With A Straight Face, Obama Compares Israel-Palestinian Conflict To U.S.-Canada Relationship

Despite the flatteries he showered on Israel over past couple of days, Barack Obama’s understanding of the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict specifically still remains completely detached from reality …

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “He’s got a point. Turn on Canadian TV anytime, and you’re liable to see some fanatical Church of Canada preacher preaching a fiery sermon about how all Canadians must pray and work for America’s destruction, and how Canadian mothers should thank God for their children who get killed while in the process of murdering Americans. Just think about all those Canadians who throw rocks at U.S. border guards, blow themselves up at border checkpoints, and talk about how from Seattle to Key West, Canada will be free.

Got to hand it to Barack Obama. He’s an analyst of unusual acuity. We are so lucky to have him as President.” Source – Jihad Watch.

MK Yogev: Two-State Solution Delusional – “MK Motti Yogev (Jewish Home) responded to the Hamas rocket fire from Gaza, ‘this morning’s rocket fire is the best Israeli PR in time for the visit of President Obama, witnessed worldwide. This is why we must not withdraw from Judea and Samaria. This is the Land given to us by G-d, and the two-state solution is contradictory to the Eternity of Israel, and is completely detached from reality.'” Source – INN.

Former Muslim: Islam Is “Not Merely A Religion But A Cult Belief System” Of A Man — “The Cult Of Muhammad”

Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count [‘psēphizō‘ – reckon] the number [‘arithmos‘ – multitude] of the beast: for it is the number [‘arithmos‘ – multitude] of a man; and his number [‘arithmos‘ – multitude] is ‘χξς‘ …”

Exegetically and hermeneutically, the “number” (arithmos) of the Beast does not necessitate the use of mathematics or gammatria to “reckon” what it is, as many prophecy teachers have often assumed. The reason for this is simple. The word “arithmos” is used a total of 18 times in the New Testament, and aside from Revelation 5:11 when John is referring to the number of angels around the throne of God, every other time “arithmos” is used it is always referring to a group of people. This therefore suggests that the understanding intended by John is again referring us to a specific group of people, as in “the multitude of the beast: for it is the multitude of a man.” But what man would that be and who are the people associated with him? First, there is absolutely nothing in the text telling us that the man who John was referring to must be someone alive at that specific time of the end, another assumption often espoused by many teachers. Second, the Greek word “chi-xi-stigma” — which is often translated as “666″ — is nearly identical to the Arabic Bismallah, which means “In The Name Of Allah”. Thirdly, of significance is the fact that in order to convert to “Allah’s religion” one must recite the Islamic creed, called the Shahada, by declaring that “There is no god but Allah, and MOHAMMED is his messenger.” Without Christ, there can be no Christianity. Likewise, without Mohammed, there can be no Islam. Thus, if one does not acknowledge the man Mohammed, they cannot become a Muslim and will not be counted as part of the people of Islam — the Ummah. In this light, it therefore only stands to reason that “the number (multitude) of a man” is not referring to an eschatonic Antichrist, but rather to Mohammed — the founder and (false) prophet of Islam — whose teachings even today, and in increasing measure, continues to force all those under Islamic rule to worship Allah — the god of Islam — who should otherwise be killed if they refuse …

Revelation 13:15, “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.”

By Clare M. Lopez, Islam Watch – “The Iraqi-born native Arabic-speaker who goes by the name ‘I. Q. Rassooli’ has lived in Europe since his university days studying engineering in England. His mind is an inquiring and a questioning one, characteristics not much appreciated among the conformist Muslim community of his origins. And so he stayed in the West and, for the next 23 years, undertook ‘as thorough a study of Islam as humanly possible,’ as he says.

His research and analysis about Muhammad, the Qur’an, Hadiths, Shariah, Arab and Islamic history, and a comparative, contrasting study of those with the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, Zoroastrian (Persian) beliefs, pagan Arab religions and more culminated in a thesis that no publisher would print. Instead, al-Rassooli created a website, www.inthenameofallah.org that now contains over 780 chapters. He also put up over 280 audio/video chapters on YouTube that collectively received over 1.59 million visitors and 3,976 subscribers in the two years before YouTube removed took them down. Luckily, al-Rassooli had them all backed up on his blog site at www.the-koran.blogspot.com and he then put them back up on YouTube under another name. His website is at www.alrassooli.com

Al-Rassooli also founded a movement called the Ummat al Kuffar (Nation of Infidels) that he hopes will develop and grow, given that some 80% of all humanity are not Muslims but rather the object of Islamic supremacist conquest intentions. He says his mission is the exposure of the facts and reality about Islam, based on the primary Arabic language sources themselves.
