Satanists seek to ally with U.S. Muslims after Paris terror

BY DOUGLAS ERNST FOR WND.COM

GOAT

The Satanic Temple has a message for alienated U.S. Muslims: Let’s be friends.

American satanists who recently tried to install a bronze Baphomet statue near a Ten Commandments monument in Oklahoma now want to ally with alienated Muslims.

The organization’s offer comes less than one week after Islamic terror attacks in Paris, France, killed 129 and injured more than 350.

“If there is anyone in the San Jose region who is Muslim and afraid to leave their home out of fear for some kind of backlash, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would be glad to escort you where you need to go without advertising our presence – just big dudes walking you where you need to be. We would also happily deliver you some groceries,” the San Jose, California, chapter of the Satanic Temple said on its Facebook page Wednesday, the Washington Times reported.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul chapter of the temple followed suit.

“Our offer to the Muslims of the Twin Cities comes from a place of genuine compassion for our fellow human beings. It’s not to ride the tide of sentiment or capitalize on people for further name recognition,” the group said on its Facebook page Wednesday.

Muslim Facebook users were grateful for the offer.

“I don’t live in Minneapolis, but as an American Muslim I’m glad to see you guys take up this effort and help out a marginalized group. Thank you for doing this and building bridges between communities,” said Abu-Saleh Nafees Imtiyaj on Thursday.

“I’d also like to join the many other American-Muslim voices to offer deeply appreciated acknowledgement and thanks. I have been the victim of random verbal abuse and know many other Muslims in North America who have been the victims of random physical attacks,” added J’Amy McCracken.

An Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling in June dashed the organization’s plans to install a Baphomet statue over 8-feet tall next to a Ten Commandments monument on the state’s Capitol grounds. The bronze piece cost more than $100,000 to make.

A 7-2 decision ruling by the court June 30 said the Ten Commandments monument, which had been in place since 2012, violated the state’s constitution.

“As concerns the ‘historic purpose’ justification, the Ten Commandments are obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths,” the court said.

The court’s decision forced the Satanic Temple to begin looking for a new home for its statue.

“It was always our intention to take this wherever it was relevant, wherever it was necessary, and wherever that dialogue needed to take place,” said Lucien Greaves, a spokesman for the group, the Associated Press reported July 6.

Parents irate after students told to sing Muslim tune

TEACHERS

Parents at a California middle school are demanding to know why a teacher had students sing an Islamic “fight song.”

A seventh-grade teacher at Spring View Middle School in Huntington Beach, California, deviated from the district’s official curriculum and had students sing “This Is My Fight Song.” Parent and grandparent Nichole Negron and Susan Negron told KCAL 9 Los Angeles their seventh grader was told to participate in the activity.

“I believe that by singing the song, the children feel comfortable that maybe Allahu is the only god and maybe that they should start following him,” Susan Negron told the network Tuesday. “I’m not OK with that.”

The women only found out about the activity by accident when Negron’s son brought a pamphlet with lyrics home.

“How can we as parents combat against what we don’t know is going on?” the mother asked.

The two women went to the Ocean View school board on Tuesday night looking for answers. The teacher allegedly wanted students to learn about Islam through a “catchy” tune.

The lyrics to “This Is My Fight Song” go as follows:

Like a sandstorm on the desert, sending camels into motion. Like how a single faith can make a heart open, they might only have one God, But they can make an explosion.

All all those things they have to say, Islam … Allah’s on the way. They will preach them loud tonight. Can you hear their voice this time? This is their fight song. Spread Islam now song. Prove that they’re right song.

Ojaala Ahmed of the Council for American Islamic Relations in Anaheim told the CBS affiliate she wanted to know why the teacher shared the song, given that Islamic radical terror attacks in Paris, France, last Friday killed 129 and injured over 350.

“Especially with the recent attacks ISIS has been doing, knowing that this potentially Islamaphobic backlash might come about, what was the teacher’s intention?” Ahmed asked.

The school district sent an apology to parents and said it would continue looking into the incident, the network reported.

REFUGEES?

Obama Kissed The Devil, And Now Pandora’s Box Has Been Opened And All Hell Is Breaking Loose

BY MICHAEL SNYDER FOR SONSOFLIBERTYMEDIA.COM

A soccer game between the national teams of Germany and the Netherlands was canceled due to terror concerns on Tuesday, but this is only just the beginning. From now on, very few people will be able to attend large gatherings in the western world without thinking about the possibility that they might be shot or blown to bits. This is how terrorism works – it instills fear in people. And that is why the recent attacks in Paris were so effective. By striking random targets such as a rock concert, a precedent has been set that an attack can happen anywhere and at any time. The target does not have to be politically significant or related to the war on terror in any way. Just a few of these random attacks would be enough to cause mass paranoia among the hundreds of millions of people who live in Europe and North America, and now that radical Islamists are starting to understand this, all hell is breaking loose.

And of course this is all part of a larger trend. All over the planet, terror is on the rise. In fact, according to a stunning new study that was just released the number of people around the world killed by terrorism increased by 80 percent from 2013 to 2014.

Now that Pandora’s box has been opened and crazed lunatics are realizing how effective terror can be in manipulating the emotions of the masses, will we ever be able to get life back to “normal” again?

If you are not familiar with the concept of “Pandora’s box,” the following is how Wikipedia defines it…

Pandora’s box is an artifact in Greek mythology, taken from the myth of Pandora’s creation in Hesiod‘s Works and Days.[1] The “box” was actually a large jar (πίθος pithos)[2] given to Pandora (Πανδώρα, “all-gifted,” “all-giving”),[3] which contained all the evils of the world. Pandora opened the jar and all the evils flew out, leaving only Hope inside once she had closed it again.

Today the phrase “to open Pandora’s box” means to perform an action that may seem small or innocent, but that turns out to have severely detrimental and far-reaching consequences.

As I mentioned above, a major international soccer match that Angela Merkel was scheduled to attend was canceled on Tuesday due to terror concerns. According to CNN, there was “concrete intelligence that someone wanted to set off an explosive device inside the stadium”…

“Serious plans for explosions” forced the evacuation of a stadium in Hannover, Germany, on Tuesday night before a Netherlands-Germany friendly soccer match, the police chief for Germany’s Lower Saxony region told Germany’s public broadcaster NDR.

Chief Volker Kluwe told NDR that authorities “had concrete intelligence that someone wanted to set off an explosive device inside the stadium.” The tip from federal authorities forced the cancellation of the Netherlands-Germany match about one-and-a-half hours before game time.

Could you imagine what would have happened if there had been a major explosion in a packed stadium like that?

It is only a matter of time before the NFL, the NBA and Major League Baseball are facing the exact same kinds of threats.

We live at a time when our headlines are being dominated by terror. Just remember what happened last month. The downing of the Russian passenger plane in Egypt was a huge international story, and it has now been confirmed that it was a “homemade explosive device” which destroyed it…

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said Tuesday that a Russian passenger plane that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai last month killing all 224 aboard was blown up by a homemade explosive device.

Alexander Bortnikov, the FSB’s chief, told Russian state media that “traces of foreign explosives” were found in debris recovered from the crash site.

Thanks to years of very foolish decisions by our government and others, the Middle East has become totally destabilized. War and civil conflict are the rule rather than the exception, and radical Islam is on the rise. We were quite naive to think that we could “keep it over there.” The truth is that what we have experienced so far is just the leading edge of what is coming.

But that doesn’t mean that we should roll out the red carpet for groups like ISIS like Barack Obama apparently wants to do. His administration wants to aggressively resettle Syrian refugees all over America, and in recent days this has prompted a tremendous backlash from Republican lawmakers…

A drumbeat of opposition against allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S. intensified Monday as more than half the country’s governors, citing security concerns, said they would refuse to accept Syrian refugees into their states following the Paris attacks, which President Obama said “would be a betrayal of our values.”

In addition to the mostly Republican governors, GOP members of Congress— including the chairmen of the Senate Armed Services, Senate Intelligence and House Homeland Security committees — have called for a halt to admitting Syrian refugees. A House Judiciary subcommittee will consider security concerns related to Syrian refugees later this week.

Yes, there are many Syrian refugees that are legitimately fleeing the horrible war in their homeland and that need international help.

But there are also many Syrian refugees that fully agree with the goals of groups like ISIS. The following comes from Gateway Pundit…

A poll released in November but ignored by the mainstream media shows a third of Syrian refugees do not want the Muslim terrorist group ISIS defeated.

The survey results buttress concerns by the dozens of U.S. governors who have announced opposition to President Barack Obama’s plan to import 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year.

The poll shows thirteen percent of Syrian refugees have a completely positive opinion of ISIS with another ten percent having mixed feelings on the terror group, suggesting that nearly one quarter are open to recruitment by ISIS.

So how do we separate the “good refugees” from the “terrorists”?

It is not as easy as some are suggesting. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes went on “Meet the Press” over the weekend and insisted that we “have very extensive screening procedures for all Syrian refugees who would come to the United States,” but others are directly challenging that claim. One of those individuals is former congressman Peter Hoekstra…

Peter Hoekstra spent 18 years in Congress and spent much of his time focused on intelligence matters. He is now with the Investigative Project on Terrorism and is the author of “Architects of Disaster,” which outlines the failure of the Obama administration’s policy in Libya.

“I think (Rhodes) basically lied to the American people,” Hoekstra told WND and Radio America. “He said we’ve got a good vetting process in place where we can vet those that are coming from Syria into the United States.”

He continued, “No we do not. The records don’t exist in Syria, especially after you’ve had five years of civil war. We don’t have a relationship with the regime. It’s an ungoverned area. We don’t know who these people are. Ben, shame on you for even implying that we’ve got a good vetting system. We’re lucky if can get the names right.”

So there you go. The Obama administration is clearly not telling us the truth, but after seven years of endless deception we should expect that by now.

The reality of the matter is that Obama and his minions don’t really have any real strategy for dealing with ISIS or defeating Islamic terror. In fact, just this week Obama said that “what I’m not interested in doing is posing or pursuing some notion of American leadership or America winning.”

Really?

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the rest of the clowns in charge of foreign policy in Washington have spent years destabilizing the Middle East, arming radical Islamists and creating ideal conditions for terror groups such as ISIS to grow.

And now that their “grand experiment” is blowing up in their faces, they have no idea how to respond.

When you make a deal with the devil, you shouldn’t be surprised when it backfires.

I want to share with you something that was pointed out by a website called “Now The End Begins”…


With their hands raised high in the air, as you see in this photo taken moments before the attacks began, Paris fans at the Eagles Of Death Metal concert made the Satanic “devil horns” salute without seemingly a care in the world. Amazingly, the song that was playing the moment the shooting started was called ‘Kiss The Devil‘, and here are some of the lyrics from that tune:

“Kiss The Devil” – by Eagles Of Death Metal

Who’ll love the Devil? Who’ll song his song? Who will love the Devil and his song?

I’ll love the Devil I’ll sing his song I will love the Devil and his song

Who’ll love the Devil? Who’ll kiss his tongue? Who will kiss the Devil on his tongue?

I’ll love the Devil I’ll kiss his tongue I will kiss the Devil on his tongue

*****

For years, Obama and his minions have been trying to use radical Islam. We saw this with the “Arab Spring,” we saw this in Libya, and Obama was really hoping that radical Islamists would overthrow President Assad in Syria.

We spent millions training, arming and organizing radical Islamic warriors, and Obama hoped that they would do his bidding.

Instead, they have taken over large portions of Syria, Iraq and Libya using American weapons, and now they are conducting terror attacks against western targets.

Obama kissed the devil, and now all hell is breaking loose.

Unfortunately for all of us, nobody is going to be able to stop this nightmare now that it has been unleashed.

 

 

The Candidate’s Stance on Accepting Syrian Refugees Into the United States

My comments: Although I like what this article says, there are a few items that aren’t fully factual. I’d suggest checking out some of these candidates in this article regarding their stance on illegal aliens and amnesty.

REPOSTED FROM COACHISRIGHT.COM

The recent murders in Paris by Muslim “refugees” has transformed the question of bringing potentially dangerous individuals to the United States into perhaps the most important topic of the 2016 Election. I’ve included Porter’s collected information both on current candidates and those who have dropped out of the race.

by John Porter, guest writer

That you may be properly informed, here you will be provided the presidential candidates’ stance on the Syrian Refugee crisis from their own mouths. I have listed first those who support the U.S. taking in these people from Syria and public quotes from each one of them, followed by those who are opposed to it. Read them all and you will know their thinking on the issue. Friends this is a very serious, critical and dangerous undertaking. Every Freedom loving American should be very concerned about this. I firmly believe the Islamic threat is the over riding issue in our nation today. I ask you to pay special attention to Mr. Trump’s thinking.

Those in favor of admitting a determined or undetermined number of Refugees from Syria:

HILLARY LIES RECORD

Four dead Americans in Benghazi know how well Hillary “does her part.”

Hillary Clinton (D): “We should do our part.””It should not be just one or two countries, or not just Europe and the United States,” Clinton told MSNBC. “We should do our part, as should the Europeans.”

Martin O’Malley (D): The former Maryland governor released a statement calling for the acceptance of at least 65,000 refugees from Syria before 2017. “We must do more to support Syrian refugees — and we must certainly welcome more than the proposed 5,000 to 8,000 refugees next year.”

Hey Bernie, now do you “understand the dimensions of the problem?”

Bernie Sanders (I): The Vermont senator, who is vying for the Democratic nomination for president, insists that the U.S. must play a role in the global response to the Syrian crisis, but “it’s impossible to give a proper number until we understand the dimensions of the problem,” he told NBC News.

JEB BORDER GREETER

Say Jeb, it seems those “displaced people” might want to displace Us!

Jeb Bush (R): “This is not a game.”-“We have an obligation to…support the displaced people that right now are suffering,” the former Florida governor told CNN. “These tragic pictures (of refugees) are real. This is not a made-up game.”

LINDSEY GRAHAM

Lindsey has worked to tear down the Statue of Liberty for the past 20 years

Lindsey Graham (R): The South Carolina senator made an impassioned plea for the U.S. to “take our fair share” of people fleeing Syria, although he skirted around any concrete figures. “We should take down the Statue of Liberty and tear it down,” he told an audience at the National Press Club. “This is our response as a nation, just tear it down. We don’t mean it anymore.”

Moderate Islam

That’s right, Marco. We’ll just take the Moderates; the ones we can trust

Marco Rubio (R): Open to taking in refugees as long as they’re not “infiltrated.” “I would be open to that if it can be done in a way that allows us to ensure that among them are not infiltrated — people who were, you know, part of a terrorist organization that are using this crisis,” the Florida senator told Boston Herald Radio.

CHRIS CHRISTIE AND OBAMA

A little confused on the meaning of “Allies” aren’t you Chris?

Chris Christie (R): Let’s cooperate with our allies. The New Jersey governor wants everyone to work together. “I would sit down with allies and figure out how we can help,” he told Fox News.

Those who oppose admitting Refugees from Syria:

RAND PAUL

Paul wants to offer no visas to citizens of high-risk countries

Rand Paul (R): “There are some limits.”-The Kentucky senator said that past efforts to welcome refugees have not gone smoothly. “We did this with Iraq, where we won the war, but then we accepted 60,000 Iraqi refugees into our country, some of which wish us harm and tried to attack us he told CNN.

CARLY FIORINA

I don’t trust people who speak of “fair shares.” They can never really define “fair!”

Carly Fiorina (R): We’ve done our “fair share”-The former Hewlett-Packard CEO is less pro-refugee than some of her Republican counterparts. The U.S. has already “done its fair share in terms of humanitarian aid,” she told CBS News.

BOBBY JINDAL

Jindal dropped out but had the right idea about importing terrorists

Bobby Jindal (R): Taking in more refugees would be “ridiculous”-The Louisiana governor staunchly opposes an increase in the number of refugees the U.S. lets in. “No, the answer is not for America to increase the number of refugees we take in. We are already the most compassionate and generous country in the world and it is not even close,” he said in a statement to The Guardian.

TED CRUZ

Common sense from Cruz who perhaps should have suggested Syrian “refugees” fight for their country rather than flee from it

Ted Cruz (R): Taking in refugees “doesn’t make sense.” “In terms of settling the migrants, if the ultimate goal is to return them to their homes, which I believe it should be, it doesn’t make sense from a logistical or a security standpoint to move large numbers of them to far-off countries like the United States,” the Texas senator said in a statement.

Dr Ben Carson

A “security risk?” C’mon, Doc. Huma Abedin is a security risk. These “refugees” are death risks!

Ben Carson (R): Refugees are a security risk. The retired neurosurgeon believes that accepting Syrians would place U.S. security at risk. “Bringing in people from the Middle East right now carries extra danger,” he told ABC.

JOHN KASICH

He won’t “commit to a number,” yet says “America needs to be clear about what we’re all about.” Classic GOPe speak

John Kasich (R): Leave it to the Europeans-The Ohio governor wouldn’t commit to a specific number of refugees to admit. “This is fundamentally a European issue,” he said to CBS News. “America needs to lead in the world and be clear about what we’re all about,” he added.

MUSLIM REFUGEES

Barack’s “refugees” are 85% male, ages 15-35.

Donald Trump (R); Donald Trump recently entered the Syrian refugee debate and had some bold things to say about the crisis.
The Republican presidential front runner spoke with Fox News’ Eric Bolling on Cashin’ In about the issue. During the interview, Trump expressed his deep concern about potentially letting jihadists come into the country as “refugees.”
They were talking about 3,000 people coming,” he told Bolling. “Then I heard 10 [thousand], then I heard 25 [thousand], then I heard 200,000 people.”

“And Eric, if you look at this migration, it’s mostly men,” Trump said. “And they look like young men, and strong men, and they look like MUSLIMSfighters.”

Trump said he wondered “why aren’t they fighting for their own country — Syria?”

He went on to say, “This could be one of the greatest military coups of all time.” Trump obviously wasn’t talking about a domestic military overthrow of the government, but a surprise attack from a REFUGEES 4foreign enemy, as indicated when he said, “Some of [the immigrants] definitely in my opinion will be ISIS.”

Trump warned that accepting refugees in our attempt at humanitarianism could be like accepting “a Trojan horse.” Many migrants, including Islamic militants, would come to an unprepared United States. Obama wants to bring 200,000 people here,” Trump said. “[I]f I win the election, they are going back. They’re going back.”

TRUMP 7

Middle Eastern Nations won’t take them; they won’t fight for their own country. Trump finds this a little suspicious!!

“Under a Trump administration, instead of transferring these migrants to European countries or the U.S., “free zones, safe zones” would be set up in Syria for these people”.

Trump pointed out that the Persian Gulf states aren’t “accepting anybody.”

Trump should call for a new “Project Exile” to deport illegal criminals and help cities fight crime

By Kevin “Coach” Collins FOR COACHISRIGHT.COM

The City of Baltimore trails only St. Louis in the rate of murders it has seen thus far this year. To address the carnage in these and other Democrat run cities, Donald Trump should support a new “Project Exile.”

ILLEGALS CRIMINALS

A few hard-working, undocumented Americans

“Project Exile” was a tactic which bypassed local courts for trial in federal courtrooms when guns were involved. The gun toting criminals in Virginia’s capital City Richmond, never knew if they were facing local law enforcement or the full weight of the federal government until it was too late. Throughout the life of the project sometimes a coin flip in the morning would determine where a gun possession case would be heard.

When this tough tactic was in place, the original Project Exile saw the Richmond Police Department work in a coordinated effort with the United States Attorney General under Bill Clinton Together they made possessing a gun a very risky proposition. In those days, Clinton was not afraid of “black lives matter” and other like-minded groups.

The sentencing difference was maybe a “wrist slap” for gun illegals criminals 2possession in a Richmond courthouse or a pretty standard fifty five month stay in a federal prison very far away – thus the name “Project Exile.”

Trump has made bold recommendations for controlling illegal immigration. He wants to build a wall on our borders and deport illegal immigrant criminals; he also wants to put an end to lawless “sanctuary cities.” Now he should add a war on street crime all across America to his platform. To join these three purposes; reducing illegal immigration, end sanctuary cities and reducing violent crime he should start talking about making our city streets safer by adopting this effective means of crime control.

ILLEGALS AND BORDER

All prepared to honor the nation which will provide them a free living; especially the guy carrying the American Flag upside down

As a Trump Administration clears out the illegal immigrant criminals being housed in our federal lockups, a ‘Project Exile” type plan could fill those open beds with home grown criminals.

Trump wants everyone to benefit from the changes he wants to bring to our national government. His platform should include tough anti-crime measures like this that will show he is serious.

He has roughly 20% of the Black vote now; showing he is serious about making the cities they live in safe would certainly be a good start to growing this support.

Shocker: NYC Avis Car Rental REFUSES to Rent to Israeli Executive

Upper West Side clerk and manager defy company policy, decline Israel passport and license

On Saturday evening, Dov Bergwerk arrived at the Avis branch on West 76thStreet and Broadway. Accompanied by his wife Ruth, the Bergwerks were planning to join friends for dinner in Westchester. Mr. Bergwerk, a senior vice president and general corporate counsel at the Israelipharmaceutical giant Teva, got out his driver’s license, reservation number and “Wizard” loyalty card – he’s rented from Avis dozens of times before – and anticipated the usual smooth transition into a nondescript mid-sized sedan.

That’s when the trouble started.

A reservation agent named Angelline declined to honor Mr. Bergwerk’s reservation, saying that it was company policy not to recognize Israeli documents. Stunned, Mr. Bergwerk explained that he had rented from Avis many times, including a car from that very same office on Thursday, November 19 – only two days earlier.

Mr. Bergwerk asked Angelline to access the profile attached to his Wizard card, which shows that he is an executive at a giant multinational company who has no regulatory issues and has rented from Avis, including at that very branch, many times without incident. She refused. They argued.

Eventually, a manager was called. Shamoura took the side of her reservation agent, also refusing to honor Mr. Bergwerk’s reservation or recognize his documents. Stunned and stranded on a Saturday night in New York, Mr. Bergwerk called the Avis main number and got through to customer service. The representative confirmed to him that the Israeli license was an acceptable form of ID and also mentioned that he could show his passport to ameliorate any ID concerns the on-site employees had. Mr. Bergwerk put the customer service representative on the phone with Shamoura, the branch manager, and at this point the story evolved. She now claimed that she was declining to rent the Bergwerks a car not because of the insufficient documents but because Mr. Bergwerk had “argued about the way I was being treated in front of other customers,” according to Mr. Bergwerk.

The Observer asked Mr. Bergwerk if he felt that, in the heart of Manhattan’s progressive activist community, he was being singled out for being an Israeli.

“While no direct reference was made to being anti Israel, that was my impression almost from the initial moment I presented my license and credit card as I have done over 15 years of business and leisure travel without ever being challenged. The agent stated that the Israeli license did not have the required info in English. I tried to demonstrate that the license had all the required info but she and the manager had no interest. Similarly, the fact that I have had many rentals at Avis and at this location was dismissed as having been ‘done by new employees.’”

New Jersey based Avis, owned by the Avis Budget Group (which also owns Budget Rent a Car and Zipcar), is one of the largest car rental companies in the world, with almost 5500 locations in 165 countries. The company has yet to respond to the Observer’s request for comment; this story will be updated to include an Avis response should it be forthcoming.

Ruth Bergwerk confirmed her husband’s version of events, telling the Observer, “Of course it was embarrassing. They wouldn’t even open our reservation and see that we have an Avis wizard number or that we had rented a car from the same location 2 days before. There was no way they would rent a car with that license. There was no way to reason with them.” According to both Mr. and Ms. Bergwerk, Angelline and Shamoura would not even provide their last names or employee ID numbers. Observer reporting confirmed that the manager is Shamoura Welch-Robinson, who has worked for Avis since April 2014, according to her LinkedIn page.

Mr. Bergwerk said, “I felt that something very ugly was going on. Discriminated against. When you deny someone a service and they present the ability to pay for that service and they dismiss you like your money isn’t good here, It’s very demeaning.”

The Israeli government provides a list of countriesthat recognize an Israel Driving License; as a close ally, the US has among the most generous policies and even Turkey and Singapore do so. Meanwhile, the Bergwerks never made it to Westchester last night. In something short of a tragedy—but with ominous overtones for those carrying Israeli documents—according to Ms. Bergwerk, “Our plans for the evening were ruined.”

It wasn’t just dinner. According to Mr. Bergwerk, “I was also planning a very personal visit this morning out of New York to a cemetery but [now] will not go.”
