Pagan Christian Facists Want to Have a               

Totalitarian America

 

 

Before I found the true religion of Allah(SWT), Islam, I was raised a Roman Catholic by my family.  Even while I was raised a misguided Roman Catholic I couldn't help but look with DISGUST on the Pagan Evangelical LOONEY-TUNES (NOT all Evangelicals I mean CRAZY EVIL people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc.) that UNFORUTNATELY control an ever growing amount of this nation.

 

At least the Pagan Roman Catholic are living in somewhat of a REALITY and can at the very least admit their Bible is CORRUPTED and the authors identities are ALL UNKNOWN

4-   The Roman Catholic Encyclopedia admits that the Bible had been "altered":

From brother Amir AbdulRahim; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:

The subject of Mankind's Corruption of the Bible has interested me greatly, and I have taken a closer look at this subject. Its seems it's not only your site that brings this subject up, but a couple of Christian sites too.

For example, an article in the Catholic Encyclopaedia that you mentioned in regard to the 'Theophilus' mentioned in Luke's Gospel (from your Just Who Are The Real Authors Of The Bible? article) testifies to this fact (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14530a.htm):

"IV. TRANSMISSION OF THE TEXT

No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author-- all have been in some way altered. The material conditions under which a book was spread before the invention of printing (1440), the little care of the copyists, correctors, and glossators for the text, so different from the desire of accuracy exhibited to-day, explain sufficiently the divergences we find between various manuscripts of the same work. To these causes may be added, in regard to the Scriptures, exegetical difficulties and dogmatical controversies. To exempt the sacred writings from ordinary conditions a very special providence would have been necessary, and it has not been the will of God to exercise this providence."

Lets just go through that again - "No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author--all have been in some way altered."  All have been in some way altered! In view of this blatant admission, how can anyone expect me, or any muslim, to follow an impure book?

When you compare this to the great lengths taken to preserve the original Qur'an, there's no contest!

2-  Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible. (a big knock out!!):

To further prove my points above about how truly insignificant the bible's "divinity" to its theologians, and how they absolutely don't regard it as a Perfect Divine Book from GOD Almighty, the following article will further prove this once and for all!

The following article was sent to me by brother Jim Caale (Islamic name 'Zaid'); may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.

 

From http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-1811332,00.html: (emphasis below are mine)

Note:  They even 'refuted' the "book of Revelations" altogether.  See the red part below.

 

The Times

October 05, 2005

By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent

THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true.

The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect “total accuracy” from the Bible.

“We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision,” they say in The Gift of Scripture.

The document is timely, coming as it does amid the rise of the religious Right, in particular in the US.

Some Christians want a literal interpretation of the story of creation, as told in Genesis, taught alongside Darwin’s theory of evolution in schools, believing “intelligent design” to be an equally plausible theory of how the world began.

But the first 11 chapters of Genesis, in which two different and at times conflicting stories of creation are told, are among those that this country’s Catholic bishops insist cannot be “historical”. At most, they say, they may contain “historical traces”.

The document shows how far the Catholic Church has come since the 17th century, when Galileo was condemned as a heretic for flouting a near-universal belief in the divine inspiration of the Bible by advocating the Copernican view of the solar system. Only a century ago, Pope Pius X condemned Modernist Catholic scholars who adapted historical-critical methods of analysing ancient literature to the Bible.

In the document, the bishops acknowledge their debt to biblical scholars. They say the Bible must be approached in the knowledge that it is “God’s word expressed in human language” and that proper acknowledgement should be given both to the word of God and its human dimensions.

They say the Church must offer the gospel in ways “appropriate to changing times, intelligible and attractive to our contemporaries”.

The Bible is true in passages relating to human salvation, they say, but continue: “We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in other, secular matters.”

They go on to condemn fundamentalism for its “intransigent intolerance” and to warn of “significant dangers” involved in a fundamentalist approach.

Such an approach is dangerous, for example, when people of one nation or group see in the Bible a mandate for their own superiority, and even consider themselves permitted by the Bible to use violence against others.”

Of the notorious anti-Jewish curse in Matthew 27:25, “His blood be on us and on our children”, a passage used to justify centuries of anti-Semitism, the bishops say these and other words must never be used again as a pretext to treat Jewish people with contempt. Describing this passage as an example of dramatic exaggeration, the bishops say they have had “tragic consequences” in encouraging hatred and persecution. “The attitudes and language of first-century quarrels between Jews and Jewish Christians should never again be emulated in relations between Jews and Christians.”

As examples of passages not to be taken literally, the bishops cite the early chapters of Genesis, comparing them with early creation legends from other cultures, especially from the ancient East. The bishops say it is clear that the primary purpose of these chapters was to provide religious teaching and that they could not be described as historical writing.

Similarly, they refute the apocalyptic prophecies of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, in which the writer describes the work of the risen Jesus, the death of the Beast and the wedding feast of Christ the Lamb.

The bishops say: “Such symbolic language must be respected for what it is, and is not to be interpreted literally. We should not expect to discover in this book details about the end of the world, about how many will be saved and about when the end will come.”

In their foreword to the teaching document, the two most senior Catholics of the land, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, and Cardinal Keith O’Brien, Archbishop of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh, explain its context.

They say people today are searching for what is worthwhile, what has real value, what can be trusted and what is really true.

The new teaching has been issued as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of Dei Verbum, the Second Vatican Council document explaining the place of Scripture in revelation. In the past 40 years, Catholics have learnt more than ever before to cherish the Bible. “We have rediscovered the Bible as a precious treasure, both ancient and ever new.”

A Christian charity is sending a film about the Christmas story to every primary school in Britain after hearing of a young boy who asked his teacher why Mary and Joseph had named their baby after a swear word. The Breakout Trust raised £200,000 to make the 30-minute animated film, It’s a Boy. Steve Legg, head of the charity, said: “There are over 12 million children in the UK and only 756,000 of them go to church regularly.

That leaves a staggering number who are probably not receiving basic Christian teaching.”

3-  Conclusion:

There is no question that the corruption of the bible is the number one reason, and perhaps the only reason, why its ministers commit rape and homosexuality by the mass.  They have no faith and no solid book to follow and to be guided by.  They know they are the ones who dictate what goes in it and what gets removed from it, just as the "fathers" before them did.  You can't expect from such people to not fall as victims into sin when they have a corrupt book that is completely worthless and helpless to them, and deep inside, they don't regard it any more than a history book.

I hope you see this point clearly because their exposed sins, like I mentioned above, serve as a living testimony that the Bible is a worthless and is a corrupt book.   Therefore, embrace Islam, the Divine Religion of the Absolute One and Only GOD Almighty and associate no partners (Jesus, idols, humans, etc...) with Him, and you will be saved.  Otherwise, you will continue to believe in doubts and man-made lies.

 

Going back to my main point, Pagan Evangelical christians are DETACHED from reality and one of the main reasons for America's INSANE foreign policy and growing domestic problems.

The chief foreign policy situation these Pagan Evangelicals NEGATIVELY influence is the Palestinian/Israeli situation.  Lunatics like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc. take a force like American diplomacy and turn it in to a COMPLETELY biased Pro-Israel EVIL Doing.  The reasons these Pagan Evangelical lunatics do this is simple

1) They believe that all Jews (American, European, Russian, or otherwise) must reside in the land of Palestine.

2) They want to in their words "cleanse" the Holy Land of Arabs, the reason for U.S. government back Zionist genocide of Palestinians.  After this these Pagan Evangelical Christian Evildoers want to help their Israeli Zionist counterparts to rebuild the Temple of Solomon(PBUH).

3) In their demonic "rebuilding" of the Temple of Solomon(PBUH) these Pagan Evangelical Christians want to help their Evil Zionist counterparts destroy the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock

Image:Al aqsa moschee 2.jpgThis is the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.

 

 

This is the Holy Dome of the Rock.  The Zionist Israelis want to confuse the Muslim Ummah by making us and others around the world believe this Beautiful Gold Domed building is Al-Aqsa Mosque, so then they can destroy and damage the REAL Al-Aqsa Mosque and we won't even comprehend or realize the TRUTH!!!!  Both Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock are SACRED and we as the Muslim Ummah must NEVER allow ANYONE to destroy or even damage these SACRED shrines (these Holy Sites are worth more than ANYTHING in this temporary world) Again the First Grayish Domed Mosque is Al-Aqsa Mosque.  Again this IS Al-Aqsa Mosque

 

 

 

 

 

Image:Al aqsa moschee 2.jpg

 

 

4) In attempting their devilish deeds these Pagan Evangelical believe that they will FORCE! Prophet Jesus(PBUH) to return to earth, kill all the Jews who don't convert to Pagan Christianity, and "rapture" the Pagan Trinitarian Christians to Heaven.  So basically these Pagan Trinitarian Evangelical Christian Extremists believe they can in a Sense FORCE God's hand!!!!

 

And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful." (Holy Qur'an 2:111, Abdullah Yusufali Translation)

 

Unfortunately the Zionist Israelis who devilishly seek to destroy the Holy Masjid Al-Aqsa are not only struggling against the Truth but they have NO need to struggle at all as the website www.jewsforallah.org tells us:

 

Link: http://www.jews-for-allah.org/Why-Believe-in-Allah/Temple-Mount-restored-by-Muhammad.htm

 

Masjid ul Aqsa is the reconstructed Third Temple

  One of the highest aspirations of _today's_ Israeli government is to build the "Third Temple" (the third renovation of Solomon's temple which has been destroyed twice before in history), there is only one issue,  the House of prayer "Masjid-ul-Aqsa" now stands in the same exact location.

First Temple in 960 BC, Solomon is believed to have erected it to house the Ark of the Covenant which his father, David, had brought to Jerusalem. The temple was burned to the ground by the Babylonians in 586 BC.

The Second Temple was consecrated in 515 BC, rebuilt by Herod in 20 BC and destroyed by Titus in 70 AD. 

The Byzantine Christians used the area as a dump and it was in this state that a Muslim, Caliph Omar Ibn al-Khattab, found it. In 638 AD. he ordered the place cleaned and built a House of Prayers at the southern end of the sanctuary, the apparent Third Temple " Masjid-ul-Aqsa".

 Masjid-ul-Aqsa was completed by Amir Abd ul Malik in 647 AD.

With these observations in mind, the question is , has another sect of Jews co-orchestrated the Job of building the Third Temple ? *Jews for Allah* . It is well documented that Israelis along side their ancestral brothers, the Arabs, participated in the construction of Masjid-ul-Aqsa.

For example, Ka'ab al-Ahbar, a Yemenite Jew who converted to Islam was a co-engineer in the construction. [Al-Tabari, The History of al-Tabari, Vol XII]

Furthermore, it would have been impossible to clean the area containing decades of Byzantine litter and build this Holy Temple in only 10 years (no electricity), without the cooperation and assistance of the thousands of Jews in Jerusalem.  

 The inhabitants of Israel left the Temple of Solomon a pile of rubble and garbage for almost (Six Hundred Years, nearly 10 generations of Israelis) 70 AD -to-  647 AD, until it was finally beautifully restored by the unity of Jews and ancestral brothers of Jews, the Muslims.

Muslims do not claim to worship a different God than the Jewish God, in fact, just the opposite, Muslims declare they worship the God of Abraham, hence the Masjid-ul-Aqsa is in fact the restoration of the Temple Mount by direct descendants of Prophet Abraham.

What's more, during one of the Crusades, the Crusaders thought the Masjid-ul-Aqsa was Solomon's temple and put a cross on it! If they had known that it was a Muslim temple, they would have torn it down, but it still stands. 

Further proof that Muslims have rebuilt the Temple Mount is that there are no idols in the current place of worship, there are no pictures, the prayers are preformed the way Jews used to pray, and the prayers are made directly to the Creator of Abraham with no intercessors.

The Jews do not have to mourn or drop another tear, the Modern Temple has also been rebuilt to include inscriptions to counter the Trinity of Christianity from our Holy Site:

the New Temple Mount was an answer to and a denial of the attractions of Christianity and its Scriptures, providing the Faithful with arguments to be used against Christian theology. The inscriptions are seven hundred and thirty-four feet long in all, amongst the lengthiest inscriptions in the world. 

The inscriptions are as follows:

Inner Face: South Wall. In the name of God the Merciful the Compassionate. There is no God but God alone; he has no co-partner. He is the Kingship and His the praise. He giveth life and He causeth to die, and He hath power over everything.

South-East Wall. Verily God and His angels pronounce blessing upon the Prophet. O ye who have pronounced blessings upon Him and give Him the salutation of peace. O, People of the Book (i.e. the Jews and Christians, always referred to as such by the Muslims -Ed.) do not go beyond the bounds in your religion and do not say about Allah anything but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is a messenger of God and His word which he cast upon Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe only in God and of his messenger, but do not say "Three" (Trinity) and it will be better for you. God is only one God. Far be it from His glory that he should have a son.

North Wall. The Messiah will not deny to be in the service of God nor will the angels who stand in his presence. O God; pray upon Thy messenger "the servant Jesus - (N-W Wall) the son of Mary and peace be upon him the day of his birth, the day of his death and the day of his being raised alive." That is Jesus, son of Mary - a statement concerning which YOU are in doubt. It is not for God to take for Himself any offspring, glory be to Him.

West Wall. God bears witness that there is no God but Him, likewise the angels and the people possessed of knowledge (S-W WALL) - Upholding justice. There is no God but He, the Almighty and All wise. Verily, the religion in God's sight is Islam.

Outer Face: West and North-West Walls. In the name of God the Merciful and Compassionate. There is no God but God alone. Praise be to God who hath not taken to himself offspring. To Him there has never been any person in the sovereignty. Mohammed is the messenger of God, may God pray upon Him and accept his intercession.

Praise be God who has not taken unto himself a son and who has no partner in sovereignty nor has He any protector on account of weakness.

Islam has a History of Restoring ancient Temples and preserving current Houses of Worship as taught in Islam:

In the time of the caliph 'Umar, certain Muslims had usurped a piece of land belonging to a Jew, and had constructed a mosque on the site. Learning the news, the caliph ordered the demolition of the mosque and the restoration of the land to the Jews.

There are currently thousands of Jews and hundreds of Synagogues in Muslim countries, dating over a 1,000 years old and Preserved in tact to this day, including the dozens of Temples kept in tact in Israel for the past millennium and a half while Muslims were responsible for Israel, if they were in ruble as the Romans had left the Temple Mount, the Muslims would have restored them to houses of worship as was done to the Temple of Solomon.

According to M S M Saifullah, Another Temple restored in history is one built by Prophet Abraham, the Ka'bah:

These are just two of Temples we observe to be restored, we conclude that a further study needs to be set forth to discover other Temples of God brought back to life by the children of Abraham, Muslims.

In Conclusion, attempts to destroy the Masjid ul Aqsa to (re~re-build another House of Worship is not an act of God, but rather an act of pride, egotism, and nationalism, and would severely polarize the nearly 1.5 Billion Muslims with the other children of Abraham. Rather than plotting against Masjid ul Aqsa, Jews need to be thankful to God for sending our ancestral brothers to restore the ancient Temples, which laid in ruins for centuries under Israeli control.

Again while these Pagan Evangelicals work with their cohorts like the Evildoer Bush and coward Olmert they make sure that NO peace process will ever occur.  The best solution to the Palestinian/Israeli problem is simply for ALL TRUE Palestinians be they Muslims, Jews, or Christians to live in the NATION of Palestine.  But as we all know the Zionists bring in people from America, Russia, Europe, and literally EVERY corner of the global.  People who have no right to occupy the land of Palestine, thus this Zionist usurpers STEAL the land of REAL Palestinians by residing in Settlements the International Community RECOGNIZES as CLEARLY ILLEGAL and CLEARLY the land of the True Palestinian people.

View disturbing pictures of U.S. supported Zionist Israeli carnage inflicted on Palestinian civilians:

http://www.answering-christianity.com/pali_torture.htm

 

These Pagan Evangelical Zionist Christians obviously are in deep with the Evildoer President Bush and thus are supporters of Bush and his Zionist Israeli cohorts much of the brutal U.S. foreign policies thus can be laid at these Evangelicals doorstep.  Among these are the war in Iraq, attack on Somalia, continued Zionist slaughter of and LAND THEFT! from the defenseless Palestinians, U.S./Western backed Zionist Israeli slaughter and destruction of the civilians of Lebanon, The Nuclear superpowers America and Israel's continued threatening and possible attack on Iran for simply having a nuclear energy program that does comply with IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) rules: Note Israel won't even admit it has Nukes; we all know they DO! and Israel didn't even sign the IAEA treaty and is ONE of the most FLAGRANT violators of International law.  Continued U.S./Western support for repressive dictatorial governments throughout the world chiefly; Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, and many others.

 

These Pagan Evangelicals also threaten the vary fabric of free and democratic America.  I think all of us can agree we enjoy having all the freedoms we have in this nation.  Whether we disagree with crazy, devilish foreign policy that doesn't mean this nation doesn't have many good people and have many great Truly Islamic principles like freedom of religion

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (Holy Qur'an 2:256, Abdullah Yusufali Translation)

 

Unfortunately, these Pagan Evangelical Fascists like Pat Robertson (see: http://www.answering-christianity.com/brain_damage_by_trinity.htm), Jerry Falwell, the fallen homosexual Ted Haggard (see: http://www.answering-christianity.com/abdul rahman_klimaszewski/fraud_on_haggard_and_hinn.htm

And many others like James Dobson, and groups like the Chrisitan (Pagan) Coalition have infiltrated even the highest levels of American government and seek to turn American into their Psychopathic dream of a Pagan Trinitarian state that represses free thought, freedom of belief, dissent, discussion, differences, and the like.

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The book's cover

The book's cover

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America is a non-fiction book by American author Chris Hedges, released in January 2007.

Hedges is a former seminary student with a Master's Degree in Divinity from Harvard and was a long-time foreign correspondent for The New York Times. He had previously criticized the Christian right in articles such as his cover story in the May 2005 issue of Harpers' magazine called 'Soldiers of Christ'.

Hedges' title comes from a prediction by his Harvard ethics professor, James Luther Adams, who 25 years earlier had warned his students that they would all be fighting the "Christian fascists".[1] Hedges argues that this prediction has come true in that extreme forms of American Christianity now share many features with totalitarian movements, including suppression of individuality, a belief in magic, a shifting ideology, a "binary" good-or-evil view of the world, and a deep intolerance of people outside the movement. He writes that "Christian radicals" are often so consumed with power and wealth that their practice is no longer following "Christianity" in the traditional sense, as a religion focused on compassion and caring for the downtrodden.

He contrasts the fundamentalist understanding with that of his own, in which the Bible is recognized to have some contradictory, and even hateful passages, and scientifically, is limited to what people knew at the time. "Genesis was not written to explain the process of creation, of which these writers knew nothing (Me: Thankfully at least he admits the ANONYMOUS book of Genesis is a FAIRY TALE and is NOT historical in any way!). It was written to help explain the purpose of creation....to help us grasp a spiritual truth, not a scientific or historical fact....Doubt and belief are not, as biblical literalists claim, incompatible. Those who act without any doubt are frightening."[2]

Hedges believes many of the followers are vulnerable victims of what he calls "The Culture of despair" resulting from dislocation and an economic disparity that has hit the American working class especially hard. In some parts of the country, Hedges writes, radical churches offer people a sense of belonging that was once found in the greater community. New converts are surrounded by new friends, but also live under a rigid of set rules that require unquestioning submission.

The book describes some of the places and events of the Christian right, including the 50,000-square foot Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky; a Love Won Out conference in Boston sponsored by Focus on the Family; the National Religious Broadcasters annual convention in Anaheim; and Trinity Broadcasting Network's lavish headquarters in Costa Mesa, California.

"The radical Christian Right calls for exclusion, cruelty and intolerance in the name of God," Hedges writes in his concluding chapter. "Its members do not commit evil for evil's sake. They commit evil to make a better world. To attain this better world, they believe, some must suffer and be silenced and destroyed. The worst suffering in human history has been carried out by those who preach such grand, utopian visions, those who seek to implant by force their narrow, particular version of goodness. This is true for all doctrines of personal salvation, from Christianity to ethnic nationalism to communism to fascism. Dreams of a universal good create hells of persecution, suffering and slaughter." [3]

 

[edit] Criticism

Rick Perlstein of the New York Times writes "Of course there are Christian fascists in America. How else to describe, say, the administrator of a faith-based drug treatment program who bound and beat a resident, then subjected her to 32 straight hours of recorded sermons?" Perlstein believes that this book, however, "is not a worthy attempt ... [Hedges] writes on this subject as a neophyte, and pads out his dispatches with ungrounded theorizing, unconvincing speculation and examples that fall far short of bearing out his thesis ... Hedges is worst when he makes the supposed imminence of mass violence the reason the rest of us should be fighting for the open society."[4]

Joe Bailey of the Oregon Daily Emerald wrote that Hedges "confuses political activism with totalitarian violence. ... Like all Americans, conservative Christians have the right to pursue their political objectives through peaceful and democratic means. Which is precisely what they have done. Despite the peaceful and democratic nature of their activism, Hedges attacks conservative Christians with the nastiest of slurs, revealing a frightening ignorance. ... The old guard of the Christian Right is stuck in the culture war mentality that originated in the 1960s. When liberals like Hedges adopt a similar culture war mentality, they only fortify the divide and lend ammunition to their adversaries."[5]

Publishers Weekly wrote of the book: "As a Harvard Divinity School graduate, his investigation of the Christian Right agenda is even more alarming given its lucidity. Citing the psychology and sociology of fascism and cults, including the work of German historian Fritz Stern, Hedges draws striking parallels between 20th-century totalitarian movements and the highly organized, well-funded "dominionist movement," an influential theocratic sect within the country's huge evangelical population. Rooted in a radical Calvinism, and wrapping its apocalyptic, vehemently militant, sexist and homophobic vision in patriotic and religious rhetoric, dominionism seeks absolute power in a Christian state. Hedges's reportage profiles both former members and true believers, evoking the particular characteristics of this American variant of fascism. His argument against what he sees as a democratic society's suicidal tolerance for intolerant movements has its own paradoxes. But this urgent book forcefully illuminates what many across the political spectrum will recognize as a serious and growing threat to the very concept and practice of an open society." [6]

Book Description
Twenty-five years ago, when Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists first spoke of the United States becoming a Christian nation that would build a global Christian empire, it was hard to take such hyperbolic rhetoric seriously. Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedom and our way of life. In American Fascists, Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book Award finalist War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, challenges the Christian Right's religious legitimacy and argues that at its core it is a mass movement fueled by unbridled nationalism and a hatred for the open society.

Hedges, who grew up in rural parishes in upstate New York where his father was a Presbyterian pastor, attacks the movement as someone steeped in the Bible and Christian tradition. He points to the hundreds of senators and members of Congress who have earned between 80 and 100 percent approval ratings from the three most influential Christian Right advocacy groups as one of many signs that the movement is burrowing deep inside the American government to subvert it. The movement's call to dismantle the wall between church and state and the intolerance it preaches against all who do not conform to its warped vision of a Christian America are pumped into tens of millions of American homes through Christian television and radio stations, as well as reinforced through the curriculum in Christian schools. The movement's yearning for apocalyptic violence and its assault on dispassionate, intellectual inquiry are laying the foundation for a new, frightening America.

American Fascists, which includes interviews and coverage of events such as pro-life rallies and weeklong classes on conversion techniques, examines the movement's origins, its driving motivations and its dark ideological underpinnings. Hedges argues that the movement currently resembles the young fascist movements in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and '30s, movements that often masked the full extent of their drive for totalitarianism and were willing to make concessions until they achieved unrivaled power. The Christian Right, like these early fascist movements, does not openly call for dictatorship, nor does it use

physical violence to suppress opposition. In short, the movement is not yet revolutionary. But the ideological architecture of a Christian fascism is being cemented in place. The movement has roused its followers to a fever pitch of despair and fury. All it will take, Hedges writes, is one more national crisis on the order of September 11 for the Christian Right to make a concerted drive to destroy American democracy. The movement awaits a crisis. At that moment they will reveal themselves for what they truly are -- the American heirs to fascism. Hedges issues a potent, impassioned warning. We face an imminent threat. His book reminds us of the dangers liberal, democratic societies face when they tolerate the intolerant.

In a Word: Scary, February 3, 2007

Reviewer:

H. F CORBIN (ATLANTA, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   (REAL NAME)  

I first heard about this book when Bob Edwards interviewed Chris Hedges on NPR, something that says volumes as Republican members of congress have tried for years to curtain if not silence public radio. Mr. Hedges, who along with other reporters from "The New York Times," won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of global terrorism, dares to use the "F" word here as it relates to the Christian Right and its attempts to take over our government, creating an oligarchy. We have read before much of what Mr. Hedges covers here-- Christian radio and television, Timothy LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' enormously popular LEFT BEHIND novels about the Rapture, etc., the Christian Right's inroads into all areas of politics from the local school board to the U. S. Congress, Senate and Presidency, the teaching of Creationism in our public schools, the demonization of gays, Muslims, liberals, immigrants, pro-choice advocates, et al. To see the Religious Right's plans all laid out so well by Mr. Hedges is devastating beyond words. It is useless he says to attempt debate with these people or to try to change them as they are intent on destroying everyone who does not think as they do. He does exhort all Americans who care about diversity to "give up passivity, to challenge aggressively this movement's deluded appropriation of Christianity and to do everything possible to defend tolerance."

Some of what I learned from this fine book-- the scariest: In THE INSTITUTES OF BIBLILCAL LAW, written in 1973, which according to Mr. Hedges is the most important book for this radical Christian movement known as dominionism, its author R. J. Rushdoony advocates the death penalty for rape, kidnapping and murder, but also for adultery, blasphemy, homosexuality, astrology, incest, striking a parent, incorrigible juvenile delinquency and, "in the case of women, unchastity before marriage."

The most bizarre: that the "50,000-square foot Creation Museum" in Petersburg, Kentucky has a scale model of Noah's ark, "which shows how dinosaurs fit into the three levels of the vessel, along with other species such as horses, giraffes, hippopotamuses, penguins and bears." These pseudo-scientists get around the obvious problem of how these huge dinosaurs could fit inside an ark by saying that "'perhaps God sent young adults into the ark that still had plenty of room for them to grow.'" Enough said.

The funniest-- even for such a serious book: that one can visit the Gold, Frankencense and Myrrh gift shop, as well as the Heavenly Bistro, at the Costa Mesa Trinity Broadcasting Network headquarters. Graceland never looked so good.

AMERICAN FASCISTS should be required reading for all of us who believe in democracy and diversity.

 

 

In closing I hope you see the Threat posed by Violent Fascist Evangelical Zionist Trinitarian Pagan Christians.  To be CLEAR once again I am NOT saying all Christians or even all Evangelical Christians are like the insane leaders Robertson, Dobson, Falwell, Haggard, etc.  Also as a Muslim I see people who claim to be following Islam but are truly following their own whims and desires.  Also it is clear that violent groups try to say they are fighting in the cause of Islam, but we True Muslims, 99.9999% of the Muslim Ummah stand up for the Truth that Islam is a Religion of Peace, Tolerance, and We as Muslims do NOT want to force you to convert to our religion!  Allah(SWT) even says in the Holy Qur'an "There is NO Complusion in Religion".  I as a Muslim stand up and defend the True Religion of Allah(SWT) but I do NOT try to force my will or belief system on others, again Allah(SWT) states in his Holy Qur'an "There is NO Complusion in Religion"  However, in America today groups like the Christian (Pagan) Coalition and people like Robertson have MASSIVE followings and they are indoctrinating more of their Pagan Evangelical flock into attempting to create a Fascist state that will do away with the Bill of Rights and Such.  This article is a message to the American Pagan Christians who attack Muslims saying Extremists in our religion our attempting to hurt you; We'll I have a MESSAGE for you Christians your LOONEY-TUNES like Robertson, Falwell, etc. want to harm Me, My Muslim brothers and sisters, all American people, and eventually the world so just as I and all True followers of Islam denounce the .00000001% of extremists that claim our faith, I call on all true Christians to denounce the dangerous demagogues that make up the Extremist Pagan Evangelical Zionist Christian movement in America.

Jesus didn’t kill anyone, oh really?

 

Debunking another Christian myth

 

By Sami Zaatari

 

 

 

 

One of the most common claim made by Christians is that Jesus never killed anybody. They often always bring this up against Muslims as if to show that the prophet Muhammad was a bad person because he killed people. Before refuting the myth that Jesus never killed anyone, we must also expose the Christian double standard and the Christian weak line of argument. If Jesus is great, and the prophet Muhammad is bad because he killed people, then so is Moses, and so is David. 

 

The OT shows us a lot of battles that both Moses and David took part in, and both these men killed a lot of people, including women and children. Yet when we show this to Christians, they simply ignore it, or try to justify it. Yet what is most inconsistent about this is that if the prophet Muhammad kills people in battle or war, the Christian goes mad and starts screaming out 'false prophet! Such inconsistency from the Christian only exposes the Christian's deceptive character, and shows that these Christians dont have no holy spirit in them.

 

Now let us go back to the main topic, which is refuting the Christian propaganda lie that Jesus never killed anyone. As you all know, Christians always make the claim that Jesus is God, they claim that Jesus is the same God of the OT. So basically what we have is this:

 

1- Jesus is God

 

2- Jesus is the God of the Old Testement

 

3- Christians believe that the OT is the inspired word of God

 

4- The OT is authentic to the Christian

 

5- The God in the OT is Jesus

 

So since Jesus is the God of the OT, we shall now look at the God of the OT ordering the KILLINGS of many people:

 

Zephaniah 2:12-15

 

Zephaniah 2:12-15

"You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD. And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist. He will destroy Assyria and make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert. The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle. All sorts of wild animals will settle there. Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows. Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather. This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure. "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted. But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live! Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist

 

Ezekiel 9:5-7

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."

 

Matthew henry's Biblical commentary writes this on Ezekial 9:5-7 :

 

. A command given to the destroyers to do execution according to their commission. They stood by the brazen altar, waiting for orders; and orders are here given them to cut off and destroy all that were either guilty of, or accessory to, the abominations of Jerusalem, and that did not sigh and cry for them. Note, When God has gathered his wheat into his garner nothing remains but to burn up the chaff, Matthew 3:12 http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=mt+3:12&t=kjv.

 

1. They are ordered to destroy all, (1.) Without exception. They must go through the city, and smite; they must slay utterly, slay to destruction, give them their death's wound. They must make no distinction of age or sex, but cut off old and young; neither the beauty of the virgins, nor the innocency of the babes, shall secure them. This was fulfilled in the death of multitudes by famine and pestilence, especially by the sword of the Chaldeans, as far as the military execution went. Sometimes even such bloody work as this has been God's work. But what an evil thing is sin, then, which provokes the God of infinite mercy to such severity! (2.) Without compassion: "Let not your eye spare, neither have you pity (Ezekiel 9:5 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+9:5&t=kjv> ); you must not save any whom God has doomed to destruction, as Saul did Agag and the Amalekites, for that is doing the work of God deceitfully, Jeremiah 48:10 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=jer+48:10&t=kjv> . None need to be more merciful than God is; and he had said (Ezekiel 8:18 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+8:18&t=kjv> ), My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity." Note, Those that live in sin, and hate to be reformed, will perish in sin, and deserve not to be pitied; for they might easily have prevented the ruin, and would not.

 

2. They are warned not to do the least hurt to those that were marked for salvation: "Come not near any man upon whom is the mark; do not so much as threaten or frighten any of them; it is promised them that there shall no evil come nigh them, and therefore you must keep at a distance from them." The king of Babylon gave particular orders that Jeremiah should be protected. Baruch and Ebed-melech were secured, and, it is likely, others of Jeremiah's friends, for his sake. God had promised that it should go well with his remnant and they should be well treated (Jeremiah 15:11 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=jer+15:11&t=kjv> ); and we have reason to think that none of the mourning praying remnant fell by the sword of the Chaldeans, but that God found out some way or other to secure them all, as, in the last destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, the Christians were all secured in a city called Pella, and none of them perished with the unbelieving Jews. Note, None of those shall be lost whom God has marked for life and salvation; for the foundation of God stands sure.

 

3. They are directed to begin at the sanctuary (Ezekiel 9:6 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+9:6&t=kjv> ), that sanctuary which, in the chapter before, he had seen the horrid profanation of; they must begin there because there the wickedness began which provoked God to send these judgments. The debaucheries of the priests were the poisoning of the springs, to which all the corruption of the streams was owing. The wickedness of the sanctuary was of all wickedness the most offensive to God, and therefore there the slaughter must begin: "Begin there, to try if the people will take warning by the judgments of God upon their priests, and will repent and reform; begin there, that all the world may see and know that the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God, and hates sin most in those that are nearest to him." Note, When judgments are abroad they commonly begin at the house of God, 1 Peter 4:17 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=1pe+4:17&t=kjv> . You only have I known, and therefore I will punish you, Amos 3:2 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=am+3:2&t=kjv> . God's temple is a sanctuary, a refuge and protection for penitent sinners, but not for any that go on still in their trespasses; neither the sacredness of the place nor the eminency of their place in it will be their security. It should seem the destroyers made some difficulty of putting men to death in the temple, but God bids them not to hesitate at that, but (Ezekiel 9:7 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+9:7&t=kjv> ), Defile the house, and fill the courts with slain. They will not be taken from the altar (as was appointed by the law, Exodus 21:14 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=ex+21:14&t=kjv> ), but think to secure themselves by keeping hold of the horns of it, like Joab, and therefore, like him, let them die there, 1 Kings 2:30,31 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=1ki+2:30,31&t=kjv> . There the blood of one of God's prophets had been shed (Matthew 23:35 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=mt+23:35&t=kjv> ) and therefore let their blood be shed. Note, If the servants of God's house defile it with their idolatries, God will justly suffer the enemies of it to defile it with their violences, Psalms 79:1 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=ps+79:1&t=kjv> . But these acts of necessary justice were really, whatever they were ceremonially, rather a purification than a pollution of the sanctuary; it was putting away evil from among them. 4. They are appointed to go forth into the city, Ezekiel 9:6,7 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+9:6,7&t=kjv> . Note, Wherever sin has gone before judgement will follow after; and, though judgement begins at the house of God, yet it shall not end there. The holy city shall be no more a protection to the wicked people then the holy house was to the wicked priests.

II. Here is execution done accordingly. They observed their orders, and, 1. They began at the elders, the ancient men that were before the house, and slew them first, either those seventy ancients who worshipped idols in their chambers (Ezekiel 8:12 <http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+8:12&t=kjv> ) or those twenty-five who worshipped the sun between the porch and the altar, who might more properly be said to be before the house. Note, Ringleaders in sin may expect to be first met with by the judgments of God; and the sins of those who are in the most eminent and public stations call for the most exemplary punishments. 2. They proceeded to the common people: They went forth and slew in the city; for, when the decree has gone forth, there shall be no delay; if God begin, he will make an end.

 

These are just 2 examples the God in the OT ordering the death and destruction of the people. In fact the verses are very explicit; the God of the OT is making it clear that it is HIS SWORD which shall slay the people.

So since Jesus is God, and is the God of the OT, this means that it was Jesus who ordered these killings and it was Jesus who killed all these people! Hence the Christian myth is DEBUNKED. Jesus did kill, and Jesus ordered the killings of women and children, the fact that Christians claim that Jesus never killed anyone is a plane intentional lie by the Christians. We must ask why would the Christians make such a blatant lie? And it also leaves us with another question, which is what else do the Christians lie about? What other myths and propaganda do they create on their made up faith? We can only guess, but no doubt each lie will get caught and exposed.

20th Century Church Atrocities

References:

 

Serbs claim they are going directly to Heaven, this is based on the teachings of Paul who wrote Jesus' blood cleansed all past, present, and future sins [even as they kill and rape innocent people on Easter].

We witnessed over the centuries the negative effects of this theory of atonement as we witness it's ungodly effects today.

With these Christians under the assumption that they are saved on faith alone regardless of their horrid actions, in the case of the Serbs [rape, genocide, looting], you have atrocities repeating themselves through out history, with it's root in the Christian atonement theory.

Listed are only events that solely occurred on command of church authorities or were committed in the name of Christianity. (List incomplete)

Mission

·  Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]

·  Peasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223]

·  Battle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235]

·  15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30]
16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde". Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]
