I’m no fan of Muslims. I believe Muslims should be no more welcome in this country than Christians are welcome in Muslim countries. I am convinced that mixing these two religions will only lead to national disunity, stress and even dissolution.
Nevertheless, I have to admit that the mainstream media’s subtle but growing distrust and antagonism for Muslims is a little “too convenient”; a little “too effective”; a little too “hyperbolic” to convince me that anti-Muslim criticism is completely honest or “innocent”.
So, I sometimes wonder if my “natural” distrust for Muslims renders me subject to being “played” by others who also profess distrust for Muslims.
The following video offers some evidence to suggest that anti-Muslim sentiments are being artificially fanned or even initiated in order to produce support of Israel or US policy or global oil producers . . . or somebody.
I don’t know if the video is fundamentally true or if it’s just another propaganda piece of the sort that it claims to criticize. My point is that the real wars are currently being fought moreso in men’s minds than on conventional “battle fields”. The primary weapons are propaganda rather than bullets and bombs.
As a result, trying to identify the real “bad guy” is increasingly difficult. Or maybe all government actors are “bad guys,” and it’s increasingly difficult to accurately identify a “good guy”.
We live in a time where it’s not merely hard to discover the truth, it’s almost as hard to know your friends as it it to know your enemies.
But there is a silver lining to our confusion. Insofar as the various gov-co’s find it necessary to try to deceive us with their propaganda, they implicitly admit that they don’t have enough force to subject us to their will. They are dependent upon our willingness to believe their lies. Insofar as we learn to educate ourselves and recognize the various gov-cos’ lies, we diminish their power. Insofar as we educate ourselves and others to recognize the various gov-cos’ lies, we free ourselves, our neighbors and our nation.

Hi Al,
I believe Muslims should be no more welcome in this country than Christians are welcome in Muslim countries.”
Are you consistent? Do you believe Jews should be no more welcome in this country than Christians are welcome in Israel? It isn’t just Palestinians who have gradually been expatriated from Israel.
I suggest you read “Under the Sign of the Scorpion” by Juri Lina and then you may know who (one of) the enemies really is.
The Muslims are a contrived boogey man. It wasn’t them that attacked the USS Liberty or orchestrated the Lavon Affair or 911.

My “consistency” (if I have any) is this: A “nation” has been defined for centuries as a single race, having a single language, a single culture, and a single faith living within a defined geographic territory. Such a “nation” has probably never actually existed. I.e., no “nation” (especially in modern times) has achieved the levels of racial and cultural “purity” implied in the definition. Nevertheless, insofar as a single “nation” is divided among several religions, trouble is bound to follow. The Serbs (blessed with both Christians and Muslims) have been fighting for 8 centuries. India’s Muslims/Hindus get into serious conflict every generation or two. Even in our allegedly “Judeo-Christian” country, the relationships between Jews and Christians are frequently stressful–and that’s true even though Jews represent a tiny percentage of our total population. Inviting Muslims into a Christian country will ultimately serve to precipitate the same sort of religious friction that exists in Serbia and India. Why invite more trouble than we already have?
In essence, my position on Muslims is that they pose a threat that is both:
1) real; but,
2) exaggerated and exploited by others in order to deceive Americans into achieving some objective other than minimizing Muslim influence or immigration.

If 1) above is truth how can 2) also be truth?
I think the ‘American’ man has titled himself ‘American’ in order to treat all other Men as though they are animals.
If “all Men are endowed by Their creator…” how can an ‘American’ man think he is superior to “all Men…”?
Only the trespasser has, by his trespasses, offered himself to trespass (retaliation).
The ‘American’ is as evil as the ‘Muslim’. Both have titled themselves as a way to pretend a superior existence. Both thinking they are superior to the other they make war against the other. Their man made governments force thee People to join in the battles or face arrest. Thee People must kill or get killed for refusing to kill (Stalin to the Polish People).
It’s one thing to call a person Spanish because of the language they speak. It is another thing, a terrible thing, to call a man ‘American’-'Muslim’-'Jap’ in order to make war.

THE REAL ENEMY IS ISRAEL, THEY PULLED OFF 9/11. FOLLOW THE CLUES, EVER HEARD OF THE LAVON AFFAIR AND THE ATTACK ON THE USS LIBERTY BOTH OF WHICH WERE FOILED PLOTS TO ATTACK AMERICA AND BLAME IT ON MUSLIMS. 9/11 WAS THEIR ONLY SUCCESSFUL DECEPTION. RESEACH THE IDENTICAL PASSPORT THEFT AND IMPERSONATIONS METHODS USED BY ISRAEL’S MOSSAD IN ASSASSINATING THAT HAMAS COMMANDER IN DUBAI WITH THE PASSPORT THEFT OF THE ALLEGED SUICIDE HIGHJACKERS THAT WERE STILL ALIVE AFTER THE ATTACK.

I don’t know who is responsible for 9/11. I wasn’t there. I didn’t see. But I know this: Building 7 fell at the speed of gravity and it had not be hit with an airplane or significant debris. Some people believe that a couple of small fires in the middle floor might’ve cause the collapse, but that’s nonsense. There’s no known way for a steel structure 43 stories tall to fall within 7 seconds without being imploded by means of a massive series of internally-placed explosives that were precisely placed and timed to detonate in a precise sequence.
My point is that whoever caused Building 7 to fall down, it was not Osama bin Laden and his “merry men”. They were the patsies to took credit and blame for Building 7, but there was no way that they could’ve entered Building 7 repeatedly over a period of weeks or months to secretly install all of the explosives required to collapse Building 7.
If bin Laden and crew absolutely could not have caused the collapse of Building 7, someone else must’ve done so.
More, if someone other than bin Laden caused the collapse of Building 7, we are left to conclude that either the person’s responsible for Building 7 and the persons responsible for destroying the 2 WTC “towers” and attacking the Pentagon acted separately but “coincidentally”–or that the the same people who are responsible for Building 7 (which cannot include bin Laden) are also responsible for the the Twin Towers and the Pentagon attacks.
In other words, whoever was responsible for 9/11, it was not bin Laden and the Muslims. This is not to say that bin Laden and the Muslims might not have been associated with 9/11. They might even be dumb enough to think that they really did cause the whole attack. But if bin Laden and the Muslims, were involved, they were involved as patsies and “designated fall guys”. They might’ve participated, but they did not orchestrate or control the actual attack.
I don’t know who the real “leader(s)” behind the 9/11 attack were. I have my personal suspicions; It might’ve been the Jews, it might’ve been the Jesuits, it might’ve been the CIA, it might’ve been the fascists in the Bush administration. but I don’t know and I probably never will.
But I do know this: The Congress investigated the causes for 9/11 and, with regard to Building 7, simply declared that they have no idea why Building 7 fell. A 43-story building collapsed in 7 seconds and the Congress of the United States claims to have no idea why, and isn’t looking to find an explanation.
This failure to deduce the cause for the Building 7 collapse strikes me as odd. If a Piper Cub aircraft carrying two passengers falls out of the sky, the FAA is there to collect all the debris and analyze it to discover what bolt or other component cracked and caused the catastrophic failure. If a 747 carrying 400 passengers crashes, the parts are painstakingly gathered and reassembled in a hanger to deduce the cause for the collapse. The object of these analyses is to discover flaws in aircraft technology and thereby devise better and more reliable aircraft.
But if a 43-story building like Building 7–capable to carrying 4,000 “passengers”–suffers a catastrophic collapse, the Congress is prepared to look no further into its cause(s) and simply dismiss the collapse as a “mystery”?
I don’t think so. If one 43-story building collapsed in 7 seconds, and we don’t know why, how do we know that there isn’t some fundamental design flaw in our “skyscrapers”. If that design flaw could cause Building 7 to fall in 7 seconds, why couldn’t that same design flaw cause the Empire State Building or Trump Towers to also suffer sudden catastrophic failures and suddenly collapse, killing thousands of occupants? How ’bout the Sears Tower in Chicago or the Trans-America Pyramid in San Francisco? If the government is determined to painstakingly collect and analyze debris of aircraft that crash, why wouldn’t it collect and analyse the debris for a “skyscraper” that crashed?
The answer is that the government knows what caused the collapse of Building 7 and they don’t want that knowledge to reach the public.
If the Congress had suggested any particular cause (other than implosion by means of explosives) for the collapse of Building 7, that cause would’ve been quickly and easily debunked. By claiming no particular cause for the Building 7 collapse, th government leaves the arena open to various competing conspiracy theories. While one of those conspiracy theories would be true, it’s truth would be drowned out by the clamor of all the competing conspiracy theories. Result? The real cause might not ever be publicly revealed and accepted. In the resulting confusion and uncertainty, the real perpetrators might escape liability for their crime.
Insofar as Congress knows that 1) the only plausible explanation for the fall of Building 7 is by means of implosion; 2) it was virtually impossible for bin Laden’s gang to have secretly wired Building 7 with enough explosives to cause its collapse; then Congress knows that the real perpetrators for 9/11 were not bin Laden and the Muslims. If bin Laden wasn’t really responsible for Building 7, it’s extremely unlikely that he was responsible for the Twin Towers or for the Pentagon attack. Insofar as Congress knows or has reason to know that bin Laden and the Muslims probably didn’t cause 9/11, but Congress is nevertheless happy to blame bin Laden and the Muslims, then Congress is at minimum an accomplice after the fact in the 9/11 attacks.
Congress has conspired to ensure that the American people are denied a definitive understanding of the causes for 9/11. Insofar as elements of our government are involved in a cover-up of the causes of 9/11, it’s not hard to conclude that elements of our government were also involved as the actual perpetrators of 9/11.
Could our government have recruited bin Laden to support in 9/11? Yes. Could our government have recruited elements of Israel’s Mossad to participate in the 9/11? Yes. How ’bout some Jesuits? Yep.
But no matter who may be associated with 9/11, the real perpetrators for 9/11 must have been in our government–and at the highest levels.

Friends, in regards to this topic of Islam, terrorism, wars, etc. I would highly suggest watching the following two videos in order, and in actuality, this entire 36-video series, in order, would be best to understand the context of history and current events in light of Bible prophecy. Please let me know what you all think :-)
