Contrasts Obama Against
The ‘Brave, Courageous’ Egyptian Leader

By Garth Kant — (WASHINGTON) Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, came out swinging against President Obama in remarks made Wednesday at the Defeat Jihad Summit presented by the Center for Security Policy.

Cruz compared the president’s timidity in the face of terrorism and his refusal to condemn murderous Muslim extremists with the “courageous” bravery of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in risking his own life to call out “the radical Islamic terrorists that are perverting his faith.”

The senator accused Obama of making a “pernicious” statement that implied Islamic terrorists who murder journalists “had a legitimate grievance.”

Cruz also said few people seemed to have noticed a “stunning” assault on free speech by Obama that “got very little press attention.”

The Texan began that portion of his remarks by noting something Obama said at last Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast that was “every bit as troubling as analogizing to the Crusades” and invoking the moral relativism of comparing Christianity’s ancient misdeeds with modern radical Islamic atrocities.

Cruz noted how the president said, “[W]hen someone exercises their free speech to criticize the faith of another, we should all condemn it.”

“Now, I found that a rather stunning assault on free speech from the president. It got very little press attention. Because, lest it be lost on anybody, what the president was saying is that Charlie (Hebdo) was wrong to put a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad on their magazine.

“And, implicitly, what that’s saying is the terrorists who murdered those journalists had a legitimate grievance. That is wrong. That is pernicious.”

The senator asked people to imagine how different it would have been if the president had instead focused on a very different speech at the prayer breakfast.

“It was a brave, courageous speech for President al-Sisi where he stood up as a Muslim and called out the radical Islamic terrorists that are perverting his faith. And he called on other Muslims to speak out against the jihadists.”

Cruz added, “In doing so, he knew well that he was risking his life to say that. That these religious zealots and lunatics would only redouble their efforts to come after him.”

“Imagine what a different prayer breakfast it would have been if the president had stood up and commended President al-Sisi for having the courage to speak the truth. Rather than justifying violence through the moral relativism of ‘everybody does it,’ rather than suggesting that we should muzzle free speech because of radical Islamists who take to violence, imagine if the president had been willing to name and understand the enemy.”...

OVERLOOKED Excerpt From Obama Prayer Breakfast Speech REVEALS He Supports Turkey’s Desire To CRIMINALIZE Islamophobia

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — While giving a speech, Senator Ted Cruz revealed an interesting excerpt from Barack Obama’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast that has gone overlooked to this point. That excerpt puts Obama nearly 100 percent in line with the goals of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), a bloc of 57 Muslim countries that seeks to criminalize any and all criticism of everything Islam. In fact, the short video excerpt from Obama’s speech below – when compared to a meeting that took place in Istanbul, Turkey a few years ago – clearly shows that the President is in league with such forces.

First, take a look at the quote from Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, in question:
“…if, in fact, we defend the legal right of a person to insult another’s religion, we’re equally obligated to use our free speech to condemn such insults — (applause) — and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with religious communities, particularly religious minorities who are the targets of such attacks. Just because you have the right to say something doesn’t mean the rest of us shouldn’t question those who would insult others in the name of free speech….”
Let’s rewind back to July 15, 2011. It was the first meeting of what has become known as the “Istanbul Process”. It was co-chaired by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then Foreign Minister of Turkey (now Prime Minister) Ahmet Davutoglu, and then Secretary-General of the OIC Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu. The intent of the meeting was to find a way to thread the needle between the recently passed United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18, which called for the suppression of anti-religious speech and the first amendment rights in the U.S....

The Mark Levin Show
Federal Election Commission Wants To Regulate Speech On Websites

Broadcast Synopsis — On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show: It is clear that the Internet, the freest form of communication, is under attack by the left. The Democratic-controlled Federal Communications Commission is trying to nationalize the Internet through backdoor deals, while the Federal Election Commission wants to regulate speech on websites. Freedom to communicate is necessary for a civil society so people can challenge their representatives and people in positions of power. Mark is joined by FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai to discuss FCC policies and Obama’s unprecedented involvement. Also, we’ve seen two immigrants for every job created since 2000 and we’re being told by libertarian economists that the answer is more immigration.

Next, Obama wants an authorization to fight ISIS, saying we won’t use ground forces and that the authorization is only for 3 years. He's literally telling the enemy what we won't do and for how long.

Later, Mark talks with Rick Santorum about his daughter Bella and his new book, Bella’s Gift.

Truth About Why Politicians
IGNORE Islam EXPLAINED PERFECTLY

Why We Are Afraid, A 1400 Year Secret, by Dr Bill Warner

Video Description: The history of Islam in Europe and how it effects us to this day. This is a history based on numbers and facts that you may not see anywhere else and explains why we may be afraid to see Islam for what it is based on its own doctrine and practice.

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — No one knows better than Shoebat.com readers the frustration of Americans – and westerners in general – have with political leaders who so blatantly ignore Islam. The video below doesn’t eliminate that frustration but it may help prevent you from beating your head against the wall as hard.

In the video below (cued up at right moment), Dr. Bill Warner nails it. He has a PhD in math and physics but has also mastered and perfectly enunciates the violent and vicious history of Islam through the centuries. You can watch the entire video in an earlier post but the crescendo is so good and the diagnosis is so spot-on at the end, we encourage everyone to watch it.

The reason western leaders and politicians don’t tell you the truth or stand up against the true threat is indeed fear but that’s an oversimplification that fails to tell you the why. In this clip (the last two minutes of the 44 minute video), Warner gives you the why and you don’t want to miss it.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is the poster child for what Warner describes. After watching the above video, doesn’t this make a whole lot more sense?...


Yemen Falls Apart:
Marines Forced To Destroy Weapons, U.S. Embassy Evacuated, Al Qaeda Seizes Military Base

By Katie Pavlich, Townhall — Despite President Obama claiming in September that U.S. strategy used to combat terrorism in Yemen has been a "success," so successful in fact that it should be used to defeat ISIS, the country continues to fall apart. Late yesterday the United States evacuated the U.S. embassy in Yemen and Marines were bizarrely ordered by the State Department to destroy issued weapons on their way out. The British and French also closed and evacuated their embassies yesterday citing safety and security concerns. ...

Monstrous Algal Bloom Erupts
In World’s Largest Lake

By Rowan Hooper, New Scientist — YOU'RE looking at a gigantic algal bloom – seen from space. This is the Caspian Sea, located between Europe and Asia, bordered by Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan and, seen in the lower portion of the photograph, Kazakhstan.

The sea – or lake, if you prefer, as it is landlocked – is enormous, with a surface area of 371,000 square kilometres. It's larger than Germany. But the section seen here is shallow, only around 5 metres deep. It is also polluted by phosphorus from fertiliser, raw sewage and detergents, and the super-enriched water triggers massive growth of algae just as it inhibits and reduces other aquatic life. The image was taken by South Korea's Kompsat-2 satellite. ...

After a problematic return, Rosie O’Donnell bids farewell to ABC’s "The View." Her reasons for leaving the talk show, in her own words.”

Kayla Mueller: Israel-Hater

By Peter Malcolm, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — Writing for PJ Media, writer Ron Radosh points out that Kayla Mueller, the young woman captured by ISIS who died in a Jordanian airstrike and has been lionized by Barack Obama, John McCain, and the New York Times, was a hater of Israel who lied about the Jewish state while she defended the right of Palestinians to throw rocks at Jews, claiming that throwing rocks was a non-violent act.

Radosh quotes McCain bloviating on the Senate floor that Mueller “committed her life to helping people in need around the world – first in India, then Israel and the Palestinian territories …”

The New York Times quoted a Vietnam vet who lived near Mueller’s Arizona home as saying, “[Kayla Mueller] represented everything good about being an American. In the outgoing battle between good and evil, she represented the best of the good.”

Obama’s praise was as flowery as it was effusive:...

Report: 20,000 ISIS Supporters Worldwide Have Flocked To Iraq, Syria To Join Terror Group

By Heather Clark, Christian News Network — (WASHINGTON) Supporters of the terrorist group ISIS are flocking to Iraq and Syria at record rates with an estimated 20,000 foreign fighters joining the barbarian organization worldwide, reports state.

You Won’t Believe Why Obama Said The ‘Supreme Leader’ Of Iran Should Be Trusted With Nukes

By Jennifer Burke, TPNN — Barack Obama has come under fire throughout his presidency for his dangerous foreign policy. The man who campaigned on the basis that he could get our enemies to like us just by talking to them has demonstrated an attitude that is either extremely naive or blatantly endangering the United States and the world.

At issue right now is Iran’s development of nuclear power. It is feared that if this Islamic state obtains such power, they will use it to develop nuclear weapons to be used against the United States and Israel.

Despite the fact that the U.S. has supposedly been in negotiations with Iran to try to stop the development of nuclear weapons, Obama made a frightening statement about why the Iranians should be trusted with nuclear power and not using such power to make a nuclear weapon.

During a recent news conference, Obama said that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamemei, has reassured him that the pursuit of nuclear weapons is contrary to their faith, so there is no need to worry about that as they develop nuclear power.

And Obama believes him?...

Kosher Restaurant Attacked In London
The Random President of the US Calls These Attacks “Random”

By Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs — This is now a pattern in European cities. The random president of the US calls these attacks “random.” #randomJewishlivesmatter

The tweets from CST (Community Security Trust), an organization who purports to protect the Jewish community, ring hollow. This is the same CST and Board of Deputies of British Jews that stood by and sanctioned my banning. How is the craven cowardice working out for you? Did it give you the protection you sold you soul for? It didn’t work for the Jewish Councils of Germany, either.

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
