I had lunch yesterday with three gentlemen who are very well read, who follow the news attentively, and who would shudder to think they are victims of ideological censorship. Yet not one of them and the trio includes a very famous former reporter (a first-class reporter at that) for one of the countrys top newspapers had heard a word about Egyptian President Sisis remarkable New Years Day speech, in which he called upon Muslim leaders and scholars to carry out a religious revolution.
All three watch TV news ... so they were surprised that they hadnt heard about it. They agreed that the story warranted banner headlines. World-wide.

Its a huge story. And its been spiked, at least for the moment.
Sisi was speaking in Cairos most famous theological center, and his audience included the countrys leading imams. He told them that the dominant thinking of virtually all authoritative Islamic religious leaders had turned the entire world against them:
The corpus of texts and ideas that we have made sacred over the years, to the point that departing from them has become almost impossible, is antagonizing the entire world. You cannot feel it if you remain trapped within this mindset. You must step outside yourselves and reflect on it from a more enlightened perspective.
-excerpt- He is telling the imams that they lack enlightenment, they are trapped in a mindset of their own creation one that enforces a fundamentalist reading of Islamic law (sharia) and leads to violent jihad. ... he tells them theyve got to change their thinking, and therefore, their actions. Enough, already:
we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move

I thought you were going to tell me I could rent vhs tapes again!
Spiked also is the story from Australia banning jihad and the muselmen outcry that banning jihad is to ban Islam ...
sorry
Yes, indeed. But he'll likely wind up going the way of Anwar Sadat.
The Muslims trace their lineage to Abraham through his son
Ishmael... who they claim as eldest, is the son of promise, not Isaac as Jehovah God (aka:real God) declared (Genesis 22:15-18). God blessed Ishmael, but also described him and his progeny which gave rise to Islam ...
Genesis 16:12...
“He shall be a wild ass of a man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every mans hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
We see this prophecy come to pass everyday!
Sadat was on a similar crusade and it too was not deemed worthy of Western media attention. The insaniacs that run Islam murdered him for it and the WQestern Press assigned blame to his détente with Israel. The lying was more sophisticated back then don’tchaknow.

There has been many instances where when finally some details about a story finally start filtering out (for example about st swisher), where I will tell my friends....yeah about x,y,z I told you about that 6 months ago and you didn’t believe me, and they reply, yeah you read those wacky far right sites (like free republic), and I reply, yes and I keep telling you about things 6 months to a year in advance before they are on the news, doesn’t that make you wonder?
