the sensitivity doesn't go both ways
Bill Randles blog ^ | 5/23/10 | Bill Randles

The wicked flee when no one pursues them, but the Righteous are bold as a lion"Prov 28:1

Islam is an extremely sensitive religion. The Ummah cannot stand anything that even remotely smacks of criticism. It flies into a rage when cartoons are printed mocking their "prophet". People have been killed because of false rumors spread about prison Gaurds handling Korans insesitively.The West is lectured constantly about the need to be sensitive, in spite of the fact that Western societies have bent over backwards to show 'tolerance' and sensitivity to our psychologically fragile Muslim guests.

Why the extreme touchiness? I have a couple of possible theories;

1) Because of a cognitive dissonance. Muslims know deep in their hearts they have a religion that they really ought to be ashamed of. Muhammed was certainly someonbe NOT to emulate, and even though the religion does desenaitize the conscience, Muslims are still human beings, with a God given sense of Right and wrong.

2) Because it works. The more Islam demands, the more our craven leaders defer. It would shock us had we been given a snapshot of how much ground Islam has gained in the west since 9-11. Ramadan in the White house, foot baths in airports, special meal breaks for meat packing Somali's in the midwest...the list goes on and on of the accomodations readily accepted by muslims, who perhaps can't believe their good fortune at coming into the west in a time of multicultural confusion and western self loathing.

3) I think it is also a strategy to constantly keep the civilised world on the defensive, demanding that we assuage their "outrage". Muslim sensitivity is useful, it detracts from the real issues. Muslims, after the Fort Hood massacre, didn't have to re-examine the tenets of their murderous religion, they immediately went on the offensive, warning us not to be "IslamoPhobic" and feigning fear of the so called "Back Lash" which has never, ever materialised.

But the sensitivity will not go the other way. The latest evidence for that is the proposed thirteen story mosque, which will be erected near ground zero, and scheduled to be dedicated on 9-11 .(Co-incidence?) .To the famiies and the nation that was attacked on 9-11 by Islamic terrorists, no sensitivity whatever is shown.

Remember that the mindset of Islamic terrorism is symbolic. Mosques are usually constructed over former churches or other religious sites. Dates too are very important, always chosen with symbolic care. Shame and humiliation are also hugely important in the psychology of Islam. The battle cry "Alla Akbar" does not mean as many suppose ,"Allah is great", but "Allah is greater". Islam is a religion of comparison. It is really important to these tiny people,that a Minnaret be raised on the highest elevation of an infidel city, as a sign of conquest.

The only consolation I offer is that the real God knows and sees, a careful reading of the prophets of the Bible will show that Islam is only being fattened up for the coming judgment on her. Here are a series of articles I wrote to verify this: Psalm 83 pt 1

Psalm 83 pt 2

Psalm 83 pt 3

Time to seek the Lord while he be found and call upon him while he is near! Grace and Peace!

Stage 1: Start immigrating - move into a country quietly

Stage 2: Begin starting churches: “learning centers” community helps: food etc.

Stage 3: Political activism: demanding rights, denounce derogatory comments/press etc.

Stage 4: Get elected, pass laws favoring rights etc. move toward political majority

Stage 5: Political control, Sharia Law

Mosques are usually constructed over former churches or other religious sites.

Soloman's temple in Jerusalem, the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople and now the site of the world trade center symbol of American economic power. This is no coincidence and shame on Bloomberg and the city council for allowing this. Look at all the problems constructing a new WTC, and this temple to the moon god just gets approved without a hitch? What's wrong with the lib-tards we have running this country?!!

Oh, sorry some times I understand what I write better than the people who read what I write. .-)
The list is what I meant to say. His friend gave him the list. The way my brother talks about his friend, it very well have been Divine.
I will. He and his wife are mighty people of God.
