Singing la la la

2014_07 Obama did nothing for Meriam Ibrahim

The whole ordeal allegedly began when Meriam Ibrahim’s half brother and half sister cooked up the idea that, if they turned her in to the Sudanese Muslim court, they could take possession of her assets.

Although Meriam was raised in her mother’s Ethiopian Orthodox faith and is married to her American Christian husband, the barbaric Sudanese court found her guilty of apostasy and adultery. She was sentenced to 100 lashes to be followed by hanging.

While awaiting the birth of her second child, Meriam and her toddler son were locked up in the the filthy women’s prison at Omdurman where Meriam was forced to give birth with her legs shackled to the floor.

Meriam is Sudanese; her husband and children are AMERICAN CITIZENS.

  • The British Embassy coordinated meetings between Meriam and her lawyers.
  • The Canadian Embassy donated an air-conditioning unit and other items to assist during and after the difficult birth.
  • When international pressure finally forced the Sudanese government to release Meriam and the children, the Italian government sent a plane and a government official to fly the family to Rome, where Pope Francis met with them privately.

Throughout this entire ordeal, Barack Obama said and did exactly NOTHING.

  • If you’re gay, he will declare on your special day that you should never have to face violence or discrimination.
  • If you’re crossing the Rio Grande illegally, INS will ignore the fact that you’re a felon who has been thrown out of the country repeatedly.

But if you’re the Christian wife of an American who has been shackled in a prison by a barbaric Muslim government with your tiny American son and daughter, the Obama administration will put their collective fingers in their ears and sing la la la.

Update: ISIS in Iraq

2014_07 26 ISIS blows up Jonah's tomb

The Mosque of the Prophet Younis (Jonah) was built on an archaeological site dating back to the eighth century BC and is said to be the burial place of the prophet, who in stories from both the Bible and Qur’an is swallowed by a whale.

It was renovated in the 1990s under Iraq’s late dictator Saddam Hussein and, until the recent blitz by Isis that engulfed Mosul, remained a popular destination for religious pilgrims from around the world.

Islamic State (ISIS) militants BLEW IT UP, because they decided it had become a place for apostasy, not prayer. They also blew up another place of worship nearby on Thursday, the Imam Aoun Bin al-Hassan mosque.

The ISIS militants have seized a huge chunk of territory straddling the Iraq-Syria border, and have declared a self-styled caliphate in the territory they control. They’ve been destroying Christian places of worship and targeting Christians and their homes and businesses. They are also cutting off water to Christians and Kurds in regions they do not control.

This is the first I’ve heard of them going after Muslims who aren’t Muslim enough to suit them. During a fundraiser this week, President Obama described the situation in Iraq as “the failure in Iraq for Sunni and Shia and Kurd to compromise.”

Words fail me.

For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is empty of Christians.

2014_07 18 Mosul Christians flee ISIS

Extremist Muslims hang homosexuals, oppose abortion, and oppress, maim and even murder their own women. Yet the Left supports them.  Why?  Because they HATE and MURDER both Christians and Jews.  Is there any clearer sign who the Left is really serving?  If you still aren’t sure, check the dedication page of their favorite handbook, Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

Google Stalking the Number of the Beast

The number of the Beast is named only once, in Revelation 13:18. It is usually given as 666, but some ancient Greek texts give it as 616.

In some manuscripts, the number is written out literally – ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ = pron. hexakósioi hexēkonta héx = meaning six-hundred sixty six.  (TRIVIA: Fear of the number 666 is hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.)

In other manuscripts, the number is written in Greek numerals.

Greek numerals 600, 60, 10, 6

Below are two 3d century examples of papyrus manuscripts, one that has 666 and one that has 616. Since Greek used letters to also stand for numerals, numerals have a line over the top.

P47 late 3d c ms 666 Byz txt

P115 late 3d c ms 616 Byz txt

The 4th c. Greek manuscript known as Codex Vaticanus (because it is owned by the Vatican) is widely considered to be the most important of all the early manuscripts of the Christian Bible. In the 19th c., a facsimile edition was printed to give scholars access to the contents of this unique and fragile book.

Codex Vaticanus Rev 13 18 666

Former Muslim Walid Shoebat says that when he saw the symbols for 666 in the Codex Vaticanus, he saw “In the name of Allah” written in Arabic beside the crossed swords of Islam.  [See the video posted @ https://polination.wordpress.com/2014/05/18/more-insight-into-the-mark-of-the-beast/.%5D

666 and Bismallah

As I noted in my May 18, 2014 blog, I think the Holy Spirit provided all three interpretations for our benefit. In other words, it’s not 616 or 666 or In the name of Allah. It’s all three.

I’ve been writing a lot lately about the 616 and 666 angle. I doubt I’ll ever have much to say about Islam, since I know next to nothing about it. But I did see one interesting possibility in Shoebat’s interpretation.

A year ago, I wrote about why I believe the “Millennium” refers to the Age of the Gentiles, from the death of Jesus until the beginning of the final Week of the Jews. I explained my reasoning @ https://polination.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/why-i-think-the-millennium-is-now/.

There was one passage in Revelation that (as I noted) did not fit with my interpretation:

Revelation 20:4 “I saw the souls of those … who had not worshiped the beast or its image nor had accepted its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”

If accepting the mark of the beast on forehead or hand is strictly a final Week of the Jews thing, then my “Millennium is now” interpretation has a real problem. However, if Shoebat is correct that one meaning for the beast’s mark is this Muslim thing … well, that’s been around for more than a thousand years, which neatly does away with my little problem.

Hashtag diplomacy

WEEKS after a Nigerian activist launched the #BringBackOurGirls campaign that helped get journalists interested in the terrorist kidnapping of 276 Nigerian schoolgirls, FLOTUS used her massive personal influence to further the cause of rescuing the girls before their savage kidnappers sell them into slavery.

She sent a tweet.

2014_05 07 Michelle hashtagBringBackOurGirls

Via Twitchy:

  • Your husband is President and a hashtag on twitter is the best you can do?!?
  • Changing the world. Failure.
  • Yeah, that hashtag is literally the least you can do.
  • There’s something peculiarly end of civilization about the First Lady’s tweet.
  • Surely a hashtag will tug at Boko Haram’s heartstrings, right?
  • Especially when it’s got a real serious looking FLOTUS selfie HOLDING a hand written sign!
  • Hashtag Foreign Policy. Take it to Twitter. That will show ’em.
  • Michelle’s tweet further proves that action is not as important as “feeling” for the left.
  • Modern liberalism, at its core, is an ideology of talking, not doing.
  • Yup. Someone “calls on government” to do something and the world gets fixed. It’s that easy!
  • Hashtag activism may be the the ultimate example of completely pointless self-satisfaction.
  • They don’t *actually* care. They do it to inflate themselves. It is the emptiest of empty gestures.

Hillary Clinton … whose husband refused to go after Osama bin Laden … weighed in with her own self-aggrandizing and nonsensical tweet that suggested somewhere in the world there exists a conscionable reason to target innocent girls.

2014_05 04 Hillary Clinton tweet bringbackourgirls

Please note Clinton’s tweet was THREE DAYS before Mooch got around to hers. But then, Mooch included a selfie and a hand-written sign, so undoubtedly took  lots more time and thought. Or something.

Via Mark Steyn:

“Just as the last floppo hashtag, #WeStandWithUkraine, didn’t actually involve standing with Ukraine, so #BringBackOurGirls doesn’t require bringing back our girls. There are only a half-dozen special forces around the planet capable of doing that without getting most or all of the hostages killed: the British, the French, the Americans, Israelis, Germans, Aussies, maybe a couple of others. So, unless something of that nature is being lined up, those schoolgirls are headed into slavery, and the wretched pleading passivity of Mrs Obama’s hashtag is just a form of moral preening.”

Last October, Steyn reported another Boko Haram atrocity:

“The other day, members of Boko Haram, a group of (surprise!) Muslim ‘extremists’, broke into an agricultural college in Nigeria and killed some four dozen students. The dead were themselves mainly Muslim, but had made the fatal mistake of attending a non-Islamic school. ‘Boko Haram’ means more or less ‘Learning is sinful.'”

Yeah. Cuz you know what terrorists respond to? Smoking holes where their buddies used to be. Not hashtags.

The indoctrination continues

A California school district assigned 8th graders to write an essay about the Holocaust describing “whether or not you believe this was an actual event in history, or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth.”

2014_05 Holocaust denial assignment

The 18-page assignment instructions included three sources that students were told to use. One of the three is an Australian holocaust denier site that says gassings in concentration camps were a hoax and that Israel just wants money. Another section in the packet says Anne Frank was a fraud.

The district claims they did not any receive ANY complaints about the assignment from parents, teachers or administrators. I think they’re lying. SOMEBODY broke this story and who is more likely than an outraged parent who got the brush off?

I’ve BTDT trying to talk to arrogant educators who thought parents were good for nothing beyond fund raising. They all but patted me on the head while looking down their noses and informing me, “WE are the professionals. WE know what’s best. Go make cupcakes for the bake sale.”

The district has responded to the public outcry and says they’re removing the assignment. But let me guess how likely it is that they paid any attention to a PARENT who complained.

  • The Interim Superintendent is named Mohammad Z. Islam; I am not making that up.
  • The district’s spokeswoman is named Syeda Jafri. A google search suggested she’s from Pakistan.

Look. I’m not being racist here, just pointing out a fact. The two biggest Holocaust-denier groups are white supremacists and Muslims. And we all know which of those two groups the Obamacrats are all cozy with, don’t we?

Here’s my suggestion for a better assignment:

Write an essay about Anthropogenic Global Climate Change describing whether or not you believe this is a scientific fact or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth.

Yeah. That’ll really fly with Commie Core. Not.

Sacred Catholic art treasures smashed by violent Muslims

Millions of Christians in Syria are suffering mass genocide at the hands of Obama-supported Muslims in Syria.

And the world is silent.

Remember when Obama and Clinton fell all over themselves to apologize to Muslims for an amateurish anti-Muslim video on YouTube that only a few hundred ever viewed?

Where’s their outrage over this appalling desecration of the St. Mary’s Greek Catholic Church in Yabroud?

2014_04 01 Church smashed - Syria

These are cultural treasures, sacred to the people who made and maintain them.  Even if you think Catholics are idolators, the damage to private property should outrage you and the damage to the artwork should make you weep.
