Theseus

Peace... funny word peace. Spelled one way it could mean tranquility silence and calm. Spelled another it could mean a part of a whole. Here is the gist of the situation, people have become too politically correct. Why do I say this because when someone disagrees with what you have to say even if it is in factual evidence, they will try to come at you with PC terms like hater, racist, oh the children! and any other PC term that has become negative in this world. You may not be any of those but since you have shown an ugly truth to which they rather not see the light of day, they come at you in all their vilest ways. Are we to espouse that a person wanting to stop the hatred, mutilation of women and children, to stop the killing of women in the guise of Honor or whatever else is the argument du jour, cannot be for the very thing when it is they themselves who espouse divisiveness with mere words? The mantra "Stop the hate" is so passe and utopian but when it is bantered about the one saying it somehow has all the music of the heavens play and the angels sing all their glory upon this person. This person could do no wrong. Beneath their false facade and bravado they claim to have, they are doing more harm than they ever could and they are totally the opposite of what they portray themselves to be. I remember a time when speaking with Muslims that they claimed I was a racist because I dared speak the truths of Islam and debate them using only their texts. Their claim got shot down rather quickly because being a Muslim is not a race no more so than a being a New Yorker is a race (they might be something else entirely but I digress). A civil debate with a person or group of persons cannot be had when there is no argument that comes from their side. "Stop the hate." is not a viable topic nor is it a comeback to the question at hand. It is more visceral from those whose lips it is spoken with as much hate as they claim you have. While the utopian dream is for every person on this god given planet is for no hatred towards fellow man kind, the reality shows us even that the utopian dream is no more than that and that it will ever be. How can a person espouse to this utopian dream with all their heart and soul turn around portend they have no hatred in their own hearts? Dig deep enough and we all find hatred in our hearts in some form or fashion. However, one should not proclaim "Stop the hate" when they wish to silence the truth because in the end their wanting to keep the dark on that very truth makes more and more people turn to hate the very thing they wish to silence and it shows the hatred they have. People are people. You cannot change that fact. Whether we are old or young, brown or green it does not matter for we are all people. Islam needs to have the truth told about and not the so called peaceful verses that have been abrogated. Truth is their prophet once proclaimed through the verses in the Quran to be friends with Christians and Jews but it didn't take long before the Allah he spoke to turned on them and vile verses descended upon their prophet in a convulsive vision akin to an epileptic fit. Islam was created at the whim of one man who claimed could neither write nor read. And yet he somehow managed to run Khadija's business very profitably before he wound up in the cave talking to the angel of light. Me thinks those who doth protest too much are hiding something very grave and very evil. Until the world learns the truth of this treacherous vile evil cult, they will way over protest to very souls on earth they wish to harm. Now I shall return to my stupor as I work on my studies to increase my wealth by increasing my productivity and knowledge in the realm of IT to become a better productive member of society. However, speak to me of Islam and you will not hear hatred, you will hear truth that you should go and determine for yourself whether it was truthful or not. I may pop up now and again but the individual who prompted this soliloquy from me today has more hatred in her heart than that I have seen from anyone else on this forum and yet it is her that shouts from the highest roof top "Stop the hate!". Good night and whatever you believe in, keep believing and keep your faith in that.

Ooh...Ooh...ooh can I make a prediction on when the RV will happen? Why thank you so very much for obliging me this opportunity. Okay here goes.... My prediction: The RV will happen on the day it happens, not one day sooner and not one day later. On that day, this site shall no longer exist. And a little advice: let your little feet run as fast as it can to wherever you go to cash in. I will follow you in a bit. Smiles. Is my prediction negative? Nope. See there is always a light at the end of the tunnel unless the tunnel caved in. DISCLAIMER: I renounce any guru status that I may claim, you may claim or the world may claim I may have attained in reference to that of the IQD RV or whatever it may be. /s off Have a good day and keep your head in the clouds and your feet firmly on the ground. (LOL that reminds me a story of Adam in the quaran and hadiths. nevermind.)

If your father is in heaven, then what do you call your male biological parent, (assuming that parent is still alive)? If we are supposed to honor our father and mother, and the father is in heaven, who and where is the mother? /s off Christianity can and does reform. Islam can't and will never reform. Only one place in the bible that I know of that Jesus did not speak in Parable and spoke in the literal to his disciples. That was the time he told his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy a sword. Jesus was for peace but knew force when needed was necessary. This is why I continue to say(have for many many years) Jesus never said to lie down and die for your enemy.

First this plane was five miles up when it was shot down. The reason this was shot down as opposed to some sort of malfunction that brought the plane down is the debris field stretches for miles. Bodies have been found miles away from where the majority of the craft crashed into the ground. Second, the missile system was introduced in the 80's with a semi-autonomous radar on board the missile. The missile system is known for being shot at smaller aircraft and should there be a larger aircraft flying in the vicinity, to switch from the smaller to the larger aircraft and take that one down. 4 of these missiles can shoot down up to 6 aircraft. Lastly, the Ukrainian rebels have denied they even have this missile system but a week ago a journalist took pictures of this same exact system in the hands of the rebels and the rebels have also boasted about this system on twitter. IMO, this system comes from Russia and Russia is backing the rebels if they are not outright russian soldiers without markings.

Thank you for the update...but I must comment that just because there is no mention of something in a MSM newspaper does not portend it to be good news. For example the Obama Admin IRS debacle wasn't even reported by the MSM for weeks. Not one article or report appeared on the top 3 broadcast stations or even in the major newspapers of the country. Then a trickle appeared and then the floodgates opened and people took notice. USA Today is part of MSM. So please just because something is NOT reported doesn't mean that everything is hunky dory. I am in the mindset that any threat ever so slight, should be taken seriously until shown otherwise. ISIS may not have the boots on the ground to take Baghdad now but given enough time and backing they will have them. Al-Qaeda was the same way when Osama Bin Laden was in Ethiopia. He started off as a construction firm, gained followers and trained his men, all while Clinton, with his funny laugh and his famous expression (best Clinton voice) "I did not have sex with that girl.", was in office. 4 years can be all ISIS needs to put boots on the ground. First they must prove themselves, then using that proof recruit followers to their cause. This takes time. The majority did not hear of ISIS until they invaded Iraq this was their shining moment. Its how they got their name out. Its how they advertised who and what they were. Now they have shown what they can do, who they are and how they go about doing it, all that is left for them to do is to recruit followers. I stated in another thread ISIS was being capitulated to and that is true. Once funds, equipment and the sort starts flowing into ISIS then they will expand. As far as news goes from Iraq, I view it all as if Baghdad Bob were saying it. Remember there were no tanks rolling into Baghdad but those were some funny looking cars with turrets. Dinarian stated Sorry; to douse ur flames but eye don't see ne way to verifeye that information. It really looks like mis-information to me- esspecially; the way its written. Journalists from the Washington Post would not have those kinds of typoes... Dinarian I corrected some of your typos and added my own. What I did was transcribe what you said into this post. Could it be that other people/journalists do that too? The title states WaPo but there is really no exact quotes from WaPo in the article. I don't think WaPo would kindly let some other news for profit organization(or even not for profit) copy and paste the work their employee did as it would infringe on copyright laws foreign and domestic. People are people, been saying that for years.

First Ramadan fasting is not the same type of fasting that you may have done, jcfrag. Fasting during Ramadan is done from sun up to sun down. During the time there is no sun, you may eat whatever you like (within the bounds of Islamic dietary restrictions). Second, uncirculd, Islam views the cross as an idol that Christians worship and as such Christians practice idolatry. They are not afraid of the cross as much as they disdain idols. Throughout Islamic history, it is well known that muslims will conquer and destroy symbols of any other region in the lands they have discovered and then erect mosques on top of those former religious sites such as churches and temples. The architecture of the very first mosque is said to be copied from the architecture of the christian church in Constantinople. This ideology was at the very center of the mosque/islamic center wanting to be built near the WTC site. To understand the Islamic thinking that Christians perform idolatry with the cross you would have to understand the reason for why there is a black rock in the center of Mecca, why the that rock is covered with cloth and the history of the area before their prophet fled to Medina then came back to Mecca. The time before Islam is said to be the dark times. All Arabic poetry, books and things of worshiped were destroyed once Islam came onto the scene and those items were discovered (except the black stone). Eagle Eye, Islam has been wanting to drive the Isrealites into the sea since the advent of Islam way back to the 7th and 8th centuries when their so-called prophet of peace was an outcast of Mecca and his own family. Lookip the Pact of Omar. Since the 7th and 8th centuries Islam has persecuted the Jews and has sought to eradicate them from the face of the Earth. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem is said to have gone to visit Hitler and convert him to Islam. There is good evidence of this as in pictures of the two of them together. It was also said that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the spokesman to the Germans on why and how they should eradicate the Jews and Hitler bought stock in this. So I don't think the ME has forgotten nor have the Jews. Especially when the word "crusade" is still a sore point to the muslims. The drive to push Jews into the Sea did not just happen once Isreal became a state recognized by the world in the 20th century, it goes back much further. As far as Palestine ever being a country, where is there evidence of currency solely belonging to Palestine? Palestine has always been a state of a much larger nation, like Roman Empire or Ottoman Empire. Palestine as a country has never existed and there is no such thing as a palestinian as a race of people before the 20th century. The current palestinians were the outcasts of Islamic countries throughout the middle east. There are far greater numbers of these people in Jordan and Lebanon than there are ever in Isreal. Lookup the attempted overthrow by them of Jordan. In Jordan and Lebanon they live in tent cities who are really not allowed to venture outside of these to live. Jordan and Lebanon treat palestinians far worse than Isreal does but its only Isreal that gets condemned for not taking them in.

The best advice anyone can give is to do what is right for you. And that you can only make a decision on it. I have been where you are now and currently still there. Heck I even accidentally sent out a bill at the wrong time of the month and went into the red on my checking account. I looked at my dinars to get me out of the hole. I then determined this: The dinars I own are like my table lamp they will sit there until I need the light. They are worthless to me until the RV, should it ever happen. I see no value in them and believe they have no value until they are RV'd. To me the money I spent on them is gone like I ordered a hamburger and ate it. Seeing the dinars this way will prevent the temptation you get from wanting to cash them in until the RV happens. Do what you have to do and if you do cash them in and after the crisis is over and you get back on your feet, buy them back. Selling dinars is much lower than it was a couple of months ago because the influx of people selling after ISIS invaded. The cost to buy has relatively remained unchanged before then.

4. Gunmen in Baghdad attacked two apartment buildings a brothel in the upscale Zayouna neighborhood and killed some 29 women prostitutes and their pimp and his henchman. It was apparently the work of Shiite militiamen (the hard line Mahdi Army is being revived to fight the Sunni ‘Islamic State.’) It has been years since this sort of attack has occurred in the capital. The rival puritanisms of the Sunnis and the Shiites may be ramping up. Number 4 fixed to correctly reflect the situation that actually happened. Prostitution is punishable by death in Islam. But owning slaves is still perfectly acceptable in Islam.

Djorgie wrote" "Didn't they or weren't they just recently considering changing the law so that men could marry girls as young a 8 or 9 now? It is pure evil perversion and child sexual abuse. It's so disheartening that parents would allow this to happen... and that they would actually encourage it." Djorgie, it has always been the way of Islam that a girl may marry after she has had her initial menses. However, if we take the words from the Hadiths and use the Mother of Islam, Aisha's own words that appears there (I will paraphrase here but it will be as close I remember) Aisha stated she was 9 when she consummated the marriage with Mohammed. (Maggie might claim this is a weak hadith but the contrary is that Aisha is one of more authortative figures when it comes to the traditions and translations of Islam.) Before people rant and rave this is a hot button topic because people who do not understand the culture like to throw the "pedophilia" word around when this discussion comes up. Also, it has been proven that the Hadiths were changed to reflect current views on the subject and to hide the truth. The point of Islam, Sharia and god knows what else, is that they submit to Allah but follow in the steps of their prophet, Mohammed who is their intercessor. Thus the question then becomes, if it was okay for Mohammed to marry and consummate the marriage to Aisha at such a young age is it okay for a follower to also do so? The answer is a resounding yes. While you or I may think this totally disgusting and immoral, the opposition to this will point out the fact that here in our own western society our women too married young. For example, Juliet of Romeo and Juliet was said to be the age of 14 in the play. I know that is a play, but it is a reflection of the time period. Even today we see laws in which the age of marriage is 14 in the United States under certain circumstances. To understand the motive one must understand the culture. We cannot look through the eyes of our current culture to form an opinion on the culture of what has happened in the past. Do I condone this, heck no I do not. Let me respond to Maggie. See Maggie it is much easier to claim someone is a hater (racist, Islamophobe etc.throw in the nom du jour) than it is to concede to the truth. I have heard all the talking points you could use to oppose me in the arguments I posted above. Wikipedia, in itself is biased by the authors whom add to the article. Jihadwatch itself is biased but I pointed to that website because they highlight terrorist attacks that usually go unoticed, such as Honor Killings. I can point to many pages on the Wikipedia site that have a revisionist history that are not even related to this discussion. I purposely robbed you of your talking points to respond to these points I mention and I knew where you would head. You want to claim because, shown in a civilized discussion, I disagree with you and that I claim your argument is basically wrong that I must be a hater or an Islamophobe (btw I am neither in case you are wondering) or whatever hateful label you want to throw out. That doesn't work with me as I have way more experience in this than you could ever imagine. I still think I have a fatwah on my head. Everything I have said in my posts is truthful. It can be backed up by facts. I can show you the verses in the Quran where it states that Jews are the descendants of Apes and Pigs. I have seen the unfettered clips on memri.org of the Mullahs in the Mosque on a Friday night rile the congregation up and spew vile hate towards Jews and Christians. Here is a surprise for you, MEMRI.org is run by Muslims not by Christians, not by Jews but Muslims who live in the Middle East. I have heard hate towards Islam from an apostate whose family was killed because that single person chose to disavow Islam and become an apostate. That person spent many nights and many days running for their life. No where on this Earth is that person safe from the tentacles of Islam who preaches that the punishment for apostasy (after three days given the chance to repent) is death. I did not make these laws. These laws come from the Quran. I always find it amazing the only thing a person can do when confronted with cold hard truth is say you are a hater. They never try to discredit the argument but instead launch an attack on the person. I guess its easier to discredit the person and allow the lies to continue for the cause. Whatever it takes. Right? So let me ask this of you Maggie, which Islamic countries are not considered extremist in Islam? If a country's laws are that of Al Sharia and a country can only be Islamic if they follow Al Sharia, is that country extremist? Do you pick and choose what laws to follow in Al Sharia as you pick and choose to follow certain verses of the Quran? Remember the Quran and Sharia law come from Allah. The Hadiths are man's interpretation of the words of Allah. Because you refuse to see the apple, does not mean the apple does not exist. Nor does it mean the apple is anything but an apple.

Maggie, I don't mean to bemoan you but a muslim who follows their faith MUST follow their Quran and Hadiths. A muslim cannot choose to not follow bits and pieces of the Quran because it suits them as the very nature of the Quran is that the Quran is from the voice of Allah via the angel of light who appeared to Mohammed in the cave and when he would have his convulsive fit visions to come up with a new verse in the Quran. Islam has seven pillars, what are those seven pillars? These are the very tenets of Islam. While it is very true that the founder of Islam took the words of the Quran from the Bible and Torah, you cannot necessarily use Christianity as an apple to apple comparison to Islam. This is what propagandists in Islam want Christians to do, use this comparison of Christianity towards Islam to convince the world Islam is just like Christianity and thus like Christianity with all of its faults nonetheless peaceful. Its not and never will be until all the infidels have converted and Islam is in the House of Peace - Dar Al Salam. A faithful muslim WILL apply the Quran and Hadith messages to today's conflicts in hopes for a resolution. Whether or not that can be done, I won't go that far as that is a discussion for another time. All too frequently a non-muslim will bring up from the quran a book and verse number (e.g. 9:5) and 100% of the muslims I have ever talked to and I have talked to a great deal, will say you are not muslim and you are taking that out of context. Even when you know the history and context of the verse, they will tell you its simply out of context to defeat the argument. I have spoken to many many muslims since before 2001 and long after. I have spoken to apostates of Islam, I have spoken to converts to Islam and I have spoken to muslims who put on the charming smile and demeanor and you find out later, with their own words that come from their own lips, that they are really something else in disguise. I have spoke to the victims of Islam, I have spoken with Assyrians and Copts, I have spoken with Christian Palestinians (who by the way no longer live in Isreal). I grant you not all muslims want to kill infidels, but isn't a muslim who committed shirk nothing but an infidel? And in Islam according to Al Sharia what are you supposed to do with those who commit shirk? The Ottomna Empire was almost destroyed by a sect of Islam called the Wahabis who went through the middle east killing those who committed and shirk. It is from this movement in the mid to late 1800's, that came the phrase push the Jews into the sea. You think because the news speaks about radicals those are few in number? Take a look at how many muslims are in the world? The world has what 5 to 6 billion people and Islam claims to have 2.03 Billion devotees and only 10% to 25% of those devotees are radicals? So what is 2.03 billion multiplied by 10% to 25%? Anything over 1 million is way more than a few even on a whole. A few is a couple of people coming to your house for dinner. A mob is anything more than 10 to 20 people. Let me ask you this, of those remaining, how many pays the zakat ( a tenet of Islam (pillar) found within the Quran which you claim a muslim following his faith but does not follow the Quran)? Here let me ask you this in another way, I drive a car for a two people who go in and rob a bank. In the process of robbing the bank three people in the bank are killed. The two robbers then run out of the bank into the car I have waiting for them and we all take off with the spoils of our conquest. Why am I just as responsible for the killing of those three people as if I went into the bank and pulled the trigger? Am I just as guilty or am I not? So why are the so-called moderate muslims, faithfully following their faith but not the quran, who pay zakat to the mosque in which it has been shown that money flows towards terrorists hands not guilty? Before you say there are people who do not pay the zakat, the zakat is also removed from employees paychecks in places like Saudi Arabia and other muslim countries. A lot of people say go to the source, so I have. I am sure you have heard of a website called www.memri.org ? Have you been? Has anyone on here been to this site? Another a little bit biased but its called jihadwatch.org. MEMRI - stands for Middle East Research Institute has videos that have been translated into English from the mouths of everyday people from the Middle East. Most of the people in these videos are not even considered extremists by any sense of the word but listen to what the advocate for and how they want to accomplish what they advocate for. Would you claim the television shows in the Middle East that portray jews eating babies and drinking their blood as extremist? But yet it is a popular theme over in the middle east in what we would call soap operas. Before I end this, I once called and talked to a person from CAIR. We had a discussion over the telephone in which she proceeded to tell me the Western version of Islam was the correct version - peace, love etc. She then proceeded to tell me that the version found in the Middle East (the birthplace of Islam) - hate the kafir, jews are the sons of apes and pigs, slay all the infidels (my translation from KSA says infidels) as it states in 9.5 etc. - was incorrect. I have to ask you which version of Islam do you prescribe to and if Islam is in a continual state of Dal Ar Harb <sp?> , then isn't taqquiya (According to the hadiths, Mohammed said it was okay to lie in three circumstances, the practice of taqquiya is said to be due to one of those circumstances) perfectly acceptable here in the United States an kafir country? Before you respond, please know that I have forgotten way more than I remember about the intricacies of Islam, Quran, Sunnahs and the Hadiths. Second, please do not respond in kind thinking I am a Christian because I am neither Christian nor Jew. Do not use Christianity nor Judiasm to justify the ills and achievements of Islam. If Islam cannot stand on its own two feet, then how does it ever stand a chance to become the dominant religion in the world knowing that it is a descendant from two other religions? Shouldn't it be from Allah? If Islam must use Christianity and Judaism to justify its very tenets, doesn't that in itself go against the teachings of Allah in which Allah never changes his words? Well this might not get posted but here goes... Side note: why are these arabic numbers 1,2,3 but yet in the Quran it uses a numbering system from India?

I posted about this last night around 12 midnight EST and by that time the information was already 7 to 10 hours old. The information has been coming out of other sources than the AP which apparently picked it up early this morning. The Wall Street Journal ran an article on it yesterday and a simple search engine search can tell you this isn't just coming from the AP. Declaring the Caliphate state and Al Baghadi declaring himself the Caliph has deep ramifications for everyone involved and not yet involved. The last Calipha was during the Ottoman empire in the early 20th century and when the Ottoman Empire fell so too did the Calipha. The reason why this has deep ramifications is because no matter which Islam you subscribe (or even if you are not muslim), if you do not recognize the Caliphate you become the enemy of Islam and by the very nature of all things Islam, you become an infidel. In that case you have 3 options: 1) Capitulate and recognize the Calipha for what he is and if not muslim must convert to Islam, 2) Pay the Jiziya as what is being requested of the Christians now (1 oz of gold per family up from 250 dollars per) or 3) Die by one of the punishments that has been ascribed to in the Quran. Crucifixion is one of those punishments, as well as the amputation of opposite hand and foot, as is beheading. One or two things can happen here. First, the majority of Islam accepts the new Caliphate. Or they reject the Caliphate. If the majority of Islam accepts this caliphate, there are those that have been capitulating and have already voiced acceptance, then the only outcome of this is a blood until the world has been conquered by all of Islam. If the majority of Islam rejects this new Caliphate, then the outcome is again blood because the false Caliphate will need to be destroyed and truly decimated. The outspoken claim to the world that al-Baghdadi is the calipha has put this splinter group of Al-Qaeda so far ahead Al-Qaeda its not even funny. By telling the world that Islam has a new Calipha and a Caliphate has so many deep ramifications for Islam that it endangers everything Iraq is doing. Why? First, the Calipha has just made Iraq obsolete and any other Islamic government. Any and all nation states should they accept the new Calipha now cedes their governance to the self proclaimed Calipha, Al-Baghdadi, and ceases to be whatever country they are. All non muslims, or those who were muslims - meaning they do not accept the Calipha and and the Caliphate, have 3 options I mentioned above. Paying the jiziya is not done like you pay a water bill or like a cable bill. Usually those who pay are humiliated and that humility is done to degrade the person paying this so called protection money for which the Copts in Egypt can attest to this fact. If you cannot pay and will not convert to Islam, then its simple, you die by one of the three ways ascribed to in the Quran. If you think that this is nothing more than Little Boy calliing wolf one too many times, remember the end of the story, the wolf did come. The wolf is here. So far little has been done about it. IF a coordinated effort is not enabled and emboldened now to put this down in its infancy, this cancer will spread like a wildfire with Santa Ana winds behind it. Eventually it will become too large to ignore and when it does, it will be too late then. Islam does not translate to peace. Islam means "to submit", to surrender. Ask a soldier in the Gulf Wars, what the Iraqi's said when they surrendered to the forces. This has now grown exponentially larger than a civil war or a muslim war between a couple of renegade rebel factions, Syria and Iraq. This has gone so much further than that and those who say to stay out of it has no clue what this means for them or the world at large.

From obama's mouth to your ears (okay eyes): “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” -Barack Obama, Page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope." ISIS declared a Caliphate and have been crucifying many in Syria and it is continuing in Iraq... This is one of the punishments from the Quran being doled out. You think the House of Saud would like to continue to live under the rule of no calpihate. I thinkk so as there is too much to lose for the House of Saud should a Caliphate come into existence.

Via wall street Journal and other news sources: http://online.wsj.com/articles/isis-declares-new-islamist-caliphate-1404065263 ISIS Declared a New Islamist Caliphate. Just do a search (using your search engine of choice) on this and you will find many articles from many sources like WSJ, FOX and others. As of this writing this about 10 hours old and is a very important development. Here is an excerpt: BAGHDAD—The Sunni Islamist militant group whose three-week blitz through northern Iraq has nearly upended the country’s fragile unity announced itself as a new Islamist “caliphate” on Sunday, unilaterally declaring statehood and demanding allegiance from other Islamist groups. The announcement, recited in Arabic on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan by spokesman Abu Mohammed Al Adnani into an audio file, effectively renames the group the Islamic State, canceling its previous title of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS. “We have had all the requirements of the Islamic state like fundraising, almsgiving, penalties, and prayers and still have only one thing which is the caliphate,” said Mr. Adnani in the recording. “The legality of all emirates, groups, states, and organizations, becomes null by the expansion of the caliph’s authority and arrival of its troops to their areas.” The spokesman also declares the group’s leader, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, as the new Islamic State’s caliph. The recorded message was recorded on an Mp3 audio file and distributed through the group’s expansive social media presence. The announcement revives the idea of an Islamic caliphate that hasn’t existed as a recognized political entity since it was abolished 90 years ago by Kemal Atatürk, the first president of modern Turkey. There have been various caliphates throughout Islam’s 1,400-year history. The last one, which was governed by the Istanbul-based Ottoman Empire, extended across vast lands throughout North Africa, the Persian Gulf, Eastern Europe, modern Greece and Iraq. A few days ago we have stated that soon they will demand allegiance (Bay’at) to this arising power. In every major Arabic media from BBC Arabic, Al-Arabia, Al-Hayat to Al-Quds, the word “Ba’yat” (allegiance to the Caliphate) is on the headline (here, here, here, here, here) This will stun Muslim fundamentalists globally to go in full-throttle that a Caliphate is no longer in sight, it’s become a reality. Now we can even see The Wall Street Journal, a reputable secular source use this terminology, the same terminology used in the Bible regarding the threat of Antichrist. Christians need to read their bibles about “giving allegiance to the beast” or choosing death which will mostly be carried out by beheading in Iraq and Syria. The doubting Thomas must wait and see either the prophets were perfect guessers, or indeed, there is a God. Now the ISIS will begin to force everyone to give allegiance to Al-Baghdadi. We doubt that Al-Baghdadi will be the ultimate Caliph, but with the Caliphate established now in Iraq, what is expected is more carnage. Shoebat.com was able to obtain leaked photos of multiple crucifixions by the ISIS: Just look at the photo above. Expect studded crosses as far as your eyes can see. The Muslim ISIS who hates the cross loves to use it. During the Arab Spring, we stated that the Arab Spring will evolve into an Islamic winter. We said it on Fox News and we were mocked. But we were right. It is necessary now to learn more Islamic terminology. Begin to learn “Hiraba” and what that is all about. Hiraba is Islamic law regarding punishments and now you will begin to see it applied in full force in all the areas that the Islamists control. We said it two years prior to the success of ISIS and now you are beginning to see it in full force. “Hiraba” comes straight from the damned Quran: “The punishment of anyone who fights against Allah and His apostle and do mischief in the land is to be killed or crucified or to have their hands and feet from opposite ends or be banished from the land.” (Quran: The table spread) It includes 4 styles of punishments; public execution (Qatl), crucifixion (Salb) and as crazy as it sounds amputating one hand and one foot from opposite sides (Yuqata’ Aydihim wa-Arjulihim) or exile (Nafy). The intellectuals will finally realize that the entire Arab world will be taken over by totalitarian Salafists and Jihadists that will not offer equality between all human beings. So what now will become of the Christian Arabs? They are not Sunni. There are millions of them in the Fertile Crescent, in Iraq and in Syria. Expect countless crucifixions.

Kurds have always wanted their own nation and it was floated to give them their nation after we toppled Sadam (to break Iraq into three countries - Kurds to the North, Sunnis in the middle and Shiites in the south). The problem is Turkey does not want to give up land and neither does Iran to the Kurds. The kurds claim a portion of each those country's land as part of theirs like Palestianians with Isreal. They blocked the separation of Iraq into three states. Quite frankly the Kurds won't be happy until they are governing themselves in their own nation.
