An Important Text For Westerners To Be Aware Of

From The Religion of Conquest:

This volume likely represents the single most important book that Westerners, and specifically Europeans, should read to understand the danger that looms before them. Those things which Islamic apologists, activists and their media sympathizers repeatedly tell us are wrong and are a result of “xenophobia” on the part of critics appear in this volume as authentic rulings, for it is a nearly all-encompassing manual of traditional Islamic rulings on daily life and more from the Shafi Fiqh, or Shafi School of Islamic thought, contains universal rulings which apply to all Sunni Muslims, and has the Islamic version of an Imprimatur from the Islamic Research Academy of Al-Azhar University of Cairo, Egypt and the International Institute of Islamic Thought’s North American headquarters in Herndon, Virginia. If anyone has doubts of the danger we face from Islam, this volume will dispel those doubts, vindicate critics, and silence apologists. Selections from the book follow.

Sweat Lodge Altered by New Age Equals Death

(Videos updated 2019)

An update on the cult associated somewhat with Oprah Winfrey (who is very much involved in the New Age) from Religion News Blog:

Jurors in the manslaughter trial of James Arthur Ray have heard the complete briefing the self-help author gave to dozens of people before they entered a northern Arizona sweat lodge ceremony he conducted, AP reports.

Prosecutors had earlier played snippets of the recording, but defense attorneys contended the snippets had been presented out of context.

CNN says:

In the recording, Ray told participant, who paid up to $10,000 each to attend the event, that as “true spiritual warriors” and their “altered state” they would endure heat so intense it would make it feel like their skins was coming off of their bodies.

“I will be right there with you,” he said.

“You will have to get to a point where you surrender to death,” Ray said. “When you are going into the lodge symbolically you are going back into the womb of mother earth.”

“It is such a great metaphor ” the author said. “My body dies but I never die.”

Prosecutors maintain Ray psychologically pressured participants to remain in the lodge even when they weren’t feeling well, contributing to their deaths.

More Attacks in Egypt by Muslims

  • On march 8 2011, Coptic Christians have been attacked by angry radical muslims, up until now, 7 are killed and more than 60 critically injured.

Libertarian Republican points out well that since the fall of the government in Egypt, Christians have been under increasing attack. There was video of an attack by the Egyptian military I highlighted from LR a while ago that seems to be becoming the norm.

About 15,000 Muslims attacked Coptic Christians in a suburb near Cairo on Wednesday. 9 Christians were killed.

The LA Times called the violence, the “deadliest unrest since President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.”

From AINA:

According to Father Abram Fahmy, pastor of St. Simon the Tanner Monastery in Mokatam Hills, on the outskirts of Cairo, Copts were killed and injured today in a fresh attack by Muslims. It was reported the Egyptian army fired live ammunition on Copts. The attack has claimed until now the lives of 9 Copts and injured 150, 45 seriously.

Muslims threw fire balls at the Monastery from the top of the hills. Coptic youth have arrested five of them, who are now being held within the Monastery grounds, waiting to be handed over to the authorities.

Arguing Against Oneself-NICHOLAS KRISTOF

NewsBusters Notes:

NICHOLAS KRISTOF: I’m sure that at mosques around this country, especially the more radical mosques, this is going to be seen as one more evidence that people are picking on us.

So Kristof acknowledges the existence in America of “radical mosques.” Isn’t that the very proof of the need for inquiry along the lines Peter King is conducting? What Kristof suggests sounds like appeasement.  People in “radical mosques” might feel like they’re under scrutiny?  Good.
