Leftists and Islamists team up because they of the same spirit. That spirit is one of hatred, it is one full of murder. It hates God and rejects His creation so it creates its own creation, a lie, within its heart. It is a heart of murder and rage, just as God's heart is of love and peace. Just as the godly speak and understand truth, they speak and understand lies.

What is their real "politics", not the lies they claim? They are unified, though each is out for their own self. They are unified in a cause which all devotees of evil seek. They seek global totalitarianism. This is their primary cause: the cause of bringing tyranny and oppression to every person on the planet.

The Muslim cries, "I hate the athiest." Yet, why do they work hand in hand?

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and sought to enforce athiesm on those people. Over a million Afghans were slaughtered in a ten year, brutal war. The United States did not want this athiest, totalitarian empire to take Afghanistan. So, we helped these people fight back.

Yet, who is it the Muslim hates today? Russia? Or the United States?

Far worse then this all evidence notes that they always hated the United States. In fact, the Islamists who came to Afghanistan hated the Afghanis there, the non-religious Muslims who were just fighting for freedom. They would kill them. They eventually ended up taking their country from them through wicked intrigue known of Satan's children, and they imposed a cruel, totalitarian system on them.

From that cruel nation they proceeded to launch attacks on the United States.

Why... is the American Black standing up for this religion? How uneducated are we about the Muslim that we do not know the Muslim conquered and enslaved much of Africa? How is it that the African-American would turn his back on his own people and support the most ruthless tyrannical invader Africa has ever known? This invader is still ther! This very day! He is commiting genocide in Sudan and is running slaves. He is massacring Christians in Nigeria and other countries.

Is this not surprising that you see Arab faces in many of these African nations... because unlike the European colonialists, the Islamist kills the men and rapes the women.

Still, it is not the Arab who is this way naturally, but the Arab who has drunk the poison of Islam.

Also slated to receive recognition is Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, the 6-term representative from Decatur, Georgia. Since her election to Congress in 1992, McKinney has earned the reputation as an outspoken leader for human rights, an ardent advocate for peace, and a determined worker for justice. -from the link

Re: "plight of the Palestinian people and the recent atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon,"

Bray and ANSWER types are driven by a deep hatred of Jews and this causes them to have blindness to realities that contradict their hatreds. For example, it's ironic that ANSWER and Bray types are so concerned for Arabs (Semite-Caucasians) in Gaza and Lebanon, while Arabs are exterminating Negro Africans in Darfur.

The truth is that Israel and Darfur would suffer the same fate except that Israel has the military power to resist. Perhaps the Supreme Almighty God is requiring a balance from the Arabs for their crimes in Darfur and elsewhere and has and will use Israel as a terrible swift sword of revenge for Muslim crimes committed in Darfur in the name of God.

Maybe this is your ANSWER, Mr. Bray.

When I see the words "Congressional," "honor," and "muslim activists" -- the hair on the back of my neck stands on end!

I don't like to see those words connected together in the same sentence -- makes me nervous; I start think bad thoughts and bad words come to mind like "treason," "traitor" and other words like "legislation" seem to connect themselves irresistively to those bad words and form sentences that I don't wish to repeat!

Am I just connecting the wrong dots together or does the whole thing in a word, stink?

Lest someone try to play the "race card" because of the color association I can tell you that I was on a flight recently in the U.S. where a couple of Hispanic passengers were talking (en espanol) about their recent conversion to islam from catholicism.

It occurs to me, that this same kind of "Congressional Hispanic Caucus" may someday also convene to honor "Mahdi someone else" in the future.

Can someone enlighten me as to how the Congressional Black Caucus to honoring Mahdi Bray is in keeping with an oath of office?

I can't see it.

Because there exists a nexus between between those on the left and islam, part of that nexus is political blacks as they constitute one of the pillars of the Left.

Since Christianity is the religion of the white man, in their eyes, so then is islam the religion of the organized, non-white opposition. Thus the feeling of soliditary with islam. When a black American becomes political, he turns to islam, as a way of organizing his/her animosity towards caucasions, America, and western society in general. Malcolm X was the personification of the "angry black man" and remains so for millions of equally angry black men today.

It is also a question of cultural pride. Since there are no great religions indigenous to animist Africa, islam fills in nicely as the religion of the politicaly-aware black man.

This is why islam sells so well to blacks who are criminals in the prison sytem. It is a form of protest against their jailers - oppressive white society - while also being a way to discover a much needed, more regimented lifestyle, without having to turn to Christ for that - the white man's messsiah.

So whether it be organized feminints, anti-poverty activists, marxists, socialists, the ACLU, or black activists, they all constitute the political body of the Left. So they all have their own reasons for joining in a nexus with islam. But political blacks have the greatest motivation. Not only do they support islam, but unlike the other pillars of the Left, they actually convert to islam. After Martin Luther King, virtually all the hard core black africans have happily abandoned their natural faith in favor of the universal war cry of islam.

An enemy of an enemy is my friend.

All this is absolutely terrifying.

We are watching subversion at work from inside America.

Bray’s continuous media appearances, and his outspoken support for Muslim political prisonerssuch as Ahmed Abu Ali, Dr. Ali Al-Tamimi, and Dr. Sami Al Arian

POLITICAL PRISONERS ?

AL ARIAN has accepted deportation not to face a second trial for supporting TERRORIST organizations !

The Congressional what honors the activist who supports what ?

The American People should be more widely informed anout all this.

Thank you for posting this thread.

I am terrified.

And, the message of Dawa changes, tailored to each audience.

To the American blacks, the Israel factor is emphasized, playing on longstanding 'tensions' between blacks and Jews(in specific of blacks towards Jews). When all else fails, blame the Jews.

By contrast to the 'reality' image of Israel in the Black community(in specific here, among the black 'leadership') is the mythical, pure image of Islam. See Spike Lee's movie Malcolm X. Here the purity of Malcolm finds purity within true Islam. For the first time in his life, he finds white men who treat him as brothers(at the Haj of course). His eyes are opened towards this beauty within Islam during his Haj. By contrast, the evil machinations occur at home within Black Islam, but true Islam is kept pristine in Lee's movie. Here again, Lee's use of Jews in his movies always inspried controversy(for good reason).

My post here isn't just an academic. Lee's movie has inspired converts to Islam--most notable that disturbed, liberal, guilt-riddled teen who loved the movie so much, he ended up converting and fighting for the Taliban . . . the infamous American Taliban.

Perhaps my 'anti-semite' radar is up, but while the black leadership clings to Bray . . . as they clung to any opponent of Jews, note the cold shoulder by Jackson, Sharpton and that vile Maxine Waters to Lieberman in favor of Lamont. On the surface, it was just about the war. It's always about the war. We love Jews, just hate Israel kind of mentality. Yet, Joseph Lieberman marched with King et al in the 60's. Did Lamont? He was probably getting spoon fed oat meal from his maid at the time.

Muslims are crafty, using each wedge in the American fabric, causing angst, hurt feelings and a riping apart of the American fabric. Their message is tailored to the blacks, just as CAIR crafts and uses a slightly different message with her endorsment of those 'esteemed scholars' who are now condemming the insidious, pernicious power of "The Lobby" and how that damms America. No doubt, another grievance would be used against the Kashmiris; the plague of Hindu occupation; or against the evil government troops(aided and abetted by the US) in the Phillipines. So they must be crafty, but when in doubt, simple Jew hating usually works.

What the heck is the email address of the CBC? Please send them this:

Tell me it ain’t so, that you would promote someone who actively seeks to destroy the value system that you hold so dear. While Mr. Bray is so passionately being an advocate of Arab prisoners of war, what has he done to bring an end to the slaughter of his black brothers by his Arab brothers? And what has he done to stop slavery in the Arab world? Why does his organization praise Islamic terrorist organizations? What has he done to help end the endless violence in Africa being waged by his Islamic brothers?

----------------------------------
According to The Muslim Link's August 4, 2006 issue:

"Last month’s record setting Muslim March on Washington, Bray’s continuous media appearances, and his outspoken support for Muslim political prisoners such as Ahmed Abu Ali, Dr. Ali Al-Tamimi, and Dr. Sami Al Arian are just a few of the examples organizers feel justified in recognizing Bray.

An event organizer adds:
"Given the significance of the CBC and their Annual Conference, this is a prime opportunity for dawah", says Jameel Alim Johnson, one of the event organizers. Johnson adds, by holding this event we have the chance to (1) invite an influential sector of America to the path of Islam; (2) increase the allies of the Muslim community in positions of influence; and/or (3) at least reduce the numbers of those who are misguided about Islam in the ranks of government and business leaders."
More background on Bray is available from Jihad Watch here.

From World Net Daily: "Muslim activist gets congressional award"

WASHINGTON - The Black Congressional Caucus tomorrow night plans to honor a Muslim activist whose organization once publicly admitted it sought to impose on America an Islamic Sharia state.

Imam Mahdi Bray, the executive director of the Muslim American Society, will get his award at the caucus' "Middle East Briefing and Pre-Ramadan Brunch" at the Grand Hyatt.

The Muslim American Society was formerly known as the Muslim Brotherhood in America, a secretive organization whose goals included turning the U.S. into an Islamic state, according to an investigative report in the Chicago Tribune [in] 2004. Officially, today, MAS denies any desire to turn America into an Islamic state.

The newspaper report quoted from the Chicago chapter's website: "It includes reading materials that say Muslims have a duty to help form Islamic governments worldwide and should be prepared to take up arms to do so. One passage states that "until the nations of the world have functionally Islamic governments, every individual who is careless or lazy in working for Islam is sinful." Another one says that Western secularism and materialism are evil and that Muslims should "pursue this evil force to its own lands" and "invade its Western heartland."
Those passages later were sanitized from the website.

Last month, MAS teamed up with ANSWER, a coalition of socialist and communist activists, and the National Council of Arab Americans in sponsorship of a "National Emergency March in Washington.

A number of leaders for ANSWER -- Act Now to Stop War and End Racism -- were members of the Workers World Party and now belong to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a Marxist-Leninist organization founded in 2004.

Along with the "plight of the Palestinian people and the recent atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon," the Muslim group says it will focus on the war in Iraq and "the continuous violation of civil rights and civil liberties within the American Muslim community."
The Freedom Foundation is the public affairs arm of the Muslim American Society, which calls itself the largest grassroots Muslim organization in the country, with more than 50 chapters nationwide.

As WND reported, the MAS held a rally in July during which a Jewish activist was physically assaulted and threatened.

The event at Boston's City Hall Plaza was the group's "Justice for Palestine and Lebanon Protest." Signs brought by participants included some calling for "victory" for the terrorist group Hezbollah and the "Palestinian Resistance."

In a WND interview, Bray blamed the United States and President Bush for the war between Hezbollah and Israel. Bray said that while there are "no clean hands" in the escalating violence, the United States has failed completely. "We have the "capability of doing something," he said. "Our position is not defensible that we have not used our leverage to obtain a cease-fire."

This year's other Congressional Black Caucus honorees include its own chairman, Mel Watt, Michigan Rep. John Conyers, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Cynthia McKinney, Georgia Democrat.

Time and time again the Congressional Black Caucus
Shows where it's loyalties lie and it's not with the United States or it's people.

Posted by: uradumone at September 9, 2006 12:58 PM

I have always thought that it is more than curious that David Duke and his inspiring hate links up with Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan to protest the Iraq war. Duke's Klan principles document a hatred of Jews and blacks.

Now Duke has to separate from the anti-war blacks, somehow, that are Islamic in nature. But these same blacks are anti-jewish by definition. Seems to me that Duke is doing a real fast dance trying to get publicity and still spouting the anti-black, anti-jewish mantra.

Moreover, the Black Caucus somehow has to align itself with anti-war efforts to keep an alignment with the anti-Jew and pro-Islamic part of their platform. Which, in large part, supports David Duke's platform.

There are some dancing SOB's out there between the ANSWER folks(anti-war,pro-Islamic), the Congressional Black Causcus (anti-war, anti-jew, pro-Islamic), David Duke (anti-war, anti-black, anti-jew, supposedly anti-communist), and the MAS (anti-jew, pro-Islamic, anti-war). The only thread through all of this is - anti-jew, and anti-war.

Somehow, thinking about Duke makes me seem not so surprised at our tolerance of hate speech. We tolerate supposedly "mainstream" groups as the Congressional Black Caucus congratulating anti-American speech, the Los Angeles idiots congratulating Jihadist anti-American speech, and even the AARP calling Harry Belafonte their "Man of the Year" (completely losing me as a subscriber).

We do not forcefully speak back to them often enough.
Political correctness is an antidote to an illness that doesn't exist.
Perhaps the midyear elections will allow us, as conservatives, to send another message.
I hope so.

They stand together because they both stand for the same "values", bigotry and hatred. Many minorities still view Christianity (that being the"American" standard religion) as "the white man's " religion. Of course Islam presents itself as a religion which offers acceptance to varied ethnic peoples, of course this is a deception because at the heart of Islam is the enslavement of people especially women. But the hatred within some ethnic groups blinds them to this fact. Plus it's cool to be part of the "anti-establishment" (which includes now embracing what is seen as a threat to white "establishments of America and Europe).

Posted by: bondservant at September 9, 2006 1:34 PM

Thankfully, the nut job McKinney will soon be shown the exit doors of Congress (don't let them slam on your fat ass on the way out Cindy). As for Conyers, I nominate him to be a victim in the next terrorist attack in America. Serves the fool right for sleeping with the devil. Did I mention I disdain these two people?

Posted by: William The Crusader at September 9, 2006 2:08 PM

Let me give credit where credit is due. Most blacks get Christianity, and follow it in a manner that I admire.

On the other hand, like in most non-Arab countries, I doubt those blacks who convert to Islam understand what they are converting to. I would say many convert because of those colorful hats. HA HA

Posted by: ofcourse at September 9, 2006 2:16 PM

More than a year ago a piece about Mahdi Bray was posted at JW. Perhaps those still thinking of "honoring" him -- including those who have higher, or even the highest office, in mind.

In particular, one assumes that Barack Obama will realize that if he endorses this "honoring" of Mahdi Bray by refusing to openly distance himself from it, by working to prevent it, by denouncing it, that many people, still open to his ambitions, but also keenly aware, as all should be, of Mahdi Bray's statements and activities -- they have only to google "Mahdi Bray" to find that JW piece, will not be pleased, not now, and nothing he might subsequently say would make them overlook or forget such a colossal moral and political error.

Just to remind everyone of that article, here it is:

"Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald profiles Mahdi Bray, a slick American Muslim who attended a talk I gave in Boston a few months ago. There he played his "country Muslim" act, sweet-talked me and the crowd, and invited me to a friendly get-together and dialogue with the local Muslim community. I have, of course, never heard from him since: it was all for the benefit of the people in the audience -- an attempt to win them over and blunt the force of the evidence I was presenting. But the information Hugh has here will help you be prepared with the facts about his career anytime you may encounter Mahdi in the future:

A convert to Islam, Mahdi Bray is not one of those, like Ibrahim Hooper, who has attained national prominence. He is a tireless worker at the local level, however, and in his dual presentation of self, or presentation of dual selves, most instructive. Soft-spoken and smiling and all sweet reason, and with a comfortably American voice, when addressing Infidels, he becomes something quite different for Muslim audiences, where he has been known to chant-and-rant, as in his call of support for Hamas before a crowd in Washington, or whipping up a crowd to show up at a courtroom to mock the proceedings which involved charging a Muslim with plotting to kill the American President. He is also careful, at the local level, to carry out all those carefully-calibrated and well-publicized deeds of supposed charity – to earn Infidel goodwill – that are described as being so useful in the conduct of Da’wa at Muslim sites.
In his last appearance in The Boston Globe, some months ago, he is seen in a photograph (he made sure there would be a Globe photographer handy) helping to lift a box of donated food for the poor, which we are naturally supposed to believe is disinterested Muslim charity, but zakat, of course, can only be given to Infidels for the sake of promoting Islam. Just as Muslim websites carefully offer detailed instructions as to how Muslim parents can get their way, when making special requests (for prayer-rooms and the like) of teachers and school administrators, there are detailed instructions as to how to obtain favorable publicity – and the ostentatious “donation to charity” has been mentioned as the kind of thing local groups can engage in.

Bray, retaining his soft-spoken Virginia ways, seldom fails to remind non-Muslims that he is “just a country Muslim from Norfolk, Virginia”; this Americanizes it, makes it wholesome, familiar, unthreatening. As the director of something called the “Freedom Foundation” at the Muslim American Society. Bray has frequently denounced acts of the American government that are meant to defend American citizens from Muslim terrorism.

The list of those he has chosen to vocally defend is instructive. At least since July, 2004, he demanded the return of Ahmad Abu-Ali from Saudi Arabia:
“MAS Freedom Foundation's Executive Director, Mahdi Bray, called the continued detention of Ahmed Abu-Ali, an American born citizen and an honor student, in a Saudi Arabian jail a "national disgrace and tragedy."
But when Abu-Ali was finally extradited to the United States, presumably fulfilling that demand that he be released from a Saudi jail, Mahdi Bray was still not happy:

“We're deeply grateful to the Almighty for the return of Abu-Ali to the United States of America," said Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation Executive Director Mahdi Bray. "However, I am still greatly troubled and concerned about the manner in which our government has dealt with Abu Ali and his family.
"Nothing short of his release and return to his family is acceptable to us.”

When Abu-Ali, who was eventually charged with plotting to kill President Bush, appeared for his hearing at a courthouse in Virginia, those whom Mahdi Bray had helped urge to come to protest did. Violating court decorum, they entered the court and laughed at the judge as he announced the charges.

Even before he went to bat for Abu-Ali, Mahdi Bray had stood up for Abdurrahman Alamoudi, the man connected to the Boston Mosque which benefited from a sweetheart land deal, arranged by a dangerously ill-informed Mayor Menino. Abdurrahman Alamoudi’s sinister views and connections can easily be found discussed in detail on the Internet, but it was not his hatred for Infidels, or his plans for Islamic dominance, that got him in trouble. In the end, it was his part in a plot to assassinate Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia that ended in Alamoudi’s receiving a 23-year sentence.

And now, to complete the trilogy, Mahdi Bray bemoans the treatment of Al-Timimi, the Muslim leader in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., who was just found guilty of urging followers to fight the Americans in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

But standing up for Abu Ali, and Al-Timimi, and Abdurrahman Alamoudi, are just part of Bray’s activities.

In October 2000 he appeared at a demonstration called in support of Hamas and Hizbullah:

“In American Jihad, [Steve] Emerson notes that when Abdurrahman Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council, who is now serving a 23-year prison sentence for a terrorism financing conviction, encouraged the Muslim crowd at an October 2000 rally cosponsored by MPAC to declare their support of the jihad terror groups Hamas and Hizballah, “MPAC’s Political Advisor, Mahdi Bray, stood directly behind Alamoudi and was seen jubilantly exclaiming his support for these two deadly terrorist organizations.” This was just three weeks after Bray “coordinated and led a rally where approximately 2,000 people congregated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C.” Emerson reports that “at one point during the rally, Mahdi Bray played the tambourine as one of the speakers sang, while the crowd repeated: ‘Al-Aqsa [Mosque] is calling us, let’s all go into jihad, and throw stones at the face of the Jews [sic].’
Mahdi Bray was at another demonstration in December of that same year:

On December 22, 2000, MPAC's Mahdi Bray organized a rally in Lafayette Park outside the White House to celebrate a "Worldwide Day for Jerusalem." In Arabic, the crowd responsively chanted with the emcee, "Khaybar, Khaybar oh Jews, the Army of Muhammad is coming for you!" Posters calling for "Death to Israel" and equating the Star of David with the Nazi swastika were openly displayed and anti-Semitic literature calling for the destruction of the Jews and Israel was distributed. Members of the crowd burned the Israeli flag while marching from the White House to the State Department.
Bray spoke at this rally, along with Imam Mohammed al-Asi, former director of the Islamic Education Center in Potomac, Maryland, who exhorted the crowd to violence in the name of Islam. Al-Asi said, "Now, all our khatibs (speakers), our imams, our public speakers, should be concentrating on militarizing the Muslim public. This is not a time to make a speaking issue out of this ... Muslims have to familiarize themselves with every means possible ... Rhetoric is not going to liberate Al Quds and Al Aqsa. Only carrying arms will do this task. And it's not going to be someone else who is going to carry arms for you and for me. It is you and me who are going to have to carry these arms."

And here is some testimony before Congress about Mahdi Bray:

United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Terrorist Recruitment and Infiltration in the United States: Prisons and Military as an Operational Base.

Statement of J. Michael Waller
Annenberg Professor of International Communication
Institute of World Politics

Appendix 2: Key Organizations Involved in Muslim Prison Recruitment

National Islamic Prison Foundation (NIPF) – Contact: Mahdi Bray; 1212 New York Ave. NW, Suite 525, Washington, DC 20005. This is the same address as the American Muslim Council (AMC).

• “Specifically organized to convert American inmates to Wahhabism.”

And at www.masboston.org, the website of the Boston chapter of the “Muslim American Society” there are quite a number of items of interest. The first is the listing of the “Trainers” of Muslim activists (“training” in how to talk to Infidels at Outreach Meetings or in the conduct of Da’wa or in dealing with inquisitive media). In fact only one “trainer” is listed: Mahdi Bray

Imam Mahdi Bray is a long time civil and human rights activist. He is currently the Executive Director of the Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation, and the President of the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO). He also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice and the Interfaith Alliance, and also on the Advisory Board of the American Muslim Council and Muslim Public Affairs Council. He is a Washington, DC, Television and Radio Talk-Show Host.

He has served as a major consultant and a political advisor to Bonner & Associates, Washington’s largest grassroots lobbying firm, the National Center for Housing Management, Alexandria City Redevelopment & Housing Authority, Community Relations Department, The City of Norfolk, Virginia, Department of Community Improvement, and the Independent Voter League. He has also served as a Political Advisor and Strategist, to several national, state, and local political campaigns. He is also the author of, ‘The Masjid (Mosque) Voter’s Guide’ and ‘The Political Guide for Masjid (Mosque) Activists.’
Also, Imam Mahdi Bray is one of the main organizers for the No War on Iraq movement.

He has also served as a liaison between President’s White House Faith-Based Initiative Program and congressional affairs on behalf of the Muslim community.

On another page, there is an advertisement for a Muslim summer camp where students will experience “Tarbeya”:

“At MAS, the Tarbeya process is considered the most important process and the Tarbeya department is one of the permanent departments in the organization. This belief traces its origin to the teachings of Prophet Mohamed as he -- peace be upon him- --invested a lot of effort doing Tarbeya for his companions. As a result of his effort, he did not only leave a great message, the message of Islam, but also left a great generation that carried the message and spread it all over the land and moved humanity from darkness to light. Islamic history proved that whenever this process was considered, Muslims were able to succeed and Islam prevailed. Imam Hassan Al-Banna, the founder and the leader of a great Islamic movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, said ‘Whenever you find the good Muslim you find with him all means for great success.’”

Note the praise of Hassan al-Banna, described as “the founder and the leader of a great Islamic movement, the Muslim Brotherhood.” Anyone who does not know what the Muslim Brotherhood stands for can simply google that organization. Hassan Al-Banna (his grandson, Tariq Ramadan, pretending that his own unwillingness to disown Al-Banna is merely a matter of noble filial piety, a filiopietism that compels him not to publicly disown “my grandfather” when in fact the real reason he does not distance himself from his grandfather is that he agrees with the program of the Muslim Brotherhood). Hassan al-Banna not only organized secret cells in Egypt, but would also give public addresses, whipping up his followers. And what better way for those followers to express their ignited enthusiasm, than to go out and attack non-Muslims (Copts and Jews), to beat them, even to kill them, and of course to destroy their small businesses. After one such speech in Cairo, on November 2, 1945, the whipped-up mobs did exactly that.

The next time a smiling plausible fellow shows up at a public gathering, no longer shaking a tambourine, and shouting hosannas to Hamas and Hezbullah, but offering a tone of sweet reasonableness, of more-in-sorrow wistfulness about the mean-minded misunderstanding of Islam, and the terrible victimization of Muslims, see if he manages to describe himself as “just a country Muslim from Norfolk, Virginia” with a smile and an ah-shucks shrug meant to suggest two things – he’s just as American as he can possibly be, and therefore, so to is this wonderful doctrine of Islam that we keep hearing all those untrue and unfair things about. If you hear about Norfolk, Virginia, and the “li’l ole Muslim” routine, you can be sure you are in the presence of Mahdi Bray.

And if he offers an Infidel audience a practiced display of Taqiyya and Tu-Quoque, and a look of wounded innocence, it might help to have this article handy, so that they will know about Alamoudi, Abu-Ali, Al-Timimi, and that tambourine shout-out in Lafayette Park for such terrorist groups as Hamas and Hezbollah. It won’t put a stop to the act, but it will no longer be a hard act to follow.

And remember how another li’l ole country boy, this one from Concord, Massachusetts, named Ralph Waldo Emerson, who famously cautioned wariness:

“The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.”
The more we hear tell about the “tolerance” and “peace” and all-round goodness of Islam, the more we feel the urge to count aloud, not the number of spoons, but the number of victims of Jihad-conquest (Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists, and the more we feel impelled to count up all the onerous disabilities that those non-Muslims who were not killed or forcibly converted at once but permitted to survive as dhimmis under Muslim rule, suffered through time and space, over 1350 years, from the Iberian Peninsula to the East Indies, wherever Islam ruled and Muslims dominated."

[Posted May 5, 2005]

You can also find the article, should you wish to email it, by googling "Mahdi Bray" and then, clicking on the "email this article" sign at the bottom. Just the thing to email to all the members of not only the Black Caucus, but to all the members of the Democratic National Committee, and even those running for state office whose views on this matter would naturally be special significance to the voters -- one thinks, for example, of Deval Patrick, running for Governor of Massachusetts, and still seeking the nomination as the Democratic candidate. One's view of those who, like Mahdi Bray, scream and denounce Israel, and praise Hamas, or Hezbollah, and work, in their own way, to promote the Jihad -- not merely the Lesser Jihad against Israel but the Greater Jihad against all Infidels, need to be known now.

And of course one wonders how the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, or at least those who managed to force through this curiously-arranged "honoring" of Mahdi Bray (who pushed it? who was behind it? what was the point? what favors were given, or received, and by whom?). course to those on the Democratic National Committee, can square the honoring of an apologist for Islam, a vehicle of Arab supremacism, with their outrage at the mistreatment, and mass murder, of black Africans -- Christians and animists in southern Sudan, non-Arab (and therefore inferior) black Africam Muslims in Darfur -- both by Arab Muslims, with both cases of mass murder attracting not the slightest expression of regret, and many examples of support, from the Arab League, which right now has been trying to make sure that no effective military force actually enters Darfur to prevent further killing of black Africans by those who think of themselves as Arab Muslims and who act, murderously, accordingly.

A lot of well deserved criticism of the Black Caucus and the so called left. But not all left is the same, anymore than all right is the same..

As I said before I'm a Goldwater Conservative, and always will be, but that puts me to the left of todays current crop of proto fascists that have taken over the Republican party, and who post their self righteous religious bilge (in the best mimcry of the Islamo). .. not much difference at all between theocrats and the religious right. There maybe a religious left in Christianity, but there is no religious left in Islam..all Islam is Right Wing, and Islam is very conservative..hmmm, lots in common with many a Jihad watcher.

Abdurrahman Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council, who is now serving a 23-year prison sentence for a terrorism financing conviction, encouraged the Muslim crowd at an October 2000 rally cosponsored by MPAC to declare their support of the jihad terror groups Hamas and Hizballah,

Just to remind the Bush/Rovian enamored apologetically minded.. This man co founded the Islamic Institute (which is the Republican arm of the American Muslim Society) with GROVER NORQUIST, who just happens to be Karl Roves very best friend and a man who has instant acccess to George W. Bush. Read Infiltration: How Muslims Spies and Subversives Have Infiltrated Washington

My Point is that this is not a left v right problem, it is a systemic problem that crosses ideological grounds, but you will never make headway or have a chance of success so long as you dig in your self righteous heels, and sound and act like the very people whom you are fighting.. the muslims..and yes you on the hard or extreme right do sound and act like the muslims.

That type of behavior will only serve to alienate those on the "left" that would be swayed to join the fight to save the west.

Fact is that much of the left (ignorant of Islam) sympathizes with the muslims, because they perceive them to be a victim of extreme right wing proto fascist Christian intolerance.

Bashing gays to get out votes for Bush is all the proof that is needed. The demand that this country is a Christian nation (hence a theocracy) is more proof, demonization and marginalization of the poor and lower middle class is yet more proof.

If the right doesn't wake up, get down off it's self righeous holy high horse.. then we will lose the war to Islam

Hypocrisy and Heroin.
Both start with 'H'.
Both are highly addictive.
It's next to impossible to convince someone that they have a problem with either one.
Even harder to get them to quit.

oh yeah, Cynthia Mckinney:

You do remember Cynthia, don't you? She is the one who said that Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened. When a Saudi prince's offer of $10 million for the victims of 9/11 was turned down because of the Saudi's anti-American remarks, it was Cynthia who said "Hey, give the money to me!" It was Cynthia McKinney who, during her previous stint in Congress, spent far more time representing the interests of various African despots before the federal government than she did her own constituents.

Cynthia's last campaign received most of its funding from Arab and Islamic interests. Last night one of the first messages of congratulations came from Abed Hammoud of the Arab-American Political Action Committee. The Islamic Jihadists are about to celebrate the return of their friend.

In the New York Post Erick Stakelbeck wrote "McKinney has long associated with militant Islamic groups whose members have openly supported terrorism." Daniel Pipes, the director of the Middle East Forum, took a brief look at McKinney's campaign finance disclosures .. here's a partial list of Cynthia's campaign contributors:

Hani Y. Awadallah – president, Arab American Civic Organization, New Jersey.

Jesse Aweida – co-founder, American Task Force on Palestine.

Belal Dalati – a vice president of Arab-American Broadcasting Co. (Orange County Register, February 19, 2002) associated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Hasan Elkhatib –member, board of directors, American Islamic Educational Foundation (MetroWest Jewish News, October 10, 1996)

Yaser Elmenshawy - chairman, Islamic Council of New Jersey.

Rafeeq Jaber – president, Islamic Association for Palestine, a Hamas offshoot.

Oussama Jammal – president, Bridgeview Mosque.

Samer Khalaf – chairman, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee's Political Outreach Committee in New Jersey.

Faroque Khan – president, Islamic Center of Long Island, also connected to the American Muslim Alliance and Islamic Society of North America.

Mahmoud A Nimer - member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa (an Islamic school established by Sami al-Arian; al-Arian's indictment indicates the school was used as a base of support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad).

Ayman Osman - member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa; employer of Hatem Fariz, arrested on terrorism charges and charged with being a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Talat Othman - former chairman of the Islamic Free Market Institute; secretary/treasurer of the American Task Force on Palestine.

Khalid Qazi – former president, American Muslim Council of western New York State.

Hareth Raddawi - member, board of directors, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, Chicago.

Allam Reheem - former member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa.

Talal Sunbulli – former chairman, Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.

James Zogby – president, Arab American Institute.

Cynthia McKinney is a functionally incompetent far-left nutcase

IN THE TRUE NAME OF THE HOLY FATHER, IN THE TRUE NAME OF THE HOLY SON, BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE BEAST IS REVEALED

Revelation 13:16-18
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

An Antichrist is one that pose as the Almighty while denying the fact that Yahushua (aka Jesus Christ) Is GOD and Savior.

Let's think of characters that could fit perfectly in the phrame of Antichrist. The one I have in mind is allah.

Some will, and have pointed out that allah is the arabic word for One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed, just as the english word for it is GOD (even though ILLAHI is the accurate arabic word for GOD and allah is what the god of the quran/islam is called), I must point out that the significance is not put on the name allah, but the character who is worshiped as the author of the quran. And from now on, when I write allah, you will know that I am talking about the god of islam. I would also like to mention that (in the old testament) Ba'al was one of the Canaanite gods, the supreme male divinity of the Phoenician and Canaanitish nations. The word "Ba'al" means "lord", and it was used to describe a number of Canaanite gods. Through Mussa (aka Moses) JAH gave strong consequences (death) for those who worshipped Baal (Numbers 25:3-5).

- In the quran, allah denies the fact that The Holy Trinity exist and he also denies that Yahushua is Lord and Savior.

Quran sura 4: And for their unbelief, and their uttering against Mary a grave false charge, and for their saying, 'We killed the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messiah of God"' yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him,

Quran Sura 5:72-73, 5:75 'They do blaspheme who say: 'God is Christ the son of Mary.' They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a trinity: for there is no God except one God Allah. If they do not desist from their word of blasphemy, verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them. Christ the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him.'

Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Quran Sura 18:4-5 And warn those who say: Allah has taken a son. They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers; a grievous word it is that comes out of their mouths; they speak nothing but a lie.

Mark 1:10-11 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Quran Sura 5:17: 'In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say:' Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between.

Matthew 28:18 "And YAHUSHUA came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

John 14:6 " YAHUSHUA said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."

Those who say allah and The Holy Trinity is the same need to stand corrected. They can not be the same when one denies the other. allah claims that one will pretty much go to hell for worshiping the Holy Trinity/Yahushua (to worship any god other than allah alone is the only unforgivable sin in islam, it’s called shirk.) while Yahushua Says He is The Only Way To Eternal Life.

There are thousands of fake gods in this world, But allah is the only one that has almost 2 billion followers, and deny The Holy trinity while he claim to be The GOD of Israel.

Many of YAHUSHUA’s “followers”, Both "rasta" and "christian" seem to have some kind of acceptance for allah and fail to see who he is since he credit YAHUSHUA the title "prophet". They fail to see that calling the CREATOR a Creation, is as absurd as something can get. An Antichrist is one who is posing as the Almighty while denying That YAHUSHUA Is GOD and savior. allah (The Beast) and his quran is obviously as Anti-Christ as something can get. And muhammad was his false prophet. This is clear without him (allah) even fitting into the description of THE beast in the book of revelation. But guess what...He does!!!

Revelation 13: 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Score means twenty, and twenty multiplied by three is sixty. So the verse tells us that The number we need to calculate is 666. Numerologists often reduce a number or word by a process known as digit summing. In the case of a number, you take the sum of all of the digits of the number, and if the result is a number with 2 or more digits you add up the digits of that number; you repeat the process recursively until you arrive at a single-digit number.

6+6+6 = 18
1+8 = 9

Today, when people use numerology to calculate the number of the beast, They use the value of the letters in "his name". In some languages, all letters have numerical values, and in those languages that dont, People use the position of the letter in the alphabet to determine its "numerical value". But those calculations will always carry flaws since the number of the name will vary depending on what language you use to calculate it.

But there is ONE language that is just as Ancient as it is Global. And that is the language of Numbers/Maths. For example, in all languges a 7 is a 7. Even if its not written the same way, it still represent the sum of seven. And as we know, the Beast will be global. What we should calculate is not the Number of each letter in his name, but simply as the bible verse says;

"17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

Let's calculate The Number of allah’s name. Allah has 99 names, The number of his name (literally) is 99.

And the number of his name is ninetynine in all languages, it doesnt matter where you go, it doesnt change.

And when u calculate 99 (9+9) you get the number 18 which is 6 times three (6+6+6)

The number 18, the outcome of 99 provides you with the same number as 666 does that number is 9 (1+8 = 9)

Some will act as if i ordered a crusade on muslims, But i have not done such thing. I didnt even mention the word Muslim until NOW. I have not even said that You shouldnt be allowed to worship allah if you wish. JAH has given us free will and we are free to do what we please with it. I dont think islam should be banned and muslims killed or ANYTHING like that. They have the right to exercise their free will and chosen faith.

JAH has Simply used me and told me to point out to those who claim to be His children who allah is. Then they are allowed to do what they please with it.

The last 3½ years of The Great Tribulation has now Started.

Those who can hear will hear, those who cant hear will see, those who cant see will feel. What they will feel is Pain and Agony.
