up a lost nation from their spiritual slumber to earnestly seek the Lord for individual and national forgiveness and restoration. I’m praying for such sovereign moves of God.

At the same time, I’m praying God raises up a President like Josiah, the one-time King of Judah whom the Bible describes as one of the most humble, strong, wise and impressive leaders of all-time. Obviously, we don’t want a theocracy. So I don’t literally mean America needs a king. And I’m not saying America needs a Pastor-in-Chief or a Theologian-In-Chief. We’re not looking for someone perfect. That will have to await the Second Coming. But before you vote, I strongly encourage you to read the Biblical accounts of Josiah. I believe you will find qualities in his life, his faith, his leadership and his passion for and commitment to making bold, sweeping, transformational change that are benchmarks of the kind of leader we need right now.

Will the Lord have mercy on our nation and raise up a Josiah? I honestly don’t know. We don’t deserve one. The Lord would be justified in turning us over to those who are corrupt and/or those who could lead us to tyranny. That said, I do see several possible candidates who — even with their weaknesses and flaws — could emerge as such a leader, especially with much prayer and wise counselors around them. They include (in alphabetical order) Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum. In a previous column, I described them as the “Final Four” that I was watching closely. Will one of them emerge over the next few weeks as the leading candidate in the presidential race? We will see.

That said, I have to be honest with my readers that there is one candidate on the Republican side who is definitely not a Josiah. Donald J. Trump is currently the national front-runner in the GOP, and is leading the pack in Iowa. But he would be a catastrophe for America should he be elected President.

Mr. Trump is trying to convince the GOP and the country that he is a deeply committed conservative. But all the evidence says he has been a liberal all of his adult life. Even if he has recently changed his views, all we have is his word. There is very little fruit in his life that would indicate that he has had a true change of heart on matters of faith or policy. Indeed, he has said openly that he does not need to repent or ask God for forgiveness.

It would be a mistake to entrust the entire pro-life, pro-marriage movement to a man who has blown up two marriages of his own, boasts of his infidelities, runs gambling an strip clubs, has supported abortion on demand and Planned Parenthood for decades, and talks of appointing his own pro-choice sister to the Supreme Court. It would be a disaster to entrust the economy to a man who has proposed both the biggest tax cut in history (with no plan to pay for it) and the biggest tax increase in history. Further, it would be a catastrophe to entrust the security of our nation and our allies to a man who has no foreign policy and national security experience, who clearly doesn’t understand the threat of Radical and Apocalyptic Islam, and who says he gets his military advice from watching Sunday TV talk show.

In some ways, Mr. Trump reminds me of the Biblical figure, Sampson — blind and ready to bring the house down. But perhaps the analogy to Saul, Israel’s first king, is more apt. Read the account in I Samuel chapter eight through fifteen. The people demanded that the Hebrew prophet Samuel “appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” (I Samuel 8:5) The rebellious people didn’t want God to lead them. They wanted a king of their own choosing, someone that would make Israel seem like all the pagan nations around them, someone to “go out before us and fight our battles.” (I Samuel 8:20). In short order, the people made a man named Saul their king. They didn’t study his character or his track record or his statements or his views on how to lead them. They chose “a choice and handsome man” who was “taller than any of the people” and was the son of a “mighty man of valor.” (I Samuel 9:1-2). Why? Because Saul looked the part.

Samuel, the Hebrew prophet, was horrified. But in the end, the Lord said, “Listen to the voice of the people…for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.” (I Samuel 8:7) The Lord then explained how much this foolish decision would cost His people, but He let them make their choice anyway. And it did not go well.

Is this where America is heading?

I realize some — maybe many — of my readers will be angry at what I’m writing. But I have to be honest with my readers about the enormous threat Mr. Trump poses to all that we hold dear. His arrogance, narcissism, greed and lack of respect for women, minorities, and anyone who disagrees with him disqualifies him to be President of the United States. I do pray for Mr. Trump that he will either truly come to personal relationship with Christ through repentance and faith, or — if he has already made that decision — will humbly seek discipleship and grow in his new faith. But even if he’s a new convert, he is not ready to be president.

Thus, I am deeply concerned that so many professed Evangelical Christians are supporting Mr. Trump. Perhaps they haven’t looked carefully at his life, his statements, his record, his leadership, his allies, and his flip-flops.

I have to admit that when Trump first came out and started talking, I had to smile and admit that he sounded right about some things...but his prideful arrogance quickly turned me off to any belief that this man would be a positive leader capable of leading this nation back to THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

I rest in the knowledge that God already knows who the next leader of our country will be...and undoubtedly God will allow us to elect the leader that we deserve.

Let's continue to pray for America's current leaders and our future leaders and if any of my readers are leaning towards supporting Donald Trump for President, maybe the wisdom and prophetic voice of Joel Rosenberg will help you reconsider.
