Who Was Kayla Mueller? – Op-Eds – Arutz Sheva

A look at the writings of the ISIS victim shows her support and aid to Palestinian Arab terror groups, her acting as a human shield for them, and her active participation in anti-Israel protests. Rachel Corrie did the same.

Sadly, she was allegedly killed by the Jordanian air raid attacks according to ISIS who held her hostage, although the United States says there is no evidence to that effect. The truth of how Kayla Mueller, 26, died may never be discerned.

As I read this story telling the other side of the Kayla Mueller story I hear the famous words of Paul Harvey’s now for the rest of the story. It would appear from some sources that the ‘missional’ Kayla Mueller may have actually been more of an ICS activist and not on a mission of mercy after all.


ISIL in Libya Beheads 21 Christians

And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,” wrote the Apostle John in Revelation.

On Sunday, a video surfaced that showed the black-clad jihadists of the ISIL franchise in Libya, The Islamic State in Tripoli Province, beheading 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, staining the waves with blood.

The jihadists made it clear: They beheaded the men because they were “people of the cross, followers of the hostile [sic] Egyptian Church” and announced their aspiration to capture Rome.

Egypt launched swift retaliation, bombing at least seven locations in Libya. Meanwhile, Barack Obama still denied the religious causes of the violence when in his White House statement he said, “We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the Egyptian government and people as they grieve for their fellow citizens.

ISIL’s barbarity knows no bounds.” Not only does Obama deny the religious motivations of ISIL, he dishonors victims by denying why they were murdered. Not knowing the enemy – that’s how wars are lost.

Obama has said in the past the the Christian’s have stains in their past and he pointed to the crusades which were wars waged against Arab aggression. Historians note that these crusades proved to be rather ineffectual in their efforts to thwart the Muslim aggression. Perhaps they too underestimated the barbarity of these Muslim terrorists. These groups are bloodthirsty and their barbarism knows no bounds. These groups are not civil and they do not respect life. The view there fight as holy and right and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal of world domination. Submit of die is the Muslim cry to all infidels.

Civil societies have a hard time dealing with such barbarism because they are constrained by human decency, a Christian moral compass, that restrains their actions and stays their hand from returning upon the heads of these barbarics the same cruelty they dish out.

The Israelites where faced with a really tough decision when God commanded them to utterly destroy the people in whose land He was giving to the Israelites as and inheritance.

16 However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

17 You must completely destroy them-the Hittite, Amorite, Canaanite, Perizzite, Hivite, and Jebusite-as the Lord your God has commanded you,

18 so that they won’t teach you to do all the detestable things they do for their gods, and you sin against the Lord your God. Deut 20:16-18

God had driven these people from the land because of their DETESTABLE PRACTICES and the THINGS THEY WOULD DO FOR THEIR gods.

I can understand why it would be hard to completely whip out a people including women and children and livestock. You see these people do not hesitate to kill women and children and whip out anyone who gets in their way. I wonder if God would call these acts DETESTABLE?

Egypt is doing what America and others threatened by ISIS should be doing. Go on the offensive with a war plan whose goal is the complete elimination of these groups who are doing these detestable practices for their gods.

And that is the way I see it what say you?

Spontaneous Order vs. Government Junkies

Most of life happens without a central planner. Yet people think we need one. Suppose you’d never seen a skating rink, and I told you that I want to lay down some ice and charge people money to strap sharp blades on their feet. They will zip around on the ice – young and old, skilled and unskilled. My only rule: Go counter-clockwise.

Our society functions much like skaters on a skating rink, each skater making instantaneous decisions and changing positions and directions as they seem best to maneuver the rink to their joy and delight. In their pursuit for happiness they would strap on their skates and enter the ice rink to go around and around weaving in and out of the other skaters and at the end of the day they would have pursued their happiness.

Central planners (government regulators) have difficulty understanding spontaneous order and they feel that they have to control every aspect of an individual’s life so that NO HARM will come to the general public. The only problem is these few elite so-called experts are incapable of controlling the zig and zag of skaters on an ice rink let alone the billions of decisions being made every minute of every day by individuals in their pursuit of happiness.

From the Top of the Nest

The bloggosphere is all a twiiter about President Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer breakfast last Thursday. During his speech Obama spoke against violence committed in the name of religion, and stated that Christians have been just as guilty as Muslims and other terror groups of this crime.

He equated the Crusades with the Muslim jihad as if the two are equal. The Christian crusades came about as a result of Muslim jihad and were a defensive move to protect Christians who were being killed by Muslim jihadists, much like today. Unlike the Muslim jihad, the Christian crusades ended centuries ago.

Misconceptions about the Crusades are all too common. The Crusades are generally portrayed as a series of holy wars against Islam led by power-mad popes and fought by religious fanatics. They are supposed to have been the epitome of self-righteousness and intolerance, a black stain on the history of the Catholic Church in particular and Western civilization in general. A breed of proto-imperialists, the Crusaders introduced Western aggression to the peaceful Middle East and then deformed the enlightened Muslim culture, leaving it in ruins. For variations on this theme, one need not look far. See, for example, Steven Runciman’s famous three-volume epic, History of the Crusades, or the BBC/A&E documentary, The Crusades, hosted by Terry Jones. Both are terrible history yet wonderfully entertaining.

Not much has changed when it comes to the Muslim jihadists since they are attacking the same region and the same people groups as they did centuries ago. In fact their war on Christianity has never ended. Except for the Crusaders Europe would have been a Muslim Caliph today.

The true intent of the Muslim Jihadists is to rid the world of Christianity and Jewry. That crusade has never ended. Christians on the other hand may have given up the fight to make disciples of all nations, teaching and baptising in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Real History of the Crusades

A series of holy wars against Islam led by power-mad popes and fought by religious fanatics? Think again.

Harvard Students can’t recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but know what ISIS stands for

In response to a video showing how Harvard students believe America is a greater threat to the world than ISIS, another movie-maker asked them to explain what ISIS means, and then recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Not surprisingly, they were way better at the former than the latter.

Isn’t Obama a Harvard alum?

When the Intolerant Ask for Tolerance

Random Ramblings from the Resident Raptor

Whoever isn’t against us is for us. Mark 9:40 (GW)

Seems like a contradiction doesn’t it? How can someone who is intolerant to your beliefs ask you to be tolerant of theirs? How can you allow yourself to be bullied into thinking that someone who does not tolerate you can be reasoned with or trusted? It is their desire to change your belief to theirs not learn about yours. If past actions speaks volumes then unless those past actions are condemned by the person or persons who committed them how is it that all of a sudden they are exonerated? In other words if they are against us how can they be for us?

A lot has been written and discussed about the proposed Muslim Mosque being planned near ground zero in New York City. The one side says that it is an outreach or an attempt to form better relations between us and them. The other side says that it is an abomination to the memory of those who were slaughtered on 9-11 and of course there are varying opinions between these two sides.

Common sense dictates that if your intention is to build a bridge to mend harmful relationships you do not poke the eye of the person you are trying to build a bridge to. If the real intent of this “mosque” was to mend the wound caused by 9-11 then why are they so intent on causing unrest in the very people they intend to reach out to?

In my opinion, the best thing those proposing this mosque could do is use the money slated for this eyesore to pay the victims families for the horror they had to endure as a result of adherents to their religion. Building a mosque only honors the Muslim religion and does nothing for those who suffered at the hands of that religion.

Someone stated the site is to be used more ‘as a cultural center rather than a religious facility, to help to heal some of the wounds caused by a handful of fanatics.’ After all one person concludes, “We’ve mended fences with the citizens of Japan, and we can do the same with Muslims.”

A cultural center could be built by the city and not by some “secret” Muslim backed group if the intent was to educate the people. I do not think the people of New York City need anyone telling them anything about 9-11! They lived through it. In fact the people of New York are telling anyone who will listen that this Mosque is a bad idea! Why aren’t their views considered in the debate. They are simply dismissed as intolerant or bigoted.

As far as mending fences with Japan we did that without building a Shinto center honoring Emperor Hirohito at Pearl Harbor.

There would have to be a change of attitude toward us before I would consider changing my attitude toward radical Muslims. After all they declared ‘jihad’ on us and as far as I know that has not changed. If they are seeking tolerance from us then they need to be tolerant of us. Since Islam has not redacted it’s stance toward us, and it considers America to be the “Great Satan” then personally I do not see why we need to turn a blind eye to this obvious “in your face” symbol of intolerance. They desire for us to accommodate them after they have proven their distaste for America and our way of life. Didn’t 9-11 teach us anything?

Granted there are many American Muslims in our nation who love this nation and who are quite happy living here. There are many who have assimilated into the American lifestyle and have adapted to our ways. However the Inman responsible for the Cordoba project in New York does not happen to be one of these.

I know this sounds harsh but I am offended that anyone would even try to justify this whole absurd idea that a Mosque is a fitting symbol for mending fences at “ground zero.” It is a slap in the face! If no one else will say it then I will. No Mosque, no way, no how, for no reason! I learned all I needed to learn about radical Muslims on 9-11 and since we are still at war with adherents to that religion in Afghanistan and to a lessor degree in Iraq this whole mosque thing makes no sense to me. This is however just a view from the nest.

But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. Isaiah 40:31 (BBE)

My No Nonsense Plan for Homeland Security


TSA Allowed Liquids

Instead of abusing law abiding citizens at airports. Instead of putting everyone through the inconvenience of added security checks and forbidding poor grandma from bringing her medicine on board the plane how about we try a little common sense?

Now I am not a highly paid TSA agent nor am I a government worker but hey I am an American. I have been thinking about these diaper bombers and shoe bombers and whatever else they can blow themselves up with bombers and thought I would offer my 4 step program for stopping Muslim suicide bombers from boarding planes at airports. Of course the only absolutely for certain way to avoid ever being on a plane with a mad suicide bomber is to fly solo like us eagles. Anyway I digress. Back to my 4 step suicide bomber prevention check list.

#1 Blare over the Airport loud speaker system this repeated message: Allah is a FALSE GOD! Along with the announcements of arrivals and departures. BE sure to throw in the obligatory no parking in the Red Zone and then repeat the aforementioned phrase ALLAH is a FALSE GOD!

#2 On my list of preventive steps that can be taken at every airport to prevent Muslim suicide bombers from getting on airplanes is: Drum roll please… Have all airport personnel Shout repeatedly that the prophet Muhammad was a Murderer and a Pedophile. That should get their turbans in a twist.

As you might have guessed this is going to offend the Muslim population that just may be frequenting the airport. But isn’t that the point? I mean why inconvenience and offend law abiding citizens who simply wish to travel in peace? Why not simply offend the offenders? Anyway there are still 2 steps remaining.

#3 After repeated blaring Allah is a False God from the loudspeaker and having every Airport employee shouting the phrase that Muhammad was a Murderer and a pedophile place full color banners at every entrance, urinal, coat check, locker, ramp, doorway, archway, and lounge area advertising FREE DATING SERVICE for Disgruntled Muslim Suicide Bombers. The catch phrase of course is “If you have to Blow yourself up to meet a virgin you really do need our services. CALL 1-800-LOSER!” That is sure to ruffle some turkey feathers.

#4 If by now you haven’t successfully succeeded in offending our Muslim suicide bombers then be sure to SOUND the MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER right before announcing the final boarding call at every gate. Make sure to PAINT huge ARROWS on the floor POINTING toward MECCA. As an added perk you could provide prayer rugs for our Muslim terrorist guests to use while praying to their false god in the name of the pedophile murdering prophet. And then while they are all bent over praying kick their butts out the nearest exit and board the plane.

And to think all this could be done with little or no TAX MONEY being spent.
Eagle Out!
