Unraveling Sudan & Darfur

THE HEARALDING OF AN ISLAMIC MESSIAH is a growing concern since Iran’s President Ahmadinejad continues to make reference to his soon coming, declaring that the Mahdi mission is to aright the world and make Islam the last standing religion. Evidently in the 1800s, an Arab named Abdul Muhammad declared himself to be the Mahdi and set in motion a diabolical plan of violence and chaos, recognized by Islamic theology as the signs following the messianic arrival. He slaughtered infidels, including Britain’s General Charles Gordon and all his men in Khartoum.
 
And today, Sudan’s capital city is still the launching pad for Arab Islamic genocide, both in Darfur and in south Sudan. Millions of innocent have been slaughtered to the point of survivors walking across burning deserts from southern Sudan to find freedom. Over 2,000 Sudanese refugees have made their way through Egypt and escaping across the Israeli borders. (read editorial)

Israeli Concessions, Arab Rejections

ISRAEL, EGYPT, AND THE JORDANIANS have a keen understanding of ancient Middle East traditions that escape the West. Some traditions are quaint lending to the "land far, far away" feeling experienced by tourists that visit. Other traditions, however, cause wars.

The nations of the world have suffered disappointment after disappointment imagining with good intentions a Middle East peace solution. More than one U.S. President has had aspirations of being the leader that could quell regional tensions. Israeli concessions have been extensive during several administrations, only to be rejected outright by the Palestinians.

Apology To Israel In Order

THE MIDDLE EAST IS BURNING and Israel is not involved. In a perfect world, the United Nations General Assembly would be meeting to issue an international apology to Israel for years of accusations that they are the key instability factor in the area.

Count the conflicts presently raging: Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Iraq (Sunni vs Shi’ite), Afghanistan, Turkey (recent bombings). Then there are the potential hot-spots: Iran, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan and Kashmir. None of those are presently influenced by any Israeli action.

Gaza and Lebanon – The Real Issues

Pan-Islam is the real undercurrent in the two civil wars now raging, one in Lebanon and the other in Gaza.

However, finally, there is clarity. The present conflicts have brought the hidden agenda out into the open. Gaza’s continual lobbing of Kassem rockets is merely a tool to keep Israel in the blame-game, and a smoke screen lest the truth be exposed. The conflict now raging in Lebanon is another example of a splintered Palestinian Islamic group within their "refugee" camp caught up in the power struggle detailed here. (read editorial)

John Doe Goes On Trial
Ron Cantrell, Jerusalem

  Six Muslim Imams who were booted off a US Airways flight last year have consulted their lawyers and narrowed their lawsuit. Now, their radical shotgun approach involving everyone on board the plane has been scrapped. The new plan is to single out the John Does who had the nerve to report the Imam’s suspicious behavior simply because they were appalled at the unusual ritual that unfolded at the airport and aboard the airline. Islamic lawyers expect to read the motives and mental processes of the accused. (read editorial)

Editors Note: Talpiyot is the neighborhood that my wife Carol and I have raised our children in since 1980. This story is literally “close to home” for us.
