Seattle Officials and Islam

Washington officials warm up to Muslims

Governor Jay Inslee leads protest against President Donald Trump

Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant has a long history of leading protests using taxpayer money.  She is most outspoken against President Trump.

One might wonder how this Muslim relationship is going to shake out with Seattle's Mayor being openly gay.  He is married to Michael Shiosaki who works for Seattle Parks and Recreation.

Revert, Convert or Pervert

The Three Verts

When someone hears of a person becoming a Christian we usually think of the person being a convert.  In Islam the word revert is what is most often used.  So what is the difference and why do they use different terminology?  The difference is in how one is viewed in their pre-faith condition.  Both consider the pre-faith condition as being lost but in what way?  Based upon various biblical texts the Christian is understood to be born in a sinful state because of what we have inherited through the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden.  David writes in a psalm, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me" (Psalm 51:5).  In his letter to the Romans Paul wrote, "Therefore, just as one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because of sin" (Rom. 5:12) he earlier had written, "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23).  For this reason Jesus said we must be born again.

The Muslim concept is quite different.  They do not believe that God's prophets, including Adam sinned nor did we inherit this problem.  They believe we are all born sinless and become sinners through false teaching and actions, therefore we must be reverted to our condition at birth.  That is done by faith in the God of Muhammad and by confession of his prophethood.    The Christian believes ones heart is changed by God at conversion, whereas the Muslim changes his own heart through a series of words accompanied by religious works.

Even if we could agree on the concept of God the Christian could never agree on the Muslim means by which one becomes righteous.  Apostle Paul explains "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast" (Eph. 2:8&9).  The Muslim will often make claims of righteousness based on how much of the Quran he has memorized, by the prayer bump on their forehead from so much time on their prayer rug or how many times they have been to the Hajj in Mecca, etc.

Considering that Muhammad's religion was dreamed up over 500 years after Christ and rejects the Deity of Christ as well as the blood atonement we would consider it a perversion of the religion of Abraham rather than simply another expression of the faith.

The Quran goes to great length to boast the character of Muhammad.  Speaking of Muhammad in Surah 33:4 we read, "And indeed, you are of a great moral character".  Similar statements are in Surah 33:21.  But we have question about this moral character considering the fact that he married Aisha the daughter of Abu Bakr when she was only six years old and had sex with her at age nine.  Then after pillaging the Jewish village of Khaybar about hundred miles north of Medina he took a seventeen year old girl as another wife and named her Safiya which means "portion of the booty".  So once again we view Islam as a perversion of religious morality and Muhammad a pervert.

Three Amigos Unite

A Pastor, a Rabbi and a Imam go into a bar...wait, this is not a joke.

Pastor Don Mackenzie, Rabbi Ted Falcon and Imam Jamal Rahman (the Three Interfaith Amigos) make the rounds speaking at interfaith groups, usually of the liberal Unitarian mindset, in effort to convince the naive, that Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship the same God and should be able to work together in harmony.  Using their co-authored book they are all smiles, however the topic is a sober one considering Muslims have been slaughtering Jews since the pillage of Khaybar in the days of Muhammad.  Then, banning all churches and synagogues from Arabia a few years after Muhammad's death the Muslims built a Mosque on the foundation of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem (7th century) as an act of dominance and superiority and in 1453 attacked Constantinople and turned the largest church in the world into a Mosque.  Well of course this sounds like one big happy family.

Then in our lifetime we see Muslims crucifying Christians in the Middle East, stabbing and shooting kafirs (non-Muslims) of all sects around the world.  These three deceivers are barking up a tall tree in effort to shake lose some low hanging fruit.

Does anyone seriously think Jesus would have prayed to a pagan shrine in Mecca?

The Bible warns in so many ways about the dangers of uniting with false prophets but Jude's is likely the most easily understood.  "Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.  For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ"(Jude 3&4).

You will find the three Amigos giving their presentation on TED talks.  Judging by the number of TED Youtube programs on Islam it appears TED has become a new platform for liberal pro-Muslim speakers.

TED which originally stood for Technology, Entertainment, and Design is a no-profit organization that produces videos shown online around the world.  Their slogan is "ideas worth spreading".  While there has been an abundance of worthwhile programs done by TED many of those done about Islam are nothing more than propaganda designed to neutralize critical thinking regarding Muhammad's cult.  The hijab is one of the most popular topics.  Articulate and often well educated women are chosen to give their emotional appeal about their head covering as though it is a glorious symbol of liberty when in fact in many Muslim countries it is nothing but a picture subjugation and bondage.

Bloody Shi'ites

SHI’ITES

          The loyal followers of Ali known as the Shi’at Ali, or “party of Ali” have continued to fight for what they consider to be divine rights in the rule of the Islamic world.  The Shi’ites can be seen lacerating themselves during the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of past leaders.

          The Shi’ite faction which became the state religion of Iran brought about new ideas regarding divine eligibility to the caliphate which is linked to the royal blood line of the prophet.  Out of this conviction sprang an elite group of “Ismailites” who held a secret order similar to western Masonic mysticism in which members were led to believe they would hold the keys of the Talim or Secret Doctrine (that God is All) elevating them above every creed and law.  This required a somewhat more allegorical interpretation of the Qur’an.  It also required of course total obedience to the Dai-d-Duat, or Grand Master of the order.  Often times esoteric views have been put forth related to numerology and transmigration of the soul from the dead to certain living leaders or Imams.  Some of these ideas are most difficult for the western mind to grasp.  Their numerology ideas are possibly linked to ancient Jewish mysticism called the kabballa, or even numerical patterns in the Bible.  A group of twelve Imams, the “Twelvers,” in Iran claimed to direct the world’s future and around them developed a tradition of followers making pilgrimages to their tombs.  A considerable business is maintained around the burial of corpses of the faithful around the cities where these tombs are found.  They are carted here from considerable distances.  Imam Husain, the grandson of the prophet being an important focus of honor.  Husain is one of those martyrs for whom the faithful flail themselves with an assortment of blades during the Ashura, or traditional day of mourning at the memorial in Karbala, Iraq.  It is a frenzied form of mourning that few in the west can wrap their minds around.  Boys as young as five or six years old take part to show their bravery and devotion.  A student of the Bible might have Old Testament scenes of the conflict with Elijah and the prophets of Baal come to mind.  The prophets of Baal used similar methods for getting the attention of their god.  The mystical idea of the reappearance of a Hidden Imam as the Mahdi (Guided One), who will bring peace and justice has been promoted through various leaders who have preached Islamic reform.  This became the foundation of the Fatimid dynasty.

See Something

Say Nothing

by Philip Haney & Art Moore

review by Dale Brown

National security events following the Islamic attacks on America on September 11, 2001 developed into what has become known as the Department of Homeland Security, set up President George W. Bush and the US Congress.  It is the largest Government agency formed since the establishment of the Department of Defense and Philip Haney was one its founding members.  And now he is dead.  https://www.wnd.com/2020/02/dhs-whistleblower-philip-haney-dies/

An entomologist with a history of researching bugs for the Department of Agriculture and experience with overseas cultures and languages in Egypt, Eritrea, Israel, Jordan, and Yemen he had a unique ability for tracking down Muslim terrorists.  He was the stereotypical nerd who had learned shorthand which became one of his most valuable assets.  He has been called a nation treasure because when "See something, say something" was plastered all over public places after 9/11 he was a front-line intelligence expert investigating branches of the Muslim Brotherhood and other groups linked to worldwide terror.  Michele Bachman, former member of Congress, wrote a glowing foreword expressing her concern how a man such as Mr. Haney could receive numerous awards for his work going beyond the call of duty yet when his reports were sent up the chain of command his detailed findings were so alarming that those who had been calling Islam a "religion of peace" had him shut down and the new and improved slogan became "See Something, Say Nothing".  Had this information been heeded it is likely that lives may have been saved such as those gunned down at San Bernardino.

It has been said that the road to hell is paved with political correctness.  He pointed out that in 2006 the American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, (HAMAS) CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) began getting VIP tours of major US airport security systems and employees were required to go through Islamic sensitivity training so as to not offend Muslims.  CAIR began working with the ACLU getting legal advice on how to work the US courts in their favor and the United Arab Emirates started throwing millions of dollars at CAIR.  Haney wrote a piece called Green Tide Rising which was publish on the Front Page Magazine website which got the attention of those in power who accused him of unethical behavior.  An investigation yielded no evidence of criminal behavior, he proved to be nothing more than a patriot doing his job.

When Haney was ordered to erase years of research of dozens of links of terror groups he thought that he could get the attention of Congress about the tragedy this was going to cause for national security.  He submitted his concerns to Michele Bachman, Louie Gohmert and a few others then watched as John Boehner, John McCain and others defended Islam and attack them as though they had dreamed up a wild fantasy based on nothing but racial bias and religious bigotry.  It became quite obvious how dangerous things had become with Muslims in Congress such as Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison who were now speaking for the Muslim Brotherhood.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 's top aid, Huma Abedin, a Muslim, now had access to potentially sensitive government information and no one seemed to know how she ever got vetted to such a position.  Mitt Romney was one of those who came to the defense of the Muslims.

In 2011Hillary had been duped by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) a group of fifty-seven Muslim nations who have been working to empower a world Caliphate for decades. These countries already have sharia-blasphemy laws and are systematically scheming under the guise of confronting Islamophobia to enact such rules over non-Muslim countries as well.

This hard hitting book is co-written by Art Moore, a reporter and editor who has been in the business of researching counterterrorism since 9/11.  It will be interesting to see how the Trump's new administration will sort out the mess Washington is in.

Sting Stung by Allah

A year after 89 people were slaughtered at a the Bataclan theater in Paris by Muslims, Sting reopened the venue with his song "Inshallah (God willing, in Arabic)".  Allah was likely the last word many of the victims heard before their blood ran out cold on the floor.

Musicians who write poetic lyrics which speak to the emotions and issues of daily life are so often elevated as prophets by their naive fans.  Bob Dylan, the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen and others have had their shot at it.  But very few of them are theologians.  Springsteen revealed his complete stupidity by claiming in mocking terms before the election that Trump was no way going to become President.  As brilliant as Sting is it is a wonder why he would use a term that would touch so many people on the raw.  I suppose he thought it would be a polite way of bowing to the Muslims and keep them off his back.  Well why not, that is what most other British dhimmis are doing these day.  To speak critical of Islam in Britain is to find yourself in court accused of any number of sharia trumped up charges as Tommy Robinson, Jayda Fransen and others have discovered.

Outspoken Christians such as Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen have had a long history of battles against Islam in the UK.  https://youtu.be/F66bXmR_FYk
