U.S. doesn’t “get” the ‘R’ War!
Jihad is now a holocaust of Shame,
Religious Islamist ideology is to Blame!
U.S. isn’t awake to Islamic unchanging Aims,
Its roots sink deep in all souls caught in its Name,
Jews do “get” ‘R’ knowing by man it cannot be Tamed,
And cannot be uprooted till Israel’s Messiah ends its Game!

Please take the time to read the two excerpts in this Blog. I promise they are more than worth considering.
This is an excellent article by Lela Gilbert in the excerpt from the Jerusalem Post.
I have cried out for forty years about the danger of a final great war generated by the Islamic faith, which I have always considered to be the heart of the spirit of Satan in its final war with God which terminates at Armageddon. Political correctness and fear of reprisal by its murderous Islamic terrorist organizations has stopped many from making such direct descriptions of what it theologically represents, and I do confess this has, at times, crossed my mind. But Islamic theology is the biblically defined spirit of all that anti-true-God teaching demands for validation.
If this were a secular conflict, then diplomatic dialog might be able to settle it, but this is spiritual war between the forces of God and the forces of Satan, and whether you are atheistic, agnostic, believer, or unbeliever, Jew or Gentile, elephant or ant, or straight or gay – you are going to be caught up in it, like it or not, because this type of confrontation can only END IN WAR – Exactly WHEN is the only question! So I hope you are “getting the ‘r’ word!”
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, AS TRAVAIL UPON A WOMAN WITH CHILD; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Isaiah 26:17 to 27:1 – LIKE AS A WOMAN WITH CHILD, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
[18] We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. [19] Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. [20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [21] For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. [1] In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Not getting the ‘r’ word
November 30, 2008
LELA GILBERT , THE JERUSALEM POST
Late last Wednesday night in my Jerusalem apartment, I was checking the headlines. All at once I found myself frantically trying to make sense of a growing number of news bulletins, video clips, live feeds and photographs coming in from Mumbai. It seemed that a murderous assault on the city had been launched, and one of the two five-star hotels attacked was our beautiful Taj Mahal Palace. Of course the grisly scenes of people gunned down in cold blood were the real tragedy. But for me, it was also jarring to see places inside the hotel where I had walked, shared a drink with friends, laughed with my son and welcomed in the New Year now smeared with blood and littered broken bodies. It was impossible to stop watching, and sleep was out of the question.
I was vaguely aware that the perpetrators were being identified mostly as “militants,” their presumed motives as “economic,” their targets as “Western” and their description – more than once – as “so young, dressed in casual clothes…”
Even though it was clearly a terrorist attack, most of reports avoided the words “Muslim” and “Islamic.” It was, in fact, a while before the noun terrorism was employed.
On some Web sites there was occasional speculation about possible al-Qaida connections. Yet even in that context, any religious aspects of the attacks remained unmentioned.
Then reports began to emerge that Mumbai’s Chabad House had been attacked by “militants,” with Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, his wife Rivka and others held hostage.
Mombai’s population is nearly 13,000,000. Its dwindling Jewish population is estimated to be around 4,000. But along with two world-famous hotels, the city’s splendid and historic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station, the Cama Hospital for women and children and a local police station, was it just bad luck that the humble little Lubavitcher center was also targeted?
EVENTUALLY REPORTERS acknowledged that this wasn’t simply an incident of continuing Pakistani vs. Indian hostilities – although those hostilities are very real. After the Chabad House invasion, after a group calling itself the “Deccan Mujahideen” took credit for the battering of Mumbai, the Muslim theme began to be repeated more frequently. A smattering of commentators and bloggers even recalled Osama bin Laden’s inflammatory statements, especially since 9/11, and his repeated calls for international jihad.
Of those statements Paul Marshall writes in Blind Spot, ” These religious themes have continued.
On April 23, 2006, while castigating the United Nations, bin Laden denounced ‘pagan Buddhists,’ presumably the Chinese. He claimed that the ‘world’s crusaders alongside pagan Buddhists hold the five permanent seats’ in the UN Security Council. Bin Laden also stressed India’s role and referred to a ‘Crusader-Zionist-Hindu war against the Muslims…'”
Mumbai’s Hindu population certainly bore the brunt of the attacks. Thanks, no doubt, to Bin Laden’s rhetoric, Hindus were clearly targeted. And whether the Mumbai attacks were the specific handiwork of al-Qaida or not, the global religious war took on new proportions last week.
Time magazine on-line quoted French terrorism specialist Roland Jacquard: “This didn’t involve suicide bombers and booby-trapped cars that we commonly see in Islamist terror attacks – ones which usually end with the explosion-deaths of the kamikazes carrying them out. This is essentially a small army sent into the heart of society with orders to kill and keep killing as long as possible.” For three days, the city was under siege, and more than a few described Mumbai not just as a site of selective terrorist attacks but as a war zone.
TRAGICALLY, IT was the murders of Rabbi Gabriel and Rivka Holzberg and their fellow-hostages that made the nature of the conflict clear to the world.
That beautiful, hospitable couple were not killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They weren’t caught in the crossfire between Muslims and “Western targets.” They weren’t players in any Pakistani-Indian conflict. The Holzbergs were not murdered for anything other than being Jews. Their son is an orphan because his parents were Jews. The Holzbergs were casualties in a religious war that has cost millions of lives in Sudan, and thousands in Nigeria, Bali, Indonesia, Madrid, New York, London and, of course, here in Israel.
Clarity about the Mumbai atrocities will not be available overnight, and there will be much to learn from the tragic details. But one thing is certain. Whatever we choose to call it, this global conflict – which is rooted in centuries-old religious Islamist ideology – is far from over.

WAKE UP – WE ARE IN A “RELIGIOUS WAR”
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT
Begin Excerpt 2 from speech given by US Navy Captain Quimette
US Navy Captain Ouimette is the Executive Officer at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. Here is a copy of the speech he gave. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary.
AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
That’s what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were killed) and maybe it was, but I think it should have been ‘Get Out of Bed!’ In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.
It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran . This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world’s most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency.. The attack on this sovereign U.
S. Embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years.
America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter, had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol of America’s inability to deal with terrorism.
America’s military had been decimated and down sized /right sized since the end of
the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start.
Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued.
In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button once more.
Then just six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden down with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more.
Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait , and America continues her slumber.
The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept.
Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe . In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid.
Then in August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed and the snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually attacked.
Fifty-nine days later in 1985 a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed.
The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 , killing 259.
The wake up alarm is getting louder and louder.
The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America . In January 1993 , two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley , Virginia.
The following month, February 1993 , a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and not an act of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again.
Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyad Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women.
A few months later in June of 1996 , another truck bomb explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran , Saudi Arabia. It destroys the Khobar Towers , a US Air Force barracks
, killing 19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively.
They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania … These attacks were planned with pre cision.
They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep.
The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12 October 2000 , when a small craft pulled along side the ship and exploded killing 17 US Navy Sailors.
Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to sleep.
And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America . How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep.
In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high officials in government over what they knew and what they didn’t know. But if you’ve read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don’t have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developin g since 1979.
I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it will continue until
we as a people decide enough is enough. America needs to ‘Get out of Bed’ and act decisively now. America has been changed forever.. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto said ‘… it seems all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant.’ This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorists around the world.
This is not a political thing to be hashed over in an election year, this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to come.
