Islamic State Releases New Propaganda Video ‘No Respite’

November 29, 2015 by Daniel

Islamic State propaganda video 'No Respite'

The Islamic State has released a new propaganda video in English titled ‘No Respite.’

Certainly they are targeting the United States with the release considering their taunts of “Bring it on.”

Heavy is reporting that the title, ‘No Respite,’ comes from Quran verse 71:

And recite to them the news of Noah, when he said to his people, “O my people, if my residence and my reminding of the signs of Allah has become burdensome upon you – then I have relied upon Allah . So resolve upon your plan and [call upon] your associates. Then let not your plan be obscure to you. Then carry it out upon me and do not give me respite.

Heavy also reports:

In the video, ISIS mocks the United States’ military tactics in the region and also spotlights racial tensions in the U.S. It shows geographical information of its expanding “caliphate” and comments on the Sykes–Picot Agreement, which split up the lands of the defeated Ottoman Empire after World War I and drew the modern map of the Middle East.

BEN CARSON: A Muslim Shouldn’t be President

September 20, 2015 by Daniel

BEN CARSON A Muslim shouldn t be president

Ben Carson was asked on NBC’s Meet The Press about the whether faith matters when electing a president.

Carson states, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”

“If it’s inconsistent with the values of America, then of course it should matter,” he said. “But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem.”

Iranian Lawmakers Propose Bill to Criminalize Dog Ownership

April 19, 2011 by Daniel

It looks as if lawmakers in Tehran, capital city of Iran, doesn’t have enough control over it’s people. Thus giving them the idea that they can make ownership of dogs a criminal act. But, it goes deeper than that.

Jihad Watch | Iran: Parliament mulling bill to criminalize dog ownership

The Muslim revulsion for dogs comes from Muhammad: “Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

And from the Shi’ite side of the divide, which pertains more specifically to this story, here is a contemporary voice — Iraq’s Ayatollah Sistani:

The following ten things are essentially najis [unclean]:1. Urine
2. Faeces
3. Semen
4. Dead body
5. Blood
6. Dog
7. Pig
8. Kafir [unbeliever — i.e., non-Muslims]
9. Alcoholic liquors
10. The sweat of an animal who persistently eats najasat [unclean things].

Sharia Alert from the Islamic Republic of Iran: “The Latest Enemies of Iran: Dogs and Their Owners,” by Azadeh Moaveni in Time Magazine, April 19:

For much of the past decade, the Iranian government has tolerated what it considers a particularly depraved and un-Islamic vice: the keeping of pet dogs.

Iran Still Claiming the Return of Twelfth Imam to Show Soon

April 18, 2011 by Daniel

Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch put out a great read on Iran and their continuing claim of the twelfth imam that will soon make its presence known. – Take the time to read the entire post.

JihadWatch | Rep of Iran’s Supremo says: “The situation in Bahrain alone could be a catalyst for the United States to strike out on their own and cause the downfall of that straw empire”

The Twelfth Imam disappeared over 1100 years ago, and hasn’t been heard from in over 1,050 years. After his disappearance in 874, the Twelfth Imam communicated through three messengers. In his last communiqué to the world, via one of these messengers in the year 941, this mysterious figure consoled his followers with prophesies regarding his eventual reappearance. The circumstances of that reappearance could, in the hands of Iran’s mad mullahs, visit upon the world calamities of a scale never before seen. And Israel and America will bear the brunt.

“Hearts,” warned Mohammad al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam, in his last message, “will become inaccessible to compassion. The earth will be filled with tyranny and violence.” He was speaking of the time of his reappearance, explaining that he would only come back to the world when the evil that Muslims were suffering was at its absolute apex. In this he echoed a Shi’ite tradition of the words of the prophet of Islam himself, Muhammad, who prophesied that the Twelfth Imam would be “the Resurrector” and explained: “He will fill the world with peace and justice as today it is filled with violence and tyranny.”

That violence and tyranny is not incidental to the theology of the Twelfth Imam, which has revenge as its core and essence. The dispute between the majority Sunnis and the Shiat Ali (Party of Ali) began upon the death of Muhammad in 632. The Sunnis contended that the prophet of Islam had made no provision for a successor as political, military, and spiritual leader of the Muslim community, and that therefore the Muslims should choose the best man among them as their leader. The nascent Party of Ali, on the contrary, claimed that Muhammad had designated his son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor, and that the successor of Muhammad had to be a member of the prophet’s household.

Islamic Law: A Look From the Inside

March 29, 2011 by Daniel

There have been many who have offered a look into Islamic Law, more commonly refered to as Sharia, but Andrew Bostom at American Thinker helps shine a brighter light. His digging deeper into Bill O’Reilly and guest Wafa Sultan is a great piece and well worth looking at.

Last night for a few brief shining television moments (captured here), Wafa Sultan, courageous  author of the indispensible jeremiad “A God Who Hates,” strove gamely to educate Bill O’Reilly — often seemingly impenetrable

The news “hook” for Wafa’s unfortunately rare appearance was the recent alleged rape of a Libyan woman, Iman Al-Obeidi by Qadaffi’s minions.
As a working physician in her native Syria, Wafa noted that she was familiar with “many such crimes” committed with the sanction of  Sharia — Islamic Law. She elaborated that under Sharia,     CONTINUE READING

Iranian Video Warns of Coming Mahdi

March 28, 2011 by Daniel

It is no secret that Iran wants to wipe Israel of the face of the Earth. And, if you want to point to the Bible as your guide, or just want to listen to that sick feeling in your stomach, the idea of erasing a whole nation of people should leave you questioning someones rationale. However, that is what Iran wants. They want Israel gone!

So, what is a ‘Mahdi?’ Some say it is a mythical person. Others, including those who follow Islam, refer to it as an Islamic messiah. Why is this important? It is somewhat of a revelation to followers of Islam. And, with so much turmoil going on in the Middle Eastern area, it offers them even more to look to.

Whether you want to look at this video as pure propoganda, it should still shine a disturbing light your way.

Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood Ties

February 8, 2011 by Daniel

by Robert Spencer

Barack Obama has declared that all opposition groups should have representation in the next Egyptian government, which essentially ensures that the Muslim Brotherhood will be part of that government.  The Brotherhood is the largest opposition group in Egypt, so it will probably end up in the driver’s seat in any new regime, and steer Egypt toward becoming an Islamic state inveterately hostile to the United States.

So why isn’t Obama working to limit the Brotherhood’s scope and influence?  Maybe because he doesn’t really have a problem with the Brotherhood, despite its hostility to America.  He made sure to invite Brotherhood leaders to attend his notorious speech to the Islamic world in Cairo, Egypt, in June 4, 2009.  Starting in the earliest days of his administration, he showed an intense desire to establish friendly ties with Brotherhood-linked organizations—despite the Brotherhood’s stated goal of “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”     Continue reading . . .

Federally Funded Islam

November 29, 2010 by Daniel

by Austin Hill

It’s disturbing that we even need to have this conversation.

It’ll be more disturbing if the Obama Administration doesn’t intervene and stop the process.

The people behind the controversial “Park 51” Islamic mosque project in Lower Manhattan have apparently applied several times for federal grant money with the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. LMDC is officially a New York state agency, but the money that this agency doles-out for the purposes of “reconstructing New York city” in 9-11’s aftermath is nonetheless federal tax money.

The money is administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, while “HUD” itself is overseen by President Obama’s hand-picked cabinet officer, Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Thus, it is accurate to say that President Obama and his Administration have a very direct connection with this project – and somebody from the Administration needs to take a stand, do the right thing, and put a halt to it.

Court order blocks Okla. amendment on Islamic law

November 9, 2010 by Daniel

reported by AssociatedPress

A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Monday to block a new amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would prohibit state courts from considering international or Islamic law when deciding cases.

U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange handed down the order after an Oklahoma man filed a lawsuit claiming the amendment stigmatized his religion and would invalidate his will, which he said is partially based on Islamic Law, also known as Sharia Law.

“My constitutional rights are being violated through the condemnation of my faith,” said Muneer Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma. “Islam was the target of this amendment. This amendment does not have a secular purpose.”

The measure, State Question 755, was approved with 70 percent of the vote in the Nov. 2 general election. The judge’s order prevents the state Election Board from certifying the results of that vote, which it had planned to do Tuesday afternoon.

The order will remain in effect until a Nov. 22 hearing on a preliminary injunction.
