THE THIRD AND FINAL PHASE OF ISLAM: ‘ISLAM AS THE CIVILIZATION ALTERNATIVE’


Informing and Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom


“The Ultimate Goal Of Islamic Totalitarianism Is Achieved
First By Muslims Pretending To Be Peaceful,
Then By Subjugating And Killing All Non-Muslims”

Bethany Blankley, Western Journalism — The third and final phase of Islam involves widespread violence against the non-Muslim world Muhammad called “dar al-harb” (House of War). Under Islamic totalitarianism, world peace, “Dar el- Salam,” is achieved once every country is Shari’a-ruled.

The third phase of Islam is evidenced by dramatically increased attacks on non-Muslims, widespread massacres, and ongoing militia warfare when Muslims represent roughly 40 percent of a population. Reaching 60 percent, persecution of non-Muslims becomes constant. At around 80 percent, all non-Muslims are driven out of their homes and country through oppressive and unceasing violence.

This phase mirrors Chapter 9 in the Qur’an, which Muslim scholars believe is its final or nearly final revealed chapter. Chapter 9 abrogates the longer, earlier “peaceful” passages of the Qur’an, mirroring Muhammad’s actions in Medina when he initiated military raids and sieges. Muhammad biographer Ibn Ishaq, in Sira of Ibn Ishaq, describes a litany of violent acts committed by Muhammad and his followers.

In verse 5, known as the “Verse of the Sword,” Muhammad commands Muslims to proactively fight everyone who rejects Islam, to “slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive)…” The Yusufali translation clarifies, “fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war).”

In 9:29, Muhammad instructs:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger [Muhammad] have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth [Islam], out of those [Christians and Jews] who have been give the Book [the Bible], until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of [Muslim] superiority and they [Christians and Jews] are in a state of subjection [dhimmitude, third-class legal status].
In the third phase, Muslims are neither oppressed nor attacked. Their mission is to follow Muhammad’s example and instructions. Muhammad claimed he was “ordered [by Allah] to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped other than Allah…” (“la ilaha illallah,” Sahih al-Bukhari 6924). He ordered Muslims to “fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah…” (Sahih Muslim 30).

Well-known and respected Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir best explains this phase: “Therefore all people of the world should be called to Islam. If anyone of them refuses to do so, or refuses to pay the Jizyah, they should be fought till they are killed.”

Phase three is evidenced by the murder of more than 3,000 Americans on American soil in more than 75 terrorist attacks over the last 40 years. And Jews are the most targeted victims of hate crimes in America.

Muhammad describes Christians and Jews as “unjust,” the “worst of creatures” who will “dwell in Hell-Fire” (5:51; 9:30). Muhammad declared, “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim” (Sahih Muslim 4366).

In order to stop all three phases of Islam in America, the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood and their affiliated organizations must be exposed and terminated. The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Memorandum, “General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” outlines its “long-term plan” for America. In it, Mohamed Akram (Mohamed Adlouni) writes:
[For the] enablement of Islam in North America, meaning: establishing an effective and a stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims’ causes domestically and globally, and which works to expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying and directing Muslims’ efforts, presents Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic State wherever it is. (emphasis added)
Highlights of the memo reveal Islamic reasoning:
…the Movement must plan and struggle to obtain “the keys” and the tools of this process in carry out [sic] this grand mission as a ‘Civilization Jihadist’ responsibility” (pg 5).

“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…”

“[W]e must possess a mastery of the art of ‘coalitions’, the art of ‘absorption’ and the principles of ‘cooperation’” (pg 7).
The Memorandum lists organizations operating in America (pg 18, including CAIR, ISNA, and ICNA) representing both Shi’a and Sunni Muslims committed to following the Qur’an and creating Islam as a “civilization alternative.” These organizations must be closed and their members tried for treason.

It is a Muslim’s duty to transform all governments to Shari’a law. Muslims who follow the Qur’an reject the very principles, rights, and laws protected by the U.S. Constitution. Belgian leader Abu Imran explains: “democracy is the opposite of Islam. A Muslim who supports democracy is equivalent to a Jewish Muslim. It’s impossible to be both Jewish and Muslim and impossible to be a Muslim against Shari’a.”

World peace according to Islam, “Dar el- Salam,” is achieved once all non-Muslims convert or die. The ultimate goal of Islamic totalitarianism is achieved first by Muslims pretending to be peaceful, then by subjugating and killing all non-Muslims.

THE SUBVERSIVE SECOND PHASE OF ISLAM: LAWFARE AND SHARI’A COMPLIANCE


Informing and Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom


Shari’a Demands Totalitarianism,
Which Only Offers Two Choices: Comply Or Die

Bethany Blankley, Western Journalism — Recognizing the second of the three phases of Islam is critical for concerned American citizens to stop the ongoing subversive expansion of Islamic and totalitarian ideology throughout America.

All phases of Islam evidence regulation of religious, political, legal, and social norms, through judicial, militia, and/or military means under Shari’a law.

In phase two, the shorter chapters located towards the back of the Qur’an supersede the earlier transcribed texts, according to the Islamic doctrine of abrogation. They parallel the time in Muhammad’s life when he formed alliances with groups outside of Mecca and began fighting non-believers who rejected Islam (22:39,40).

Mirroring this time in Muhammad’s life, these texts apply to Muslims who have become or are becoming a majority in a neighborhood, city, or region. They outline the groundwork necessary to develop a totalitarian political system that eliminates a country’s existing laws.

This second phase is often referred to as “defensive Jihad” or “civilization jihad,” implemented once a Muslim population reaches between 10 and 20 percent.

One predominant approach of defensive Jihad is legal. Muslims seek to de-legitimize existing laws, redefine legal terms related to human rights, and silence and punish free speech through “lawfare.” Threats increase against non-Muslims via lawsuits and dissemination of false and/or misinformation.

For example, Dearborn, Mich., “protesters” assert that their “civil rights” justify stoning Christians. Muslim communities argue their “civil rights” enable them to use their own de facto legal system (Islamic tribunals) instead of state law. Muslims successfully and intentionally censor media coverage while promoting shari’a on public school property—without consequence due to intimidation, legal threats, and blatant discrimination.

The ultimate goal is to eliminate constitutionally protected rights under the guise of “Shari’a compliance.”

The Center for Security Policy reported earlier this year that in 32 states, 146 cases existed where litigants sought to resolve a dispute applying Shari’a law instead of state law. Previously, in 2011, it discovered that in 23 states, American courts applied Shari’a law to rulings that infringed the constitutional rights of women and/or children.

Last month, Michigan’s Taylor City Council unanimously approved a resolution supporting a campaign for shari’a under the guise of “hate based on religion.” Last year, Michigan’s transit authority, SMART, banned “Leaving Islam?” bus ads designed to help Muslim girls (American citizens) who are threatened and killed—on American soil— according to Shari’a apostasy and blasphemy laws.

Eliminating constitutional rights extends to the public school classroom. Under the guise of “world religions,” Common Core teaches Islam, violating at a minimum the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Taxpayers fund “Arabic Immersion” for public schools, teaching even kindergarteners in Arabic 50 percent of the time and about “Middle Eastern culture.”

Likewise, Jew hatred on American college campuses is actively encouraged, as is the teaching of Islamic ideology in Gulen Charter Schools, both funded by taxpayers.

The results of “defensive Jihad” perverting American law are devastating:

Increased honor killings of young girls by their fathers are occurring (girls are killed for being “too American” or for refusing to participate in arranged marriages)

Beheading coworkers for rejecting Islam is becoming more common, as is

Attacking soldiers on military bases because they meet the Qur’an’s “mischief-making” criterion; and

“Asylum seekers” justify bombing marathon runners to prove a point; or

Children are punished and shamed for opposing being taught Islam in school.

This legal approach is only one of many efforts to infiltrate and transform every area of society with Islamic ideology. Phase two involves:

Making financial and banking operations Shari’a compliant

Influencing political decisions related to local municipalities, cultural institutions, prominent landmarks, and educational and non-profit organizations,

Creating “charities” that receive non-profit IRS status, tax credits, and grants—that are indisputably linked financially and ideologically to terrorism, and

Funding Jihad training camps based in nearly half of America’s states.

Phase two clarifies a simple fact: Islamic political ideology encompasses every area of life rooted in Shari’a—for the worse. Shari’a demands totalitarianism, which only offers two choices: comply or die.

PHASE ONE OF THE THREE PHASES OF ISLAM: TOLERANCE AND TAQQIYA


Informing and Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom


In phase one, Muslims follow the Qur’an texts applicable to their minority status living in their particular socio-political environment.

Bethany Blankley, Western Journalism — It’s important for concerned American citizens to understand that Islam, which means “submission,” is not a religion. It is a totalitarian ideology that exists in three phases, all of which exist in 2015 America.

The definition of tyranny is “a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible.”

Islam, like totalitarianism, incorporates a complete system of life, integrating religious, political, legal, and social norms, regulated and implemented by judicial, militia, and/or military oversight, rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an, which means “recitation.”

The basis for legal and moral guidance, second only to the Qur’an, is the Sunnah, which outlines a system of obligations derived from the Hadith. The Hadith are canonical volumes of recorded traditions and sayings of Muhammad. Islamic scholars also reference within this framework the widely respected Sira of Ibn Ishaq, the earliest and most comprehensive biography of Muhammad.

Muslims consider the Qur’an to be the literal words of their god Allah (Sura 76:34) communicated by Muhammad, his prophet, to a scribe who later penned them to paper. The chapters are not categorized by topic, but its textual chronology parallels each phase of Islam.

Most important to understanding the Qur’an is the Islamic doctrine of abrogation (2:97, 106; 16:101, 102). Abrogation refers to a verse, sign, or miracle (“ayah” sing./“ayat” plr.) that supercedes another text with “appropriate or legal authority.” Verses transcribed later overrule previously transcribed verses.

The Qur’an’s longer passages towards the front of the book generally represent the “sacred” first phase of Islam, reflecting the earlier part of Muhammad’s adult life. Muhammad first introduced Islam in 610 AD to people living in Mecca and its surrounding regions who worshipped over 350 gods. They had never heard of Allah, didn’t believe Muhammad, and ran him out of Mecca after failing to kill him.

The first phase incorporates assertions of tolerance and peace to a society that may tolerate Islam while also not embracing or rejecting it. The longer, earlier texts in the Qur’an specifically apply to Muslims who emigrate and live as a minority in a new country. These “peaceful” or “moderate” Muslims generally equate to less than or roughly 5 percent of the population.

Despite their smaller population’s size, Muslims will still assert disproportionate changes, first through demands, then threats. Minority populations demand that food banks and food stamps be halal, that offensive bacon signs be removed, or that a pig farmer living on his own private property move elsewhere to “cleanse the land.”

While asserting disproportionate changes, Muslims also will communicate messages of “tolerance” (“You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion” (109:6), “there is no compulsion in religion” (2:256)), fully aware of their minority status similar to Muhammad’s when he lived in Mecca.

It’s essential to understand that those who claim Islam is peaceful are either practicing taqqiya–Qur’an sanctioned deceit (3:185)–or are afraid. Muhammad’s companion, Abu Ad-Darda, said, “we can smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.”

Fear is due to the known punishment for apostasy and blasphemy under Shari’a law. Harvard Chaplain Taha Abdul-Basser and Ground Zero’s Imam Abdallah Adhami clarify the necessity for the death penalty and imprisonment, respectively, for those who leave Islam. (“Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him” (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57; punishment for rejecting Islam is death including crucifixion and dismemberment “wage war against Allah and his apostle and strive to make mischief in the land” (2:191, 5:32,33; 9:5, 123, 29)).

Over time, and several generations later, Muslims gentrify neighborhoods legally as citizens but still view themselves and their new society as foreign, philosophically rejecting the West’s definition of citizenship.

In phase one, Muslims follow the Qur’an texts applicable to their minority status living in their particular socio-political environment.

DID YASSER ARAFAT CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY BEFORE HE DIED?


Informing and Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom


It Wouldn’t Surprise Me To See Him In Heaven

F. Peter Brown, Western Journalism — Is it possible that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat may have converted to Christianity before he died? That’s what RT Kendall, a prominent Christian writer and speaker, said recently.

Kendall, the former minister of Westminster Chapel, was granted a rare 20 minute meeting with Arafat in which Kendall informed Arafat that he had prayed for Arafat for every day for the past 20 years.

The planned 20 minute meeting turned into a one hour and forty five minute meeting that became the first of five meetings with Arafat.

Kendall claims that he spoke to Arafat about the gospel message of the Bible, including of course the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Kendall said:
“It wouldn’t surprise me to see him in heaven. I’ll tell you why. I prayed with him five times, anointed him with oil, I gave him a [salvation] prayer…I’m not saying I know that he’s saved; I’m saying I wouldn’t be surprised.”
Kendall claims that on the third visit, Arafat watched The Passion of the Christ and wept at the film.

He also says that interpreters tried to shut down his conversations with Arafat, but that Arafat insisted that they continue.

Yesterday. Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat’s successor, marked the anniversary of Arafat’s death with a speech in Ramallah.

Khaled Abu Toameh of the Gatestone Institute commented: “Like Arafat, Abbas has become hostage to his own rhetoric. How can Abbas be expected to accept any deal that does not include 100 percent of his demands – in this instance, all territory captured by Israel in 1967?”

Obama Stunned When Called-Out By Reporter:
‘It Is A Fact That Your Party Rejected You’

By Greg Campbell — President Obama was forced to come before the American people on Wednesday and face the music. The nation has rejected the Democrat leadership that has dominated the Senate for eight long years and in a midterm that most-always serves as a referendum on the president’s job approval and his party’s direction, the American people made it clear that they have had enough of the “hope and change” agenda that has continually fallen short of high hopes.

On Wednesday, President Obama offered a mixed message to the American people on how he intends to deal with a Republican-dominated Congress. While he did offer the seemingly obligatory remarks geared towards cooperation, the President who’s executive theory can best be defined as rooted in assumed regal authority also promised further executive actions that remain outside the confines of his Constitutional authority.

“Today I had a chance to speak with John Boehner and congratulated Mitch McConnell on becoming the next Senate majority leader,” Obama began. “And I told them both that I look forward to finishing up this Congress’s business and then working together for the next two years to advance America’s business.”

Obama also promised,

“I’m eager to work with the new Congress to make the next two years as productive as possible. I’m committed to making sure that I measure ideas not by whether they are from Democrats or Republicans, but whether they work for the American people.”

However, during the same speech where he promised collaborative efforts, Obama promised to act unilaterally.

“Before the end of the year, we’re going to take whatever lawful actions that I can take,” he warned. On the issue of immigration, Obama claimed that he would do “what we can do lawfully through executive actions,” but in a manner sounding more like extortion than legitimate political leadership, Obama offered, “You send me a bill that I can sign, and those executive actions go away.”

The press conference continued on as reporters questioned Obama’s intention to rule unilaterally. However, a tense moment arose when CNN’s Jim Acosta pushed the President on the Democrats’ apparent rejection of the president and accused the President of being a “lame duck.”
“I know you don’t want to read the tea leaves, but it is a fact that your party rejected you in these mid-terms. By and large, they did not want you out on the campaign trail in these key battleground states. How do you account for that?… What do you make of the notion that you’re now a lame duck?”
President Obama offered a canned response that promised he would do everything he could to “help make this world a better place over these last two years.”

Obama’s grip on the Senate has slipped and though he spoke of cooperation, also promised unilateral action on issues he feels are important. For years, the Democrats have maintained that the GOP is the party of obstruction, but with hundreds of bills ready to be brought to the floor of the Senate, it has seemed that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has served as the true obstructionist and as Republicans in the House and Senate pass bills, it will be up to the President to sign them or otherwise explain why he will obstruct the legislative process....

Defiant Obama Vows To Bypass Congress
By Garth Kant, WND —
The day after a massive midterm defeat that gave the GOP control over both houses of Congress, President Obama struck a conciliatory tone, but the content of his news conference remarks was defiant as he promised to move ahead on his goals with, or without, the consent of Congress.

Obama repeatedly claimed a desire to work with Congress, but he also promised to take unilateral actions where he thought it important and to veto bills he did not like. The president predicted, “Congress will pass some bills I cannot sign,” and that he and Republicans would continue to disagree on passionately held positions....

Unrepentant Obama Vows Immigration Executive Action This Year
Newsmax —
President Barack Obama's determination to act alone to change the immigration system promptly drove a wedge Wednesday into the post-election commitment from the president and Republican leaders to find common ground under the new political alignment.

Obama defiantly stood by his pledge to act on his own to reduce deportations, grant work permits and improve border security by the end of the year despite resounding election victories by Republicans strongly opposed to his plans. The Senate's likely majority leader next year, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., declared that such a move would amount to "waving a red flag in front of a bull."...

The Pro-Abortion Phony Baloney
“War on Women” Has Been Defeated

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com —
If there is one main takeaway from Tuesday’s mid-term elections, it’s the fact that the phoney, baloney “war on women” is over. Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and their pro-abortion allies have desperately tried to tag pro-life groups and candidates with the anti-woman tag by claiming the oppose women by virtue of the fact that they oppose abortion and being forced to pay for abortion-causing drugs.

Last night’s overwhelming victory for pro-life candidates showed the abortion-centered ‘war on women’ strategy has completely failed. Most of the candidates in top-tier races where the war on women tactic was employed won their races.

Abortion darlings Wendy Davis and Sandra Fluke lost their bids for re-election and Davis even lost with women voters. Not only did Davis lose, but she lost by the biggest margin since the 1998 Texas gubernatorial election.

As Allison Howard of Concerned Women for America asked: “If Wendy Davis and Sandra Fluke are the leaders of a so-called war, and they both lose…is the war over?”...

McConnell, Boehner Ignore Border, Immigration, Amnesty Crisis
In Wall Street Journal Op-Ed
By Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart —
There were two messages from Republicans on the morning after their sweeping victory in the 2014 midterm elections. One was that voters had elected Republicans to stop President Barack Obama's agenda. The other was that voters had elected Republicans to depose Harry Reid and break the gridlock in Congress. Both messages are correct, and reconciling them will be the toughest task facing new Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The first, and decisive, test will be Obama's proposed executive amnesty, through which--it is suggested--he may try to defer indefinitely the deportations of millions of people who broke the law to enter and/or stay in the United States. Alarmingly, McConnell failed to mention to topic of amnesty in his joint op-ed with Speaker of the House John Boehner in his Thursday morning op-ed in the Wall Street Journal setting their new agenda....

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

Joel Osteen: Not The Pastor America Needs,
But The Pastor We Deserve

Osteen isn’t preaching the Gospel. He’s preaching quicksand.

Steve Deace, Western Journalism —
Let’s begin with a pop quiz. If I told you a well-known public figure did the following:
Repeatedly denies the main focus of the Gospel.
Consistently watered down and distorted Biblical teaching.
Believes the purpose of human life is to glorify yourself and not God.
Which side would you say such a person is on?
1. Heaven
2. Hell
The “person” in question here is none other than Joel Osteen, otherwise known as “America’s Pastor.”

Pastor of what exactly is open to interpretation, depending on the prevailing winds of pop culture and what helps pad the bank account at the time.

It’s been said the greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world he doesn’t exist. Satan doesn’t usually show up in a bright red suit and a pitchfork. No, the devil knows we are visually and sensually driven creatures. So Satan is usually glamorous, titillating, and smiling with a bright double-decker of pearly whites. Never forget the most poisonous serpents are often the prettiest.

We fall for it because we judge based on what’s on the outside; and from the outside, Joel Osteen has it going on. He lives in a $10 million mansion with his movie-star gorgeous wife. He’s the rare 51-year old man with six-pack abs. His publicity tours generate so much demand that scalpers can ask for up to $850 per ticket. He renovated an NBA team’s old arena for $105 million to house the nation’s largest “church” there. His estimated net worth is at least $40 million.

From the outside, Joel Osteen lives a life the world covets. There’s just one problem with that. I can’t think of a single truly great figure in the 2,000-year history of Christianity who didn’t pay some kind of worldly price for defending the faith—beginning with Christ himself at the Cross. On the other hand, it seems as if the world is paying Osteen quite handsomely for the self-esteem gospel according to Joel.

By the way, while the Cross where Christ died for the sins of the world is the most recognized symbol in history, you won’t find one of those at Osteen’s “church.” You won’t find too much talk about suffering, sin, and salvation, either. Instead, you’ll find a lot of shiny, happy people. Just like Joel Osteen. A team always takes on the characteristics of its (life) coach. After being beaten, imprisoned, ship-wrecked, and beheaded for his beliefs, the Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament, would be unrecognizable to Osteen’s adherents.

Happiness draws a crowd. We all want to be happy. The problem is what often makes us happy are the instruments of our destruction. For example, we do drugs to be happy, which is why we call it “getting high” and not “getting low.”

But God sees what’s on the inside. And what He sees is that something is very wrong with the inside of us. We’re spiteful, greedy, selfish, dishonest, lustful, prideful, and at times capable of unspeakable evil.

Despite what the progressives claim, we’re not getting any better, either. Nowadays, parents sue for “wrongful birth” because they didn’t get the chance to kill their own kids before they were born; and moms publicly boast about “wishing everyday” they could kill their children. The 20th century was the most technologically advanced, prosperous, and educated century in human history—and also the bloodiest.

Thankfully, Joel Osteen is right about one thing. God is good, and He does want what’s best for us. That’s why He sent His Son into the world. Not to condemn the world, but so that through Him, the world may be saved from its own (our) wickedness. Unfortunately, this is not the message preached in any of Osteen’s sermons, books, or DVDs.

Meanwhile, in Osteen’s hometown of Houston, the lesbian mayor he prayed a blessing over when she took office has been busy trying to intimidate the church into silencing its public witness. While his peers were being threatened with persecution, Osteen was silent. But cut Osteen some slack–he’s got “A Night of Hope” events booked all over the country. He’s a little preoccupied at the moment, and paying customers get their hope first. It says so right there in the contract.

So why wasn’t “America’s Pastor” singled out for standing up to his pagan mayor’s attempt to redefine morality in his city? When you learn the answer to that question, you’ll know why Osteen is so popular. A culture drowning in its own selfishness, arrogance, and materialism can’t get enough of the forked-tongue philosophy he’s peddling.

Osteen isn’t preaching the Gospel. He’s preaching quicksand.

Obama ‘Using Federal Law To Target Christians’
Purpose ‘is to discriminate against religious organizations
that oppose abortion’
By Bob Unruh, WND —
Obamacare has been the subject of litigation since it was launched, and there have been numerous accusations – that it is unconstitutional, that it violates religious rights, that it invades privacy, that it goes beyond government authority by ordering consumers to purchase a product, and more.

Now a new lawsuit has been filed arguing that the Obama administration is using the law to attack groups of faith that do not support the White House agenda of contraception and abortion for all....

Is There Really A Separation Of Church And State?
We must not allow the government to enforce or mandate
any religious doctrines or tell us how or what to believe.
By Leigh H Bravo, WJ —
Is there really a separation of church and state? And has the current administration honored it? Have Democrats around the country been stepping on our rights of Religious freedom?

In February, President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast and said: “It’s also clear that around the world, freedom of religion is under threat…..No society can truly succeed unless it guarantees the rights of all its people, including religious minorities.” But is that being practiced here in the United States? Are our religious freedoms being taken from us one day at a time? We continue to see case after case where this “separation” has been challenged....

‘Something Fishy’: Dems ‘Offer Door Prizes For Votes’
Republicans seek probe of possible violation of law
By Gina Loudon, WND —
Claims of vote-buying in Illinois apparently aren’t limited to Chicago, according to accusations by Republicans a few hundred miles away. In Pike County, GOP leaders charge the Democratic Party held an Oct. 25 event that advertised “free drinks, food and door prizes” to entice Democrats to vote early.

A copy of an mailer promoting the “Democrat Voting Rally” was initially brought to the attention of Pike County Republican Chairman Robert Browning. He told WND: “I knew there was something fishy right away when they were promising free food and prizes to come out and early vote.” The event was held next door to an early voting location, GOP officials said....

Andrew Klavan: Is Obamacare Working,
Or Are We All Going to Die?
By Andrew Klavan, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt —
Is Obamacare working, or are the death panels that the administration swears don't exist already heading to our houses to "cut costs" even as we speak?

Democrats are saying that the Affordable Care Act will not be a major issue in upcoming elections, so it’s safe to say that the Affordable Care Act is going to be a major issue in upcoming elections. The Affordable Care Act — sometimes nicknamed Obamacare to denote its oppressive incompetence — is the law designed to increase health insurance coverage by allowing you to sign into a computer program so frustrating it’ll give you a heart attack and kill you, making the whole issue moot....

Muslims Capture Christians, Take Them To Slaughterhouses, Dissect Them While They Are Still Alive, Rip Their Organs Out, Kill Them, And Then Sell Their Organs To Turkey And Saudi Arabia
By Theodore Shoebat, Shoebat Foundation —
Muslim Albanians in Kosovo are capturing Christians, dissecting them alive, tearing out their organs, killing the victims, and then selling the organs to Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the two major nations of the Antichrist. We learned this from a local Serbian Christian and veteran Special Forces officer in Serbia’s military, named Lazar. We interviewed him and this is the information he conveyed to us. He said “They also kill people and sell their organs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.” He then said, They abduct people in Kosovo, Serbian people — in some cases Albanian people — and they take their organs… they torture the people and take their organs while they are still live.

He added that the victims are mostly “Christians serbs, young women, and men, and also children.” Here is the interview in which he explained this to us...

Obama’s Unpopularity Might Cause
Record Losses For Democrats In Midterms
RT —
If President Barack Obama were on the ballots on Tuesday, he would not fare very well, as a near-record-high number of Americans view him unfavorably. And his unpopularity could negatively affect Democrats’ chances in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Half of Americans have an unfavorable impression of the president, with 44 percent viewing him favorably, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. His unpopularity is even worse ‒ 53 percent ‒ among likely voters. Last November, Obama’s unfavorables hit a record-high 52 percent among Americans. And the six-point difference between those who see him favorably versus unfavorably is the worst the president has ever faced....

‘Her Highness’ Michelle Obama Gives Black People ‘Permission’ to Eat Something After Voting and You Won’t Believe What It Is
By Jennifer Burke, TPNN —
During an interview on Roland Martin’s program on TV One, a station that targets black viewers, Michelle Obama made a statement that many media outlets are discussing. She said that no matter who is on the ticket, ‘our community,’ i.e. black people, should always vote Democratic. She also said black youth need to be taught to always vote for the Democrat, no matter who it is, what they’ve said, or what they’ve done.

As if that isn’t bad enough, she made another highly questionable and racially charged statement. In fact, had Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, Marsha Blackburn, or, heck, even Mia Love or Tim Scott had made this statement, by virtue of the fact that they are Republicans, the Left would have a field day with their racist accusations and demands for apology.

But their Michelle “Antoinette” said it, therefore, the Democrat Media Complex is silent. Here is what she said. (transcript courtesy of the Gateway Pundit, transcribed by Kristinn Taylor)
Martin: So can we, if we go out to the polls, can we say, we have ‘souls to the polls’ on Sunday, can we do ‘soul food after we vote’?

Obama: Absolutely, I give everyone full permission to eat some fried chicken after they vote only after—if you haven’t voted…(laughter.)

Martin: Just checking!

Obama: You make a good point because I am, I do talk about health. But I think that a good victory for Democrats on Tuesday, you know, should be rewarded with some fried chicken.
That’s right, black folks. The benevolent Michelle Obama has given you permission to break her healthy food guidelines and eat some fried chicken if, and only if, you vote.

No, you can’t have a hamburger, pizza, or buffalo wings. I suppose that treat is reserved for white folks.

I’m surprised she didn’t encourage black people to wash it down with some red soda and have a side of watermelon....

Our Enemies Are On The Ballot Today As Well And Remember,
They Have A Vote
By Allen West —
Today is the critical 2014 midterm Election Day and I won’t beleaguer you with many posts today, but here’s something about which we need be aware.

As President Obama touted, his policies are on the ballot today – but I haven’t heard any candidates or incumbents discussing his foreign policies at length.

Obama’s solution to the ISIS crisis was to arm the Free Syrian Army — we have written often about how that is a flawed strategy. As former Commandant of the Marine Corps General James T. Conway stated, it didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding — and it only took three months, from August 8th, for that prediction to come to fruition.

[See full article link below for entire story]...

The Guardian says, “Kobani has become a defining struggle between ISIS and the U.S., as much as it is between the jihadis and the Kurds who, with U.S. help, beat back an advance on Irbil in August. If ISIS was able to take Kobani it could boast a significant victory. A victory over the secular Kurds would help advance its hardline interpretation of Islam, which has seen it rule areas it controls along strict medieval precepts that are rooted in an uncompromising understanding of Islamic teachings.”

The ideology must be defeated foremost. The enemy must then be destroyed in detail. The failed policy of doing neither is on the ballot today.

It is a time for choosing....

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
