When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert.
Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold.
In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4.
He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself.
Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp.
You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets.
Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85.
You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest.
The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain.
One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control.
And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time.
The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24.
It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper.
Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries.
The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it.
I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol.
Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it.
The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.
Gikomba fires will never stop as long as the market is semi permanent, cartels charge rent on land they don't own, the market is haphazardly planned with loose electric connections all over. The solution is the modernization program currently ongoing anything else is noise
Thank you Col. Spencer, no military takes more measures to minimize civilian casulaties than the IDF and no nation is attacked by more propoganda than Israel. Truth and Israel will prevail.
‼️⭕️REPEATED CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS: Hezbollah launched 50+ projectiles toward IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon.
In order to remove threats & in response to Hezbollah’s blatant violations, the IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites & terrorists in southern Lebanon throughout the night.
As someone who has been speaking at post budget seminars that never made it beyond business pages of the dailies for 30+ years, politicization of public finance may be the biggest achievement of my public life—our Mara Declaration has succeeded beyond my wildest expectations. 🤔
Today I am just happy for tje great people of Nyandarua. Most people were settled here by the Jomo Kenyatta government because their lands in Muranga, Nyeri and Kiambu (There is even a village known as Munyeki, an acronym of the 3 Districts) were acquired by both Mzungu colonialists or the new Kikuyu elites that took over with Jomo. For over 60 years the new Wild West that is Nyandarua could not be gifted even with a lands rwgistry. We still have people in 'colonial' villages who have no title deeds. Today we fix this eyesore of intra-Kikuyu historical injustice. We give Nyandarua both a lands registry and title deeds. Your question- Why are you doing this when there is a by election? My question- Why have we not done it in over 60 years including 3 Kikuyu Presidents ?
President Trump, let's be honest. Syria fought Hezbollah for 12 years and couldn't defeat it. It was only after Israeli airstrikes destroyed Hezbollah's infrastructure in Damascus and provided air superiority during the opposition's advance that Assad's five-decade rule collapsed on December 8, 2024. The lesson? If you want to dismantle Hezbollah, you need Syria and Israel working together, not replacing one force with another. And if that's the goal, perhaps don't make a deal with the Islamic regime in Iran, the very regime that sponsors Hezbollah.
Sitting next to the Qataris, President Trump spoke about the current Iranian leadership. He described them as “very rational people. They are nice to deal with, they are strong and smart people. They are not radicalized, and they are looking to help their country."
They are all loyalists to the Ayatollah who chant Death to America.
Who is giving the President tainted, pro-Islamic intel?
Iran just plotted to assassinate @IvankaTrump. How is that not radical?
The current Iranian regime supported the Ayatollah’s assassination plots against President Trump.
A deal with Iran must recognize that this regime has no desire to be a responsible member of the community of nations. They do not regret the last 47 years nor think it was a mistake to kill Americans. They are all radical Islamists.
Any funds available to the regime - whether paid to them directly, provided by sanctions relief or via releasing escrowed funds - will go straight toward rebuilding the IRGC military capabilities and its terrorist proxies. When your enemy is at its weakest - win.
CJ Maraga...How did you pay for your Kids to attend the Elite St Andrews Turi? How did you pay for your kids to study at top English Universities? What is source of the millions you used to buy your kids expensive apartments in exclusive hoods in Nairobi? On a salary of Kshs 400k?
As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for “peace”, the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8th and 9th.
This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime. To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.
Dealing with this regime will fail and we will all face the consequences. The regime’s 47-year war against the Iranian people continues. Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world.
The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them center in any negotiations and in their Iran policy. But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fall. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny.
"Unless you were homeschooled by a day drinker, no one's confident that Iran is going to do anything."
Sen. John Kennedy gives his blunt assessment about how he thinks Iran will behave after the Trump administration's new agreement with the regime.
The Louisiana senator says it's impossible to know what the Islamic Republic's next move will be as the U.S. tries to curb its nuclear ambitions.
🚨 WATCH: Ben Domenech: "This deal and everything we know about it to the degree it is being spun by this administration—everything about this deal seems bad to me. It all seems like a setback. It doesn’t meet any of the measures the president put out there of his goals for this conflict. At some point the Republican Party needs to decide which kind of foreign policy it’s going to have. An American first policy... Or are we going to backslide into being some kind of ‘hillbilly Obama’ kind of GOP? That’s not something that is acceptable to me, and it shouldn’t be acceptable to Republicans or any conservative who is interested in the success of America.”
According to Axios, CIA Director John Ratcliffe warned President Trump and other senior officials that U.S. intelligence has uncovered evidence casting significant doubt on Iran’s willingness to accept the nuclear concessions Washington is seeking in a final agreement.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly shared those concerns, raising questions about the proposed memorandum of understanding.
Vice President Vance, along with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, argued in favor of moving forward with the deal.
