Being Politically Correct and Fort Hood
Fort Hood, what next? Will this country’s bondage to the Politically Correct, be severed, if Muslim extremists get hold of a nuclear device? What will it take before this country wakes up and realizes we are in a struggle for our very existence?One Muslim extremist is all it takes to reap mass casualties. “In the name of Allah and the Holy Qur'an”, they find their justification to kill. This is a mortal clash between Islamic extremists and the nonbeliever and his way of life. This is not new, since Muhammad led his followers against the nonbelievers in the seventh century, the world has been in a struggle between Islam and those who do not believe.Are all Muslims extremists? No, the majority of Muslims are not extremists. Furthermore, at times this country has been exposed to terrorism by non-Muslim groups and individuals. But time after time, Muslim extremism has spread havoc since the inception of Islam. Jihad has been the tool to spread Islam and punish the offenders of Islam. There is a repeating pattern of Islamic extremist Jihad and there is no end in sight. Shariah or Sharia law is starting to creep into this country and is spreading across Europe. Beyond the Islamic extremists, others in Islam want to see Sharia Law replace Western Society.At this time, the Politically Correct on the far left, continue to diminish the threat of Islamic extremism. And at the same time, the far left tries to deflect the threat by highlighting Right- Wingers as the real threat to this country. No one has the right to take the law into their own hands, but we do have the right to know what threats are out there and by whom. Being Politically Correct is not in our best interest.

In the current presidential elections, with the constant references to white racists and other cutting remarks from the left, being called a Redneck is becoming a badge of honor. I might wear it next to my American flag lapel pin, the next time I’m out in public. I even know that there are fifty states and not fifty seven states even though I was born in Hawaii. My early life doesn’t include people like Bill Ayers or Reverend Wright. My youth did have some savory characters, but none of them were Marxists or ultra left progressives. But what do I know, I’m not an elitist from San Francisco nor am I an intellectual like Barack Obama, I’m only a tractor driving Redneck.

This year’s Columbus Day parade in Denver Colorado went off with little confrontation. So both sides of the issue were able to make their point without clashing. I’ve been to Italy and have read about its important place in European history. I have also read about Native Americans and have been to some of the Caribbean Islands where their ancestors once ruled. I have read about the good and bad in Native American cultures. I also know that as a minority, they will never again be a power base in this country.
We are about to elect an African American president and I have no doubt that in the near future, the Nation will have a Hispanic at the helm. Both African Americans and Hispanics have had a long uphill fight in overcoming injustices. However, the Native Americans at one time, were the most populous people in the Americas. But today they are but a whisper of their ancestors. So if the Native Americans protest some of our European Holidays and it makes some people uncomfortable, it comes with the territory of being the vanquisher and the Native Americans being the vanquished.
The Sand Creek Massacre

happened on the plains outside of Denver and the troopers from Denver paraded with Indian body parts in the streets of Denver. So like it or not, that parade in 1864 was in reality, the first Columbus Day parade from the perspective of the white man and today we have Columbus Day parades with Native American protesters. It is not hard to figure out, just one group of people complaining about another group of people.
At the time, Native Americans were considered savages from the European perspective. Even today, we collectively, as a way to erase and justify the past, consider the Native Americans, as a people who had to be conquered and displaced, but more people have died at the hands of civilized man, in the last hundred years, than since the beginning of time.

Should Sharia law be allowed as a subset to Western Jurisprudence?
Written by wdmll on Mar-28-08 11:28am
There are those in the United States of America and Europe who argue that to be tolerant toward all religions, Sharia law should be allowed as a subset to Western Jurisprudence. Would opening the door to Islam (Sharia law) allow the fanatics to demand more? Once a foothold is gained as in Europe, the floodgates are opened and the torrential waters engulf everything in sight. There is a direct correlation between Islamic population increases and demands for Sharia law. Look at the Islamic demands in Britain or what happened in Sudan. Even in this country (USA), there is a debate about allowing liquor and dogs in taxis, driven by Muslims.Allowing Sharia law to take root in this Country (USA) would be like allowing a noxious weed like spurge, to take over a lawn. Once it gets into the turf, all that can be done, is to keep it at bay.

The USA like all Empires has a beginning and an ending. The conquest and colonization of the Americas by the Europeans was completed in less than four hundred years. The Expansion of the USA into the Pacific and parts of the Caribbean and Latin America continued into the last part of the nineteenth century. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the USA was reaching into the rest of the world. Like Europe, The USA at times, used conquest and colonization to satisfy its appetite. After WWII the USA became a major player in the world. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the USA has become the New Rome. Like Rome, the USA has now reached the point of implosion. Not unlike Rome, we are inviting cheap labor and migration to replace our population and at the same time, outsourcing. We are no longer a nation of productivity but a country of consumption. There are external forces wanting to surpass us or even engulf and replace our way of life. Internally we are losing our moral fabric. All that counts is the all might dollar and materialism. We now spend our leisure time watching gladiators performing in coliseums. Family has less meaning and we are becoming more secular.We don’t have to ponder the future; all we have to do is look at what happened in Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the beginning of the Dark Ages. Islam is on the move again, here in the USA and Europe. The Latino Culture is reclaiming vast regions of this country. What this country is going to look like in the next twenty to forty years is not a mystery, if we stop and look around, we know what is coming.

The Invisible People
Written by wdmll on Nov-14-07 10:05pm
I have a culture and country that I can look back to for my identity. The Native American has no country or land that he can call his own. I have gone to Scotland and went through some of the castles my clan built. The Scots were conquered by the English but the Scots now have control of their own destiny and have their own identity.The Native Americans are a conquered people who will never be a major player again in this country. All they want is to preserve their identity. In the first part of the twentieth century, the Indian children were taken from the tribes and put into government boarding schools. They had to dress like the white man. They were not allowed to speak their native tongue. They were stripped of their identity, dignity, cultures, and lands. How would that be any different than if after World War II if we had forced the Japanese people to give up their culture, their language and religion, to have colonized Japan (displaced them with Europeans). Remember Japan invaded the USA (Hawaii).The Native American was vanquished by our forefathers because they thought that the Red Man was subhuman, a savage. The land was for the taking, the European was superior, we had firearms and we didn’t care how many Indians died. Colonization, slavery, disease, displacement and the gun took its toll on the Native American.Throughout history, many cultures and races have been subjected to slavery, conquest and displacement but in addition, the original peoples of the Americas were nearly eradicated. Today they are the invisible people, a conquered people, subjected to unemployment, poverty, suicide, and alcoholism.Take the time to look at the wind blown prairies, the mountains, the forests and wetlands; you just might see the spirit of a once proud people. I read in an article that in the near future the full-blooded Native American (in this country), will fade into history.

Earlier Clash of Civilizations.
Written by wdmll on Dec-6-07 5:55am
This nation is facing a crisis because of illegal immigration and the Islamic intrusion. But Columbus Day points to an earlier clash of civilizations. Having been in the Navy (in the sixties) and spent time in the Mediterranean, I saw a replica of the Santa Maria (Christopher Columbus’s flag ship). Also being of Celtic extract and spent time in Ireland and Oban Scotland (the home of my clan), I am aware of the English abuses of the Celtic peoples of the British Isles. I sent time on the Caribbean Islands of Nevis and Saint Kitts (named after Columbus). My wife worked on the Island of Saint Kitts. The two Islands are rich in the history of the colonization of the western world. Columbus sighted Nevis in 1493 (on his second voyage to the New World). He called it Las Nieves, Spanish for snows, because its mountains reminded him of the snow-capped range in the Pyrenees. Thomas Jefferson’s grandfather owned a sugar plantation on Saint Kitts. Alexander Hamilton was born on Nevis. The last battles of the American Revolution were fought in the area; in 1782 Brimstone Hill fortress (on Saint Kitts) fell to the French. The Kalinago Indians allowed the first Europeans (English and French) to colonize Saint Kitts. Excerpts taken from: Saint Kitts and Nevis- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. All earlier attempts to settle other islands were met with immediate destruction of the colonies by the Indians. The Kalinagos (known as Caribs by the Europeans) were eventually completely wiped out on Saint Kitts, in the great Kalinago Genocide of 1626. I spent time walking through the ruins of 17th century sugar cane plantations on Saint Kitts, where Indian slaves labored before the introduction of African slaves. I also walked on the beaches of the eastern side of Nevis, possibly where the native people, first sighted the small wooden Spanish ships.As bad as the Spanish treated the native populations in their colonies (South America, Central America and Mexico), not all English colonists were saints in North America. At first the Native Americans and the Pilgrims (of present day Plymouth, Massachusetts), worked together to till and plant the first successful crops. Excerpts taken from Duane A. Cline 2006 (The Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony: 1620). The first feast of Thanksgiving (another national holiday now protested by Native Americans), in October of 1621, was a harvest festival filled with fellowship, good food and games. The Pilgrims had a deep and sincere friendship for the natives. But the peace born of mutual support and trust eventually eroded. The small pox epidemic of 1633-34-swept away thousands Native Americans and made more land available for the English. Full-scale war eventually erupted between the increasing number of colonists and the Indians. The following are excerpts from: Anglo-Powhatan Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In Virginia, in the Tidewater War of 1644-1646, Indian attacks enraged the English colonists who then launched raids on Indian villages, nearly destroying the Powhatan people. The peace treaty in 1646 erased any hope of the colonists and Native Americans being able to peacefully coexist. The Native Americans were displaced from their ancestral lands and the reservation system began. So like the Kalinago Genocide of 1626 on Saint Kitts, the English (illegal immigrants in the eyes of the Indians) replaced the native populations.The English colonies became the USA and the colonization and displacement of the Native Americans continued. The Indian Wars of the West were the last efforts by the native peoples to resist from being driven from their lands. The Trail of Tears, (plus the Sand Creek and the Wounded Knee massacres) and the Nes Prece (Chief Joseph) fight for freedom, are only a few examples of Native American resistance and defeat. The butcher of Sand Creek, John M. Chivington, appeared on a Denver stage where he delighted audiences with his war stories and displayed 100 Indian scalps, including the pubic hairs of women and was honored with a widely attended parade through the streets of Denver just two weeks after the massacre. Taken from excerpts of PBS - The West - John M. Chivington. So Denver is the right place to protest Columbus Day. After all, these are the same streets Native American scalps and female parts were proudly displayed by Chivington’s troopers in 1864.So if Martin Luther King lead protests in Birmingham why isn’t right for Indians to protest Columbus Day in Denver? After all, Columbus opened the floodgates of the largest colonization and displacement of aboriginal peoples the world has seen since the beginning of civilization. The Native American lost of life due to disease, famine, slavery and warfare in the Americas was in the tens of millions. As bad as African slavery was with the lost of life in the millions due to disease, slavery and murder; look at the present populations of African Americans and Native Americans. Today where are the vast concentrations of Native Americans, compared to African Americans? What sports do Native Americans dominate, where are the Native American politicians, and other Native American Leaders. As bad as it is for African Americans in this country, they have Africa to identify as their ancestral origin and black Africans now largely control Africa.The Americas are lost forever to the Native Americans. They are the invisible people, like the buffalo, they had to be eradicated. They had no value; at least the African slave had value.

Will we all be speaking Spanish in the near future?
Written by wdmll on Dec-14-07 4:08pm
This kid-glove approach to the illegal immigration dilemma is totally asinine. Some of us say that we are for building the fence, troops on the border, deporting illegal immigrant felons. In addition, maintaining English as the language of this country and having illegal immigrants pay taxes. But there are those who are against any restraints or negative stimulus to encourage illegal immigrants to go back to Mexico or other countries south of the border. If the illegal immigrants were coming from Ireland or Scotland, I would be protesting their intrusion. I have a Celtic surname but I don’t speak Celtic (Gaelic). I’m proud of my heritage but I’m an American first and Scottish second.The Southern border fence is not going to be built any time in the near future.There will never be enough troops put on the border to keep all of the Illegal immigrants out.Deporting illegal immigrant felons after they assault, maim and kill US citizens is not going to keep our citizens safe.Sending the message, that we don’t want them here illegally by legal restraints and legal negative stimulus, will discourage some of them from staying here.No more sanctuary cities, anchor babies, or free handouts. No more working in this country or going to school, without a green card.When was the last time you looked at all of the Spanish language TV and radio stations? When was the last time you were ask if you speak English or Spanish, when trying to place a telephone call in this country? Have you tried to order something at a fast food drive-in and your order was messed up because they didn’t speak English?With all of the false documents out there, how do we know who is paying their taxes, driving without proper documentation (and insurance) or who is voting and is not a US citizen?We are in state of flux, there are already millions of illegal immigrants in the country and the rate of illegal intrusions is not going to change or may even go up. Are we naive enough to believe that we can absorb millions upon millions of illegal immigrants, without this country losing it’s identify. IF you are part of the elitist of this country, even you and your friends will not be able to hold back the tide of change, behind the walls of your gated communities, if the situation is not held in check.None of the above solutions (fences, troops and etc.) by themselves are going to solve the problem. However, if we implement all or most of the solutions maybe in their totality, we can put a dent in the illegal immigration problem. The Native Americans helplessly watched their demise, as the hordes of immigrants from Europe swarm across their sacred lands. They lost their identity, cultures, lands, languages, religions, governments, nations and even their native existence as a race of tribal people. Today, their numbers in this country are on the verge of none existence. Is this the same fate that you want to pass on to your children’s children?We live in harmony, side by side with our present legal Hispanic neighbors. Many of them have a long history in this country. I’ve had close friendships with a number of Hispanics and I am aware of their peoples’ struggles in this country. One friend owns land in Southwest Colorado, which was part of the Spanish land grants (going back to the seventeenth century). The other friend was from California and his Spanish heritage also goes back to the seventeenth century. My stepsister’s husband’s surname is Spanish and his family has a long history in Colorado and New Mexico. I have another sister whose daughter is also married to a Hispanic. On my wife’s side, she has family that is Hispanic. Our next-door neighbor for over twenty years was an Aztec Indian from Mexico. He spoke fluent English and so do my other Hispanic friends and family. This doesn’t mean that they are not also fluent in Spanish. But if we don’t do something soon, about the influx of illegal immigrants, the language of the land will become Spanish.Adios mi amigo y muchas gracias por tu tiempo, yo hablo espanol un poco.

This is in response to the following article on Zimbio and the Surah 2:257plus Supplementary Notes on Jesus, Jews and Jihad and finally examples of the good deeds of Muhammad Khalifah La ilaha illa-Allah | God alone is There is only one God (Allah) and his prophet is Muhammad
Written by mysticsaint on Dec-12-07 2:20am From: mysticsaint.blogspot.com Also from -Qur'an, Al-Baqara, Surah 2:257God is the guardian of all who believe. He leads them from darkness to light. As for those who do not believe, their guardians are their false gods, who lead them from light to darkness. They are the heirs of hell, and will live there for ever.And the following:The Qur'an tells Muslims to kill the disbelievers wherever they find them (2:191), murder them and treat them harshly (9:123), slay them (9:5), fight with them (8:65 ), strive against them with great endeavor (25:52), be stern with them because they belong to hell (66:9) and strike off their heads; then after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives” for ransom (47:4). Taken from Supplementary Notes on Jesus, Jews and JihadFinally, examples of the good deeds of Muhammad:(http://www.primechoice.com/philosophy/shelp/muhammad.htm)The Koran describes Muhammad's massacre of the Jewshttp://main.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/jews.htm which leads modern Muslims to think such behavior is a good thing. After the battle all 700 men left in the tribe were slaughtered in one day the unfortunates being forced to dig their own graves before their heads were struck off. The women were enslaved. Muslims always prized females not only because they could be used to do domestic work, but also because they could used to used to satisfy their carnal appetites of their owners and also be used as breeding stock to breed more slaves. Islamic enslavement of the non-believer continues today in the Sudan and Mauritania. In fact Islamic genocide against the non-believer is occurring in Dufar (Dhofar), Sudan.My response:Universal Intelligence and Infinite Consciousness are beyond Man's intellect. Through Modern Western Science and looking into one's heart, we have a glimpse of Creation and all of its Glory. God's gift to mankind is freedom of expression. You have your freedom of expression and I have my freedom of expression. If you don't suppress my freedoms and beliefs then I will not suppress your freedoms and beliefs. Do not tread on me and I will not tread on you. For every force there is an equal and opposite force. If I thought that Islam could live side by side with the so-called nonbeliever, then we would truly have World peace. But until Islam stops its encroachment on the freedoms of Humanity, we all will be conflicted. God is God, what we call him does not matter. He is what he is, all we can do, is to love thy neighbor regardless what he or she believes in or how he or she lives their lives. Any dogma that calls for the submission, oppression and death of others, is a false dogma and its God is a false God. Any dogma that doesn’t have tolerance for others, is a false dogma and its God is false. Any religion that requires its followers to live in the past, is a false dogma. Time has no dimensions, it is boundless. Only man tries to label it with the past, presence and the future. Time before the big bang, is beyond the comprehension of Man. So you believe in your God and I will believe in my God. Only the Universal Intelligence knows what the truth is. What is, is, so pray in your Mosque and I will pray in my house of worship. My house of worship maybe a physical structure or in my mind. You turn toward Mecca for payer. The direction of my prayers are in all the dimensions of space and time including within myself. For if there is a God, it is omnipresent.

Why is modern man a Kaleidoscope and what are the consequences?
Written by wdmll on Nov-14-07 9:49pm
There are many factors that result in the disparities between cultures and ethnicity. Science says that modern man originated in Kenya. The African ancestry of the human race is now generally accepted as a fact. Dr. Eric Higgs, of Cambridge University has made a study of the migration of ancient men, and claims that the first man of Europe came to the continent from central and east Africa about 200,000 years ago. Professor Chester Chard, of the University of Wisconsin, has studied the routes of early men who left Africa to colonize the rest of the world, and he has concluded that there were four prehistoric migration routes from Africa to Europe. Other evidence suggests modern man evolved independently at several sites much earlier including Africa, China and Indonesia. Homo Sapiens, Modern Man, exists from 100,000 B.C. to present time, and many say he is well established in Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Australia at this time. Homo Sapiens appears to have emerged and spread throughout the world from two primary sources, South East Asia (Mongoloid) and Africa (Negroid) during the Pleistocene age (600,000 to 10,000 B.C.). Genetic research seems to support this two subspecies of modern man theory. The Y chromosome studies in men suggest modern Europeans migrated to Europe from central Asia and the Middle East in two major waves of migration.By 12,000 years ago at the latest, human populations had spread into most of the habitable regions of the globe, including Australia and North and South America. With the aid of their flexible, rapidly evolving cultures, these groups, loosely organized, as small bands of "hunter-gatherers," were able to adapt to virtually all the climate zones and environmental niches on the planet, from the Arctic to temperate zones to the tropics. According to the publication “Agricultural Revolution”, Washington State University.Human history's most important event since the last Ice Age was the first rise of agriculture in Southwest Asia's Fertile Crescent. The origin of agriculture triggered a long train of economic, political, and technological developments, which began there and spread outward. According to the publication –Location, Location, Location: The First Farmers, by Jared Diamond.The first farmers spread agriculture across the globe; they also sowed seeds for most of today's languages, researchers from UCLA and the Australian National University conclude in the most up-to-date survey of research in the field. Because food production conferred enormous advantages on farmers compared to hunter-gatherers, it triggered outward dispersals of farming populations, bearing their languages and lifestyles," added co-author Peter Bellwood, an ANU professor of archaeology. "Over time, the farmers' languages tended to replace the languages of the hunter-gatherers whom they encountered."In conclusion, the people who remained in Sub-Saharan Africa were not subjected to the same climate changes as those who left. They remained hunter-gatherers. Those who migrated had to adapt. Necessity is the mother of invention. Today's ethnic diversity and socio-economic disparities (and problems) are the result of the adaptation to different climates and resulting ethnic pigment differences.But is the above conclusion totally true? In the last five thousand or so years, other major factors have contributed to the makeup of Mankind. Explosive population growth, the development of civilizations, war, conquest, slavery and colonization have all brought about changes in the original indigenous populations, that were established before Civilized Man came on the scene. While many aboriginal peoples have been reduced or eradicated, new ethnicities have evolved through the mixing and procreation of the vanquished and the conquerors. But in reality there are not different races, only the Human Race (Mankind). Genetically there is only one human species; modern humans are generally genetically the same.According to Professor Stanley H. Ambrose, the last glacial period was preceded by 1000 years of the coldest temperatures of the Late Pleistocene, apparently caused by the eruption of the Mount Toba volcano. The six-year long volcanic winter and 1000-year-long instant Ice Age that followed Mount Toba's eruption may have decimated Modern Man's entire population. Genetic evidence suggests that Human population size fell to about 10,000 adults between 50 and 100 thousand years ago. The survivors from this global catastrophe would have found refuge in isolated tropical pockets, mainly in Equatorial Africa. Populations living in Europe and northern China would have been completely eliminated by the reduction of the summer temperatures by as much as 12 degrees centigrade.Volcanic winter and instant Ice Age may help resolve the central but unstated paradox of the recent African origin of Humankind: if we are all so recently "Out of Africa", why do we not all look more African?Because the volcanic winter and instant Ice Age would have reduced populations levels low enough for founder effects, genetic drift and local adaptations to produce rapid changes in the surviving populations, causing the peoples of the world to look so different today. In other words, Toba may have caused Modern Races to differentiate abruptly only 70,000 years ago, rather than gradually over one million years. (Extract from "Journal of Human Evolution" [1998] 34, 623-651), by Professor Stanley H. Ambrose of the Department of Anthropology, University Of Illinois, Urbana, US.Since then, ice sheets (Ice Ages) have been advancing and retreating. The end of the last Ice Age (10,000 years ago) and resulting Global Warming ushered in the establishment of Mankind becoming the major player on Earth. Even though this planet is in a state of continual change, Man like no other current species of life (other than bacteria and viruses), appears to be a major contributor to the ecosystem of Earth. The earth is in a constant state of upheaval and cyclic change (so is our solar system and the Universe). So will Man help bring about Global Warming or another Ice Age? Only time will tell. But without a clean environment, Man in his present genetic composition, might not be able to continue to live on Planet Earth. Maybe with genetic engineering changes, Mankind could adapt to a harsh environment and not perish. But then Man would be again changing his appearance and socio-economic ramifications, to meet the climate and environmental challenges. Man may have to step out into space and onto other celestial bodies, to maintain his species. But then Man would have to adapt to new solar and environmental conditions (plus gravitational differences and different atmospheres) and over time, genetically evolve into different intelligent life forms (non-human alien races). Time and Change are the controllers of the Universe. And what or who controls Time and Change?

Articles Representative Government and the bus driver, after 9/11
Written by wdmll on Dec-20-07 12:47am
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.

Response to the article "Middle Name Phobia!" , islamicity.com
Written by wdmll on Mar-2-08 1:48pm
The article asked the question, is there middle name phobia when it comes to Obama's middle name? The article brings up other examples of Western phobia. The following is my response to Dr. Aslam Abdullah's article.
Yes there is a phobia in the West when it comes to Islam. You can cite verses from the Qur’an or the Sunna, of the love and compassion of Allah. But there are many other passages that are on the dark side. History and the present speak for themselves, as to the dark side of Islam. Where as Christianity has given up the sword of religious conquest, Islam is even more determined in its goal. Islam is a dogma of consumption, of eradicating anything and everything that is not Islamic. We can go “tit for tat” about the West versus Islam for the last fourteen centuries. But the bottom line is, Islam is creeping into the West and so is Sharia law. As the Muslim populations increase in the West, so do the dangers of Islamic domination. Knowing its overriding quest is world domination, the West can’t for a moment, relax its guard. This doesn’t mean unilateral restrictions or sanctions and loss of First Amendment Rights for Muslims, but constant vigilance of the Rights and Freedoms of the West.
The following passages are part of one of my writings:
Sharia Law or Sharia; it is said that the circle and its center point are the beginning of all Islamic patterns. All that is within the circle is inclusive. Any beginning has an end point or final goal. Nothing is enacted without a desired conclusion. Like a computer algorithm, the programmer knows what code to write to insure the outcome. If one looks carefully at the pattern of Sharia and the mosaic makeup of Islam, one knows the projected outcome. The result is a mosaic representing the Muslim world, the true portrait of what it stands for, a convoluted display of reality. The true meaning is hidden from the viewer. Like looking at a rose and not seeing the thorns. The above symbolism and reality are one and the same. The end points are the aspirations of the Islamic world. Each onto its self is equal and indivisible from the other. One cannot have one without the other.
With Sharia comes the dark side of Islam. See my article Obama's Faith: Rumor vs. Reality, Story on beliefnet.com

Obama's Faith: Rumor vs. Reality, Story on beliefnet.com
Written by wdmll on Mar-5-08 2:51pm
Article: Obama's Faith: Rumor vs. Reality Compiled by Dan Gilgoff and Ansley Roan An article by Beliefnet, addresses some of the issues about Barack Obama's childhood and upbringing. Has he ever been a practicing Muslim, what influences has he been exposed to pertaining to Islam? According to the article, Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. I was also born in Honolulu, Hawaii and my mother grew up on the Island of Maui. The Islands are a rich culture of racial diversity. I have an article about my thoughts on ethnicity, also read my article about escaping from Paradise during WWII.The article states that Obama's mother was a white woman, a Protestant (Christian), who followed a life of secular humanism. His black father was from Kenya. His father (also named Barack Hussein Obama) was raised as a Muslim but turned to atheistism by the time he met Obama's mother. Obama's parents divorced when Barack was two and his father returned to Kenya. Obama only saw his father one more time before his father was killed in an automobile accident. The article continues with young Barack's upbringing. When Barack was six, his mother and stepfather (a Muslim) and his sister moved to Indonesia. Where at the time, Barack sometimes attended prayers at the local mosque with his stepfather. At first he went to a Catholic school (second and third grades). Next he attended a public Muslim school for two years, where he was registered as a Muslim. Other students were registered as fellow Muslims, Christians and Buddhists. Apparently he was exposed to two hours of study pertaining to the Qur'an, a week. Obama lived in Indonesia for four years, until 1971. So Obama was exposed to Islam as a child, but can this be seen as a source of concern or as a valuable experience for a man who wants to be the President of the United States of American? Personally, I don't believe it is a detriment.See unrelated article about Islamic atrocities in Indonesia

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 stand-up 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 in Indonesia. He returned to Hawaii and lived with his maternal grandparents, from the fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979.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?
