Islamic Jihad on our Children in America

Little Mommy Doll by Fisher-Price / Mattel

tells our children – Islam is the Light.

by Mr. H of The Chronicle watch

America is under Islamic attack on all sides, with the most recent at Fort Hood. It now seems that Islam is targeting our children right in our living rooms as we sleep while our children play with their dolls and video games. Islam has finally stepped to a new low in their propaganda war against the West. They have finally infiltrated the toy market by pushing their Islamic agenda with our children toys.

Have we gone past the point of no return? I hope and pray that we haven’t, but if Christians and the American people continue to sit in silence, then Islam has finally reached the American shores and the fate of Europe will now echo right here at home in America.

Islam has just declared jihad on our children, and the question is are you still going to sit in silence?

Please see the following videos below for a complete overview as to what is happening in a country that used to have strong Christian moral values and loved the Lord God.

May the one true God of Israel have Mercy on us all.

From this day forward, every single Christian must boycott any company or institution that supports Islamic ideologies.

Since Walmart, Target, Nintendo and Mattel / Fisher-Price wishes to keep a product on the market that intentionally deceives consumers by pushing Islamic agendas on our Children, then we must push back to make sure they hear our voices clearly by hitting them where it will hurt them the most; their profit margins.

Let me reiterate this, The Christian community in America must boycott every single company that sells products that push the Islamic agenda.

Islam is not the light; the only true light is Jesus Christ, the holy Son of God.

If you are a Christian, it is time to take a stance and decide if you are going to be a friend of God or a friend of the world.

If you are a friend of the world, then my friend you are an enemy of God, and an enemy of God will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

You can no longer have it both ways. Pick your side and stand firmly.

Coptic Priest Zakaria Botros Speaks Out

And I am listening…

by Jim Turner

Make no joke about it, when Zakaria Botros speaks, he means business.

Mr. Botros speaks from experience as he lives and breathes the tyranny of Islam daily; I mean after all he didn’t get the title, “Public Enemy #1” in the Islamic world for nothing.

Thinking about this, how does one get this title?

Mr. Zakaria Botros Speaks

Muslims Pretend to Be Nice People

Ok, I see, so if you tell the truth about what they believe without fear, without compromise, then I guess that puts you on the most wanted list, especially if others leave Islam for another religion like say Christianity?

Yup, so much for freedom of speech ; luckily we here in the west still live in a country that doesn’t believe in the removal of our freedom of speech or the partnering with an organization – (OIC) – that would wish that type of tyranny on any nation.

Unless, that freedom of speech puts Islam in any kind of negative light; weird how tolerance works for one group of people, but not another. It almost sounds like intolerance towards everything except Islam, but hey what do I know, I am just an ignorant westerner.

On a lighter note, I would like to give a SHOUT out to the Obama House, located near Capitol Hill where they just had the Islamic Day of Prayer.

And while we are speaking of the Islamic Day of Prayer that took place on our nation’s capitol, shall we watch some footage of the days events?

Oh yes, I think we shall…

And that my friends is CHANGE you can believe in.

America, are you starting to get it; is it finally starting to sink in? If it isn’t, then we better wake up very quickly and pull our heads from the sands in which they are buried, or Sharia will be knocking at our doors demanding each of us to embrace Islam, or, how can I say this gently, have your, “head cut off“.

Yes, in 2009 people are still being beheaded in Islamic countries for no other reason than being a person of different faith, especially if those people are of the Christian faith. You know the faith that America was founded on, a faith where recently a team of, “Christian Orphanage Workers”, in an Islamic country were executed for simply refusing to accept the peaceful beautiful tolerant ways of Islam .

I know, I can hear you all say; Jim, dude, this is America, and this will never happen here. There isn’t a single person of the Islamic faith that would ever want Sharia Law in this country, or Islam as the only religion in America.

And of course I would have to respond with the elegant words so eloquently spoken by the founder of CAIR, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant,” and, “The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

Yup, there goes that tolerance again, refreshing isn’t it? My favorite part on tolerance is how the Koran should be the highest authority in America and Islam the only religion on Earth. Unfortunately there might be just one issues with that statement, just thinking out loud here for second of course, is that if the Koran is religious then how could it become the law of the land especially with that little pesky separation of Church and State clause that we have here in America. You know the same clause that will not allow Christmas carols to be sung in school, the same clause that forbids the mention of God or prayer at certain events, yet the Koran as the highest authority in America?

Again only thinking out loud here, but maybe Islam isn’t only just a religion after all, maybe it is both a political system and a religion rolled into one?

Of course not, what was I thinking? For that to be the case, you would need someone elected to office in the branch of the government as some type of community organizer in order to be a political entity.

I mean come on, when have you ever heard of a Special Representative for Christians; remember the separation of Church and State thing?

Christians and Muslims; Different God

Christians and Muslims; Different God

By Mr. H

source Christians and Muslims; different God

According to the teaching of the Qur’an it is stated that Jesus Christ was not crucified nor did He die:

Surah 4.157

And because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh,” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of ‘Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]

The Qur’an then states that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God, but just a man.

Surah 9.030

And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh’s Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!

Surah 4.171

O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, (“Be!” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All¬Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.

With these surahs from the Qur’an we can verify exclusively that Christians and Muslims DO NOT worship the same God.

Why?

Because the Christian faith clearly states that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and that whoever believes in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will not perish, but have eternal life.

Jesus was not just a man.

John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (17) “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

In addition, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did in fact die of the cross for the sins of the world, and His Father in heaven raised Him from the dead on the third day.

These truths are not refutable as they are spoken from the true Word of God – The Holy Bible.

Jesus Upon the Cross

Matthew 27:35 And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

Matthew 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

Jesus Recognized as the Son of God

Matthew 27:54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!

Jesus Has Risen!

Matthew 28:5-10 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. (6) “He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. (7) “Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” (8) And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. (9) And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. (10) Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (19) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

By testing what the Qur’an claims as truths against Biblical teachings,

Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

We can clearly see that the Qur’an contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior as the Qur’an claims that God did not have a Son and that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross for the sins of man.

Therefore we can conclude that the followers of the Qur’an do not worship the God of the Bible as the evidence shows that the God of the Christians is different than that of Islam.

Why Obama Is Not A Christian; Part #1

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A NoCompromise Contributor…

…no one comes to the Father but through Me.

by Mr. H

As Christians we believe that the only way to salvation – everlasting life – is through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

There is no other possible way to enter the kingdom of heaven except through Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 NASB Jesus *said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

The issue at hand is that Mr. Obama who has stated on several occasions that he is a Christian speaks a doctrine that is not taught anywhere in the Christian Bible.

Interview with Cathleen Falsani

There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell…

I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.

I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity.

That’s just not part of my religious makeup[ 1 ]

One thing that Mr. Obama neglects to mention is that God gives each of us a conscience, and that conscience knows right from wrong.
God made Himself known from beginning of time.

Romans 1:18-20 NASB For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (19) because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. (20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.


source Rev. Don Hamer ; Christian Anti-Defamation Commission

As the reverend asks, “who are you going to believe, Obama or Jesus”? If you are a Christian then the answer is Jesus.

I leave you with these words of wisdom.

Proverbs 19:5 NASB A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.

Rape of the Truth–The Second Pillar of Secular Humanism

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

What is it?

What is it?

Truth, according to Realism, is not a subjective touchy feely process of dialectical thinking like our progressive friends have convinced themselves that it is. The traditional classical definition of truth is a correspondence between our subjective thoughts, and objective existence or reality. Our thoughts are not identical to reality and shouldn’t be confused with reality itself. However, our progressive counterparts, for the most part, believe that reality is entirely subjective, with all of reality being inside the brain of the perceiving subject with nothing independent of it. This philosophy is also known as Epistemological Subjectivism.

The reason this is so important to understand is because in this worldview, there is no duality between the subjective mind and the objective reality that could either correspond or contradict each other. In the world of the epistemological Subjectivist,  nothing can exist except what can be subjectively experienced. As a result, the above mentioned classical definition of Truth loses all

Today, truth is . . . .

Today, "truth" is . . .

meaning. The Secular Humanist and Postmodernist must redefine truth to fit into this monistic worldview. The most they can hope for in regard to Truth is that there is a consistency within their own thoughts and perceptions, but common sense and logic dictate that even their own perceptions can’t be trusted to be consistent, because they practice even the redefining of the meaning of consistency.

This has devastating consequences when these “thinkers” are in leadership i.e. governments, education, judiciary, business, and “Church,” etc. because the standard always changes. What is True and Right at one point in History becomes Wrong and Evil at another point in History.

Another devastating consequence is the Individual loses his un-a-lien-able Rights because this Individual and his Rights can simply be redefined to fit the vocal and subjectivistic, self-centered majority.

Yep, his notion of truth.

Yep, his notion of "truth".

A perfect example of this is the so-called hate crimes aka thought crimes against anyone who voices a public opinion against Homosexuality. As a result, homosexuals get “special protection” that is not extended to others outside of their privileged group, and totally destroys the unchanging Principle of “Equal Protection under the Law,” To acknowledge that there is such a thing as Equal Protection under the Law would imply that there is an objective principle independent and transcendent of any one particular group, which would repudiate the Secular Humanist and Postmodern mindset.

This Principle is a necessary corollary of the statement in the Declaration that says, “We hold these Truths to be Self-evident, that all Men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain un-a-lien-able Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Because such things as hate crimes is so repugnant to this Principle we truly can say that hate crime legislation completely violates and rapes Reason, Logic and Truth and simply is Un-American!

i1790-2005mar25.jpeg

Murdered because of another's so called "truth"

A Judicial Consequence of such Rape of the Truth is that people are denied substantive Due Process, which concerns itself with the correspondence between the Laws and the Facts of a case, and protects our Un-a-lien-able Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. As a result, a voiceless and handicapped Citizen of Florida was mercilessly tortured and murdered judicially before our very eyes because of the exclusive use of procedural Due Process, which only concerned itself with consistency within the Domain of Law and Court Procedure, completely ignoring the objective reality of a helpless woman’s life. If this can happen to One it can happen to All.

A personal decision makes it the Truth?

A personal decision makes it the Truth?

Another Judicial Rape of the Truth is seen in the Supreme Court case: “As the postmodernist majority opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court held in Planned Parenthood v.Casey, 505 US 833 (1992), at 851, ‘At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe and of the mystery of human life.’ This legal opinion was promulgated for the purpose of legitimizing the supposed license to kill unborn children.”

Here is a perfect example of those who are trusted with our Constitution and trusted to be honest and have integrity of intellectual thought who are suppose to be the best of American minds in American Jurisprudence setting precedent that the redefining of “one’s own concept of existence”is legitimate legal interpretation of what Life is defined to be in our Declaration.

Intolerance is their truth

Intolerance is their "truth."

The media buzz word for today is Tolerance. Let’s look at the word “tolerance” to see how it has been redefined over the decades. In Noah Webster’s 1828 edition dictionary the word tolerance meant, “The power or capacity of enduring; or the act of enduring” (hardship or burden). A. J. Conyer discusses the meaning of tolerance, “By extension toleration applies to enduring a wrong or an injustice.” To the Christian theist tolerance is a virtue associated with wisdom for the purpose of achieving some greater good by exercising tolerance and forbearance of a present wrong. Today in our postmodernist world culture the meaning has been redefined as “Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s culture, our forms of expression and ways of being human . . . . Tolerance is not concession, condescension or indulgence. Tolerance is, above all, an active attitude prompted by recognition of the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others” (UNESCO, 1995 p. 76).

UNLESS – -  you are a Believer in fundamental and unchanging Truth and Reality–you knuckle-dragging neanderthal YOU!

Can it contradict itself?  Ah, nope!

Can it contradict itself? Ah, nope!

In conclusion, Truth is not subjective. Truth is not Relative. There is a Reality independent of our perceptions, and the goal of life is to pursue Truth by conforming our thinking to transcendent, unchanging Reality. The goal is not to use the Law to harm others or to create protected classes of people so as to harm others who disagree with them or redefine our Constitution as a living, breathing document that changes with the whims and lusts of Man. When one group is arbitrarily benefited by Special Law,  others are harmed. Currently, America is being inundated by redefining Secular Humanists and Postmodernists and this will lead to the destruction of Western Civilization if Radical Islam doesn’t get us first.

Chag Sameach and Happy Easter

Tags: , , , , , , ,

We, at No Compromise, want to take a moment to wish you a Happy Passover, and a great time at your Easter festivities!

This is a wonderful time of year with trees and flowers waking up from their winter naps, and people coming out from their homes to enjoy the outdoors.

Happy Passover!

Happy Passover!

It’s also the time of year when Christians and Messianic celebrate Yeshua delivering them from our bondage from sin! Jews celebrate their Exodus and being delivered from slavery in Egypt!

Slavery is a picture of sin when discussed in the Bible. At our house, we have a seder on the night of Passover which is, for lack of a better term, a play where we each of us read from a Haggadah, and go through the events that lead up to the delivery of the Jews from bondage in Egypt. However, we also

add the events of Yeshua’s arrest, death, burial, and resurrection during this Feast of Passover 1,976 years ago. It’s beautiful depicted and shows one how much they are loved.

CIVILIZATIONAL DEATHWATCH
AWAY WITH THE MANGER
Every child should be unwanted

By MARK STEYN

This is the time of year, as Hillary Rodham Clinton once put it, when Christians celebrate “the birth of a homeless child” – or, in Al Gore’s words, “a homeless woman gave birth to a homeless child.”

Just for the record, Jesus wasn’t “homeless.” He had a perfectly nice home back in Nazareth. But he happened to be born in Bethlehem. It was census time, and Joseph was obliged to schlep halfway across the country to register in the town of his birth. Which is such an absurdly bureaucratic overregulatory cockamamie Big Government nightmare that it’s surely only a matter of time before Massachusetts or California reintroduce it.

But the point is: The Christmas story isn’t about affordable housing. Joseph and Mary couldn’t get a hotel room – that’s the only accommodation aspect of the event. Sen. Clinton and Vice President Gore are over complicating things: Dec. 25 is not the celebration of “a homeless child,” but a child, period.

Just for a moment, let us accept, as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins and the other bestselling atheists insist, that what happened in Bethlehem two millennia is a lot of mumbo-jumbo. As I wrote a year ago, consider it not as an event but as a narrative: You want to launch a big new global movement from scratch. So what do you use?

The Hypocrisy of Those Who Practice Islam

December 10, 2007
Of Teddy Bears and Cartoons
by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services

Here we go again. Thousands of Sudanese Muslims took to the street last week to threaten death to a British schoolteacher in Khartoum.

Her crime? She inadvertently committed the felony of allowing her class to name a teddy bear “Muhammad.”

The teacher, Gillian Gibbons, has been pardoned by Sudan’s president (after initially being sentenced to 15 days in prison) and sent home to England. Yet that happy ending doesn’t erase the reaction in the streets of Khartoum. The tired story behind irrational anger in much of the Muslim world remains the same.

Watch out if Westerners somewhere are judged blasphemous to Islam when they draw a cartoon, write a novel, make a movie or discuss history.

In their furious reaction, thin-skinned Muslims may issue death threats. And they expect apologies. Sometimes the offense — like the reporting of a Koran flushed down the toilet at Guantanamo Bay — turns out to be false but still causes riots and murdering thousands of miles away.

Likewise, the reaction to this madness is now stereotyped. Often apologies — not condemnation — follow from contrite Westerners. To prevent a recurrence, Western writers, filmmakers, teachers and religious figures quietly edit their work and restrict their speech — but only when Islam is involved.

So-called moderate Muslims, often residing in Western countries, will usually say they deplore such extremism on the part of radicals. Then they claim such intolerance is simply not typical of Islam. Or that the embarrassing story has been reported in exaggerated fashion by those prejudiced against Muslims.

Few, though, ever explain why it is that Muslims — not Hindus, Christians, Buddhists or atheists — are in the global news threatening to kill someone over a toy or a cartoon or an opera.

UPDATE: Two different shootings at two different Christian organizations kill four over weekend in Colorado!

4 shot outside Colorado Springs church

******
by GEORGE MERRITT, Associated Press Writer

capt58189756f3dc4573afb7d7b685afc6d1missionary_shooting_codz104.jpgARVADA, Colo. – A gunman walked into a training center dormitory for young Christian missionaries early Sunday and opened fire, killing two of the center’s staff members and wounding two others. No arrests had been made by late morning.

The shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission center, police spokeswoman Susan Medina said. About 45 people were evacuated from the dormitory in this Denver suburb and moved to an undisclosed location.

A man and a woman were killed and two men were wounded, Medina said.

All four victims were staff members, said Paul Filidis, a Colorado Springs-based spokesman with Youth With a Mission.
