Syria is a very unique country: primarily a Sunni nation with a strong Shiite minority. President Assad belongs to the Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shiite Islam that is supported by Iranian Shiites. This love affair between Iranian and Syrian Shiites is the reason the area is a bubbling volcano.

The Sunni sect thrives in most Islamic nations (Syria 85%, Saudi Arabia 90%, Egypt 90%, Jordan 90%, Turkey 65%) while the Shiites dominate Iran 90% and Iraq 65%. Hatred between Sunnis and Shiites going back to the death of Mohammed and his successor is currently expressed in the tragic Yemen (Iran’s proxy) war funded by Saudi and the U.S. with massive arms sales by the U.S. and Britain.

Saudi Arabia and the U.S. should stop the slaughter in Yemen and let Saudi and Yemen (Iran) settle their own religious and political differences.

An honest writer will always write the truth about Islam (and all things) and will never refuse to expose a lie. Fact: Islam is the Jonestown Cult without the Kool-Aid. It is dishonest, dangerous, and deadly.

Islam has a 1400-year history and has two “holy” books that clearly delineate what they believe; however, most people refuse to read them. Moreover, numerous Muslim scholars have expounded on their holy books so the dullest person has no excuse to be deceived into thinking Islam is a peaceful religion. People who believe that failed World History—in high school.

Moreover, they obviously know nothing about world events in the last 20 years.

And for college graduates to believe that traditional Islam is peaceful, requires a huge gulp of Kool-Aid.

Islam was started by an illiterate moon worshiper named Mohammed (spelled many different ways)—a pagan, slave-holding, sexist, thieving pedophile. If gasping Progressives will correct me, my apologies will follow.

Muslims have boasted how slowly Christianity gained prominence while Islam gained prominence so quickly. I pointed out that Christ’s basic message is love and Mohammed’s is hate. Christians used the Word while Muslims used a sword to conquer.

Muslims are still altering nations as free nations are being overwhelmed by Muslim immigrants who are swiftly changing the nations’ cultures. England is no longer England. France is no longer France. Germany is no longer Germany. And America is no longer America. Many don’t think that matters but I do. Moreover, we are fools if we don’t recognize the enemy among us.

I authored ISLAM: America’s Trojan Horse! in 2003 with second and third editions in 2009 and 2012 suggesting “the day [is] coming when our glorious Republic will only be remembered as a noble experiment between the great oceans. In kindness, we have permitted aliens inside our nation who have no intention of being absorbed into our ‘melting pot.’ They believe in the ‘salad bowl’ theory. Muslims will not adopt our ways and be assimilated into our culture. They are determined to change our culture, laws, and religion as they have in England, France, and other nations.”

I first wrote that in 2003. It is far worse than I anticipated. European nations have never seen such a massive sea change in their culture as observed by the invasion of immigrants from the Middle East and Africa. If American leaders would simply open their eyes, they could see the same thing happening here. It is almost too late to stop the massive shift in our national life.

There are 3000 mosques in America and 80% of them are controlled by the most extreme Wannabee sect in Saudi Arabia. It is interesting that there is not one church, of any kind, in Saudi Arabia! I have challenged Muslims and US progressives who are so sensitive about equality and diversity and fairness to help me start the Trinity Baptist Church in Mecca but I’ve had no response from the self-righteous hypocrites.

Most politicians are too gutless to read and acknowledge the facts. It is much easier to question my sanity, my sincerity, my ability, and my parentage than to respond honestly.

The Hamas Charter demands that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it”; therefore, all Hamas followers are obligated to drive Israel into the sea. The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei agreed, “Israel is a cancerous tumour that should be cut and will be cut.” It is significant that Psalms 83:4 revealed this hatred millennia ago: “They have said, ‘Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.’”

The biggest mistake and most dangerous mistake being made by the world’s leading politicians is their statement: “Radical Islamic terrorists are the nation’s biggest problem.” That is not true: Islam is their biggest and most dangerous problem. There is little to fear from a backslidden Muslim.

Yasir Kazi is not a backslidden Muslim but an American imam (Ph.D. from Yale) and former professor at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. He has taught that Christians are “filthy” in the sight of Allah. He compared us to feces and urine saying we are the “most evil of evils.” But that’s his mildest charge against us. This dude has been characterized by The New York Times magazine as “one of the most influential conservative clerics in American Islam.” What else does that “conservative” teach? He tells his students to rape, steal, and murder any who do not convert to Islam, yet he has never been arrested!

Imam Mohamad Adam el-Sheikh, Ph.D. from Temple University, told the Washington Post that suicide bombings are acceptable “if certain Muslims are to be cornered where they cannot defend themselves…” He is also the head of the Islamic Judiciary Council of the Shari’ah Scholars’ Association of North America. Few Americans know that such a group exists. Sharia law is based on the Koran and the Hadith, the sayings and actions of Mohammed.

Many Muslims believe they should live under their religious law and not under state or federal laws. Some states have passed laws making it illegal for any court to consider any foreign laws in making decisions. Since Muslims consider sharia law as divine and cannot be changed, a major train wreck is ahead.

Zee News reported that a female Muslim professor at Islam’s most prestigious university said Muslim men are permitted to rape non-Muslim women and enslave them. “Allah allows Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them, claims Islamic professor,” Try to find any US Muslim leader (even among the most moderate) who renounced and repudiated her claim.

Most people are fearful of criticizing, even questioning Muslims since they are a preferred, protected, and pampered class thanks to a gutless media and know-nothing academia.

World leaders have displayed political correctness and personal cowardice in dealing with Islam, becoming tools for Muslims to advance their cause. Such leaders will be recognized as cheerleaders for their own destruction. Leaders who are afraid of adverse public opinion and being labeled “conservative” (gasp!) or “Fundamentalist” (gasp! gasp!) are moral cripples who are not aware of their limp and crooked walk.

Such leaders, in crises, are as useless as a milking stool under a bull.

The Secretary of Defense revealed last week that 200 special operation troops would be sent into Iraq and would participate in raids into Syria. Wait a minute, I thought the Iraqi war was over, or at least we had quit; however, we did leave 3,500 troops there. On Nov. 4 Obama said, “But you know I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I said I’d end the war in Iraq. I ended the war in Iraq.” But more troops will be sent!

Senators Graham and McCain want Obama to raise the total U.S. forces in Iraq to 10,000 and send an equal number to Syria! If Obama does that, I suggest that Graham and McCain cease beating the war drums and actually lead the first incursion. Old men make wars and young men (and women) die in them.

What will these new troops in Syria and Iraq do? Will they defend themselves? What are their limitations? What will happen in a confrontation with Russian troops? In early November the BBC reported that 10,000 Russian troops were in Syria and after the Paris attack, Putin authorized 150,000 more troops! If American troops are captured, will we send troops to rescue them?

On Nov. 24, the Turks shot down a Russian plane on the Syria-Turkey border and a Russian helicopter was shot down by the US backed Syrian rebels–the Free Syrian Army with what is thought to be an American supplied TOW missile. It gets worse as Russia’s Putin ordered their best missile defense system sent to the Russian airbase in Syria in retaliation for the destruction of their plane and pilot. Some U.S. experts are preaching, predicting–maybe promoting World War III.

Syria is a maniacal, murderous, malodorous mess that should alarm the U.S. but not activate us. It calls for our attention but not action.

Just to remind younger readers of another mistake we made: Following WW II, Vietnam was divided into the Communist North and the democratic South. In July of 1950, United States military involvement in Vietnam began as Democrat President Harry Truman authorized $15 million in military aid to the French in their struggle with communists in the north. A few advisors were authorized followed by tanks, planes, artillery, and other supplies to prosecute the war.

In January of 1955 Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sent military aid and offered to train the South Vietnamese Army. We were now on a slippery slope and it finally ended with a divided America; 47,244 Americans were killed and over 334,000 were wounded; 922 U.S. airplanes shot down; hundreds of villages leveled; and a high of 543,000 American troops in Vietnam. More than 2,400 POWs/MIAs were unaccounted for as of 1973. It was America’s longest war (15 years of combat) and our first defeat ending in 1973. Our government never had any intention of winning the war. Sadly, today Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand are still controlled by tyrants!

Nixon campaigned for president on “peace with honor” but there was no honor. America troops fled Saigon as Communist troops entered the city. U.S. helicopters lifted American Marines, embassy personnel, and South Vietnamese civilian workers (who were on the commies’ death list) from the roof of the American embassy. Film footage of desperate civilians hanging onto departing helicopters is the last shameful scene in a tragic war that started with a few advisors and trainers!

Now we have advisors and trainers in Syria! We’ve seen that movie before with Vietnamese subtitles. This time subtitles are in Arabic!

Syria is a snake pit with a bunch of snakes killing each other and the U.S. should stay out. The BBC News reported that “There are believed to be as many as 1,000 armed opposition groups in Syria, commanding an estimated 100,000 fighters.” It is a tangled mess that has no reasonable solution.

Syria’s dictator Bashar Assad is a Muslim hypocrite (as was his daddy), supported by Shi’ites, an efficient killer especially when cornered, and supported by Russia fighter jets, Iran, and the terrorist group Hezbollah. However, Assad has governed the nation and provided stability and protection to Christian churches.

Assad’s opponents in the civil war are a ragtag assortment of Islamic fanatics including the Jabbat al-Nusra terrorists, who will cut the throats of their co-belligerents as soon as the Assad regime falls or is pushed over. There are Iranian, Russian, and Syrian armies already fighting ISIS on the ground (thereby helping Assad) and French, Russian, and American jets fighting from the air. American jets are pounding Assad’s conglomerate army and Russian jets are fighting Assad’s enemies. So, America is hurting Assad while Russia helping Assad! Added to this crazy mix, the Israeli air force is also flying sorties from time to time.

Assad’s enemies like to be known as ISIL, meaning the Islamic State of Iraq and the Lavant. This refers to a region stretching from southern Turkey to Egypt that includes Lebanon, Syria, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Cyprus, and Jordan. The group’s stated goal is to restore an Islamic state, or caliphate, in this entire area. ISIL is the term used by the UN and the Obama administration and using it gives the terrorists more credibility as if they actually represent all those living in the Levant–from Turkey to Egypt. The use of the term also takes attention away from Obama’s failure in Iraq. In Obama’s commencement speech at West Point on June 19 he used ISIL 16 times thereby warning the mainstream media to go along with the farcical nomenclature.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claims to be a caliphate with religious, political, and military authority over all Muslims worldwide. It controls territory with 10 million people in Syria and Iraq and has changed its name to IS or Islamic State. Obama insists on using ISIL instead of ISIS when discussing the area. There is no difference whether ISIL, ISIS, or IS; they are the same–Muslim butchers.

The free world and the UN still haven’t received the message: there is no way to beat Islamists. We can blast a nation into the Stone Age but that won’t win the war. Fact: there will be perpetual conflict as long as there are Koranic Muslims down at the local mosque–any local mosque. We will be at war and living with terror to the end of the age! The next war could very well bury Western Civilization forever as well as the barbarians living on the Arabian Desert.

Furthermore, there is the issue of national sovereignty. Who gave America the authority to invade another nation? Do we believe in national sovereignty or not? At least Russia was invited into Syria and Israel can build a good case for their attacks. Do we believe in sovereignty for us but not for “them”? No one has even tried to justify this inconsistency.

Syria: Too little too late or too much too soon? Neither, the US should not have troops there. Let Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, etc., clean up their own mess. As I wrote in 2013, the US should stay out of Syria since it is a bridge into Hell. All factions in Syria are thugs, thieves, tyrants, or terrorists and they all pray toward Mecca.

The US Air Force Secretary has admitted that “ground forces” is a must in order to “occupy” and “govern” parts of Syria; but the US should not be interested in occupying or governing any other nation. We have no more right to be there than Mexico has a right to occupy and govern San Diego, Tucson, Las Cruces or Brownsville. We have no right to be there unless we declare war.

All the Muslim states in the area are enemies of Syria and Iran so I suggest that the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, the Turks, etc., get together a massive army (Turkey has 500,000 troops in the barracks) and clean out their Muslim “brothers.” They can easily finance the operation with their oil money. They can show how ecumenical they are by rebuilding the homes of the Kurds and Christians. The US can share intelligence and strategy with the “good” guys but it is a Muslim fight.

Syria is a mess but it is not worth another American life or limb. The US has left enough American blood and limbs in that desert wasteland. The Muslims made the mess, now let them clean it up.

In fact, brutality as punishment goes back to the famous 18th century B.C. Code of Hammurabi and it may be worthwhile to note that Ham was the King of Babylon–near Bagdad, Iraq! The Hammurabi punishment for theft was the cutting off of a finger or a hand. A man’s lower lip was cut off if he kissed a married woman. Defamation was punished by cutting out the tongue. If a house collapsed killing the owner because the builder did not make it strong enough, the builder was put to death. Adultery was punished with the death of both parties by drowning, but if the husband was willing to pardon his wife, she was spared. Death was the penalty for hiding a slave. Pretty tough laws. The Mosaic code of the Hebrew nation was much more lenient.

Decapitation has been used since the beginning of time as proved by incidents recorded in the Bible. The thinking person knows that just because something is recorded in the Bible does not mean the act is recommended. The first incident in ancient literature is in Judges 5:26 (about 1250 B.C.) when an enemy of Israel, Canaanite commander Sisera, was killed. An Israeli woman drove a nail through his head while he was sleeping, then beheaded him. The message: don’t mess with Jewish women.

For centuries heads have been used for messages for proving a death, for collecting a ransom, for punishment. Ancient Greeks sent messages to dead relatives and friends by giving a message to a slave, then cutting off his head. If the Greeks forgot something, they sent another decapitated slave as a P.S.

In I Sam. 17:49-51 young David accepted Goliath’s challenge and David succeeded in knocking him down and out with his sling shot. David then took his sword and beheaded him before he could regain consciousness and carried the head to King Saul as proof of his accomplishment. David also collected on the king’s promise to give his daughter in marriage. David took Goliath’s head and got the girl’s hand.

In I Sam 31:8, 9 Saul, Israel’s first king, was found slain on the battlefield where he was beheaded by the Philistines. His body was nailed to the city wall and his head was displayed in the pagan temple of Dagon. That was the Philistines’ way of saying, “Our god is bigger than your God.” However, after about 3,500 years, most of my readers never heard of Dagon!

The New Testament reveals how John the Baptist was beheaded because he preached against King Herod taking his brother’s wife. Not much chance of modern preachers getting beheaded since most don’t do any confronting of anyone for anything at any time.

Muslims are to be blamed for originating things such as making female sexual mutilation a religious observance, temporary marriages, the burka, modern terrorism, and their fanatical religion but beheadings cannot be laid at their feet. However, they are using the gruesome practice to strike terror in everyone, friends and foes. They are saying: “Don’t mess with us. We are invincible. You will end up like this.”

ISIS uses a small, dull knife to produce a terror effect rather than a sharp sword or, better yet, an automatic rifle that would be quicker and far less messy. The American-trained Iraqi army fled from the horror of the bold, brash, beheading bandits. And there may be something of the area’s ancient culture that promotes decapitation since there are Assyrian (Nineveh–Iraq) carvings showing the king removing a victim’s head almost 3000 years ago. Since television was not available at the time, the butchers used stone wall carvings to depict their King, Sennerachib, using a short knife to saw off the head of a kneeling prisoner. All that’s missing is a cell phone camera to send the images to the world.

The Assyrians were adept at warfare using the latest in iron weapons, battering rams, three-man chariots, horse-drawn tanks, etc. They purposely sought to terrify their opponents by gouging out eyes, ripping out tongues, cutting off ears, noses, sex organs; skinning them alive, and beheading. Soldiers competed with each other as to who could acquire the most heads. Children were tortured and their flesh was sliced off and fed to wolves, dogs, etc. Now you know why Jonah was not too excited about preaching to them. He didn’t want God to spare them.

Beheading of prisoners was also done in Egypt as drawings show Pharaoh Ramses II grabbing prisoners representing three rival countries, a Syrian, Nubian, and Libyan by their hair bringing their necks up to a good angle for the ax he’s holding–whop goes the head.

However, for Islam, it is much more than using terror to terrorize their enemies and keep their followers on the reservation. Beheading is a religious duty as they follow the clear teaching in Sarah 8:12 of the Koran: “I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.” That does not reflect a “personal struggle with evil” or self-defense. It is a command to behead unbelievers. Muslims read this as a “divine” command and carry it out with gusto!

President Obama absolved Muslims of grotesque killings by saying on national television, that “ISIL is not Islamic.” Of course, he was wrong which seems to be a habit especially when Islam is an issue. After all, the terrorists say they are Muslims, attend mosques, dress like Muslims, pray toward Mecca like Muslims, talk like Muslims, raise their children to be Muslims, so of course, they are Muslims. It is embarrassing to have the leader of the free world make such a stupid statement. Everyone knows he is being politically correct, i.e. dishonest.

After British aid worker David Haines became the third Western hostage to be decapitated by Muslim terrorists, Britain’s immigration minister made a point of visiting a London mosque and declared that the beheadings “had nothing to do with Islam.” However, sane, honest, informed people know it had everything to do with Islam.

After a lady was beheaded in Oklahoma, President Obama sent a reprehensive to the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, the mosque where the beheader, Alton Nolen, attended. Obama sent a special message thanking them for their “service.” That alone is enough to require his impeachment.

No, Muslims did not originate beheadings but they have made it front page news and proved to all honest people that they are brutish, brash, bloody barbarians.
