Al hudna - what 'peace' really means in Islam
Hudna has a distinct meaning to Islamic fundamentalists, well-versed in their history: The prophet Mohammad struck a legendary, ten-year hudna with the Quraysh tribe that controlled Mecca in the seventh century. Over the following two years, Mohammad rearmed and took advantage of a minor Quraysh infraction to break the hudna and launch the full conquest of Mecca, the holiest city in Islam.

When Yassir Arafat infamously invoked Mohammad's hudna in 1994 to describe his own Oslo commitments "on the road to Jerusalem," the implication was clear. As Mideast expert Daniel Pipes explained, Arafat was asserting to his Islamic brethren that he will, "when his circumstances change for the better, take advantage of some technicality to tear up existing accords and launch a military assault on Israel." Indeed, this is precisely what occurred in Sept. 2000 when Arafat & Co. launched a terror assault upon Israeli citizens.

Ahmadinejad vows no Iran concessions in nuclear crisis...

Hopes of a breakthrough rose in recent weeks after Ali Akbar Velayati, the top foreign policy advisor to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said it would be in Iran's interests to accept the package.

Ahmadinejad, who has already dismissed Velayati's comments as personal, reaffirmed that he was in charge of Iran's nuclear case.

"They (world powers) thought the nation was divided, that the people and the president had been sidelined in the nuclear case and that they would be able to impose their views.

"But I told them they were mistaken to celebrate and their feast would soon turn into a funeral."

And Obama wants to negotiate with Iran? Ahmadinejad is threatening the West with death. Good luck with the 'negotiations' (ridiculous!)

Former CIA Agent in Iran Comes In from the Heat

Revelation 16:

12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon [satan], out of the mouth of the [LBL] beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet [Mohammad]. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

Pentagon official warns of Israeli attack on Iran

Senior Pentagon officials are concerned that Israel could carry out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities before the end of the year, an action that would have enormous security and economic repercussions for the United States and the rest of the world.

A senior defense official told ABC News there is an "increasing likelihood" that Israel will carry out such an attack, a move that likely would prompt Iranian retaliation against, not just Israel, but against the United States as well.

Muslim mentality source of trouble

Article Last Updated: 07/02/2008 08:31:01 AM EDT

Wednesday, July 02

In Gaza, what has gone wrong?, asks Nicholas Kristof in his June 21 op-ed column. Well, it is not, as he claims, Israel's closing of the border, or retaliating for non-stop rocket attacks, or the invasion into Lebanon to stop Hezbollah, or denying visas to Fulbright recipients to study in our colleges on our dimes.

What has gone very wrong is the medieval mentality of Muslims who promulgate a pathological, anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Western hatred. They teach it in the mosques, in the homes, in the schools in Gaza and throughout the Muslim world. Their mantra is, "we hate you and we want to drive you from this land into the sea, but in the meantime, my child needs an operation so I want to use your excellent hospital to cure her."

Where are all those so-called moderates? I do not hear their protests against the terrorists. On the contrary, it was mostly moderates who were dancing and celebrating in the streets when the twin towers came down on 9/11. It seems that in the inverted morality of Islam in general and Palestinians in particular, hate trumps love thy neighbor every time.
