The Italian and Spanish languages have many similarities. The numbers, for example, are almost the same in both languages because they came from the same root. Similarly the Arabic language has a lot in common with Hebrew because they are both Semitic languages. So when a Muslim says Salaam we naturally think of the Hebrew Shalom as having the same meaning. But while Salaam is translated as “peace” it doesn’t carry the same thought to a Muslim. Muslims believe that they will only have peace when all enemies of Allah are dead and the World under submission to Islam. Above all they want to destroy Israel and take over all of Israel for Allah. That would be true Salaam to them.
The Israelis have no such ambition. To an Israeli the idea of peace is to be left alone to enjoy life and continue to beautify and bless the Land God gave them. They have already fulfilled the biblical prophecy of turning the desert into a rose garden and they want to continue with that dream. Israeli Universities and pharmaceutical laboratories continue to lead the world in helping mankind and their electronics companies pioneer products that make life more productive throughout the world. They have no desire at all to take any Arab or Muslim lands. They want only what the God of the Bible promised them 3000 years ago. Yet while Israelis do nothing but good they are surrounded by the Evil Empire of Islam which constantly plots the destruction of Israel.
The patience of the Jewish people is amazing. After being forced into exile 2000 years ago they have returned to the Land given to them by God (something no other nation can claim) and they have had to fight nature on the one hand to conquer the desert, and on the other hand fight for the right to even exist at all in a very impatient world. Yet Israel has smiled and offered peace after every time they have been attacked. But today’s Israelis are a little different from the Jews of the 1940s who resignedly walked into the gas chambers. The Israelis are tough and they are determined never to give up again in the face of brutality and ignorance. In today’s world Israel waits patiently as the Muslims rain down rockets on her towns and villages from Lebanon and from Gaza until finally she is forced to move and fight back with great force because the United Nations does nothing to help. And then the Muslims whine and the U.N. condemns the victim once again for not just dying when provoked and attacked.
In a very real sense the world is split into two camps. There are those who stand up for Israel and the God of Israel and those who oppose God and His Chosen People. Of course critics will scoff at this simple statement but in fact from the very beginning God has given man a very simple choice to follow Him or to oppose Him and in most cases man has chosen the latter. In this, the end of days, one anti-God entity has arisen to dwarf all others and it has set its sights on the destruction of Israel and any who would stand with Israel. From the start it was a cult of war and destruction and it can never change.
World opinion based on the screams of the Muslims and broadcasts by the CNN and other networks of deception believes that Israel is an aggressive nation and that the Muslims are oppressed by them. But any person who takes the time to read knows that it is exactly the opposite.
While Israel is daily confronted by this menace the United States is also one of its foremost targets.
We all remember where we were on September 11, 2001. It was like the day Kennedy was shot. We were all so stunned by the TV film of the airliners flying into the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 that we will never forget where we were when we first saw them. But where were you on February 26, 1993?
At 12:17 p.m. that afternoon, a Kuwaiti immigrant Abdul Basit Mahmoud Abdul Karim (AKA Ramzi Mohammed Yousef),drove a rented Ryder truck into the basement of the underground garage of the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. In the back of that truck fellow Muslims had loaded 1,500 pounds of explosives designed to destabilize the north tower and send it crashing into the south tower thereby destroying the complete twin towers complex.
After setting the timer Yousef calmly walked out of the building and his Muslim friends spirited him away to Pakistan. Subsequently Ramzi Yousef was arrested in Pakistan and extradited to the United States for trial. During the next four years a total of seven Muslim conspirators were convicted of involvement in the attack including Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman. These Muslims failed in their attempt to destroy the towers. They succeeded in murdering six people and causing financial damage but it was not the spectacular event they needed to bring attention to the teaching of the Khoran and bring America to her knees. But that was only the first part of the Muslim attempt to destroy the World Trade Center.
On September 11, 2001, they tried again. 19 Muslims hijacked four airliners. Two of them were crashed into the Twin Towers, one into the Pentagon and the fourth, aimed at the White House, was diverted by the gallant act of passengers and finally blew up in a field in Pennsylvania. Almost 3000 innocent people died in those attacks including citizens of 80 other nations: dozens of Pakistanis; more than 130 Israelis; more than 250 citizens of India; and hundreds of British citizens.
Although most of those mass murderers were from Saudi Arabia, not all of them were. The nineteen had only two things in common. They were men and they all believed fervently in the teachings of the Koran.
On September 17, 2001, George W. Bush made a speech at the Islamic Center in Washington, D.C. which included the words “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace.” Where was Congressman Joe Wilson that day to shout “You lie.” to a president. (He shouted “You Lie” at Obama).
I cringed when I heard George make that statement. Apparently his speechwriters thought that the word Islam means “peace.” But in fact it means Submission- submission to the will of Allah as laid down in the Koran and Hadith. And the Koran and Hadith instruct Muslims to live at peace with other Muslims but to make merciless and unceasing war on the unbeliever.
On December 10, 2002 President Bush said “Islam traces its origins back to God's call on Abraham. And Ramadan commemorates the revelation of God's word in the Holy Koran to the prophet Mohammad.” Oh Joe, how we needed you again to shout “You Lie.”
How could any thinking person say that Islam traces its origins back to Abraham? Mohammad founded the Muslim cult more than 1600 years after Abraham. It was based on bits and pieces of more than 300 cults and religions of his day. He skillfully wove into the fabric of Islam parts of other religions in an attempt to entice Jews, Christians, and other to join his new cult. As part of the plot he rewrote parts of the book of Genesis to say that Ishmael was the father of the chosen nation. For instance, he claimed that it was Ishmael who accompanied Abraham to Mount Moriah and was about to be sacrificed as a test of Abraham’s faith. We know, of course, that it was, in fact, Isaac and that God specifically stated that the line of promise would go through Isaac and absolutely not through Ishmael. Ishmael would receive a blessing yes, but he would father a nation of angry warriors – the Arabs.
Genesis 16 8-12 And the angel said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?" "I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered. Then the angel of the LORD told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her." The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count." The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." (New International version)
YES! I know George Bush was trying to avert the natural tendency of Americans to take revenge on the enemy in our midst. The government was in a very difficult position because Americans were very angry. Most of us would have been horrified at the result if that natural tendency for revenge had not been muted. So George was trying to calm the troubled waters of American feelings. But to deliberately lie about Islam and whitewash it was also wrong.
Come on George, do you really believe Islam is Peace? Surely that must rate as one of the most naive statements ever. It was Islam that destroyed the twin towers in New York. It was Islam that killed those people in a Pennsylvania corn field. It was Islam that killed those people in the Pentagon. There were no Jews among them. There were no Christians in their ranks, no Hindus, not even a Mormon or a Scientologist. They were ALL Muslims dedicated to the teachings of the Koran.
A poll of Evangelical Protestant leaders taken in 2002 revealed that only 10% agreed with President Bush that Islam was synonymous with peace.
Pope Benedict XVI refused to agree that Islam was a religion of peace. However he stated: It certainly contains elements that can favor peace,
it also has other elements: We must always seek the best elements.
Well, I tend to agree with the Pope. If we could teach Muslims to live by the good verses and reject the violent ones it would be wonderful. But every Friday their Imams all over the world teach violence and lawlessness. For example there was that British Imam Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal, who told his congregation that they need to go out and rob banks.
"Are you poor? Don't cry about it, but wage jihad, also by holding up banks," "Do you, like many, cry because you are poor?
If so, wage jihad! Look at all the money stashed away in Swiss banks. How can we compete with that?
You can’t rewrite history and make sweeping alterations in the Bible to justify a bloodthirsty cult of war and destruction. Mohammed was a desert brigand who made his living plundering the camel caravans that crossed Arabia between India, Europe, and Africa. He was illiterate but dictated his ravings to scribes who wrote them down and used many parts to eventually form the Koran and the Hadith. And it is these two hate-filled books that have given rise to the bloody tactics of terror used by Muslims today.
Muslims have never had any concern for the Geneva Convention or any other rules of war set down by nations to reduce suffering and promote some vestige of what is fair and right. If war is inevitable then at least it should be fought with some degree of care and fairness. Hospitals, churches, synagogues and even mosques are considered as safe havens and never to be attacked. Enemy wounded must never be killed but taken as Prisoners of War and treated for wounds. Women and children must never be attacked.
The Israeli Army has always followed these rules except in the case of a few individual soldiers and these were tried and sentenced by military courts. But the Muslims have no such rules when fighting against Israel, other armies, or even against other Muslims. There have been numerous accounts of Muslims blowing up Mosques belonging to other segments of Islam and they certainly don’t mind killing children, even Muslim children, for the cause just so that they can blame it on Israel. And when they do such things they can be sure to get the U.N. and the press to pass on the lie for broadcast to the world.
Their tactics include
Using Hospitals as firing positions so that when the Israelis fire back they kill patients.
Using Ambulances to take terrorists from Gaza into Israel because they know the Israelis will let the ambulance go through checkpoints.
Setting up rocket launchers right next to apartment houses and accusing the Israelis of genocide when they fire back at those positions.
Sending Arab children into the space between the two armies so that Israelis will shoot the children. The Israelis would never do this knowingly but the sight of a fourteen year old boy running toward them in the night has on some occasions caused Israeli snipers to fire.
Forcing women to wear an explosives belt and sending them into a group of Israeli soldiers while they detonate the explosives from a safe distance.
There is nothing they will not do to gain a victory for Islam and they use the Koran to justify everything because the Koran teaches that anything done to further Islam is permissible.
Israeli Children are taught in school to love and to make peace while Muslim schoolchildren are taught to hate Jews. They are given toy guns and taught to march. America was shocked to find children being forced to perform pro-Obama songs in school but Muslim children are taught to sing songs of hatred and in order to get good grades they have to make speeches about their desire to become a Shaheed (Martyr) by killing Jews.
Meanwhile the United Nations refuses to condemn the Muslims but condemns Israel at every possible chance. The Goldstone report after Operation Cast Lead (when Israel was forced to go back into Gaza after months of rocket attacks on Israeli towns) concluded that there were violations on both sides but the UN published ONLY the parts of it that condemned Israel.
In Joseph Farah’s C2 Bulletin he quotes London’s MI5 as saying that Muslim doctors have trained in London and returned to their own countries to fit explosive implants into female suicide bomber’s breasts. It sounds like something from a James Bond movie but apparently it is true. British scientists say that a woman could carry enough undetected explosives in this way to blow a hole in an airliner that would force it to crash. So it has come to that; even that part of the body God designed for nurturing and peace the Muslims have turned into a weapon of war. Indeed they will stop at nothing to kill, maim, and destroy humanity.
Israel keeps making peace in the face of this hatred yet the U.N. and the press constantly paints Israel as the aggressor. The smallest child in the school is accused of bullying the bullies. What insanity.
WHERE DID THIS CULT OF HATRED AND DESTRUCTION COME FROM?
We all know that it was started by an obscure brigand in the desert of Arabia who robbed desert caravans for a living, stealing the merchandise killing the men and raping the women. He claimed to have a vision of the Angel Gabriel who said that God wanted him to start a new religion. He continued to have visions and while he did he frothed at the mouth and shook violently. Some say he was an epileptic but Mohammed himself said that he was demon possessed.
Mohammed relied on market research. If one form of his new cult did not seem to be very popular he made some changes and tried it again. For instance, he lived in a part of Arabia that worshiped more than 360 gods and goddesses. When he test marketed his one god theory he ran into a road block of immense proportions. Naturally if all those 360 plus gods were dumped a lot of people would be out of a job. Eventually Mohammed decided that one god would not work and announced that he was wrong on that and the other gods were reinstated. But then he found that all of his followers who liked the one god religion were angry and wanted to take their toys and go home. Either way Mohammad would lose. So he finally decided that he would have one god plus the two daughters of Allah and that should make a lot of people happy and maybe that would be enough to start his new religion. Later, facing more opposition, he had to remove Allah’s two daughters and go back once again to his one god idea but he blamed his constant changes on the fact that he was demon possessed, which was probably the one grain of truth in the whole thing. Yes, that fact is there and Muslims do not deny it.
During his lifetime Mohammed never displayed any tendencies toward peace. Indeed he seemed to be constantly at war with his neighbors. Since the people of Mecca had more sense than to accept his new cult he had to make war on them and force them into submission (remember Islam means submission). He massacred whole villages of people who opposed him and according to a
Muslim website he personally led his cutthroat army in no less than 27 battles against mostly defenseless villagers. When asked if it was right to murder women and children in these raids he answered that it was the will of Allah.
These 27 battles did not include the ones he sent his armies to fight but only the ones he himself led. Is this a man of peace who founded a religion of peace? Was George right to say “Islam is peace?”
Mohammed told his followers many times that they must kill for the cause. One quotation beloved by Muslims is “Paradise is under the shade of the sword.” Can there be any doubt as to the meaning of such a statement. In another place Muslims are told “Kill anyone if it is in a just cause”. Oh! “What might be a just cause?” In other places they are told that
anything they say or do to further Islam is justified.
The Khoran also teaches that any who leave Islam or who oppose Islam must be hunted down and be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or be expelled out of the land.
So where do people get the idea that Islam is a religion of peace, or a religion at all?
It was Islam that caused the Armenian genocide.
A bill deploring the Armenian Holocaust was seen as sure to pass through Congress in 2000 until the Turkish Government warned the United States not to allow it or suffer the consequences. Under Islamic threats the mighty United States backed down and came into submission (Remember please that Islam means submission).
In early April of 1915 Armenian officers in the Turkish army suddenly found themselves under arrest for no apparent reason. With their leaders in custody the lower ranks were also arrested and all of them were then transferred to labor battalions. Not many days later they were all shot without trial.
On the 24th April 1915, 300 Armenian leaders from all over Turkey were executed. They included writers, politicians, doctors, lawyers, professors, businessmen, church men, and civil servants. The same day in Constantinople (Istanbul) the Muslims rounded up 5,000 more Armenians and cut them to pieces in the streets and in their homes, shops and schools.
Finally the rest of the Armenians all over Turkey and Armenia were arrested and told they were to be relocated. Then they began the “Death March.” They were told they would be taken to concentration camps in the desert between Jerabalus and DeitesZot. Many never made it to the camps dying on the way of heatstroke. Children and old and sick people who could not keep up were shot or bayoneted on the spot. Those who were able limp and crawl to the camps wished they had not. They were left to die in the baking sun without food or water. Ironically, on the Black Sea Coast the Armenians were taken out to sea and drowned.
In all 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered or starved to death buy the Muslims.
But Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright persuaded the American Congress to submit to Islam and never allow that bill to come up for a vote.
It was Islam that murdered hundreds of Israelis on buses and in other terror attacks.
It is Islam that constantly bombards Israeli villages with rockets from Gaza. Gaza is part of the Land deeded to Israel by God yet the world forced Israel to give Gaza to the Muslims as part of the Land for Peace initiative and from there Muslims bombard them with rockets.
Is Israel a Warmongering Nation?
In mid-May of 2007 Muslims in Gaza fired more than 220 Qassam rockets into the Israel town of Sderot in the Negev in just one week. Israel waited patiently for the UN to step in and stop the attacks on unarmed Israeli civilians. But as usual the UN did nothing to help Israel and prompted the inevitable Israel retaliation.
Israel had no choice but to strike back. They could not possibly allow their citizens to be killed by over the border rockets and nobody did anything to stop the constant bombardment.
No other country would have waited so long and so patiently in the face of constant attacks by the enemy. Had Russia attacked the United States with missiles the United States would have sent such a barrage of rockets on Russian cities as to wipe them out in a few hours. Can you imagine China waiting patiently and doing nothing if it were attacked by Taiwan? So why did the world expect Israel to do nothing about those rockets fired into Israeli towns by the Muslims in Gaza? It seems that Israel is the one country in this world to that is expected to turn the other cheek over and over again.
While Israel has never admitted to having any nuclear weapons in her arsenal if we are to believe the reports of experts Israel has enough nuclear weapons stored in the desert near Dimona to wipe out every Arab and Muslim capital in a matter of hours. So why don’t they do it? Surely it is because Israel is the most patient and forgiving nation on the face of the earth. They truly believe in Shalom.
Israelis want peace more than anything and they have given constantly in a naive bid for peace. But the Muslims have never reciprocated. They follow a cult of war and will never make peace until the whole world is under the Muslim curse.
They live their lives under the shadow of an evil book called the Koran. Politicians, reporters, and even religious leaders claim that the Koran is a book that offers peace. But in fact the only peace it proclaims is the peace of those who kill for Islam.
I know that President Bush wanted to calm America down and stop Americans from a wholesale slaughter of the enemy in our midst, but George you lied to us and when our country is at war with the evil empire of Mohammed that seems to be getting pretty close to treason doesn’t it?
Not only did George’s speechwriters put lies in his mouth but they also got a very basic fact wrong. Islam has never been translated as “peace”. The word for peace in Arabic is Salaam. But then of course that particular peace refers to the peace Muslims will have when all the enemies of Allah are dead.
THE PRESS, FEEDS THE MYTH OF ISRAELI BRUTALITY
People say they don’t believe half what they see on T.V. but the fact is that they do retain the lies in their memories and at least wonder if some of the stories could be true. A man can be found not guilty of murder but there will always be some who say “There’s no smoke without fire.” So a public bombarded by constant lies cannot help wonder about Israel.
One Howling example of dishonest reporting was a story in the New York Times on September 20th 2000 in which they showed a photograph of a poor battered Palestinian youth with blood running from his mouth and a vicious looking Israeli Policeman standing over him with a club ready to hit him again if he tried to get up. The world was shocked at this example of Israeli brutality as the photo appeared in one newspaper after another from London to New York and from Shanghai to Moscow.
But the unfortunate “Palestinian” was in fact Tovia Grossman a Jewish youth from New York. He and some friends had been travelling in a taxi when it was stopped by a mob of Muslims who forced the young people out of the car and began to beat them. Fortunately an Israeli policeman came on the scene just in time and the photo was in fact of Tovia being protected from the Muslim mob. But the New York Times did not care how many lies they told in order to get across their theme that Israelis are bad people.
There are numerous accounts of so called “Palestinians,” including children, being shot by Israeli soldiers which, when investigated proved to be a case of Palestinians shooting innocent civilians and pretending the Israelis did it. In the recent war in Gaza many residents told of rocket batteries being set up in houses or villages to deliberately draw Israeli fire and no matter how careful the Israel soldiers were they could not help killing or wounding a few innocent people forced to stay there by the Muslim terrorists.
When I was growing up in England we could rely on the BBC to report the news without bias I’m not sure when it was that the BBC diverted from its policy of no bias and began to attack Israel at every possible opportunity with lies and distortions. At one point the BBC correspondent in Gaza spoke to a crowd of radical Muslims and assured them that the press was on the Muslim side fighting with the Palestinians against the Israelis. The BBC dismissed his speech as “his own opinion.” But aren’t reporters supposed to report the news. Since when are they supposed to make the news?
The number of anti-Israel news reports on TV and in print is staggering. There is a constant onslaught of lies. No wonder so many people doubt the sincerity of the Israelis.
May I suggest that you go to one site that endeavors to sort out the truth from lies when it comes to reporting about Israel?
honestreporting.com and
Jihadwatch
Muslims export death – Israel exports life
Do you remember the song from the 60s,
When it’s Spring again
I’ll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam.
The tulips only grow in Holland in late April or early May. Yet whenever you visit the flower market you’ll find beautiful tulips for sale. The truth is that they are grown in Israel and flown to Holland every day.
You’ll find Israeli refrigerators and other appliances in all of the Arab countries. They first go across the border to Jordan where the manufacturers plates are changed to show them being manufactured in Jordan.
The best of the tomatoes in the British Greengrocer stores come from Israel. Israeli bananas find an eager market in Paris. And so it goes on.
Israelis export life to Jordan. If you take the road from the Dead Sea to Galilee and look to your right you’ll see the Jordan River, a glistening snake reflecting the sunlight. And on both sides of the Jordan there are miles and miles of farms producing everything from cucumbers to lettuce and from corn to cabbages. The Israeli government has been sending specialists to help the Jordanians plant Israeli seeds and nurture them by means of the Israeli drip system of watering through tiny tubes containing nutrients. Israel has done the same for many countries in Africa, Central America and Asia.
Did you see that report on CNN about the Israeli field hospital set up in Haiti within 24 hours of the earthquake while it took the American government six days to get organized? In fact Israel is first on the disaster scene all over the world. It’s amazing for a tiny country surrounded by enemies and fighting for her own survival.
Yet I always remember that man in London who owned a Jewish Deli. When I asked him how are things for Jews in London these days he said “Not so bad, but no matter how many times I wash my hands they always call me a Dirty Jew.”
Salaam only sounds like Shalom
The two words are similar because they come from the same route in Semitic language but in fact they are very different.
