Not "Brainwashed": American Women Who Converted To Islam Speak Out
NBC News ^ | April 26, 2013 | JoNel Aleccia

Posted on 04/26/2013 7:16:11 AM PDT by Biggirl

When an American convert to Islam was revealed as the wife of the dead Boston bombing suspect, Lauren Schreiber wasn’t surprised at what came next. Comments from former acquaintances and complete strangers immediately suggested that 24-year-old Katherine Russell, a New England doctor’s daughter, must have been coerced and controlled by her husband, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died last week in a firefight with police.

Google fashion maven Naomi “Earth Tones for Algore” Wolf about how her putting on a burka made her feel “liberated” because she was now no longer subjected to the “male gaze”.

H***, at her age she was no longer subjected to the male gaze anyway. Typical lefty ditz.

Every one is a potential terrorist or terrorist enabler. The FBI need to watch them.

There is a way to stop the suicidal MSM support and Government's embracement of the “Religion of Peace”.

Tools required:
(1) Three Pound Sledgehammer.
(1) Disposable Cell Phone

Operation Name: Expose The Truth

Date:
May 2 (Anniversary of Bin Laden death).

Action:
Use hammer to break door of local Mosque, upper corner opposite hinge side. One solid swing should be enough to set off entry alarm. Leave site...DO NOT ENTER.

Use phone to call local police and claim you have planted a device in the Mosque. Sound a bit crazy, you need to sell it.

Destroy phone.

The plan needs to be executed throughout out the country on the same date.

The police will have no choice but to enter the building to inspect for explosive devices.

If none are found across the nation, then we should rethink our distrust of them.

However, it is far more likely that all across the country, caches of weapons and ordnance will be found.

All members of the infringing Mosques can be deported as suspected terrorists.

Either way, good or bad, the truth will then be exposed.

It’s because the Moonies have quit recruiting brain-dead females to be used as their slaves, and they have to go to some OTHER cult that totally controls their lives instead.

I think, in part, mistaught Christianity, which teaches that men should be wussies to emulate Christ, is in part responsible for this.


When I became a Christian in 1981 I attended an AG church. My then wife and I attended a “young marrieds” class which eventually became the “young family” class. I attended for 18 years, leaving because of my divorce.

The class emasculated men. At first I was ok with it because I was just accepting everything they taught. But the more I studied the word the more I had a problem with it.

Finally, one day, one of the guys stood up and confessed that he had been a bad husband and had ruled his family like a tyrant. It was pretty interesting. When he was done talking, I stood up and said, and I paraphrase, the bible teaches that the man is to be the strong leader. He is to make the tough decisions and take the responsibility and bear the brunt of the fallout from the bad decisions.

I further said that most of the men in the class, including me, had the opposite problem of the guy that had just spoken. That is, we defer the authority to our wife, leaving her with the tough decisions and expose her, unprotected, to the fallout, and this violates the very word of God regarding teaching of the roles of the man and woman in a marriage.

I posed a situation to the class, if the husband and wife are driving in the car and they come to a Y in the road, and, after discussing it, the husband wants to turn left, but the wife wants to turn right. If they are a Godly marriage, which way do they tur?

As one, the commenters said they needed to continue discussing. I said the turn is now right in front of you. You either turn left, right, or plow into the barrier. Which way do you turn? I short circuited most of the brains in the room. Almost NOBODY could respond, though some suggested that a man wants to please his wife so they should turn right.

I said NO! The man is responsible for the decision and bears the weight of it, be it right or wrong. The correct answer is that they turn left. I further clarified that the man that firmly believes he should turn left but turns right to please his wife has done her a terrible disservice. The reasons are legion and for another post.

On a side note, virtually every woman in the room was staring daggars at me, though nobody could argue against my point.

It’s like arguing against the teetotalers in my Kentucky baptist church now. They can’t support their position but they stand by it strongly. Oy.

Mass conversions to Islam are coming. The attacks on the Christian religion and its morality have left a spiritual vacuum in America. That vacuum must be filled as drugs and copulation can only go so far in diverting people. The Games are only exciting for a few days before and after their occurrence. Islam offers a way out of the spiritual hell Americans have placed themselves. In addition, it is exotic which the trivial crave, it is structured, it superficially resembles our old morality, for example it deals properly with Sodomites, while Christian ministers marry them.

All it will take is one celebrity in their prime coupled an advertising campaign, movies and pictures of thousands bowing and it will sweep the country. Some time during the next ten years.

For the mystic does not the Book Of Revelations mention a "little book" which raises the question is that "little book" the Koran?

>>>She grew up in an agnostic family where she was encouraged to discover her own faith.>>>

Same old story. Don’t teach them about religion, and they’ll choose their own. I wonder how many of them choose well.

This could very well be why of the mass growth of the Christian in the global south nations at the present time because there is where the present and future missionaries are coming from, the global south and from there to the west and the rest of the world.

Mistaught and improperly practiced! Why else would a hellbound cult have any influence?

The structure part is, I think, why it is popular (especially with the black population) in prison.

Could be a flaw here. Around Northern Virginia all the mosques are under surveillance.

For those who are better educated in Biblical matters than I am: "Bible, King James Version Rev.10 [1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: [2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. [4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. [5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, [6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: [7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. [8] And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. [9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. [10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."

Is the above mentioed "little book" which is "honey" to the mouh but "bitter to the belly" the Koran?

Yes, it is entirely possible one would get charged with vandalism, but not break and enter.
For most,a first time offense, say you are sorry and pay for the door.
But the payout may well be worth the minimal risk.

There always has been and likely will be a percentage of the population that WANTS to feel like a victim. Of these, there is a smaller population that WANTS to be dominated, push around, perhaps even slapped around and humiliated.


There are also people who just have a need to be different. They adopt dress and behaviors that mark them out from the majority in order to feel superior or above it all or perhaps it is an attempt to legitimize their own feelings of isolation.

Others seem to crave some sort of legalistic coercion. They may see it as *structure*. And it may just give them a context in which to fight off innate anti-social compunctions.

It can be any cult, within or apart from a major religious
group.

I concur. I can only think of one time during my 26 year marriage that my own rather indulgent husband made a decision contrary to how I "felt". It was an emotional and weighty issue with consequences that could last for years.

He actually stood in front of me and said "I am the head of this household, I am telling you how this is going to be taken care of".

Though heartbroken, I conceded. I didn't tell him until years later how comforted I was to have that burden on his shoulders rather than mine. When a wife submits biblical to her husband,it is an awesome experience.

BTW. He was right, I knew he was. I just lacked the emotional strength to do what was right.

Ezekiel 3:3
Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
