By now, you've likely seen shots like this of JR's iconic Tadami Line as it crosses over the misty river below. Alas, there's so much more to this charming little line than a quick photo op for the 'Gram, from a clifftop temple to carbonated onsen. https://t.co/y8szlBnm1D

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races.
Last month, my friend attended a training. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.
She was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was her turn, she directed her question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by unaliving an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, " Nonbelievers"
She responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to unalive everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
She then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to unalive those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
She continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to unalive me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to unalive me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US. to elect the President.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.

If you ask the average Gazan if they want Israel flattened, they would without hesitation say yes.

If you ask the average Israeli whether they want Gaza flattened, they would immediately call you an extremist and walk away.

If you ask the average Arab living in Ramallah whether he thinks Jews should be able to walk around freely, he might actually physically assault you.

If you ask the average Israeli whether he thinks Arabs should be able to walk around freely, he would look at you confused and ask you why that’s even a question.

If you ask the average Arab in Jenin whether he wants all Jews dead, his response would be “obviously“.

If you ask the average Israeli whether he wants all Muslims dead, he would probably report you to the police.

If you ask 99% of Israeli society whether they want peace with their neighbors, they would not even understand the question because the answer is obviously yes.

If you ask the average Arab whether they want peace with Israel, again, they would probably physically assault you and call you a dirty Zionist.

If you ask the average religious Israeli what he wants for his children, he would tell you how he wants them to grow up and make the world a better place.

If you ask the average religious Muslim what he wants for his children, he would tell you that he wants him to die as a shahid, but not before killing as many Jews as possible.

If you ask the average Israeli how he thinks his country should be run, he would respond that he wants a liberal democracy with freedom for all.

If you ask the average Muslim how he thinks his country should be run, he would say Sharia law.

If you go to an average Israeli march or protest, you will see many people waving flags, singing songs, and embracing.

If you go to an average pro-Palestine march or protest, you will see violence, anti-Semitic chants, and a whole lot of hate.

If you hear a Christian saying “Praise the Lord“, you say “Amen”. If you hear a Jew saying “Baruch Hashem”, you smile. If you hear a Muslim saying “Allah Akbar”, you better run for your life.

If you ask a person who identifies as Palestinian to show you any history of his people, any archaeology, any inventions, any proof that Palestine ever existed, he would either call you names or actually assault you.

If you ask an Israeli to show you any history of his people, he will show you deep roots, endless contributions to the world, Nobel prizes, and breakthroughs in every area of life.

Tell me again who is the obstacle to peace.

Tell me again who is responsible for all the chaos in the West today.

Tell me again who is guilty of genocide and apartheid.

You’ve been duped.

Radical Islam is hands-down the most serious challenge to the continuity of Western civilization.

Wake up.

Statement of Fmr Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on the Bondi Beach Hanukkah Massacre and the wave of Antisemitism in Australia:

*The writing was on the wall. The Australian government bears responsibility.*

Tonight Jews were attacked in Australia in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre.

A Jewish holiday gathering turned into a scene of terror.

This is a moment of grief, and time for accountability.

I have just spoken with several Jewish community leaders in Sydney.

They are fearful and outraged.
For months they warned of rising antisemitism.
The writing was on the wall. It was ignored.

This violence did not come out of nowhere.
When antisemitic hatred is tolerated and threats are downplayed, attacks become inevitable.

I demand that the Australian government take immediate, decisive action to protect Jewish communities and confront antisemitism as the serious threat it is.

Statements of sympathy are no longer enough.
Jews should not have to fear for their lives anywhere, including Australia.

Hezbollah has fired THOUSANDS of rockets from Lebanon at Israeli civilians since October 7.

Every single rocket has an address and is meant to kill.

What would you do if that address was yours?

[Bishop J. Strickland @BishStrickland]

The irony of an electrical power outage in Paris in the wake of the blasphemous & debauched opening ceremonies of the Olympics should be noted. The evil on display mocks God’s power and then the city is left powerless. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus guide us in His powerful Light.
