He doesn't respect the American flag either. The second photo reflects the true character of Obama.
IsraelNationalNews.com: Deputy US Attorney General James Cole confirmed on Wednesday the Obama administration was recalling all training materials used by the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam. "I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to reevaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security," Cole told a panel at the George Washington University Law School. The move comes after complaints from Muslim advocacy organizations, including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was identified as a Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas front group in the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terror fundraising trial. CAIR founders Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad were originally officers of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), described by former FBI analyst and US Treasury Department intelligence official Matthew Lewitt as "intimately tied to the most senior Hamas leadership." Both Ahmad and Awad participated in a meeting held in Philadelphia on October 3, 1993, that involved senior leaders of Hamas, the Holy Land Foundation (which was designated in 1995 by Executive Order, and later convicted in court as an organization that had raised millions of dollars for Hamas) and the IAP. According to electronic surveillance of the meeting submitted as evidence in the Holy Land trial by the FBI, "the participants went to great lengths and spent much effort hiding their association with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). Participants at the meeting discussed forming a 'political organization and public relations body' whose Islamic hue is not very conspicuous." In a Wednesday Los Angeles Times op-ed, Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) president Salam al-Marayati threatened the FBI with a total cutoff of cooperation between American Muslims and law enforcement if the agency failed to revise its law enforcement training material. Maintaining the training materials in their current state "will undermine the relationship between law enforcement and the Muslim American community," al-Marayati wrote. Ties between CAIR and MPAC, both of whom have been guests of honor at numerous federal events and symposiums, and Obama administration dinners, are well documented. Both organizations are members of the American Muslim Political Coordination Council, which seek to coordinate political advocacy efforts.
Commentary: I hope this breaking news doesn't circulate throughout the prisons. I can just imagine prisoner's rights groups and groups for the deranged getting together to remove the words MURDERER, PSYCHOPATH and SERIAL KILLER from our psychiatric books, journals and teaching aids, or maybe even our English vocabulary here in the US; after all, we should not offend anyone, right? How dare we call an ISLAMIST TERRORIST an ISLAMIST TERRORIST! I mean, how absurd can we American's get? Shoot fire, I wonder what they are going to replace "Islamic terrorists" with in our history books, referring to the 9/11 attacks and other Islamic terrorism throughout the world. I suppose they will insert instead, "Christian Islamophobes attacked their own hateful selves on 9/11 and had the audacity to try and blame it on the poor, peace-loving Muslims! Oh and, by the way, it is really Christian Islamophobes who cut the heads off of people and go around placing them in the hands of innocent Muslims, just so they can try to bring false indictments against the Muslims' fine, peaceful characters!"
American people, are you not ready yet to get rid of this Muslim terrorist sympathizer in the White House? The Word of God says, "Should your lies make men hold their peace? When you mock, should no man make you ashamed?" Job 11:3 "Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king who will not be admonished" Ecclesiastes 4:13. Isn't the Bible wonderful? God has a word of wisdom for every situation.
* I receive "BREAKING NEWS" updates via email from Fox News, The Washington Post, and several other major news media distributors, but I did not receive one word on this important news from any of them, only from Israel National News. Can you figure? I may have missed the articles, but I thought I looked very carefully for them. I even Googled this topic and didn't find one major American news media outlet with this story! I did find it in Atlas Shrugs and on numerous conservative sites. Please note which sites to surf for REAL news, when you want to find it.

The Guardian: From the Archive October 21, 1948:
"What the Birds Know"
Miami, Florida - The Bird Man told us that there would be a terrible dearth of birds in Florida owing to the catastrophe in September, when hundreds of thousands of birds hurled themselves against the Empire State Building in New York, and whole feathered populations were wiped out.
"They were all on the way south for the season," he said sadly, "so don't take out the bird houses or build cafeterias in the trees. There will be far fewer occupants. An awful thing, all those warblers and ovenbirds, from all over the North-eastern United States and from Canada, hurling themselves against the tallest building in the world."
"What made them do it," we asked him, for the Bird Man is a philosopher, as well as an ornithologist. His obsession is birds, just as some people down here in Florida pursue tree snails, sea shells, orchids, or Seminole Indians. There was no theory to account for such a tragedy, he told us. The scientists were baffled, particularly as the same thing occurred simultaneously on the same morning in cities all the way from Boston to Nashville. It was just as though the bird world all over America had suddenly grown tired of living and had decided on complete mass suicide.
"We might lay it down to fog or atmospheric pressure," he continued, and his voice trailed off into the murmur. "Of course, there are always superstitions among the Indians and other primitive peoples..."
"Perhaps they were dazzled by too much light," contributed my husband; "they might have crashed into the Empire State Building just as they so often batter themselves against lighthouses all along the Atlantic Coast."
"There couldn't have been fog in all those cities at once," I pointed out, "in Nashville and San Antonio and Philadelphia for instance. Birds have been avoiding the great buildings for generations. One of the first things their mothers must have taught them is what they learned from their own mothers: 'Watch out for tall buildings when you are flying,' just as we tell our children to watch out for traffic."
"Thousands of them must have been on their way south," said the Bird Man, "to warmer climates, perhaps to the mahogany forests of Yucatan or the silk cottons of the Bahamas. They asked nothing of life, they were bothering nobody. It was not necessary to even give them transportation, for they furnished their own. All they wanted was to spend the summer where they could see the sun. A natural wish, surely peculiar to human beings, as well to birds. Why should they be punished for it?"
Commentary: I glanced at this old archive regarding the bird deaths, and went on to locate current articles about animal deaths for this post. Later, remembering it was an old archive, I thought I should go back to the article to see if it was written anywhere near the time Israel became a nation, marking not only the soon return of the Messiah, but also the indignation of God preceding His return, according to Ezekiel chapters 37 and 38. The other prophets also foretold of things that would happen before the Lord's return, "The land will mourn and everyone that dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven; yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3. The return of God's people to the nation Israel marked the last generation before the return of Yeshua ha-mashiach (Jesus the Messiah). It is no surprise to me that hundreds of thousands of birds committed suicide in 1948, in various parts of the world, and now the same thing is happening. I truly believe they are two indicators, one marking the beginning of the end of the age, and the other, the end of the age. God is patient and longsuffering, not willing that anyone should perish (2 Peter 3:9), so He allows the warning signs, as a signal that we should be spiritually prepared. Are you prepared for the coming of the Lord? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this site. God bless you.

Thousands of dead birds on Georgian Bay, Canada. Calgary.ctv.ca: The Ministry of Natural Resources is investigating after hundreds of birds and fish washed up on the shores of Georgian Bay near Wasaga Beach, Canada. Police say that the wildlife is scattered along a nearby three kilometer stretch north of Wasaga Beach. "You just want to cry" resident Faye Ego told CTV Toronto. Locals said they noticed some dead fish on the beach a few weeks ago and a few dead birds earlier in September. "But now this is just multiplied," Ego said, adding that the situation is "absolutely devastating." Ontario Provincial Police Constable Peter Leone said that the number of dead birds is estimated to be between 5,000 - 6,000. Cindy Parkin, a resident of the area, said that answers are needed. "I'd like to get it cleaned up and figure out what it is too," Parkin said. "It's pretty scary." Ministry of Natural Resources officials said that the deaths could be the result of botulism. Botulism thrives in low oxygen environments often found in zebra mussel colonies. The Ministry said that more testing needs to be done.
Commentary: Whatever the many reasons are for the mass bird an fish deaths since last year, the Word of God tells us thousands of years ago that this would happen in these last days, before the coming of the Lord, "The land will mourn and everyone that dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven, and the fishes of the will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.

Thousands of fish dead in Wabash River, Illinois.
CourierPress.com (exerpts): Carmi, IL - Officials with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois EPA are investigating the source of a major fish kill along the Little Wabash River in White County. Local sportsman Jack Emery of rural Carmi said he first started hearing about dead fish appearing in Little Wabash a few weeks ago. However, in the past few days, the number of dead fish has exploded into thousands. Witnesses are reporting dead fish floating in the Little Wabash from the Interstate 64 bridge downstream to the possum bridge south of Carmi. The stretch of river where the kill has been noticed is around 30 miles. Dead fish were also noted above and below the dam at Carmi. Emery said that all species of fish are being found dead. The kill does not appear to affect just fish with scales. Catfish are also being found dead. Maggie Carson, spokesperson for the Illinois EPA said this morning she is consulting with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources about the incident.
Commentary: There are numerous scriptures in the Bible which foretell of these catastrophic events that will plague the earth before the coming of Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah: "The fishers will mourn and everyone who casts angles into the brooks will lament and those who spread nets on the waters will languish" Isaiah 19:8. "The land will mourn and everyone who dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven, and the fishes will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3. We are living in the very last days, before the coming of the Lord. These things will not wane, but they will, in fact, continue to worsen, until He returns to set up His kingdom and establish peace in the earth. Are you saved and prepared to meet your Maker? If not, I would like to invite you to the How Can I Be Saved page of this site. There is peace and comfort in knowing your Savior.

Texas is a prosperous state and a good example of what Perry proposes for the nation.
The Washington Post (excerpts): Perry's economic plan would slash taxes and federal spending
Gray Court, SC - Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has released an economic plan full of long-held conservative goals, including personal accounts for Social Security, an optional flat tax, major spending cuts and a series of tax cuts. The plan would dramatically reduce taxes, particularly on wealthy Americans and corporations. It would reduce the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent, eliminate taxes on individuals and many capital gains and essentially cap individual tax rates at 20 percent. Perry argues these tax cuts will spur economic growth by creating a more favorable environment for wealthy individuals and corporations to start or expand their businesses; but without significant spending reductions, the tax cuts could drastically increase the federal budget deficit.
"Taxes will be cut across all income groups in America and the net benefit will be more money in American's pockets, with greater investment in the private economy," Perry said. The "Cut, Balance and Grow" plan, which Perry first unveiled Tuesday in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, puts Perry firmly to the political right of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in terms of economic policy. Perry is clearly looking to woo tea party conservatives who have been reluctant to back Romney. In almost every way, he presents policies that are slightly more conservative than those of the former Massachusetts governor. Romney has called for capping federal government spending at 20 percent of GDP. For example, the Texas governor proposes capping at 18 percent. (This year, under President Obama, spending is at 24 percent of GDP). Romney has proposed raising the retirement age to reform Social Security. Perry adopts an idea even more beloved by conservatives and hated by liberals: allowing young people to put their money into private savings accounts outside the traditional retirement system. Romney would cut corporate taxes to 25 percent; Perry to 20. Although, Romney has said one of his goals is a "flatter" American tax code; under Perry's plan, American's could either choose to pay taxes under the current system, or pay a 20 percent national flat tax.
Conservative activists have long called for the adoption of a flat tax. Overall, Perry's vision would call for much larger tax cuts and spending cuts than Romney's proposals. It creates an even larger divide between him and Obama. If enacted, Perry's plan would probably result in huge cuts to domestic spending programs and major tax cuts.
Commentary: The article above doesn't focus enough on the enormous positive economic impact Rick Perry's proposals would have on the US. Yes, the major tax cuts would give the wealthy a break, but the much greater benefit would be that it would not only give lower wage earners a break as well, but it would help keep more jobs in the US, instead of the steady steam of corporations moving out of the US to avoid heavy taxation. Earlier in the article, the writer focuses on a potential increase in the deficit, if spending isn't cut; but Perry's economic proposals do include spending cuts to outweigh that possibility. Rick Perry not only presents conservative spending and tax cuts, but most importantly, he is a man who openly fears God, and there can't be enough emphasis placed on that attribute in Rick Perry. God bless him! The Word of God says, "Fear the Lord, saints of God, because there is no want (lack of anything) for those who fear Him" Psalm 34:9. Texas is one of the most prosperous states in the nation; is there any wonder?

MailOnline (excerpts): The Obama administration is considering whether scientists should inject healthy children with the anthrax vaccine to see if it would protect them from a bioterrorism attack. A working group of federal advisers endorsed testing last month and the National Biodefense Science Board (NBSB) will meet on Friday to vote on its recommendation. But critics have called the plans unethical, unnecessary and dangerous, and children should only be vaccinated in the face of an actual threat. Daniel B. Fagbuyiof, of the Children's National Medicine Center in Washington, told the Washington Post, "At the end of the day, do we want to wait for an attack and give it it millions and millions of children and collect data at that time? Or do we want to say, How do we best protect our children? We can take care of grandma and grandpa, uncle and auntie; but right now we have nothing for the children."
Joel Frader, a pediatrician and bioethicist at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine told the Post, "It would be difficult to justify testing it on kids simply on the hypothetical possibility that there might be an attack." Anthrax is an infection caused by a bacteria which is relatively easy to produce and distribute. In 1998, the Pentagon began an anthrax immunization program in the military, but it was halted over concerns on the vaccine's safety. Personnel currently assigned to bioterrorism activities, including defense, are required to have anthrax vaccines, as well as those deployed for 15 days or more in the Middle East and South Korea. The federal government has spent 1.1 billion to stockpile the anthrax in case of an attack. If the NBSB approves the testing, the FDA, National Institutes of Health and other agencies will meet to work out how many children would be studied, at what age and what dose.
Commentary: I don't think I need to write a book here. I'm just going to say that, if the Pentagon halted anthrax immunizations because of SAFETY CONCERNS, why would anyone suggest giving it unnecessarily to children in the US? I wonder whose children they are planning to test this vaccine on. It seems to me they could only begin with children taken into custody by governmental children's services agencies and government run orphanages; because parents throughout the US would most likely would absolutely put their foot down. It seems the children of the poor and displaced are in line for more suffering once again, if this plan is approved. I don't think Obama will vaccinate his two girls and wait to see if anything bad happens to them first! Or, how about only including the children of the Obama administration employees? I think not. The Bible says, "He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the poor" Proverbs 13:41.

Herman Cain rose up out of nowhere (you might think), and he is extremely popular among the GOP candidates, second only to Mitt Romney, according to the polls. I liked him very much and I heard a great speech by Cain, but was suddenly taken aback when I heard him say, "We don't need to audit the Federal Reserve Bank." I thought, "Uh oh, something's wrong here; I have to do some research..."
I Googled his employment background and found that he chaired the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City. He was suddenly not an option, not worth the risk! If you don't understand why his relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank cuts him out - in my book, you need to be aware of some very important facts below:
What is the Federal Reserve and What Do They Do? The Federal Reserve Bank is NOT run by the government of the United States. They are no more a part of the federal government than the Federal Express mail service. The Federal Reserve Bank is a privately owned corporation owned by a secret group of international bankers. They are a cartel which monopolizes and controls the US economy; they profiteer off of the federal tax revenues of the US citizens, and oh how they profit! President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913, giving the Federal Reserve bankers the power to print money, then sell it to the US government, charging billions of dollars of interest on the monies they loan to the US! Prior to this, the US Treasury printed its own money, interest free! The same year, a new federal law was implemented to impose federal income tax on US citizens. This income tax was necessary, so the government could give your and my tax dollars to the private bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank, for interest on the money they print for us. (I have wondered how much money they paid Woodrow Wilson to give them control over the peoples of the US.)
The last and only president to challenge and, in fact, sign an executive order to rid us of the Federal Reserve Bank was John F Kennedy; of course, you know what happened to him. He signed executive order 11110 on June 4, 1963, to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its authority to print US dollars and sell it back to the US, with interest. The order authorized the Treasury Department to begin printing and circulating silver certificates, without going through the Federal Reserve. The goal was to circulate enough silver certificates to eliminate any demand for the Federal Reserve notes, thereby eliminating the Federal Reserve Bank. Only five months after President Kennedy signed executive order 11110, he was assassinated! Once Lyndon B Johnson took control of the US administration after Kennedy's assassination, printing of the silver certificates stopped abruptly. I don't think I need to spell it out any further; you get the picture.
Virtually all of the more than 14 trillion dollars in US debt has accumulated because of the astronomical amount of money paid to the Federal Reserve bankers for interest on the money they print and loan to the US citizens (money printed out of thin air - nothing backs the Federal Reserve notes printed by the Federal Reserve Bank). With our economy in such a mess, so much unemployment, people losing their businesses, homes, even their cars, it is a national tragedy that we live under the oppression of the Federal Reserve bankers! Can you imagine how much better off the citizens of the US would be without having to pay billions to the Federal Reserve? The Word of God says, "You have taken usury and increase and you have greedily gained from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, saith the Lord God" Ezekiel 22:12. "He has given with usury and has taken increase; should he then live? He will not live; he has done all these abominations; he will surely die and his blood will be upon him" Ezekiel 18:3. The prophet Ezekiel is referring to the spiritual death of these greedy, treacherous people. God will, in the end, execute judgment upon the people who do such things.

Okay, here we have a terrorist, with his familiar mask on, a Qu'ran, and a pistol - ready to rule by Sharia law now! IsraelToday.com: The "Arab Spring" was predictably hailed by naive Western leaders as a positive development that would finally bring true Western style democratic freedom to the masses of the Middle East; but more than one analyst, including top Israeli officials, have warned that the Arab Spring is about to give birth to the Islamic Winter. Tunisia was the first country in the Arab Spring to oust its long-time dictator. On Sunday, the north African nation held its first free election since the uprising. Voter turnout was massive at 90%. The results surprised many in the West, but they shouldn't have. By Monday afternoon, with many of the votes counted, Tunisia's Ennahda Party was projected to take control of the parliament with a healthy majority. Ennahda is labeled by Western media as a "moderate" Islamic group, but the description is misleading. Ennahda supported Iran's takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and called for attacks on US targets during the Gulf War. Furthermore, Ennahda's ideology is based on that of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks to impose Islamic law on the whole world. It will start with Tunisia. Ennahda leader Rachid Ghannouchi announced recently that if his group won Tunisia's election, it would impose what he called "moderate" Sharia law on what until now was one of the world's most progressive nations. A similar phenomenon is happening in Libya, whose liberation from the rule of Col. Muammar Gaddafi was so widely celebrated this week. Post Gaddafi Libya will have Sharia law as the "basic source" of its civil laws, declared interim leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil on Sunday. Already Abdul-Jalil has altered several Libyan laws that did not line up with Sharia, such as banning local banks from charging interest and making it legal to again practice polygamy. Abdul-Jalil urged his countrymen to celebrate their newfound "freedom" by shouting "Allahu Akbar," or "Allah is great." Egypt has yet to hold elections since ousting former dictator Hosni Mubarak, but all estimates are that the Muslim Brotherhood will either win an outright majority in the parliament, or hold such a large block that any future government will be beholden to it. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is the grandfather of all extremist Islamic groups in the region and the direct progenitor of organizations such as Hamas. Islamists have also been consolidating power in Turkey and Lebanon, though did not require civil uprisings to accomplish their goals there.
As General Eyal Eisenberg, head of Israel's Home Front Command, warned months ago, the Middle East that is resulting from the Arab Spring will be a haven for radical Islam that increases the likelihood of all out war, a war that Eisenberg said "might even involve weapons of mass destruction." With the Middle East under its former dictatorships, analysts were largely correct in surmising that weapons of mass destruction would never have been used against Israel on a large scale, as those ruling regimes had a long-term interest in maintaining the status quo; but the radical powers taking over in many nations do not share that concern and are far more driven by messianic ideologies that compel them to destroy Israel in order to usher in a new Islamic golden age.
Commentary: First, there is no way in the world the Western leaders didn't know this was going to happen, no way. Too many insiders on the "right side of the fence" warned Western leaders of what was to come. Besides that, nothing happens in the world, but what it is planned by the "elite" powers that be, otherwise such uprisings are snuffed out immediately. The G8 leaders financed 80 billion dollars to this thing (cnsnews.com) and don't be naive enough to think they didn't know where they were putting their 80 BILLION - that just doesn't happen! By the way, Obama pledged 2 BILLION of our bankrupt nation's tax revenues to the "cut throats" - I mean that literally. Don't let there be a single doubt in your mind about Obama. While this nation is languishing, Obama sent troops and drones to the tune of 255 million a day (actually that's only what is spent on Iraq and doesn't include the daily gush of US dollars for Arab Spring), while the poor are getting poorer in the US. President Obama was so fanatically adamant about meeting his personal objectives in the Middle East, he side-stepped Congress to help bring about the Arab Spring.
Muslims are all about conquest, financial gain and sex; and I shouldn't forget to mention the MAYHEM! Islam is very popular, and has been since Mohammad went on his first conquest to plunder and massacre a Jewish village, because the men could take women captives as sex slaves, have multiple wives and the "brotherhood" does not charge interest. If you didn't know the one and only true God, wouldn't that be enticing to sinful man?
I imagine you are wondering about now, How in the world, after 9/11, can the US tolerate and even support such obviously irrational, blood-thirsty people? I believe you are thinking, "Why aren't we, and everyone else in the world, stopping them! I will tell you why. The Bible says, "Because they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient" Romans 1:28. "For this reason, God will send them strong delusion, so they will believe a lie" 2 Thessalonians 2:11. The only rulers in the world that have a rational mind to do the right things are those rulers who have faith in God and live by His laws; the others can't think straight. These events are no surprise to those who know Bible prophecy, because the Word of God foretells all of this, very accurately; in fact, this is God's doing. "I (God) will set the Egyptians against Egyptians and they will fight every one against his brother and every one against his neighbor; city against city, kingdom against kingdom" Isaiah 19:2. Jesus said these things would be one of the signs of his return, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7. Are you ready for the Lord's return? If not, I would like to invite you to the How Can I Be Saved page of this site. God bless you.

Here, here, any damnable heresy you want, just don't kill me.
YnetNews.com (excerpts): It has been five years since his controversial lecture about Islam at the German University of Regensburg. On September 12, 2006, Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) claimed that the god of the Muslims is both transcendental and unreasonable and he severely condemned jihad and the use of violence in the name of the Koran. It was the only public event during which a Pope told the truth about some aspects of the Islamic religion. Benedict XVI made himself a central player in the post-9/11 era. His speech against the link between religion and violence, typical of Islam today, was not a mistake or a false step, as some observers wrote at the time; it was rather a vigorous attack against certain aspects of Islamic fanaticism. The reaction to the Pope's speech was a familiar spectacle: threats, riots and violence. From the religious leaders in Muslim majority countries to the New York Times, all demanded the Pope's apologies. In the Palestinian areas, churches were attacked and Christians targeted. In the Somali capital, Mogadishu, an Italian nun was executed. In Iraq, Amer Iskander, a Syrian Orthodox priest, was beheaded and his arms mutilated. In Islamic forums, Ratzinger was depicted like Dracula. He received many death threats, "slaughter him," "pig servant of the cross," "odious evil," "Allah curse him," "vampire who sucks blood," and so on. The highest Islamic representative in Turkey, Ali Bardakoglu, declared that Ratzinger's speech was "full of enmity and hatred." The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood pledged "reactions worse than those against the Danish cartoons." Iran's supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the Pope of being part of the "conspiracy of the Crusaders." Under pressure and aiming to stop any further violence, the Pope apologized.
Benedict XVI recently visited again his native Germany, but this time with a different agenda. Five years later, the Vatican adopted a pro-Islam course and has capitulated to fundamentalists. In a recent book written by German journalist Peter Sewald, Pope Ratzinger expressed "regrets about the Regenzburg lecture." The Vatican's new agenda seeks to reach political accommodations with Islamic states and foreswear forceful public condemnation of Islamist and jihadist ideology.
Appeasement Agenda: After Regensburg, the Vatican adopted an appeasement agenda. Indeed, dialogue with Iran's mullahs is pivotal in the new Vatican agenda. Recently, a delegation of clergy members of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly visited the Vatican, meeting with top Catholic officials. Last autumn, Vatican representatives met with Muslim leaders from around the world in Tehran for a three day "interreligious dialogue." In Tehran, Cardinal Tauran praised Iran's "spirit of cordiality" and "the friendly Ahmadinejad." Last month, the Vatican published a letter written by Tauran addressing his "Dear Muslim friends." In the letter, Tauran asked for Islamic help to form an alliance against atheism.
Commentary: That's right, send a clear message that one will cower every time the decapitations and mutilations begin, that everyone will "bow down" to Islam! In this "politically correct" world we live in today, it is forbidden to tell the truth, and is rather acceptable and promoted that one should, "if necessary," lie like the devil and even condemn the truth in order to appease violent maniacs. The fact of the matter is, to be politically correct is to be Biblically and spiritually corrupt! On the other hand, Youcef Nadarkhani, the Christian pastor sitting on Iran's death row for "apostasy," is emphatic that he will not recant his faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, even if it costs him his life - the difference between a true follower of Christ and a real apostate. The Bible says, "The Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter days, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils" 1 Timothy 4:1. Two prominent figures will arise in these last days: the Antichrist and the false prophet. "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (Satan), out of the mouth of the beast (Antichrist) and out of the mouth of the false prophet (last days prominent religious leader)" Revelation 16:13. Even Muslims have been quoted as saying that the description of the Antichrist of the Bible fits the Qu'ran's description of the Mahdi (Muslims' messiah) to come, so that leaves the identity of the false prophet. Take one guess as to who that might be.
