Saudi Cleric Warns Saudi Government

U.S. media is reporting that Salman Al-Oadah, a Saudi cleric close to the Global Muslim Brotherhood, has issued a warning to Saudi Arabian government that violence will erupt unless certain changes are carried out. According to a CNN report:

CNN March 18, 2013 — Updated 0453 GMT) — One of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent and popular clerics has issued a stark warning to the Saudi government, saying it must take serious steps toward instituting reform, stamping out corruption and releasing political detainees ‘before violence is kindled.’ In an open letter published online over the weekend, Salman Al-Oadah described a rising tide of anger in the deeply conservative kingdom, writing that ‘negative feelings have been accumulating for a long time’ in Saudi Arabia. ‘When tempers are high,’ added Al-Oadah, ‘religious, political and cultural symbols lose their value. The mob in the street takes control.’ Al-Oadah, a conservative preacher who has more than 2 million followers on Twitter, was jailed from 1994 until 1999 as a result of his calls for political change and creation of an opposition group. His letter comes one week after two of Saudi Arabia’s leading human rights activists were given lengthy jail sentences and at a time when the number of dissenting voices there has been growing. Saudi Arabia, where protests are prohibited, never experienced the kind of unrest that took root in the region as a result of the Arab Spring. Yet small-scale demonstrations have become more and more frequent in the past several months. Protesters have repeatedly gathered to demand the release of jailed relatives they say have been held for years without having been charged, tried or given access to lawyers. Al-Oadah addresses the issue of political prisoners extensively in his letter, writing that, ‘no one should be left in detention except for those who have clear and legitimate evidence brought against them.’ Rights activists accuse Saudi Arabia’s Interior Ministry of having detained thousands of citizens in connection with the country’s counterterrorism efforts and say anger there is at an all-time high as a result. Last month, 161 protesters were arrested in Buraidah outside the city’s Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution. A police spokesman called the demonstration ‘an attempt to turn public opinion by taking advantage of those who have been accused and convicted of activities of the deviant groups.’ The term ‘deviant groups’ is the language typically used by the Saudi government when referring to terrorist groups. Just days earlier, dozens of women were arrested in the same city for staging a sit-in. Among their demands: the release of their relatives and the ouster of the country’s interior minister, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef. In one amateur video posted online, female protesters burned a picture of Prince Mohammed, a particularly brazen act in such an absolute monarchy — one that Al-Oadah addresses in his letter. ‘The recent burning of officials’ pictures is a symbolic act that should give us some pause to think,’ writes Al-Oadah, ‘What got it started? Where is this all going?’ All in all, Al-Oadah paints a bleak picture of the situation in Saudi Arabia, writing that ’causes of societal distress include: financial and administrative corruption, unemployment, inadequate housing, poverty, substandard health care and education, and dim prospects for political reform.’”

Salman Al-Audah (aka Salman al-Oadah, Salman Bin Fahd Al Ouda, Salman Al-`Udah, Salman Al Awda) was until recently known to be a sympathizer of Osama Bin Laden but, likely under pressure from the Saudi government, has moderated his public positions and has been a regular feature at Global Muslim Brotherhood events.

[Editor’s Note: This does not necessarily entail the beliefs, thoughts, or theories of the local Act chapters or the National Act office…they are my beliefs, thoughts and/or theories. Thanks to my friend, Joel Richardson, he has looked and researched the possibility of Saudi Arabia being the Mystery Babylon that Revelation 17:5 that says, “And upon her forehead was the name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” The Book of Revelation tells us that the “harlot” will be destroyed. Along with the harlot, there is a beast with seven heads and ten horns, that SUPPORTS her.

Now, quickly will try to pass this information on…the harlot is an apostate bunch of believers, the seven heads is a city on seven hills, and the ten horns are ten kingdoms (governments in today’s language/context) that have not been given their “crowns” at that time. Now, I am thinking (through a little research) the beast that SUPPORTS the harlot (or the apostate Christians of ALL denominations) could very well be the Muslim Brotherhood. And the MYSTERY BABYLON the Apostle John could be referring to Mecca, and not the Vatican as most Christians believe. There are a lot of scriptures used to “support” the Vatican theory, however, most theologians do not look at the fact that the Biblical anti-Christ is Islamic (which goes, once again, against their believes it’s the Pope). The Bible shows it is an Islamic anti-Christ, and he isn’t going to go to the Vatican, but he will go to Mecca…one of the holy places for Muslims, mandated to pilgrim to it, and on seven hills. Mystery Babylon has a great possibility of being Saudi Arabia, possibly being confirmed by this blog.

I say the supporting beast could be the Muslim Brotherhood because, with the anti-Christ being Islamic, and the entire goal of Islam is to take over the world, the Muslim Brotherhood come into view. Reason they’re in the spotlight is because they are currently trying to take over countries and make them full, hard core, Islamic, Shari’a countries. Let me name the ones that the Muslim Brotherhood has already conquered…Egypt and Palestine. Here are the ones they are trying to conquer currently…Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Jordan, Syria, Tunisia, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. This makes ten countries…coincidence? You decide.

Hijab for a day: Non-Muslim women who try the headscarf

By Catrin Nye BBC Asian Network

Jess Rhodes, with and without her hijab

World Hijab Day calls on non-Muslim women to try out life under the traditional head scarf. Can it lead to more religious tolerance and understanding?

“Because I’m not very skilled I’m wearing what you could call a one-piece hijab – you just pull it over your head. But I’ve discovered the scope is endless. There are all sorts of options.”

So says Jess Rhodes, 21, a student from Norwich in the UK. She had always wanted to try a headscarf but, as a non-Muslim, didn’t think it an option. So, when given the opportunity by a friend to try wearing the scarf, she took it.

“She assured me that I didn’t need to be Muslim, that it was just about modesty, although obviously linked to Islam, so I thought, ‘why not?’”

Rhodes is one of hundreds of non-Muslims who will be wearing the headscarf as part of the first annual World Hijab Day on 1 February.

Originated by New York woman Nazma Khan, the movement has been organised almost solely over social networking sites. It has attracted interest from Muslims and non-Muslims in more than 50 countries across the world.

For many people, the hijab is a symbol of oppression and divisiveness. It’s a visible target that often bears the brunt of a larger debate about Islam in the West.

World Hijab Day is designed to counteract these controversies. It encourages non-Muslim women (or even Muslim women who do not ordinarily wear one) to don the hijab and experience what it’s like to do so, as part of a bid to foster better understanding.

“Growing up in the Bronx, in NYC, I experienced a great deal of discrimination due to my hijab,” says organiser Khan, who moved to New York from Bangladesh aged 11. She was the only “hijabi” (a word for someone who wears the headscarf) in her school.

“In middle school I was ‘Batman’ or ‘ninja,’” she says.

“When I moved on to college it was just after 9/11, so they would call me Osama Bin Laden or terrorist. It was awful.

“I figured the only way to end discrimination if we ask our fellow sisters to experience hijab themselves”
Nazma Khan World Hijab day founder

Khan had no idea the concept would result in support from all over the world. She says she has been contacted by people in dozens of countries, including the UK, Australia, India, Pakistan, France and Germany. The group’s literature has been translated into 22 languages.

It was social networking that got Jess Rhodes involved. Her friend Widyan Al Ubudy lives in Australia and asked her Facebook friends to participate.

“My parents, their natural reaction was to wonder if this was a good idea,” says Rhodes, who decided to wear her hijab for a month.

“They were worried I would be attacked in the street because of a lack of tolerance.”

Rhodes herself was concerned about the reaction, but after eight days of wearing the headscarf she has actually been surprised by how positive it has been.

Muslim headscarves

The word hijab comes from the Arabic for veil and is used to describe the headscarves worn by Muslim women. These scarves come in myriad styles and colours. The type most commonly worn in the West is a square scarf that covers the head and neck but leaves the face clear.

The niqab is a veil for the face that leaves the area around the eyes clear. However, it may be worn with a separate eye veil. It is worn with an accompanying headscarf.

The burka is the most concealing of all Islamic veils. It covers the entire face and body, leaving just a mesh screen to see through

The al-amira is a two-piece veil. It consists of a close fitting cap, usually made from cotton or polyester, and an accompanying tube-like scarf.

The shayla is a long, rectangular scarf popular in the Gulf region. It is wrapped around the head and tucked or pinned in place at the shoulders.

The khimar is a long, cape-like veil that hangs down to just above the waist. It covers the hair, neck and shoulders completely, but leaves the face clear.

The chador, worn by many Iranian women when outside the house, is a full-body cloak. It is often accompanied by a smaller headscarf underneath.

“I can’t explain it really but people have been really very helpful, especially in shops,” she says.

Esther Dale, 28, lives in the US state of California and is another non-Muslim trying out the headscarf for the day. The mother-of-three was told about the event by a friend of hers who is a “hijabi”.

As a practising Mormon, Dale understands the importance of faith in daily life, and the judgment that can come with the associated clothing.

She says she knows the stigma that surround the headscarf and hopes this is an opportunity to help combat that. (Too bad the true God, Yahveh, warns the people not to follow after any false religion)

“I knew that it’s about modesty of behaviour, not just clothing, and that it’s a faulty assumption that women only wear it if they’re forced to – especially in the US. That’s not at all the truth,” she says.

“It’s a good chance to educate people that you can’t make an accurate judgment about someone based solely on what they’re wearing,” says Dale.

The hijab has been a frequent target of criticism from people like Maryam Namazie, a vocal ex-Muslim and campaigner, who sees the garment as a form of oppression.

Hijabs on display at a market. The term comes from the Arabic word for ‘veil’ or ‘screen’

“Millions of women and girls have been harassed, fined, intimidated and arrested for ‘improper’ veiling over the past several decades,” she wrote in a blog post about the Iranian women’s football team’s hijabs.

“Anyone who has ever taken an Iran Air flight will verify how quickly veils are removed the minute the airplane leaves Iranian airspace.

“And anyone who knows anything about Iran knows the long and hard struggle that has taken place against compulsory veiling and sex apartheid.”

Organisers of this event say they were fed up with seeing the words “oppressed” or “subjugated” when it came to discussing the Muslim head-covering.

They reject the notion that women only wear hijabs at the insistence of a father or a radical member of the family.

This day, then, is about showing the world that women can choose the hijab willingly.

Rhodes says it’s a choice she will continue to make.

“I will wear it from time to time,” she says of her hijab. “I’m saying to the world, my beauty is for my family and my partner. Any woman can wear this.”

[Editor’s Note: This shows that the Biblical anti-Christ spirit is taking over the West already. Pure Dhimmitude. Now the Qur’an and Hadiths and the Sira tells Muslims not to befriend Infidels (non-Muslims), not do to anything with infidels (non-Muslims) because it is against the “peaceful” and “tolerant” god allah (satan himself), unless they think they can “show them the way to allah” (convert them to Islam)…in infidel terms, this is actually called coercion.

Now, with the West participating in the "Hijab for a Day" event, so infidels can see what its like to wear one…and with Jess Rhodes’ testimony that “after eight days of wearing the headscarf she has actually been surprised by how positive it has been”, shows that Western countries have, to a point, submitted to Islam by showing them (by wearing or allowing women to wear the allah commanded “modesty garb”) a scared attitude, and basically allowing Muslims to do whatever they want because of this true fact…Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims, and the Western population is afraid of the 25% (at least through polls) of the Islamic population that will pull violent jihad.]

Muslim Brotherhood Puts Jordan in the Crosshairs

December 5, 2012

In March, the Dubai police chief warned that the Muslim Brotherhood had a plan for the Gulf monarchies. Instead of regime change, it would make them “figurehead bodies without actual ruling.” That’s exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to make happen in Jordan by demanding “democratic” reforms. And King Abdullah II appears to be wobbling under the stress.

King Abdullah II, the second most influential non-Islamist in the Muslim world, is hinting that he may bow to the Muslim Brotherhood’s demand that he delay the parliamentary elections scheduled for January 23. He is even considering appointing Brotherhood members to the upper house of parliament and amending the electoral law to their liking.

The Muslim Brotherhood says it will boycott the elections because the parliament doesn’t have enough power and the contests are unfair. They are biased towards tribes and against the majority Palestinian population. King Abdullah II appoints the entire upper house and has the power to hire and fire prime ministers at will. The new electoral law also permits the security services to vote, bumping him up about 10% in any contest.

The Brotherhood is also unhappy with the makeup of the parliament. Voters pick a national list, which accounts for 17 of 140 seats and the rest are chosen on the district level. The Brotherhood only runs on the national list so it wants the balance changed. Abdullah tried to appease the Islamists by increasing the allotment for the national lists to 27 seats but added 10 seats to the size of parliament. The Brotherhood seeks 42 seats for national lists.

The pressure on Abdullah and his government skyrocketed in recent months with the largest protests in Jordan’s history taking place last week. The country faces a $3.35 billion deficit and about 80% of the budget goes to the military and bureaucracy. Abdullah had to cut subsidies, causing a 53% increase in the cost of heating gas and 12% spike in the price of petrol. The price of electricity is expected to increase about 32% in January.

The Brotherhood officially advocates “evolution, not revolution” but chants demanding the fall of the government are increasingly common. Direct criticism of Abdullah is a new development. In four days of protests last month, 280 were arrested, 75 were injured including 58 police officers and one young man was killed in Irbid when a crowd tried to storm a police station. Casualties have the power to turn protests against policies into cries for changes in leadership.

Hamza Mansour is the Secretary-General of the Islamic Action Front, the name of the Brotherhood party in Jordan. He wants Abdullah to “form a national salvation government that would include Islamists and other opposition figures to change controversial legislation, like the election law, and help parliament regain its independence so that it can impartially monitor the government and official corruption.” If the Brotherhood can expose government corruption, it will be able to undercut support for the government and present itself as a more trustworthy alternative.

The “democratic” reforms that the Brotherhood seeks are part of the same strategy of “gradualism” that it has followed in Egypt. It observed that the monarchies have proven to be stronger than the dictatorships, so it changed strategy by declining to demand the resignation of the leadership. It is important to recognize the undemocratic voice shouting for democratic reforms.

The Jordanian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood demands that the peace treaty with Israel scrapped and in June, its website said Israel is a “stinking and festering boil” that will be eliminated in “not too many years.” The group wasn’t envisioning a Soviet-style peaceful collapse. It predicted that “future mujahideen will rid humanity of it.”

It opposed the sending of Jordanian soldiers to Afghanistan in support of the U.S.-led war against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban and wants Abdullah to sever all cooperation with the CIA and “Zionist” intelligence services. It says that the “real fascist terrorism is the Zionist terrorism.” Osama Bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam, was a member of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood.

The top two Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood leaders are designated as unindicted co-conspirators in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for financing Hamas. Jordanian Brotherhood leader Sheikh Hammam Saeed and Islamic Action Front leader Hamza Mansour are listed as fundraisers for the charity. Saeed’s son released a video warning about his father’s evil and a family friend confirmed that he “is indeed a very manipulative man who plays well on words.”

The Brotherhood’s power grab in Egypt may undermine its support in Jordan and other countries, but it leads a diversified opposition and, as Abdullah told the Wall Street Journal, they are “the only people who are organized.” Unions are now involved in the protests and Abdullah is starting to lose tribal support.

The Brotherhood’s success in Jordanian elections is mixed. In 1989, it was the largest bloc in the lower house of parliament with 22 out of 80 seats and other Islamists won an additional 14. Just prior to the 1993 elections, the Jordanian government banned parties with foreign ties. The Brotherhood therefore renamed its political branch as the Islamic Action Front, the name it still holds today, and won 17 of 80 seats. In the last elections in 2007, the Islamic Action Front lost 11 seats, winning only six of 100.

The struggle within Jordan is coming to a head. A senior Islamic Action Front official said in July that it will put together a shadow government and parliament if Abdullah does not begin implementing reforms. The United Arab Emirates, which has publicly suggested forming a coalition against the Brotherhood, is talking to other Gulf Cooperation Council members about coming to Jordan’s economic rescue.

Expect the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and its non-Muslim partners to begin condemning King Abdullah II, especially if there are more casualties during the protests. They’ll assure us that the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood is reasonable, as it is only seeking “reform” instead of regime collapse. This is nothing but an adjustment to reality on the Brotherhood’s part.

The West must learn the lesson of Egypt. Jordan’s Brotherhood may take a different path but the destination is the same.

California Church to Become Site of Islamist Convention

November 30, 2012 By Ryan Mauro

The Muslim Public Affairs Council’s choice of location for its 12th Annual Convention on December 15 is telling: The All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena, California. The group, founded by Muslim Brotherhood followers, says this is the “next step in its mission by crossing the interfaith line.” Yet again, the Islamists are taking advantage of naïve Christians with a desire to show off their tolerance.

The All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena started an Interfaith Study Group in 2007 with the Pasadena Jewish Temple and the Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC), from which MPAC originated. The organization was founded as a branch of ICSC in 1986 and then became independent in 1988, though the two remain intertwined. The ICSC is proud of its interfaith successes. For example, the First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica is allowing the ICSC to hold Friday prayers there every week.

The story of MPAC begins with Hassan and Maher Hathout, the former of whom died in 2009. The brothers became active with the Muslim Brotherhood at an early age, with Hassan Hathout saying that its founder, Hassan al-Banna, is “the person who most influenced my life” and that “centuries might roll over before a similar personality is produced.” Maher Hathout was arrested in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood was banned, and released in 1968. Three years later, they moved to Buffalo, New York and went to California to establish the ICSC in 1978.

Hassan Hathout says they sought to begin the “Islamic Movement” in the U.S., a term the Brotherhood uses to describe its ideology. In 1997, he predicted its success because “America needs Islam. If you look objectively you will see that this current civilization harbors in its body the seeds of its own destruction.” The language is very similar to that of a 1991 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood strategy document where it defines its “work in America as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” Another U.S. Muslim Brotherhood document from 1989 from its Financial Committee refers to a person with the last name of Hathout as someone “in the field.”

Maher Hathout has served as a senior adviser to MPAC since its beginning at the ICSC in 1986 and is still a spokesman for the mosque. The ICSC recommends the work of Sheikh Yousef al-Qaradawi, a senior Brotherhood cleric that supports terrorism, Hamas and preaches a strategy of “gradualism” towards implementing Sharia Law. It also suggests a book on Islamic law called Fiqh-us-Sunnah authored by Brotherhood member Sayyid Saabiq under the guidance of Hassan al-Banna.

In 1998, Maher Hathout defended Hezbollah as “legitimate,” saying they are “fighting to liberate their land.” He also entertains 9/11 conspiracy theories suggesting that the U.S. government is lying about the identities of the hijackers. The current President of MPAC, Salam al-Marayati, likewise said in 1999 that Hezbollah engages in “legitimate resistance.” His immediate response to the 9/11 attacks were to point his finger at Israel.

MPAC’s former Political Director, Mahdi Bray, used to lead the Muslim American Society’s Freedom Foundation. The Muslim American Society is a Brotherhood front. He spoke in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2007 during a visit to Egypt. In March 2004, he condemned the killing of Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin as “state-sponsored terrorism.” In 2000, he stood on stage as Abdurrahman Alamoudi, who later was convicted on terrorism-related charges, publicly praised Hamas and Hezbollah. He joined the crowd in their displays of approval.

MPAC’s Policy and Programming Director, Edina Lekovic, was the editor of a Muslim student magazine in the 1990s called Al-Talib. In July 1999, it told Muslims to defend Osama Bin Laden when he’s called a “terrorist” because he’s a “freedom fighter.” By that time, Al-Qaeda had already declared war on the U.S. and bombed the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Al-Talib management also told readers to reject the “twentieth-century version of Islam in the West,” an Islamist theme. Lekovic’s name also appears on an issue from May 1999 alleging that the Holocaust was exaggerated.

In 2003, MPAC stood against the labeling of Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations. In March 2009, demonstrators at an MAC-sponsored rally chanted in support of Hamas and the elimination of Israel. A policy paper from 2010 titled Building Bridges to Strengthen America treats the Muslim Brotherhood favorably, calling it a “conservative” group that can help the U.S. combat terrorism.

MPAC’s initial reaction to the recent fighting between Israel and Hamas was to accuse Israel of “assassination of Palestinian leaders, destruction of Gazan infrastructure and the gross killings of Palestinian civilians, including women and children.” The statement did not condemn Hamas. Instead, it legitimized the terrorist group by saying Israel is guilty of the “greatest act of violence” and is responsible for the ongoing conflict.

On November 24, MPAC changed its tune a bit in a joint statement with the Abrahamic Faiths Peacemaking Initiative that called on both Israel and Hamas to end their attacks. It said, “There is no excuse for the indiscriminate firing of rockets onto civilians, nor terrorism.”

MPAC explains that the holding of its convention at the All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena is a reflection of its focus on winning allies among other faiths. It boasts of establishing partnerships with the National Association of Evangelicals, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Catholic Archdiocese, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Union of Reform Judaism and other faith groups. MPAC and similar groups like the Islamic Society of North America have created an interfaith bloc willing to defend them against Rep. Michele Bachmann and other opponents.

If MPAC’s convention is like past ones, Islamists will again be given a platform to rally Muslims to their cause, but this time, it won’t be in a mosque or a hotel conference room. It’ll be from a church pulpit.

OBAMA FACILITATING A GLOBAL CALIPHATE AND MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD IN USA

Friday, October 05, 2012

Posted on 5 Oct 12 by noiri blogspot

[Editor’s Note: This is my views, and not that necessarily of the local Act chapters or the National Act office…these views are stemmed from my religious belief, being a Reverend, and commanded from Jehovah, Elohim, the Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (not the God of Abraham, Ishmael and Esau)…I follow what the Holy Bible, God’s word tells us…

“FOR THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND WICKEDNESS OF THOSE MEN WHO IN WICKEDNESS HOLD BACK THE TRUTH OF GOD.”
ROMANS 1:18

So, I will follow Jehovah’s word and tell the truth…and the truth is, in Ezekiel 38-39, that there will be a war…this war will entail Israel against a large enemy…this war is called Gog and Magog…in the Word of God, it tells us the nations that will be in the war against Israel…it lists Rosh (Russia, Southern Russia which is high in Muslim populace), Magog (which is Central Asia, {Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and northern parts of Afghanistan}), Meshech and Tubal (which is parts of Turkey), Persia (which is Iran), Cush (which is Sudan and Ethiopia), Put (which is Libya), Gomer and Beth-togarmah (which again is parts of Turkey) and “Many peoples with you” (Possibly Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt {Egypt has vowed, with the recent Muslim Brotherhood president, that they will take over Jerusalem for the caliphate}).

In Psalms 83, it talks about the nations that come against Israel are the tents of Edom (Palestine and southern Jordan), the Ishmaelites (Saudi Arabia), the Moabites (part of the Edomites, Palestine and Southern Jordan), the Hagrites (Egyptians), the Gebalites (could be Hezbollah and for sure, Southern Lebanon), the Ammonites (which is again part of Palestine and this time Northern Jordan), the Amalekites (Arabs of the Sinai area), Philistia (which could be Hamas), Tyre (which could be Hezbollah, but also is Northern Lebanon) and the Assyrians (Syria and Northern Iraq)

As you see, the Gog and Magog war will be Muslim countries going against Israel…as you already know that these countries are already wanting to go against Israel, and they have done that in the past as well, but lost. Yahweh has protected Israel in the past, and will do it again. I feel the enemy will be taken by surprise when a volcano in Saudi Arabia (Harrat Ash-Shamahhits) them and the molten lava and gasses take them over. But this is just my thoughts.

Saleem: Obama Establishing Islamic Shadow Government

[Editor’s Note: I received this youtube video, actually through a newsletter that I received so I know what CAIR is saying about people that are telling the world the truth about Islam…it’s the Islamophobe newsletter…the group that is doing the Islamophobe newsletter does nothing but tries to whitewash Islam and say that people like Pamela Geller and Robert Spenser are just Muslim haters and bigots…

But we already know that Barack Hussein Obama is running a covert, black ops, shadow, Muslim government…after all, he was, to a point, put in office by the Muslim Brotherhood as their inside Trojan horse…

An electromagnetic pulse attack — the ‘other’ Iranian nuclear threat

 

Some experts say Tehran may be preparing for an EMP strike — which could ‘fry’ electrical grids, with devastating consequences

By David Shamah October 14, 2012

Just what might happen if the Iranians got their hands on a nuclear weapon? Would they fire it at an Israeli city, causing tens or hundreds of thousands of casualties? Or would they use it as a geopolitical weapon, seeking to dominate the Middle East and forcing the hand of Western powers, either subtly or by overtly threatening death and destruction to those who fail to heed their dictates?

While political scientists and world leaders have debated the likelihood of those two possibilities, there is a third plausible scenario: The use of a nuclear weapon by Iran to carry out an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack against Israel, the US, or Europe. Such an attack could cause severe damage to the electrical grid in the targeted nations, to the extent that the routines of daily life — centered around the use of electrical power — could be halted, for a short or even long period of time.

An EMP is an above-atmosphere level detonation of a nuclear device that produces enough radiation to wreak havoc with electrical systems. The blast produces a very brief but intense electromagnetic field that can quickly induce very high currents in electrical devices, shorting them out. The stronger the electromagnetic field — the “pulse” — the stronger the current, and the more likely electrical devices are to “blow out.” It’s akin to a power surge that shorts out your refrigerator or TV when too much voltage surges through the electrical outlet… on a whole other scale.

While there is much speculation as to what exactly an EMP would do to electrical appliances and digital devices — scientists have differences of opinion over how badly they would be affected (the world hasn’t really experienced a direct EMP blast yet, so much of the speculation is based on educated guesses) — the far-greater concern is what an attack would do to the electrical infrastructure in a targeted area. If an EMP strike is large enough, or there are enough such strikes, the blasts could knock out power plants, electrical substations, and other sensitive equipment, causing a massive power failure that may take weeks or months to overcome. Data centers housing servers would likely be badly damaged as well, as would be communications systems.

The EMP issue is hardly being discussed in Israel, said Dr. Emily Landau, director of the Arms Control and Regional Security Program at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies and a lecturer at Tel Aviv University. “There isn’t much discussion of it right now, but when the discussion does begin, there is no doubt that it will focus on the balance between how much it will cost to deal with, versus how likely such an attack may be,” she said.

Landau, an expert on Iran’s nuclear program, believes that Iran could very well be planning an EMP attack on Israel, based on statements the Iranian regime has made, and actions it has taken. And, she said, Iran would be capable of delivering an EMP attack if it acquired a nuclear weapon.

“Some are skeptical that Iran would use a nuclear bomb just for an EMP attack,” said Landau. “If they already have a nuclear weapon, why not use it for the main purpose for which it was designed? But while a nuclear bomb targeting an Israeli city would cause mass destruction on a local or regional basis, an EMP attack could cause even more lasting damage, destroying Israel’s electrical grid.”

If Iran did opt for an EMP attack, the damage to Israel would be very high, she said. “Iran doesn’t have a nuclear bomb yet, and hopefully they won’t have one, but if they do manage to build a bomb, an EMP attack is a real possibility,” Landau added. “Many people in the US are concerned about EMP now, and although the public discussion hasn’t begun in Israel yet, I expect that it will in the near future.”

The US Congress in 2000 established the Congressional Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack. In 2004, the committee produced a 70-page executive summary on the EMP threat, and it issued a final report on the matter in 2008. According to the report, “several potential adversaries have or can acquire the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication.”

The impact would be devastating, the report said. “EMP is one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences. EMP will cover the wide geographic region within line of sight to the nuclear weapon. It has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures and thus to the very fabric of US society, as well as to the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power,” it said.

Dr. Peter Vincent Pry was lead staffer for the Congressional committee, and he, too, is worried that Iran could use a nuclear bomb to carry out an EMP attack — on Israel and/or the US.

“Iran openly talks about using an EMP to attack Israel or the US,” said Pry, who is currently executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, a privately funded US group that seeks to educate the public and government leaders about the EMP threat to the US. According to Pry, Iran is actively preparing for an EMP attack. “Tehran has undertaken offshore exercises using Scud missiles fired and positioned in such a way that they exploded in the atmosphere — exactly the method you would use for an EMP attack,” he said.

Iran’s arsenal of atomic bombs would be no match for the US, which could obliterate any memory of Islamist Iran in a matter of minutes. But, Pry told The Times of Israel, he believes that Iran could get the most leverage out of a nuclear bomb by using it to trash large parts of the electrical grid in the US, making it easy for the Islamist regime to swoop in and act as it wishes on the world stage. “They could even marshal a major Islamic invasion of Israel, massacring the Jews and ushering in the era of the 12th Imam, the Islamic messiah, whose arrival Iran’s leadership believe is imminent,” Pry suggested grimly.

While EMP is a serious threat, there are steps governments can take to protect their electrical systems, according to Avi Schnurr, chairman and CEO of the Electric Infrastructure Security (EIS) Council, which works with government agencies and power companies worldwide to help coordinate international efforts on electric infrastructure protection.

“In the US, the estimate is that it would cost on the order of $1 billion to make the changes that would protect the power grid against EMP,” he told The Times of Israel. “I don’t have an estimate for Israel, but given the enormous difference in the sizes of the two countries and their power grids, it should be extremely affordable — no more than a fraction of a percent of Israel’s annual electric bill.”

“Hardening” electrical infrastructure against EMP attack would entail making some gradual changes to the power grid, such as the installation of devices like GIC (geomagnetically induced current) blockers.

Even if Iran were not developing a nuclear weapon, protecting the power grid in this manner would be a good idea, said Pry. “You don’t need a nuclear weapon to set off an EMP. You can also easily get a non-nuclear pulse generator,” he said. “They’re perfectly legal. A terrorist could detonate one next to an electrical station and effectively black out a city or region. Such weapons don’t do as much damage as a nuclear pulse does, but they are effective enough.”

In fact, when it comes to EMP, nature itself can be an enemy. “An EMP can be caused by an event like a severe solar storm,” said Pry. Such events have occurred on at least two previous occasions – including in 1859, when the largest recorded geomagnetic storm ever was recorded. British astronomer Richard Carrington observed the storm’s largest flare, which caused a major coronal mass ejection (CME) to travel directly toward the Earth — leading telegraph systems all over Europe and North America to fail, in some cases shocking telegraph operators before blowing out because of the overload of electricity in the wires. (The phenomenon is named the Carrington effect, after the astronomer.)

It takes political will to do what is necessary to protect the grid, said Schnurr, and that will is beginning to show itself in Western countries, including in Israel, which, Schnurr claims, is more aware, and more active in the hardening of its grid, than most countries. “Work is going on associated with protecting the grid,” continued Schnurr. There is a greater degree and breadth of awareness on this issue, which is part of the reason why efforts have been made.”

Cost need not be a barrier, Schnurr stressed. Relatively speaking, “the cost associated with hardening the grid is quite small,” he said. Getting it done, he said, is of the utmost priority, and that will be the great challenge of governments — from Israel to the US, and many others — in the coming period.

A Summary of Comparisons Between the Islamic and Biblical Narratives of the End Times

From “The Islamic Antichrist” by Joel Richardson

[Editor’s Note: This DOES NOT reflect what local Act chapters or the National Act office pass on or teach about…it is a very Christian religious fact that I feel, as a reverend, needs to be passed on. Once again it does not reflect the religious beliefs of local and Nation Act entities.]

Bible: The antichrist (NOT THE POPE as many churches teach…impossible…the anti-Christ will be a military leader, and the false prophet will be the “religious” and political arm of the anti-Christ…the Pope is not a military person, as well as there have been many Popes in the years since Christ, the Bible tells us that there would be one anti-Christ, so how can an organization of religious leaders be put in the solo act of an anti-Christ? The anti-Christ would have to deny Jesus was the Son of God, how can he be a Pope if he does not belief that Jesus Christi is the Son of God?) is an unparalleled political, and military leader that will emerge in the last days.

Islam: The Mahdi is an unparalleled political, and military leader that will emerge in the last days.

Bible: The false prophet is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days who will support the antichrist. (And according to St. Malachy in 1139, had a prophetic vision that showed all the Popes until the 112th Pope…the 112th will be the false prophet for the anti-Christ, we are on the 111th Pope now. This information is not in Joel’s book.)

Islam: The Moslem Jesus (Issa or Isa in Arabic) is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days who will support the mahdi.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet together will have a powerful army that will do great damage to the earth in an effort to subdue every nation and dominate the world.

Islam: The Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus will have a powerful army that will do great damage to the earth in an effort to subdue every nation and dominate the world.

Bible: The false prophet is described essentially as a dragon in lamb’s clothing.

Islam: The Moslem Jesus comes bearing the name of the one that the world knows as “The Lamb of God,” Jesus Christ. Yet the Moslem Jesus comes to murder all those who do not submit to Islam.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet establish a new world order.

Islam: The Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus institute Islamic law all over the earth.

Bible: The antichrist is said to “change the times.”

Islam: It is quite certain that if the Mahdi established Islam all over the earth, he would discontinue the use of Saturday and Sunday as the weekend or days of rest, changing to Friday, the hold day of Islam. Also, he would most certainly eliminate the Gregorian calendar and replace it with the Islamic calendar currently used in every Islamic country.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet will both be powerful religious leaders who will attempt to institute a universal world religion.

Islam: The Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus will institute Islam as the only religion on the earth.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet will execute anyone who does not submit to their world religion.

Islam: Likewise, the Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus will execute anyone who does not submit to Islam.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet will specifically use beheading as the primary means of execution for non-conformists.

Islam: The Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus will use the Islamic practice of beheading for executions.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet will have a specific agenda to kill as many Jews as possible.

Islam: The Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus will kill as many Jews as possible, until only a few are left hiding behind rocks and trees.

Bible: The antichrist and the false prophet will attach to conquer and seize Jerusalem.

Islam: The Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus will attack to conquer and seize Jerusalem for Islam.

Bible: The antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple as his seat of authority.

Islam: The Mahdi will establish the Islamic caliphate from Jerusalem.

Bible: The false prophet is said to do many miracles to deceive as many as possible into supporting the antichrist.

Islam: The Mahdi himself is said to control the weather and the crops. His face is said to glow. We can also assume that since Jesus is viewed as having been empowered by allah to work miracles when he was here on earth the first time, he will most likely be expected to continue to do so when he returns.

Bible: The antichrist is described as ricing on a white horse in the Book of Revelation.

Islam: The Mahdi is described as riding on a white horse (ironically in the same verse).

Bible: The antichrist is said to make a peace treaty with Israel for seven years.

Islam: The Mahdi is said to make a peace treaty through a Jew (specifically a Levite) for exactly seven years.

Bible: Jesus the Jewish Messiah will rerun to defend the Jews in Israel from a military attack from a vast coalition of nations led by the antichrist and the false prophet.

Islam: The Dajjal, the Islamic antichrist, will gain a great Jewish following and claim to be Jesus Christ: He will fight against the Mahdi and the Moslem Jesus.

Bible: The spirit of antichrist specifically denies the most unique and central doctrines of Christianity, namely the Trinity, the incarnation, and the substitutionary death of Jesus on the Cross.

Islam: Islam doctrinally and spiritually specifically denies the most unique and central doctrines of Christianity, namely the Trinity, the incarnation, and the substitutionary death of Jesus on the Cross.

Bible: The primary warning of Jesus and the Apostle Paul was to warn Christians of the abundance of deceit and deception in the last days.

Islam: Islam is perhaps the only religion on earth that practices deceit as on of its tools to assist its own ascendancy. It actually has a specific doctrine that allows and even calls for deception to be used to achieve its desired end.

Bible: The specific nations pictured in the Bible as part of the final empire of the antichrist are all Islamic nations.

Islam: All Moslems are commanded to give their allegiance to the Mahdi as the final caliph and imam (leader) of Islam.

Bible: From the Bible and history we learn that the final antichrist empire will be a revived version of the empire that succeeds the Roman Empire.

Islam: The Empire that succeeded the Roman/Byzantine Empire was the Islamic Ottoman Empire.

Bible: When the antichrist emerges, a system will already exist that is poised to receive his as a savior and to give allegiance to him.

Islam: Islam is already the second-largest religion and will at present growth rates become the largest religion within a few decades. Islam awaits the coming of the Mahdi with universal anticipation.
