Another Step in Uniting Islam for a Religious Cause!

As I pointed out in the previous Blog, in World War II it was the United States vs. Germany, Italy, and Japan, but in the current conflict it is the United States vs.
Islam. I realize that it was the Allied forces vs.
Japan, Italy, and Germany, but to make a point, as it applies
to our national interest, I have made us the singular force versus the Axis Powers. And, I also realize that religious beliefs have always played some part in wars over the centuries, but we are facing a situation we have never faced before, we are involved in a conflict with a belief that stretches around the globe, and which will not go away, no matter which course of action we choose to take. I know of no other faith that is as universally drilled into its offspring from the cradle to the grave as is the Islamic
faith. It is more than a country or countries, it is a deeply ingrained belief that Allah is God, and Muhammad is his Prophet.
It is more than a belief to Muslims, it is a way of life, something they must live by and die by!
I assure you that if we, or Israel, attack the nuclear facilities scattered across Iran, and are successful in completely destroying them, it will, in time, unite the forces of Islam even more in a common hatred for the United States and its allies, just as it did when Islamic forces rallied to drive out the crusaders in the ancient religious war under Saladin. To the billion plus Muslims living on this planet, we are the modern day crusaders, trespassing on the soil given to them in the Middle East by Allah.
Quite frankly, the die is cast, and regardless of whether we attack Iran or let them get their nuclear weapon, the spirit of Jihad is going to grow more fervent with the passage of time, and eventually it will reach such a pitch it will unite 10 Middle East Muslim nations in a consolidated effort to “wipe Israel off the map.” They will have only one mind, the mind of Islam, and the ten rulers of these Islamic nations will give their power and strength to a single leader to “wipe Israel off the map.”
Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Their leader will be successful in driving Israel into the Negev for a time, and times and the dividing of time (3 and ½ years). But at the end of that time, at the battle of Armageddon, Christ will return at his Second Advent to take away their leader’s dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. Christ will then establish his kingdom over all the earth.
Daniel 7:25-27 – And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
[26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
The following article by the Associated Press, Jerusalem Post, is another catalyst to draw more Muslims to financially support Hamas in a great Islamic cause of righteousness, which they believe is the righteous cause
of having their land restored to them.

Iran’s Leader Calls for Financial Help for Hamas-led Gov’t
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
February 20, 2006
Iran’s supreme leader called on Muslim nations Monday to provide annual financial aid to a Hamas-led Palestinian government and supported the radical group’s refusal to recognize Israel.
Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal and other officials were in Iran – a top backer of Hamas – in the latest stop of a tour of Arab and Islamic nations aimed at drumming up support as Israel and the United States move to cut off money to the Palestinians.
“Annual financial assistance to Palestine is one way that Muslim nations can share the responsibility for Palestine,” Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in talks with Mashaal, according to state-run television.
Hamas won a landslide victory in Palestinian legislative elections last month and is now moving to form a government, rejecting Arab and international pressure to recognize Israel, renounce violence and abide by peace deals reached between the Palestinians and the Jewish state.
Khamenei urged Hamas to stick by its rejection and its insistence on the return of Palestinian refugees and the creation of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
“Continuation of this stance and observing [these issues] as a red line is the only way for success,” said Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters in Iran.
He said aid from Islamic nations to the Palestinians will send a significant sign to the world and improve relations among Muslims. He praised Hamas’ recent victory in the general elections as a “divine sweet surprise.”
Israel and the United States, which consider Hamas a terrorist group, accuse Iran of giving financial and material support to Hamas, though Teheran insists it only gives moral backing.
Mashaal, heading a Palestinian delegati on, arrived in Tehran
on Sunday for a two-day visit.
He is to meet Iranian leaders including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who provoked international condemnation last year by calling for “Israel to be wiped off the map.”
In December, during Mashaal’s last visit to Teheran, he supported Iran’s hard-line stance against Israel saying that Hamas and Iran formed a united front against Israel.
