ISLAM: SUNNI VS. SHIA

TALKING THE WALK WITH DEREK GILBERT

ON EDITION 312 OF ‘VFTB’

ONE OF the faults of us Americans is a failure to understand much of what happens outside our borders. Until recently, many of us (Derek included) had no idea there was a fundamental and long-running hatred between the Sunni and Shia branches of Islam.

Author and speaker Avi Lipkin, who will be one of the featured speakers at the Rocky Mountain International Prophecy Conference, stopped by our office in the Ozarks to discuss Middle East geopolitics and how the religious war in Syria will ultimately impact Israel and the world.

Also: Replicas of the gate to the Temple of Bel (Ba’al) coming to London and New York, cities already connected by matching ancient Egyptian obelisks; scientists design laser defense system for the Earth; and CIA’s venture capital firm invests in skin care products that collect DNA.

TIMOTHY FURNISH: WHAT ISIS BELIEVES

Talking The Walk

IT IS difficult to address a problem that one willingly refuses to acknowledge. That is apparently why our president, his spokespeople, and our major media suggest jobs programs, social media, and getting moms talking as responses to the horrific violence committed by the Islamic State, even as the group openly declares its intentions and methods.

Dr. Timothy R. Furnish, a consultant, researcher and author on the topics of Islam, Mahdism, Jihadism, Shi`ism, and other Islamic sects, discusses the eschatology of the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), how much its religious beliefs differ from mainstream Islam (hint: they really don’t), and how the group’s view of end times prophecy directs its bloody political, military, and religious agenda.

[MONTAGE] RUSH LIMBAUGH: OBAMA CONTRADICTS HIMSELF ON IRAQ

America’s Number One Radio Talk Show

Obama: “There’s No Military Solution In Iraq,
So I’m Sending 300 Military Advisors
-- But They’re Not Gonna Take Sides”

Partial Transcript

RUSH: Anyway, here’s Obama, the first sound bite. It’s a montage. This is exactly how we would prepare it if we were trying to do this on TV.

OBAMA: We’re prepared to send a small number of additional American military advisors, up to 300, to assess how we can best train, advise, and support Iraqi security forces going forward. The United States will not pursue military options that support one sect inside of Iraq at the expense of another. There’s no military solution inside of Iraq, certainly not one that is led by the United States.

RUSH: Now, as soon as that bite finished playing, the studio audience would be rolling in laughter, because it’s outrageously hilarious. Every sentence is contradictory. “We are prepared to send a small number of additional American military advisors, up to 300, to assess how we can best train, advise, and support Iraqi security forces.” Okay? Then, “The United States will not pursue military options to support one sect inside of Iraq at the expense of another.”

Well, then what are we doing training the Iraqi security force? They are one side. And then, “There’s no military solution inside of Iraq, certainly not one that is led by the US.” This, folks, is non sequitur after non sequitur. This is absolutely ludicrous. None of this, put together, makes any sense. It sounds wonderful to a bunch of pacifists. It sounds wonderful to the changing demographics of America, the people who are tolerant and who are minority and want equality and fairness. Why are we sending anybody if we’re not choosing sides?

‘YOU NEED TO BE AFRAID’

JUSTICE WITH JUDGE JEANINE

‘Opening Statement’

“ISIS Is Dedicated To Building An Islamic State Dedicated To
The Slaughter And The Massacre Of The Infidels”

“Judge Jeanine Pirro cautioned that Americans must be afraid as “the nation of Iraq teeters on the brink of total destruction.” Watch her opening statement above, and read the transcript below.”

---

I’ve spent a great deal of time over the last two years analyzing and criticizing what I believe are major blunders by the Obama administration more interested in winning elections, changing the demographics of our nation, and creating a socialized state where dependency is the norm than protecting the safety and security of hard working Americans.

Now, you know me. Most of the time, I’m fearless. I’ve spent my life fighting, investigating, prosecuting, and sentencing the worst of the worst.

But tonight, I’m worried. You may not know where places like Baghdad, Aleppo, Tehran or Fallujah are, but if you don't think that what happens there matters to you, you're wrong!

And I don't care if you live in Beaumont, Texas, New York City, or Anaconda, Montana: you need to be afraid.

Because of his feckless foreign policy, President Obama - a man with no foreign policy experience - who doesn't learn a thing from his foreign policy blunders, a man who prefers to surround himself with political operatives, our nation - once the world's super power - has been minimized on the world stage and is neither respected nor feared.

[See full transcript...]

And get this: although there were only 800 of ISIS soldiers against 12,000 Iraqis trained by the U.S., the Iraqis were so fearful, they dropped their weapons, they dropped their uniforms and they even left a bank open for plunder.

And now ISIS has a half a billion dollars in its hands.

The bottom line: the country of Iraq is another burning cauldron in the Middle East being overrun by those who seek to create an Islamic caliphate that considers us infidels, and is dedicated to the killing of nonbelievers and our destruction.

Yes, indeed, you need to be worried.

SENIOR DHS ADVISER: “INEVITABLE THAT ‘CALIPHATE’ RETURNS”

Breaking News, Politics, National Security

DHS Adviser: “America Is An Islamic Country
With An Islamically Compliant Constitution.”

Adam Kredo, The Washington Free Beacon — A controversial senior adviser to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is receiving criticism for tweeting that the recent takeover of Iraqi cities by a violent terror group is proof that a Muslim “caliphate” is making an “inevitable” return.

Mohamed Elibiary, a controversial figure and member of DHS’s Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), discussed what he described as the “inevitable” return of a Muslim caliphate Friday on Twitter.

“As I’ve said b4 inevitable that ‘Caliphate’ returns,” Elibiary tweeted in response to a question about the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (also known as ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham), which is currently seeking to overthrow the Iraqi government and instate strict Sharia law in the country.

“Choice only whether we support [European Union] like Muslim Union vision or not,” wrote Elibiary, who has “advised numerous federal, state and local law enforcement organizations on homeland security-related matter,” according to his biography on DHS’s website.

Elibiary has come under heavy criticism in the past for claiming that America is “an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution.” Critics have said that such rhetoric makes him unfit to serve as an adviser for DHS, which is tasked with defending the U.S. border from terrorism.

Elibiary, in his more recent comments, went on to claims that conservatives “misread” the 9/11 terror attacks and “should reassess” their “belligerence.”

The discussion began with Elibiary mocking CNN for reporting on ISIL’s implementation of strict Islamic guidelines in the Iraqi territories it has seized.

“CNN just broadcast list of ISIL hudod [restrictions] rules,” Elibiary tweeted. “Reminds me of how we were outraged pre 9/11 by Taliban banning white socks 4 women.”

The remark prompted Twitter user David Reaboi, a former official with the national security group Center for Security Policy (CSP), to ask Elibiary if ISIL’s actions should prompt outrage in the United States.

That led Elibiary to claim that it is “inevitable” that a caliphate return.

“So you’re in favor of supporting that ‘inevitable’ Caliphate or not?” Reaboi asked.

Elibiary responded that the United States is moving to engage with radical Islamic groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and others.

“As I’ve stated b4. Y’all in the [national security] ubber hawks camp misread 9/11 & should reassess ur belligerence,” wrote Elibiary, who claims that his tweets reflect on his personal opinion.

Elibiary has a history of making controversial remarks on Twitter.

In November of last year he faced a fierce backlash from critics for saying that he considers America to be “an Islamic country.”

Elibiary also stated at the time that “sociologically speaking” the Christian right is “similar” to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that he has described as “pragmatic” and “non-violent.”

Elibiary also has argued in the past that the Muslim Brotherhood poses no threat to the United States and once referred to former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi as “Egypt’s Mandela,” a reference to the recently deceased South African leader.

Elibiary’s controversial rhetoric and support for the Muslim Brotherhood has drawn criticism on Capitol Hill from lawmakers such as Reps. Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.) and Louie Gohmert (R., Texas).

Elibiary also has experienced financial difficulties with his non-profit group, the Freedom and Justice Foundation, which had its non-profit status revoked by the IRS due to the organization’s refusal to file transparency forms revealing the sources of its funding.

Elibiary did not respond to an email request for comment and explanation of his tweets. A DHS spokesman also did not respond to a request for comment on the comments. » Full Article

ISIS TERRORISTS SING OF SLAUGHTERING JEWS, CHRISTIANS

America’s Independent News Network

“A Free Press for a Free People”

» Watch ISIS/ISIL Video Here

‘Break The Crosses And Destroy
The Lineage Of The Grandsons Of Monkeys’

WND EXCLUSIVE — Its haunting repetition of the same few notes and open harmonies give a new video from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL, a definite Middle Eastern flavor.

Its message about killing Jews and Christians ties it securely to those members of Islam who follow the Quran, observers say.

The video, which is being publicized by the Middle East Media Research Institute, comes from ISIL, a part of the forces that now are reaching out across the Middle East to establish a Shariah-enforcing religious state.

MEMRI observes, interprets and analyzes media offerings throughout the Middle East.

Officials at the Religious Freedom Coalition note the singing is about “slaughtering of Jews and Christians and establishing an Islamic dictatorship.”

“These killers are marching victoriously through Iraq today, murdering thousands in Syria; and terrorizing unarmed citizens throughout Africa,” the organization said. “They’re on the march and Obama helps them through his inaction or by directly supporting their efforts in nations like Syria.”

While the singing is in the ISIL’s native language, the titles that flash across the screen are in English.

They include:

Oh soldiers of Truth, let’s go.
Repeat the tune of endurance.
A light has illuminated Shaam [the Levant],
so rally all the soldiers.
The Islamic state has been established,
so wipe out all the borders.
Wherever our wars goes,
Jewish rabbis are humiliated.
Oh soldiers of Truth, let’s go.
Repeat the tune of endurance.
A light has illuminated Shaam [the Levant],
so rally all the soldiers.
The Islamic state has been established,
so wipe out all the borders.
Wherever our wars goes,
Jewish rabbis are humiliated.
Break the crosses and destroy the lineage of the grandsons of monkeys.
The state of monotheism will remain in spite of the lies of the hateful people.
Oh soldiers of Truth, let’s go.

Various sections then are repeated.

The date on the video is less than two weeks ago, just as a new campaign by Islam adherents appeared to be launching across Iraq.

Those jihadists since have announced “The March” to Baghdad, promising those who stand in their way should know “tragedies will befall you in the coming days, Allah willing.”

That documentation also comes from the Middle East Media Research Institute, which said the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS and described as more fearsome and violent than al-Qaida, issued a statement after two recent suicide bombings, a car bomb that targeted police forces and another hitting soldiers in Sadr City.

“We say to the [government] and its parties, militias and security apparatuses: be aware that tragedies will befall you in the coming days, Allah willing.”

The statement said: “Following the recent victories that Allah granted ISIS, and the arrival of additional manpower, funds, weapons and military vehicles of all kinds, your brothers in the Baghdad province – may Allah liberate it – in coordination with other provinces, announce the initiation of a new campaign that we have called ‘The March.’ The heroes of battle and raging lions already carried out the first surge of this campaign when two knights of Islam (suicide bombers) set out to demolish two strongholds of the … government and its lackeys.”

» IRAQ INSURGENTS LEADER TO CAPTORS: ‘I’LL SEE YOU GUYS IN NEW YORK’
Newsmax — Lead Story

The future leader of the militant army sweeping through Iraq had some chilling words for his guards in 2009 when he was released from Camp Bucca, the largest U.S. detention camp in Iraq at the time: "I'll see you guys in New York."

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's words weren't really taken as a threat, Army Col. Kenneth King, the then-commander of the internment camp told The Daily Beast, because al-Baghdadi knew most of his captors were from New York.

Most of the reservists were with the 306 Military Police Battalion, based on Long Island, and were drawn from New York police or fire departments. In addition, the camp was named for FDNY Fire Marshal Ronald Bucca, who was killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11.

But King said he was surprised to learn that al-Baghdadi was the leader of the extremist army threatening to overrun Baghdad...
