Here is my piece on Christmas plots and threats, in today's Human Events:
Last Friday Belgian police arrested fourteen Islamic jihadists, and the U.S. Embassy warned of “a heightened risk of terrorist attack in Brussels,” while the Belgian Interior Ministry, according to Associated Press, “called on citizens to be vigilant through Christmas.”Also last week, police in the Philippines arrested an Egyptian Muslim, Mohamad Sayed, who was allegedly planning to explode a bomb in a southern Philippine city on Christmas Day.
And Abu Dujana, who identifies himself as the “military commander” of the jihadist group responsible for the 2002 bombings in Bali, warned last week that “there are other cadres out there” and that “it is their obligation” to attack non-Muslims.
Infidels the world over would do well to be especially vigilant this week -- although there is no necessary or direct correlation between jihad terror attacks and certain dates. Jihadists have an eye for the grand symbol, and this could conceivably take the form of a strike on a notable date such as Christmas. The arrests in Belgium and the Philippines indicate that jihadists could wish to mount a Christmas Day attack as they have previously frame attacks against a military landmark (the Pentagon) and an economic one (the World Trade Center). There are precedents: in 2000, 49 bombs were planted outside Indonesian churches just before Christmas – 18 exploded, killing 15 people and wounding almost 100 others. And on Christmas 2002, attackers threw hand-grenades into a Pakistani church, killing three and wounding 14. Also, in previous years, jihadists have chosen the Christmas season to ratchet up their threats.Jihadists might desire to sow this terror during one of the holiest seasons of the Christian year to emphasize that their conflict with the non-Muslim West is, as they see it, a holy struggle. Also notable in this connection may be the warnings we see from Islamic clerics every year: do not participate in the infidels’ festivities, do not wish them holiday greetings, do not endorse in any way what Muslim hardliners see as celebrations of infidelity and the rejection of God. An article posted recently on the website of the Khalid Bin Al-Walid Mosque in Toronto asks pointedly: “How can we bring ourselves to congratulate or wish people well for their disobedience to Allah? Thus expressions such as: Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Birthday, Happy New Year, etc, are completely out.”
Not unimportant in Christmas threats also is the fact that Osama bin Laden and other jihad terrorists not only see the War On Terror as a war against Islam; they also see it as a war being waged on behalf of Christianity. Jihadists routinely refer to the American armies in Iraq and Afghanistan as “Crusaders.” Al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who most frequently issues the organization’s communiqués, uses this term frequently; in an October 2006 message he issued a rather typical exhortation: “I urge you, in [the name of] the duty of jihad, which is incumbent upon every Muslim, to hurry and pursue martyrdom in order to kill the Crusaders and the Zionists.” Adam Gadahn, aka “Azzam the American,” the first American indicted for treason since World War II and a prominent Al-Qaeda operative, in a September 2006 videotape introduced by Al-Zawahiri himself, spent a considerable amount of time criticizing Christian theology.
All this puts the heirs of Judeo-Christian civilization in a peculiar position. Western leaders have been anxious to avoid the appearance that this is a religious conflict, while the other side seems avid above all to portray it as such. Westerners have been in the process of discarding Christianity, only to find it identified by Islamic jihadists as the most objectionable aspect of their way of life. For non-Christians as well as Christians in the West, this highlights the fact that the war on terror is a struggle over values -- and it is Judeo-Christian values such as the freedom of conscience and the equality of dignity of all people that are most objectionable to the jihadists.
In order to win, we cannot simply fight against the jihadists. We must be contending for something, and in the Judeo-Christian tradition there is a great deal to be proud of and defend. This Christmas, as the threats continue, that’s something to ponder.
‘Isa’- the Muslim Jesus

The difference is like day and night. I'm posting this for those who are not yet aware of how little we have in common with Muhammedans, although they keep telling us they 'respect all prophets'...
As God speaks to the serpent in the Garden of Eden after the great fall (Gen. 3:15):
“ I will put enmity between you and the woman,
And between your offspring and her offspring;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise his heel.”
The heightened jihadist activity during Christmas season is nothing more the stirrings of Satan’s extreme wrath at being roundly defeated by Christ’s supreme sacrifice on the cross 2000 years ago - a supreme victory guaranteeing that ALL may receive eternal salvation through Him, Jesus Christ, and ONLY Him.. Pray for the Muslims in their delusion!
Perhaps the Muslims are afraid of the power of Merry Christmas. They don't understand it so they have to kill it and get rid of it. They do understand that it gives us something that they don't have.
Last week when I stopped by a department store at 10:00pm to use a coupon that was expiring the next day, I parked a little way out so I could get some exercise. There was a couple in a new car and they looked like they were trying to park away from everyone else so no one would dent their car. They looked very tired and not too friendly. The gentleman who was driving had gotten out of the car to put something in the trunk and as his car was facing the opposite direction as mine, he was on my side as I got out of my car. He was just getting back into his when I said "Merry Christmas" and he and his wife lit up like a Christmas tree and wished it right back to me. Their whole mood changed. The smiles on their faces, where a few seconds before had been cares and fatigue, were big and bright and we shared a very happy moment on a cold winter's night. Their reaction bolstered my confidence and so I said it to everyone I met on my way into the store. I know they drove home happy that night.
Merry Christmas is that powerful. Robert is right, that our culture, and this power, is worth preserving.
To the question posed above, “How can we bring ourselves to congratulate or wish people well for their disobedience to Allah?" I say, how can we not? Perhaps Muslims are beginning to doubt, are tiring of their self-imposed abuse. It's incumbent upon us to keep the pressure on them until they crack and come back to the fold of humanity.
And so on this 2nd day of the twelve days of Christmas, I wish you all peace and blessings and a Merry Christmas.
This is what I have been saying right from when I first started posting. We are in a holy war, Crusade II if you will. The purpose for the first Crusades was to drive Islam out of the Holy Land and from Europe. Well someone stupidly left the door open and this is the problem we have today.
Just as they mean to make the whole earth Islam our marching order should be just as final. This scourge on mankind must be driven from the face of the earth.
Spiritually speaking discarding Christianity and its values leaves us defenseless. As the TV show of years ago said, "We need to get back to our roots." If we don't they have the high ground IMO.
2Cor 2:15-16
Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those being saved and by those perishing. To those who are perishing we are a fearful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved we are a life-giving perfume.
2cor 2:15-16
حياتنا هي العطر الذي قدمه المسيح الى الله. ولكن هذا العطر ، بصور مختلفة ، وينظر الى تلك التي يجري بها تلك المحفوظه وهلك. الى أولئك الذين هلك نحن مخيف رائحة الموت والعذاب. ولكن لأولئك الذين يجري انقذت نحن الواهبه للحياة والعطور
MERRY CHRISTMAS, ROBERT!

...AND, ROBERT--HUGH--MARISOL--GREG, A HAPPY NEW YEAR According to That Infidel Marvel, the Modern Gregorian Calendar Synchronous with the Solar Year to within One Day Every 20,000 Years!!
...Among other Inverted-Insult Salutations, I forgot Zealot-in-Chief of Crusader-Zionists (just ask Azzam al-Amriki)!
CAIR-Canada has posted a notice for Muslims to only say "Season's greetings" and avoid the word Christmas because Christ is in the word.
2 faced ba$tards that spew lies about the Quran being a book of Peace and tolerance while they coach Muslims to embrace the hatred embedded in the Quran by Muhhamad the pedophile .
Jesus is NOT a Muslim, and maybe CAIR-Can should be taken to the Human Rights Commission for insulting all Christians and inciting hatred towrds Christians and apostates of islam following a False prophet. Islam is becoming a joke because every time CAIR opines on the peace of Islam we see suicide bombers slaughtering children inside a Mosque and all Hooper can say is that "They aren't True muslims" .
Lets see how many Muslims demand to work on Christmas day , or do they still want the time off to spew hatred in the Mosque to denounce Jesus as a infidel and Christians as apostates.
truely a sick and twisted bunch of sheep following and exalting a murderer/pedophile .
