Frankly, I don’t know how this guy can sleep at night.

Some people read End Times prophecy and think that it’s all superstition… those same people look to the stories of the prophets (peace be upon them) as myth…

Well, were you to look at the ahadeeth that describe the qualites of al-Masih ad-Dajjal (The False Messiah or AntiChrist), you would find many amazing attributes, qualities, abilities, and powers. And some of the AntiChrist’s powers described in the ahadeeth may be hard for some to believe.

But, if you wonder how in the world ad-Dajjal could possibly have such control over the world’s food supply, watch this video.

Now, the point of this video is not to warn you of End Times prophecy… but I urge you to watch it with that in the back of your mind. First, though, I think you should watch it for your own safety when it comes to what you eat. My wife and I just decided to go all organic… it just might be worth the money.

Evangelical pastors are helping to create a terrible new campaign of violence against young Nigerians. Children and babies branded as evil are being abused, abandoned and even murdered while the preachers make money out of the fear of their parents and their communities.

Here’s the link:

Driving through the town of Esit Eket, the rust-streaked signs, tarpaulins hung between trees and posters on boulders, advertise a church for every third or fourth house along the road. Such names as New Testament Assembly, Church of God Mission, Mount Zion Gospel, Glory of God, Brotherhood of the Cross, Redeemed, Apostalistic. Behind the smartly painted doors pastors make a living by ‘deliverances’ – exorcisms – for people beset by witchcraft, something seen to cause anything from divorce, disease, accidents or job losses. With so many churches it’s a competitive market, but by local standards a lucrative one

Here’s a link to a graphic video about the torture and burning of Nigerian children:

In the “Videos” section above, you can see this series of videos of US Veterans opposing the Iraq War. Here’s the link…

As Iran comes into focus again, it may be time to revisit the Zionist lobby’s role in US Foreign policy. Check out this video from DemocracyNow.org…

“In the study ‘The Israel Lobby & U.S. Foreign Policy’, the authors of the paper, Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard University and John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, charge that the United States has willingly set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of Israel. In addition the study accuses the pro-Israeli lobby, particularly AIPAC of manipulating the U.S. media, policing academia and silencing critics of Israel by labeling them as anti-Semitic.”

Here’s a transcript of the video, if you’re interested:

And here’s a video going over AIPAC’s pressure for war with Iran…

These videos were posted at Palestine Think Tank in an article by Mary Rizzo. Israeli snipers fire on unarmed farmers and internationals. They keep shooting despite mega-phone announcements that they were firing on “unarmed civilians”. See for yourself…

They might claim that they were rubber bullets or something, but they are still high-speed projectile steel balls with a thin covering of rubber. They’re still deadly and the people they are shooting at are unarmed and clearly do not pose a threat. The international peace workers are even wearing fluorescent colors to stand out.

Don’t tell me that these soldiers don’t know what they are firing on.

My electric bill was triple what it was two years ago. Gas prices are almost triple what they were three years ago. Candy bars, milk, education, etc. They’re all higher in price… not because they’re any more valuable today than they were before… not because the companies are greedy… Nope. Our money is worth less.

I have new hope for my country…

I have received several emails about my statement above this video. Yes. I do have new hope for my country. I do.

Does this mean I will agree with every decision the leaders make? No. I certainly will not. And that’s okay. I am not in their position. I am not faced with the same challenges and circumstances that they are. And I should be grateful that I am in an environment where I can disagree, where I can object, where I can speak out… I can go beyond simply doing good… I can object to wrongdoing.

My point in saying that “I have new hope for my country” has more to do with the people… That my fellow Americans could rise above past (hopefully past) prejudices in this election, for me, offers hope.

Do my wife and I still get stares when we go out to dinner? Do people still say some mean things to us in front of the kids? Do people still (assuming that I’m Jewish or Amish) have Muslim-bashing conversations in my presence? Did it break my heart when my daughter came home and asked me, “Abu (Daddy), why do so many people hate Muslims?”

Of course.

But you know what? There is more of the opposite. More people start out ignorant, but later want to know. More people smile at my wife and kids. More people ask where we are from and are amazed when we say, “Right here” – they want to talk more. They genuinely want to learn. They want to understand.

So, yes, I have hope.

…and here’s another reason why…

For every one person that has the ignorance of that woman speaking to McCain, there is one who knows better, and one more who wants to know better.

Allah Subhannahu Wa Ta’ala mentions in a hadeeth Qudsi (the rough meaning of which is…) “If you find something good, then praise Allah. If you find something other than that, then blame no one but yourself.”

Mumbai Suffers a Series of Coordinated Terrorist Attacks

May Allah Subhannahu Wa Ta’alaa protect the innocent, guide the ill-intentioned, and give knowledge to the ignorant. Ameen.

This was published on the DNN site before I moved it over to the new format…

10 locations in Mumbai were simultaneously attacked and scores were killed or injured. Of course, I was not there, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

Assumptions to Avoid

Let’s not rush to judgment… Watching shocking news is more of an emotional experience than an intellectual one. So be careful.

Let’s not forget when a top Indian Army officer was arrested over bomb attack that was blamed on outsiders.

This clip ends abruptly, in mid-thought, when the victim is describing interactions with one of the gunmen. If he was actually interacting with the gunmen, why not hear all of what he has to say? (Does anyone have the full clip? If so, send me the link.)

The pause in his voice as he says, “Islamic… terrorist… I suppose,” can have pretty powerful emotional effects on watchers of the clip. Although, his full sentence was, “He did not look like your typical Islamic terrorist, I suppose.”

And who is this lady (below)? And why is she an expert? It is CNN’s Kelli Arena, but what gives her the qualifications to make all of these speculations?

Some Things That Don’t Make Sense

• Whose cause does this help?
• Is it really possible for a small group of extremists to pull off such a well-orchestrated series of attacks in the financial capital of one of the world’s up-and-coming countries? Or would you need the resources of, say, a foreign nation or an intelligence agency?
• One of the targets was a hospital for women and children. Islam has pretty clear laws regarding war. And women and children are clearly and absolutely off limits. Even livestock and fruit-bearing trees are off limits, so there’s no way that anyone could religiously justify an attack on a hospital for women and children. No way. Personally, I don’t think this was orchestrated by Muslims. Period. (Maybe some ignorant Muslims were duped into carrying it out, but I don’t think they orchestrated it.)
• Were the attackers staying at the Nariman House? If so, who is really behind this?
• Why is it that some of the Indian police were not firing back?

Always Ask: Who Benefits?

It is always ultra-important to step back and ask yourself, “Who benefits?” There will be reports of “Islamic terrorists” and “Muslim extremists” who “hate our freedoms”, who “want to spread violence and bloodshed”, who “hate the West”, who “blah, blah, blah”… C’mon. Do you really think there are people out there that want to just spread destruction on the earth… that just want gore and violence?! I don’t buy it.

But, let’s just say that it’s possible… maybe there are people like that. Well, then, how do they benefit? Is it just spreading chaos? Is that their goal?

Is that where you are going to stop your analysis? Let’s look past the obvious…

• Does the fact that some of the nations of the world object to the US bombings on Pakistani soil have anything to do with it? Does this help justify those attacks?
• Are there any parties or countries or movements that benefit from a portrayal of Islam as evil?
• Does this distract from any other world events?… The passing of important legislation? The recent re-invasion of Gaza? The decline of world economies?
• Are there any nations (outside of the obvious) that would like to slow India’s rise to economic power?
• Does the fact that India announced a partnership with Iran two days earlier have any connection? Who could be upset about that?
• Does anyone remember when a top Indian Army officer was arrested over a bomb attack that was blamed on outsiders?

Look. I don’t understand it. I don’t have the answers. But, I also don’t accept the official version at face value. The news has been wrong before.

May Allah Subhannahu Wa Ta’alaa protect the innocent, guide the ill-intentioned, and give knowledge to the ignorant. Ameen.
