The Results of Diplomacy with Islam!
OR HOW TO INVIG
ORATE A DREAM OF CALIPHATE!
December 18, 2007

All four of the excerpts which follow our heading were extracted from the December 18 Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs Daily alert. They come from different news sources, which are listed with each excerpt.
The first two excerpts demonstrate what diplomacy and a withdrawal of plans to attack Iranian nuclear facilities is accomplishing – a period of relative false peace, which is occurring while fanatical jihad rogue states and the many terrorist groups, bring the moderates into their camp by an orchestrated fear of what will happen to their rulers if the Caliphate crew does defeat Israel.
The last two excerpts demonstrate that the dream of a restored great Caliphate stretching from southern satellite nations of the former Soviet Union, which broke away after the uprising in the last century.
The populations of these countries contain a majority of those who are of the Islamic faith. This would be a gigantic Caliphate, stretching from west to east from Morocco to India, and from north to south from the border of southern Russia to the southern tip of Yemen. Oddly enough, this was, to the first readers of the Books of Ezekiel and Daniel, the known world of their day, which I have contended for some 30 years will be the extent of the last days Empire of the Antichrist.
It will be a C
aliphate Empire.
If you would like to read a full exposition of WHY I am so convinced the final world Empire of Antichrist will only c over
those areas of the world as it was known to the readers of Daniel, Ezekiel, and John when they wrote their prophecies, please take a look in our Archive at Prophecy Update number 77, 77A, 77B, and 77C.
If I am correct, it is going to make a “world” of difference, because the Antichrist will be able to being in his prophetic Empire, while this generation is still waiting for him to take over the entire world as we know it today.

International Aid to PA No Guarantee for Boosting Moderates
Khaled Abu Toameh
Since its establishment in 1994, the PA has received nearly $6.5 billion in international aid. The assumption was that economic prosperity would weaken radicals and boost the moderates among the Palestinians. But hundreds of millions of dollars went into secret bank accounts or to build villas for senior PA officials. The international community that was pouring money on the PA did not seem to care about the stories of financial corruption and embezzlement. Nor did the donors pay attention to the fact that Arafat was inciting his people not only against Israel, but also against the same “infidels” who were signing his checks.
While the billions of dollars promised at the Paris conference on Monday are likely to improve the living conditions of the Palestinians and strengthen their economy, there is no guarantee that the financial aid would have a moderating effect on many of them. This money is mainly designed to keep Fatah in power and prevent Hamas from taking over the West Bank. Unless the PA changes its rhetoric and starts promoting real peace and coexistence with Israel, the millions of dollars are not going to create a new generation of moderate Palestinians. The only way to undermine Hamas is not by channeling billions of dollars to the PA leadership, but by offering the Palestinians a better alternative to the Islamist movement.

America’s New Talk Policy with “Rogue” St ates
Helene Cooper
Americ
a is about to enter a new age of talk. Seven years of President Bush’s Don’t-Talk-to-Evil policy are over.
Now administration officials are openly making nice with Syria, holding round after round of talks with Iran over the fate of Iraq, and making preliminary plans for Secretary of State Rice to visit Libya.
“Will we talk to the rogues or not?” says Robert J. Einhorn, a scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He says the answer is clear: We will. (New York Times)

The Algerian Terror Lesson
Editorial
The suicide bombings at UN headquarters and the Supreme Court building in Algiers this month were crimes against humanity.
They also offered clues about the aims of al-Qaeda and true scope of the threat from fanaticized jihadists.
The primary objective of al-Qaeda and likeminded groups is to overthrow Arab regimes they consider to be un-Islamic, such as the regime in Algeria. In the Algerian press, the bombings were seen as a sign that government efforts to co-opt violent Islamists by pardoning them have failed.
There remains a lingering threat from small bands of radicals intoxicated by a FANCIFUL VISION OF RESTORING THE GLORY OF A VANISHED ISLAMIC CALIPHATE AROUND THE WORLD. Yet when Muslim communities experience what it would be like to live under the al-Qaeda version of a restored caliphate – as in Iraq’s Anbar province – they recoil in horror. Boston Globe)

Al-Qaeda Leader: Restore the Islamic Caliphate from Chechnya to Spain
On December 14, 2007, the Islamist website Al-Hesbah posted an audio address by al-Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, titled “The Treason…of Annapolis.” In it, al-Zawahiri calls on Hamas to reject any political negotiation over the future of Palestine, and to declare its commitment to waging jihad until all Islamic lands – from Chechnya to Andalusia (Spain) – are liberated and subjugated to Islamic rule AND UNTIL THE CALIPHATE IS RESTORED.
