We have not kept up with the Muslim violence in the world. There are so many. We had the Paris attacks last year which killed130 people and 368 were injured in one attack and killed 17 people and wounded 22 in another.

Today, Muslims attacked an airport in Brussels, Belgium, and then a metro station near EU headquarters. Reports indicate at least 30 have died and hundreds wounded. Both France and Belgium have large populations of Muslims that have not been integrated into society. While the Islamic State have taken credit for this terrorism, often the Muslims inflicting the terror are citizens of the countries in which the atrocities occur. This is not just a coincidence. There are forces encouraging the removal of borders in order to remove stability and sovereignty. Some are religious, some are wanting cheap labor, and some want to force equality for all.

On Nov. 4, 2015 Faisal Mohammad, an 18-year-old freshman attacked and injured four people on the  UC Merced campus. This was a Muslim terrorist attack not controlled by ISIS. There are numerous such attacks that are perpetrated by Muslims, not by ISIS. The FBI just concluded their investigation and announced they had evidence it was Islamic terrorism. He had visited Muslim terrorist web sites and had written out a two page "manifesto” detailing an elaborate “script” for the attack. He was shot and killed in the attack.

The young man had written in his manifesto "praise Allah".  It was his intention to behead and shoot his victims. He mentioned wanting to kill policemen.

Four dead in Muslim attack in Tel Aviv just hours ago.  The two attackers have been captured.

In another Muslim incident, aliens in a German refugee center unhappy they did not get a Ramadan breakfast call, set the center on fire. Here is the BBC story. Interesting the BBC says nothing about arson by the Muslims who received help from Germany. BBC

Here is another perspective:  source

Muslim man murders 50 in Orlando, Florida, USA.  "Omar" entered a homosexual club and began slaughtering those in the building. Many have been wounded and have been transported to local hospitals. One law enforcement officer was wounded. This is the largest mass killing in America. God is allowing the winds to blow. As it has been in the past, so it is today. America having turned its back on God is reaping what she has sown. Sin is allowed to punish sin.

How soon will el presidente call for more gun control?  That's his usual response to tragedies such as this. 

Has he used the term "radical Islam" or "Islamic terrorism" yet?  He can't seem to bring himself to face reality.
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants:  we have done that which was our duty to do.  Luke 17:10

Calling Terrorists Crazy?

[Excerpts]

A Muslim terrorist stabbed four people at a train station near Munich while screaming, “Allahu Akbar”. In between proclaiming the glory of Allah, he also shouted that his victims were all “unbelievers”. A woman heard him say, “Infidel, you must die”. The German authorities came to the inescapable conclusion that the attack had nothing to do with Islam. Instead the Muslim terrorist had been “mentally ill” and was probably not even fit to stand trial. The Koran wasn’t to blame. It was the fault of his psychological problems.

[The week of May 1] the FBI busted James Muhammad who had been plotting to shoot up a Florida synagogue for the “glory of Allah”. Muhammad explained that he wanted to murder the men, women and children praying at the synagogue because, “I have a lot of love for Allah”. Not only did this minor story receive only a fraction of the attention devoted to the truly important news that a Muslim teenage girl had Isis written in her High School yearbook, but Muhammad’s lawyer insisted at a bail hearing that he isn’t a terrorist, just suffering from mental problems.

Much like Ahmed Ferhani, who plotted to bomb a New York synagogue a few years ago to, in his own words, “send a message of intimidation and coercion to the Jewish population of New York City." Ferhani however wasn’t just a racist terrorist, he’s also a cause célèbre for  The Nation which five years later continues to advocate on behalf of an aspiring anti-Semitic mass murderer. The latest report from the left-wing magazine breathlessly informs readers that prison guards are being mean to poor Ahmed and that he never really meant to kill any Jews, but was entrapped due to his “psychiatric problems”.

Muhammad and Ferhani join Shahawar Matin Siraj who was convicted of plotting to bomb the Herald Square subway station in New York. Siraj was an illegal alien who worked at a Muslim bookstore and boasted, “I want at least 1,000 to 2,000 to die in one day.” His family and defenders claimed he had a low IQ. His co-defendant, James Elshafay, suffered from, you guessed it, psychological problems.

Matthew Aaron Llaneza converted to Islam and tried to blow up a bank in Oakland. His defenders blamed mental problems. Muslim ISIS supporter Emanuel Lutchman plotted a machete attack in Rochester [in 2015]. Despite his contacts with ISIS, the culprit once again was mental illness.

Even when Muslim terrorists don’t claim mental illness, the media is happy to plead it for them.

When Nidal Malik Hasan murdered 13 Americans in the Fort Hood Massacre,  Time  and the  New York Times suggested that he had somehow contracted PTSD from treating soldiers.  In fact Hasan was a Muslim terrorist. No media outlet would stop claiming that he had PTSD long enough to read his letters in which he explained that he was a Jihadist, supported ISIS and killed American soldiers “for the greater cause of helping my Muslim brothers”  and defending the “Islamic Empire”.

The defense for the surviving Tsarnaev terrorist who had carried out the Boston Marathon bombing went one better by blaming the “severe psychiatric disorders” of his parents. The  Boston Globe , had interviewed psychologists to determine what possible “mental health conditions” he might have had.

Any mental condition will do when it comes to Muslim terrorists.

And the media never leaves any exculpatory stone unturned when it comes to finding a crazy excuse for a Muslim terrorist. The  Los Angeles Times tried to find excuses for Syed Rizwan Farook, the San Bernardino Muslim killer, by claiming that he had grown up in a home “racked by mental illness”....Misattributing Muslim terrorism to madness is convenient, but meaningless. It’s a way for us to avoid dealing with the difficult questions posed by Islam...

(Daniel Greenfield, "All Muslim Terrorists are Crazy," FrontPageMag Online, May 11, 2016)

Muslim terrorists attacked Ataturk Airport in Istanbul (Constantinople) this week. 36 were killed and over a hundred were wounded by ISIS butchers. The world continues to suffer as Muslim terrorists continue their religious jihad to conquer the world. abibleanswer.org

Again, a Muslim murdered 84 last night in Nice, France. Many more seriously injured as he used a truck to mow down men, women, and children who were celebrating France's national day. It is interesting to listen to so many talk in a manner that reveals an apostate world is soon to come to its demise. The world is as it was just before the world-wide flood.

Why is France at the point of Muslim violence? When we study the first and second woe in Revelation, we find Islam attacking Eastern Rome until they finally conquer the apostate religion and Constantinople falls. Today, it is called not Constantinople, but Istanbul. Turkey was the home of the Ottoman Empire which brought their violence to an apostate Europe long before they conquered Eastern Rome. Islamic violence against Europe allowed the Protestant Reformation to succeed as the Vatican's army was directed against the Muslims instead of the reformers.

France has a history of rejecting Bible morality. That history continues and is joined by much of Europe. France has a large Muslim population and has continued to bring into the country more Muslims, many who follow Shariah law. They have allowed Muslims to exist France to visit Muslims countries that are hot-spots for training Muslim terrorists. They then are allowed to re-enter France. It comes as no surprise even to those who do not recognize Bible truth that France is at the point of Islamic terrorism. It will not end any time soon, but will spread to other European countries and continue in Africa, the Middle-east, and America. God is allowing the winds to blow upon apostate countries. Who will deny America has fallen from grace. The president of the United States makes the Russian leader, Putin look like a saint.

For all Seventh Day Adventists, Christians of The Book, Jews, Roman Christians, Muslims, other faiths

It has been said that of all religions - 1/3 seek God and would not hurt anyone, 1/3 go where ever the tide of opinion goes, the last 1/3 use religion as a shield covering their desires and lust for violence; and the second third will side with the last third when ever around.  God has to rescue the first third who seek Him in the best they understand and help and bless others the best they know, from the second and last third.

ISSA - Jesus Christ - has decreed as Messiah, Judge, Intercessor,

Job 36:12  But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

Matthew 26:52  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Muhammad Sarwar- al-Imran 3:48 God will give (Jesus) wisdom and teach him the Book, the Torah, and the Gospel.

Muhsin Khan & Muhammad al-Hilali       And He (Allah) will teach him (Iesa (Jesus)) the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).


The Apostle John one of the writers of the Gospels - by whom was taught by sinless Iesa as one of His disciples and chosen Apostles, that it is written that the Most High God ( Allah ) taught Iesa ( Jesus the sinless Messiah/Word of God/Judge/Intercessor - the Gospels); this same John the Gospel writer - writes this RE self proclaimed jihadists.

Why would The Most High God pass this teaching onward down to men if it was not true ?   
 
1 John 3:15  Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Iesa Himself said this : in red   He also tested the ruler with the question " Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God"   to ask him who he thought Iesa really was - The Word of God or mere man.

Matthew 19: 16 ¶  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,[/b]
19  Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

No one can commit jihad and obey The Most High God's Ten Commandments.

How a person educates their mind is how they look at life and even God.
 
Quote
"True education does not ignore the value of scientific knowledge or literary acquirements; but above information it values power; above power, goodness; above intellectual acquirements, character. The world does not so much need men of great intellect as of noble character. It needs men in whom ability is controlled by steadfast principle.  {Ed 225.1} 

     "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom." "The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright." Proverbs 4:7; 15:2. True education imparts this wisdom. It teaches the best use not only of one but of all our powers and acquirements. Thus it covers the whole circle of obligation--to ourselves, to the world, and to God.  {Ed 225.2}

     Character building is the most important work ever entrusted to human beings; and never before was its diligent study so important as now. Never was any previous generation called to meet issues so momentous; never before were young men and young women confronted by perils so great as confront them today.  {Ed 225.3} 

     At such a time as this, what is the trend of the education given? To what motive is appeal most often made? To self-seeking. Much of the education given is a perversion of the name. In true education the selfish ambition, the greed for power, the disregard for the rights and needs of humanity, that are the curse of our world, find a counterinfluence. God's plan of life has a place for every human being. Each is to improve his talents to the utmost; and faithfulness in doing this, be the gifts few or many, entitles one to honor. In God's plan there is no place for selfish rivalry. Those who measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves among themselves, are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12. Whatever we do is to be done "as of the ability which God giveth." 1 Peter 4:11. It is to be done "heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:23, 24. Precious the service done and the education gained in carrying out these principles. But how widely different is much of the education now given! From the child's earliest years it is an appeal to emulation and rivalry; it fosters selfishness, the root of all evil.  {Ed 225.4} 

     Thus is created strife for supremacy; and there is encouraged the system of "cramming," which in so many cases destroys health and unfits for usefulness. In many others, emulation leads to dishonesty; and by fostering ambition and discontent, it embitters the life and helps to fill the world with those restless, turbulent spirits that are a continual menace to society.  {Ed 226.1} 

     Nor does danger pertain to methods only. It is found also in the subject matter of the studies.  {Ed 226.2} 

     What are the works on which, throughout the most susceptible years of life, the minds of the youth are led to dwell? In the study of language and literature, from what fountains are the youth taught to drink?--From the wells of paganism; from springs fed by the corruptions of ancient heathendom. They are bidden to study authors, of whom, without dispute, it is declared that they have no regard for the principles of morality.  {Ed 226.3} 

     And of how many modern authors also might the same be said! With how many are grace and beauty of language but a disguise for principles that in their real deformity would repel the reader!  {Ed 227.1} 

     Besides these there is a multitude of fiction writers, luring to pleasant dreams in palaces of ease. These writers may not be open to the charge of immorality, yet their work is no less really fraught with evil. It is robbing thousands upon thousands of the time and energy and self-discipline demanded by the stern problems of life.  {Ed 227.2} 

     In the study of science, as generally pursued, there are dangers equally great. Evolution and its kindred errors are taught in schools of every grade, from the kindergarten to the college. Thus the study of science, which should impart a knowledge of God, is so mingled with the speculations and theories of men that it tends to infidelity.  {Ed 227.3} 

     Even Bible study, as too often conducted in the schools, is robbing the world of the priceless treasure of the word of God. The work of "higher criticism," in dissecting, conjecturing, reconstructing, is destroying faith in the Bible as a divine revelation; it is robbing God's word of power to control, uplift, and inspire human lives.  {Ed 227.4} 

     As the youth go out into the world to encounter its allurements to sin,--the passion for money getting, for amusement and indulgence, for display, luxury, and extravagance, the overreaching, fraud, robbery, and ruin,--what are the teachings there to be met?  {Ed 227.5}

     Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that "each mind will judge itself;" that "true knowledge places men above all law;" that "all sins committed are innocent;" for "whatever is, is right," and "God doth not condemn." The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men, "It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home." Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.  {Ed 227.6} 

     With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? what is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom?  {Ed 228.1} 

     At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution--all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.  {Ed 228.2} 

     Such are the influences to be met by the youth of today. To stand amidst such upheavals they are now to lay the foundations of character.  {Ed 228.3} 

     In every generation and in every land the true foundation and pattern for character building have been the same. The divine law, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart; . . . and thy neighbor as thyself" (Luke 10:27), the great principle made manifest in the character and life of our Saviour, is the only secure foundation and the only sure guide.  {Ed 228.4} 

     "The stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge" (Isaiah 33:6, Leeser's translation)--that wisdom and knowledge which God's word alone can impart.  {Ed 229.1} 

     It is as true now as when the words were spoken to Israel of obedience to His commandments: "This is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations." Deuteronomy 4:6.  {Ed 229.2} 

     Here is the only safeguard for individual integrity, for the purity of the home, the well-being of society, or the stability of the nation. Amidst all life's perplexities and dangers and conflicting claims the one safe and sure rule is to do what God says. "The statutes of the Lord are right," and "he that doeth these things shall never be moved." Psalm 19:8; 15:5.  {Ed 229.3}
Grateful for Psalms 32 and Titus 2:10 - The divinity of Christ is acknowledged in the unity of the children of God.  {11MR 266.2}

The French Revolution was all about squashing Christianity and Catholicism. I would think the Muslim would be celebrating right along side with them. Unless behind the scenes they are working for someone else.

I wouldn't be surprised if the French Revolution is still a sore thorn in the papacy's side.

Hezbollah Has More Rockets than 27 NATO Countries Combined [Excerpts]

Any future war between Israel and Hezbollah will take a devastating toll on civilians due to the Iran-backed terrorist group’s practice of embedding its military assets in residential areas, Willy Stern wrote in the June 20 issue of  The Weekly Standard.

Hezbollah currently has a stockpile of over 130,000 rockets, more than the combined arsenal of all NATO countries, with the exception of the United States. This number includes long-range rockets and M-600 ballistic missiles, which carry a high payload and would be able to “wipe out a good chunk of Times Square and maim and kill people four football fields away from the point of impact,” Stern noted. Hezbollah also has approximately 100,000 short-range rockets trained on schools, homes, and hospitals in northern Israel, which could potentially kill hundreds of civilians.

“You don’t collect 130,000 missiles if you don’t intend to use them,” said Matthew Levitt, an expert on counter-terrorism and intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

Hezbollah’s positioning of this weaponry in civilian areas poses a challenge to Israeli officers, added Geoff Corn, an international military law expert at the South Texas College of Law in Houston. “After exhausting all feasible efforts to reduce civilian risk, IDF commanders must resolve the decisive question: Is the potential for civilian harm excessive in comparison to the advantages the attack would provide? When you talk of an M-600 in the hands of an enemy that targets vital military assets or the civilian population—even if that apartment building is full—launching the attack will be necessary to mitigate the threat,” he explained.

If Israel were to launch a strike in this instance, he concluded that “both legally and morally, the cause of these tragic consequences will lie solely at the feet of Hezbollah.” As such, “Hezbollah should be pressured starting today to avoid locating such vital military assets among civilians.” Otherwise “the instinctual condemnation of Israel will only encourage continuation of these illicit tactics.”

Stern explained that while Hezbollah has the manpower and weapons arsenal “of a nation-state…its tactics are those of a terrorist organization.” The destruction inflicted upon Lebanon in the event of war will therefore be massive, despite the fact that the IDF wages war in a cautious way to minimize civilian casualties. “The IDF’s warnings certainly go beyond what the law requires, but they also sometimes go beyond what would be operational good sense elsewhere,” noted Michael Schmitt, chairman of the Stockton Center for the Study of International Law at the U.S. Naval War College. “People are going to start thinking that the U.S. and other Western democracies should follow the same examples in different types of conflict. That’s a real risk.”

Israeli military officials in May 2015 told the  New York Times  that Hezbollah has “moved most of its military infrastructure” in and around Shiite villages, which “amounts to using the civilians as a human shield.” One senior military official added that Lebanese civilians are “living in a military compound,” noting: “We will hit Hezbollah hard, while making every effort to limit civilian casualties as much as we can…We do not intend to stand by helplessly in the face of rocket attacks.”

Curious George Observes Ramadan

The beloved American children's book character Curious George is breaking fast for Ramadan this year -- with chocolate-covered bananas, of course.

The just-released children's book "It's Ramadan, Curious George" celebrates the Muslim holiday, teaching kids about the sacred month.

It comes amid rising tensions fueled by worries about Islamist extremism and a heated presidential campaign during which Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump has called for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States.

US author Hena Khan "wanted to focus on the celebratory aspects" of Ramadan, so George attends family gatherings and accompanies his friend Kareem to a mosque to put together charity baskets, she told AFP.

A writer of Pakistani origin from Rockville, Maryland, Khan has already written two children's books about Islam, "but there's something different about having Curious George, a mainstream, well-known, iconic character recognize your tradition and make you feel included."

The story assumes the humorous tone of other volumes in the series, which has sold more than 75 million books since it debuted 1941 and went on to become an animated television series and 2006 feature film.

At one point in the story, the playful monkey -- who has also celebrated Christmas and Hanukkah -- falls over while trying to put together a charity package, failing to control his hunger.

Khan said the publisher granted her freedom to shape the project, and that she focused on making the holiday approachable.

"It was really a reflection of the way Americans that I know celebrate and observe Ramadan, in a very simple way that's understandable for children," the mother of two said.

(“Children's character Curious George observes Ramadan,” AFP Relax News, July 7, 2016, 6/6/16).


[The author goes on to state, “There's a very dangerous narrative being spread about Muslims and inaccurate things being said…" The book "comes at the right time in terms of trying to promote understanding and tolerance." As we have documented on numerous occasions, just let the teachings of Islam speak for themselves. Dave Hunt wrote in the October 2001 newsletter that, “there are more than 100 verses in the Qur'an advocating the use of violence to spread Islam. In the Qur'an, Allah commands Muslims, 'Take not the Jews and Christians as friends....Slay the idolaters [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them....Fight against such...as believe not in Allah...' (Surah 5:51; 9:5,29,41, etc.). Though most Muslims would shrink from obeying such commands, this is official Islam and it cannot change without admitting that Muhammad was a false prophet and murderer.”]
My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me....That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave."

Who would Islam be working with while they are bombing the whole world. Who are they not against?
Here are some excerpts from The Great Controversy, the chapter titled The French Reformation
Quote
     Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The first triumphs of the Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. (See Appendix.) The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of truth all the weapons of deception. There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment of the papal supremacy.
                                                                           235
     When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, visiting prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to have renounced the world, and bearing the sacred name of Jesus, who went about doing good. But under this blameless exterior the most criminal and deadly purposes were often concealed. It was a fundamental principle of the order that the end justifies the means. By this code, lying, theft, perjury, assassination, were not only pardonable but commendable, when they served the interests of the church. Under various disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of state, climbing up to be the counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations. They became servants to act as spies upon their masters. They established colleges for the sons of princes and nobles, and schools for the common people; and the children of Protestant parents were drawn into an observance of popish rites. All the outward pomp and display of the Romish worship was brought to bear to confuse the mind and dazzle and captivate the imagination, and thus the liberty for which the fathers had toiled and bled was betrayed by the sons. The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over Europe, and wherever they went, there followed a revival of popery.  {GC 235.1} 
And this is from the chapter The Bible and the French Revolution
Quote
     "With the flight of the Huguenots a general decline settled upon France. Flourishing manufacturing cities fell into decay; fertile districts returned to their native wildness; intellectual dullness and moral declension succeeded a period of unwonted progress. Paris became one vast almshouse, and it is estimated that, at the breaking out of the Revolution, two hundred thousand paupers claimed charity from the hands of the king. The Jesuits alone flourished in the decaying nation, and ruled with dreadful tyranny over churches and schools, the prisons and the galleys."  {GC 279.2} 
Can you see here how the Jesuits played whatever role necessary to stay in control?

It's no secret that secret societies rule the world. The Bible says that in the end the whole world will wonder after the beast. That would include Islam as well. So should we be surprised that behind the scenes the papacy, through the controlling power of the Jesuits, uses Islam to create chaos, then later for the sake of unity, once again through the Jesuits, gets Islam to wonder after the beast?

Islam is nothing more than a pawn of the papacy creating chaos in the name of religion for the sake of the papacy stepping in later and ending the chaos in the name of religion.
