Ed, I thank you for your service. My Dad was a D-day paratrooper who quietly carried his wounds of war and killing for 60 years, so I have an appreciation for what you do and suffer. Thanks.

I have to say though, I think the service you do today with The Truth of Islam is far more important, especially today.

While we are on the subject....

(Feel free to roll your eyes and say to yourself 'Here he goes again...')

None of us steely-eyed-barrel-chested-two-fisted-jungle-warriors thinks that going off to war thinking it is a great sacrifice. For some, it becomes a great sacrifice, but not all.

The stereotype of a warrior who was in a war but "doesn't want to talk about it", is largely false.

The reason most of us joined the Marines is so that we would have "war stories" to talk about!

(I don't know why anyone would join The Army.) :-)

Training, deployment and even getting shot at are stories that we love to tell. (Over and over again, my wife points out.)

I think it was Churchill who said that there is no greater thrill than "being shot at, and missed!".

The part that a combat warrior "doesn't want to talk about" is the taking of another man's life.

The saying that goes "There are no atheists in foxholes." could not be more true. The cultural imprint that all Westerners have is that if you kill an enemy soldier (even under the best of circumstances: D-Day, WW2, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, etc.) is that:

A) You sent this poor non-Christian to Hell

or

B) You killed a brother Christian

This is the 'burden of guilt' that warriors who have been in contact with the enemy and done their job carry with them.

For some, the burden is too much and they decide to shoot up a post office and/or shopping mall.

For others, like In His Name's father, they suffer with the guilt, quietly for the rest of their lives.

I thank YHWH for illuminating the doctrine of "door number two" by way of Yada and KP.

The idea that most who die will not be sent to an eternal punishment really changes how I look at things.

The relief from that burden of guilt felt greater than that of the forgiveness of sin offered by Yasheweh. (The latter occurred in childhood, the former took place last summer, so it may be an apples and oranges comparison, but that is how it felt)

Please remember, I am speaking in broad generalities here, there will be exceptions to what has been said here, regarding people's experiences and feelings.

Ed, thanks for this explanation. It helps define what I thought I knew about my father's experience. I hope in "Paradise" he has found peace with it.

The article is a bit vague regarding the cause)s) or what groups were involved. I read online that Madagascar has long had a Muslim population making up about 7% of the population.

Does anyone have any additional information about these riots?

From CNN:

And then there is the slant from CNN on the elections in Iraq'

From CNN:

Shalom,

Quite a few morsels to chew on and eventually throw up on, huh? Strife wherever they are, even Madagascar! C'mmon, it was a fun movie! Now it's gone the way of the dogs, and not in good fashion. And those endearing Christians willing to share their premises with the Muslims... let's see if they let you in their mega-mosque coming up in Londonistan soon. (As for Eurabia, don't get me started!) Anyway, I just wanted to leave a link for those who are following the convoluted Israel elections. This link is not about Likud or Israel Beteinu or Meretz or any party. Just Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs history of Israel's elastic borders. Have fun here: http://www.mfa.gov.il/MF...t+Israel/Israel+in+Maps/

Like we keep saying, it's not terrorism. It's Islam. Duh!

I want my 'M'-TV.

From CNN:

'M'(uslim)-TV...
'M'(uhammad)-TV...
'M'(urder)-TV...

Call it what you like.

Now, on to the real question: Are there hidden messages to sleeper cells contained in "Sultans of Swing" or "Brothers in Arms"?

From The Religion News Service:

Praying to Allah gets you put in jail.

I have always prayed to YHWH after crashing in an airplane (3 times, so far...). I stayed busy, doing my job, and hope that the passengers are doing enough praying on our way down.

On May 25th's Morning Edition show, broadcast by NPR (National Peoples Republic radio), Cory Flinthoff filed a report from Iraq regarding the mistreatment of blacks at the hands of Muslim Iraqi's.

The NPR even dared to reqount that 'blacks had come to Iraq as sailors or slaves' and 'in the 8th century, a slave rebellion had been put down by the Kalif'. Flinthoff then reported that blacks are demanding protection against physical abuse, 'like the Christians in Iraq are'.

Wow!

After this story was broadcast, they went right back to their regularly scheduled Obamarama Love Fest programing format...

This might not look like Islam in the News but it is. The reason for the visa restrictions is because the UK discovered that Muslims (mainly Pakistanis) were coming to South Africa to buy South African passports from the South African Home Office. Now all South Africans wanting to go to the UK have to apply in person at the UK offices in South Africa.

As a South African this is quite disappointing, we have to suffer more inconvenience due to the hand of Islam. But I'm glad the UK government labelled our Home Office as corrupt.
