snip The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.
Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, the Prophetic methodology, which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail. Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isnt actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it. Well need to get acquainted with the Islamic States intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal. snip

31:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep:
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
...........................
Well, a really strict following of the Old Testament would have you kill a neighbor who was caught outside his home mowing the lawn on the Sabbath, and there are many cases where the penalties for not following the rules are death. I do get your drift, though, that if we stuck to at least the first ten of the Commandments things would run better.
The usurper told him.
This Islamic Muslim in our White House is allowing these wars to escalate, the burning/crucifixion/cutting off of heads to continue, in order to bring the Muslims here in the millions to turn this country into a Muslim country.
Kart, you know some of us are prepared for whatever may happen. As Christians, we are not afraid.
Looks like their jihad to keep us down until the next caliphate can arise has worked as planned.
No one wants to take a stand for christ.
If we wait long enough for the Obama Tribe to say ‘my bad’ we will all be underground.
ISIS is conditioning the world for horror so that when they destroy Israel by nuclear attack there will be a reduced response from the world.
“Why is this such a bid deal” the Obama type anti-Semites will say. “They have been cutting off the heads of little Christian girls for a decade.”
Love that graphic, Kart. Amen.
What was the passage of “O Lord, strengthen my hands for battle...”
The scripture you are likely thinking of is when Samson called upon the Lord to strengthen him to destroy the Philistines who had taken his sight. He pulled down the pillars of that building and killed them all, including himself.
This Samson story is also current Israel's last option for war. It's called the “Sampson Option”. This means if Israel is going to be annihilated, they will use the “Samson Option” which means they will use a nuclear bomb to destroy their enemies, plus themselves, rather than be destroyed by their enemies as has happened in the past.
Here is the scripture:
“Judges 16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight
~ Psalm 144
Excellent. I did a Bible search and this verse did not pop up. In case of war, this verse should be on our chests:
“Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.”
~ Psalm 144
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
~ Psalm 144
I had that verse dog-eared in the little Gideon Bible I was given by the Freeper Canteen ladies prior to shipping out.
Has it already been ten years?
((((SARGE))))
How time flies when you’re having fun!
I’m so glad I was a tiny part of your deployment and life during the time you fought for our country!
I think you’re still fighting for it in a very different way now.
“ISIS is conditioning the world for horror so that when they destroy Israel by nuclear attack there will be a reduced response from the world.”
It would be a very sad day... and even worse that if this does happen and we do not melt Mecca it will show who has won...
I never made it above the rank of lance corporal, but I think I have a strategy to end this nightmare in a few months. The article states the koran for tells of an epic battle with the armies of Rome in the Syrian town of Dabiq.
snip
The Islamic State has attached great importance to the Syrian city of Dabiq, near Aleppo. It named its propaganda magazine after the town, and celebrated madly when (at great cost) it conquered Dabiqs strategically unimportant plains. It is here, the Prophet reportedly said, that the armies of Rome will set up their camp. The armies of Islam will meet them, and Dabiq will be Romes Waterloo or its Antietam.
We simply need to lure these all of rabid jackals there an slaughter them en masse. Done.
I’ve been paying attention to what Dr. Graham has been saying regarding Islam.....he has maintained his stance steady and not changed his initial remarks since he spoke out after 9/11.
But you see PC in America is the real enemy. For if we remove it we will remove the film from your ryes to see the evil of Islam.
