--Omar M. Ahmad, chairman of the board of the Council on American-Islamic relations-
Over my dead a$$. I'd like to meet this jerk.
"Then I raised by eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
So I said, 'Where are you going?' And he said to me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length'.
And there was an angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, who said to him, 'Run, speak to this young man, saying,: 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.'
'For I,' says the Lord, 'will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst'.
'Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,' says the Lord; 'for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,' says the Lord.
'Up, Zion! Escape, you who with the daughter of Babylon.'
For thus says the Lord of Hosts: 'He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.'
'For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.'
'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,' says the Lord.
'Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.'
'And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.'
'Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!'"
Continued attacks by Islamists against non-Muslims will soon lead to the greatest bloodbath ever recorded in history......and the Islamists will do most of the dying.
In America - with 10s of millions of armed men - there will be no hiding place from an enraged population..... Muslims in American have NOT convinced many, that they are Americans first and not followers of the radical murderous bastards that head their religion and rule their Nations.
They should be very afraid.
