Eagle Forum Award Presented to TMLC's President; His Speech on Sharia Law - Richard Thompson’s 45 minute speech on Sharia law to the packed auditorium dealt with the internal threat posed to the United States by those Muslims who follow Sharia law. He debunked the notion advanced by many of our political leaders that “Islam is a religion of peace.” He referred to the remarks of Omar Ahmad, one of the founders of CAIR (Counsel on American-Islamic Relations), that Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant.

According to Thompson, Muslims who believe in Sharia law seek to destroy America because their religion demands it.  This is their holy war, jihad, against non-Muslims.  No amount of compromise and accommodation will quench that hate.  It merely emboldens them. Thompson expressed his concern that too many Americans are ill-informed about the true nature of Islam and so are fertile grounds for Islamic propaganda.  Muslims seeking to overthrow our government and values waging a campaign of “Stealth Jihad” have infiltrated every level of our national government, our two main political parties, and major universities.

Thompson cautioned that Americans should be aware of the Islamic concept of Taqiyya, which allows devout Muslims to lie, even act as a non-Muslim, if in their opinion; it will be good for Islam.  Since the goal of Jihad is to make Islam supreme, every lie to achieve that goal is acceptable. For instance when Muslims are weaker than their opponents, they will feign “Islam is a religion of peace.” 

Iranian Women Declare War Against the Mullahs (Family Security Matters July 14, 2008) - ...Iranian women had total equal rights and had fought a valiant battle to once again become partners of their men ... But it did not last long. By 1971, Iranian women had total equal rights and had fought a valiant battle to once again become partners of their men in running the affairs of the country. But it did not last long. Although Khomeini had, in an interview, announced to the Guardian and other media that women's rights will not change under his Islamic government, one of his first acts was repealing the laws that guaranteed the women's rights, re-imposing the Sharia laws. ...Since the establishment of the Islamic government in Iran in 1979, women have counted as one-half of a man. They do not get the custody of their children. They do not have the choice in their clothing, residence, leaving the house, working, education or traveling without the permission of their husband. The age at which girls are allowed to marry is nine. Men can divorce the women at any time they wish and can marry several wives in addition to them. Girls inherit one-half of that which boys do and so on. State-owned press reports that in Tehran, 120 women have been hung in public in the first five months of the Iranian year; that suicide among the women of Iran has been the highest in world history. ...A group of women attempted to establish a political party. They have been in the 209 - solitary - section of the dreaded Evin prison for the last nine months. Last year another group of women attempted to collect one million signatures against the unjust Mullah laws. Hundreds of women joined them nationwide in less than 48 hours to collect signatures, but they were all arrested, beaten and imprisoned. One year later on June 12th, 2008, nine more women were arrested from the crowd that had gathered in the town square commemorating the last year's arrests.

AN ILLUSTRATION BRUCE LEE WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD
by Joseph Richard Ravitts

      Topping the ridge that looks down into town, Young Hero is in a position to see from a considerable distance what happens next. A terrified scream in a familiar voice directs his eyes to a distressing sight below. His pure hearted, mild-mannered sister has been slung over the shoulder of a low-ranking thug, known as Low-Ranking Thug. This cheap hoodlum and five of his even-cheaper pals are loudly and coarsely boasting to each other of their manly achievement in overpowering one girl who has no kung-fu training, and mocking the victim with declarations of their unspeakable intentions toward her.

        In scenes prior to this point, Young Hero and Innocent Maiden have bent over backwards trying to turn the other cheek in encounters with Low-Ranking Thug. Obviously, however, these crooks reflect a different place in Scripture: Isaiah 26:10, which says, "If favor is shown to the wicked, he DOES NOT learn righteousness." Young Hero, in any case, is a Buddhist; but right now, he forgets all that Buddhistic stuff about not having any attachments to anything, and remembers family instead.

      This being low-budget kung-fu, we don't get to watch Young Hero flying through the air in one unbroken take to reach his endangered sister half a mile away. Instead, he jumps ten inches up in the air; the camera cuts before he comes down from this jump; and the next shot shows him springing from off-camera into the midst of the bad guys. But the fight action that follows makes up for the lack of Peter Pan wire-work, as Young Hero singlehandedly pounds Low-Ranking Thug and the other would-be rapists into dim sum. Once making certain that Innocent Maiden is safe, Young Hero  picks up the one bad guy still conscious enough to be spoken to, and snarls at him, "Tell your evil master, Intimidating White-Haired Villain, that we won't put up with you hoodlums anymore!"

      But when the good guy and his sister get home, they find out why the script calls their father Cowardly Noodle. Knowing, absolutely KNOWING, that Young Hero did what he did only because there was NO other way to save his sister from being raped and possibly killed, Cowardly Noodle nonetheless yells curses and rebukes at his son: "You idiot! You're always making trouble! This will provoke Intimidating White-Haired Villain!" Never mind that the villain already came to their town from 200 miles away with advance intentions of preying upon it, and has already been terrorizing people WITHOUT any "provocation;" Cowardly Noodle finds it easier to yell at his son, who he knows won't kill him for it, than to face the truth. He even accuses Innocent Maiden of supposedly enticing Low-Ranking Thug; then he goes off to grovel at the feet of Intimidating White-Haired Villain.

      Fortunately, despite Cowardly Noodle's craven self-deception and ingratitude, Young Hero, with the help of Eccentric Old Master, will kill Intimidating White-Haired Villain in the end (and the words "The End" will appear over freeze-frame before the villain's dead body even hits the ground). Unfortunately, Cowardly Noodle will go on to become a United Nations official, or maybe (without ceasing to be a Buddhist) assume a leadership role in one of America's liberal church denominations.

      In his new capacity, Cowardly Noodle will review the facts of the Middle East: Israel's people outnumbered more than twenty to one by their enemies, Israel's efforts at concession and compromise INVARIABLY rewarded with more terrorist attacks, Hamas taking control of the Palestinian Authority with advance declarations of its intention to destroy Israel entirely, and Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin taking time away from suppressing journalists to cozy up to Hamas. What will Cowardly Noodle conclude? Of course--blame Israel!

      Trying to play on American sympathy for underdogs, Cowardly Noodle will talk about Palestinian poverty...while willfully pretending not to know that this poverty would not even exist if Yasser Arafat (that "Palestinian" leader from Egypt) had not siphoned huge amounts of aid money to his own Swiss bank accounts. Above all, he will play the moral-equivalence game, speaking of a symmetrical "cycle of violence"--as if there were Israelis talking about killing every Muslim in the world, the way Islamo-fascists DO talk about killing all Jews. And, as ALWAYS happens when this game is played, he will
progress rapidly from "both sides being equally guilty" to the relatively-innocent side being MORE EQUALLY guilty. So what if, during the Desert Storm campaign, Israel did what NO other nation was ever asked to do--refrain voluntarily from retaliating even as it was being FIRED UPON with missiles? That won't stop Cowardly Noodle from saying that Israel is the stubborn, rigid, unreasonable side in the situation.

       The mullah-crats of Iran are stating openly their desire to obliterate Israel. These are the same thugs who committed a clear and unmistakable ACT OF WAR against the United States when they unlawfully seized our embassy in Tehran; and Jimmy Carter's Cowardly-Noodle-style diplomacy did nothing to discourage their malice. What, then, is the current solution offered by so many liberal churches and university faculties in America? Why, of course--yell at Young Hero, grovel at the feet of Intimidating White-Haired Villain, and disinvest in Israel!

      Not that the Republican side is entitled to a free pass at this point. I'm still trying to figure out just what reason Mr. Bush can possibly have to make his deal with the United Arab Emirates, which gave diplomatic recognition to the TALIBAN while refusing to recognize Israel's right to exist at all.

      But maybe Mr. Bush is looking ahead at possibly being forced to take action against the Iranian regime. In such a crisis, we might well need to use air bases in a place like the U.A.E. We certainly could not expect help from "allies" like Turkey--not with Turks crowding to watch the movie "Valley of the Wolves," which was made to promote the LIE that American soldiers are psychopathic murderers.
 
      While Hollywood whimpers and sulks about imaginary threats of McCarthyism and homophobia, the real world is serving up some REAL dangers. Things could get a lot worse very quickly; and when they do, there won't be time for us to be only just beginning then to understand world politics. If we don't realize NOW who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, sudden panic may easily stampede us into blaming the innocent while brown-nosing the guilty.

      For decades, Muslims in Israel have in FACT enjoyed more civil liberties than they would in MUSLIM nations. Also for decades, wealthy Muslim oil states could easily have provided for the Palestinian people--but purposely chose to leave them in limbo so that Israel would be blamed. Something is going on here that's been going on since Muhammad plundered the Jewish merchant colonies of Arabia in the name of Allah. But even if God actually allowed all Jews living today to be killed off by Islamo-fascists, does anyone really think that those fascists would then say, "Okay, that's all we wanted,
now we'll leave everyone else in peace"?

      Fundamentalist Muslim doctrine has one term which identifies all territory NOT ruled by fundamentalist Muslims: Dar al-Harb, which is Arabic for "House of War." That means that ANY place not under Sharia law is fair game to be attacked whenever it suits Muslims to do so. No amount of appeasement by Cowardly Noodles will EVER change this view of the world on the part of creatures like the Hamas gangsters. Conversion of the gangsters to faith in Jesus WOULD change it; but a postmodernist liberal church that refuses to see anything wrong with those gangsters is not likely to try hard to convert them, is it?

      If evil can be overcome with love and grace, that's the most desirable outcome. I never start out assuming that we're so far into the End Times that nothing more can be done. But how can love and grace transform evil if we're not even clear about what and where the evil is? It's late at night as I write this, and I'm getting too tired to leaf through Isaiah again, but I can assure you it DOES contain these important words: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil!" [ETH Edit - Isaiah 5:20] Condemning Israel for trying to defend its own existence, while making excuses for terrorists who lay their genocidal plans on the table face-up, is not Christian peacemaking. It is cowardice.
