They continually gather together for war.” Ps 140:1-2
“He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling in the fear of God.” 2 Sam 23:3
On the current national/political scene, our leaders and media elites display an obvious lack of wisdom and understanding about our enemies.The fact is these peoples’ ideologies simply do not permit them to negotiate or cut any deals.Our leaders’ willingness to accept and believe false assumptions accentuate the dangers we face as a nation.How is it that our enemies’ goals continue to be unknown?The articulated purposes of the “Islamofascists”/jihadists have been largely obscured by politically correct myths, which minimize their true motives.
Where are our “leaders” who are full of courage and understanding, and who will stand for Righteousness and Truth, and who will govern in the Fear of God?
“One of the greatest weaknesses… is the striking inability of the political leadership and body politic to define and reach a consensus on who the Islamist enemy is and what the enemy wants. There is a striking lack of intellectual curiosity, or perhaps fear because of concerns about political correctness, that have blocked a serious discussion…what their real targets and objectives are and how that group fits into the broader Islamist project of converting the world to an Islamic state ruled by _sharia_ law.” (seeKnowing the Enemy by Douglas Farah)
President Bush in his recent speech before the Israeli parliament said:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along…”
Could we negotiate with radical, terrorist states or organizations and achieve a mutually desirable outcome?ABSOLUTELY NOT!These zealots have a definite mission which will not be deterred by any negotiations, concessions or appeasements.
Below are insightful excerpts which clarify the position of our enemies:
IRAN:
“Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Sunday Iran will continue its nuclear program despite Western efforts adding, ‘No threat can hinder the Iranian nation from its path.’”
“Rejection by any nation’s population to embrace Islam gives rise to Ahmadinejad’s duty to seek its destruction.” Read the entire article: Ahmadinejad is Iran's Jim Jones by James Zumwalt, which informs of Ahmadinejad’s core beliefs.
HAMAS:
“Before any further discussion on whether to engage Hamas, the U.S. should examine what Hamas has to say about its own aspirations, which are clearly stated in its own charter.”
According to their charter, the mission of Hamas is the destruction of Israel, to include all Jews; world domination where Islam is the measure of justice and liberty (Sharia law); and violent Jihad as the primary means to achieve their goals.
“The next time foreign policy experts, the State Department, or media pundits advocate talks with Hamas, I hope they ask themselves which of the tenets is on the table. If we are not prepared to believe wild anti-Semitic delusions, sacrifice Israel, devote all Western media to the Islamist message, glorify violence or look forward to a world in which Islam is the measure of justice and liberty, what is there to discuss?”
Read the entire article: To Talk or Not to Talk by Peggy Shapiro, which exposes the mission of Hamas).
HEZBOLLAH:
Mark Steyn quotes former Hezbollah leader, Hussein Massawi:
“We are not fighting so that you will offer us something.We are fighting to eliminate you.”
“What would a President Obama do?” Victor Davis Hanson comments:
“[W]e certainly know that Obama is willing to meet any and all our enemies without preconditions. During a televised debate he was asked directly whether he would agree ‘to meet separately, without precondition . . . with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea,’ Obama replied: ‘I would.’”
“The problem here would not be in theory talking with an Iran or Syria…but in a priori signaling to tyrants such an eagerness to elevate their grievances to head-of-state diplomacy. Under what conditions, how long, and to what degree Obama would be willing to exercise non-diplomatic options (ed. note: military) when talks proved futile…”
“If a President Obama were to enter into multiple negotiations with Iran…, at what point would he be willing not merely to cease talking, but to accept that his negotiations had done more harm than good and thus required a radical change of course — and would it be in time?”
Make every effort to avail yourself of these articles, as well as the relevant articles listed as below.And PRAY that our “leaders” would have eyes to see, and that the plans of the enemy would end in futility.

How to Pray:
LORD, grant that our leaders would turn from their wicked ways; that they would humble themselves and seek YOU! (Ezek 3:19; 33:11; Joel 2:12f; 2 Chron 7:14);
OPENtheir eyes, that they might see and understand ( 2 Kings 6:20; Is 11:2; 42:18);
Cause our leaders to be JUST men, RULING in the FEAR of GOD (2 Sam 23:3, 2 Chron 19:9; Neh 5:9);

Islam lay dormant for centuries in the Mid Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia, and Northern Africa. The relatively small amount of aggression we have seen from them comes as a result of imperialistic aggression and exploitation on the part of, first, Great Britain, and then the U.S., who have wanted to steal those countries' resources. This is true with all the countries listed as "axis of evil" countries. The U.S. government condems these nations because they refuse to be dominated by western monopoly capitalism. Maybe it is high time that we, the average U.S. citizens, refuse to be dominated by it as well. Islamofascism and jihadism doesnt hold a candle to western military aggression, western monopoly capitalsim which is fascism, and the diabolical activities of the CIA. It is not Hama, Hizbollah, Iran, Venezuala, North Korea, or Russia that we need fear. It is western fascism that should be our primary concern. Obama, Clinton, or McCain are merely their puppets.

Maybe YOUR enemies but not mine. Funny how those who are too old, too disabled, or just plain too cawardly to present thier own bodies to fight are the ones who call for war the loudest. What "Your enemies" really don't want is us shoving our opostate ways down their throats which leads to our gangs, drugs, pregnant teens, abortion, and other godless vices which we thinly diguise as grace.

Why they are angry and it is not as simplistic as them hating the Christian faith. Our country, and the military industrial complex has made life aweful for many people all over the world. Blowback is a result of us interfering in others bisiness. Obama will do a lot in hopefully fixing our image to the world, fighting more war will not. We are truly in the last days when good is evil and evil is good. Click here to reply to this post
OBAMA IS NOT TRUTHFUL

Obama will not be able to change the mind of terrorists whose goal is to force us to be Muslims or kill us. He will find that they are not as stupid as US citizens who he promised to solve all of their problems without specifying how he would do this. Obama will bring change, things will go from bad to worse. If Obama is such a agent of change AND his desires are good, then why did he not bring about any change in the black supremest church he attended for 20 years. He listened to this man preach hate and prejudice and did nothing. He either agreed and is lying to get our votes or is a liar and does not care. I will not vote for a white man who is prejudice against blacks; but I will also NOT vote for a black man who is prejudice against whites or apathetic to that prejudice. Obama is one or the other, his behavior at that church proves it. Lou Click here to reply to this post

How your enemy would be able to come over here with enough men dressed like lawrence of Arabia to patrol the streats of our cities in all 50 states in order to force us all to "Convert"? This idea that we need to go over there so we won't have to fight them over here is absurd. Quite to the contrary, invading them over there and trying to force them to exchange thier Quarans for our condoms will not only make them more angry but the next time we have another 9-11, the entire world will be telling us that we evil invaders deserved it.

MURDER IS IMMORAL

I did not even mention the subject of the US going over to Muslim countries. The subject of my remark was the stupidity and ignorance of Obama to even think you can negotiate with someone who has sworn to kill you unless you convert to his false religion. If Obama is willing to convert then he is a hypocrite to claim he is a Christian. If he is even sincere about being a Christian then why would anyone negotiate with someone who has sworn to kill you and demonstrated many times their will and sincerity to do so. Is Obama going to volunteer to die. As far as our being in any Muslim country. The Muslims have declared war on us and the governments of some countries claim not to support this war. BUT they do nothing to stop this war even if it is waged from their soil. Any people, even those who are immoral such as many in the US still have a right to defend the life of their children. Almost every Muslim nation has a fundamental Muslim group that has declare war on the US and they do nothing to stop these people. Many even support them. We have every right to be in almost any Muslim nation because of their acts of war on US. We have went into their nations and they invited us in most of them. OF the US people who go into these nations Many are immoral. But the Muslims are immoral also, or would you not call murder immoral. Lou Click here to reply to this post
