The Christian right is committed to spread false information to support the “war efforts” of the arms industry – A Moron is not automatically a Patriot
A lost sheep send us a commentary from August 22, 2007 which was seemingly written by the then 76 year old D. James Kennedy, a right wing Christian like Falwell and obviously just as senile. The interesting thing is, that he does exactly what all right wingers seem to do: he keeps repeating false information and lies in the hope that repetition turns them into truth. Sorry. It is not that easy.
Here is his commentary, which was posted to our website http://www.chocr.com/ on September 24, 2007. Having read of Kennedy’s death on September 5, 2007, it may be safely assumed that he did not post it himself. The only signature the poster left was the link to the website http://www.missiongateministry.org/ , seemingly the home of Rick Mathes who in his report ordained a simple inmate of the prison to the role of an Imam. Not being an Imam, the inmate was expectedly helpless in his responses to the false and dumb accusations Mathes made against Islam, and the fascist Christian right had a new hero who had “slain” the Islamic dragon one more time.
Here the commentary by Kennedy which contains Rick Mathes’ fairytale, and some facts which burst the right wing bubble. Please forgive my remarks in the commentary which state the facts in contrast to the delusion of the original writer: Kennedy calls Mathes a Patriot. He is obviously just ignorant. Being dumb is not the same as being a Patriot and Ignorance is not the same as Patriotism. It might be a good description of the right wing though. A Patriot wants something good for his country and would never support a senseless war that kills thousands of Americans for financial gain of a few. Please check everything stated here for truth. Please also include my remarks in your research, so you will see for yourself which game is being played here by the warmongers among the Holy Christian Ignorance of America. They bank on your ignorance and your laziness to check the facts. Please – in the name of GOD – disappoint them.
As a preface to your reading, here Surah 2:62, like all other Surahs mentioned here, in the translation of Khalifa.
Surah 2:62: Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
So here the message posted to our site. The title is the original Republican slogan and talking point, which is being repeated mindlessly like a religious chant around the country.
Not the Time to Cut and Run
By D. James Kennedy, Ph. D. Christian Post Guest Columnist
Here is a sampling of what the Qur'an teaches, along with the chapter (Surah) and verse in which it is found:
. Muslims must fight until their opponents submit to Islam (Surah 9:29);
Here the Surah 9:29, in the translation of Khalifa, which was – as you can tell - absolutely misquoted by Kennedy. To give a context, I also added the subsequent parts of the Surah up to 9:30, so every reader understands the context of it. It is amazing to me that Muhammad saw himself partially in opposition to the same people we – as a body of Christ and a Church of GOD – face today: the one's who do not believe in and/or do not understand GOD and His word.
Surah 9:31 is a very interesting topic. Mary was brought into the picture in the Middle Ages. Probably because the Statues looked nice. Are we worshipping only one GOD? We, the Christians? The Catholics? I am speaking with GOD. It never crossed my mind to speak to Jesus' mom. Is the Holy Trinity one GOD or did we go Pagan in "making a picture of GOD"? Muhammad's words must also be seen in relation to the cultural background - the tribal system in Mecca and Medina, a very different society than the one existing today, in mostly peaceful coexistence and even allied with Jewish tribes - and also as the law of the desert, that was also written in reaction to certain political incidents. Click here to read the story with Bible quotes (the Bible instructs Christians to kill everyone who works on the sabbath)
9:29 You shall fight back against those who do not believe in GOD, nor in the Last Day, nor do they prohibit what GOD and His messenger have prohibited, nor do they abide by the religion of truth - among those who received the scripture - until they pay the due tax, willingly or unwillingly.
9:30 The Jews said, "Ezra is the son of GOD," while the Christians said, "Jesus is the son of GOD!" These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. They thus match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. GOD condemns them. They have surely deviated.
9:31 They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords, instead of GOD. Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners.
9:32 They want to put out GOD's light with their mouths, but GOD insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers.
9:33 He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of the idol worshipers.
9:34 O you who believe, many religious leaders and preachers take the people's money illicitly, and repel from the path of GOD. Those who hoard the gold and silver, and do not spend them in the cause of GOD, promise them a painful retribution.
9:35 The day will come when their gold and silver will be heated in the fire of Hell, then used to burn their foreheads, their sides, and their backs: "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you have hoarded."
. A man may beat his wife (Surah 4:34)
4:34 The men are made responsible for the women, and GOD has endowed them with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners. The righteous women will cheerfully accept this arrangement, since it is GOD's commandment, and honor their husbands during their absence. If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first talk to them, then (you may use negative incentives like) deserting them in bed, then you may (as a last alternative) beat them. If they obey you, you are not permitted to transgress against them. GOD is Most High, Supreme.
In Christianity the woman did not officially have a soul until recent times, was not allowed in Church and was basically the servant of the man. The punishments of women in so called Christian households were and are visibly similar to the written recommendation in Surah 4:34. No man should ever beat his wife, though.
and have up to four wives at the same time (Surah 4:3);
Here the Surahs 4:1-3, so the context is clear. Seeing the background of the time when the Qur'an was written, polygamy made good sense. As well as the polygamy in biblical times and in the Bible.
4:1 O people, observe your Lord; the One who created you from one being, and created from it its mate, then spread from the two many men and women. You shall regard GOD, by whom you swear, and regard the parents. GOD is watching over you.
4:2 You shall hand over to the orphans their rightful properties. Do not substitute the bad for the good, and do not consume their properties by combining them with yours. This would be a gross injustice.
4:3 If you deem it best for the orphans, you may marry their mothers - you may marry two, three, or four. If you fear lest you become unfair, then you shall be content with only one, or with what you already have. Additionally, you are thus more likely to avoid financial hardship.
. Stealing is punished by the amputation of the hands (Surah 5:38);
5:38 The thief, male or female, you shall mark their hands as a punishment for their crime, and to serve as an example from GOD. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
5:39 If one repents after committing this crime, and reforms, GOD redeems him. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
It is abundantly clear that the thief has the chance to repent before their hands are marked and that they can avoid this measure just by repenting. Muhammad has been very forgiving during his time, and refused to kill or have opponents killed. Much to the dismay of people of his and other religions surrounding him. The following claim goes back to an incident when Muhammad was supposed to be killed by pagan adversaries.
. Resisting Islam is punishable by death, crucifixion, amputation, or imprisonment (Surah 5:33).
5:33 The just retribution for those who fight GOD and His messenger, and commit horrendous crimes, is to be killed, or crucified, or to have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or to be banished from the land. This is to humiliate them in this life, then they suffer a far worse retribution in the Hereafter.
5:34 Exempted are those who repent before you overcome them. You should know that GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Again, the enemy can repent, even after commit horrendous crimes against Muhammad's own people, and may be forgiven without punishment. Are we Christians this merciful? Do we think our GOD is this merciful? I know, personally I think, GOD is this merciful. Others obviously want to wage war against those who did not commit any crimes. And this merciful description of GOD leads Kennedy to the conclusion:
This is hardly what you would call a religion of peace!
Ah...
As early as the seventh century, Muslim forces led campaigns to spread Islam across the Middle East. At one time the Islamic Empire eclipsed that of the Roman Empire. However, attempts by Muslim forces to push their way into Christian Europe were stymied by the famous 732 a.d. Battle of Tours in France. Charles Martel, popularly known as "Charles the Hammer," led this battle against the Muslim armies and is largely credited for preventing Europe from succumbing to Islam's control. Today, militant Islamists are back and willing to lay down their lives to destroy both Europe and America. The president of Iran has promised that, "The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world." Now is not the time to cut and run. Now is not the time for retreat. We need patriots and Christians like "Charles the Hammer," to rise up and oppose those who would destroy this country.
The president of Iran has been deeply insulted in recent days. I don't want to defend him and his actions and remarks, I just think that you should respect everyone as a human being. The deeper goal is to actually start a new war against Iran to funnel more money from the US social security funds into the pockets of the arms industry, not any feigned nuclear concerns. And the wave of the Crusades and Conquests in GOD's name was more than violent. If the Islamic revolution will be violent is really an interesting question. Is our great country really afraid of a few sheiks in the desert? Why did Bush try to hand over six of our ports to the United Arab Emirates (where two of the 9-11 Terrorists came from - the rest came from Saudi Arabia, Bush's closest and probably only friend in the world), if the countries in that part of the world are so dangerous? Is he repaying a 9-11 favor to the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates? Or why are we letting Osama go, don't deal with North Korea and many others, and just focus on the "oily" part of the world? When will we attack Venezuela and Mexico?
The fact of the Battle of Tours is true. 1,500 casualties on the side of the Europeans and about 10,000 on the side of the Muslims. The only part of western Europe that was actually held by the Muslims was Spain. And there they lived in peaceful coexistence with Christians for many centuries. A few religious fanatics tried successfully to provoke the Muslims into making them Martyrs, but the regular folk got along well and enjoyed the cultural exchange. Please follow this link to compare the battle of Tours with the slaughter of the crusades, when Europeans went to plunder, rape and ravish the Arab world to enrich themselves with Gold. The crusades. We should not forget the "conquest" of the Inca Empire by the Spanish Conquistadores who - in the name of GOD - took care of the Extinction of an entire culture and people. Did I mention the conquest of the United States by the Europeans in the name of GOD, who lied to, stole from and killed as many of the native Americans as they could. And again: ignorance can not substitute facts of history.
Rick Mathes, chairman of Mission Gate Prison Ministry in Missouri is a real Christian patriot standing up for the truth. Several years ago Mathes participated in a training session in which Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim clerics explained their respective beliefs to inmates.
Afterwards, during a question and answer period, Mathes asked the Muslim imam this question: "I understand that most imams and clerics of the Islamic faith have declared a holy jihad (that is a holy war) against the infidels of the world-and that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an 'infidel'?" As Mathes recounts, the imam answered immediately: "A non-believer."
It is amazing that the question contains several questions which are implied to be answered positively without actually asking them. By the way, I doubt that there is a jihad against infidels and that killing an infidel gets anyone a place in heaven. I think it is more a retaliation to what is being done to them by so called Christians who do not follow the Bible, any commandments and are only living for their greed, and as a retaliation by what we, the US are doing to them, their countries and their families. If the tables were turned we would fight them with all we have on our soil. And rightfully so. This would be self defense. In addition the question is basically only phrased by an idiot to trick an idiot. I can't imagine an Imam falling for this kind of cheap rhetoric. A member of my Church would definitely not fall for that sheepish question.
"So, let me make sure I have this straight," Mathes said. "All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith, so that they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?" The imam sheepishly answered: "Yes."
There was no Imam present.
Mathes, not surprisingly, told the imam he had a problem with being his friend when he, his fellow clerics and followers, wanted to kill him.
"Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to Heaven, or my Jesus, who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven, and He wants you to be there with me?" Mathes asked.
The imam offered no answer.
And again: Rick Mathes ordained in his report a simple inmate of the prison to the role of an Imam. Not being an Imam, the inmate was expectedly helpless in his responses to the false and dumb accusations Mathes made against Islam.
There needs to be more champions like Mathes who are willing to stand against those who spread deceptive teachings. I believe such patriots exist. I also believe that America is not going to cut and run. I believe that we are going to take our stand and defeat the plans of the unrighteous. The future of our nation depends on it.
Unfortunately they are defending the plans of the unrighteous. And I agree that the future of our country depends on locating the unrighteous. That is why GOD founded our Church, the Church of Christian Reformation so we can help these warmongers to find the truth. And here the link to the - I presume - sender of this misguided commentary. At least it was left by the person who posted the message: www.MissionGateMinistry.org
Like Falwell, D. James Kennedy considers the teaching of GOD's true word as deceptive. Understanding GOD's word obviously gets harder the less brains people have to involve in it. It helps if someone is able to read and understand the message of Jesus, the commandments and the word of Paul. It is hard to understand that someone can not understand it. But Facts and brains, as well as compassion are obviously not spread widely on the right wing. If you have to tell lies to be considered a Patriot, GOD has really lost his standing and the people their mind.
Honestly, as much as I appreciate that so many people are reading my sermons and teachings, I am getting tired of defending the Islam against the Right Wing Christian Fascists. I am not a Muslim, I am a Christian who follows GOD's message. My compassion for people and my disgust for lies and deception force me to answer all the stupid and false accusations made against the Islam. So I have to defend a Religion I respect, but of which I am not a member. I would rather focus on Christian topics and questions than on moronic and deceptive writings. But maybe that is why GOD called me in the first place. To tell the Falwell-Christians that they are blaspheming and are not following the words of GOD.
All these hate attacks on Muslims and their faith make sure that we Americans, who really want everything good for our country (they call us Patriots) are busy fighting smoke screens instead of focusing on the real and important issues like rigged elections in our country, the real roots of 9-11, illegal occupation of foreign countries which all happened without any regards of GOD's word and many other issues more.
Amen

GOD and Al-lah are on the case...
Below you find an article dating from August 15th, which shows that GOD is on the subject too (see my commentary from August 3rd below this one)! A click on the headline leads you to the full length original article on the web site of Fox News where you will also find the right wing commentaries of the usual religious fascists which I omitted here for reasons of irrelevance and their insult to the most basic intelligence and the word of GOD alike. We believe in Compassion, Peace, Love and GOD's Commandments to the world. We are against violence, hypocrites, prejudice and lies. Many of our fellow Americans seemingly forgot all this to blindly serve their religious idols with their phony messages and speeches (see the Trinity Broadcasting Network) who only have one goal: to get to your money and to brainwash any compassion or sound thought out of your mind, so you become their blind follower. Whom you actually follow is clear when you look whom they support. An administration that lives on lies and deceit. And in the end it will surely cost you more that just money. It has already cost the lives of too many of our soldiers (By the way: We support our Troops! We are just against the illegal war started by a president who was not even elected) and of tens of thousands of civilians. GOD is trying to save you from these mistakes, that is why you are reading these lines right now. Keep reading and judge for yourself. I am very surprised that it is the Roman Catholic Church that recently makes my case, even though I am closer to Martin Luther's reforming spirit than to the pope. But unlike the Pseudo-Christian Churches and preachers in the US, the Pope agrees - like me - that Evolution is a fact that does not exclude GOD. GOD created the Heavens and the Earth. He could have done it a few thousand years ago (why should he anyway, when it was already there for Millions of years???), but he obviously did not do it 5,000 or 6,000 years ago (this is the story according to the Jewish calendar and the Old Testament which is basically the history of the Jews) but Millions of years ago. And he created everything else through Evolution - which definitely took longer than several thousand years and is not remotely finished. Some brains still seem to be in the beginning stages... And I don't think that neither the History of the Jews or the Jewish calendar overrules the way GOD actually did it. But back to the way GOD spreads the right thoughts at the right time. GOD Bless America!
Roman Catholic Bishop Wants Everyone to Call God 'Allah'
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
A proposal by a Roman Catholic bishop in the Netherlands that people of all faiths refer to God as "Allah" is not sitting well with the Catholic community. Bishop Martinus Muskens, an outgoing bishop who is retiring in a few weeks from the southern diocese of Breda, said God doesn't care what he is called.
"Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? ... What does God care what we call him? It is our problem," Muskens told Dutch television. Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based Islamic civil liberties and advocacy group, backs the idea as a way to help interfaith understanding. "It reinforces the fact that Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same God," Hooper told FOXNews.com. "I don't think the name is as important as the belief in God and following God's moral principles. I think that's true for all faiths." Christians who are Arabic speakers speak of Allah when they speak of God, Hooper added.
The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago supports the idea. “I think it will open up doors,” said Janaan Hashim, a spokeswoman for the group representing more than 400,000 Muslim Americans in the Chicago area. “Language is a man-made limitation. I think what God cares about is how we fulfill our purpose in life.” The nation’s largest Catholic civil rights group says Catholics won't get behind the proposal.
Muskens spent eight years in Indonesia, where he said priests used the word "Allah" during Mass. Muskens also has drawn attention for other ideas such as encouraging the hungry to steal bread and offering condoms to combat HIV and AIDS.FOXNews.com's Melissa Drosjack and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
I don't think we should call GOD Al-lah. But I absolutely agree that this is an important thought in these times, where hate and ignorance rules over the word of GOD and outweighs the truth in this world. Islam was born from Judaism and Christianity and Al-lah is GOD. So the message of hate that is being sent from both sides - the extremists of Islam as well as the religious fascists here - has a purpose for them, not for GOD. The same Christians that are judging the Islamic Terrorists are trying to create little Christian suicide bombers in their Jesus camps. GOD does not want Terror! GOD wants Peace and Love. That is why he sent Jesus! To change the message of hate and war, an eye for an eye, into Love and "turn the other cheek". Please listen to the words of the false Prophets in your life and compare them to the facts and to GOD's word! By the way: I also agree with Muskens' encouraging the hungry to steal bread and offering condoms to combat HIV and AIDS!

Jesus Christ or Allah?
Hate mail distracts from illegal occupation of Iraq and other real issues
This is a brief commentary about a hate email that is being sent from very coldly calculating people to many ignorant people who actually think they are doing the world a service in spreading a warning.
The real goal of the initial sender is to distract as many people as possible from the real issues like the illegal war and occupation that is going on, that Terrorists are only mentioned close to elections (and only spring in action when asked to by the right people in power), that most of the "insurgents" in Iraq are from Saudi Arabia (Bush's only friends in this world) and not from other countries like Iran, that 1 Million valid votes for a Democratic president were not counted due to illegal Republican intervention, that the Katrina victims are still in peril (but most of them are black, so the Government does not really care) and many more issues - too many to mention here.
Illegal Immigration is another one of the “pressing Subjects” that suddenly arose - just in time to distract from all this and the illegal occupation of a foreign, sovereign country with the only goal to line the pockets of the power elite of the US. But here is another issue: false information is spread about a religion and the believers in this religion. Here the chain hate mail in all it’s glory:
Jesus Christ or Allah?
This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.(IMPORTANT TO READ!) The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!!
Allah or The Lord Jesus Christ? . By Rick Mathes
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?"
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of "a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar."
He sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!"
The Imam was speechless! I continued, "I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?"
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. To elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is your chance to make a difference...Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts
And here my answer to the addressees on the mailing list:
Here some info from "Break the chain" and Snopes.com http://snopes.com/politics/religion/allah.asp. And may God bless you all!
The veracity of the claims made in it is the author's to prove. Unfortunately, Rick Mathes told BreakTheChain.org that he will not provide further details because, in his words, "I fear retribution - I have a 20 year prison ministry to protect."
Third-party accounts of the events in question paint a significantly different picture than the one offered by Mathes. Tim Kniest, spokesman for the Missouri Department of Corrections, told the Lee news service that the training session in question was for prison volunteers and took place in a corrections facility in Fulton, MO. However, according to Kniest, prison officials' recollection of events that day differ from Mathes' in several aspects:
Religious leaders representing faiths followed by current inmates were invited to present.
The presenter on Islam was not an Imam, but rather a Muslim inmate who was pressed into presenting after no Imam could be arranged.
Prison officials confirm that the Muslim inmate was asked a few questions that he was unable to answer, but none along the lines of those suggested by Mr. Mathes.
This essay falls short of being the proof that Islam's leaders cannot deny the violent nature of their own religion that many would have it be. Since both sides of the argument have recognized that the person Mathes was questioning was not an Islamic official nor a recognized expert in the religion, his actions should not be considered indicative of all Muslims. Break this chain.
If one is willing to ignore history, context, and actual practice when quoting scripture and other religious texts, followers of just about any religion can be painted as uniformly fanatic and intolerant. Consider the following recasting of the piece quoted above:
The minister gave a great presentation of the basics of Christianity, complete with a video. After the presentations time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn I directed my question to the minister and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that in Exodus 35:2 the Bible instructs Christians to kill everyone who works on the sabbath: 'Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.'"
There was no disagreement with my statement.
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. God has commanded Christians to kill everyone who works on Sunday, even Muslims and other non-Christians?"
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
He sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then said, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the Prophet Muhammad commanding all Muslims to kill those of your faith for not observing the Muslim sabbath."The minister was speechless. I continued, "I also have problem with your Bible commanding all Christians to stone to death anyone who criticizes your God, as detailed in Leviticus 24:16.
Let me ask you a question . . . would you rather have your God who tell[s] you to kill me in order to go to heaven or my Allah who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and wants you to be with me?"You could have heard a pin drop as the minister hung his head in shame.
I know you are honest and will forward this to the same people who received the original from you. Thanks, God bless you and Amen.
Let us take a look at the goal of the email: The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!! This sentence alone already shows why it was written. Hate against "minority races". The KKK could not have done a better job. Hitler set the stage in a similar manner against the Jews that he killed. And I know that the people who send this mail to other people are Christians. But how does this hate work in accord with the word of GOD. And I mean the commandments 'You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor" and "Love your enemies and Pray for those who persecute you" and the teachings of Paul. The Old Testament is the history of the Jews, nice to read but not really our business. It is sad and amazing at the same time how ignorant and eager some people are to spread lies and deception for people who really mean serious harm to their fellow humans. By the way: the Question Jesus Christ or Allah is not really a valid question. Allah and GOD are the same. GOD tells us there is only one GOD and so does the Qur'an which is based on the Jewish faith as well as on Christianity. It is the same GOD we are talking about. Al-llah is GOD and GOD is Al-llah.
This is a brief commentary about a hate email that is being sent from very coldly calculating people to many ignorant people who actually think they are doing the world a service in spreading a warning.
The real goal of the initial sender is to distract as many people as possible from the real issues like the illegal war and occupation that is going on, that Terrorists are only mentioned close to elections (and only spring in action when asked to by the right people in power), that most of the "insurgents" in Iraq are from Saudi Arabia (Bush's only friends in this world) and not from other countries like Iran, that 1 Million valid votes for a Democratic president were not counted due to illegal Republican intervention, that the Katrina victims are still in peril (but most of them are black, so the Government does not really care) and many more issues - too many to mention here.
Illegal Immigration is another one of the “pressing Subjects” that suddenly arose - just in time to distract from all this and the illegal occupation of a foreign, sovereign country with the only goal to line the pockets of the power elite of the US. But here is another issue: false information is spread about a religion and the believers in this religion. Here the chain hate mail in all it’s glory:
Jesus Christ or Allah?
This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.(IMPORTANT TO READ!) The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!!
Allah or The Lord Jesus Christ? . By Rick Mathes
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?"
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of "a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar."
He sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!"
The Imam was speechless! I continued, "I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?"
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. To elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is your chance to make a difference...Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts
And here my answer to the addressees on the mailing list:
Here some info from "Break the chain" and Snopes.com http://snopes.com/politics/religion/allah.asp. And may God bless you all!
The veracity of the claims made in it is the author's to prove. Unfortunately, Rick Mathes told BreakTheChain.org that he will not provide further details because, in his words, "I fear retribution - I have a 20 year prison ministry to protect."
Third-party accounts of the events in question paint a significantly different picture than the one offered by Mathes. Tim Kniest, spokesman for the Missouri Department of Corrections, told the Lee news service that the training session in question was for prison volunteers and took place in a corrections facility in Fulton, MO. However, according to Kniest, prison officials' recollection of events that day differ from Mathes' in several aspects:
Religious leaders representing faiths followed by current inmates were invited to present.
The presenter on Islam was not an Imam, but rather a Muslim inmate who was pressed into presenting after no Imam could be arranged.
Prison officials confirm that the Muslim inmate was asked a few questions that he was unable to answer, but none along the lines of those suggested by Mr. Mathes.
This essay falls short of being the proof that Islam's leaders cannot deny the violent nature of their own religion that many would have it be. Since both sides of the argument have recognized that the person Mathes was questioning was not an Islamic official nor a recognized expert in the religion, his actions should not be considered indicative of all Muslims. Break this chain.
If one is willing to ignore history, context, and actual practice when quoting scripture and other religious texts, followers of just about any religion can be painted as uniformly fanatic and intolerant. Consider the following recasting of the piece quoted above:
The minister gave a great presentation of the basics of Christianity, complete with a video. After the presentations time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn I directed my question to the minister and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that in Exodus 35:2 the Bible instructs Christians to kill everyone who works on the sabbath: 'Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.'"
There was no disagreement with my statement.
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. God has commanded Christians to kill everyone who works on Sunday, even Muslims and other non-Christians?"
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
He sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then said, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the Prophet Muhammad commanding all Muslims to kill those of your faith for not observing the Muslim sabbath."The minister was speechless. I continued, "I also have problem with your Bible commanding all Christians to stone to death anyone who criticizes your God, as detailed in Leviticus 24:16.
Let me ask you a question . . . would you rather have your God who tell[s] you to kill me in order to go to heaven or my Allah who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and wants you to be with me?"You could have heard a pin drop as the minister hung his head in shame.
I know you are honest and will forward this to the same people who received the original from you. Thanks, God bless you and Amen.
Let us take a look at the goal of the email: The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!! This sentence alone already shows why it was written. Hate against "minority races". The KKK could not have done a better job. Hitler set the stage in a similar manner against the Jews that he killed. And I know that the people who send this mail to other people are Christians. But how does this hate work in accord with the word of GOD. And I mean the commandments 'You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor" and "Love your enemies and Pray for those who persecute you" and the teachings of Paul. The Old Testament is the history of the Jews, nice to read but not really our business. It is sad and amazing at the same time how ignorant and eager some people are to spread lies and deception for people who really mean serious harm to their fellow humans. By the way: the Question Jesus Christ or Allah is not really a valid question. Allah and GOD are the same. GOD tells us there is only one GOD and so does the Qur'an which is based on the Jewish faith as well as on Christianity. It is the same GOD we are talking about. Al-llah is GOD and GOD is Al-llah.

Pope Benedict challenges Churches world wide
The Pope is the head of a Jewish Church and claims that his Catholic Church, which teaches GOD's message to the Jews and not to the Christians, is the only true church
According to a BBC report on July 10, 2007, Pope Benedict has approved a new text asserting that Christian denominations outside Roman Catholicism are not true Churches in the full sense of the word. The document, issued by a Vatican watchdog, has been criticised as offensive by some Protestants. The text was written by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, headed by Pope Benedict before his election as Pope. It states that Christ established only one Church here on earth. Other Christian denominations, it argues, cannot be called Churches in the proper sense because they cannot trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles.
The argument Pope Benedict makes is typical for the catholic church which has committed unspeakable crimes, mostly crimes against GOD's word and the teachings of Jesus through the centuries and on orders of their "Bishops and Popes".
Martin Luther, who initially caused the true believers in GOD to turn away from the catholic church because of the criminal and blasphemic acts of the Catholic Church, criticized among other things the lies, deception, violation of GOD's law and the absolution for money in the church. So the Pope should be very quiet about other churches, that fortunately do not share this criminal history.
The Churches that follow the Apostle Paul ARE the real Churches of GOD, not only because they turned away from the crimes of the Catholic Church, but also because they are NOT built on an Apostle for the Jews (Peter and the other Apostles were sent to preach the Kingdom of GOD to the Jews, Paul is the Apostle who preaches the salvation for the Gentiles (non-Jews) and the Body of Christ) but on the Word of GOD for the Body of Christ (Jews and Gentiles who accept Jesus Christ as their savior) and simply because they were reformed Churches (see rightly dividing the Bible). On the other hand, many of these Churches also forgot GOD and violate Jesus Christ's Word in many aspects. So is it not enough to pay lip service to GOD's commandments and claim Jesus to be your savior - you also have to keep and live them as an example, if you are looking forward to salvation.
So it is ridiculous that Pope Benedict claims that the Catholic Church is the only true Church for the Christians. The Catholic Church is the Church for the Jews. Apostle Paul's Church, like our Church of Christian Reformation, is the true Church for the Christians, exactly as the Bible confirms.

Scooter Libby walked free today
Bush crime family still ignores laws and court verdicts
When I heard the statement from Alex Jones: "If you liked Hitler, you are going to love Bush", I was still in doubt that it could be this bad. Time and events convinced me, that Alex Jones was right several years ago, predicting what would happen, and even being conservative in his prediction of future events. If you stand by without trying to stop a crime, you are part of it. Many people are trying to tell America what is really going on, but as Hitler said, the lie only has to be big enough for people to believe it.
And the worst part: they use GOD to sell the lie. But back to Scooter Libby: even though I expected this traitor to walk free sooner or later before he actually has to go to prison (July 2, 2007) - actually I expected a full pardon (which will come at a later time now) - it still hurts that traitors of the United States are walking free in spite of their crimes.
High treason is still on the list with capital punishment - instead the Republican criminals just walk free. Paris Hilton's jail sentence seems more than harsh looking at this unbelievable deed from a US president. It is also hard to believe that all the crimes that were committed by US-politicians who are currently in power will be pardoned or just denied. It does not start with the crimes in wire tapping and it does not stop with falsifying election results in favor of the Republicans.
If the Democrats were not "on the take" they would stop all these crimes. They see them, but they don't intervene. It is just a crying shame. Bush decided today to let Scooter scoot right after meeting with his "friend" Vladimir Putin. Bush still insists to set up and aim new missiles at Russia. What would you do if you were the Russian President? Allow the madman to aim his missiles at your country? Probably not. And that is why Bush insists on the new Rockets: see the older blog...

Bush and Cheney are looking for a new war
Who will be the victim this time? Russia or IRAN?
The war in IRAQ is almost over, now the Republicans and Big Money behind the scenes are trying to have the US-Military occupy the country for the next 50 years. So, to keep the Billions and the blood flowing, Big Money in the US needs new wars that can not be stopped that easily. So they are having Bush and Cheney looking for new opportunities for bloodshed and more Billions before they either declare a state of emergency after they lose the next elections or actually have to step down (June 6, 2007).CNN. U.S. President George W. Bush risked escalating a rumbling row with Russia over U.S. plans for a Europe-based missile defense system by warning that democratic reforms in Russia had been "derailed." In an earlier press conference, Bush said Moscow had nothing to fear from U.S. missile shield plans, which would see bases placed in European countries once within the Kremlin's sphere of influence including the Czech Republic and Poland. "Russia's not our enemy," Bush said, adding that the defense shield was meant to target "rogue nations," not escalate a new Cold War standoff. "My message will be, Vladimir - I call him Vladimir - that you shouldn't fear a missile defense system," Bush said. "As a matter of fact, why don't you cooperate with us ... Please send your generals over to see how such a system would work. Send your scientists. Let us have the ability to discuss this issue in an open forum."
Putin has said the deployment threatens Russian territory and will "turn Europe into a powder keg and stuff it with new types of weapons." The Kremlin leader raised the stakes over the weekend, warning that he may aim nuclear weapons at European targets unless Washington abandons its plans. "If this does not happen, then we will withdraw any responsibility for our retaliatory measures because it wasn't us who initiated a new round of arms race development in Europe," Putin said.
Imagine that Russia would set up a missile shield against the US in Canada. Would we stand idly by? The US started the IRAQ war for financial reasons and with this the US have become the muggers of the modern world - we ignore Global warming for financial reasons for the benefit of the richest and they also need a new war to sell weapons and keep the Gas prices high. Why does anyone believe we would not start a second war? This article will be in the archives for later review and my desperate call: I told you so, why don't you listen, why don't you look for yourself?
It is amazing that everything in current US politics is so predictable and transparent, and that hardly anybody sees it. The Oil Industry got the first gift from the Bush/Cheney Corporation that sold out America and is still cashing in with Gas prices that are higher than double of what would be economically realistic and morally acceptable. Ordered by their other commanders in weapons Industry, war suppliers and the contractors, who cashed in but are still not satisfied with the Billions their two puppets handed them so far, Bush and Cheney have been looking for a new war since a while.
Vladimir Putin was smart enough to ignore Cheney's verbal attacks when Cheney visited Lithuania several month ago. So the first attempt to start a war with Russia had failed. Now the second attempt is to set up Rockets which threaten Russia. And this might be a challenge which the Russian President Putin might not be able to fend off that easily - purely in the interest of his people and possible public opinion. And to make it impossible for Putin to react otherwise, Bush and his partners in crime published the new Rocket threat for Eastern Europe as widely as they could. The other possible next victim of US aggression is IRAN whose President claims to use the nuclear facilities for peaceful purposes. The only country who has been starting wars recently and is funding a bloody occupation is the US. How would you call a country that would attack the US, occupy us, randomly kick in doors at night and search your house? And how would you call the people who do this in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas and Washington D.C.?
Liberators or Terrorists?
Even though Scooter Libby was sentenced to only 30 months in jail for selling out a covert member of the CIA, his commander Dick Cheney should be on trial. This is a crime of high treason and the question is why the traitors are not in Guantanamo Bay being interrogated exactly as they requested by law and court-martialed according to the severity of their crime.
In a related story: The Democratic Party ignored and still ignores the will of the American people and disappointed in every aspect so far.
Habeas Corpus, which means that our government has to explain why it's holding a person in custody, has been taken away by Bush and his crime family under the false pretenses of terrorism. The only terrorism this, our country has seen so far was government ordered. Financed by the United Arab Emirates and carried out by some of their men and most of the terrorist came from Saudi Arabia, the President Bush's closest (and only) friends.
As a 'thank you' he tried to give the United Arab Emirates the control over our most important ports. This was stopped by a public outcry not to give our ports to the terrorists. But back to habeas corpus: the reinstating of this and other essential civil rights for all American citizens should have been the first action of the Democrats during their first 100 hours of power. Another missed opportunity for the opportunists.

Democratic Party betrays their voters
The Democratic Party of the United States voted for the war in IRAQ again today (May 23, 2007), and with this vote supports and takes part in the greed of the current government. The Democrats who in recent weeks disclaimed "If I had known then, what I know now, I would not have voted for the war", decided to - this time knowingly and consciously - to entirely disregard the will of the majority of US voters who had put them in power in order to end the war and to stop the corruption. A task the Democrats are obviously not able to perform. To the voters who depended on them, the "Party of pretend", which the Democrats (or are they paid by the Republican backers for this too?) currently are, Benedict Arnold appears as an honorable man.
By the way, when the unsuspecting Democrats happily voted for the war the first time, I and most of the world outside the US knew that there was NO reason for this war. How is it possible that my intelligence was better than a senators? Higher, yes, easily. But better? Should they not be telling the whole truth?
It is sad that there is no party left in the US to have the conscience to do the right thing. A path which the majority of the US population clearly sees is seemingly not the one for their elected representatives. Whom are these politicians representing? Oil Companies and their government?
The gas prices are already two Dollars per gallon higher than they should be and whoever does not fight this rape of the US population might think about if the reward from Big Oil is more important than the people who voted them into office. I hope that the American people do not forget who is selling them out and give their clear answer at the next elections. It seems to make no difference who is currently in power. Politicians are fighting and abusing their own people. A sign of the times.
