  • Ted Cruz vs. Marco Rubio: Did Cruz Support Legalization of illegals?

    You’re falling for Rubio’s liberal/RINO propaganda. From Breitbart:

    On Sean Hannity’s radio show on Thursday, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) dismissed the suggestion that his GOP colleague Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, was a proponent of the so-called “Gang of Eight” bill during the legislative process in 2013.

    Lee, who was on the Senate Judiciary Committee with Cruz at the time the legislation was being debated in that committee, argued Cruz’s efforts to introduce amendments was in no way a gesture that he supported the bill.

    He went on to add that that accusation, which would have meant that he and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), one of Cruz’s opponents for the GOP nod, had similar positions on immigration reform at that time were “absolutely false.”

    “Well, look — as you know, as you just pointed out, I’m friends with both these guys,” Lee said. “I have enormous respect for both of them. I will tell you this: I serve on the Judiciary Committee with Ted Cruz. I was there with Ted Cruz the entire time as we spent weeks on the ‘Gang of Eight’ immigration bill. I was there as we both drafted and presented amendments trying to make this really bad ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty bill not as bad.”

    “And at no time during that process — at no moment did I ever see Ted Cruz take any action that was tantamount to saying he was embracing amnesty,” Lee continued. “He filed amendments designed to make the bill less bad. But that didn’t mean and does not mean now and never will mean that he was going to vote for that bill. He was just trying to make it less bad. And insofar as anybody is trying to suggest that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio had the same position with regards amnesty or with regards to the ‘Gang of Eight’ bill — that is absolutely false. One-hundred percent false.”

    Lee went on to say he did not see a good reason to get involved in the contest and endorse a candidate, but he would “step up to their defense” when one of those candidates is unfairly accused.

    “no room for Divine Providence”? That’s absurd. You expect Christians to do nothing just to prove their “faith”?

    God provided for all when He sent His Son to pay for sin; that doesn’t mean that He suspends natural law or common sense. Evil still exists, and God’s people suffer.

    When the Muslim hordes come to violate your wife and daughters in accord with Muhammad’s command and example, will your only response be, “Divine Providence”?

    This is what Muslims defend. This is what must be stopped, reversed, and expelled from all free lands:

    “the Messenger of Allah . . . would say: ‘Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war. . . . When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. . . . Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. . . . If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them . . .’” (Muslim Book 19, Number 4294).

    “fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) . . . “ (Qur’an 9:5).

    “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

    “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter . . . “ (Qur’an 5:33).

    [Ibn Kathir says of this verse: “’Wage war’ mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various types of evil.” So, Muhammad requires execution, crucifixion, or cutting off hands and feet from opposite sides for “disbelief.”]

    “Allah’s Apostle said: ‘I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle . . . ‘” (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24).

    “It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise” (Qur’an 8:67).

    “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror’” (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).

    “Allah’s Apostle was asked, ‘What is the best deed?’ He replied, ‘To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad).’ The questioner then asked, ‘What is the next (in goodness)?’ He replied, ‘To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah’s Cause.’ The questioner again asked, ‘What is the next (in goodness)?’ He replied, ‘To perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). . .’” (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25).

    “Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them). And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone (in the whole of the world). But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do” (Qur’an 8:38; ayah 39 from Noble Qur’an).

    And here is what Hitler had to say about Christianity and Islam:

    Albert Speer, who was Hitler’s Minister of Armaments and War Production, wrote a contrite memoir of his World War II experiences while serving a 20-year prison sentence imposed by the Nuremberg tribunal. Speer’s narrative includes this discussion, which captures Hitler’s racist views of Arabs on the one hand, and his effusive praise for Islam on the other:

    Hitler had been much impressed by a scrap of history he had learned from a delegation of distinguished Arabs. When the Mohammedans attempted to penetrate beyond France into Central Europe during the eighth century, his visitors had told him, they had been driven back at the Battle of Tours. Had the Arabs won this battle, the world would be Mohammedan today. For theirs was a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament.

    Hitler said that the conquering Arabs, because of their racial inferiority, would in the long run have been unable to contend with the harsher climate and conditions of the country. They could not have kept down the more vigorous natives, so that ultimately not Arabs but Islamized Germans could have stood at the head of this Mohammedan Empire.

    Hitler usually concluded this historical speculation by remarking, “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

  • Pope’s attack on Islam sparks anger- Pope’s References to Islam Provoke Muslim Outcry

    As repeatedly and clearly stated throughout Islam's "sacred" texts, Allah and his false prophet Mohammed require the faithful to fight against, subdue and humiliate, and kill unbelievers to make the world Islam.

    The Pope angered Muslims not because he lied about their religion and "Ideal Man," but because he told the truth.

    If Western leaders like Benedict begin to expose the Great Lie, Infidels everywhere might actually wake up to the threat posed by Islam and actually do something to defend themselves.

    Undoubtedly, Muslim rage is mainly due to the fact that an Infidel publicly refused to pay the proper tribute to their murderous, pedophilic false prophet.
