The Wahhabi sect of Islam - the force behind most of the war and killing in the turbulent Middle East.
President Obama bows to Saudi King in 2008
Some mental wonderings about the future of our nation under the leadership of a complete and evil, anti-American fraud
Here are a few thoughts from diverse sources about the realities of life in the USA under Obama.. Then there are some details of how Obama’s friends, supporters, detractors and enemies have all been conned into helping him in his effort to accomplish his true goals. Didn’t someone say, “Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it.”.
THOUGHTS FROM DIVERSE SOURCES:
Socialism has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it
—Thomas Sowell.
The liberal Democrat party in the US has a record of hatred, failure, corruption, deception, and greed so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
—Howard Johnson
Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility.
—George Orwell
The United States will be a socialist dictatorship by 2030. At that time, leftist activists will be happily extolling the joys of socialism while being carted off in cattle cars to the salt mines.
—Howard Johnson
A government policy to rob Peter to pay Paul can be assured of the support of Paul.
—George Bernard Shaw
It seems our present government has deliberately destroyed many Peters and created a huge number of Pauls to ensure compliance with their agenda and support for their enslaving policies.
—Howard Johnson
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money.
—Margaret Thatcher (England’s Iron Lady)
Add a few drops of venom to a half truth and you have an absolute truth.
—Eric Hoffer
People unfit for freedom—who cannot do much with it—are hungry for power. The desire for freedom is an attribute of a have type of self. It says, leave me alone and I shall grow, learn, and realize my capabilities. The desire for power is basically an attribute of a have not type of self.
—Eric Hoffer
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
—Philip K. Dick
To a liberal Democrat, elitist intellectual, or any collectivist, reality simply does not exist.
—Howard Johnson
Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.
—Plato
It is disconcerting that present-day young who did not know Stalin and Hitler are displaying the old naïveté. After all that has happened they still do not know that you cannot build utopia without terror, and that before long terror is all that’s left.
—Eric Hoffer
We now have a two party system for all national elections. The two parties are the hate party and the stupid party. We have been calling them by other names, but you know which is which. Now whenever you see their old names, substitute hate or stupid. Of course, a few members of each of the old parties switch when using their new names. Members of the hate party have learned that hate of all kinds is the best means of getting elected and they have become masters at using it. Voters are more motivated by hate and hate speech than by any other factor, probably more than all other factors combined. The stupid party now loses elections because the only time they use hate and hate speech is in the primaries against members of their own stupid party. Brilliant!
Politics is a totally irrational, emotional thing. There are a number of things completely missing from all political campaigning. These include, but are not limited to: truth, honesty, reason, logic, respect, morality, reality, civility, in fact, anything having to do with what we used to call human dignity. Also, the real motives and goals of politicians are carefully hidden beneath layers of deceit. They are kept from public knowledge as much as possible. Most politicians are frauds for this reason alone. None of the current crop of hate party members has conducted as effective a hate campaign as has that great unknown, Barack Hussein Obama.
Politicians of the left, the hate party, have become single minded in their efforts at inciting lynch mobs (the voters) to hate their opposition. Using class, economic, and race envy, and character assassination, they fan the fires of unreasoning anger and hatred to bludgeon their opponents. Their accusations are almost totally unfounded and devoid of facts. They know that the lynch mob mentality overpowers reason and logic, and will cause ordinary people to do unthinkable evils if guided by the angry rhetoric of the inciters. Obama and his minions are masters of this kind of incitement. Remember the famous rant of then Democrat party chairman, Howard Dean, “I hate Republicans. I hate Conservatives. I hate Rush Limbaugh.” That is what motivates liberal Democrats, pure visceral hatred.
Our lying President: Obama for one is a complete fraud, a fabrication. He not only deceives the public, but his friends and supporters as well. It took me a long time to come to this conclusion, but the more I saw the results of his action, the more I examined what he was and is actually doing, the clearer his true purpose came to me. This one conclusion explains all of his actions, his lies and deceptions. There is no other possible conclusion.
I will start with some information published by a black talk show host from Los Angeles.
EXAMPLES of OBama’s truthfulness:
TERRY ANDERSON, A BLACK LOS ANGELES TALK RADIO HOST, WENT DOWN A LIST OF STATEMENTS, (in bold) SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAID THAT AREN'T EXACTLY CORRECT.
Obama is a fraud, a fabrication. Several of his many blatant lies and their documentation were reported by Terry Anderson, a black talk radio host from LA. One part of his list of Obama’s lies are copied in the following paragraphs. They are just a few from his list of several hundred. Obama’s lies are in bold. My comments are in bold italics.
1.)
Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)!!
Shades of Hillary being named after Sir Edmond. Those Democrats invent more about themselves than one can keep up with.
2.)
Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.)
Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
4.)
My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY; your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that and for more. Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter...Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.
5.)
My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man.
6.)
My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). Go to:

8.)
My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book). February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset”' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says “Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced & manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.”
9.)
I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.)
Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study the Koran and watch cartoons?

12.)
I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine

39.)
My uncle liberated Auschwitz concentration camp - NOT EXACTLY, your mother had no brothers and the Russian army did the liberating.
These are just a few of the hundreds of accurately documented lies pointed out and backed up with recorded facts by Terry Anderson. So, who EXACTLY is this Obama guy and what is he trying to sell us? Please get to work now. not enough of your loved ones and friends know about this fraud. Now that he is President, his lies about everything have multiplied many fold. Example, his recent blatant lies about the events in Benghazi. The man is a pathological liar. These are proven facts, but their deeper meaning is carefully hidden from the public, Obama’s enemies, and even from his friends.
NOTE About the reliability of snopes.com: Check other sources besides
Snopes.com. There have been multiple times they have "debunked" something negative about Obama but the other sites have supported the claims. Do some research and you find they are firmly in Obama's corner and many times will say something is false or will attempt to spin it in a positive light while other sources just as if not more reputable have said the exact opposite. Obama's biggest supporter (with money) is avowed socialist George Soros, who just happens to be the primary "purse strings" and ardent supporter of the infamous SNOPES.COM web site.
Draw your own conclusions.

Some Barack Obama Quotes - HEJ has added what he actually means in italics.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones
we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
That change is from a free America to a totalitarian dictatorship with me in control. That’s more efficient than a republic.
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
When you become totally dependent on government, it happens. Your government must completely control your life and have and use all your money. We can do a much better job than you can, at least for us. We don’t care if you end up in poverty.
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things.
Michelle and I and our cohorts are the only ones allowed to do this, and we're masters at it. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
Just as long as it doesn’t interfere with what I want.
I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.
I actually meant RAISE taxes for working families.
And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.
Of course, I am that God.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
I’m not sorry I said the opposite of what I meant. You understand that of course.
America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings
. This will be true as soon as I have changed America into an Islamic nation under Sharia law. It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
And now I am going to make all of that meaningless and impose poverty on the masses. Unions will be helping me accomplish this.
It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today,
and me and my administration have just begun to reverse all those gains.
Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is a
whole lot worse than the one we inhabit today.
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life
when Michelle convinced me to hide my Islamic beliefs and profess Christianity so I could run for political office. It was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
That last is, of course, pure Moslem BS because we are urged by our holy Koran to lie, cheat, steal from, and murder Infidels, and especially Christians and Jews.
It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative.
That means a totalitarian dictatorship under Sharia law. That will demand new thinking
(subjugation to our demands) and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.
All money will be spent in support of Islam and my leadership.
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.
I don’t give a damn what the Constitution says. We are going to act and rule as we see fit.
I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about Islamic values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby.
I’ll just have them stoned.
There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America - there's the United States of America.
I intend to turn all of those Americas into an Islamic America under Sharia law.
We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen, at least for you.
I can do that and send Michelle and our friends on expensive, fuel-consuming jet flights all over the world wherever and whenever we want. I don’t give a damn what it costs taxpayers or how much ecological damage it does. We will go and do as we please. Get over it!
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible
as long as we can pick and choose who gets that education and what it is they are taught.
The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.
The fact that they promote violence and degrade women is inconsequential. Who cares?
I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.
That is of course pure Obama BS. We are equal opportunity taxers. We will take as much of your money as we can, as soon as we can in never ending cycles, especially if you are a business person or middle or lower middle class American.
I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
I will continue to promote negative stereotypes of Christians, Jews, Hindus - in fact, any non Islamic religion.
If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.
The right path is of course whatever I tell you.
And we can see the positive impacts right here at Solyndra. Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot.But through the Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations. This new factory is the result of those loans.
Solyndra will be a spectacular financial success and pay back those loans with interest, just like the city of Detroit and the State of California, etc. etc. Is that what actually happened? Of course not.
A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'
Good is, of course, defined as that which promotes and furthers my Islamic goals for America.
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.
So trust me.
But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do, that's what I pray to do every day.
Of course, Allah is the only God and Islam the only religion.
Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.
No, from my own words and from my current leadership they know that I do not believe in America, American exceptionalism, the American Constitution, personal freedom for the masses or any kind of individual liberties. They see me rule by decree, lie to them on a routine basis, ignore the Constitution and bypass Congress when that body does not conform to my orders.

Race Whores, Media Whores, and a deliberately factious administration profit greatly from their blatant promotion of racial strife.
There are thousands of examples of racial agitators jumping in at every trial or public gathering of any kind to try to make as much trouble, even violent trouble, as they can. The actions of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakahn, and Malik Shabazz, the head of the racist and anti-Semitic New Black Panther Party, are clearly aimed at creating racial strife. The reaction to the Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman case is just the latest in a long line of deliberate efforts to create racial divides in America.
Eric Holder refused to prosecute Shabazz in the voter intimidation case saying, “I’m not going to prosecute my people.” Now he has sent the Justice Department Community Relations Service to Sanford, Florida. Holder’s CRS didn’t travel to Sanford to restrain the mob. They went to Florida to help it. They backed up Al Sharpton and did exactly what Shabazz demanded.
Some reports from the news media:
Outraged NAACP Wants Feds to Prosecute George Zimmerman.
The NAACP was outraged over the not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial and called on the Department of Justice to prosecute Zimmerman for shooting Trayvon Martin.
Senate Leader Harry Reid asks for the Justice Department to prosecute George Zimmerman, “This Isn’t Over With”.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Sunday it is looking into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors will file criminal civil rights charges now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.
For details on this horrendous evil action go to:
http://swordattheready.wordpress.com/2013/07/14/race-war-commeth/
The main stream media and their yellow journalists tried to out slime the Inquirer with false accusations, headlines, condemnations and even photographs. They and all the members of the race business tried and convicted Zimmerman of murder in spite of the evidence. They have become prosecuting attorney, judge and probably executioner. They don’t want justice, they want the opposite of justice, REVENGE. They are a lynch mob with but a single angry, unreasoning and unrelenting purpose. I will be surprised if Zimmerman is not murdered by some slime ball. I wonder how that trial will go and how the media and race whores will treat it?

Most Americans have no concept of Islam, the Wahhabi Muslims and their beliefs and why this is so .dangerous
✷ ✷ ✷
1) Most Americans are basically honest and respect the integrity of others. Sure, they lie, but not pathologically.
2) Most Americans see others as basically honest and truthful in their day-to-day dealings with others. They expect some degree of honesty from others.
3) Most Americans are therefore easy victims to those who use words and actions with total disregard for truth, honesty, integrity or respect for others. Deception is the universal method of Muslims in their dealings with non Muslims or infidels. It is pathological.
4) As a tenet of their religion, Muslims are instructed it is moral and righteous to be dishonest with infidels in furtherance of the goals of the nation of Islam. They are taught it is perfectly acceptable to lie, chest, steal, and commit murder against infidels and infidel nations. They are only instructed not to do such things against other Muslims. Actually, Muslims are constantly at war with all infidels everywhere in the world. They have practiced this warfare relentlessly since Mohammed came on the scene in the 600s. This is their always ongoing Jihad or Holy War against all non Muslims. It is their basic motivator of interaction with all non Muslims.
5) Wahhabi Muslims, or as they call themselves, the only true Muslims, are a special case.
Wahhabi Muslims see themselves as the only true Muslims. All Muslims who are not true Muslims according to the Wahhabis, are infidels. They are to be treated exactly the same as all infidels or non believers. This gives the Wahhabis full justification to lie, cheat, steal from, maim, and murder those they deem not to be true Muslims or Wahhabis. Incidently, they refer to themselves as true Muslims, not Wahhabis, the name other Muslims use when referring to their members. This makes it difficult to determine if a Muslim is or is not a Wahhabi Muslim. Their actions alone define them, and maybe their location of origin or family. Their words certainly do not as they are completely dishonest in dealings and communication with those they do not consider to be true or Wahhabi Muslims.
Obama practiced Islam daily at school, where he was registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until his wife made him change, so he could run for office.
On April 9, 2009 during the G-20, President Obama clearly bowed to Saudi King Abdullah, stirring a controversy that's been mostly overlooked by the media. (Like so many other of his questionable activities.) Bowing to royalty and dropping your eye contact means subservience! Now you know where Obama's allegiance lies!
See above for examples of OBama’s Wahhabi Muslim truthfulness:
One of the basic tenets in the Koran is that Muslims need be honest only with other Muslims. The Koran teaches that it is no sin, and actually a good thing to lie, steal from, cheat, and even murder infidels in the support and furtherance of Islam. Wahhabi Muslims carry this to extremes. The beheading of Americans like Daniel Pearl are one extreme example. The 3,000 deaths in the World Trade Center are another. They gleefully murder innocent civilians at every opportunity.
✸ ✸ ✸
As I predicted and in the way I predicted, Obama the fraud won the election. and Democrats won control of the Senate. Fortunately for most Americans, Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives. That may mean little as Obama is not shy about using executive privilege and orders to “Go around Republicans in the House to get what I want done.” If he gets away with this, the last four years of economic destruction will seem minor compared with the next four years. This is especially true for the American middle class who will mostly be reduced to poverty. The entire nation will become a Detroit or California. The economic destruction his minions will bring about will make the previous four years seem pale in comparison. We will find out, won’t we?
—Howard Johnson - November 2012
Americans have little understanding of Arab cultures, or of Islam.
Americans are quite naive and misinformed about much of Africa and the Middle East, particularly as relates to the make up of nations. This is doubtless because of the way the American media describes all of these so-called nations. Western media has virtually no understanding of Arab culture, Islam, or the Middle East. This is probably why Americans see Middle Eastern nations as though they are all like the nations of Europe after the seventeen hundreds.
Virtually all nations are made up of the remnants of tribal groups diluted by invasions of and joining with other tribal groups. This is the natural human political evolution from family to tribe to state to nation over many centuries.
Consider America before the European invasion. There were thousands of tribal groups, some with alliances, some without. Each tribe had its own government, usually a chief supported or opposed by a religious leader, a shaman or holy man. The succession from one leader to another was hereditary or irregular and often violent. Tribes defended their territory from other tribes and borders flexed frequently during tribal wars and invasions. When the Europeans invaded, the concept of ownership of the land and possession by a nation changed America from tribalism to nationhood. It was a bloody and violent change. Most of Africa experienced the same bloody change when Europeans invaded there with their superior weapons and organized armies. To this day, much of Africa remains tribal resulting in many small bloody wars based on racial or tribal divisions or differences.
The middle east and the Muslim nations in particular show the same type of tribal identities and conflicts. Afghanistan is certainly not a nation in the European sense, but merely a geographical area. Within that area reside hundreds of tribal groups led by chiefs and shamans very much like the American Indian tribes described earlier. Each tribe is in effect a nation on its own with its own governing body and laws. It has its own chief or warlord and its own religious leader or mullah. Often the warlord and mullah are the same individual. Most of the Muslim nations follow a similar pattern. Even Pakistan which has a governing body and president much like a western nation, has large areas, mostly in the mountainous region bordering Aghanistan, where tribal governments are in control and the central government has little say. One huge mistake Americans and the western media make is describing these areas as nations or parts of nations. In reality, they are not nations in the western sense, but contiguous areas roughly named by westerners for the dominant language or culture in the area. Mostly they are divided into tribal fiefdoms whose only commonality is their submission to the will of Allah, they follow some version of Islam and consider themselves Muslims, part of the nation of Islam.
The Bedouins
In addition to these tribal settlements, there are the bedouins who for centuries lived a nomadic life out in the deserts of Arabia, Sinai, and the Sahara. Beduoins were among the first followers of Mohammed, the first members of the nation of Islam. While nearly all have been forced into settled lifestyles, a few still cling to their nomadic, desert dwelling culture with no land attachment other than the desert. Like the long gone American plains Indians, they are the last remnant of one type of nomadic people, and they are fast disappearing. Even where they have left their nomadic lifestyle and settled in communities, mostly in Egypt, they remain apart from other Arab cultures and peoples. Many Arabs consider them the purest of Arab peoples, admiring them for their toughness and difficult lifestyle.
http://www.bedawi.com/Bedouin_Culture_EN.html follows:
Origins of nomadic peoples are difficult to trace as they leave little evidence behind for archaeologists...
The term 'Bedu'in the Arabic language refers to one who lives out in the open, in the desert. The Arabic word 'Badawiyin'is a generic name for a desert-dweller and the English word ‘Bedouin’ is the derived from this.
In ancient times, most people settled near rivers but the Bedouin people preferred to live in the open desert. Bedouins mainly live in the Arabian and Syrian deserts, the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt and the Sahara Desert of North Africa.
There are Bedouin communities in many countries, including Egypt, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iraq in the Middle East and Morocco, Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya in North Africa. Altogether, the Bedouin population numbers about 4 million.
The Bedouins are seen as Arab culture’s purest representatives and the Bedouins continue to be hailed by other Arabs as “ideal” Arabs, especially because of their rich oral poetic tradition, their herding lifestyle and their traditional code of honor.
The Egyptians refer to the Bedouins as 'Arab', but Bedouins are distinct from other Arab’s because of their extensive kinship networks, which provide them with community support and the basic necessities for survival. Such networks have traditionally served to ensure safety of families and to protect their property. The term 'A'raab' has been synonymous with the term 'nomad' since the beginning of Islam.
The Bedouins are recognized by their nomadic lifestyles, special language, social structures and culture. Only few Bedouins live as their forefathers did in camel- and goat hair tents, raising livestock, hunting and raiding. Their numbers are decreasing and nowadays there are approximately 4 million of them. Only 5% of Bedouins still live as pastoral nomads in all of the Middle East. Some Bedouins of Sinai are still half-nomads.
Bedouins have different facial features by which they can be distinguished from other Egyptians and also they generally dress differently.
The Bedouin men wear long 'djellabaya' and a 'smagg' (red white draped headcover) or 'aymemma' (white headcover) or a white small headdress, sometimes held in place by an 'agall' (a black cord).
The Bedouin women usually wear brightly coloured long dresses but when they go outside they dress in an 'abaya' (a thin, long black coat sometimes covered with shiny embroidery) and they will always cover their head and hair when they leave their house with a 'tarha' (a black, thin shawl). Traditionally a woman's face was hidden behind a highly decorated 'burqa'ah' but this is now only seen with the older generations. The younger generations cover their face simply with their 'tarha' (shawl).
The Bedouins have a rich culture and their own Arabic ‘Bedawi’ language, which has different dialects depending on the area where they live.
In former days they emphasized on the strong belief in its tribal superiority, in return to the tribal security – the support to survive in a hostile environment.
'The Bedouin' is aristocratic and they tend to perceive the Arabian nation as the noblest of all nations, purity of blood, way of life and above all noble ancestry. They often trace their lineage back to the times of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and beyond.
The first converts to Islam came from the Bedouin tribes and therefore (Sunni) Islam is embedded and deeply rooted in the Bedouin culture. Prayer is an integral part of Bedouin life. As there are no formal mosques in the desert, they pray were they are, facing the Ka’aba in Mecca and performing the ritual washing, preferably with water but if not available they ‘wash’ with sand instead.
'
The Bedouin' is generally open-minded and interested in what is going on in his close and far surroundings since this kind of knowledge has always been a vital tool of survival.
At the same time, the Bedouins are quite suspicious and alert keeping a low profile about their personal background.
Modern Arab states have a strong tendency to regulate their Nomadic lifestyle and modern society has made the traditional Bedouin lifestyle less attractive, since it is demanding and often dangerous, so many Bedouins have settled in urban areas and continue to do so.
The Bedouin people are faced with challenges in their lifestyle, as their traditional Islamic, tribal culture has begun to mix with western practices.
Men are more likely to adjust and interact with the modern cultures, but women are bound by honour and tradition to stay within the family dwelling and therefore lack opportunity for advancement.
Today unemployment amongst Bedouin people is very high. Only few obtain a high school degree and even fewer graduate from college.
However, for most people the word Bedouin still conjures up a much richer and more mysterious and romantic image...

“Wahhabi” Islam: General Overview
Posted on Saturday, July 17, 2004 1:56:56 PM by Steven AU
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 shook the United States to its core. Since those horrific moments, our nation has been thrust into a global war against terror and religious extremism. Now more than ever, it is of the utmost importance that we understand the thought processes of those who seek to destroy the very fabric of Western society. Nothing short of our way of life and our very existence are on the line. We cannot afford to lose.
What could possibly drive people to murder innocent civilians on such a large scale? What would lead a man to sacrifice his own life to take that of another? Why are these terrorists so filled with hate and animosity towards us, that their hate even overshadows their willingness to live? Many questions remain unanswered. Though some politicians would have us believe that the answers to these questions lie in US foreign politics, I believe that there is another force at hand: Wahhabi Islam.
Wahhabi Islam is a term commonly given to a strict Sunni sect of Islam. Followers of Wahhabi Islam do not refer to their religion as “Wahhabi.” Many merely call themselves “Muslim,” or “True Muslim,” for according to their beliefs they are the only true Muslims. Some Wahhabists refer to themselves and their religion as “al-Muwahhidun,” “Salafi,” “Salafi Da’wa,” or “Ahlul Sunna wal Jama’a.” Depending on the region and dialect in use, other names also exist. For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to this religion as “Wahhabi Islam” and it’s followers as “Wahhabists.” By “Wahhabi Islam”, I am referring to the forms of Islam that share the strict revivalist vision and beliefs that were preached by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the late 1700’s.
Wahhabi Islam counts among its adherents such names as Osama Bin Laden and Saudi Prince Nayef. Various groups such as Al-Qaeda, Pakistan’s Jamaat-I Islami, The Islamic Salvation Front, and al-Jihad have also adopted Wahhabism as their official religion (Ahmed; Cline; Haykel; Smith; Hardy). The extremist religion offers many a theological justification and mandate to kill those they deem to be infidels. One should note that according to Wahhabism, the vast majority of Muslims (over 99%) are also to be considered “infidels, heathens, and enemies.”
Wahhabists have made their presence known worldwide. From the beheading of Daniel Pearl in Pakistan to the beheading of countless Russian soldiers in Chechnya, from the beheading of Nick Berg in Iraq to the beheading of Paul Johnson in Saudi Arabia 2 days ago, Wahhabists have shown a willingness to use television and the internet to display their gruesome acts of barbarism. To truly understand those that we must fight in this battle against terrorism, one must learn more about Wahhabi Islam and it’s extremist teachings.
The Origin and History of Wahhabi Islam
Wahhabism started as a movement within Islam founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-1792). To fully understand the militancy of Wahhabi Islam, it is important that one learns of the warlike nature of Wahhabi Islam’s founder and the brutal times of war in which he lived.
Having been born in a small oasis town in central Arabia, al-Wahhab grew up studying Hanbali Law, one of Sunni Islam’s strictest and most conservative schools. He lived and studied with his grandfather until he was in his early teens, at which time he left his home to move to the holy city of Medina, where he continued his Islamic studies.
After completing his studies in Medina several years later and now a young man, al-Wahhab traveled to a city in what is modern day Basra, Iraq. There, he taught Islamic law for approximately four years. Al-Wahhab then traveled to Baghdad where he continued teaching Islamic law. There, he met and later married an affluent woman. She later died and left al-Wahhab a large inheritance, which he used to travel the region.
The early 1730’s found al-Wahhab residing in Iran. It was here that he first started to preach his new and radical thoughts on Islam. Al-Wahhab virulently attacked the customs and beliefs of the tribes in the region, many of whom were Sufi Muslim. He also extended his criticisms to the practices of the Twelver Shia, such as paying respect at the tombs of holy men.
With the growing unpopularity of his criticisms against Sufi Islam in Iran, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab moved back to his native town of Uyaynah in the late 1730’s. Upon his return to his birthplace, al-Wahhab began writing the Kitab at-Tawhid, which would later become the main text of Wahhabi Islam’s doctrines. It was about this time that al-Wahhab begun to gather a larger amount of followers.
Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s extremist views and doctrines led to controversy in Uyaynah. Many of the town’s leaders were not fond of his fundamentalist approach to Islam. After all, merely invoking the name of the Muslim prophet Muhammad was, by al-Wahhab’s standards, a grave sin. In 1744, he was expelled from Uyaynah. Al-Wahhab then settled in Ad-Dir'iyah, which was under the control of a powerful tribal leader named Ibn Sa'ud. Ibn Sa’ud became a believer of Wahhab’s doctrines and the two formed a strong alliance. Al-Wahhab and Ibn Sa’ud swore a Muslim pledge with each other in which they vowed to establish a new state that would operate under al-Wahhab’s strict interpretation of Islamic Law.
And thus began a military campaign that would shake the Arabian Peninsula to its core. The Wahhabi faith provided Ibn Sa’ud with the justification he needed to raid and conquer nearby settlements. Though these settlements were Islamic (and traditional Islamic law prohibits Islamic states from attacking each other), the Wahhabi doctrine viewed all non-Wahhabists as infidels and not true Muslims. It was thus that Ibn Sa’ud found a legitimate purpose to bring the nearby settlements under his control, to spread “true Islam” to the infidels.
The Wahhabists were indiscriminate in their killings of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. They soon garnered a reputation as brutal and fanatical warriors. These Wahhabist warriors were described as being so fanatical that they had little regard for their own lives … their sole purpose, it seemed, was to kill the enemy. By the time of his death in 1765, Ibn Sa’ud had managed to gain control over most of the region and had spread Wahhabism to those conquered lands.
Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab died in 1792 but the spread of Wahhabism continued under the leadership of Ibn Sa’ud’s son, Abd al Aziz. Abd al Aziz continued the Wahhabi campaign and managed to sack the Shia holy city of Karbala and Sunni towns in Hijaz. The Wahhabists were brutal in their treatment of captured lands and brought destruction upon those who had opposed them. In the early 1800’s, the Wahhabi army even managed to gain control of Mecca and Medina. Viewing the acts of commemorating dead holy men and praying to saints as unholy acts, the Wahhabists destroyed monuments and gravesites in the holy cities. By doing this, they sought to imitate the Muslim prophet Muhammad’s smashing of pagan symbols when he returned to Mecca in 628. Access to the holy sites in Medina and Mecca were severely limited to outsiders.
Shortly after the capture of Mecca, Abd al Aziz died. His son, Sa’ud, assumed leadership of the army but also died shortly after. Sa’ud’s son, Abd Allah ibn Sa’ud was then left in charge of the movement.
The majority of Muslims were appalled and horrified at the brutal tactics used by the Wahhabists. Furthermore, the wanton destruction of what was to them holy sites and monuments incensed the overall Muslim community. It was then that the Ottoman Turks, one of the most powerful forces in Islam at the time, united with Muslim forces in Egypt to launch a bloody retaliation against the Wahhabists. Facing such an overwhelming force, the Wahhabists didn’t stand a chance. They immediately lost control of Mecca and Media and by 1818 had lost control of the majority of their territories. They were left a mere shamble of their previous power.
The Wahhabists managed to make a slight comeback by 1833, but were once again beaten back. By 1889, the Wahhabi forces were annihilated and the Sa’ud family had fled to Kuwait for refuge. Many hoped that this final victory over the Wahhabi forces would mark the end of the extremist religion once and for all. However, the Sa’ud family would find an unlikely ally in Britain.
By 1920, the Sa’ud family and their Wahhabi forces had built themselves back up. In 1927, the British, who at the time controlled much of the Arabian Peninsula, saw the Sa’ud family as allies from their WWI fight against the Turks, who were allied with Germany. The British signed a treaty with the Sa’ud family in which the Sa’uds assumed control over the Gulf sheikdoms. In 1932, the Sa’uds gave this land the name “Saudi Arabia.” And so was born the Wahhabist kingdom that bears the same name to this very day.
Beliefs and Doctrines of Wahhabi Islam
With his strict Hanbali upbringing and militant nature, it comes as no surprise that al-Wahhab’s teachings espoused a very extremist interpretation of the Quran. In addition to supporting strict and uncompromising societal obedience to Shariah Law, Wahhabi Islam has additional rules and beliefs that set it apart from other forms of Islam. Some of these doctrines are:
True Muslims – The only true Muslims are those who follow the teachings of al-Wahhab. All other “Muslims” are non-believers and infidels
Tahwid (the essential oneness of God) - Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab championed the notion that people must never, under any circumstances, question the essential oneness of God. He took this notion to its extreme by claiming that prayer or observance to any saints or holy men was a form of raising up human figures to the level of God’s power. His belief was that the observance and honoring of the dead, saints, and/or angels detracted from the complete subservience one must feel towards God and only God. Wahhabi Islam thus bans any prayer to saints and dead loved ones, pilgrimages to tombs and special mosques, religious festivals celebrating saints, the honoring of the Muslim prophet Muhammad’s birthday, and even prohibits the use of gravestones when burying the dead.
Any Muslim who does not follow these rules is to be considered an infidel. In the mind of the Wahhabist, this automatically places the far majority of Muslims, who indeed do celebrate their prophet Mohammad’s birthday and do mention him and various saints in prayer, into the category of non-Muslim infidel. It was thus that al-Wahhab made it a point to destroy all Muslim shrines that he came upon in conquered territories. Upon conquering the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina, al-Wahhab even attack the prophet Mohammad’s gravestone and shrine. In his own fanatical mind, al-Wahhab compared this to the prophet Muhammad's destruction of pagan idols when he reentered Mecca in 628.
Bayah (the oath of allegiance) – According to al-Wahhab’s teachings, all Muslims must individually pledge their allegiance to a Muslim leader. As long as this leader follows the laws of Islam (as determined by Wahhabi Islam) completely, the individual must give him his unquestionable allegiance. The Wahhabist must make this pledge to ensure his redemption by God after death. The purpose of the bayah is to merge religion and politics into one, ensuring that all Muslims dedicate their lives to following a “pure” leader who upholds all the tenets of Islam while at the same time ensuring that every leader must follow the laws of Islam completely. The Muslim community is thus to become the living embodiment of God’s laws and dictates. It is the responsibility of the leader to ensure that all people who live under his control know and follow the laws of God.
Conformity – Wahhabi Islam demands conformity. All people must dress similarly (you may notice in Saudi Arabia, most men wear the same white cloths), behave similarly, pray at the same time, use the same rituals in prayer, and speak in a similar manner. Adherence to the “true faith” is demonstrable in physical and tangible ways. The Wahhabists believe that they can judge a person’s faith by observing his actions and level of conformity to the Islamic ways. It is thus the responsibility of each Wahhabist to constantly observe his neighbors and friends in search of unholy actions and behavior.
The Struggle against Jahiliyya – Taken literally, the word Jahiliyya is a reference to a state of barbarism and ignorance. But al-Wahhab used it in a different context. In Wahhabi Islam, all societies that do not follow the true ways of Islam are considered to be in a state of Jahiliyya. All “infidels” are Jahili. Used in this context, Jahiliyya can more accurately be described as a representation of what Wahhabists consider to be the unholy, polytheistic, barbaric, corrupt, and evil state of Arabia before the coming of Islam. Jahiliyya is a representation of the culture that Mohammad fought against and destroyed with the inception of Islam. By so closely comparing their struggle against Jahiliyya with Mohammad’s fight against the polytheists of his time, Wahhabists see the struggle as one of the most holy actions they can take.
According to al-Wahhab, it is the duty of all true Muslims to fight Jahiliyya and the Jahili. Though conversion to “true Islam” is an option, Wahhabists are permitted by their doctrine to “rob, murder, and sexually violate” Jahili. We can find an example of Wahhabi Islam’s brutal treatment of what they consider to be Jahili in the gruesome beheadings of such people as Paul Johnson, Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg, etc.
Wahhabists also use many verses from the Quran to support their views on the struggle against Jahiliyya. Two verses commonly used by Wahhabists as justification for their battles are: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah ... until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection," (Quran 9:29) and “fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah" (Quran 8:39).
One indication of the strict standards that Wahhabists apply to societies can be found in their current view of the Saudi government. Even though Saudi Arabia’s government is by Wahhabi standards Islamic in almost every way, the fact that they allowed “infidels” onto the holy land after the first gulf War, in the eyes of many Wahhabi Clerics, made the Saudi Arabian government Jahiliyya. Some radical Wahhabi proponents such as Osama Bin Laden now even call for the overthrowing of that government.
Original Grandeur of Islam - Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab believed that the Islam of his time was not Islam at all. His contention was that the original purity of Muhammad’s teachings and the Quran were watered down and greatly altered from their original form. According to his views, the more time that passed after the writing of the Quran, the more unknowledgeable Muslim scholars got about its true meaning. It is thus that al-Wahhab believed in the original grandeur of Islam. He preached that the Islamic community should return to a strict interpretation of the principles enunciated by the Prophet Muhammad. Al-Wahhab accepted only the authority of the Quran and Sunna along with the issues clearly settled by early jurists. All later reinterpretation of issues and the Quran were to be rejected. Islam would return to the form it had taken shortly after the time of Muhammad. Wahhabists do not believe in reinterpreting issues of Islamic law that were already settled at that time.
With this strong stance against any reinterpretation of Islamic law issues already settled, Wahhabi Islam leaves absolutely no room for any. Wahhabists are thus left with customs and beliefs from ages long ago. Among some of these issues that may not be reinterpreted and reformed are:
1)
Women’s rights – Women have almost no rights in Wahhabi culture. They are forced to dress in certain ways (usually covered from head to toe in either black or blue), are not allowed to drive, may not speak, not allowed in public without a male chaperone, have no custody of their children, and so on.
2)
Dietary laws – Like many other Muslims, Wahhabists may not eat pork or drink wine. They do however follow even stricter guidelines in the form of not being able to drink any alcohol at all or consume any stimulants (i.e.- smoking cigarettes).
3)
Exhibition of Wealth - Wahhabists are forbidden to wear any jewelry, including gold, or silk clothing.
4)
Culture – Listening to music, dancing, pictures, paintings, loud laughter, and demonstrative crying are strictly prohibited. Men are not permitted to trim their beards shorter than a certain length and are not allowed to grow their hair longer than a certain length.
5) Wahhabi Islam’s doctrine of original grandeur thus leaves the Wahhabist in a state of following customs and cultures of ancient times with no possibility of such customs and rules ever being reformed and changed.
The Influence and effect of Wahhabi Islam
One can easily see the strict and uncompromising nature of Wahhabi Islam. Not only does it entail conformity among people, the observance of ancient customs, a strict and unforgiving interpretation of the Quran, but Wahhabi Islam also glorifies the struggle against Jahiliyya. This leaves the Wahhabist in a position of feeling that the majority of people are infidels and it is his duty to wage war against such Jahili. So it comes as no surprise that Wahhabi Islam has had a significant influence on the world.
Wahhabi Islam has a tremendous effect on all those who live under it’s auspices. The individual is first bombarded with the teachings of al-Wahhab as a young child. According to the rules of bayah, it is the responsibility of the leader to ensure that all people who live under his control know and follow the laws of God. And so, the rulers will make religious education a large part of children’s lives. In Saudi Arabia, mandatory Wahhabi studies account for over 35% of most schools’ curriculums. Parents also have the option of sending their child to a madrassa, in which 100% of the studies are religious in nature.
Wahhabi studies seek to indoctrinate the young children with religious extremism at an early age. One quote from the official school textbook used in many Saudi Arabian schools states:
"The last hour won't come before the Muslims would fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them so Jews would hide behind rocks and trees. Then the rocks and tree would call: oh Muslim, oh servant of God! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only "Gharkad" tree, it is of Jews' trees."
Wahhabi Islam views the majority of Muslims as. It supports violent struggle against all infidels and the young children are indoctrinated with these beliefs from an early age. Ali al-Ahmed, a Muslim who grew up in Saudi Arabia, shares his experiences of the state funded schools:
“The religious curriculum in Saudi Arabia teaches you that people are basically two sides: Salafis [Wahhabis], who are the winners, the chosen ones, who will go to heaven, and the rest. The rest are Muslims and Christians and Jews and others.
“They are either kafirs, who are deniers of God, or mushrak, putting gods next to God, or enervators, that's the lightest one. The enervators of religion who are they call the Sunni Muslims who ... for instance, celebrate Prophet Mohammed's birthday, and do some stuff that is not accepted by Salafis.
“And all of these people are not accepted by Salafi as Muslims. As I said, "claimant to Islam." And all of these people are supposed to be hated, to be persecuted, even killed.
“Bin Laden learned this in Saudi Arabia. He didn't learn it in the moon. That message that Bin Laden received, it still is taught in Saudi Arabia. And if he dies, and this policy or curriculum stays, we will have other bin Ladens.”
In this culture, young children are taught that anyone who is not a Wahhabist is a Jahili and is supposed to be “hated” and “persecuted.” It becomes clear why terrorist organizations are able to find so many recruits. Recruits are being raised in Saudi Arabia and indoctrinated by the school system. It is no coincidence that 15 of the 9-11 hijackers were Saudi Arabian.
The environment in which the child grows into a man is also one that leaves no other option open except conformity and religious extremism. The entire student body dresses and behaves in a similar manner. There is no music to entertain the young teenager in his spare time. There are no school dances. There is no mingling with the opposite sex. There are no opportunities to find creative outlets. The young man is left with no other tangible alternative but to turn to Wahhabism as the driving force in his life. Wahhabism teaches the young man hate and intolerance, which become molded into his psyche.
The Wahhabist is also taught to constantly observe his neighbors and friends in search of unholy actions and behavior. He is also aware of the fact that his own actions are being observed. The constant presence of Mutawwiin, “enforcers of public morals” who roam around the towns and cities in search of anyone who violates the cultural rules of Wahhabism (i.e.- someone playing music, not praying at the right time, someone with a beard that is too short, etc), help to sink into the Wahhabist’s psyche the notion that he constantly has to be on the lookout. He is in a constant state of having to prove himself and thus acts in an even more devout manner.
We can clearly see that Wahhabi Islam has a huge influence on the individuals who live in such a society. They have little choice but to turn to the extreme and intolerant teachings of Wahhabi Islam as the only viable outlet to their energy. The individual who lives in a truly Wahhabi society is one who is indoctrinated in extremism from an early age.
Wahhabi Islam’s influence on culture is also a noticeable one. Al-Wahhab’s teachings support a drive towards extreme conformity. And so we find Wahhabi culture to be severely lacking in individuality. Everybody dresses, behaves, and even prays in a similar manner. One could easily recognize the traditional and plain white garment worn by almost every man in Saudi Arabia.
Wahhabi Islam’s concept of original grandeur makes its effects known in culture. With the ancient jurists banning music, loud laughter, dancing, alcohol, and even paintings, the Wahhabi artistic and entertainment culture is a bland and boring one. There is little that can truly be called “culture” in Wahhabi society. It is mostly tradition and rules that must be abided by.
Another aspect of culture that Wahhabi Islam has had an influence on is the treatment of women. In this day and age, women in Wahhabi culture are still treated very poorly. They are forced to dress from head to toe in either black or blue garment, are not allowed to drive, may not speak unless spoken too, are not allowed in public without a male chaperone, have no custody of their children, and are even subjected to beatings from the Mutawwiin.
Wahhabi culture dictates the mandatory pledging of an unquestionable allegiance to one’s ruler, bayah. It would seem as though after stripping people of any true form of culture, Wahhabism also strips them of any sense of ownership of their own body and mind. By pledging the allegiance, they give up that last bastion of control over their destiny.
Wahhabism has had a significant, yet unfortunate, influence on culture by stifling the creative arts, treating women badly, annihilating any sense of individuality/personal worth, and driving its people to a form of extreme conformity.
One need not look past the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 to realize the influence and effect Wahhabi Islam has had on the rest of the world. The extremist religion has indoctrinated hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Muslims into a system of hate and violence. With its glorification of violent struggle against Jahiliyya and the millions of extremists it has created, it should come as no surprise that Wahhabi extremists have been waging a war of religion since the time of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab himself.
There has not been a time in its existence that Wahhabi Islam was not in some form or another at war with what it considers infidels. The origins and history of Wahhabi Islam, described earlier in this essay, show the violent and brutal nature it took before the formation of Saudi Arabia. Groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood of the 1940-50’s, Al-Jihad and Gamaa Islamiya of the 1970-80’s, The Front for National Salvation in Algeria, the Taliban and Mujahideen that fought the Soviet forces in Afghanistan, al Qaeda, etc have kept the violent Wahhabist jihad against what they consider to be Jahiliyya alive to this very day. The violent killing of “infidels” is an influence of Wahhabi Islam that has haunted the rest of the world.
The United States of America has been thrust into a global war against terror. We fought the Taliban in Afghanistan and are now in Iraq. This is no doubt an effect of Osama Bin Laden’s Wahhabi theology. But we are not the only ones who have felt the sting of Wahhabi terrorism. Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Chechnya, and Bosnia are just a few of the other countries to feel the wrath of Wahhabists. The war against terrorism will be a long and hard war indeed.
The doctrines of Wahhabi Islam are playing another role in this war … for they are influencing the culture of war itself. Wahhabists are permitted by their doctrine to “rob, murder, and sexually violate” Jahili. Wahhabi extremists are taught from a very young age that all “non-believers” are worthless and subject to persecution and death. This extremist Wahhabist view of “infidels” has led the terrorists to use gruesome and hateful methods. On September 11, mass quantities of innocent civilians were killed. And yet this would mean nothing to them, for the civilians were merely Jahili. The lives of civilians are normally valued and protected in times of war. Wahhabi Islam influenced a major change in those values of war. It is now permissible for our enemies to slaughter and even behead civilians). Violent Jihad against the “infidels” is not only permissible to the Wahhabist; it is mandatory.
Wahhabists and the Saudi government continue to fund Wahhabi madrassas worldwide. A recent figure estimates that the Saudi government alone has spent over 70 billion dollars funding such extremist schools.
The full influence of Wahhabi Islam has yet to be felt by the world. With so many extremists being churned out of Saudi Arabia and its madrassas worldwide, things only appear to be getting worse. The real solution would be to implement some major changes in Saudi Arabia itself. Though some minor changes have been taking place (i.e.-they are cooperating with us more on arresting terrorists), the real changes that need to be made are not ones that Saudi Arabia would be willing to take by itself. For such changes would involve altering the very nature of Wahhabism itself. The Saudi clerics would not stand for such meddling by their own government. So we are unfortunately stuck in this hard place of having to fight terrorists in far away lands with no real end in sight.

I wrote this a couple weeks ago. Hope you find it interesting. I think it's important to know who we're fighting in this war against terrorism and that the Saudi's are really nothing close to an ally.
To say that all Moslem terrorists are Wahhabi is a serious error and is to grossly simplify the situation. The nature of Islam is to elevate many individuals to positions of power, all based on studying and teaching from the Quoran and in submission to those teachings. The history of Islam is one of literally thousands of individuals rising to power through the efforts of devoted followers. These leaders are not elected, they merely talk, fight, and often murder their way into leadership, or are from families who have been hereditary leaders. Osama bin Laden and many other Al Queda leaders are typical examples, as are the Taliban leaders. It is difficult for Westerners to understand the fanatical devotion to such leadership that brings about suicide bombings and other mayhem, often against other Muslims. The history of the expansion of Islam is one of mayhem and murder, often of innocents and always in the name of Allah. The history of Islam is a bloody one indeed. Examples of how Islam encourages Muslims to lie to and cheat Infidels as long as it furthers the cause of the nation of Islam.
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison (aka Keith Hakim or Keith Ellison Muhammad) is the first Muslim elected to Congress. He took the oath of office on January 4 with his hand on the Koran rather than the Bible and sparked much controversy.
Congressmen and other officials are required to take an oath of office as a prerequisite to being seated. Similarly, witnesses in court are required to take an oath before testifying. The purpose of the oath is to encourage people to tell the truth. By swearing under oath, one obligates himself to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We, as a nation, take the actions of our elected officials and statements made in court very seriously. Therefore, our oaths are made under penalty of perjury. The legal ramification of knowingly making false statements is the possibility of being criminally prosecuted and jailed. Historically, the oath invoked God based on the idea that those who were religious would be less likely to lie if they feared the wrath of God, in addition to the wrath of the state. It was an additional way through which our legal system emphasized the importance of truth-telling.
While nothing in the Constitution or our state laws mandate a person to swear on the Christian Bible, the legal alternative is to “affirm.” This is a promise to tell the truth under pain of perjury, available to those who either do not believe in the Christian God, the Christian Bible, or whose interpretation of the Bible forbids them to swear.
Though some have sworn in on the Old Testament or on different versions of the Christian Bible, all these texts were part of, or variations on the Christian Bible, included the Ten Commandments, and endorsed the same moral value of truth.
The Christian Bible teaches that “The Truth shall make you free,” “render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and unto God what is God’s” (separation of church and state), and preaches freedom and equality for people of all faiths.
The Koran, by contrast, teaches that it’s OK to lie to infidels if it furthers the cause of Islam, that nation states have no legitimacy, that the only legitimate nation is the nation of Islam, which has no territorial boundaries; and those who do not submit to the will of Allah should be condemned to a life of dhimmitude (second class citizenry).
NOTE: The Koran also states that it is OK to cheat, steal from, and even murder infidels for the same reason. Because the Koran does not mandate truth telling (honesty, respect, or decent treatment) to infidels and because upholding a man-made constitution conflicts with the literal text of Koranic law, the purpose of the oath is not served by swearing in on the Koran.
An individual cannot subjectively select which text constitutes a “Holy Scripture” appropriate for legal oath-taking. Instead, to determine the intent of the framers who wrote the oath requirement in the Constitution, we must look at the meaning their words held at the time they were written. It is clear that the Founding Fathers intended the oath to be made on the Bible, which espoused the value of truth-telling and in which one of God’s Ten Commandments was “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” They did not contemplate oath-taking on the Koran.
Swearing in on a text that states the oath does not have to be truthful because it is being made to infidels, or that the individual’s allegiance is to a Higher Authority than the Constitution states specifically that the individual does not have to respect our nation’s laws to the degree they conflict with Sharia or the Koran, then his oath would not be equivalent to an oath taken on the Bible. To swear on a book that is in direct conflict with the purpose of our oath, renders the oath meaningless. The object of the oath matters.
However, there is no religious test for elected office, and nobody is trying to force anyone to swear on the Christian Bible. An individual can make an affirmation under penalty of perjury, promising to tell the truth and uphold our man-made laws. This would not preclude the individual from practicing the religion of his choice. If that religion is Islam, then his religion encourages him to lie to, steal from, bear false witness against, and even murder infidels in the furtherance of the nation of Islam.
From a legal standpoint, any individual’s promise to swear in on the Koran is much ado about nothing, as they are doing no such thing. The official congressional swearing-in ceremony takes place in the House chamber, where the speaker of the House will administer the oath to all House members en masse and no religious texts will be utilized. The subsequent private swearing-in ceremony is nothing more than a photo op and has no legally binding significance. It is at these individual ceremonies that congressmen traditionally pose with the Bible. (In some official positions, the actual Bible is used in the administration of the oath.) Nevertheless, anyone insisting on using the Koran in his is individual ceremony is nonsense—a political/religious ststement. It raises questions about the individual’s loyalties and values. Do they believe in Sharia law or freedom? Do they respect the authority of nation states or only that of the Nation of Islam? Do they believe in tolerance and equality between Muslims and non-Muslims? Do they believe in freedom of speech even when it slanders Islam? Can they, in good conscience, uphold our man-made constitution even when it conflicts with the Koran?
One example is Minnesota’s Democrat Congressman Keith Ellison. (aka Keith Hakim or Keith Ellison Muhammad) In answering these questions, does Congressman Ellison’s background allay any concerns. A black convert to Islam, Ellison was active with Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, has a history of supporting anti-Semites, cold-blooded cop-killers (Mumia Abu Jamal) and other questionable characters.
Even more frightening, Ellison’s campaign was substantially financed by prominent members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization many experts consider to be a Hamas front group. (See “The Real CAIR” by Joseph Farah on WorldNetDaily; “CAIR’s Pro-Hamas Press” by Joe Kaufman on FrontPageMag.com; and “CAIR: Islamists Fooling the Establishment” by Sharon Chada and Daniel Pipes, published by Middle East Quarterly.) He recently spoke at the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America, touted by counter-terrorism expert Steve Emerson as terrorist front groups. He also spoke at the North American Imams Federation (NAIF) and his lecture flowed into a session at the American Open University, a radical Wahabbi school that trains many of the NAIF Imams.
Reinforcing his pro-Islamist stance, was Ellison’s celebration speech in Dearborn, Mich.—the hotbed of Hezbollah supporters. He promised allegiance to Allah before a crowd cheering, “Allahu Akbar!” (Allah is great!)—the final words of the 9/11 hijackers before crashing into the Twin Towers.
CAIR’s charge that any criticism of Ellison stems from “Islamophobia” is bogus. Had Ellison’s past demonstrated a condemnation of terrorists, and exhibited moderation, inclusiveness, and tolerance, perhaps we could have entertained this criticism with some degree of credibility. However, Ellison’s extremist history makes CAIR’s allegation laughable.
At a time when we are engaged in a global war with radical Islam, it is alarming that citizens of the U.S. have elected someone who appears to be in bed with our enemy. To date, Keith Ellison’s alliances have been far from mainstream. But our real war is ideological. We will not achieve victory by appeasing Islamists and ignoring their goals of world domination in the name of political correctness. Freedom, including religious freedom for people of all faiths, is our greatest asset. But when an interpretation of one’s private faith crosses the line into a political ideology that conflicts with the freedoms and tolerance of others, we must take heed.
Ellison’s insistence on using the Koran at his private ceremony must be seen in the context of the incremental Islamatization of America. Some Muslim extremist groups, posing as mainstream, advocate actions to desensitize citizens to their anti-freedom goals and try to silence those who oppose them. Ellison’s swearing-in ceremony is just the beginning. Follow his money, his faith, and the company he keeps. I suspect his votes on the House floor will reflect more of the same—an allegiance to values contrary to the Judeo-Christian Bible, contrary to the goals of freedom and tolerance, and sympathetic to political agenda of CAIR.
Ellison is not the only Muslim in American politics who is grossly lying to and cheating Americans in pursuing a political career in furtherance of Islam and Sharia law over freedom. Just who is it that aids and supports radical Islam in speeches throughout the world and with arms and money carefully hidden from public view? Which politician is it that has been a practicing Wahhabi Muslim his entire adult life? Who is this monstrous fraud who’s profession of Christianity is purely a device to hide his true belief in Islam and thus help him get elected? Who is this man whose countless documented lies and deceptions are so blatant and monstrous as to be laughable, yet still Americans follow him like the children of Hamlin followed the pied piper?
Surely by now you know of whom I speak. His own words define him yet still Americans follow him like mesmerized sheep or lemmings, even to their own great loss or even death. He is Jim Jones on a monstrous scale asking all to drink his Kool-Aide of political and economic disaster in the name of raw hatred for America and Americans. He also works diligently against everything our founders believed, stood for, and wrote down in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. That man is the current President of the United States.
As far as I am concerned he is a consummate evil, an enemy of America and of free men everywhere. He is in league with those who attacked us on 9-11 and with all Islamic terrorists throughout the world. He is providing them arms and money, American taxpayer’s money and American arms. He is dedicated to the extermination of Israel and probably all Christians and Jews throughout Africa and the Middle East. Pay no attention to any of his political rhetoric, look only at what he has done. His record and that of his supporters speaks volumes. You cannot name one thing that has not been or does not promise to be an economic or political disaster for America and all Western nations.
The tragedy in Benghazi and the deaths of four Americans could have been averted. We had the military means to stop the attack and prevent the killing of the four Americans including the ambassador. I would like confirmation of who gave the repeated orders to stand down in the face of the Al Queda attack. Those orders could only have come from the President or with his instructions. And why did Obama, Hillary, and Susan Rice lie through their teeth about the attack being a reaction to that ridiculous video when that was an impossibility?
In my opinion, the Wahhabi influence in our government has been growing for a very long time. I think ACORN is controlled and managed by Wahhabis. I believe it was Wahhabi influence in the mortgage banking system that brought about the collapse of the mortgage market. Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines are not stupid men. I believe they deliberately created the mortgage crisis knowing full well what was going to happen. The achieved their goals and made hundreds of millions personally on the process.
I believe it was early Wahhabi influence that originally helped destroy Detroit. Not only have his Wahhabi minions engineered the greatest loss of real wealth middle class Americans have ever experienced, but they continue decimating the middle class with unemployment and low pay.
One of the countless bald-faced lies he has uttered during the current campaign was said in a Sunday campaign speech. He said, “Unemployment is dropping, jobs are being created, assembly lines are humming again, housing is expanding and a recovery is well underway, all from our policies.”
Not one of those statements bore any resemblance to the truth. What is really sad is that the media refused to call him on a single one. So much for our honest, objective, unbiased media.

If that's not enough, If you didn’t think your freedom and your life was in danger from Islam before, read this from someone in Holland.
WHAT'S AN INFIDEL?
The author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races.
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied,
'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President.
HJ NOTE: Big deal! We already have a Muslim President who is doing his utmost to destroy our nation. What is amazing to me is that people are stupid enough to vote for him.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
FOR FREEDOM'S SAKE...SEND THIS ON
Subject: THIS IS A TRUE STORY...and a dirty one!
