Burkina Faso in mourning after double jihadist attacks

Burkina Faso was in mourning Wednesday after jihadists killed 35 civilians, almost all of them women, in double attacks in the north in one of the deadliest assaults in nearly five years of violence in the West African country.

Seven soldiers and 80 jihadists also died in Tuesday’s simultaneous attacks on the town of Arbinda and its military base in Soum province, which lasted “several hours” and was of a “rare intensity”, the army said.

Burkina Faso, bordering Mali and Niger, has seen regular jihadist attacks which have left hundreds dead since the start of 2015 when militant violence began to spread across the Sahel region.

“A large group of terrorists simultaneously attacked the military base and the civilian population in Arbinda,” the army chief of staff said in a statement.

“This barbaric attack resulted in the deaths of 35 civilian victims, most of them women,” President Roch Marc Christian Kabore added on Twitter, praising the “bravery and commitment” of the defence and security forces.

Government spokesman Remis Dandjinou later said 31 of the civilian victims were women, adding around 20 soldiers and six civilians were wounded.

The president has declared 48 hours of national mourning.

There was worldwide condemnation of the attack, as well as expressions of support for Burkina Faso.

– Pope’s prayers –

In his traditional Christmas message at the Vatican in Rome, Pope Francis denounced attacks on Christians in Africa and prayed for victims of conflict, natural disasters and disease on the world’s poorest continent.

The pontiff urged “comfort to those who are persecuted for their religious faith, especially missionaries and members of the faithful who have been kidnapped, and to the victims of attacks by extremist groups, particularly in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Nigeria.”

In Brussels, the head of the European Council Charles Michel tweeted: “Inates in Niger yesterday, Arbinda in Burkina Faso today… Martyr towns, victims of a rampant terrorism that threatens us all. The European Union stands by Africa in its battle against terrorism.”

Niger’s president Mahamadou Issoufou also expressed his “solidarity” and, speaking “in the name of the Nigerien people” offered his “condolences for all civilian and military victims.”

The morning raid was carried out by dozens of jihadists on motorbikes and lasted several hours before armed forces backed by the air force drove the militants back, the army said.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but jihadist violence in Burkina Faso has been blamed on militants linked to both Al Qaeda and Islamic State groups.

– 560,000 internally displaced –

Leaders of the G5 Sahel nations held summit talks in Niger earlier this month, calling for closer cooperation and international support in the battle against the Islamist threat.

Militant violence has spread across the vast Sahel region, especially in Burkina Faso and Niger, having started when armed Islamists revolted in northern Mali in 2012.

The Sahel region of Africa lies to the south of the Sahara Desert and stretches across the breadth of the African continent.

There are 4,500 French troops deployed in the region as well as a 13,000-strong UN peacekeeping force in Mali to fight insurgents.

The G5 group is made up of Chad, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania and Niger, whose impoverished armies have the support of French forces as well as the UN in Mali.

In Burkina Faso, more than 700 people have been killed and around 560,000 internally displaced, according to the United Nations.

Attacks have targeted mostly the north and east of the country, though the capital Ouagadougou has been hit three times.

Prior to Tuesday’s attack, Burkina security forces said they had killed around a hundred jihadists in several operations since November.

An ambush on a convoy transporting employees of a Canadian mining company in November killed 37 people.

Attacks have intensified this year as the under-equipped, poorly trained Burkina Faso army struggles to contain the Islamist militancy.

When is the world going to get serious about Islam and burn that satanic cult and all its cultists to the ground? When?

Sadly, it just may be when Jesus returns.

The further our leaders move Left, the more antiChristian and strangely Islamophilic they become. And because of that and the lack of courage by anybody who is supposed to be on the Right will mean Islam will continue to gain strength.

But there is hope. Many Christians are leading Muslims to Christ and the Holy Spirit is even leading many out of Islam. Perhaps this trend will neutralize Islam before its too late.

Did you know that in the Muslim holy book the Quran, Jesus knew that he would be raised alive? It also says that God created Christianity? Jesus was one of the nearest to God even before he was born. Quran 3:45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest to God (even before he was born). Then Mary continued the conversation, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” (Jesus, created by God, because God does whatever he wants).
Quran 3:54-55, …God is the best planner. God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating you and raising you to me so that those who follow you will be superior to unbelievers and return to me on resurrection day and see judgment.” And that is the creation of Christianity.
Quran 3:48, God will teach Jesus the scripture, the wisdom, the Torah and the gospel (the Holy Bible). Quran 19:30, Jesus said, “I am the servant of God. He has Given me the scripture and made me a prophet. Quran 19:33, So peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I get resurrected alive. Quran 3:50-53, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me. God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path. Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said to Jesus, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit to the one true God. Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger Jesus so count us among the witnesses.” And 600 years later the military and religious Mohammed was born and beginning around age forty he started and fought in about forty wars and beheaded 1000’s of people who wouldn’t join his religion which says be nice and do good things, and hate unbelievers so you can go to Paradise when you die.
If God created you what would you call him?

Yes… not sure of others are aware of those versus. Though it seems Muslims don’t tend to interpret them as you have, that is their clear or plain interpretation. Naturally, Muslims have to deny what Mohammad said about Jesus and reinterpret it because not even Mohammad believed what he was saying which is clear by his later actions. It seems he only included those things to try to convince Christians that he is the follow up prophet after Jesus.

Ultimately Islam has no explanation for why Jesus had such a miraculous birth, was sin free and was able to perform miracles while the supposed seal of the prophet wasn’t sin free and had no miracles other than the giving of the Quran (I would content that the greater miracle is that anybody would freely believe such rantings). The idea of Messiah (or Masi in the Arabic pronunciation) is simply that someone poured oil on Jesus which seems to have no other explanatory purpose.

Even the passage that states that Jesus will die and rise again is put off because Quran 4:157 implies that Jesus wasn’t killed on the cross leading many Muslims to think that somehow God replaced Jesus with Judas or someone and took Jesus up to heaven without getting killed but only leaving the impression that Jesus was killed for no apparent reason other than to create a false religion based on the impression God accidentally left when replacing Jesus with an impostor who made it appear to them that Jesus was killed. To be honest, a more honest reading of Quran 4:157 isn’t that Jesus didn’t die on the cross but as a distortion of John 10:18 where Jesus says no one is taking his life but he is giving his life. So, the Quranic verse is most likely saying that anybody who claims to take Jesus’ life is mistaken because Jesus freely gave his life as a ransom for our sin.

Islam clearly has things from several religions in it. It appears that Mohammad heard things that he liked and tried to create a religious following based on these things and part of that attempt to create his religion, he tried to recruit followers from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. It seems he wasn’t able to convince any Jews nor Christians except through force.

Then Mary continued the conversation, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”

The funny thing about this passage it it agrees with the Christian Bible’s perspective. But because Christians call Jesus the Son of God and Islam has a strange concept of the “3” which includes God and Mary (as in father and mother of Jesus through sexual relations) Muslims always attempt to object to the Christian Trinity and Jesus’ identity as Son of God. Muslims say, “God can’t have a son because he does not have a consort” as suggested in Quran 39:4. But I reminded a Muslim I once interacted with that God doesn’t not need to father a child as we humans do… he merely needs to say be and it is… to which the Muslim could not longer legitimately disagree with me… so he changed his objection… naturally.

Why isn’t Pamela Geller spreading the good news in the Muslim holy book the Quran. In Qur’an 3:54-55 …God is the best planner (he planned Christianity, a true religion). God speaks, “O Jesus, I am terminating you and raising you to me so that those who follow you will be Superior to unbelievers and return to me on resurrection day and see judgment day.” Jesus speaks in Quran 19:33, “Peace be upon me the day I was born, on the day I die and on the day I am risen alive.”

There are many artifacts of the Christian faith that Mohammad in his “genius” included in the Quran and other things captured in Hadith.

But an honest Muslim will say the Allah of Islam is the greatest deceiver. But, as you point out, in Allah’s attempt to fool the Romans and Jews into thinking they were crucifying Jesus, Allah only made it appear that way. Thus the all knowing and all powerful Allah created a false religion that is greater than Islam which is Christianity. Makes Allah appear to be rather ignorant.

As for Jesus stating he would die and resurrect, because Muslims have to deny that Jesus died on the cross because of Quran 4:157.

An interesting passage in the Quran which is repeated in various places states that no bearer of sin can bear the sin of another. In addition, the Quran asserts that, even though Mohammad was a sinner, Jesus was without sin. Then in Hadith sahih Muslim 6668 (or 2767 on sunnah.com) is says “there would come people amongst the Muslims on the day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jew and the Christian…”

Putting these together the sinless Jew/Christian onto whom you can heap your sin is none other than Christ Himself. Jesus alone is without sin and died to pay for our sin. The part Muslims don’t know is the piling of our sin onto Jesus only happens when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. It isn’t automatic for Muslims or anybody else, in other words Jesus’ offer to pay out debt depends on us asking him to pay it for us… it’s offered, we have to accept it.

So as Mohammad tried to make his manmade religion seem appealing to Christians he captured elements of Christianity without realizing what he’d captured.

ISLAM comes from evil roots and is DEMONIC. Your own Quran says as much, so I DOUBT after anyone reads the following Quranic verses, they will believe your FAUX FAKE PEACE BECAUSE Islam is anything but peace. ISLAM LIES AND DECEIVES, EXACTLY LIKE SATAN DOES, FOOL.

Quran (2:191-193) – “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing…

Quran (2:244) – “Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things.”

Quran (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.” Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot.

Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”. This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be ‘joining companions to Allah’).

Quran (4:74) – “Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.” The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. This is the theological basis for today’s suicide bombers.

Quran (4:76) – “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…”

Quran (4:89) – “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”

Quran (4:95) – “Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward ” This passage criticizes “peaceful” Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah’s eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that “Jihad” doesn’t mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is this Arabic word (mujahiduna) used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man’s protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad, which would not make sense if it meant an internal struggle). According to the verse, Allah will allow the disabled into Paradise, but will provide a larger reward to those who are able to kill others in his cause.

Quran (4:104) – “And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain…” Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?

Quran (5:33) – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement”

Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.

Quran (8:15) – “O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey’s end.”

Quran (8:39) – “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah” Some translations interpret “fitna” as “persecution”, but the traditional understanding of this word is not supported by the historical context (See notes for 2:193). The Meccans were simply refusing Muhammad access to their city during Haj. Other Muslims were allowed to travel there – just not as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared war on Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were also acting in defense of their religion, since it was Muhammad’s intention to destroy their idols and establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence the critical part of this verse is to fight until “religion is only for Allah”, meaning that the true justification of violence was the unbelief of the opposition. According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324) Muhammad further explains that “Allah must have no rivals.”

Quran (8:57) – “If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.”

Quran (8:67) – “It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land…”

Quran (8:59-60) – “And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah’s Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy.”

Quran (8:65) – “O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight…”

Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” According to this verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim violence is to convert to Islam (prayer (salat) and the poor tax (zakat) are among the religion’s Five Pillars). This popular claim that the Quran only inspires violence within the context of self-defense is seriously challenged by this passage as well, since the Muslims to whom it was written were obviously not under attack. Had they been, then there would have been no waiting period (earlier verses make it a duty for Muslims to fight in self-defense, even during the sacred months). The historical context is Mecca after the idolaters were subjugated by Muhammad and posed no threat. Once the Muslims had power, they violently evicted those unbelievers who would not convert.

Quran (9:14) – “Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people.” Humiliating and hurting non-believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment and even “healing” the hearts of Muslims.

Quran (9:20) – “Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah’s way are of much greater worth in Allah’s sight. These are they who are triumphant.” The Arabic word interpreted as “striving” in this verse is the same root as “Jihad”. The context is obviously holy war.

Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” “People of the Book” refers to Christians and Jews. According to this verse, they are to be violently subjugated, with the sole justification being their religious status. Verse 9:33 tells Muslims that Allah has charted them to make Islam “superior over all religions.” This chapter was one of the final “revelations” from Allah and it set in motion the tenacious military expansion, in which Muhammad’s companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the Christian world in the next 100 years. Islam is intended to dominate all other people and faiths.

Quran (9:30) – “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”

Quran (9:38-39) – “O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.” This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell.

Quran (9:41) – “Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.” See also the verse that follows (9:42) – “If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them” This contradicts the myth that Muslims are to fight only in self-defense, since the wording implies that battle will be waged a long distance from home (in another country and on Christian soil, in this case, according to the historians).

Quran (9:73) – “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.” Dehumanizing those who reject Islam, by reminding Muslims that unbelievers are merely firewood for Hell, makes it easier to justify slaughter. It also explains why today’s devout Muslims have little regard for those outside the faith.

Quran (9:88) – “But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.”

Quran (9:111) – “Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Quran: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.” How does the Quran define a true believer?

Quran (9:123) – “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.”

Quran (17:16) – “And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.” Note that the crime is moral transgression, and the punishment is “utter destruction.” (Before ordering the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden first issued Americans an invitation to Islam).

Quran (18:65-81) – This parable lays the theological groundwork for honor killings, in which a family member is murdered because they brought shame to the family, either through apostasy or perceived moral indiscretion. The story (which is not found in any Jewish or Christian source) tells of Moses encountering a man with “special knowledge” who does things which don’t seem to make sense on the surface, but are then justified according to later explanation. One such action is to murder a youth for no apparent reason (74). However, the wise man later explains that it was feared that the boy would “grieve” his parents by “disobedience and ingratitude.” He was killed so that Allah could provide them a ‘better’ son. (Note: This is one reason why honor killing is sanctioned by Sharia. Reliance of the Traveler (Umdat al-Saliq) says that punishment for murder is not applicable when a parent or grandparent kills their offspring (o.1.1-2).)

Quran (21:44) – “We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?”

Quran (25:52) – “Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness…” “Strive against” is Jihad – obviously not in the personal context. It’s also significant to point out that this is a Meccan verse.

Quran (33:60-62) – “If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.” This passage sanctions the slaughter (rendered “merciless” and “horrible murder” in other translations) against three groups: Hypocrites (Muslims who refuse to “fight in the way of Allah” (3:167) and hence don’t act as Muslims should), those with “diseased hearts” (which include Jews and Christians 5:51-52), and “alarmists” or “agitators who include those who merely speak out against Islam, according to Muhammad’s biographers. It is worth noting that the victims are to be sought out by Muslims, which is what today’s terrorists do. If this passage is meant merely to apply to the city of Medina, then it is unclear why it is included in Allah’s eternal word to Muslim generations.

Quran (47:3-4) – “Those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord… So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah’s Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)… If it had been Allah’s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.” Those who reject Allah are to be killed in Jihad. The wounded are to be held captive for ransom. The only reason Allah doesn’t do the dirty work himself is to to test the faithfulness of Muslims. Those who kill pass the test.

Quran (47:35) – “Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost (Shakir: “have the upper hand”) for Allah is with you,”

Quran (48:17) – “There is no blame for the blind, nor is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom.” Contemporary apologists sometimes claim that Jihad means ‘spiritual struggle.’ Is so, then why are the blind, lame and sick exempted? This verse also says that those who do not fight will suffer torment in hell.

Quran (48:29) – “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves” Islam is not about treating everyone equally. This verse tells Muslims that there are two very distinct standards that are applied based on religious status. Also the word used for ‘hard’ or ‘ruthless’ in this verse shares the same root as the word translated as ‘painful’ or severe’ to describe Hell in over 25 other verses including 65:10, 40:46 and 50:26..

Quran (61:4) – “Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way” Religion of Peace, indeed! The verse explicitly refers to “battle array” meaning that it is speaking of physical conflict. This is followed by (61:9): “He it is who has sent His Messenger (Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions even though the infidels may resist.” (See next verse, below). Infidels who resist Islamic rule are to be fought.

Quran (61:10-12) – “O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment. That you believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad ), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of ‘Adn – Eternity [‘Adn (Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great success.” This verse refers to physical battle in order to make Islam victorious over other religions (see above). It uses the Arabic word, Jihad.

Quran (66:9) – “O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey’s end.” The root word of “Jihad” is used again here. The context is clearly holy war, and the scope of violence is broadened to include “hypocrites” – those who call themselves Muslims but do not act as such.

OH, and THERE IS NOTHING HOLY ABOUT THE QURAN………..not a thing. The Quran never mentions:
1. holiness
2. righteousness
3. FORGIVENESS (of sins or of others)
4. grace and mercy (together).

AND, YOU WANT PEOPLE TO believe ISLAM IS PEACE? There, I just PROVED that ISLAM is a lie of Satan and YOU ARE THE TARGET and anyone else who converts to that satanic ideology of hatred.

NO THANKS. Geller and the rest of us INTELLIGENT people who can actually THINK FOR OURSELVES and CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES, know this, EXCEPT YOU AND MANY OTHER UNINTELLIGENT AND PUPPETS OF THE DEVIL. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. ONLY SATAN DOES THAT. If you believe in RIGHT AND WRONG, then someone SPIRITUAL has to be the devil and someone SPIRITUALLY has to be God. There is ONLY righteousness and unrighteousness on this earth. Anything in the middle is unrighteousness because it has not chosen to be righteous. Therefore, SATAN IS UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and JESUS IS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jesus knew no sin at all because JESUS WAS GOD IN THE FLESH.

Yea, there will be NO PEACE for you until you come to JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. Only JESUS is the peacemaker, but he will also bring a sword. YOU CANNOT AND WILL NEVER ENTER HEAVEN OR ETERNITY WITHOUT GOING THROUGH JESUS FIRST. There are no 72 virgins because there is NO SEX IN HEAVEN because we will be in spiritual form. THINK, THINK, THINK ABOUT THAT ALONE. You have been deceived, but IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU, if you will just ask Jesus/God to show you HIS truth. Your soul will live forever, so be sure you KNOW without a doubt where you will go when you die and know the ONLY way you will live in that PEACE for eternity. Without Jesus, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW REAL AND LASTING PEACE.

I WILL pray for you in spite of my righteous anger against your satanic beliefs against non-Muslim people. THAT IS WHO JESUS IS, NOT A MUSLIM. Jesus is the SON OF GOD and he came and died on the cross JUST FOR YOU. Jesus was NOT a prophet. HE IS THE SON OF GOD. Better find HIM before Satan gets YOU for eternity.

JESUS IS THE REAL PEACE.

So we should bring the jihadists here to America, give them jobs. Then they can join our own filthy jihadists in congress. How does that sound?

Send in a large team of South African mercenaries and they’ll have it cleared up in two months.
No half measures and No mercy when it comes the this islamist scum.
