Is Barack Obama the person to takeover the reins of the United States of America?

I have been watching the throngs of Barack Obama supporters as they swell the political gatherings. They appear go be in the presence of the man that is going to take this country forward, to leave behind the shackles of the past. He is the champion to mend the divide between the races. The past is the past and the future leads to the land of milk and honey. Where a person’s creed, race and social, economic standing, will not stand in his or her way, in the new world of change. Obama is the vehicle of change that will erase all the injustices of the past. The white man can ease his conscience for the sins of his father and his father’s father. The black man can now standup and say it is time, time for the oppression of the black man to end. This country is now ready for a man of color to lead us all.



So Obama is that man, his shining torch will lead the way. But what do we really know about this man. He is very successful, both he and his wife are highly educated and they appear to have the perfect family. The American dream that should be available to everyone apparently has been achieved by the Obamas.



He has had a different upbringing than most African Americans. He was born in Hawaii to a white mother and a Kenyan Father. His mother, not an advocate of religion, was a self-proclaimed atheist nor was his father, a devoted Muslim. His parents divorced when Obama was of a very young age. Obama and his family went to Indonesia where Obama spent a few years in different schools. His racial make up would not have been an ethnic obstacle in his younger years in Hawaii or Indonesia. Through his stepfather, he was exposed to Islam. This was, by at times, going to the local Mosque with his stepfather and limited Islamic study at one of the schools that he attended. This all ended in 1971 when he brought to the United States.



Obama was afforded an exceptional education at both Columbia University and Harvard Law School, were he excelled. Early on, he became a civil rights lawyer and worked in community affairs. He made his way into politics both in the Illinois State Senate and as the U.S. Junior Senator from Illinois in 2004. Here we are today, Obama one of the leading candidates for the Democratic Bid for the White House.


Barack Obama and his wife are examples of how hard work can lead to the White House. In spite of the obstacles, many minorities have faced in the past; the present and the future appear to be brighter. So why are we hearing about their church minister and how he hates whites and this country is the curse of the earth? Recently, Michelle Obama has made statements about this country that might be explained by the twenty years of exposure to The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor of Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. So is Michelle the window into the inner thoughts of Barack Obama? Has Barack Obama’s upbringing and long association with the likes of Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. and others, created an anomaly contrary to the best interests of this country. Is he the person to takeover the reins of the United States of America?

Adam the first human, the first Muslim

The Muslims believe that Adam, “the first man” was the first Muslim. According to some Muslims, Adam built the original Ka’ba (seven to eight thousand years ago?). Hadiths and Muslim scholars of that time, also said the age of the earth was about six or seven to eight thousand years old (similar to the age in the Old Testament). Because of what Western science has determined, Muslims now say the earth is 4.5 billion years old and you have to understand that the Qur’an meant (Allah’s creation took six days) 4.5 billion years, if you twist the words around. That makes the Ka’ba the oldest and best built building in the World. However, I do believe that there are now Muslims who believe as Western science believes, modern man came out of Africa a million years ago and/or a couple hundred thousand years ago. All you have to do is go back and look at the Qur’an and realize, time as it is today, was different back then (4.5 billion, one million, two hundred thousand or six thousand years ago?), that still makes the Ka’ba pretty old. You can’t beat Islamic science and technology back then or as it is in the world today. Also with the Ka’ba located in Mecca, why isn’t it located in Kenya Africa where modern Man first appeared?


Adam was the first human given the knowledge of Allah, but this knowledge was lost. According to Islam, the Old and New Testaments are also the Word of Allah but the Jews and the Christians (later) corrupted the books. Why did Allah allow this to happen? As stated in the Qur'an, Abraham (of the Old Testament) and Ishmael were commanded by Allah to rebuild the Ka’ba. The Ka'ba was the first place on earth appointed as a house of worship. Why didn't Allah command the Prophet Moses and his people, to go to Mecca? Why didn't the Prophet Jesus journey to Mecca during his lifetime? When the Qur’an was written after the Gospels, Jesus’ mother was said to be the sister (Miriam) of Moses. The Qur’an confuses Mary, mother of Jesus, with Mary (Miriam), sister of Aaron and Moses, in the Old Testament. But again this is to be taken symbolically; the Qur’an has no errors in it and you have to give the Qur’an some slack. It is the only book in the world that has no errors, it was written by Allah, right?


It is said by some, Muhammad and his followers wrote the Qur’an, they plagiarized the Testaments; they didn’t have any concept of time pertaining to the bible and mankind before civilization. When they were rewriting the bible (the Qur’an) they didn’t consult with Jewish and Christian scholars, was that a blunder or was it done on purpose? One can talk about the errors in the bible but the Muslims compounded the errors by plagiarizing the bible and putting their own slant (reformation) on the bible. They called the new uncorrupted version of God’s (Allah) message, “the Qur’an” and declared Muhammad the new Prophet. Therefore, even though the Old Testament and the Gospels are also the Word of Allah, somehow Allah allowed the Jews and Christians to corrupt his word, they were evil and wicked people!


Isn’t convenient that the Christians got the story about the Prophet Jesus wrong. Jesus was not the Son of God but only a Prophet like Muhammad and a lesser Prophet. Jesus did not die on the cross; he did not die for the sins of Man. If Jesus was only a man, but a man like Buddha, with insight as to what God is and how we should live our lives, he would be disappointed and sadden by what many Christians did in the name of God and mortified by the vulcanization, distortion and misrepresentation by Islam. You can point out that the Christians also made the Old Testament obsolete, so what Islam did to the Gospels was no different. However, the world doesn’t have 2 billion Christians threatening (maybe in the past), the world with submission, oppression and possible death. But it does have 1.4 billion Muslims looking to the day when Allah rules the World.


It is said that you can find the speed of light and the big bang theory in the Qur’an, if you twist the words around enough. The problem is, today, Islam is using modern Western science to validate the Qur’an at the expense of Western religion. If you are a Christian, you can’t view the world through modern science but if you are a Muslim, modern science is revealed in the Qur’an. As to the original messages and dates in the Torah (bible) and the Qur’an, the civilization of the Fertile Crescent didn’t emerge until after the last ice age of ten thousand years ago. So the time frames found in both Judaism and Islam are understandable, if one is using the texts as a moral compass but understand that Modern science is revealing the true age and nature of the Universe. Was there a cosmic intelligence that created the Universe and is this Universal Consciousness hardwired to each and every being on earth and the rest of the Universe? There are billion and billions of heavenly bodies in the vast universe. So what difference does it make what we call the Cosmic Consciousness, is it God or a number of Gods, is it male or female? As Man looks to the heavens, he has seen the face of god as Buddha, the Great Spirit, Jehovah, Allah, Jesus and other deities. But it is looking back on all of us without favoritism, for if there is a Cosmic Consciousness, it sees us all, as his children.


Man the highest form of life on earth and possibly the Universe is evolving, possibly evolving into the image of God. Man can now procreate in a test tube; he is unraveling the code of life. The creation of life might be in his grasp, death, as we know it may be altered. Man may some day travel and colonize the Universe. Earth may be the Garden of Eden and as we gain the knowledge of God, we may have to leave our earthly birthplace, as the earth is overpopulated and polluted. As Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden, maybe the grand design is for man to populate other planets and colonize the Universe. Adam and Eve were not Muslims, they represent the first humans and like children, they were void of prejudges caused by religion.

The Band plays on as Sharia Law, marches into Europe

Danish police have uncovered a plot to kill one of the Danish cartoonists, involved in the illustrations of the Prophet Muhammad, two years ago.

The above is just one of many recent examples, of Islamic followers willing to kill, in the name of Islam. Since the dawn of Islam, its followers have taken up the sword, to carry out the teachings of the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad. The act of killing without guilt or reflection is justified or a right, when there has been a violation of Sharia law or insult of Islam. The actions of the assassins have no international boundaries, even if it is not carried out in a Muslim country. To the zealots, Sharia Law is above all other laws.

In the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad there is only one God, Allah and Sharia law. The people of the book (the Jews and the Christians) plus all other nonbelievers of the World are under the yoke of Islam. So why doesn’t the non-Muslim world see what is in store, if the Muslim world gets its way? One sees almost daily occurrences locally or internationally, where governments or communities are required to submit to the edicts of Islam. This goes beyond political correctness; Islam requires that the non-Muslim world submit to its way of life.

The World has surpassed the achievements of the Golden Age of Islam. Western Science, Technology and Democracy have long surpassed the accomplishments of Islam. Is the World willing to step back in time, to a place and time of oppression and submission, to the laws of Islam?

The changing of the guard is about to take place and no one is watching, so the band plays on, as we sink in the quagmire of Islamic domination.

Science and Religion

From the sixteenth century to the present time, men of the cloth or men of religious conviction have put forth scientific concepts, which were not always popular in religious circles. If these ideas had been successfully suppressed, Modern Western Society would not be as it is today.

Nicolaus Copernicus was born in 1473 and lived until 1543. He was a Polish Catholic cleric, mathematician and astronomer; he is credited with putting forth the concept, of the planets revolving around the sun. Both Greek and Islamic astronomers influenced his work. The church did not attack his work at first. Galileo Galilei, renowned for his work in physics, mathematics and astronomy (father of modern science), supported Copernicus's theory. Galileo an Italian was born in 1564 and died in 1642. Even though he was a Roman Catholic, he advocated scientific ideas that were contradictory with church doctrine. His scientific work brought him criticism by the Catholic Church. Near the end of his life, he was put on trial for heresy. But the noble ideas of Man and Science prevailed. Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966) developed the modern day Big Bang Theory (the Universe started as an explosion of energy, space, time, and matter). Lemaitre was a Belgian mathematician and Catholic priest.

Man's advancements of science and his personal religious beliefs can coexist. Because of Science, modern technology has transformed Mankind. Science and the concept of Democracy have freed man from the past and oppression.

But the world finds itself in two camps, the clash of the Muslim world with the non-Muslim world. But like in the sixteenth century, there is a beacon of hope. A Pakistani Scientist by the name of Dr. Pervez Amirali Hoodbhoy, published an article entitled "Science and the Islamic world-The quest for rapprochement" (August 2, 2007). From the perspective of a Muslim Scientist, he addresses the relationship between today's Science and Islam. He speaks of the Golden Age of Islam, from the ninth to the thirteenth century. The Golden Age of Islam brought about major advances in the sciences, mathematics and medicine. Algebra, principles of optics, the human body’s circulation of blood, the naming of stars and the creation of schools of higher learning, were the results of Islam. He asks what will it take to bring science back into today’s Islamic world? He remarks, that it will require behavioral changes in Islamic philosophy and attitude. He further states, that the battle to reinstall Science will require a wider struggle, to replace non-compromising orthodoxy with modern thought, philosophy, the arts, pluralism and democracy.

Speaking on my behalf, maybe this Jihad or struggle (for Science and the positive changes it brings about), will replace the Jihad of war, conquest and conversion. Maybe other voices of moderation exist in Islam, maybe the Islamic world and the non-Islamic world can co-exist. With temperance for all beliefs and nonbelievers.

The plagiarism and distortion of Christianity

Regardless if you believe in God or not, the recent attempt by a film from Iran to portray Jesus as only a Prophet and not the Son of God, is the latest effort by Islam to usurp Christianity. This film will not disturb agnostics or atheists. But two billion Christians will be concerned and the one billion or more Muslims will be delighted. The film "Jesus, the Spirit of God," by a Shia Muslim, won an award at the 2007 Religion Today Film Festival, in Italy. If this was a movie about Muhammad, there would be rioting in the streets and calls for the death of the people responsible for the film. In addition, according to many followers of Islam, images of the Prophets and Muhammad are not to be displayed. Yet, in this movie, Jesus who is also a Muslim Prophet is displayed throughout the movie. It appears at first to follow the gospels but portrays Jesus as a mortal man, sent by God, as a prophet and who did not die on the cross. So the movie is an out right distortion of Christianity if you believe in the gospels of the New Testament. Passages in the Koran appear to be plagiarisms and distortions of both the Old and New testaments. The Qur’an’s version about Isaac, Ishmael and Abraham is an endeavor to rewrite biblical history and set the foundation for the Prophet Muhammad.

So like a quantum event in Science with infinite possibilities, this new reality was manifested in the seventh century, and all previous happenings in History did not take place. If a person is an agnostic then distorted biblical history is not a concern. But if a large group of people (one billion Muslims) believe in a religious dogma, that belief can be used to unite the masses and literally affect every other human being on the face of the earth. This distorted message in the movie about Jesus is also found in the original teachings of the Koran and is followed by both Sunni and Shia Muslims. Muhammad and his followers needed a religion to unite the tribes of Saudi Arabia so he plagiarized and distorted Christianity and Judaism to give it legitimacy. In his religion he is the last of the prophets. By doing this, he made Christianity and Judaism obsolete. From the onset of Islam, the message has been, that Muhammad is the last of the Prophets and his rendition of the true religion, is to be followed by Jews, Christians and other nonbelievers. The message of the movie, “there is a common bridge between Christianity and Islam”, appears to seek reconciliation but is the ongoing endeavor to replace Christianity with Islam. It is the latest effort by Muslims to convert nonbelievers to Islam.

In the Koran, its primary purpose is the submission of the mind, body, soul of all of mankind. The sole purpose of Islam is to dominate the world. The means of this transformation is by conquest, Jihad, immigration, colonialization, birth rate and indoctrination of the masses by the Imams. The teachings of Muhammad and the Qur’an, teach that Islam is the religion of submission and peace. But the word “peace” really means submission or surrender of the world, to Sharia Law (The law system inspired by the Koran and the Sunna). The word “tolerance” means third-class citizenship, for the people of the book (corrupted Jews and Christians) who are also known as apes and pigs. This demeaning name-calling is found in religious, educational and public dialogue, today throughout the Arab world. In the Islamic world, nonbelievers are Dhimmis and Muslims are not able to convert to other religions under the threat of death. The term “Dhimma” is used for non-Islamic people. So to Muslims, nonbelievers are Dhimmis, third-class citizens who are subject to Sharia Law (the blade is kept sharpened). The Imams, in Islamic schools called madrasi, indoctrinate Muslim youth in this perverted view of reality. Moderate and radical Muslims view the journey to this transformation differently, but in the end the results are the same.

Islam is the most dangerous mind controlling dogma the world is facing today or ever has confronted. Politics and conquest have been removed from Christianity. Christianity no longer uses the sword to convert nonbelievers. Islam on the other hand, is based on conquest and submission. Islam has not adapted to the modern world. It is not a pure religion but a political dogma intertwined with religion. It enforces Sharia Law with the teachings of the Qur’an (Koran). There is no separation of religion and government. You cannot be a devout traditional Muslim without obeying Sharia Law. In this changing world of today, which is becoming more secular, is creating a vacuum that will be filled by Islam.

Jihad

The followers of Islam point to the Crusades as their catalyst for defending their faith (Jihad). Much of the world has been under the threat of Jihad for over fourteen hundred years. In the sixth and seventh centuries, Europe made the final transformation from Roman Empire domination to the spreading of Christianity across the rest of Europe. The Western Roman Empire was reduced to the remaining Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire (Constantinople), modern day Istanbul Turkey. Muhammad, the founder of Islam was born in the sixth century. As Christianity was taking hold in Europe, Islam started its encroachment into Europe. For over 800 years Islam occupied many parts of Europe. In the eighth century, Moorish Muslims swept into the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). In Spain, Islam was finally repulsed in the fifteenth century. It was only in 1683, the final siege of Vienna, that spelled the decline of the Turkish Ottoman (Muslim) Empire in Europe. The West has nothing to apologize for, when it comes to Islam and the Crusades. The Muslims had captured Jerusalem in 1076. If the Muslims had not occupied the Christian Holy Lands, there would have never been any Crusades. The Crusades lasted from 1099 to 1291. The Muslims have used Jihad as an excuse for world domination since its inception. Islam preaches peace but rules by the sword. Christianity once ruled by the sword, but that day has passed. Islam has not nor will it ever give up the sword.

One percent of one billion is ten million. Ten million radicalized Muslims. But from where do they recruit those ten million zealots. They are recruited from all walks of Islam. A large number are enlisted from the oppressed. But a number are also recruited from the middle classes. So if 10 out of 1000 (100 out of 10,000) are Jihadists, how many of the other Muslims are sympatric or would offer support? So 1,000 out of 100,000 or 10,000 out of 1,000,000 or about fifty thousand or more potential Jihadists here in the United States? If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, the zealots would not stop. As long as there are nonbelievers there will be zealots. Until the world is converted to Islam, there will be Islamic zealots. Only when the world is an Islamic state, an Islamic state that follows the beliefs of the Jihadist, will there be peace. Islam means peace but only when we are all under the sword of Muhammad. Like a festering sore that never completely goes away, radical Islam will always be just behind the curtains of the stage, ready to replace the Fat Lady.

Sayyid Qutb an Egyptian is best known in the Muslim world. He wrote Ma'alim fi al-Tariq (1964) a call to action, to re-create a Qur’anic Muslim world. It is believed that his book is a manifesto used by the Jihadists. Sayyid Qutb came to the United States four years after WWII (1949) and studied at a small college in a northern Colorado. At the time, he was exposed to what would be considered a conservative life style (where alcohol was illegal), by today’s standards. Yet he was repulsed by the decadent ways of the West. So he went back to Egypt and wrote his manifesto, a foundation for today’s al Qaeda and other radical Islamic movements. To summarize, it is our non-Muslim lifestyle that is the justification for Islamic Jihadist world domination.

Representative Government and the bus driver, after 9/11

The more things are different, the more they are the same. Events like 9/11 and December 7th, 1941 have impacted this country. However, as the psyche of this country changes over time, it appears we collectively, are willing to forget history. History is cyclic and if we don't learn from our past mistakes, then we will see more 9/11s. Our politicians appear to have their own agendas and are not looking out for the rest of us. Islamic Terrorism and Illegal Immigration are interconnected. The security of this nation is dependent on sound policies for both these issues. Our politicians are willing to look the other way, as they play their parts, in the culture of "politics as usual".

A plug nickel has two sides. It has an imaginary head's side and an imaginary tail's side. If you toss the plug into the air you will have a 50:50 chance of, either heads or tails, when it lands. It can also be viewed as having a left side and a right side. One side is the Politically Correct side and the other side is the Money side. The plug nickel is what it is, a plug nickel (worthless). Whatever political party is in charge is a gamble. In politics, it is politics-as-usual, good ol' boys (and girls) club. If you think things are going to change, when your party (congressmen and women) and candidate for president are elected, think again. Today, both political parties are filled with opportunists. The day has passed when we can send our neighbors to Congress, to represent us.

It is as if we have chartered a bus. The bus is Representative Government and the bus driver is our Representatives. The problem is that the bus driver is drunk, drunk with power. The bus is now out of control and we are racing toward the edge of a precipice. Below is a quagmire of Islamic Terrorism and Illegal Immigration, waiting to swallow us. As we cry out, the bus driver is telling us to shut up and sit down.
