JRH 7/4/08 ************************** The Esposito School Posted by Bill Warner By David Bukay July 1, 2008 Political Islam Chief of the Dhimmis Sun Tsu speaks of two kinds of enemies in The Art of War. There is the "far enemy" and the "near enemy". Islam defines itself to be the far enemy of all kafirs (unbelievers). The near enemy is the dhimmi. A dhimmi is a kafir who serves Islam. In the beginning of the jihad against our kafir civilization, most of the actual work of attacking our civilization is being done by the near enemy, the dhimmi. When the State department starts controlling the language of memos and forbids the use of the word "jihad", that is an action by non-Muslims, dhimmis. It was not a Muslim who issued the directive. The dhimmi is the puppet of Islam. It is not that Islam is so strong, but that kafirs are so weak and ignorant that they become dhimmis. There is a hierarchy of dhimmis. At the top of the dhimmi-chain are names such as Bernard Lewis, a Jewish scholar of Islam, and Karen Armstrong, a biographer of Mohammed. But none can top John Esposito in dhimmitude.

What is surprising is that once you have a measure (metric) for Mohammed, you also have a measurement of our dhimmitude. It is an ugly and disgusting result. THE SIRA: The totality of Islam is belief in the perfect truth of the Koran and following the Sunna of Mohammed. The Sunna is the actions and words of the perfect pattern of life, Mohammed. The Sunna is contained in the Sira and the Hadith (the Traditions of Mohammed). The Sira is half of the defining, foundational texts that determine the Sunna. The other half of the Sunna is the Hadith. The Islamic "Bible" is the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith. The Sira is the life of Mohammed. There are three versions of the Sira given by three authors--Ibn Ishaq, al-Tabari, and Ibn Sa'd. They tell the same story, except for small details. Ishaq's Sira is the oldest and the most authoritative. Ishaq's Sira is a Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:18:15 -0500 http://www.slantright.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1260 John R.

This is all good because it is a rare time that most Americans put aside political differences for a day of fun and entertainment. Unfortunately I suspect it is a day that most Americans do not comprehend the blood, sweat and personal sacrifice that American Revolutionaries experienced in gaining the freedom of self-governance from a then one of the most powerful nations in the world – Great Britain. The Brits certainly looked upon the upstart Revolutionaries as political gnats daring to with stand British sovereignty and a threat to the colonial system of economics that benefited the British Empire. Ergo the Brits of the day decided to squash the pipsqueak American colonials by any means necessary to preserve British honor and economics (certainly an overstated simplification on my part but you get the idea). What the Brits did not understand is that American colonialism developed under two premises: Individuals and groups seeking a better economic life unattainable in the Mother England AND religious refugees that honored God but not necessarily accepted by the State Church of England.

The European Left which is the main governing force of much of Europe has been looking the other way or down right denying that Mohammedan males are singling out European women to be victims of rape. I suspect the reason for that is there is a significant population of Mohammedans in European nations and the Left does not know how to deal with religion or race origin violence. The European Left has been so caught up in the concept of Politically Correct multi-cultural diversity they cannot see the reality down their utopian blinded noses. The religion of peace is obviously not so peaceful toward non-Mohammedan women. Muslim epidemic continues as reported by Islam in Action (excerpt): As a young woman of 21 years of age was attacked and raped at a train station in Brussels. She was told they were doing this because she did not have a veil on. Once again Muslims show us that they are not in our countries to assimilate. They are here to force their religion and culture on us. Can some one please tell me why we continue to allow Muslims into our non-Islamic countries? When will we learn? When will enough be enough?

If you vote for Obama you are definitely voting for change; however I assure you it is not the kind of change that derails politics as usual as Obama implies. A vote for Obama will be a Vote for fringe Leftist Utopianism that will lead America on a path to socialism and multi-cultural diversity (meaning the enfranchisement of illegal aliens and the incorporation of foreign cultural laws –Sharia Law – into our culture).

Then it became obvious that these Islamic radicals had the ability to exact global terrorism that affects the global economy in a negative way in the West. Israel has had to deal with this threat from the very time of its modern inception in 1948 when surrounding Arab nations thought they would annihilate Jewish Israelis in a second Holocaust terminating a Jewish homeland before it could even get started.

The soundly outnumbered Israelis not only repulsed the 1948 invasion, but it has successfully repulsed several other invasions since 1948.

Heller. JRH 6/27/08 **************************** U.S. Supreme Court Issues Landmark Ruling Affirming an Individual Second Amendment Right to Own a Handgun The Rutherford Institute 6/26/08 WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller has affirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. The main issue before the Court was whether the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own guns or merely sets forth the collective right of states to maintain militias. In their amicus brief to the Supreme Court, attorneys for The Rutherford Institute argued that the Framers of the Constitution intended that the Second Amendment right to possess arms apply to individuals as a guarantor against tyrannical government. Believing that the constitutional right to bear arms is one of the most basic freedoms our nation affords its citizens, Institute attorneys filed their brief in defense of Dick Heller’s right to own a handgun and to keep it at home.

Also, the column to which this is referring says that Sen. Obama should have let sleeping dogs lie. But the dogs were not sleeping. They were attacking him for having DELIBERATELY distorted the Bible (a book of profound importance to any Christian). I understand that Sen. Obama should be careful in insinuating that James Dobson is a liar, but if you listen to Sen. Obama's actual speech in 2006 at Call to Renewal and then listen to James Dobson criticism, I think there is very little doubt that Sen.

The right for Americans to bear arms on an individual basis was upheld by SCOTUS. Here is a person favorable to the SCOTUS ruling: The Supreme Court got it right! The court ruled that an absolute ban on handguns is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. Our founding fathers were inartful if not clumsy when they drafted the Second Amendment’s preamble which referred to the need for a “well regulated militia.” Anti-gun advocates have seized on that preamble for decades to argue that the Constitution only allows for guns for military, not for the general citizenry. But a clearer reading of the full text of the Second Amendment makes it clear that the Amendment covers the right for all people, not just military, to “bear arms.” This ruling means that an absolute ban on handguns will not pass constitutional muster, but a reasonable limitation on handguns will. Now every state and county will need to figure out what such reasonable limitations mean…so look for more cases on that one. - By Lis Wiehl (FOX News Legal Analyst) Here is Senator McCain’s response to the Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:33:41 -0500 http://www.slantright.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1246 Well he kind of does, as a typical politician Obama made words discrediting Dobson’s criticism in such a way that it sounded like calling Dobson a liar in such a way that Obama could claim plausible deniability.

"Any notion that I was distorting the Bible in that speech, I think anyone would be hard pressed to make that argument," Obama told reporters on board his press plane Tuesday night. (CNN) Obama said this in reference to a radio broadcast by Dobson: Dr. James Dobson responds to a speech made by Barack Obama in which the presidential candidate, while discussing the role of religion in government, compares Dr. Dobson to political activist the Rev. Al Sharpton. Dr. Dobson also updates listeners on the battle to preserve traditional marriage in Arizona, and pays tribute to late broadcast journalist Tim Russert.

Those of you who call yourselves moderates and Slanted Right need to educate yourself and (God Please!) be aware there is an Islamic agenda. Although that agenda is funded by radical Muslims (Sunni and Shia), that agenda is extremely influential on the thinking of Muslims who publicly abhor the violence perpetuated by radical Islamic terrorists. How or why is that possible? Because there is a silent movement among well funded Islamists to silently slide into Western finance and economy with concepts of Sharia Finance. The Capitalists of the West buy into it because if it makes a profit it cannot be bad. Western Leftists of ignorant of Sharia Finance because of their blind concepts of egalitarianism that chooses to humanistically accept Mohammedans as multi-cultural equals not realizing that Mohammedans do not share Western egalitarianism. What I am saying my fellow Americans and deluded Europeans is this: Wealthy Mohammedans influenced by Wahhabi/Muslim Brotherhood Sunnis or Twelver Shi’ites are utilizing the West’s own laws and financial institutions like the devil in Eden deceiving Eve. You know: bite this fruit of Islamist funding and endowments and the money will make you wise. Unfortunately the deception is to systematically tear down Western Culture and ease Islamic Culture in its place. It is almost as if the transnational terrorists are an armed distraction while the little foxes enter the hen house and eat the chickens and their progeny and the farmer is off hunting for big wolves. I have yet another long essay for you to read that paints a clear picture of that which I am writing.

Mohammedanism has different terms for peace that has different degrees of understanding in which the Western geopolitical mind has a difficult time in grasping diplomatically. Not too long ago Egypt brokered (what the MSM called) a truce between Israel and Hamas of Gazastan. The MSM called the truce an Islamic hudna which apparently is a temporary peace; nonetheless certain members of the Israeli government were dubious of the reasons Hamas agreed to the said hudna. Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan Halevi explains why the term hudna is not the appropriate word to use in this so-called truce between Israel and Hamas. JRH 6/23/08 (Hat tip ICJS Research) ************************* The Hamas Interest in the Tahdiya (Temporary Truce) with Israel Jonathan Dahoah Halevi Vol. 8, No. 4 19 June 2008 Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs • Hamas regards the temporary cease-fire as a tahdiya and not a hudna. A tahdiya - "a period of calm" - is used by Hamas to describe a simple cease-fire. A hudna implies recognition of the other party's actual existence, without acknowledging its legitimacy. • In an interview with Al-Jazeera (April 26, 2008), Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal clarified that for Hamas, a tahdiya is "a tactic in conflict management." He added that it "is not unusual for the resistance...to escalate sometimes and to retreat a bit sometimes as the tide does....The tahdiya creates a formulation that will force Israel...to remove the siege...and if it happens it will be a remarkable achievement." • Official sources in Israel have explained that Hamas' interest in a lull in the fighting is a result of its "distress." But the organization did not experience "distress." Hamas has introduced and maintained law and order in Gaza, strengthened its overall control, suppressed opposition, and achieved broad popular support for its policies. • An important objective for Hamas is winning the Palestinian presidential election, which will be held when Mahmoud Abbas finishes his term of office in December. The lull will permit Hamas to prepare the field to take over from Abbas. Hamas is liable to claim that, according to Palestinian law, administrative authority should be passed on to the chairman of the parliament, who is a Hamas leader, or should be decided by the parliament itself, where Hamas has an overwhelming majority. • One diplomatic consequence of the tahdiya will be increasing pressure on Israel to accept a future reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah. That could lead to increasing demands on Israel to negotiate a permanent status arrangement with a joint Hamas-Fatah government, while Hamas remains committed to its political program of the elimination of Israel. • The cease-fire also grants Hamas a golden opportunity to expand its military build-up for the next round of terror and violence. Emulating Hizbullah's strategy, Hamas is striving to acquire longer-range and more destructive missiles to be used for deterrence and as a sword on Israel's neck.

It placed Barr in a position of running against an incumbent Democratic Party Representative with his base gerrymandered to win.

The GOP is already counter-spinning that an intelligent Republican will understand a vote for now Libertarian Barr is really a vote for Obama. My fascination with Barr becoming the Libertarian nominee for President is that primarily he is Slanted Right on most issues and was a virulent pursuer of staining the Clinton legacy. Now this fascinates me because the Libertarians have lately evolved into fiscal Conservatives yet nearly to the fringe Left on social issues.

JRH ******************* The Arabic words 'nasikh' and 'mansukh' are both derived from the same root word, 'n.s.kh.', which means 'to abolish, to replace, to withdraw, to abrogate'. It appears four times in the Qur'an, and also comes out with high amplification because the Qur'an is inherently confused. The Muslims deeply believed that the Qur'an is perfect and above and beyond human perceptions. It is miraculous (i`ajaz) and has been revealed for all times and situations from the beginning of history to the end of the world. However, the many repetitions in the Qur'an, the arbitrary order, the mixture of styles and genres are indicative of human process in its creation. The Surahs were not given to Muhammad in one piece but verse by verse, and in the Qur'an's collection some later verses were added to earlier. The order in which the Qur'an was assembled was not done chronologically but according to the length of the chapters and the Qur'an being collated piecemeal, exacerbates the determination of the age of the verses and their orderly appearance. This is the reason why so many Islamic exegetes have investigated this realm and developed it almost as a science called Asbab al-Nuzul, the reasons of revelations. The root s.b.b. appears over 11 times in the Qur'an, and the root n.z.l. means to descend or send down. For Abu al-Hassan Ali Ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi an-Naisaburi (d. 1075), a renowned classical scholar of the Qur'an, the knowledge of the reasons of revelations (ma`rifat asbab al-nuzul) becomes crucially important. He is considered the father of this approach, which he finds out to be the basis of all exegesis. The knowledge about Tafsir of the verses is not possible without occupying oneself with their stories and explanation of the reasons for their revelation. Abu Muhammad 'Ali Ibn Ahmad Ibn Sa`id Ibn Hazm (d. 1064), an Andalusian theologian, philosopher, historian and jurist, has detailed the issue of abrogation to an extent of linguistic analysis, examined the Qur'an Surah by Surah and showed the abrogating and the abrogated in each of them. Arthur Jeffery, the well-known Islamic scholar, explains: The Qur'an is unique among sacred scriptures in teaching a doctrine of abrogation according to which later pronouncements of the Prophet abrogate, i.e.: declare null and void, his earlier pronouncements. The importance of knowing which verses abrogate others has given rise to the Qur'anic science known as 'Nasikh wa-Mansukh,' i.e. the Abrogators and the Abrogated. So, rather than attempting to explain away the inconsistencies in passages giving regulations for the Muslim community, Qur'an scholars and jurists came to acknowledge the differences while arguing that the latest verse on any controversial subject abrogates all earlier verses that contradicted it. Another problem with al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh is in defining accurately which verses are Nasikh, and which are Mansukh.

Houk © June 21, 2008 Well I am still trying to catch up on my e-newsletter reading. I am a bit behind. I just finished reading a Political Islam e-newsletter posted by Bill Warner; however the essay is by Dr. David Bukay (Ph. D.), a teacher of Political Science at the University of Haifa in Israel. I’ll let Bill Warner continue the introduction of Dr. Bukay. Dr. Bukay’s theme is the Mohammedan concept of “Abrogation.” I was enthralled by the reading because the essay has brought further clarity about the Mohammedan propaganda that Mohammedanism is a religion of peace. Dr. Bukay is specific on how the “Abrogation” doctrine in Mohammedanism demonstrates that Mohammedans that tell Westerners that “Jihad” is an inner struggle for peace and not an outer violent struggle to violently spread Mohammedanism to the Kafir (infidels) or enslave them or kill them. When I read this essay I thought of a clear difference between Mohammedanism and Christianity. That difference being Mohammedans “Abrogate” certain (considered) holy writings to abrogate other holy writings. I’ll allow Dr. Bukay to enlighten you on the specifics which he does way better than I could. Being a Christian Right kind of guy this Biblical Scripture leaped into my mind: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Houk © June 20, 2008 Scott McClellan has created quite the stir by writing a book insinuating purposely manipulated information to get the public and Democrats on board to invade Iraq. Now the House Judiciary Committee is giving McClellan free publicity for his book “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.” The Committee listened to McClellan testimony concerning the outing of Valerie Plame as a covert CIA spy. Like McClellan can shed any light after Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was only able to convict one person (Scooter Libby). Libby’s conviction was not even for outing Plame. Libby was hunted down by Fitzgerald because Libby’s memory was conflicted enough that he was convicted of perjury. The guy that did out Plame was an anti-Bush RINO Richard Armitage in which Fitzgerald KNEW was the culprit. The image is that prosecution did not follow through for Armitage because of his anti-Bush stance. Fitzgerald had to convict somebody to justify the waste of taxpayer money so he entrapped Libby with testimony based on memory. Shucks partner, I sometimes forget why I walked into the kitchen in five minute period of time and Libby was convicted because his memory events did not line up from years in the past. All well, that is another story. Now a Democratic Party controlled Judiciary Committee is wasting taxpayer money by show casing McClellan about Plame. The reality is the Democrats are show casing McClellan to Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:48:40 -0500 http://www.slantright.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1238 John R. Houk © June 19, 2008 Ted Bellman believes a peace deal has been made between Israel and Syria. Apparently Israel has working behind closed doors under Turkish mediation to cut yet another land for peace scheme with Syria. Bellman suspects there is a relationship with Egypt mediated truce between Israel and Hamas. It all boils down to the apparent success of convincing Arabs and Sunni minded Turks that Shi’ite Iran has become so much of a threat to the ruling Sunni Elites of the Middle East, that they are willing to make serious deals to legitimize Israel in order to focus on Iran. It would be a huge coup to get Syria on board with the other Arab nations and Turkey and out of the Iranian orbit. The thing is I do not trust it. Assad of Syria has signed military pacts with Iran. Syria and Iran has been a conduit to provide sophisticated weaponry to Shi’ite Hezbollah of Lebanon to the detriment of Sunni Muslims and Christian Arabs of the same nation. Since Hezbollah is a puppet of Iran with a goal to eradicate Israel, there is an essence of treachery in the air. Another thing to consider is Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:12:03 -0500
