size="4"&gt;Have you considered what the United States might be going through in five, ten, or twenty years if we, our leaders and media, continue to deny, ignore, or fabricate the truth of Islam, its history, its motives and methods?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Assuming that the Islamophobes are correct and Islam is NOT a “religion of peace” and is in fact out to dominate infidel nations (as they have done to massive extents at least twice since Muhammad terrorized the region around Mecca and Medina), how might that affect you, your kids and grandkids, our government, our freedoms, our culture and our way of life?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Diana West’s latest book, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/American-Betrayal-Assault-Nations-Character/dp/0312630786" target="_blank"&gt;American Betrayal&lt;/a&gt;, amply demonstrates how our government ignored and lied about Communist influence in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s in the same way our current government is ignoring and lying about Islamic influence and intentions today.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;The Three Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Recognizing the reality of government deception, whatever the motive, let’s take a look at several scenarios and outcomes of those scenarios with regard to Islam:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scenario One:&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Denial of Reality of Islam.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; This is the path we are on today.&amp;#160; This scenario assumes a continuation on this path.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Faux assimilation&amp;#160; is promoted by our government and media facilitated by ignoring and lying about the truth of Islam, believing it is as benign as any other religion when in fact it is a fascist, supremacist and violent ideology at its core and from its inception.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; We continue to blindly and blithely accept the deception of Muslim operatives convincing us that they are here to bestow peace and goodwill , pretending that Muslims from third world Islamic nations will assimilate, Americanize and westernize.&amp;#160; We continue to self-deceive.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scenario Two:&amp;#160; “Gradual Dawning.”&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; This scenario involves a gradual dawning, over the next decade or so, upon our leaders and media that Islam is primarily a political ideology and not in our nation’s best interest, and that some Muslims who we consider “moderate” may have seditious purposes.&amp;#160; Awareness evolves slowly over a period of years, with immigration policies, political and academic appointments and other Muslim-enabling policies gradually changing. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scenario Three:&amp;#160; “Abrupt Awakening.”&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; This scenario involves a more immediate collective realization that Islam is a fascist, seditious political ideology that must be dealt with in a manner similar to our actions toward the Japanese-Americans immediately following the bombing of Pearl Harbor.&amp;#160; However politically incorrect we believe that to be today was thought to be prudent to save our nation back then.&amp;#160; A cataclysmic event that is clearly the work of Muslims in the name of Islam would be the most likely catalyst.&amp;#160; Why 9-11 wasn’t that catalyst remains a mystery to me.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;Likely Outcomes of the Three Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Now let’s take a look at each of these scenarios, speculating their impact on our nation, culture, and freedoms in five, ten, and twenty years hence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scenario One:&amp;#160; Denial of Reality of Islam.&amp;#160; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;In the short term, our leaders and media continue to pander to Muslim sensitivities and blame outbreaks of violence and acts of terror on everything BUT Islamic ideology.&amp;#160; We continue to support Muslim Middle East nations with our petro dollars.&amp;#160; Our colleges and universities continue to accept hundreds of millions 0f dollars from Islamic nations, e.g. Saudi Arabia and others, for Middle East Studies programs which in reality are Islamic indoctrination, training, and infiltration programs.&amp;#160; The media and churches continue to defend Islam as a religion of peace and become more aggressive in condemning those who speak the truth of Islam and its seditious, fascist ideology in a manner similar to the defamation of Joe McCarthy in the 50’s.&amp;#160; This condemnation is promoted by the massive infiltration of Islamic operatives and useful idiots (Imams, Muslim government appointees, and liberal non-Muslim apologists) already in place in government, media, and academic positions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Over the next five to ten years there will be a gradual change in our legal system via new laws and court cases facilitating or incorporating Sharia (the set of barbaric Islamic laws prevalent in the Middle East).&amp;#160; These will occur first in areas of highest Muslim concentration such as Dearborn, MI, and Nashville, TN, and will extend to a dozen or more liberal states.&amp;#160; Opposition to these laws will be increasingly viewed as “intolerant” and hateful.&amp;#160; Islam will continue to be viewed as just another religion worthy of protection under the first amendment.&amp;#160; Christian Churches and liberal Synagogues will begin to incorporate elements of Islamic doctrine into their sermons and &lt;a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/texas-mega-church-welcomes-islamists-to-global-faith-forum/" target="_blank"&gt;activities as an outreach to accommodate Muslim sensitivities&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; Muslims and their liberal non-Muslim promoters will propose laws that prohibit expressing anything that is offensive about another religion.&amp;#160; Verbiage and enforcement will of course be skewed toward prosecution of those who speak the truth about Islam.&amp;#160; As in civil rights legislation, the minority Muslims will be given a pass, free to discriminate and speak against Jews and Christians, while majority Jews and Christians&amp;#160; are required to remain silent with regard to Islam.&amp;#160; There will be dozens of “no-go zones” throughout the nation where law enforcement will avoid either by pre-arrangement or fear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Beyond 10 to 20 years, due to continuing lax immigration and border security policies and an especially high Muslim birth rate, Muslim populations will reach critical mass in dozens of urban centers of the nation (critical mass being 20% or more of the populations of congressional districts, for example; this is already exceeded in several parts of the country) where they will become a significant political force.&amp;#160; Just as significant, such concentrations will become a potent &lt;em&gt;physical and psychological intimidation&lt;/em&gt; force.&amp;#160; Opposition will be silenced through increases in violence and acts of terror, demonstrations, and legal intimidation.&amp;#160; Free speech will have dire consequences and will become a relic of the past.&amp;#160; Civil unrest and confrontation will begin to be initiated by both sides throughout the nation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The United States will be a reflection of today’s London, Belgium, Sweden, and France in terms of Muslim populations and influence.&amp;#160; See &lt;a href="http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/world/stockholm-riots-unusually-fearsome-feel-immigrant-indians/article4739371.ece" target="_blank"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3442/belgium-islamic-state" target="_blank"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; for consequences of unchecked failures to assimilate third world and Muslim immigrants.&amp;#160; And the media inexplicably ignore the cause and effect.&amp;#160; Violent Muslim ideology will spread rapidly among ignorant non-Muslim third world immigrants.&amp;#160; The trend will be irreversible short of violent upheaval and drastic measures that today are unthinkable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scenario Two: “Gradual Dawning.”&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This is the path that may result from the truth gradually getting through to government officials and the media from such expert informed sources as Robert Spencer, Tom Trento, Eric Stakelbeck, Andrew Bostom, Bat Ye’or, Andrew McCarthy and others.&amp;#160; This scenario will merely slow the process noted in Scenario One.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;As officials and the populace increase their awareness, congressional hearings will be called that span years.&amp;#160; Expert witnesses from both sides will be called and testify, provoking Muslims to the streets as hypersensitivities are triggered.&amp;#160; All the while illegal immigration may be slowed but will continue.&amp;#160; The dawn of truth brightens slowly – the gears of government grind even slower.&amp;#160; It may take decades to expunge ill-intentioned Muslims from academia, the media, the military, and government, if it occurs at all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The degree to which Scenario One is reversible through the “gradual dawning” process depends on the speed of realization of the problem, the sense of urgency promoted by that realization, and our resolve against the likely mean spirited and violent pushback inevitable from the several million Muslims and their liberal sympathizers in the US who’s seditious plans are felt to be threatened.&amp;#160; And this doesn’t include the increase in extreme “workplace violence” that is likely to occur against our embassies and other interests overseas.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scenario Three: “Abrupt Awakening.”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;“Abrupt Awakening” is the “best case”, most fearsome, and least likely of the three scenarios.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;It is the best case because it involves the truth being known, understood, and acted upon relatively quickly by our leaders, the media and our general population.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; This scenario puts an end to our self-deception and lies about Islam, and ultimately protects our nation against transformation into a barbaric third world fascist state.&amp;#160; It takes intolerance of evil to protect the tolerance of good. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This scenario is fearsome because it is most likely triggered by a violent event that overshadows 9-11 many times over.&amp;#160; It is fearsome because it will provoke an increase in violence by domestic Islamic terrorists as well as overseas terror attacks.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This scenarios is the least likely because it will require testing our freedoms by distinguishing between a so-called “religion”, Islam, and a seditious, supremacist, violent, fascist political ideology, Islam.&amp;#160; This scenario comes down on the side of admitting that Islam is a seditious, supremacist, violent, fascist political ideology and taking steps necessary to minimize its damage to our nation.&amp;#160; It recognizes that our nation has been infiltrated by those who are actively involved in transforming us beyond the “hope and change” sought by our Islam-inspired president. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The “abrupt awakening” will see immediate expulsion of thousands (not all) Muslims who we will come to realize were teaching, training, funding, and motivating seditious or terror acts against our nation.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; It will involve holding thousands of others in secure locations until we can agree what to do with them after we achieve a realistic understanding of what we are up against and feel more secure.&amp;#160; Rioting against authority will break out within dozens of Muslim enclaves around the nation.&amp;#160; National Guard and regular military will be called upon to defend our cities and suburbs against the backlash that is sure to ensue.&amp;#160; These events will overshadow the domestic military involvement that was required during the civil unrest of the late 60’s.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;These actions will be condemned by both liberals and libertarians as excessive government force and control.&amp;#160; Many will take the side of the Islamic terrorists.&amp;#160; Obama is one.&amp;#160; As Obama said, and I paraphrase, but this is the essence of what he said&lt;a href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/2010/01/beware-bias-of-internet-truth-sites.html" target="_blank"&gt;, “when the SHTF I will come down on the side of the Muslim immigrants”&lt;/a&gt;, as will many other ignorant liberals.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Again, this is the least likely scenario.&amp;#160; Given the momentum of public thinking today, the effective deceptive practices of Muslim promoters and the infiltration and ignorance of our leadership and churches, Scenario One, the Faux Assimilation of Muslims, is the most likely course of this nation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/aOxJnAyacjc" height="1"

type="html">Benghazi-gate, IRS-intimid-gate, and pandering to a hostile ideology (Islam) for profit and power are just some of the current federal scandals. &amp;nbsp;Yes, the Obama administration does finally appear to be unravelling - but don't hold your breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Anyone who is following the moral decline of this nation cannot help but conclude that simply exposing scandals will not correct or prevent them. &amp;nbsp;In fact I have no doubt that while the news cycle and public awareness are focused on these events, there are another dozen equal or worse scandals in the works. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, the "see no Islam" in Islamic terror attacks and violent jihad in mainstream Islamic ideology remain an undiagnosed cancer in our federal goverment and most media.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Why is this happening now? &amp;nbsp; Yes, we are a self-absorbed society. The time the average American spends in front of the TV watching mind numbing programming, mostly immoral trash, the time spent absorbed in sports or devoted to trivial social networking leaves little time for for mind-building, community-building, or knowing when yor government and elected officials are screwing you over with with scandal and deception.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
While we all can share some responsibility in reaching this dismal state, I lay much of the blame on the "feel good" churches of our nation. &amp;nbsp;When most churches value self-esteem over abstaining from sin, or even acknowleding that there ia such a thing as sin anymore, it is no surprise we get what we got: &amp;nbsp;An amoral society that believes tolerance of everything BUT morality is the highest value.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
From the time I first became a Christian I was suspucious of the "once saved, always saved" belief held by so many conservative Christians. &amp;nbsp;This so easily leads to a self-serving presumtuousness that too easily excuses repetitive sinning: &amp;nbsp;The freedom to sin without consequence. &amp;nbsp;And then there is the liberal version of salvation - universalism - where God is so sweet and sugary and loving that no one will really be punished for anything. &amp;nbsp;All will be saved and go to heaven because Christ paid it all.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
And then we have the Catholics whose doctrine proclaims that ignorance of sin gives a free pass to heaven. &amp;nbsp;This is moral relativism at it's most aggregious. &amp;nbsp;And this one is REALLY special: &amp;nbsp;Since Muslims worship the same God (this is an exceedingly ill-informed undwrstanding of Islam), then Muslims are first in line among all who are ignorant of Christ to be saved. &amp;nbsp;Yes, this is Catholic doctrine. &amp;nbsp;Google "Gentium Lumen, Section 16" and read it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
So, is it any wonder why we are in such moral decline in this nation? &amp;nbsp;The one institution , our churches, and the one group of leaders, our pastors and priests, are out to lunch. &amp;nbsp;And those few who are in major denominations who know better and wish to speak up are suppressed by their liberal denominations. &amp;nbsp;There are a very few independent pastors who are a voice crying in the wilderness. &amp;nbsp;For these I praise God.&lt;/div&gt;

Well, this for starters.&amp;#160; Despite your WORTHLESS declaration that “…it is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator…” you will NEVER figure it out as long as you insist on denying and covering up the truth.&amp;#160; You, Hillary, along with your peach of a husband, have glaring character flaws.&amp;#160; Lying is one of them.&amp;#160; Two freakin’ peas in a pod.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The truth DOES make a difference – which up to now, is missing from your lying, deceitful lips.&amp;#160; What difference does it make?&amp;#160; Without the truth, the problem will escape notice.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; In addition to YOU being part of the problem, the problem is identifying our friends and distinguishing them from our enemies.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Your insistence on denying who the enemy is will only invite further murders at the hands of an arch enemy that you and other Pollyanish fools continue to declare is not Islam.&amp;#160; Is the oil money so important to you that you are willing to sacrifice American lives and the nation itself?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We have met the enemy and he is broadband video?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;“But this is hard stuff,” President Obama tried to explain in this week’s press conference. “Because of the pressure that we put on al-Qaida’s core, because of the pressure that we’ve put on these networks that are well-financed and more sophisticated and can engage in and project transnational threats against the United States, one of the dangers that we now face are self-radicalized individuals who are already here in the United States – in some cases, may not be part of any kind of network, but because of whatever warped, twisted ideas they may have, may decide to carry out an attack. And those are in some ways more difficult to prevent.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;More difficult to prevent? Ridiculous. But this is also a disgraceful thing to say under these circumstances. What Obama describes is the Keystone-Cops-case because he decided, as a matter of “Muslim outreach,” to shut his eyes to the motivation of such attacks – Islam, jihad, Allah’s law (Shariah) – and ordered our security agencies and military to shut their eyes, too.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;It is a fact that in concert with the Oct. 19, 2011, demands of an array of Islamic advocacy groups, including government-identified Muslim Brotherhood front groups (the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America, for example), the Obama administration subsequently ordered the “purge” of any training materials and trainers still teaching the history and doctrine of jihad at government security agencies and throughout the military. This unconscionable act of eliminating our first line of defense – in effect, shutting down national security’s eyes and ears, and, worse, logic itself – is what accounts for the successful cycle of jihad that marks our era of decline. To be fair, it is not all Obama’s fault. The current administration’s see-no-Islam policy is an extension and amplification of the see-no-Islam policy initiated by President George W. Bush.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;When a handful of House Republicans led by Michele Bachmann of Minnesota last summer raised the see-no-Islam “purge” and related issues with justified alarm, these remnant patriots in Congress were crucified as “Islamophobes” and scorned as lunatics. And now? No one in that Bachmann lynch mob (Obama administration, media and, profiles in courage, GOP leadership) wants us to put things together now. They don’t want us to realize that those two vicious bombs that exploded in Boston last month might well have been prevented had Bachmann &amp;amp; Co.’s warnings been heeded.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;How? On government order, the FBI doesn’t know – can’t know – that it is actually fighting Islamic jihad and Shariah subversion. The kind of review Bachmann hoped for could possibly have saved fact-based analysis at the FBI and related agencies. To grasp the stupefying impact of the see-no-Islam status quo, imagine the FBI of the Cold War era officially denying and suppressing the role Marxism played in animating subversives. No communist espionage rings would ever have been stopped.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;Such blindness is the official rule today. An examination of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Analytical Lexicon, which was published in 2008 at the end of the Bush administration, shows that the words “Islam,” “Muslim,” “jihad,” “Muslim Brotherhood,” even “al-Qaida” – all of which appear in the 9/11 Commission Report – have disappeared entirely from the lexicon of FBI analysis. Instead, agents must focus on the literally meaningless concept of “violent extremism.” As if that’s not mentally paralyzing enough, the FBI definition of violent extremism includes this: “An analytical judgment that an individual is a ‘violent extremist,’ ‘extremist,’ or ‘radical’ is not predication for any investigative action or technique.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;Another way to view such a security shambles is to say, as the president did, that the FBI performed well in the run-up to Boston 4/15. “The FBI investigated that older brother,” he said. “It’s not as if the FBI did nothing. They not only investigated the older brother, they interviewed the older brother. They concluded that there were no signs that he was engaging in extremist activity.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;This makes perfect sense – in the government’s see-no-Islam world. FBI agents, operating by the book, might well have tagged Tamerlan Tsarnaev a “violent extremist,” and then, also operating by the book, done nothing. Ka-boom. Having de-Islamized counterterrorism techniques, Obama could then say: “Based on what I’ve seen so far, the FBI performed its duties, the Department of Homeland Security did what it was supposed to be doing.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4" face="Century Gothic"&gt;According to U.S. government’s see-no-Islam policy, Obama is correct. In fact, for meritorious achievement leading up to the Boston bombing, special commendations for all U.S. security personnel up to and including Cabinet secretaries from Justice, Homeland Security and the Pentagon are in order. The Obama team effort may not have stopped terrorism, but it sure made Islam disappear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/uFbVYdMcCZk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/feeds/7665377938125882655/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12010572&amp;postID=7665377938125882655" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/7665377938125882655?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/7665377938125882655?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Muccings/~3/uFbVYdMcCZk/obama-this-is-hard-stuff-probably.html" title="Obama:  “This is hard stuff”.

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;I searched the term “Islam” in one of the official LDS websites called &lt;a href="http://www.mormonchannel.org/" target="_blank"&gt;The Mormon Channel&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; Up popped a presentation called “Understanding Islam.”&amp;#160; The presentation is given by Dr. Daniel Peterson, Professor of Islamic Studies and Arabic at Brigham Young University.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mormonchannel.org/insights/1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;HERE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; it is.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;As I listened to the interview my jaw dropped.&amp;#160; Here is some of the ignorant misleading, disingenuous, Islam-apologist academic tripe provided by this Mormon professor:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;General gushing over the life of Muhammad and the Islamic “religion”, generally.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Total silence on Muhammad’s conquests, immorality, and the continuing supremacism. and terror promoted by Islam throughout history and today.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Emphasis that Islam is a respectable sister religion to Christianity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Fascination that Islam has many similarities to Mormonism with regard to its new revelation, post Biblical “sacred” scripture, and a prophet, Muhammad, similar to the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith.&amp;#160; “Echos of the Joseph Smith story…like Judaism and Christianity before.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Claim that Muslims and Christians worship the same God.&amp;#160; He believes that Muslims merely apply the word differently.&amp;#160; He ignores the Islamic distinctions in the characteristics of their “Allah.”&amp;#160; He reminded us that the book of Mormon uses the word Allah throughout.&amp;#160; He obfuscates the distinction of Islam’s use of the word “Allah” vs. the use of the word by Middle East Christians.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This blindness to the evil of Islam and equating that ideology to many of the characteristics of Mormonism is an adequate reason for me to question the legitimacy of the Mormon faith and the honesty of their leadership in addressing the Islamic problem.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There would be no lack of options for effectively dealing with that ideology.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;We have a similar situation with Islam: A Manson-esque person from 600 AD, (Muhammad) who people follow religiously even today.&amp;#160; He did similar things as Manson had done except on a much grander scale.&amp;#160; There are leader/followers of the Manson-esque Muhammad today who promote the same Manson ideology, except on a much grander scale.&amp;#160; These are called Immans and other Muslim leaders.&amp;#160; So, yes, if we had people who called themselves followers of the Manson ideology, we wouldn't hesitate to &amp;quot;wage war&amp;quot; on them.&amp;#160; We would quickly find a way.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The million dollar question is why we fail to find a way to deal with the Muhammadan ideology which mirrors Manson but on a much grander scale.&amp;#160; Oh, but Islam is a &amp;quot;religion&amp;quot; you say.&amp;#160; To Manson and his followers, his ideology, too, was a &amp;quot;religion.&amp;quot;&amp;#160; Islam is the same kind of &amp;quot;religion&amp;quot;, but on a much grander scale and practices deceit on a much grander scale as well.&amp;#160; Many of the most devout are so skilled at deceit that they make Manson look like a Boy Scout.&amp;#160; Deal with the Islamic ideology for what it is:&amp;#160; A Manson-esque ideology with a flair for deceit.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/zAGQhNm_RBc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/feeds/3266052646944753519/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12010572&amp;postID=3266052646944753519" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/3266052646944753519?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/3266052646944753519?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Muccings/~3/zAGQhNm_RBc/how-do-we-wage-war-on-ideology-first.html" title="How do we wage war on an ideology?

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Whether the bombers are caught or killed, the attack has to be classified as a success on the order close to 9-11.&amp;#160; We had a major security failure.&amp;#160; And we have not yet learned our lessons.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The lessons not yet learned are the facts of the Islamic ideology that our nation’s leaders and media refuse to accept.&amp;#160; Our security measures are operating on the wrong set of assumptions.&amp;#160;

It is not.&amp;#160; It is much more similar to a seditious political movement at war with us.&amp;#160; Its mastery of deceit and misdirection is epic.&amp;#160; Its ability to seamlessly blend into our culture is pure art as evidenced by the words of several friends and relatives of the bombers who were clueless:&amp;#160; “He was such a nice guy – he gave no indication he would do anything like this” is all they knew to say.&amp;#160; We fail to understand that practicing Islamists make the most two-faced person we know seem like an amateur.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;A few devout Muslims with a little bit of training cost us lives, limbs, and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of catch-up law enforcement efforts.&amp;#160; And this doesn’t include the billions of dollars devoted to the misdirected national security effort that is aimed at law abiding Americans and insane “nation building” efforts overseas.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The answer to “how” is staring them in the face if it were not for the lying propaganda and deception the media’s Islamist lobbyists and faux buddies are smothering them with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The answer:&amp;#160; Islam is all about radicalization.&amp;#160; Again, Islam is all about radicalization.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;And despite what the so-called “experts” on FOX News and other clueless media are saying, it has NOTHING to do with Chechnya.&amp;#160; It has everything to do with Islam.&amp;#160; Chechnya just happens to be one among dozens of predominantly Islamic nations around the world:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam"&gt;Islam&lt;/a&gt; is the predominant religion in Chechnya. Chechens are overwhelmingly adherents to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunnite"&gt;Sunni&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam"&gt;Islam&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya#cite_note-39"&gt;[39]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; the country having converted to Islam between the 16th and the 19th centuries. Due to historical importance, many Chechens are Sufis, of either the Qadiri or Naqshbandi orders. Most of the population follows either the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shafi%27i"&gt;Shafi'i&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafi"&gt;Hanafi&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya#cite_note-40"&gt;[40]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maliki"&gt;Maliki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya#cite_note-41"&gt;[41]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; schools of jurisprudence, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiqh"&gt;fiqh&lt;/a&gt;. The Shafi'i school of jurisprudence has a long tradition among the Chechens,&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya#cite_note-42"&gt;[42]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and thus it remains the most practiced.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya#cite_note-43"&gt;[43]&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160; (Source:&amp;#160; Wikipedia)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;How does radicalization in the US happen?&amp;#160; Three primary ways:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;1)&amp;#160; Through the pumping of hundreds of millions of Saudi and other Muslim dollars into “Middle East Studies” programs (almost always anti-American Islamic propaganda centers) in virtually all of our major universities where radicalism is taught and promoted.&amp;#160; University programs are bought off by the millions.&amp;#160; The Presidents can’t resist the money.&amp;#160; They will sell whatever souls they have left for a new building or a new program.&amp;#160; The products of these programs then blend into society as “professionals” – professional soldiers of Allah ;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;2)&amp;#160; Through our liberal “ya’all come” immigration policy.&amp;#160; Yes, they’re all coming, the already radicalized as well as the soon to be radicalized, and we haven’t yet known the mayhem that that policy will bring.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;3) Via our prison systems where levels of indoctrination are rampant.&amp;#160; And we keep supplying them with the Qur’an, both domestically and at Gitmo.&amp;#160; This is like feeding Nazi prisoners Mein Kampf and expecting them to moderate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;4)&amp;#160; By infiltration and invitation into our federal government, legal system, education system, media, and even our military and national security agencies where the mayhem conducted by Islamists is dismissed or trivialized as “workplace violence” or “an isolated incident”, or “just some crazy person”,&amp;#160; typically ending in some asinine question like “How did that radicalization happen?”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;5) Through the apostasy of our churches whose highest priorities are to not offend anyone and make everyone feel good about themselves rather than teaching and promoting their now hapless faith.&amp;#160; So now the remnants of the Christian faith are no match for distinguishing itself from Islam.&amp;#160; They teach “we all have the same god, so it makes no difference what you really believe.”&amp;#160; That is opening the flood gates to any radicalized ideology that comes down the pike, Islam being the foremost among them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;6) &lt;font size="4"&gt;The Obama administration’s “see no Islam, hear no Islam, speak no Islam” policy when it comes to acts of terror against us or anywhere else in the world. Why do you think the FBI totally botched the warnings they received a year before the Islamist’s Boston Massacre? They were merely obeying Obama’s policy directives, doing their duty to ignore Muslim terrorists. Mustn’t upset the Muslims, oh my!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;7)&lt;font size="4"&gt;Ignorance of the average American liberal pothead. A “good friend” of one of the “alleged” bombers recalls smoking pot together with this guy and he never suspected his friend could do anything like this. Could it be because this oblivious child was preoccupied with being stoned? Or is he himself a sympathetic Muslim? And has anyone who interviewed the bomber’s Canadian aunt who was so critical about the investigation and who so vehemently defended her sweet little nephew ask her if she herself was Muslim? No! Has anyone who has interviewed the Muslim terrorist’s father in Russia bothered to ask if he, too, is Muslim? And Bill O’Reilly only calls him a nut case.&amp;#160; No, Bill, he is Muslim.&amp;#160; Very odd - he is crying “conspiracy” in his effort to discredit law enforcement credibility using almost the same words as aunty in Canada. The conspirators are crying “conspiracy.” And unfortunately, merely inquiring if someone is Muslim is so politically incorrect that there is a fear of even asking the question. Gullibility runs rampant.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;A message to all the journalists out there:&amp;#160; Open your frickin’ eyes.&amp;#160; Look around you!&amp;#160; Study the path of destruction of Islamic history.&amp;#160; Learn their ideology, not from those who practice it and practice its deception, but from those who have already spent 20 or 30 years of their lives studying its history and doctrine and actions, and culture, and morality, and politics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Know that Islam is a militaristic political ideology wrapped in the a religious façade.&amp;#160; And yes, Islam teaches that they are at war with the infidel because the infidel is inferior and Islam will prevail.&amp;#160; All Muslims who take their faith seriously believe this to be true and participate in its fulfillment though whatever means their level of commitment allows.&amp;#160; Their most effective tool is deception.&amp;#160;

I will wager that our politicians and politically correct security officials would rather ban trash cans , pressure cookers, black back packs, and cell phones than admit to the source of the violence:&amp;#160; Islamic doctrine and the methods of violence and terror that Islam promotes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;My daughter could have been at an event like that.&amp;#160; Chilling.&amp;#160; And if it was carried out by who the odds point to, it should motivate our leaders to not be so ignorant about the ideology of one of the world’s most evil plagues.&amp;#160; But it probably won’t.&amp;#160; They are too sold out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;________&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Update:&amp;#160; Today, April 16, all &lt;a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/16/trash-cans-around-capitol-removed-after-boston-terrorist-attack/" target="_blank"&gt;trash cans were removed from around the Capitol in DC.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Update:&amp;#160; &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/boston-bombs-were-similar-to-ieds-used-by-jihadisin-afghanistan-and-iraq.html" target="_blank"&gt;“Pressure cooker” bomb devices similar to IEDs used by Islamist Jihadists in Iraq and Pakistan.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Update:&amp;#160; The fishy stuff.&amp;#160; The &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/steve-emerson-saudi-national-to-be-deported-on-national-security-grounds-next-week.html" target="_blank"&gt;Saudi National “person of interest” is being deported to Saudi Arabia&lt;/a&gt; moments after an official of the Saudi Government holds an unscheduled meeting with B.

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;For those of us paying attention, this is nothing new.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; The largest and most predominant wings of the Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, and Episcopal belief systems in the US are in bed with Islamists.&amp;#160; This is no shock given that these churches are the most liberal, having given up millenia-old Biblical doctrine for the fashion of our current culture – not merely tolerating, but promoting homosexuality, gay marriage, and abortion.&amp;#160; Now on to partnerships with Islam.&amp;#160; What remains of their Biblical faith has withered to the extent that they will embrace just about anything.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Their apostasy has reached the point where not only are Biblical moral values discarded, but their understanding of God is so shallow and distorted that they accept Him as the same as the god of Islam.&amp;#160; That is ignorance out of the pits of hell.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Just for the record, there are conservative orthodox spin-offs of these apostatized sects.&amp;#160; Unfortunately their memberships are only a fraction of that of the liberal mainline bodies.&amp;#160; You’ve heard of RINO’s – Republicans in name only.&amp;#160; These mainline bodies are fast becoming CINO’s.&amp;#160; There are still a few Christian faithful among these liberal mainline bodies who remain out of habit and tradition or a belief that they can change.&amp;#160; Try changing a 50’ rogue wave and see what happens to you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The following Front Page Magazine article describes one denomination’s budding relationship with Islamists.&amp;#160; I don’t think they call themselves “Chrislam” yet, but they are well on their way.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/presbyterian-church-uses-islamists-for-interfaith-study/" href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/presbyterian-church-uses-islamists-for-interfaith-study/"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/presbyterian-church-uses-islamists-for-interfaith-study/&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

And if a miracle is reported, it is dismissed as the fabrication of some delusional mind.&amp;#160; But is it?&amp;#160; Are perceived “miracles” really merely just fantasy based in ignorance or wishful thinking?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Or could there be something else going on?&amp;#160; My understanding is that the more self-satisfied, self-absorbed, and pre-occupied we are, the less open we are to sensing and experiencing miracles.&amp;#160; Our minds are closed to God’s direct intervention in our lives and the world around us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But when things go south in our lives, when we feel not just a need, but a sense of desperation, our minds open up to other possibilities.&amp;#160; Some call it delusion; others, “wishful thinking.”&amp;#160; Miracles are among those possibilities.&amp;#160; Those who dismiss miracles as delusion or wishful thinking do not understand Scripture and how God manifests Himself in our lives.&amp;#160; He&amp;#160; operates the same way today as he did in the ancient past.&amp;#160; In times of desperate need God DOES intervene in real ways to those who trust Him in their desperation – and sometimes impacting those who don’t believe at all.&amp;#160; His intervention need not be merely in the mind of the desperate individual – it may not be just a peaceful “feeling” or pleasant thought.&amp;#160; It may be physical intervention that challenges all known laws of physics or probability.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It is not “merely” faith that enables the perception of miracles, but certain knowledge that such things are possible.&amp;#160; Those who lack this certain knowledge of the “possible” dismiss miracles as quirks or misunderstanding.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; But those in desperate need recognize the miracle event and the Source of its cause and give credit to that Source.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;One of my hobbies is radio.&amp;#160; In radio there are physical characteristics of the tuner called sensitivity and selectivity.&amp;#160; Sensitivity is a measure of the ability to pick up really weak stations.&amp;#160; Selectivity is a measure of the ability to separate weak stations from interference from nearby stations or other noise.&amp;#160; Our minds are like these radio tuners.&amp;#160; We can decide what we tune in to.&amp;#160; Are we sensitive to spiritual things or not?&amp;#160; Is our selectivity shot?&amp;#160; Do we allow the competing signals of our&amp;#160; self-satisfied, self-absorbed, and pre-occupied mind to drown out more helpful signals?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I admit, it is more difficult to be sensitive to the Spirit and selective to squelch out competing, less helpful distortion in our lives when things are going really well.&amp;#160; And the danger of getting out of practice of being sensitive and selective to what we take in, believe, and trust until we become immune and blind to what God sets before us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The danger is that the miracles set before us in desperate times of need can be too quickly dismissed or not noticed at all.&amp;#160; Revelation in the form of miracles is offered us in our times of greatest, most desperate need.&amp;#160; Stay tuned!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/RNJ4NLW1lk0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/feeds/4383565227779575447/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12010572&amp;postID=4383565227779575447" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/4383565227779575447?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/4383565227779575447?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Muccings/~3/RNJ4NLW1lk0/miracles-delusion-or-revelation.html" title="Miracles: Delusion or revelation?" /><author><name>Gerardo Moochie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11541992059443099894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://muccings.blogspot.com/2013/04/miracles-delusion-or-revelation.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0MARX84eSp7ImA9WhBWE0k.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12010572.post-7856743651310574446</id><published>2013-04-07T10:36:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2013-04-07T10:37:24.131-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2013-04-07T10:37:24.131-04:00</app:edited><title>The insanity of “pro-choicers”…</title><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;If you think Kim Jung-un is crazy, think this one through…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Pro-choice people, most often liberals, democrats, socialists, and Communists, believe that women must maintain a choice of killing the new life that is within them if they desire.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But consider this:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These same “pro-choice” liberals, democrats, socialists, and communists don’t believe we should have a choice when it comes to:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Choosing what we eat and drink (no big sodas)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Choosing which light bulbs we use (no incandescents)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Choosing which guns we can buy to defend ourselves with (the most effective ones)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Choosing which sources of energy to use (we are in the process of being forced to use the least efficient ones)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Choosing where we pray (not in schools, public places, at sports events, etc.)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So when it comes to “pro-choice”, the only choice these liberals, democrats, socialists, and communists prefer is the right to kill new life.&amp;#160; Oh, and the choice to either agree with them or to be marginalized and ridiculed.&amp;#160; This is part of their “man controls his own destiny” ideology common to all of these groups.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.korea-dpr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Here is the official web site of North Korea&lt;/a&gt;, the most overtly Communist nation on earth.&amp;#160; Read what they say about controlling their own destiny on their “&lt;a href="http://www.korea-dpr.com/juche_ideology.html" target="_blank"&gt;Juche Ideology&lt;/a&gt;” and “&lt;a href="http://www.korea-dpr.com/songun.html" target="_blank"&gt;Songun Politics&lt;/a&gt;” pages.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is also the way of the anti-Christ who tries to convince us of the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I am learning that when something does not make sense, does not compute, like the reelection of Barack Obama despite his Communist, anti-American past (and present), that there is a dark spiritual force behind it, just like the dark force behind the “pro-choice movement.”&lt;/p&gt;

Succumbing to the “crazy” act is also called appeasement.&amp;#160; What else will we give up or give to satiate North Korea’s “craziness?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Actually, there is an excellent possibility that we know a lot less than we think we know.&amp;#160; The odds are pretty high that Kim Jong Un’s “craziness” is at the direction of China.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; China’s motive?&amp;#160; Of course, to use North Korea’s erratic behavior as a means to reduce the West’s influence and preparedness in the region.&amp;#160; While we provide the occasional knee jerk reaction by dispatching a couple of jets and ships, these acts are short-lived.&amp;#160; The longer-term influence on our will to remain an effective influence in the region will gradually wane.&amp;#160;

That is what is in the process of happening to Cypress depositors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Let’s also pretend that that Europeans became so skittish over what is occurring to depositors in Cypress that they think it may happen to their deposits.&amp;#160; Let’s say the concern becomes to real and imminent that a run on banks occur first in Greece, Italy, and Spain, and after a few days spread to Euro-nations with sounder economies throughout the “Zone” .&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Suppose these runs result in failures of some of the largest banks in Europe.&amp;#160; And since the US banking system is tied to these large banks in many ways, fear spreads here in the US and folks begin withdrawing their funds from US banks in droves.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;My question to you is this:&amp;#160; Is it worth it to you to withdraw all or a substantial portion of your funds from US banks?&amp;#160; Would you only leave enough to pay your bills each month, or would you take it all out?&amp;#160; If you took it all out, how would you pay your utilities, your mortgage and car payment, would you be able to purchase anything from Amazon or any other retailer further than a short drive from your house?&amp;#160; How would a “cash only” existence affect your day to day activities?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;These are some of the things that are increasingly worth our while to consider.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Let’s go a bit further with these scenarios.&amp;#160; What impact would bank runs and bank failures have on the value of the dollar?&amp;#160; Would taking 10% from everyone’s bank account cause the dollar to be worth more, less, or will its value remain the same?&amp;#160; Theoretically, if money is taken out of circulation, the value of the dollar increases.&amp;#160; But are these dollars really taken out of circulation?&amp;#160; Or are they just taken out of our control and into the circulation of the government or bankers?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;What affect would bank failures have on the value of the dollar?&amp;#160; Again, to the extent that money remains in failed closed banks, that money is at least temporarily taken out of circulation.&amp;#160; Of course there are FDIC guarantees, but the FDIC has only enough backing to cover a small minority of deposits in US banks.&amp;#160; Eventually the “good faith and credit” of the US government “may” supplement depleted FDIC funds.&amp;#160; What would that do?&amp;#160; That ADDS to the money supply which in turn reduces the value of the dollar, creating inflated prices for everything.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Any way you look at it, our use of money will be disrupted in some manner for some unknown period of time, whether it be days, weeks or months.&amp;#160; We need to be keeping our eyes out for these events that can overtake us in a matter of days or hours.&amp;#160; Or they may never occur.&amp;#160; We don’t know.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;What we DO know is that events in the banking realm are getting dicey.&amp;#160; We know that people often react to uncertainty and fear in irrational ways creating unanticipated consequences.&amp;#160; I’m just suggesting we think about these things and what we can do to position ourselves to minimize the emotional and financial trauma that is more likely to result if we ignore what is happening.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;I would love to hear about the steps that some of you may be considering to help you cope with what may be increasingly likely scenarios.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/OzdjiejfpQo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/feeds/4825845102235609784/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12010572&amp;postID=4825845102235609784" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/4825845102235609784?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/4825845102235609784?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Muccings/~3/OzdjiejfpQo/what-would-you-do-if-you-learned-of.html" title="What would you do if you learned of potential bank runs across Europe and in the US?" /><author><name>Gerardo Moochie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11541992059443099894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://muccings.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-would-you-do-if-you-learned-of.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMCSXozfCp7ImA9WhBVFk0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12010572.post-2090477394723564507</id><published>2013-03-13T14:03:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2013-04-21T23:47:48.484-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2013-04-21T23:47:48.484-04:00</app:edited><title>Catholic decline;

Or is there more to it?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;There are several ways to look at this inverse relationship between these two belief systems:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Coincidence, which I don’t really believe in.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islam is filling a void left by the Catholic Church&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islam senses a weakness in the devoutness and will of the West led by the troubles and decline of the Catholic Church&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;God enables evil to fill a void created by the unfaithfulness of the Catholic Church and Christians generally.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Focusing on the Catholic Church, the clear evidence of trouble has made the headlines over the last several decades.&amp;#160; In recent history, trouble began soon after the Second Vatican Council concluded in 1965.&amp;#160; Here are some of the faith destroying events that have occurred since the ‘60’s:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;First, watering down of doctrine purportedly to be more “user friendly” to the liberalizing masses was accomplished by the Second Vatican Council.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Second Vatican Council&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_language"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Latin&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;: &lt;b&gt;Concilium Oecumenicum Vaticanum Secundum&lt;/b&gt; or informally known as &lt;b&gt;Vatican II&lt;/b&gt;) addressed relations between the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Roman Catholic Church&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; and the modern world. The council, through the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_See"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Holy See&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, formally opened under the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontificate"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;pontificate&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_XXIII"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Pope John XXIII&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; on 11 October 1962 and closed under &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Paul_VI"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Pope Paul VI&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; on 8 December 1965.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;From Wikipedia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Examples of such “watering down” of Catholic doctrine are provided in the Lumen Gentium, a doctrinal statement created in 1964 contemporary with the Second Vatican Council.&amp;#160; Portions of this doctrinal statement declare a semi-universal salvation:&amp;#160; In so many words, many may be saved without knowledge of,&amp;#160; trust&amp;#160; in, or commitment to Christ.&amp;#160; The statement appears to minimize ANY threat of punishment or Hell for those who don’t know the Gospel, Christ, or even God of the Bible.&amp;#160; All of this is with the intention of being kinder and gentler to win adherents.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;More specifically, Section 16 deals with those who have not yet received the Gospel, or the evangelical/missionary message of “how to be saved” or “how to avoid hell” or “how to receive ‘eternal life’”, depending on your religious persuasion.&amp;#160; Section 16 is provided in its entirety at the end of this blog, but here is an important excerpt:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;“But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator.&amp;#160; &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God,&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; who on the last day will judge mankind.”&amp;#160; (underline/italics added)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This statement literally shouts unadulterated ignorance of Islam and the nature of its pagan god.&amp;#160; The Islamic god had no son.&amp;#160; The Islamic god is not knowable.&amp;#160; The Islamic god does not express love.&amp;#160; In virtually every significant way, the Islamic god is different or opposite the Judeo-Christian God of Catholic doctrine.&amp;#160; Yet astoundingly, this statement declares Islam worships the same God.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Just as amazing, the statement places Muslims above all others among the unsaved for God’s mercy.&amp;#160; Why?&amp;#160; On what basis?&amp;#160; There are non-Muslim pagans all over the world subject to God’s grace.&amp;#160; What about the millions of Hindus, Buddhists, and Siks who may inwardly have a better understanding of God than unmaleable, malevolent Muslims?&amp;#160; How about the Jews who are at least in the same ball park of knowing the same God?&amp;#160; Why were Muslims proclaimed in “first place?”&amp;#160; What message did the Catholic hierarchy receive in the mid-60’s that caused that sort of nonsense?&amp;#160; Was it a result of Islamic intimidation?&amp;#160; Blackmail for as yet unrevealed sex acts by Catholic hierarchy?&amp;#160; A deal struck with the devil?&amp;#160; Middle East funding for remodeling the West Wing of the Vatican?&amp;#160; Centuries of wishful thinking?&amp;#160; A bout of extreme political correctness?&amp;#160; Nothing else would explain this insane statement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;In any case, here we have it.&amp;#160; Not only is knowing Christ and his character and ultimate sacrifice not required for salvation, but Muslims are first in line to receive His grace.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Then in the next decade we begin hearing rumblings about sex abuse and cover-up in the church involving Bishops and possibly Cardinals, becoming full bore headlines in the ‘80’s and 90’s.&amp;#160; The Church is still paying out millions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Related but a clearly a separate and equally serious problem is the so called “gay mafia” within the Vatican hierarchy.&amp;#160; These individuals are likely the ultimate proponents of child molestation cover-ups.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; They are most likely trying mightily to further erode Catholic Doctrine to promote gay marriage and to legitimize their gay lifestyle throughout the church.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Not only were the temporal punishments of the Medieval, Spanish and Roman inquisitions ceased for folks failing to convert to Catholicism removed from Catholic practice centuries ago, now even the consequence of eternal, &lt;em&gt;spiritual&lt;/em&gt; punishments have been removed for non-belief.&amp;#160; Why bother with religion at all?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;And the statistics show it.&amp;#160; The result?&amp;#160; A precipitous decline in membership, attendance, and faith over the past 50 years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The number of priests, graduate level seminaries and churches without a resident priest/pastor declined nearly 50% between 1965 and 2012&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;A Gallop poll indicates the percentage of Catholics age 20-29 who attend church declined from 56% in 1963 to 30% in 2003.&amp;#160; This doesn’t include the likely decline in those claiming they are Catholic.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Any modest growth the Church has enjoyed over the past decade is due to the huge influx of immigrants, both legal and illegal, from South of the border.&amp;#160; If only longer-term US citizens are considered, those counting themselves as an “active Catholic” would be in significant decline.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Contrast the above with the resurgence of historical orthodox Islam.&amp;#160; From Wikipedia:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Islamic revival&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Arabic&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;: الصحوة الإسلامية‎ &lt;i&gt;aṣ-Ṣaḥwah l-ʾIslāmiyyah&lt;/i&gt;, &amp;quot;Islamic awakening&amp;quot;) refers to a revival of the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islamic&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; religion throughout the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_world"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islamic world&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, that began roughly sometime in 1970s and is manifested in greater religious piety and in a growing adoption of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_culture"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islamic culture&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_clothing"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;dress&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_Islam"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;terminology&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, separation of the sexes, speech and media censorship, and values by &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Muslims&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_revival#cite_note-Lapidus_11-1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; One striking example of it is the increase in attendance at the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajj"&gt;Hajj&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, the annual pilgrimage to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Mecca&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, which grew from 90,000 in 1926 to 2 million in 1979.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_revival#cite_note-2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;From a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Western&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; perspective, two of the most important events that inspired the resurgence were the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Arab oil embargo&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; and subsequent quadrupling of the price of oil in the mid-1970s, and the 1979 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Revolution"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Iranian Revolution&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; that established an &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_republic"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islamic republic&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Iran&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; under &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayatollah"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Ayatollah&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhollah_Khomeini"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Khomeini&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;. The first created a flow of many billions of dollars from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; to fund Islamic books, scholarships, fellowships, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;mosques&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; around the world; the second undermined the assumption that &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westernization"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Westernization&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; strengthened &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muslim_majority_countries"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Muslim countries&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; and was the irreversible trend of the future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The “revival” or “resurgence” of Islam has emboldened Muslims around the globe to reassert their orthodox Islamic ideology.&amp;#160; Islam’s fundamental doctrines promote not only condemnation of and hatred toward everyone who does not convert to Islam, but requires conversion under threat of temporal death or subjugation.&amp;#160; These were maintained below the surface of most of the world’s awareness prior to the 1970’s.&amp;#160; And now they have erupted full bore.&amp;#160; So now, once again not only does Islam promise eternal punishment for failure to convert, but it metes out &lt;em&gt;temporal&lt;/em&gt; punishment for failure to convert.&amp;#160; Contrast this with the declining state of spiritual urgency of Christians and especially Catholics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The result:&amp;#160; A dramatic resurgence in Islamic activism, fervor, supremacism, and terror.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The Church is being dealt the consequences of their failure to promote the truths that were handed down to Her from the Apostles as well as ignoring the realities of Islam which are hell bent on washing over the Catholic/Christian millieu with their fascist, satanic ideology.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;For an example of the damage that can be done to Christianity and westerm culture by careless, poorly articulated, or downright ignorant Christian pronouncements, see this article about the actions taken by one US Catholic Bishop against a noted Catholic Islamic expert &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/03/spencers-treatment-at-the-hands-of-the-diocese-of-worcester-provides-some-insights-into-the-problems.html" target="_blank"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;font size="1"&gt;(&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/03/spencers-treatment-at-the-hands-of-the-diocese-of-worcester-provides-some-insights-into-the-problems.html" href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/03/spencers-treatment-at-the-hands-of-the-diocese-of-worcester-provides-some-insights-into-the-problems.html"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/03/spencers-treatment-at-the-hands-of-the-diocese-of-worcester-provides-some-insights-into-the-problems.html&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;_____________________________&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Excerpt of the “Dogmatic Constitution on the Church” known as Lumen Gentium:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;16. Finally, those who have not yet received the Gospel are related in various ways to the people of God.(18*) In the first place we must recall the people to whom the testament and the promises were given and from whom Christ was born according to the flesh.(125) On account of their fathers this people remains most dear to God, for God does not repent of the gifts He makes nor of the calls He issues.(126&lt;b&gt;) But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind&lt;/b&gt;. Nor is God far distant from those who in shadows and images seek the unknown God, for it is He who gives to all men life and breath and all things,(127) and as Saviour wills that all men be saved.(128) Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience.(19*) Nor does Divine Providence deny the helps necessary for salvation to those who, without blame on their part, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God and with His grace strive to live a good life. Whatever good or truth is found amongst them is looked upon by the Church as a preparation for the Gospel.(20*) She knows that it is given by Him who enlightens all men so that they may finally have life. But often men, deceived by the Evil One, have become vain in their reasonings and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, serving the creature rather than the Creator.(129) Or some there are who, living and dying in this world without God, are exposed to final despair. Wherefore to promote the glory of God and procure the salvation of all of these, and mindful of the command of the Lord, &amp;quot;Preach the Gospel to every creature&amp;quot;,(130) the Church fosters the missions with care and attention.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;First, is He a personal, knowable God as in Judeo-Christian understanding?&amp;#160; Or is he an unknowable entity as in the Islamic system?&amp;#160; If He is unknowable, responsibility toward such god cannot be knowable, either.&amp;#160; So the question posed in the title must focus on our responsibility to a “knowable God.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The popular understanding of our responsibility toward God in Christian circles is 1) acknowledging that God exists, 2) understanding that Christ is His son, 3) believing that Christ’s mission was to forgive sin and thus provide us future eternal bliss.&amp;#160; Period.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Our role and responsibility in this Christian belief system is virtually non-existent.&amp;#160; Oh, some believe we should attend church at least occasionally and perform some “good works” now and then.&amp;#160; Beyond that, “once saved/always saved” becomes the believer’s “get out of hell free” card.&amp;#160; Our personal responsibilities toward God are rarely mentioned.&amp;#160; And then there is the “free gift” salvation pulled from Scripture which also infers we have no responsibility, no role whatsoever, in our eternal life.&amp;#160; In Catholicism we have the infinitely repetitious, perpetual, always forever and ever amen confession and forgiveness routine that comes to our rescue.&amp;#160; Think “Catholic mob hit man”.&amp;#160; We are saved as often as we express regret.&amp;#160; The sincerity of the regret and conscious, diligent, persevering effort to make amends and change our ways is rarely mentioned.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, what does our knowable, personal God expect of us beyond what is most often expressed in the “feel good”, entertainment-driven, no personal responsibility, perpetually-ignoring-and-excusing-immorality churches?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Well, at least a balance between judgment and grace.&amp;#160; Grace is certainly a gift of God and a significant part of what God provides, but so is judgment.&amp;#160; Without judgment there could be no grace.&amp;#160; In 100 years the churches in this country have gone from all judgment, fire and brimstone to all grace, little morality, and inconsequential personal responsibility. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;God expects our recognition of what is moral and immoral in His sight.&amp;#160; He expects us to make known to others around us what is moral and immoral in His sight.&amp;#160; He expects us to take His commandments and teaching seriously, for ourselves and for others.&amp;#160; He expects that there be temporal antipathy toward society’s&amp;#160; immorality, even though He offers eternal pardon.&amp;#160; Instead, churches admonish us not to judge and accept and defend every behavior.&amp;#160; Wrong, wrong, wrong.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; These new-age concepts are based on unbalanced, out of context misrepresentations of historic Christian thought.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; God expects us to respect and follow our own faith not so that we can believe every other belief system is just as good and acceptable, but so that we deeply believe and understand that our belief system is superior – the only one ordained and acceptable to the Creator of the Universe.&amp;#160; And that our actions follow these beliefs.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Today’s Christian faith appears to be “tolerate everything” – be critical of nothing.&amp;#160; There are people who more energetically believe the moon is made of crème cheese than the manner most Christians relate with their God.&amp;#160; And there is undeniably greater enthusiasm of Muslim leaders toward their ideology than the average Christian leader has toward his.&amp;#160; This contrast in energy and enthusiasm will not only spell the end of our Judeo-Christian-based culture in this country within a couple of decades but will ensure an emergence of a fascist ideology in the image of Islam.&lt;/p&gt;

In the course of conversation I learned that the husband was a former school teacher and is self-described as having been a well respected school disciplinarian. Learning this gave me the perfect opening to ask &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;1) his take on the state of student respect and behavior in the schools today compared to a couple of decades ago, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;2) what he thought the reasons were for the collapse of self-discipline and respect in the schools. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;He readily confirmed the answer to my first open ended question: Public schools had become unteachable dens of disrespect. He admitted he was glad to be out of that profession due to that very fact. His answer to my second question took more prodding. His first attempt at an answer: The parents side with their disrespectfully disobedient little Timmy, not the teacher. &amp;quot;But why?&amp;quot;, I probed. He seemed stymied. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. After I suggested a reason might be the consequences of an &amp;quot;anything goes&amp;quot; culture, hoping to hear the &amp;quot;no prayer/no God&amp;quot; answer, he revealed he was a deacon in a Catholic Church and spends dozens of hours preparing sermons to help the overworked Priest. A Deacon in a church who is clueless (or worse, knowing but silent) about the reasons for moral decline in our schools?&amp;#160; Red lights flashed in my head. &amp;quot;Clueless apostate deacon alert!!! Warning. Warning!&amp;quot; (That was the counter-cultural, judgmental side of my brain kicking in, thank God.)&amp;#160; Imagine that. A man who regularly gives sermons who cannot give a spiritually-based reason why kids have reverted to animal behavior in schools over the past 20 years. Clue: It has something to do with God, or rather the absence thereof.&amp;#160; But wait!&amp;#160; There’s more!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;A bit later, the subject of Islam came up (Ok, I probably made some unflattering comment about that demonic ideology.) This perked up clueless' wife's' ears. She jumped to Islam's defense so quick it made my head spin. Clueless II insisted Islam is just another religion, no better, no worse than Catholicism, citing the Crusades, naturally (gee, a matched pair of cluelessness.)&amp;#160; Moral equivalency strikes again – and anachronistically in a different millennium.&amp;#160; I asked how she came to this conclusion.&amp;#160; She gave the same story most other ignorant defenders of Islam give: She knew a nice Muslim. She called him &amp;quot;a young boy.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;And&amp;quot;, she went on, &amp;quot;Islam is really all about peace.&amp;quot; At that, the spaghetti I was eating was nearly snorted out of my nose. I mostly recovered and asked &amp;quot;how old was this 'young boy'&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Seventeen&amp;quot;, she offered. I interjected &amp;quot;just old enough to practice taqiyya and kitmam&amp;quot; after which I explained the meaning of these terms as well as the Islamic doctrine of abrogation. I gave a two minute lecture to which she politely nodded and, I am quite sure quickly dismissed due to the total absence of follow-up questions or any further discussion of the topic.&amp;#160; These fools don’t really want any more information than what they already gullibly believe.&amp;#160; I really do need to learn how to engage clueless people a lot better.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This left me with a stark and disappointing confirmation of my experience with too many church leaders and those whose ignorance of our &amp;quot;tolerate everything/judge nothing&amp;quot; culture that causes them to be incredibly naive. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Is the Catholic Church (and most of Christianity in the US) in trouble?&amp;#160; Yes indeed it is - on two fronts: Their leader’s refuse to grasp and address the reasons for the precipitous moral decline in this nation as well as their gross ignorance of and lack of concern about the Islamic threat to our nation and freedoms is an epidemic.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Too many Christian leaders have watered down the basics of Christian doctrine to please and attract too many for the wrong reasons (e.g. for “the music” and entertainment, for “feel good” pandering, for perpetual/repetitious forgiveness for perpetual/repetitious personal moral failings, for its social life or business connections).&amp;#160; Many believe that Christ died to enable us to continue sinning without temporal or eternal consequences; that His purpose was to make us rich, happy and perpetually forgiven &lt;em&gt;with little or no responsibility on our end.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#160; Consequently many leaders and attendees have convinced themselves that their own “faith” is no better or worse than any other – even Islam.&amp;#160; That kind of faith truly is no better than any other product peddled by snake oil salesmen and fascist Islamists.&amp;#160; The doctrinal pendulum has swung from pure hell, fire, and brimstone to the other extreme of pure irresponsibility.&amp;#160; This has created a moral vacuum that is being filled by whatever militant tripe comes along. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;My private, after-the-fact visceral reaction to this dinner conversation was &amp;quot;God. Help Us.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/aJnr5ACU3Jg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/feeds/6699011476133540864/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12010572&amp;postID=6699011476133540864" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/6699011476133540864?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/6699011476133540864?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Muccings/~3/aJnr5ACU3Jg/more-clueless-christians.html" title="More clueless Christians" /><author><name>Gerardo Moochie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11541992059443099894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://muccings.blogspot.com/2013/03/more-clueless-christians.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUIGRXs9eCp7ImA9WhBSE0U.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12010572.post-9195316016716639391</id><published>2013-02-20T10:55:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2013-02-20T14:12:04.560-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2013-02-20T14:12:04.560-05:00</app:edited><title>Use the correct words when discussing Muslims and Islam…</title><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;You’ve probably heard that the federal government now prohibits the use of the word “Islam” or “Muslim” when they refer to any violent act committed by Muslims in the name of Islam or Allah.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; That is unacceptable deceit by our own government.&amp;#160; The purpose?&amp;#160; To avoid “offending” and maintain good relations with so-called “moderate Muslims” – those who always turn out to be not so moderate; who pretend moderation through their deceit.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Unfortunately, many “experts” and conservatives we rely on to understand and convey the truth about Islam also fail to use accurate terminology to describe Muslims and the Islamic ideology that promotes havoc in the world.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The likes of Hannity, Gabriel, Beck, Emerson, most media, and others continue to apply modifiers to Islam such as “radical”, “violent”, and “extremist” as if Islam itself is not inherently radical, violent and extreme.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Here is a question for those who may doubt my challenge to use more truthful terminology to describe those who promote the demise of the west in the name of Islam and Allah:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffc000"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;What ancient, named internationally famous ideology do you suppose informs and motivates the attitude and actions of those who claim to be Muslim and who &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;declare their subversive or violent aggression in the name of Islam or Allah?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffc000" size="4"&gt;Why would you seek some other reason to explain the intolerant, violent behavior of Muslims when the explanation based on Islamic founders, current leaders, orthodox Islamic ideology and history is so clear to those who bother to research it?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;So, in the interests of straightforward truth about the challenges we face from Islam, here is a BS-free style sheet of terminology pertaining to Muslims and Islam:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Words to avoid when describing conciliatory, moderate, violent or seditious&amp;#160; speech or actions by Muslims:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Extremist&lt;/font&gt; (“Extremist” Muslims are not an aberration of historic Islamic practice; the “extremists” in Islam are the militant wing supported to varying degrees by various means by the other 90% of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Violent &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;(“Violent” Islam is NOT an aberration of Islam; Islam is violent; violence is an integral and essential component of orthodox Islam; Islam is peaceful when it serves its purpose; Islam is violent when it serves its purpose)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Moderate&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160; (most Muslim leaders are offended by the term “moderate Islam”; there is no such thing; Islam often &lt;em&gt;appears&lt;/em&gt; moderate to achieve its radical purposes)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Radical&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160; (“Radical” Islam is NOT a distortion of Islamic orthodoxy; it is the core of orthodox Islam; the term “radical” erroneously presupposes there is a “non-radical Islam” which there is not)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Nice &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;(as in the “nice Muslim neighbor next door” who hides his Islamic prejudices to get along until Islam dominates)&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Good&lt;/font&gt; (a “good Muslim” cannot be a good citizen of the West, except to appear as such through deceit to further Islam)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;If a modifier to the word Muslim or Islam is required, use one or more of the following:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Devout&lt;/font&gt; (the more devout, the more faithful to ideology, the more dangerous)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Fundamentalist&lt;/font&gt; (faithful follower of Islamic ideology)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Cultural &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;(non-practicing, but will side with orthodox)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Orthodox&lt;/font&gt; (strict adherence to historic ideology)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Apostate &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;(one who still calls oneself “Muslim” but who renounces orthodox Islam, e.g. Zudhi Jasser)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Islamist&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; (a practicing orthodox Muslim)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Deceitful&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Taqiyya-inspired&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Tricky&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Raging&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Psychotic&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; (the mental defect of many Muslims in the Middle East resulting from rampant inbreeding)&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Paranoid&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Reactionary&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Intolerant&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Supremacist&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Muhammadan&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;And from a Christian perspective…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Evil&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Satanic&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Anti-Christ &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Of course, liberal neo-Christians will reject the above three modifiers not only because they reject the reality of evil, Satan, and the anti-Christ but also because they have bought into the cultures’ new highest value:&amp;#160; tolerance.&amp;#160; They will restrict free speech (i.e. be intolerant) to promote “tolerance.”&amp;#160; They will demonize those who speak out with the truth about Islam or any Biblical moral standard.&amp;#160; There is no absolute “right and wrong”; “good and evil” to distinguish between.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; They have adopted the decadence of moral relativity – the “50 shades of gray” mentality .&amp;#160; They don’t have a belief system worthy of defending against evil.&amp;#160; The result is self evident in their defense of and partnerships with Islam as practiced by most mainline churches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The idea our culture has of a “moderate Muslim” is often a result of self-deception and wishful thinking.&amp;#160; More often than not, the “moderate” turns out to be lying his ass off to promote Islam; saying one thing while in the US and another when in a Muslim-dominated part of the world. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The idea of a “Muslim extremist” or “radical Muslim” or “radical Islam” presupposes that Muslims who are not espousing or engaged in violence or sedition &lt;em&gt;at the moment&lt;/em&gt; are somehow “moderate” and OK when we know darn well that the ideology that informs their mindset promotes supremacism through lying, deceit, hatred, violence, and terror – Zudhi Jasser included:&amp;#160; He has not yet given up being a follower of Muhammad, the chief architect of the Islamic ideology.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Too many Americans, and especially our leaders and media, blindly assume what they are told by Muslim propagandists.&amp;#160; Our naiveté is ruining our nation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muccings/~4/bZFX3AG2YoA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://muccings.blogspot.com/feeds/9195316016716639391/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12010572&amp;postID=9195316016716639391" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/9195316016716639391?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12010572/posts/default/9195316016716639391?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Muccings/~3/bZFX3AG2YoA/use-correct-words-when-discussing.html" title="Use the correct words when discussing Muslims and Islam…" /><author><name>Gerardo Moochie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11541992059443099894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://muccings.blogspot.com/2013/02/use-correct-words-when-discussing.html</feedburner:origLink></entry></feed>
