MUSLIM ON-GOING CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD AFGHANISTAN: The war in Afghanistan is ongoing. Since Soviet troops withdrew, various Afghan groups have tried to eliminate their rivals. Although the Taliban strengthened their position in 1998 they have not achieved their final objective. Afghanistan harbours Osama bin Ladin, a wealthy Saudi Arabia dissident responsible for terrorist acts around the world. On 11 September 2001 members from bin Ladin's el Qaeda group highjacked 4 passenger jets in the USA, crashing one into the Pentagon and 2 into the World Trade Center, killing more than 2,000 citizens. The USA and its allies declared war on terrorism and counter-attacked, removing the Taliban from power. The war on terrorism and the el Qaeda continues. ALGERIA: Armed Islamic groups formed and since 1992 have carried out attacks on key economic points, security forces, officials and foreigners. In 1995 Algeria's first multiparty presidential elections were held and the incumbent president Liamine Zeroual won 60% of the votes in a poll with a 75% turnout. The first multiparty legislative elections were held in June 1997 which were won by the National Democratic Rally, which holds the majority of seats along with the FLN. Although the armed wing of the FIS declared a ceasefire in October 1997, an extremist splinter group, the Islamic Armed Group (GIA), continued attacks. There is also evidence that many attacks are carried out by militias backed by the Algerian security forces. After years of civil strife, Amnesty International estimates that around 80,000 people have died The Caucasus and Russia: The Central Asian republics have a long history of conflicts. Fighting breaks out regularly between warlords and religious groups calling for the establishment of Islamic states outside the Russian Federation. Russia is trying to hold on to the federation because the Caucasus is a vital supply route for the oil riches of the Caspian and Black Sea. With the break-up of the Soviet Union various groups fought for control in the republics. Conflicts from one republic spills over to the other and they continually blame each other for attacks. Chechnya, still part of Russia, was flung in an almost full-scale war in 1994-96 and, after a disastrous campaign, Russia was forced to re-evaluate its involvement in the area. In August 1999 Russia stepped up security in the Caucasus region as rebels from within Dagestan - a small republic where more than 100 languages are spoken - went on the attack in support of Chechnyan Muslim groups who claim independence from Russia. In September 1999 Russia launched a ground invasion into the area to cut rebels off from Central Asian supply routes. By January 2000 Russia was once again involved in a full scale conflict in Chechnya. The Caucasus issue is complicated by the more than 50 different ethnic groups each insisting to proclaim their religious convictions on the area. The situation holds serious danger for neighbouring countries, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Russia itself. EYGPT: Fundamentalist Muslim rebels seek to topple the secular Egyptian government. At least 1,200 people have perished since the beginning of the rebellion. The conflict was primarily waged as an urban guerrilla/terrorist war. The opposition Muslim Brotherhood took part in elections in 2000, indicating that they felt armed force would not work. INDONESIA: The struggle on the Indonesia islands is complicated by leaders of pro- and anti-independence movements, and by religious conflicts. More than 500 churches have been burned down or damaged by Muslims over the past six years. Both the Christians and Muslims blame each other for the violence and attempts at reconciliation made little progress. After a bloody struggle East Timor gained independence in 1999. The hostilities on other islands continue to claim dozens of lives, to such an extent that the break-up of Indonesia seem imminent. INDIA/PAKISTAN: Muslim separatists in the Indian section declared a holy war against the mostly-Hindu India and started attacks in 1989, mainly from Pakistan-occupied section of Kashmir, and from Pakistan and Afghanistan. The conflict continues, with Pakistan also crushing rebellions with brute force in their section. IRAQ: Supports Islamic terrorist acts around the world. Differing culture and religious groups within Iraq continues to clash with Shiite Muslims. ISRAEL: Within its own borders, Israel continues to battle various Muslim organizations that seek independence for a Palestine state, areas made up of the Gaza strip, West.Bank, and part of Jerusalem. There is heavy international pressure on Israel to recognise a Palestinian state. The area of what today is Palestine was settled by Semitic tribes at a very early date. It was then called Canaan, and controlled by Canaanite tribes for more than 1,000 years. In about 1500 BC Hebrew, or Jewish, tribes began to enter the area. They later came into conflict with a people of Greek origin known as the Philistines. It is from them that the term Palestine is derived. IRAN: After the Iranian Revolution in 1979 toppled the government of the Shah, the Mujahadeen Khalq soon began a bloody guerrilla war against the new Islamic government. The Mujahadeen are currently based in Iraq and conduct cross-border raids into Iran, as well as conducting urban guerrilla operations in the cities and conducting political assassinations. Iran occasionally launches raids against Khalq bases in Iraq. KOSOVO: The ethnic Albanian KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) in this Serbian province fought a guerilla war against Serbia to claim the region. Beginning in February 1999, Albanians were forced out of the province, prompting NATO to attack Serbia. By July 1999 Serb troops were forced out of Kosovo, only to open an avenue for Albanian Kosovars to attack Serb Kosovars. The Albanian Muslims have since burned down dozens of centuries-old Christian churches. In an effort to establish a Greater Albania, Albanian Muslim rebels also launched attacks in Macedonia. NIGERIA: There are violent religious clashes in the city of Kaduna in northern Nigeria beginning February 21 2004 and have continued. Kaduna is the second largest city in the north. The clashes followed a march by tens of thousands of Christians to protest the proposal to introduce Muslim sharia law as the criminal code throughout Kaduna state. Reports speak of rival armed gangs of Christians and Muslims roving the streets. Churches and mosques have been put to the torch. Corpses were seen lying in the streets and people's bodies hanging out of cars and buses, apparently killed while attempting to flee the violence. Local human rights workers said that more than 400 had been killed as a result of the clashes. SUDAN: The largest country in Africa, has been plagued by a succession of unstable civilian and military governments since it gained independence in 1956 from an Anglo-Egyptian condominium. The long-running conflict continues between the Arab Muslim northerners of Sudan, (the base of the government), and the African Christians of the south. In the mid-90s Sudan was home to Osama bin Ladin, the international terrorist responsible for the World Trade Center attack. It is estimated that more than 1,2 million people have been killed in the Sudan war, brining devastation to the Sudanese economy. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: At war with terrorism. PHILIPPINES: The Phillipines armed forces, with assistance of US troops, are fighting Moslem rebels - they have been linked to Osama bin Laden's el Qaeda terrorist group - on the southern islands of the country. Muslim rebel groups seek autonomy/independence from the mostly Christian Philippines. One rebel group, the Abu Sayaf Group, is believed linked to Osama bin-Laden's Al-Qaida. This connection, plus their tactic of kidnapping and beheading Americans, led the United States to send Special Forces to aid the Philippine Army.

Oh my. I can't spell........ Oh well.

Chicago Ends Boy Scout Sponsorship No More Merit for Discrimination, ACLU Says FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, February 4, 1998 CHICAGO -- In a binding settlement agreement entered in federal court today, the city of Chicago formally ended all support for scouting programs as long as the Boy Scouts of America continue to discriminate on the basis of religious belief and sexual orientation

Just a Holy Man in an unholy land! Or you could say I fell like a sheep among wolves. Saddlepack, listen....your web link saying Christians are skin heads & nazis is wrong. ScouterPaul, As far as the abortion bombings....I can count those people on one hand. They will be judged before God for what they did. And I think what they did was wrong. But abortion has already killed millions of children. Anyone see the new 3D technology on the news last night? They can see the baby (12 weeks) yawning, making facial expressions..... Abortion is MURDER. (This message has been edited by Jason OK)

Just Throwing Pearls to swine...wasting my time.

ScouterPaul, ARE YOU A PEDAFILE? You going to teach that merit badge class? This is from your other post. ScouterPaul RE: New Merit Badge Idea - can't resist posting this Posted: Saturday, 6/19/2004: 3:38:02 PM quality ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Would there be field trips to the local Girl Scout Camp? My commentary: Or maybe just a bigot! Maybe you should reference my "whole" post next time you want to insult me. (From Post ACLU POST) I will confess I am not well Versed in the complete history of the ACLU. I said they should defend the religious rights of others. I do not care about Nazis or KKK members. When they try to erase GOD out of our society I have a problem with it. 10 Commandment symbols on city seals ect. ect. ect. Do not preach to the choir concerning our civil liberties. You can not pick things out of the constitution and decipher them as you will. NOT all Jewish people are practicing Jews either. Most Hollywood elites are Jews....Secular Jews in fact. No, don't turn this into anti-Semitism. MY lord warned against it and I fully support my brothers. Jason OK

I believe the litteral translation for Catholic is Christian. I wouldn't mind if Protestants brought a couple of things over from the Catholics and plugged them into our church. Kneeling and such.

Boleta, I can't tell you how many different versions of the bible I have (KJV, NKJV, NIV ect ect). Not only that, I have several Aramaic, Greek, & Hebrew dictionaries to use. I know you are not a practicing Jew nor Christian (Christian includes christian, catholics, so on. The more you talk the more you show you know nothing of Christ nor his father. You are probably a ......... thats why we are butting heads so much. NJ, I like you. Catholics are Christian......I am a protestant. So don't offend me, Just Kidding......Nope I am new to this Forum to answer the other question.

NJ, You are a Jew? I am sorry if I offended a brother in God. But the point was a couple of bad apples can ruin the bunch. Again, until I see a balance I will not change my mind. Thus the reference to Hitler (He was a lot of bad ... showed a smile just a reversal of the cliche) YES HE WAS HORRIBLE THATS WHY I USED HIM FOR AN EXAMPLE. YES AN EXTREME EXAMPLE BUT NONE THE LESS AN EXAMPLE. Yes the ACLU I believe is a tool of Satan. No tool of God would take God out. The Old & New Testament teaches to watch for these things.(This message has been edited by Jason OK)(This message has been edited by Jason OK)

I PM packsaddle so I could answer his question. he wrote "My question is how do we observe the same country and see it slanted in opposite directions? I see the Judeo-Christian influence permeating our entire society. Not Buddhist, not Hindu, not Islamic, nor American Indian, nor other less-well-known traditions. I see the Judeo-Christian influence as dominant over any others, for that matter all others combined. So I'm always curious to understand a different view. Please explain the reasons you conclude the opposite." GOOD QUESTOIN! In college I was a buhhdist. I took lots of history & phylosophy concerning politicts. The more I learned concerning our founding fore fathers the more I questioned my..... not religion but faith phylosophy (because Buhhda said to never worshiop him and don't make his teachings a religion)I have read letter upon letter from(writers of the constitution ) our founding fore fathers wrote concerning guidance from God and referring back to the Bible. (Not all Letters some were journal entries.) They were so passionate about the Holy Bible. The first public school was started in order to make sure the Bible was taught. www.wallbuilders.com You can go there and actually read from the first school books. They also have a lot of information concerning the topic. Example from www.wallbuilders.com 1795 Massachusetts Proclamation by Samuel Adams This is the text of Samuel Adams' February 28, 1795 proclamation, issued while he was Massachusetts Governor: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commonwealth of Massachusetts By the Governor A Proclamation For a Day of PUBLIC FASTING, HUMILIATION and PRAYER THE supreme Ruler of the Universe, having been pleased, in the course of his Providence, to establish the Independence of the United States of America, and to cause them to assume their rank, amount the nations of the Earth, and bless them with Liberty, Peace and Plenty; we ought to be led by Religious feelings of Gratitude; and to walk before Him, in all Humility, according to his most Holy Law.-But, as the depravity of our Hearts has, in so many instances drawn us aside from the path of duty, so that we have frequently offended our Divine and Merciful Benefactor; it is therefore highly incumbent on us, according to the ancient and laudable practice of our pious Ancestors, to open the year by a public and solemn Fast.-That with true repentance and contrition of Heart, we may unitedly implore the forgiveness of our Sins, through the merits of Jesus Christ, and humbly supplicate our Heavenly Father, to grant us the aids of his Grace, for the amendment of our Hearts and Lives, and vouchsafe his smiles upon our temporal concerns: I HAVE therefore thought fit to appoint, and with the advice and consent of the Council, I do hereby appoint Thursday, the Second Day of April next, to be observed as a Day of Public Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer throughout this Commonwealth:-Calling upon the Ministers of the Gospel, of every Denomination, with their respective Congregations, to assemble on that Day, and devoutly implore the Divine forgiveness of our Sins, -To pray that the Light of the Gospel, and the rights of Conscience, may be continued to the people of United America; and that his Holy Word may be improved by them, so that the name of God may be exalted, and their own Liberty and Happiness secured.-That he would be graciously pleased to bless our Federal Government; that by a wise administration, it may be a sure guide and safe protection in national concerns, for the people who have established, and who support it-That He would continue to us the invaluable Blessings of Civil Liberty; guarding us against intestine commotions; and enabling the United States, in the exercise of such Governmental powers, as are devolved upon them, so that the honor and dignity of our Nation, upon the Sea and the Land, may be supported, and Peace with the other Powers of the World, upon safe and honorable terms, may be maintained. That he would direct the administration of our Federal and State Governments, so that the lives, liberties and property of all the Citizens, and the just rights of the People, as Men and Citizens, may be forever acknowledged, and at all times defended, by Constitutions, founded upon equal rights; and by good and wholesome Laws, wisely and judiciously administered and duly executed. That he would enable Legislators and Magistrates of this Commonwealth, to discharge the important duties incumbent on them, that the People may have good reason to feel themselves happy and safe, and lead quiet and peaceable lives in all Godliness and Honesty. That he would incline the Natives of the Wilderness, to listen to reasonable offers of Peace, that tranquility and security may be established on the Frontiers Of our Country;-That he would graciously regard the Lives and Health of the People of this and our sister States, and preserve them from contagious and wasting diseases: To crown the ensuing Year with Plenty and Prosperity, by his blessing on our Husbandry, our Fisheries, our Commerce, and all the labor of our Hands-to affect our minds with a sense of our entire dependence upon Him, and of his great goodness towards us, that when we may present ourselves before Him, at the close of the Year, with our thank-offerings, our Hearts may by his grace, be prepared to do it in a manner acceptable to Him. That He would be graciously pleased to establish the French Republic, and prosper others who are contending for the Rights of Men, and dispose all Nations to favor the same principles , and return to Peace and Friendship. That He would in his great Mercy, remember the unhappy state of our Fellow-Citizens and others, who are groaning under bondage, in a foreign Land. That He would soften the Hearts of those who have led them captive, inclining that People to show them favor during their Captivity, and in His own due time open a door for their relief: -And finally, that He would over-rule all the confusions that are in the Earth, of the speedy establishment of the Redeemer's Kingdom, which consisteth in Righteousness and Peace. And I do recommend to the People of this Commonwealth, to abstain from all unnecessary Labor and Recreation on the said Day. GIVEN at the Council-Chamber, in Boston, this Twenty-eighth Day of February, in the Year of our Lord, One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-five, and in the Nineteenth Year of the Independence of the United States of America.

Boleta, Seriously. I just wanted to clear something up from your last post...seriously. Are you a Fat Homosexual? Just kidding. ;p You didn't mean that ...right?

praying to Christ? Truthfully?

praying to Christ? Truthfully?

praying to Christ? Truthfully?

We are on a different calendar method now. Was that talked about? I believe we are on the Gregorian calendar now. Whats kinda freaky is all the BeHeadings going on........that is talked about in prophecy.....won't take the mark of the beast..no? they cut your head off.

Firstpusk, You can pray for me as much as you like as long you are praying to Christ our savior.

Twocubdad, I don't know how you grew up but I was taught if someones throws a punch at you you have every right to defend yourself. So maybe you ought to read back further. I am sure if you do you will understand the passion. By the way. You sound like I was before I gave my life to Christ. Wordly in my views. There is no HELL....we are all going to heaven. You gave Rooster praise for conducting himself. Did you read where he defended me? I do not know you.....but I wish to think you are my brother in Christ.(This message has been edited by Jason OK)

I am not aware of that matter. But Satan works in such ways to disquise his motives. When the ACLU starts to do it on a regular basis I might change my mind. Thats like saying Hitler was nice because he smiled when he shook my hand. (yikes) In my eyes. I must see a balance. And the scales are tipped far away from our Judeo roots as a country.

OK my little Liberal.........live in your femi nazi socialist world. Ah Oh! here it comes. Come on I try to put a little humor in most not all of my threads. If ya don't like it don't post. Oh wait this is a forum so post all you want. (This message has been edited by Jason OK)

I will confess I am not well Versed in the complete history of the ACLU. I said they should defend the religious rights of others. I do not care about Nazis or KKK members.

Firstpusk, I am going to pray for you. If you have not accepted Christ as your lord and savior and you wish to do so please contact your local church. They can help you on your journey with Christ.

Packsaddle, Abraham Lincoln got that quote from the Bible. If you read your Bible you would know that brother. Listen.....The only person that never sinned was Jesus so stop your comparison concerning murderers. No believer in the WORD ever killed someone while chanting GOD IS GREAT. Let me give you this link. WARNING! GRAPHIC PICTURES OF BEHEADING http://www.drudgereport.com/jp.htm God gave his only son to us! Jesus is the GOD of love.....but God's wrath will come once again on those who do not believe in the end! But not now. He's been trying to win us over with love for 2,000 years now. Jesus does not promote the terrible act of beheading. And your other little website http://www.fact-index.com/c/ch/christian_identity.html sounds something of Satan also. That has nothing to do with the teaching of the Bible. (This message has been edited by Jason OK)

Is your mind on? Do you know how many passages are in the Bible concerning the worship of idols? (statues)? God did give a couple of commands to build some. Do not be offended. Here is a Catholic website defending the use of idols. http://www.cathinsight.com/apologetics/adventism/image.htm Lets not get off the true subject. Satan works in these manners. Distraction from the truth. Satan wants us to think Jews and Christ Believers are evil. So go ahead and help his agenda. I still have not seen or heard a good rebuttal to my post.

Too bad that's not their agenda though. If it were they would not be against so many religious concerns. I can understand if you do not like Rush but do not be blind to the evil of the ACLU. They take some great stands on defending only "parts" of the constitution.(This message has been edited by Jason OK)

Scouter Paul, Did you not get the idea of the full post? I almost converted to catholic So you can take your Bigot stuff back. If you truly think Christians are bombing people in the name of God or Christ you are so wrong! Tell me one time when you heard of a Christian or Jew (Gentile-again I mean people who believe in Jehovah) killing someone in the name of GOD while chanting GOD is GREAT! Don't get history from Dan Blather! Besides those people are not even Christians or Gentiles for that matter. Would you feel better if I insulted myself? I am humble enough to do so. I have the up most respect for Catholics....my wife might not but I do.
