And now they endorse Osama bin Laden and they want to control Jerusalem after driving the Jews into the sea.
Shortly after the bombing at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, thousands of radical Islamic Palestinians gathered in Gaza to celebrate the death and destruction of a suicide bomber at the University.
The spiritual leader of Hamas not only called for more attacks, but also stated that the only way to end the violence was for all Jews to leave Israel.
The conflict between Arabs and Jews goes back to the birth of Isaac, the son of covenant, and Ishmael, who God said would be "A wild man whose hand shall be against every man and every man's hand against him." (Genesis 16:12)
The descendants of Isaac and Ishmael wage war over the land God promised to Abraham. "There is no solution" wrote Israeli hero David Ben-Gurion. We want the country to be ours. They want the country to be theirs."
The conflict between Arabs and Jews goes deeper than the dispute over the land of Israel. The conflict is theological. It is Judaism vs. Islam. Islamic theology insists that Islam triumphs over everything else. That's why when you visit an Arabic city, the Islamic prayer tower is the highest point in the city.
The Arabs believe that Jesus, Moses, David and several other Hebrews were prophets – however, Mohammad was the greatest prophet. Though Muslims revere the Bible, they hold the Koran as the absolute true word of God revealed through the angel Gabriel to Mohammad. Muslims believe that Allah is God, that he has neither father nor mother, and that he has no sons.
The bold Arabic inscription that circumscribes the Dome of the Rock proclaims, "God has no son."
Don't be confused by liberal theologians that teach that Allah is just another name for the same God worshipped by Christians and Jews. Allah is the moon god, married to the sun goddess, represented by the crescent moon that is visible on every mosque throughout the Muslim world.
Nor should you think that Arabs are as tolerant about religion as most Western people. Religion is the hub of an Arab's life. Every activity, thought, feeling or custom is regulated by the laws of Islam.
Muslims are so devout that they will not tolerate criticism of their religion. Remember Salman Rushdie? In 1989, his novel, "The Satanic Verses," based upon verses Mohammad supposedly received from the devil, resulted in his death sentence. The novelist was forced into hiding when the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran announced a $3 million reward to anyone who'd kill the writer.
Understand this: No matter what Islamic fundamentalists say about peace, their religion demands that they fight and kill Christians and Jews. Islam proclaims a theology of triumphalism. Simply translated, Muslims believe that it's the will of Allah for Islam to rule the world.
Islamic law stipulates that to fulfill Mohammad's vision for world domination, every "infidel domain" must be considered a territory of war. According to Moris Farhi, author of "The Last of Days," Muslims believe that there can be no peace with Jews or Christians or any other non-Islamic people, and that if peace must be made, only a truce is permissible and that "for a maximum of 10 years as an expedient to hone our swords, whet our blood, and strengthen our will." Mohammad made physical violence an invincible, yet integral, part of that faith.
Islamic theology boils down to one condition: The fundamentalist Islamics must destroy the Jews and rule Israel, or Mohammad is a false prophet and the Koran is not true. Such a thought is absolutely inconceivable!
For that reason, the fundamentalist Islamic, who represents the majority of Arabs, must attack Israel and the Jews to be loyal to their faith. The strategy of the current terrorist wave in Israel is as simple as it is satanic: Kill so many Jews that they will eventually abandon Jerusalem and the desire for a Jewish state.
The recent bombing of the Hebrew University with thousands of Islamic Palestinians dancing in the streets of Gaza was a portrait of their faith.
The war against terrorism which is spawned by radical Islamic fundamentalism in Israel must be totally defeated. Israel's war against terrorism is America's war against terrorism. Why? Because if the terrorists destroy the Jewish state they will feel empowered by Allah to destroy America through terrorism. Let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem because the peace of America also hangs in the balance.
First, if Muslims revered the Bible, it begs the question why? According to their Muslim beliefs the entire New Testatment must be discarded since Muslims deny the Godhood of Jesus Christ, and the existence of the Holy Trinity. Considering the New Testatment is based upon foundations from the Old Testament and God's promise of His son, and that the Jews are His chosen people, they must deny the Old testatment as well. Why would they revere what their religion holds to be a lie?
That leaves them with a god, obviously not the same God that is the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
So they KILL them. Islam - the peaceful religion. < /SARCASM >
Calling Isalm peaceful is like calling me a great typist!
Once again, you drew a conclusion based on information you didn't have. The word "IF" was merely window-dressing. You were setting up a strawman.
That question could include, changing the Constitution to reflect his assertion, changing U.S. declared defense policy, energy policy, and of course, as always, MONETARY policy. Where does Hagee draw the line?
Hagee didn't mention any of that. You did. Answer your own question and leave him out of it.
I have already answered my own questions with the conclusion that Hagee is a hypocritical idiot and a huckster.
But upon re-reading his rant, the only pro-active action he prescribed was "to pray for the peace of Jerusalem". Whatever that entails?
I'm so moved, where should I send the check?
So why is Joe Lieberman calling for more Palestinian immigration to America? Why does Sandra Feldman want Sami Al-Arian back in his South Florida classroom? Why did every Democrat Senator with religious ties to Israel block America from drilling in ANWR and sending less money to the Saudis? Why is Ruben working, for over a million a month, for Citigroup whose largest shareholder is a Saudi prince? Why is it when I turn on TV it is always a Democrat lawyer blasting Bush or Ashcroft for being mean to those poor terrorists we are holding in custody?
That's because it is a lie. More people have been killed by state-sponsered atheism in the last 100 years than all the Christian wars combined.
There are lies, damned lies, and of course, statistics. Try reading some of the history of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. You might find that many deaths resulted from human prejudice and greed, much of it state-sponsored, and almost always incorporating the ever useful component of "religion".
Has state-sponsored atheism killed more people? Perhaps. Has religious extremism killed a higher percentage of the population at any given time in history? Most probably. In the absence of powerful atheistic states, will future deaths reflect the economic, cultural, and religious divisions? Most certainly.
Including the current dilemma? Absolutely, according to Mr. Hagee.
You've embarrassed yourself.
None of the groups you mention was Arab. There is no battle mentioned in the Bible between the Israelites and the Arabs.
Who said I praid to any god? By the way , you still didn't answer my question. Why is Christianity false if by definition it is a religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ?
The descendants of Isaac and Ishmael wage war over the land God promised to Abraham. "There is no solution" wrote Israeli hero David Ben-Gurion. We want the country to be ours. They want the country to be theirs."
That about says it all.
That entails, praying for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, because then and only then will there be peace in Jerusalem..
