Thanks for taking the time to read it.
You're welcome.
I found it worth it!
It was all fun and games, and nobody died...
Except this guy, apparently:
That looks (at least from here) to be on par with the Nick Berg murder. I for one would like to hear an explanation of how he died.
The anger is STILL there.....

Thank you. Yes, I got the impression that you saw it on TV, but I was just trying to convey that 9/11 was deeply and profoundly personal for me, much the way the Berg murder has been for so many people. It had that same visceral response in me.
Well said.
Some added thoughts, you're thoughts were the same as mine and I was going to post a vanity on it as well but your post has done this so well, I might not post my thoughts. Instead, I have to say that I have to agree with you 100%. Thanks for posting on how I feel as well.
John The Baptist was decapitated by Herod because he pronounced 'This Jesus' and preached against sin. Herod and his brother's wife, the harlot, were frightened. I hope that the islamic fools see the parallel - they need to be frightened.

=== A toast to the next Crusades.
Rotsa ruck finding Christians who'll prosecute a Just War lest they be excommunicated -- as were plenty of key Crusaders -- who failed to do so.
Thanks buddy.

The time for choices has past. Let's get on with phase two.
Granted, qualifying it as a Just War might cut down on the numbers but I'm confident that the number we have on the ground are acting in a just fashion. And if they aren't I'm sure they will get prosecuted and dragged through the mud in due fashion.
Ok then I won't equivocate. Islam is evil. It starts with Mohammad himself - a warlord who conquered and enslaved. Compare him to Jesus for a moment - a martyr who died because he wouldn't not fight:
The Gospel of Matthew:
51Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
53Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
Christianity spread in-spite of this sacrifice (indeed because of it) and over 300 years of intermittent persecution.
Islam was spread by the sword - enslavement, murder, oppression, forced conversion.
The Koran (the recitiation) states that an angel came to Mohammad and told him what to write - that angel is identified as Gabriel but I think it is very clear what we are dealing with here is the religion of another angel - Lucifer.
There may be individuals out there who believe they are Muslims and are decent human beings who want peace. The problem is they are heretics to their declared faith.
There could be no clearer prophecy regarding the appearance of Islam than Matthew 15-23:
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
The fruits of Islam are terror, murder and oppression that is plain to see. The last two verses refer to your 'moderate' Muslims - they have been decieved and when they are judged Christ will indeed say "I never knew you"
Might be time for more muslims to not only step up and denounce the written word but also the actions of a few.
THanks! Great collection. Mohammed is the anti-Christ.
