The Palestine Name

Death Knell of the West

Two Christian pastors in Australia have been found guilty of religious vilification {slanderous statements] of Muslims. The decision threatens us all.

One of the pastors, Daniel Scot, is Pakistani. He fled his native land seventeen years ago when he ran afoul of the notorious Section 295(c) of the Penal Code — which mandates death or life in prison for anyone who blasphemes “the sacred name of the holy Prophet Muhammad.” It’s a treacherously elastic statute that has been and is often used to snare Christians: cornered and made to state that they don’t believe Muhammad was a prophet, they then find themselves charged with blasphemy.

Rev 19:20 And the beast {kingdom] was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles {with the 'image' - a false gospel] before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Deu 18:20 The prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. [Muhammad forgot to mention Palestine]

The Lord of the Bible did not} Isa 14:31 - Exd 15:14 - Joe 3:4 - Mar 13:14

{the Dead Sea Scrolls confirmed the prophecy! because they were written long before the Koran was - but kept preserved - untouched - and only discovered as recently as 1947 - by a young Arab boy]

Muhammad is a prophet - a false prophet.

Scot went to Australia, only to run afoul of that nation’s new religious vilification laws. [Of which - IRONICALLY - the Koran clearly violates! The New Testament - does not. And no judge is willing to let the books speak for themselves] Last Friday, Judge Michael Higgins of The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal found him guilty of vilifying Islam in a seminar hosted by his group, Catch the Fire Ministries.

Muslims - who teach that the Son of God is an abomination - vilify Christians on the MOST blasphemous level. How is it - the rights of a foreign minority have become more important than the rights of the majority?

1Ti 5:8 If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

2Cr 10:4 The weapons [Scriptures] of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. {not a suggestion - but a Royal Command - from God]

The judge noted that during the seminar, Scot stated that “the Quran promotes violence, killing and looting.” In light of Qur’anic passages such as 9:5, 2:191, 9:29, 47:4, 5:33 and many others, this cannot seriously be a matter of dispute. Muslims have pointed to verses in the Bible that they would have us believe are equivalent in violence and offensiveness, or have claimed that the great majority of Muslims don’t take such verses literally; but it takes a peculiarly strong resistance to reality not only to deny that such verses are there, but to charge one who pointed them out with religious vilification.

Yet Higgins wasn’t finished. He also scored Scot for contending that the Qur’an “treats women badly; they are to be treated like a field to plough, ‘use her as you wish,’” and that in it, “domestic violence in general is encouraged.’” He charged Scot with saying that the Qur’an directs that “a thief’s hand is cut off for stealing.” Yet the idea of the field and “use her as you wish” are from Sura 2:223 of the Qur’an. Husbands are told to beat their disobedient wives in 4:34. Amputation for theft is prescribed in 5:38. What Qur’an is Higgins reading?

Higgins got not just the Qur’an, but Scot’s own statements wrong. The judge charges that Scot called Muslims “demons”; but according to human rights activist Mark Durie, who was deeply involved in the case, “Scot at one point in the seminar that in the Qur’an there were jinn (spirit beings) which became Muslims in response to the message of Islam. However, in his summary the judge appears to interpret this as Scot saying that Muslims are demons. So ‘Some demons are Muslims’ becomes ‘Muslims are demons’!”

There are some hints that the outcome of the case was virtually predetermined. When during the trial Scot began to read Qur’anic verses that discriminate against women, a lawyer for the Islamic Council of Victoria, the organization that brought the suit, stopped him: reading the verses aloud, she said, would in itself be religious vilification. Dismayed, Scot replied: “How can it be vilifying to Muslims in the room when I am just reading from the Qur’an?”

Unless the people start pressuring judges like Higgins - bloodshed will spread.

Judge Higgins is not being fair to ANYONE - Muslims included. There are western societies who are going to reach a certain boiling point. Who can tell how serious the response will be?

Mixing Islam within non-Muslim societies is a SURE recipe for anarchy and bloodshed. The commands for Muslims is this:

004.101 When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies. [Includes ALL who believe in the Son of God} 009.030 {'allah' says so ]

009.004 (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term.

009.005 But when the forbidden months are past [when the 'treaties' expire} then fight and slay the Pagans ''''wherever'''' ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.

009.029 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. [Violent Discrimination? Treason? in Australia?]

These commands straight from the mouth of the allah of the Koran - are why groups such as the Islamic Council of Victoria refuse to let them be heard. The Koran violates ALL humanitarian laws and incites treasonous acts in non-Muslim societies - and they know it.

004.095 Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit at home. But those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward. [Even the allah of the Koran calls ALL who claim that "Islam is a religion of peace" - liars]

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

009.039 Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

'Moderate' Muslims refuse to accept their own god's commands as violent incitement against ALL other religions.

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers {Includes ALL who believe in the Son of God] (in fight), smite at their necks. [Behead them]

004.100 He who forsakes his home in the cause of Allah, finds in the earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious.

Mar 8:36 What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder} Mat 19:18

With religious vilification laws now coming to Britain and no doubt soon also elsewhere in the West, Scot’s question rings out with global implications, and must be answered.

If it is inciting hatred for Muslims simply when non-Muslims explore what Islam and the Qur’an actually teach, [which NOT 'vilification' -but rather - Facing the Truth] then there will be a chill on reasonable public discussion of Islam — a public discussion that is crucial to hold in this age of global jihad terrorism. The lives of MANY are FAR more important - than one group's feelings - just because of their refusal to accept the obvious Truth.

Such laws actually make Muslims a protected class, beyond criticism, precisely at the moment when the Western republics need to examine the implications of having admitted into their countries people with greater allegiance to Islamic law than to the pluralist societies in which they’ve settled.

To criticize is not to incite. [Neither is - POINTING OUT THE TRUTH] The courageous ex-Muslim Ibn Warraq calls upon Muslims to “admit the role of the Qur’an in the propagation of violence.” If they do not do this, what end can there possibly be to the jihad terrorism that is inspired, according to the terrorists themselves, by the Qur’an? {A Major Bloodbath] What will keep jihadists from continuing to use the Qur’an to recruit more terrorists, right under the noses of fatuous Westerners like Judge Higgins who would prefer to pretend that what they use in the book isn’t really in there? The reality - is a major blood bath - because the power that the Koran really does have - is being ignored by leaders like Higgins.

When Judge Higgins signed the guilty verdict on Daniel Scot, he may have been signing the death warrant for free Australia — and maybe even the entire Western world.

Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. [second death] There was a death that reigned already} Rom 5:14

Mat 10:28 Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. No murderer hath eternal life abiding in him} 1Jo 3:15

Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear - then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Luk 11:23 He that is not with Me - is against Me

Zec 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates.

Islam not only VILIFIES the believers of Son of God - but threatens their very lives by powerful incitement:

004.101 When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.

009.005 fight and slay the Pagans ''''wherever'''' ye find them

009.123 O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you.

If the Koran is so 'sacred' - why are its worshippers afraid to let it speak for itself?

Where is the wisdom in judge Higgins - to ignore such influential teachings?
