When Certainty comes with proof

Submitted by St.Eve, Oct 21, 2013 20:47

Religious leaders should be asked if they have empirical proof of their God. Until they can all efforts should be made to develop uncertainty in the minds of devotees so that any acts of violence towards people of other beliefs wil be questionable

 

Congress places Cultural Marxism above National/Homeland Security

Submitted by Frank Livingston, Jun 12, 2013 15:42

Who said this, to whom, when, why and what have we ever done about it? Would you consider this statement to be contrary to our Constitution, our way of life, a danger to our National and Homeland Security? Would you think these are words of an enemy? Surely, our government has studied this but where is the reports?

"The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every musselman [muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise."

This statement was a part of a March 28, 1786, letter from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, the United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Continental Congress, concerning their conversation with the Tripoli ambassador as to why his pirates/terrorists hijacked our merchant ships, stole the ships and cargo while holding the sailors for ransom. (Thomas Jefferson. "The Papers of Thomas Jefferson". Princeton Univ. Press. pp. 9:358.)

Why are we failing to mention the obvious in the 1786 letter that still exists today? Here are the main points:

a. "it was founded on the Laws of their prophet";

b. "that it was written in their Koran";

c. "that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners";

d. "that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and";

e. "to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and";

f. "that every musselman [muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise."

Has our government studied this and if they have, where are the published reports?

Democracy must prevail!

The wave of Nazi terror came quite subtley, from a people who were humiliated after World War II. Hiilter was charismatic and inspired Germans to unite under his command, because he convinced them they are the superior race. The party Hitler belonged to was very politically ambitious, then it turned into a cruel, and ruthless regime to impose this horrible ideology that genocide is the way to handle people who do not agree with them.

 

Islam cannot be changed from within. It must be defeated.

Unlike Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism Islam is not reformable.
