No, not even a little bit.

First: I must congratulate the sailors, operators and support staff on the successful and just resolution of the operation conducted in Pakistan last week. Hard training, good intel, excellent logistics and aggressive action carried the day. Good show!

Second: Huge numbers of people are celebrating this event as though "The War on Terror" has been one. This is an extremely foolish notion. The Sheik was not the Supreme Commander of Al-Queda. He was not even the inspiration for Islamic violence: Allah is. Let those words be burned into your mind. Never forget them.

Allah, and his prophet, Muhammad are the inspiration for Islamic violence against the rest of the world. The marching orders for Al-Queda do not need to come from a cave in rural Wackistan (or an upscale villa near the suburbs of the Pakistani capital, as it turned out). The words that incite violent attacks come straight from the Koran itself.

It is not "radical Islam" or "the twisting of the words of Allah/Muhammad" that justifies the actions of terrorists. It is just the simple reading of the text itself. It is Islamic fundamentals that are the problem. Those who doubt this can simply read the 9th Surah (chapter) to see for themselves. The most popular English-language translation, "The Nobel Koran" has a page-long footnote detailing how the imperatives to wage violent war against the enemies of Islam are not culturally bound nor limited to a specific time and place and most importantly that modern weaponry is to be used including 'tanks, aircraft and artillery'. The footnote is included by the translators and was printed there just in case anyone missed what Allah/Muhammad was trying to say in the Ayat(verses) that make up the "War" Surah(chapter).

I can already hear it now: "You are taking those verses out of context!" "That is not what the Prophet (or Allah, if you prefer) meant by those verses..."

Oh, really? Anyone who says that the "War" verses of the Koran are not reflective of the true nature of Islam has not studied the Sira (sīrat rasūl allāh) or the ahaddith. These are the biographical/historical documents that give context to the Koran and further legitimate the Muslim conquest of the non-Muslim world.

Let me make this perfectly clear: If you read and study the Koran, in its historical context, along with the early, authentic, biographies of Muhammad, and you do what it says, you must strap on a bomb-belt and head down to the shopping mall.

Just as most Christians and Jews don't really take their faith seriously, the overwhelming majority of Muslims do not either. This is why most Muslims are not violent and are just like everyone else; Trying to make a better life for their children.

The problem is that there are a few people who actually read what Allah had to say in The Koran (al-Qur'an), pattern their life after how Muhammad conducted himself, and take it seriously. The Sheik (who is now with Muhammad/Allah, thanks to the actions of our sailors) was one of those people who actually took the text of Islamic primary sources to heart and acted upon them. The killing of this guy was just, it will yield in the spontaneous creation of many more just like him.

Make no mistake, we can expect an increase in violent attacks by militant Muslims to start almost immediately. They will not be in the form of hijacked airliners ramming into building, nor will they be suitcase-nukes at sports stadiums. They will be Mumbai-style attacks, low-tech, low-dollar, lone-gunman type events. 'Some guy' will be in the Food Court at The Galleria in [fill in your city here], scream out "Allah-hu Akbar" twice, then pull out a firearm from under his coat and start killing soccer moms in the name of The Religion of Peace.

The FBI, CIA, TSA or Jack Bauer himself cannot prevent save you at this point, but you can. You can save yourself and others if you are properly trained, equipped and ready for decisive action. [Shameless plug: You can begin the training process at my website by clicking http://OurSafeHome.net ] Armed citizens with only rudimentary training and minimal equipment have foiled terrorist attacks several times. If you do not choose to be one of these couragous individuals, you have chosen (in advance) to be a victim.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, "This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end, but it may be the end of the beginning."

Sorry, Daniel, but I just don't find justification for that advice in the Scripture. What I do find is Yahowsha telling us to turn the other cheek and to allow ourselves to be bullied out of our very clothing. How do you explain away those commands from Yahowah's mouthpiece?

I know that, besides the passage you reference in Nehemiah, other men of Yah went around armed, such as EliYah. Apparently, he had a sword with which he hacked to death some of the Lord's (Ba'al's) prophets for drawing the hearts of the people away from Yahowah. And Kepha (Peter) carried a sword but was rebuked for using it to protect the Master. So there can be made a case for going around armed, I'll grant that.

But I get from your message a sense that we ought to tie our 6-gun holsters to our thighs, throw on our cowboy hats and dusters, and saunter bow-legged through the malls looking for Black Ahkbar and his henchmen. The possibility of collateral damage from a shootout between the two parties would be, I am certain, extensive. And short of subjecting every potential or suspected Middle Easterner or sympathizer to a full body search, how would you tell who to target? So I think your advice is dangerous and unfitting.

Just my opinion. I've been proven wrong many, many times, so I won't be shattered if it happens again. But I will need something concrete and clear as freshly cleaned glass to make me comfortable with the idea of taking the life of another. Folks like you make it sound so casual and unimportant. I cannot bring myself to consider it like that.

Your friend and your brother,

Richard

And you would win that bet. My struggle is with coming to terms with it inside myself. Split-second, in-my-face decision? Waste the assailant on the spot and deal with matters of conscience afterwards. It's the afterwards that I am uncertain about.

I lean conservative in being prepared (as in: better to have your gun and never need it than the alternative of needing it and not having one)...if you come across the bad guy, have a misfire, it's obvious Yah wants us home with Him now - otherwise, the bad guy's going to get it if my glock has anything to say about it...my .02 worth

Last Sun-god-day, at the NRA meeting in Pittsburg, I met the vendor who sold this woman her weapon. It was a Colt Police Positive revolver in .38 Special. This is a weapon whose design goes back to 1899.

Word has is that she gave him one right between the running lights, dropping Johnny-Jihad to the grocery store floor like the sack of pig dung that he was. (Here it comes...) (Wait for it...)

CLEAN UP ON AISLE NINE!

(Sorry, I couldn't let that one go by!)

The upshot (pun intended) is that a woman, with minimal training and a century old weapon, was able to go home to her husband and children that night. Moreover, a dozen or so other people were able to go home to their families. Johnny-Jihad got to go and be with Muhammad/Alla, so everybody got what they wanted!

Richard, you have the right to choose (in advance) to be a victim. I also know that you know how to operate a firearm. If my kids were at a shopping mall in your part of the country, where Johnny-J decides to attack next, I would hope that you would do the right thing. Just so we are clear, the right thing is to give the bomb-belt wearing follower of Allah one right between the horns. If you do not, you will have willfully allowed MY kids to die. That would erect a stumbling block to our friendship.

A little old lady with a surplus .38 was able to thwart this monkey from killing many people a the supermarket, you, Marine, could do much better. Wear the cowboy hat and duster, if you like, but please, SAVE MY CHILDREN!

Love, you, Brother.

I think Denny and his bunch of fellow Yahudims are getting ready today for what may come tomorrow...His group has been putting things in order for a while now....I believe their assessment of, End Times may be off, but I appreciate their preparedness.

Look at some of his vids on how some in, YAH are getting ready.

Hi shalom82. America according to most sources is the biggest producer of porn from what I read, but per capita, S.Korea and Japan blew the US out of the water as far as consumers...I guess we either free 'em to enjoy their porn, or we defeat 'em to bring 'em porn?

I was wondering, can the Quran be put into real chronological order? If Muslim scholar Ali Dashti is accurate: "It must always be borne in mind that most of the Qur'anic laws and ordinances were formulated in response to random incidents and petitions from aggrieved persons. There are some inconsistencies in them and in the reasons that there are abrogating and abrogated ordinances.... The Qur'anic laws are brief and were insufficient for the needs of the huge Muslim community…" Muhammad was prepared to change his mind, vows, and rules according to the circumstances."

I find that one statement profound. Is he suggesting the Quran is a living breathing declaration? I do notice that when one of Mohammeds commands seem to be too hard to influence the crowd with, he has a right to change it to meet his needs...lol

I think we owe Yada a lot for doing what he did in Prophet of Doom. His work really settles the matter.

Let's say Mo lived in today's world, can you guys just imagine what would be included in his stash of porn?!

encounterHim, yeah, you are right, Mo pretty much made it up as he went along, hence why he came up with these two beautiful passages:

Reading that passage should produce the effect of having a bucketful of ice cold water splashed into one's face. The fact that those Muslims who can actually read have either read it and taken it as truth or have not bothered to read it at all causes a chill to race throughout my whole body.

The pastor of my former church said much the same thing, and in the next breath said that following the Torah was 'cultic'.

I would bet IMF head, Dominique Strauss-Kahn wishes he didn't have the, "power gene" about right now.
According to ABC NEWS, the lady that was attacked was a, "good muslim."....hmm, wondering if they could even
grasped the idea of..NO, you idiots, she's a bad muslim.

I love my country for what she is suppose to represent. I hate her for what she has become.
