Excuse me, but...is anyone aware that according to Islam's holy book, the Quran, terrorists are forbidden from attacking us until after Ramadan, which ends around November 14th? We are lowering terror alerts for financial institutions in New York, Washington and New Jersey just before the end of Ramadan? Is our government completely oblivious to actual religious beliefs of Islam?
"When the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush." (Koran 9:5)
There were rumors of a terrorist attack before the elections, which I thought was odd considering this verse. So when Osama Bin Laden merely warned us and tried to influence the election verbally, it made sense. Osama is following the Koran. He always has. If he and his henchmen are so attuned with their religious beliefs that they strap on bombs and blow themselves up to be martyrs for Allah, why do we doubt November 14th might be a day to, well, notice?
Actually, it's a little difficult to determine exactly what day Ramadan is over, something that one would think to be at the touch of a keyboard. Let's see — "when the sacred month is over, start slaying." That's not hard to comprehend, and why is it so hard to find an exact date of Muslim celebrations for this event? Are attacks strategized according to the crescent moon too?
Personally, I'd feel a whole lot better about it if people were worried. I have always kept in mind that Paul wrote in the New Testament that sudden destruction will come when everyone is saying "peace and safety." (1 Thes 5:1-3) So when America goes to orange alert, that's when I kick off my shoes and relax.
As a Christian, fear doesn't really have an impact for me. But, it's kind of surprising that there is not a hint of concern from the liberals. Are they saying, "Peace and safety"? Maybe they are too preoccupied making hysterical claims that President Bush didn't win because of Christianity, trying to diffuse the obvious Christian heart of our nation. Maybe they're preoccupied with calling Christians "dumb" and "moronic," defending their liberal views and blaming the loss of the election on Kerry's packaging and delivery.
Meanwhile, Ramadan is over in three days and we're lowering our guard. It's probably because the financial institutions are located in states that voted for Kerry and Bin Laden promised he wouldn't attack them. Bin Laden also can't attack California and New York, where all the city slickers live. Bin Laden must be having a good time plotting how he's going to bomb the potato fields of Idaho or the snow caps of the Alaskan tundra, both homes of strong supporters for President Bush. Yep, Bin Laden will be skipping densely populated cities for the wheat fields of Kansas. Family farmers with traditional values will have to run and hide while the liberal states that are so offensive to the Middle East will be spared.
Bin Laden must be in a real quandary. Cities like San Francisco and Hollywood are replete with abortion activists, gay parades, pornography, the festering cities of America all succumbed to Bin Laden's threats and obeyed him. How is Bin Laden going to orchestrate a coup d'état on America's heartland without hurting his faithful Kerry fans of the coast?
Maybe we can feel secure because our troops have completely engaged the terrorists in Fallujia (May God save and bless them). Or maybe our government is banking on Bin Laden following the method of Muhammad more than the Koran, because their role model ignored his own orders from Allah when he slaughtered and celebrated his first major battle in 624 AD at the start of Ramadan. Ahhh, those were peaceful times. Perhaps that is why Muhammad's followers peacefully struck the international Red Cross headquarters during Ramadan in Baghdad last year, leaving 40 dead and 200 wounded. I wonder if the nobility of suicide bombers will be written in America's history books, as they write about the nobility of Muhammad today?
Okay, I'll go along, "peace and safety." Except when we say that, the Bible says disaster will strike. Quick, somebody wake up the liberals, President Bush is still in office, disaster is at hand, why are you quiet? WAKE UP! There is a corncob in Kansas that needs you!

Jen Shroder is founder of BlessedCause, an organization dedicated to restoring sanity to our public schools and exposing the Islamic indoctrination of American textbooks. Shroder has been interviewed by Fox News, Associated Press, and dozens of talk radio hosts and news media.
BlessedCause was publicly named by the California Democrats as "behind the recall," and shortly thereafter a plot to frame BlessedCause was discovered and exposed before fruition.
There is evidence that BlessedCause has made political impacts in the John Walker Lindh case. BlessedCause has been covertly linked to by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nation's nuclear watchdog, raising questions about the Clinton administration and our public school affinity to Islam.
Jen Shroder began BlessedCause as a mere mom outraged by the homework assignments and textbooks her children brought home from public school, and claims God's leading as the only explanation for the success of her website, BlessedCause.org.

I don't know, Charlie Brown, don't you think Ramadan's gotten too commercial?
I'm shocked. I've been told that this was the religion of peace. I thought that a great religion had been hi-jacked. This can't be.
Terrorists are Muslims in name only (MINO). This is similar to people who are Christians in name only (CINO). People like John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, etc.
Surah IX (Repentance) 14. Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them, and He will heal the breasts of folk who are believers.
I think it's been shown in Iraq that these guys don't care about Ramadan
I think it is prudent to keep alert in general. Those Mullahs are pretty good with coming up with an excuse for breaking any thing ("Your Own Personal Interpretation of Quran" YOPIOQ). Weren't a couple of the suicide hijacking terrorists drinking in a girly bar the night before the deed?
I always thought the "in name only" crowd was the one who didn't adhere to the group's fundamental beliefs.
If that's the case, and if I read the Koran correctly, looks to me like the terrorists are the true Muslims.
No, terrorists follow the Koran to the letter. You need to become informed.

It's not true that ramadan says that war is not allowed.
Mahammed himself attacked his own tribe during ramadan.
if you check, you will find that ramadan is the best time to kill an infidel, you get a higher station.
Thank you for the heads up.
Your welcome. enjoy the read. that online book, 'prophet of doom' is probably the easyest way to learn all you need to know about islam. It's a good read.
Yep, we have a winner. The terrorists are following the book. The "moderate" Muslims are the ones who are deceiving.
Probably why the terrorists are killing their fellow muslims. Looks like an internecine battle for control of all Islam to establish sharia laws and political policy whereever they propagate.
Perhaps the peaceful muslims (an oxymoron) should change the name of their religion to remove themselves from the hit list.
You hit the nail right on the head. muslims who don't fight for Islam (fundamentalist islamic totalitatian teocracy) are considered apostates. Those "terrorists" want to live in the 7th century. Except they want the whole world to live that way. Loosing Iraq to secularism will be a death blow to the cult.
Then again, perhaps a peaceful muslim is only peaceful because he didn't behead anyone that day, or beat his wife, or cut off anyone's fingers, or give a lecture at the local school or university on the benefits of being a muslim, or participate in a demonstration objecting to being profiled at the local airport, etc., etc., etc.
That is the bottom line. That is why the rest of the ME have their antennas up.
