Among the thousands of people who have been killed, injured or taken hostage in Israel and the Gaza Strip in recent days are foreign nationals and dual nationals from nearly two dozen countries. A number of them were attending a music festival in the desert in southern Israel when Hamas militants stormed the grounds, shooting and abducting revelers.

I've been to Rome and Jerusalem and Mecca are on my bucket list. I guess Jerusalem might be a problem for a while.

How Islam progressively takes over countries
September 23, 201566222572

By Mark Ellis

Peter HammondDr. Peter Hammond
In Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam,” he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in various countries and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law.

“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Hammond notes in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”

Their takeover of a country, what Dr. Hammond refers to as “Islamization,” begins when the population of Muslims reaches a critical mass, and they being to agitate for various privileges.

Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable. “When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well,” he notes.

book coverbook cover
This is how it works, according to Dr. Hammond:

When the Muslim population remains under 2% in a country, they will be seen primarily as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the current situation in:

United States — Muslim 0.6%

Australia — Muslim 1.5%

Canada — Muslim 1.9%

China — Muslim 1.8%

Italy — Muslim 1.5%

Norway — Muslim 1.8%

As the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5%, they begin to recruit from ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, within prisons and street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%

Germany — Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%

Spain — Muslim 4%

Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

“From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population,” Dr. Hammond notes. “For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food” and increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature such food on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is happening in:

France — Muslim 8%

Philippines — 5%

Sweden — Muslim 5%

Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

Soon they begin to apply pressure to allow Sharia law within their own communities (sometimes ghettos).

“When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions,” Dr. Hammond notes. “In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.” These tensions are seen on a regular basis in:

Guyana — Muslim 10%

Riots in Pakistan, 2013Riots in Pakistan, 2013
India — Muslim 13.4%

Israel — Muslim 16%

Kenya — Muslim 10%

Russia — Muslim 15%

The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. “After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues,” such as in:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

“At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare,” such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%

Chad — Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, persecution of non-believing “infidels” rises significantly, including sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, a tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%

Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%

Qatar — Muslim 77.5%

Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out “infidels,” and move toward a 100% Muslim society, which has been experienced to some degree in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%

Egypt — Muslim 90%

Gaza — Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%

Iran — Muslim 98%

Iraq — Muslim 97%

Jordan — Muslim 92%

Morocco — Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan — Muslim 97%

Palestine — Muslim 99%

Syria — Muslim 90%

Tajikistan — Muslim 90%

Turkey — Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

A 100% Muslim society will theoretically usher in their version of peace — the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. “Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word,” such as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%

Somalia — Muslim 100%

Yemen — Muslim 100%

Dr. Hammond observes this Islamic ideal is seldom realized. “Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.”

“It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia law,” he states.

Dr. Hammond is also concerned by demographic trends. “Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population,” he observes. “But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century.”

Dr. Peter Hammond is a missionary who has pioneered evangelistic outreaches in the war zones of Mozambique, Angola and Sudan. Peter has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to deliver Bibles to persecuted Christians in Africa and Eastern Europe.

He is the Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship, the Founder and Chairman of Africa Christian Action, the Director of the Christian Action Network and the Chairman of The Reformation Society and the author of numerous missions-related books. He is the Editor of both Frontline Fellowship News and Christian Action.

Peter has developed the Biblical Worldview Seminar and Great Commission Course to mobilize churches to comprehensively apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life and to fulfill the Great Commission.

Peter was born in Cape Town and brought up in Rhodesia – now Zimbabwe. He converted to Christ in 1977, worked in Scripture Union and Hospital Christian Fellowship, served in the South African Defense Force and studied at Baptist Theological College, Cape Town. He also earned a Doctorate in Missiology. For more information about his book, go here.

Yes it should be on the front page of every news paper, or on all t.v. stations, but the fact it THEY ARE ALL SCARED, and don’t want to be called racists. But some one in the GUTLESS MEDIA, must take a stand before it’s to late.

A very short history lesson:
In 732 AD the Muslim Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and
turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell.
…in 1571 AD the Muslim Army/ Navy was defeated by the Italians and
Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe
in the Battle of Lepanto.
…in 1683 AD the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally
defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.

In 1783 AD when the British Colonies that would become the United States of
America gained independence from Great Britain, 5 Muslim countries of North
Africa declared war on our newly independent nation, hijacking and
kidnapping merchant sailors and selling them for ransom, or into slavery.
When the United States of America was established, we were forced to pay
extortion fees amounting to 20 – 25% of our federal budget to those Muslim
countries to keep them from their hijacking and kidnapping. It took two
administrations, Washington and Adams, to build a sufficient Navy so that
President Jefferson, in 1805, could send the Navy and Marines to conquer
Tripoli and end the piracy. Islam has been at war with the USA since our
founding.
If these battles had not been won we might be speaking Arabic and
Christianity could be non – existent; Judaism certainly would be… And let
us not forget that Hitler was an admirer of Islam and that the Mufti of
Jerusalem was Hitler’s guest in Berlin and raised Bosnian Muslim SS
Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions who killed Jews, Russians,
Gypsies, and any other “subhumans”.
This crap has been going on for 1,400 years and half of the
politicians don’t even know it..!
Reflecting
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine
that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history.
They really happened!!
Do you remember? I remember All of These
1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by
Muslim males.
3. In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where
a fuse was lit on final approach, it was blown up shortly after landing by
Muslim males.
4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome , with 33 people killed, when
it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.
5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.
6. During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by
Muslim males.
7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.
8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old
American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by
Muslim males.
9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver
trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.
10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.
11. In 1993 , the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim
males.
12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim
males.
13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to
take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into
the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers.
Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.
14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim
males.
15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by—you
guessed it—a Muslim male.
16. In 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing 4 Innocent people including a child
killed, 264 injured by Muslim males.
17. In 2014, thousands of Christian men, women, and children are
slaughtered, defiled, and beheaded by Muslim males.
No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to
ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on
killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile
certain people.
Absolutely No Profiling! Instead, they must conduct random searches of
80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification,
secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year
old’s, Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former
Governor Joe Foss, BUT leave Muslim Males alone lest airport security be
guilty of profiling.
Have the American people completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of
Reason???
Let’s send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and
other stupid attorneys, along with Federal Justices that want to thwart
common sense, feel ashamed of themselves — if they have any such sense.
As the writer of the award winning story ‘Forrest Gump’ so aptly put it,
“STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES”

“if you’re wondering if you can visit Mecca as a tourist, the simple answer is no, unless you’re a Muslim. Saudi Arabia’s government restricts entry to Mecca to Muslims only. Documentation will be checked upon entry, and anyone not showing proof of being a Muslim will be denied access. The penalty for non-Muslims attempting to enter is deportation from the country and a possible fine​​. This rule applies whether you’re trying to enter the city by plane, car, bus, or train​​.

During their pilgrimage, Muslims visit several sacred sites in Mecca, including the Sacred Mosque (al-Masjid al-Harami) and the Kaaba, the most holy place in Mecca and Islam. Other locations include Mina, Muzdalifah, the Hill of Arafat, Jabal Al Noor, and Jabal Al Thur, each with religious significance​.”

Yes,I'm aware of that.What I would do is pretend to want to convert to moslem and get some moslem preacher to declare me a moslem in writing.Then,if I'm challenged while there I show the letter and hopefully I'd be OK. I realize that there might be some danger involved but it would be a risk I'm willing to take.

Forgot to mention...I’ve spent some time on the Arabian Peninsula (the UAE and Oman) so I’m not entirely clueless on how things work.

If there is any reason to make changes to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, it should be to exclude ANYONE of the Muslim faith from holding political office on the state and national level in this country. Members of the “squad” and others in national positions of office come to mind.

If anyone wants to flame me, go for it….
