Crime and Terror Have No Religion

November 24th, 2009

Crime and terror have no religion, they are actions committed by individuals of all races, genders, religions, nationalities, and social/economic status.

There are no religiously transmitted crimes as there are genetically transmitted diseases.

The Holy Qur’an, in particular, declares that killing a human being is tantamount to killing “all humanity.”
 I am told the Bible also speaks of killing of another human being as wrong.
In Wicca I am told that their prime rule is to “Do No Harm.”
I would summize that all religions teach that killing another human being is wrong.

Needless to say, when the crime is individual – not committed by a community – the accusation or condemnation should be made along individual lines, and not extended to members of the same family, community, nationality, ethnicity or faith.

Mainstream Media, especially in the USA, have brainwashed many people into incorrectly thinking that Terrorist and Islamic are synonymous. This ethno-centered hatred is definitely not in accord with the US Constitution and Bill of Rights – or any of the additional Amendments of the Founding Documents.

Thomas Jefferson complained about a similar phenomenon in his time, foreshadowing similar practices today, he said: “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate to prefer the latter.

Should the American public waver between ignoring the newspaper and remain “uninformed,” or peruse the newspaper, and grow “misinformed?”

According to statistical data from the US Dept of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division for 2008, there were 16,272 murders, 89,000 forcible rapes, and 441,855 robberies. Also in 2008 there were 14,005,615 arrests for crimes other than traffic violations.

Now here’s another fact that might surprise you: 69.2% of persons arrested were white, 28.3% black, and the remaining 2.4% were of other races.

75.5% of the arrests were male, that means 24.5% were female and just 12.2% of the 14,005,615 arrests (that’s 1,708,685) in 2008 were for drugs. How’s that War On Drugs working for y’all?

Violent crime rate 454.5 per 100,000 inhabitants
Metropolitan areas 489.0 per 100,000
Nonmetropolitan areas 392
Rural areas 205.1

Homicide rate of 5.4 per 100,000
Metropolitan areas 5.7 per 100,000
Nonmetropolitan areas 3.5
Rural areas 3.4

Property crime rate 3212.0 per 100,000
Metropolitan areas 3352.0 per 100,000
Nonmetropolitan areas 3746.5 per 100,000
Rural areas 1681.1 per 100,000

According to the Pew Public Safety Performance Project, in 2008, the USA prison population reached more than 1 in 99.1 adults.

80% of the US prison population consider themselves Christians, so it sure seems to me that it is the Christians that we should be leery of, it is the Christians who commit the majority of the crimes in the USA, and it is the Christians who make up the greatest percentage of prison population.

In 1995 when Timothy McVeigh, a US Army Veteran, Christian and registered Republican, bombed the Alfred P Murray Building in Oklahoma City killing 168 people. Reportedly it was McVeigh’s attempt to “inspire a revolt” against a “tyrannical federal government.” His actions, in my view, can be classified as an act of terrorism. But the mainstream media avoided making any references to his Irish heritage, Catholic religion or political party affiliation. Irish-Americans, Catholics, Army Veterans and Republicans were not hated for their shared heritage, religion or political preferences. McVeigh’s actions were the terrorist acts of an individual.

What has happened to mainstream media? What/Who is really behind their new brainwashing journalistic tactics? Why are they so insistent on causing an Islamophobia Pandemic? Why are Americans buying into this crap? WAKE UP!

If I were one to stereotype groups based upon their history of deeds, I would say that Christians are Terrorists. This is no more wrong than Christians publically associating Islam with Terrorism, so if my statement makes you mad – do something about it: Quit Stereotyping People Of Different Religious Views! Let your local media know that you are no longer buying into their brainwashing!

In the United Nations….
There is a movement among several Muslims nations in the General Assembly to make “Christianity” a criminal entity, and I tend to agree based upon the history of that religion.

57-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Nations has adopted the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, which states that all rights are subject to Shari’ah Law and makes Shari’ah Law the only source of reference for human rights. The 57 member Nations are in the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkans, Southeast Asia and South Asia.

The newest “anti-defamation” plan was submitted in March. It specifically cites a declaration “adopted by the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers” at a meeting in Islamabad “which condemned the growing trend of Islamophobia and systematic discrimination against adherents of Islam.”

It also cites the dictates from the OIC meeting in Dakar, “in which the Organization expressed concern at the systematically negative stereotyping of Muslims and Islam and other divine religions.”

It goes on to cite a wide range of other practices that “target” Islam, but does not mention any other religions, and urges all nations to provide “adequate protection against acts of hatred, discrimination, intimidation and coercion resulting from the defamation of any religion.”

Terrorism Happy

November 10th, 2009

Not happy about terrorism, but freely using the term “terrorism” to describe any and all crimes committed by non-Christians certainly seems to be in abundance these days in the USA.

Why is it that when a non-Christian commits a crime it is considered an act of terrorism?

The US Constitution and Bill of Rights are so invisible to the Christian Majority in the USA who arrogantly believe they are entitled to persecute and ridicule non-Christians for their beliefs. Moreover, that it is their Christian Duty to do so.

1493 – Catholic Pope Alexander VI in the “Papal Bull of 1493” declared that the Indigenous people of the New World were without souls, not savable, in essence, that they were sub-human.

1878 – gathering up the children on Tribal Lands taking them away from their families, language, and culture for the sole purpose of “making” them into Christians. The Carlisle Indian School (circa 1878,) founded by US Army Captain Richard H Pratt, developed and implemented a variety of boarding school brainwashing techniques which became the standard for additional Indian Boarding Schools throughout the USA .

1- forbidden to speak their own language
2- forbidden to practice their religion
3- forced to memorize Christian Bible verses and prayers in English
4- forbidden to be called by their names, forced to use Christian names
The list goes on and on.

Over 100,000 little children were forced through Indian Boarding Schools from 1878 to 1929. Most of these “schools” were run by Christian church organizations who were paid handsome tuitions by the US Government – their goal: “kill the Indian, not the man” [or woman] and claim final victory over the First Nations Peoples.

This, in my opinion, was terrorism. Yet the Christian tell of it as “saving the savages.”

I thank the People of the Two Frog Website for posting a wealth of information and stories and encourage you to visit http://www.twofrog.com/rezsch.html

The atrocities continued.

Dec 29, 1893- Wounded Knee over 300 unarmed women, children and men under surrender were killed.

1894- the US outlawed the religious practices of the First Nations People. Yes, outlawed the Freedom of Religion which was an “inalienable right” mandated in the First Amendment of the US Bill of Rights. This law was in effect until 1978 when the American Indian Religious Freedom Act was signed into US Federal Law by a join resolution of Congress.

In 1999, I was visiting friends in Washington when their young daughter came home from school and burst into tears. Her father asked her what was the matter. The girl did not answer. Her mother then asked the same question. The girl replied that in school that day she was taught that her ancestors were “savages and killers” and not the loving caring people she had been taught about through her own family history. More than that, the other children in her class began making fun of her.

Ok, so why am I bringing this up here and now?

Last week, a non-Christian officer of the US Army, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who after years of ridicule for his devotion to his religious beliefs – including mockery for his strict devotion to the five daily calls to prayer – could endure the mockery of his “Brothers-In-Arms” no longer.

This man regularly attended religious services, was kind to everyone, cared for his family well, and worked to assist wounded soldiers in their psychological recoveries. He upheld the teachings of the Holy Qur’an to the best of his ability (as does over 1/5 of the world population.) Yet this US Army Officer was under constant ridicule for doing so.

How much ridicule can one man endure? What may happen when one is brought to the breaking point? The answer in this instance was to completely place one’s fate in the hands of Allah and fight back against those who for so long had ridiculed him.

The national media is using and abusing the term “terrorism” to describe this tragedy; yet, I believe that had this man’s “Brothers-In-Arms” opted to have respect for a religion other than their own, or even practiced “doing unto others as they would have done unto them” this and many other tragedies would have been avoided.

It is my opinion that the arrogance of so many Christians was the real cause of this tragedy just as the same arrogance created the tragedies against the First Nations Peoples.

In the words of the famous Hunkpapa Oyate Leader Tatanka Iyotanka (Sitting Bull,) who was assassinated on December 15, 1890: “Let us put our minds together, and see what life we will make for our children.”

I pray, in my own religious ways, that my words will reach the hearts and minds of many, and that together we will see what life we will make for the generations yet to come.

Folks, this is an excellent old cartoon. It explains what is currently happening to the USA.

I am certain that it would prove beneficial to those in Our Grand Ol’ Republic who lacked discernment when they voted in the last few elections. Those who failed to grasp the grand scheme of the socialist agenda to tear down Our US Constitution and the Freedoms and Liberties it provides us with.
