										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who hasn’t been approached by the two clean-cut nice young men, knocking on your door, eager to talk to you about “the Church of Latter-Day Saints”?  In an age where two young males banging on your door strikes fear into the hearts of most Americans, it is refreshing even if it’s a tad uncomfortable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-NMNu]"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2916 aligncenter" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys.jpg" alt="Two Nice Boys" width="500" height="356" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys.jpg 500w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-150x107.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-300x214.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-24x17.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-36x26.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-48x34.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-400x285.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>In 2008, I wasn’t interested in the radical differences between Mormonism and my Evangelical Christian Faith.  I was fixated on the clear and present danger posed by Barack Obama as he ran against one of the worst choices I could imagine the Republican Party putting up against him in Senator John McCain.  Not only did McCain have a record of betraying even the moderately “conservative” George Bush on vital issues like <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/223431/mccain-and-gang-14/andrew-c-mccarthy">ratifying judicial nominations</a> or stumping for continued <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/01/45420/">illegal immigration to the point of <em>lying</em> about it</a>, it didn’t even <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/27/cunningham.mccain/index.html?iref=24hours">appear as if he <em>wanted</em> to win</a>!  It gave “conspiracy theorists” endless fodder about how “rigged” the game was when considering that one of McCain’s top advisors was an <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77390.html">Obamaboy</a> who made an ugly public resignation because <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/21/world/americas/21iht-21consult.13071140.html">he just doesn’t want to hurt McCain’s opponent</a>!</p>
<p>So I swallowed my pride and cast a vote for the Man from Massachusetts.  I had made a calculated decision based upon what I perceived was a balance between his minimum acceptable dedication to my values and his ability to win in the general election.  And boy was my throat sore!  From <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/220565/romney-second-amendment-killer/dave-kopel">protecting the Second Amendment</a> to <a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/2011/12/30/mitt-romney-didnt-just-give-planned-parenthood-money-he-gave-them-extra-power/">safeguarding the unborn</a>, ole’ Mitt was a mess!</p>
<p>But thanks to some <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/31/us/politics/31cnd-campaign.html?pagewanted=all">backroom back-stabbing</a> from the “Christian” who’s <a href="http://www.edmondsun.com/local/x914503236/Huckabee-criticizes-health-care-plans">changed waist sizes</a> more than Oprah Winfrey (<a href="http://herescope.blogspot.com/2007/11/oprah-and-friends-to-teach-course-on.html">who <em>isn’t</em> a Christian</a>)—Mike Huckabee—Romney ran aground.</p>
<p>Since then, I’ve had some time to more thoroughly vet Mitt’s Mormon methodology and there may be some issues that even give secularists pause.  I think it is fair to say that, at least <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/29/mitt-romney-mormon-bishop_n_1386592.html">earlier in his life</a>, Romney took his faith <em>very</em> seriously and almost certainly still does.</p>
<p>I can do no better than the eldest daughter of <a href="http://www.waltermartin.com/about.html">“Bible Answer-Man” Walter Martin—Jill Martin Rische</a>—who posted <a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/print.php?&amp;ArticleID=1588">several disconcerting</a> but <a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/print.php?&amp;ArticleID=1656">well-documented summaries</a> of Mormon beliefs: such as how Mormons become gods and goddesses but yet the “goddesses” still spend eternal submission to their husband while forever giving birth to spirit-babies within their celestial harem, and other such interesting ideas.</p>
<p>But the truly disturbing connecting I found wasn’t between Mormons and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%ABlism">Raelians</a>, it was between Joseph Smith and Muhammad.</p>
<p><strong>SEPARATED <em>BY</em> BIRTH</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-NMNu]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-2917" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith.jpg" alt="The Prophet and Joseph Smith" width="385" height="232" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith.jpg 718w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-150x90.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-300x181.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-24x14.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-36x22.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-48x29.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-400x241.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px" /></a>It is interesting to note that both Joseph Smith and Muhammad claimed that they were visited by “angels” and that their critics accused them (both then and now) of poorly fabricating religions that were loosely based on Judeo/Christian traditions and Scriptures for the very earthly purpose of personal lust, greed and aggrandizement.  Certainly, that <em>is</em> what both men achieved in their lifetimes (as well as ignoble ends).</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Cults-The-Walter-Martin/dp/0764228218/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342115926&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=The+Kingdom+of+the+Cults">Bible Answer-Man has noted several oddities</a> in the Book of Mormon such as over 25,000 plagiarized words from the King James Bible (available handily in Joseph Smith’s time but not very accessible during the supposed “inspiration” of the book ages before), or that Jews brought horses and elephants to the New World before Columbus was a gleam in his daddy’s eye.</p>
<p>Muhammad, on the other hand, couldn’t keep <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090906025512AALUkqV">Miriam the sister of Moses straight with Miriam the mother of Jesus</a>.  The confusing labyrinth we know as the Quran contains many more twists such as who the first muslim was (Muhammad [Surah 6:14], Moses [7:143] or Abraham [2:127-133]) or is it even possible to <em>see</em> the most merciful Allah (Surah 53:1-18 says “yes” but 6:102-103 says “no”).</p>
<p>Seeing the power brought by the Hebrew religion, Smith appropriated much of its trappings, calling non-believers “Gentiles” and labeling his place of worship a “temple” but it was his propensity for using polygamy as a cover for lust that brought him the most notoriety:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>In identifying 33 well-documented wives of Smith — other researchers have placed the figure as high as 48 — </em>[author Todd] <em>Compton found that in the case of 11 women, Smith’s polygamy was polyandrous.  That is, the women were married and cohabiting with their husbands, who mostly were faithful Mormons, when Smith married them…</em><em>Eleven of Smith’s wives were between ages 14 and 20, nine were in their 20s, eight were in Smith’s own peer group of 31 to 40, two were in their 40s and three in their 50s. ~ </em><a href="http://www.lds-mormon.com/12117.shtml"><em>Joseph Smith’s Wives</em></a>, the Salt Lake Tribune, 13 December, 1997</p></blockquote>
<p>Muhammad was cut from the same cloth, for amongst his many wives his favorite—Aisha—was married to him when she was 6 and he waited a full three years before <a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/ayesha.htm">consummating the “relationship”</a>.</p>
<p>Both religions acquired new <em>male</em> proselytes by appealing to their loins but while Smith promised godhood with an eternal harem of goddesses, Muhammad promised an eternal erection to be used on both virgin girls <em>and</em> young boys [Surah 52:20-27].</p>
<p>OK, to be fair, the ever-lasting woody was added by subsequent Islamic theologians like Al-Suyuti but muslim men have become quite attached to it for some reason (seems rather uncomfortable to me).</p>
<p>Apparently, Smith was so enamored with Muhammad’s style, he vowed to be just like him.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If the people let us alone, we will preach the gospel in peace.  But if they come on us to molest us, we will establish our religion with the sword.  We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood&#8230;from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a 2<sup>nd</sup> Muhammad, whose motto in treating for peace was “the Al-Qur’an or the sword.”  So shall it be with us — “Joseph Smith or the sword!”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>A reference to this speech can be found in Smith’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/History-Church-Joseph-Mormon-ebook/dp/B004NG7TAG/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342123783&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=history+of+the+church+joseph+smith">“History of the Church”</a> (Volume III, p. 167) but a more complete and devastating account is to be had from Fawn Brodie’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Man-Knows-My-History/dp/0679730540/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342124409&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Fawn+M.+Brodie%2C+No+Man+Knows+My+History"><em>No Man Knows My History</em></a>, pp. 230-231.  Smith made this public proclamation just as the “Mormon War” was starting to heat up.  Perhaps he had taken inspiration from Muhammad’s claim:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I have been ordered by God to fight with people till they bear testimony to the fact that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger, and that they establish prayer and pay tribute.  If they do it, their blood and their property are safe from me.</em> ~ Bukhari Volume I, p. 13</p></blockquote>
<p>Sadly, the good folks from the “Show Me” state didn’t think so and he was exiled from Missouri and ended up in Illinois where he created his own little fiefdom in a town he named “Nauvoo” [Hebrew for “to be beautiful”].  Smith’s utopia quickly devolved into strife, envy and jealousy compounded by some extraordinary religious doctrine and political intrigue.  It ended with Smith being imprisoned by Illinois governor Thomas Ford in the county seat of Carthage along with his brother Hyrum.  It was there that a black-faced mob executed Hyrum and shot Smith multiple times as he jumped from a window, falling dead in the street in June of 1844.</p>
<p>For Muhammad, <em>al Tabari</em> claims that a conquered woman <em>tried</em> to poison him in vengeance for the torture and murder of her family but Bukhari’s <em>Hadith</em> state that a Jewish woman <em>succeeded</em> in poisoning the Prophet.  Certainly, in either case, the <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:52&amp;version=NASB">words of a different Prophet</a> ring true; <em>All who live by the sword shall die by the sword.</em></p>
<p><strong>9/11 TRUTH</strong></p>
<p>But Smith’s abject demise set the stage for another tragedy.  Mormons again looked to relocate and centralize in one geographic area, this time following their new president—Brigham Young—to the great state of Utah.  It was here that they intercepted a wagon-train of Arkansas pilgrims.  In their paranoia and perverse doctrines they chose to waylay and annihilate the entire caravan down to only the youngest of children, at one point, entering the Arkansas defenses under a false flag of truce to facilitate slaughtering them.  Known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre">“Mountain Meadow Massacre”</a>, the siege culminated with that bloodbath in 1857&#8230;on September 11<sup>th</sup>.</p>

<p>Is it fair to connect Mitt Romney to this past and culture?</p>
<p>—You bet.  He has embraced it enough to rise to authority within the Mormon Church and you can be damn sure that, once the Republican primary has concluded, the entire Democrat/media machine <em>will</em> be talking about it.  They’ll need to <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/11/09/ST2008110901017.html">fill all the empty time</a> they have <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/media-blackout-on-eligibility-near-total/%5d">ignoring the past</a> of the Manchurian Messiah of Mystery: Barack Hussein Obama.</p>
<p>Starting with his presidential campaign <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/05/57-islamic-stat.html">through all 57 states</a> (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), those of us not hypnotized by the corporate-controlled media knew something was awry with the good Savior.  Ah, sorry&#8230; “Senator.”</p>
<p>In rare unsupervised, untelepromptered moments, a different Obama emerged such as the one whom <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html">NY Times columnist Nicholas Christoff interviewed:</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.  In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”</em></p></blockquote>

<p>While Katie Couric was busy schooling us with condescending tone <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500803_162-20014479-500803.html">“for the record” that “he’s Christian”</a>, Saint Barack was going out of his way to <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/after-covering-symbol-jesus-georgetown-white-house-had-obama-speak-front-symbols-ama">blot out the Name of Jesus Christ</a> and <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/77629/">mock the Bible</a>.</p>
<p>Barack was probably thinking “with friends like this” when Muammar Gadhafi stated that he was <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/78309/">a muslim from Kenya who studied in Islamist madrassas</a>.  I’m sure the former head of Libya was thinking the same thing as he was being <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2051361/GADDAFI-DEAD-VIDEO-Dictator-begs-life-summary-execution.html">brutally and publicly murdered</a> at the culmination of his friend’s <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/libya-crisis-obama-moammar-gadhafi-ultimatum/story?id=13164938">8-month long non-war</a> on his country.</p>
<p>Perhaps the media felt the war was unworthy of the name when so-called Tea Party lawmakers like Marco Rubio were going out of their way <a href="http://thehill.com/video/senate/188801-rubio-says-on-gadhafi-death-credit-goes-to-french-and-british">OK’ing its unconstitutional execution</a> by diverting attention from the American effort with the apparent insult that the British and the French did all the hard work.  Somehow, I don’t think Barack was insulted.</p>
<p>Certainly, the gravity was lost on most everyone over the fact that the rash of silly bowings of the representative of the most powerful nation in the world began when <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2009/04/93696/">Obama met one of the most revered men in all Islam</a>: the keeper of Mecca and Medina—the king of Saudi Arabia.</p>

<p>Good thing I’m not.</p>
<p>Doing the job other American journalists wouldn’t do, Islamist watchdog Robert Spencer was surprised to catch the Supreme Leader in Cairo <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/06/obama-quoted-a-quran-verse-about-waging-war-to-argue-for-peace-and-shared-interests.html"><em>appearing</em> to quote the Quran about “coming together” but <em>actually</em> inciting knowledgeable muslims to jihad!</a></p>
<p>I might’ve felt cowed into believing the more-PO’d-than-perky Katie about the Obama family dedication to Christian services&#8230;<a href="http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1949879,00.html">if they ever went to church</a>.  I guess once they lost the unique experience of a “church” that gave <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/14/AR2008011402083.html?hpid=opinionsbox1">the pulpit to the likes of Louis Farrakhan</a>, gave precedence to <a href="http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/03/17/tuccs-church-bulletins-from-july-2007-probably-make-whether-obama-was-present-on-july-22-irrelevant/">Hamas terrorists</a>, called the <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=4719157&amp;page=1">Secretary of State “Condoskeeza” Rice</a>, and made it <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/jeremiah-wright-i-made-it-comfortable-for-obama-to-accept-christianity-without-having-to-renounce-islam/">“comfortable” for muslims to attend</a>, the Obamas probably lost the desire to find a new one.</p>
<p>Certainly, the thought of Mr. Obama being elected for another four years to <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/obama_already_outdebts_dubya_ITh6t7G3wYvg7FOkzM9luO">finish what he started</a> is a chilling one&#8230;<a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/will-obama-attempt-to-declare-martial-law-before-november-election/">if we even get that far</a>.</p>
<p><strong>THE SILVER SPOON ALTERNATIVE: ALREADY CHOSEN FOR YOU</strong></p>
<p>So where does that leave us?  <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/07/02/Mitt-Quit-Now-If-You-Wont-Fight">Will Mitt Romney save the day?</a></p>
<p>If you’re a bit cynical about the <a href="http://www.acus.org/content/bush-obama-hug-inauguration-photo">never-ending cycle of Republicrats and Demicans</a>, I’m afraid the answer is a resounding “NO!”</p>

<p>It would appear that <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/20/timep.affirm.action.tm/">there is a Ruling Class</a> that has a death-grip on the throats of Americans and they’re <a href="http://www.nysun.com/editorials/ron-pauls-90-seconds/87564/">not about to allow an outsider to loosen it.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/02/mitt-romney-201202">Vanity Fair did an interesting piece</a> on the background of Romney, how his well-to-do, 3-time-governor-of-Michigan father <em>also</em> ran for the presidency and how son-of-Romney was living out a pre-planned destiny: <em>“His whole life,” said John Wright, a close family friend, “was following a pattern which had been laid out by his dad.”</em></p>
<p>Although I consider Ron Paul’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKfuS6gfxPY">“China-is-Iran-is-America” foreign policy</a> downright childish, he <a href="http://www.businesspundit.com/the-25-most-vicious-iraq-war-profiteers/">clearly sees and articulates</a> all of our <a href="http://www.thenation.com/blog/156794/feds-backdoor-bailout-provided-33-trillion-loans-banks-corporations">most dangerous problems</a> up front, while most other politicians either ignore or <a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/john-boehner-to-halt-fast-and-furious-investigation-sell-out-to-holder-and-white-house/">willfully obfuscate them</a> (dare we call it “treason”?).  Perhaps that’s one of the reasons I was so disappointed when his level-headed son, Senator Rand Paul (R, KY) <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/hannity/2012/06/08/sen-rand-paul-gov-romney-right-there-us">“happily” endorsed son-of-Romney</a> highlighting that very thing, “Both our dads ran for the presidency.”  Sean Hannity found it hard to contain his Machine-sponsored glee, but I (<a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/06/ron-paul-supporters-are-fuming-mad-rand-paul/53336/">and many other supporters</a>) was less than enthused.  I do understand that he was making a calculated move to back away from <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/ron-paul-supporter-has-fingers-broken-at-contested-louisiana-gop-convention?cid=db_articles">what appeared to be</a> a <a href="http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-04-27/politics/31419425_1_romney-delegates-delegate-total-ron-paul">losing campaign his father was running</a> in order to <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2012/06/13/rand-paul-explainsdefends-his-mitt-romne">gain vital concessions</a> with the presumptive winner, but is this the <em>best</em> way to save America?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Smart weapons” in the Bible?</p>
<blockquote><p>Jeremiah 50:9<br />
9 “For behold, I Am going to arouse and bring up against Babylon<br />
A horde of great nations from the land of the north,<br />
And they will draw up their battle lines against her;<br />
From there she will be taken captive.<br />
Their arrows will be like an expert warrior<br />
Who does not return empty-handed.<br />

<p>Traditionally, many western Biblical scholars have believed that the anti-Christ will be a homosexual based upon this passage;</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 11:36-37<br />
36 “Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak monstrous things against the G-d of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is decreed will be done.<br />
37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all.”<br />

<p>Is there a system of thought that does that, today?</p>
<p>And note the 2 verses afterwards;</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 11:38-39<br />
38 “But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones and treasures.<br />
39 He will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great honor to those who acknowledge him and will cause them to rule over the many, and will parcel out land for a price.”<br />

<p>Note in this passage, which kingdoms will be judged by Almighty G-d after He has restored Israel once again to her place of power—</p>
<blockquote><p>Joel 3:1-4<br />
3 “For behold, in those days and at that time,<br />
When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,<br />
2 I will gather all the nations<br />
And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat.<br />
Then I will enter into judgment with them there<br />
On behalf of My people and My Inheritance, Israel,<br />
Whom they have scattered among the nations;<br />
And they have divided up My Land.<br />
3 They have also cast lots for My people,<br />
Traded a boy for a harlot<br />
And sold a girl for wine that they may drink.<br />
4 Moreover, what are you to Me, O Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia?<br />

<p>For years, Christians have looked towards technology as the answer to what this passage means;</p>
<blockquote><p>Revelation 13:16-17<br />
16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,<br />
17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.<br />
NASU</p></blockquote>
<p>What does the mark mean? It means you share allegiance with the beast and notice the “or” in verse 17. Do all marks have to be the same? Is this one such mark of allegiance to the beast?—</p>

<p>And what of the saints who are martyred in the Book of Revelation? <em>How</em> are they martyred?</p>
<blockquote><p>Revelation 20:1-4<br />
1 Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.<br />
2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;<br />
3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.<br />
4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the Word of G-d, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well…what an odd topic to christen the new site with.</p>
<p>I guess I can thank the clean-cut young men who invaded my home 2 weekends ago and, again, today.</p>
<p>When they surprised me last weekend, my first thought was how badly I wanted to see their Latter-Day Saint brother, Mitt Romney win the Republican nomination and, subsequently, the White House. He’s far from perfect (can anything coming from Massachusetts be??) but he is the best of the entire lot of them in <em>either</em> party.</p>
<p>I looked at these young men sitting across from me at my dinner table with their short hair and their conservative suits and my first thought was, “Fellow Culture Warriors!”</p>
<p>So, rather than utilize my fair knowledge of Scripture to make them uncomfortable, I accented what we had in common.</p>
<p>Me being me, I did almost all of the talking, which was quite humorous given that they came to convert me. I think the older “elder” left behind his “Book of Mormon” for me more out of procedure than as an exclamation point to his witnessing (he really didn’t do any!). I had to embarrassingly move it from the TV tray where it sat all week before their return to at <em>least</em> make it look like I picked the thing up.</p>
<p>I went out of my way to invite them back by giving them my name and phone number. A few days later they called, we played some phone tag, and I invited them to return today.</p>
<p>But, in the days leading up to their return, I got an ornery streak due to the chance that the purpose of their returning was to try even harder to convert me. They certainly weren’t coming to sit and chat. It made me a little confrontational. I knew there were several issues that I could throw their way—issues that would stump any honest Mormon.</p>
<p>Even more, the L-rd was fueling my belligerent mood by having <em><a href="http://www.septemberdawn.net/">September Dawn</a></em> conveniently in my mailbox from Blockbuster Online several days before their return visit. I was saving it to watch with my wife but, with nothing else on the boob tube (as usual), I put it in to watch while I ate my lunch (even though the wife had to work).</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.septemberdawn.net/">September Dawn</a></em> is a movie by Christopher Cain starring Jon Voight (fresh off of his <em>fantastic</em> performance as Defense Secretary John Keller in <em>Transformers</em>). The plot revolves around what is now known as the “Mountain Meadows massacre.”</p>
<p>Cain thought it pertinent to today’s Islamo-facist threat to relive another event that occurred on September 11<sup>th</sup>…in 1857. It, too, was an event charged by hatred and religious fervor.</p>
<p>Now, in spite of my newfound love for Jon Voight, I hesitated to even put this movie into my Blockbuster queue because I was afraid it would preach what so many other Leftist morons are out there preaching, courtesy of the <em>lunacy</em> of “multiculturalism”—that <strong>all</strong> “religious fervor” leads to homicidal madness. It’s what unG-dly people do to slander Christianity in order to slight the Message they so hate — <em>“Have some friggin’ self control you perverts!”</em></p>
<p>OK, so maybe I paraphrased the Gospel Message a little there, but there is plenty of evidence that the Left has used this slanderous tactic to sidestep Judeo-Christian morality.</p>

<p>It, of course, tickles me no end that they tagged their sign with the song of one of my favorite long-haired, dope-smoking Leftists, the late (not-so-great) John Lennon.</p>
<p>Or, perhaps you’d like to go more “mainstream.” How about CNN, otherwise known as “The Clinton News Network,” or “The Caliphate News Network.”</p>
<p>It wasn’t just a “report,” but an entire <em>series</em> by Christiane Amanpour (be sure to put the right ac<em>cent</em> on the proper syl<em>lable</em>) titled <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2007/08/43257/">“God’s Warriors,”</a> where, you guessed it — no difference between the “fundamentalists” of any given religion…even the one <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-mY1e]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-585" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals.jpg" alt="CNN twit equates jihadis with evangelicals" width="240" height="180" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals.jpg 240w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-150x113.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-24x18.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-36x27.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-48x36.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" /></a>that uses women with <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8UHKP281&amp;show_article=1&amp;catnum=0">Down Syndrome as carriers of bombs</a> to slaughter innocent people.</p>
<p>But I figured, “what the heck?” I went ahead and rented it anyway and, there it was, sitting on my TV, inviting me to challenge my 2 young guests.</p>
<p>So perhaps a little history lesson is called for:</p>
<blockquote><p>Joseph Smith (1805 to 1827) claimed to have had a “visitation” from an [“angel” named] “Moroni” in 1823 which led to his finding and unearthing (in 1827) a long-buried book, inscribed on metal plates, which [supposedly] contained a record of God’s dealings with…ancient Israelite inhabitants of the Americas. ~ <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith,_Jr.">Joseph Smith, Jr.</a></em>, Wikipedia</p></blockquote>
<p>By the way, that’s why you have to scrutinize Wikipedia — the entry for Joseph Smith seems like it was written by a Mormon public affairs manager.</p>
<p>This “visitation” was the basis for the new religion.</p>
<p>But trouble followed Smith wherever he went. Smith exacerbated this by appropriating much of the Hebrew religion; calling non-Mormons “gentiles,” calling his main religious building “the temple” and so on. This is in stark contrast to mainstream, fundamentalist Christianity whose doctrine states that Jesus Christ completely fulfilled the only G-d-given religion on the planet (Judaism) whose purpose was to point towards Him —</p>
<p>Matthew 27:50-51<br />
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud Voice, and yielded up His Spirit.<br />
51 And behold, the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the Earth shook and the rocks were split!<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>Making a new religion for the sake of personal power wasn’t anything “new.” What Smith did was just like another “prophet” who believed he was visited by a Heavenly emissary and given a “Divine revelation” for the sake of empowering himself…Muhammad.</p>
<p>And there are more similarities than that.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Book of Mormon contains many plagiarisms of the King James English (at least 25,000 words). This is strange since the plates were supposed to have been in the ground many centuries before the King James Bible was completed in 1611! The Book of Mormon also contains many errors such as claims of elephants in the Western Hemisphere and advanced metal producing capabilities in America before 400 A.D. (See Walter Martin’s<em> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Cults-Walter-Martin/dp/1556617143">Kingdom of the Cults</a></em> for a fine study in the errors of the Mormon Bible) ~ <em><a href="http://www.biblebelievers.com/jmelton/Mormons.html">The Plain Truth about the Mormons</a></em>, James L. Melton</p>
<p>Karen Armstrong, who is quite sympathetic to him in her biography <em>Muhammad</em>, notes:</p>
<p><em>“Muhammad did not know the chronology in which the scriptural prophets appeared: he seems, for example, to have thought that Mariam</em> [sic]<em>, the mother of Jesus, was the same as Mariam</em> [sic]<em>, the sister of Moses in the Jewish scriptures.”</em></p>
<p>It was not until later on, after already having given some of the recitations that form part of the Qu’ran, that Mohammed met with some friendly Jews in Medina who gave him more information on the Scriptures. Armstrong writes:</p>
<p><em>“Muhammad also learned about the chronology of Jewish history and discovered that the Jews and Christians, whom he had previously thought belonged to one religion, in fact had serious disagreements.”</em></p>
<p>I point this out because the Qu’ran reflects his lack of knowledge of the temporal sequence and progressive revelation revealed in the Bible. The Qu’ran does not contain the chronologies or genealogies of the Bible — which not only provide a continuous link in the records but also set the context for the prophets, priests, and kings, and for Jesus himself. There is no timeline like this in the Qu’ran. Instead there are snatches of stories which are distorted and made to differ from the biblical ones. ~ <em><a href="http://allthings2all.blogspot.com/2005/02/quran-plagiarism-of-bible-and.html">The Qu’ran: Plagiarism of the Bible and Omissions</a></em>, Catez Stevens, Wednesday, February 16, 2005</p></blockquote>
<p>As Smith and his followers bounced from state to state, they stayed only long enough to start scandal either based on unpaid debt or Smith’s outrageous polygamy habits which included “marrying” a girl as young as 14. It didn’t even matter if the women were already married to other Mormon men, Smith “married” them as well!</p>
<blockquote><p>In identifying 33 well-documented wives of Smith — other researchers have placed the figure as high as 48 — Compton found that in the case of 11 women, Smith’s polygamy was polyandrous. That is, the women were married and cohabiting with their husbands, who mostly were faithful Mormons, when Smith married them…Eleven of Smith’s wives were between ages 14 and 20, nine were in their 20s, eight were in Smith’s own peer group of 31 to 40, two were in their 40s and three in their 50s. ~ <em><a href="http://www.lds-mormon.com/12117.shtml">Joseph Smith’s Wives</a></em>, Salt Lake Tribune, 13 December, 1997</p></blockquote>

<p>How about some examples of the way the male followers of Muhammad treat women (incidentally, don’t hold your breath waiting for Gloria Allred and the “National Organization for Women” to ever address these <em>outrageous</em> injustices because Islam attacks their mutual enemy: the United States — where there are so many white men!):</p>
<ul>
<li>In the good ole’ United Kingdom they have eradicated their Christian heritage and allowed the Religion of Peace to fill the void. But some young women are caught in between the 2 cultures; the decadence of Western Europe and the vicious harshness of Islamic men. In order to keep from getting murdered for being unchaste, muslim girls who have fornicated before marriage are having plastic surgeons <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=502714&amp;in_page_id=1879">sew them back into virgins</a> (complete with blood capsules for the proper honeymoon affect).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Or how about the young Saudi girl who was caught sharing the company of a boy that was neither her husband nor her blood relative? When they were caught by some civic-minded Saudi men, both <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL1713777420071217?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=worldNews&amp;pageNumber=1&amp;virtualBrandChannel=0">she <em>and the boy</em> were gang-raped</a>. Afterwards, a Saudi court decided that she still needed to be punished further and sentenced her to 200 lashes and 6 months in prison.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-mY1e]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-587" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls.jpg" alt="slaughtered girls" width="245" height="241" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls.jpg 245w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-150x148.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-36x36.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px" /></a>Here’s one I <em>know</em> you’ve seen plastered on the evening news night after night; Egyptian-born Yaser Abdel Said of Lewisville, TX <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=4079762&amp;page=1">murdered his 17 and 18 year old daughters</a>. Why? They were getting a little too Western for his muslim sensibilities. So, rather than have a long talk with them, he put them in his cab and then put bullets in their heads.<br />
This is well-known amongst those knowledgeable in Islam as an “honor killing” but, oddly, neither the media nor the Irving police could find a motive as to why a muslim father would murder his 2 Americanized daughters.</li>
</ul>
<p>Are you seeing a pattern here? Rather than allowing the Spirit to guide you in how you behave, you allow your <em>loins</em> to guide you. In both cases of Smith and Muhammad, women were nothing more than breathing sex-dolls or personal property to extinguish on a whim.</p>
<p>This is in stark contrast to the Biblical, Christian doctrine which states that, yes, women are different than men, yes wives are subservient to husbands, but the <em>other</em> side of that coin is that husbands are to love their wives as much as Christ loves us—</p>
<p>Ephesians 5:25-32<br />
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up for her,<br />
26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,<br />
27 that He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.<br />
28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;<br />
29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the Church,<br />
30 because we are members of His Body.<br />
31 FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.<br />
32 This Mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the Church.<br />

<p>Have you seen <em><a title="The Passion of the Christ: Who Killed Jesus?" href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-passion-of-the-christ-2004/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Passion of the Christ</a>?</em> Regardless of any controversy surrounding the private antics of Mel Gibson, the movie does a good job of helping its viewers get in touch with what it cost to buy our souls. <em>That</em> is the Example a Christian man is to follow in how to love his wife in specific, and respect all women in general.</p>
<p>Contrary to what modern, Leftist feminism teaches, men and women were created by G-d to be different (because it teaches us lessons about how to interact with our Savior)—</p>
<p>I Corinthians 11:3<br />
3 …I want you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and G-d is the Head of Christ.<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization and abbreviation added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>But the most important thing to remember is that women are still completely equal with men in the highest sense of all: we are all souls Saved by Jesus Christ—</p>
<p>I Peter 3:7<br />
7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the Grace of Life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.<br />

[2] Doctrine and Covenants 84:33-9; Goddesses are always subject to a god. Women are denied the Priesthood (meaning they are denied authority—not the same as Catholic priesthood). “In the LDS universe, theologically described as the real eternal universe, each man who achieves the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom is worth many times more than each woman, even the women who qualify at that highest Celestial level, because each man who achieves Godhood-level may have numerous God-wives, but each God-wife may have only one husband. This can only mean that each “heavenly father” is worth many times more than each “heavenly mother.” And, even if the ratio were strictly one to one, the male God, not the female God, holds the priesthood authority and is the only one of the God parents to whom his earth-mortality children are allowed to pray. So Mormon women can never, NEVER achieve equality with men, no matter how outstanding or righteous the women are. That’s just the way it’s set up.” <em><a href="http://home.teleport.com/~packham/prozac.htm">Mormon Women, PROZAC® And Therapy</a></em> By Kent Ponder, Ph.D. e-mail address: kponder@swcp.com</p>

<p><strong>ISLAM</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.</em></p>
<p><em>How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and of the feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors! Oh, give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh, give us from Thy presence some defender!</em></p>
<p><em>Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil’s strategy is ever weak. ~ </em>Surah 4:74-76</p></blockquote>
<p>What will they find in “Heaven”? Girls <em>and boys</em> waiting to pleasure them—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>They will recline</em> (with ease)<em> on Thrones</em> (of dignity)<em> arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to</em> houris [virgins]<em>, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes. And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith, — to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them </em>(of the fruit)<em> of aught of their works: </em>(Yet)<em> is each individual in pledge for his deeds.</em></p>
<p><em>And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire. They shall there exchange, one with another, a </em>(loving)<em> cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.</em></p>
<p><em>Round about them will serve, </em>(devoted)<em> to them, young male servants </em>(handsome)<em> as Pearls well-guarded. They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry. They will say: &#8220;Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people. But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.” ~ </em>Surah 52:20-27</p></blockquote>
<p>Pretty twisted, huh? Just in case you wanted to slay some infidels but really wanted to be sure of the “boy” thing in your “heaven,” here’s more—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>And they will be given to drink there of a Cup</em> (of Wine)<em> mixed with Zanjabil, — A fountain there, called Salsabil. And round about them will </em>(serve)<em> youths of perpetual </em>(freshness)<em>: If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent. ~</em>Surah 76:17-20</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>CHRISTIANITY</strong></p>
<p>In dramatic contrast to the fleshly promises of food and perverse sex found in these false religions, the observant Christian can expect that, <em>while suffering</em>, they can take heart in the indescribable Glory that will one day be revealed to them—</p>
<p>Romans 8:18<br />
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory that is to be revealed to us!<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>It is Glory so simple and subtle, yet beyond words; the Glory of being the friend of Almighty G-d—</p>
<p>Exodus 33:11<br />
11 Thus the L-RD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend.<br />
New American Standard Update (abbreviation added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>It is a friendship defined by sacrifice <em>given</em>, not taken—</p>
<p>John 15:13-15<br />
13 “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.<br />
14<em> You</em> are My friends if you do what I command you!<br />
15 No longer do I call you ‘slaves,’ for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you ‘friends,’ for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”<br />
NASU</p>
<p>It exists in a Place where lusts of the flesh no-longer have pull…or even meaning—</p>
<p>Matthew 22:23-30<br />
23 On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,<br />
24 asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.’<br />
25 Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;<br />
26 so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.<br />
27 Last of all, the woman died.<br />
28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”<br />
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the Power of G-d.<br />
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”<br />
NASU</p>
<p>Anyway, all of this scandal finally caught up with Joseph Smith in Missouri. And he handled it in an interesting way—</p>
<blockquote><p>On October 14th, 1838 Joseph Smith equated himself with Muhammad. As reported by another Mormon historian, in a speech given to “every able-bodied Mormon in Caldwell County” Missouri, [Smith] said:</p>
<p>“If the people will let us alone we will preach the gospel in peace. But if they come on us to molest us, we will establish our religion by the sword. We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘Alcoran [“the Qur’an”] or the Sword.’ So shall it eventually be with us — ‘Joseph Smith or the Sword!’” (Fawn Brodie, <em>No Man Knows My History</em>, 230-231. See <em>History of the Church</em> 3:167) ~ <em><a href="http://blog.mrm.org/category/joseph-smith/">Archive for the “Joseph Smith” Category</a></em>, January 30, 2008, Sharon Lindbloom</p></blockquote>
<p>So Joseph Smith equated <em>himself</em> with Muhammad, threatening blood retribution for the rejection of his “gospel”…because that is what Muhammad did—</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The Sayings and Deeds of Muhammad and His Companions</strong></p>
<p>One of Muhammad’s popular claims is that God commanded him to fight people until they become Muslims and carry out the ordinances of Islam. All Muslim scholars without exception agree on this. Muhammad said: “I have been ordered by God to fight with people till they bear testimony to the fact that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger, and that they establish prayer and pay Zakat (money). If they do it, their blood and their property are safe from me” (Bukhari Vol. I, p. 13).</p>
<p>Scholars understood this claim to mean the waging of offensive wars against unbelievers in order to force them to embrace Islam as individuals or communities. This is exactly what Muhammad himself did in carrying out God’s commandment to him.</p>
<p><strong>Azhar’s Scholars in Egypt</strong></p>
<p>In his book, “Jurisprudence in Muhammad’s Biography”, the Azhar scholar, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti says the following (page 134, 7<sup>th</sup> edition): “The Holy War, as it is known in Islamic Jurisprudence, is basically an offensive war. This is the duty of Muslims in every age when the needed military power becomes available to them. This is the phase in which the meaning of Holy War has taken its final form. Thus the apostle of God said: ‘I was commanded to fight the people until they believe in God and his message &#8230;’” ~ <em><a href="http://www.islam-watch.org/Shabana/TruthAboutIslam1.htm">Truth About Islam</a></em>, Shabana Muhammad, 10 June, 2006</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Both</em> of these “gospels” are in <strong>stark</strong> contrast to the Message of the Prince of Peace—</p>
<p>Matthew 5:39-47<br />
39 “But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.<br />
40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.<br />
41 Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.<br />
42 Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.<br />
43 You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’<br />
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,<br />
45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.<br />
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?<br />
47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?”<br />
NASU</p>
<p>By the way, <em>that </em>is why Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was so successful in his efforts to erase bigotry, while Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan (both followers of Muhammad) <strong>exacerbated</strong> racial strife — in the case of Farrakhan, he still does <em>to this</em> <em>day</em>.</p>
<p>Why was polygamy so important to Joseph Smith and to Muhammad? Because they were <em>ruled</em> by lust (might I even say, “demons of lust”?)—</p>
<blockquote><p>Most of Smith’s plural wives boarded with other families, whom he visited periodically. His secretary, William Clayton, recorded one such visit to young Almera Johnson on May 16, 1843: “Prest. Joseph and I went to B[enjamin] F. Johnsons [sic] to sleep.” Johnson himself later noted that on this visit Smith stayed with Almera “as man and wife” and “occupied the same room and bed with my sister, that the previous month he had occupied with the daughter of the late Bishop Partridge as his wife.” Almera Johnson also confirmed her secret marriage to Joseph Smith: “I lived with the prophet Joseph as his wife and he visited me at the home of my brother Benjamin F.”</p>
<p>While in hiding, Joseph Smith wrote a revealing letter which he addressed to her parents, Newel and Elizabeth Whitney, inviting them to bring their daughter to visit him “just back of Brother Hyrums [sic] farm.” He advised Brother Whitney to “come a little a head and knock at the south East corner of the house at the window.” He assured them, especially Sarah Ann, that “it is the will of God that you should comfort me now.” He stressed the need for care “to find out when Emma comes,” but “when she is not here, there is the most perfect saftey [sic].” The prophet warned them to “burn this letter as soon as you read it” and “keep all locked up in your breasts.” In closing <a href="http://www.xmission.com/~research/family/strange.htm">he admonished</a>, “I think Emma won’t come to night if she dont [sic], dont [sic] fail to come tonight.” ~ <em><a href="http://www.mormoncurtain.com/topic_josephsmithpolyandrypolygamy.html">Joseph Smith…Cover[ed] Polygamy Pregnancies</a></em>, The Mormon Curtain</p>
<p>Muhammad had sex with just about anyone he pleased, thanks to Allah’s remarkable interest in his personal sex life.</p>
<p>Muhammad was married to eleven women at one time, relegating them to either consecutive days or (according to some accounts) all in one night. He married a 9-year-old girl and even his adopted son’s wife. On top of that he had a multitude of slave girls and concubines with whom he had sex &#8211; sometimes on the very days in which they had watched their husbands and fathers die at the hands of Muhammad’s armies.</p>
<p>So, by any realistic measure, the creator of the world’s most sexually restrictive religion was also one of the most sexually indulgent characters in history.</p></blockquote>
<p>For the sake of brevity, I have given just 2 of the examples listed by this site—</p>
<blockquote><p>Sura (33:37) — <em>“But when Zaid had accomplished his want of her, We gave her to you as a wife, so that there should be no difficulty for the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their want of them; and Allah’s command shall be performed.”</em> No doubt millions of young Muslims, trying to outdo one another at memorizing the Quran, have wondered about what this verse means and why it is there. In fact, this is a “revelation” of convenience that Allah just happened to hand down at a time when Muhammad lusted after his daughter-in-law, Zaynab, — an affair that disturbed local customs. The verse “commands” Muhammad to marry the woman (following her husband’s gracious divorce). As for why this should be part of the eternal word of God&#8230;?</p>
<p>Sura (33:50) — <em>“O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her </em>—<em> specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you;”</em> This is another special command that Muhammad handed down to himself that allows virtually unlimited sex, divinely sanctioned by Allah. One assumes that there was some sort of disgruntlement in the community over Muhammad’s hedonism that this “revelation” was meant to assuage. ~ <em><a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/025-Muhammads-sex-life.htm">What does the Religion of Peace Teach About&#8230;The Sex Life of the Prophet</a></em>, Religion of Peace.com</p></blockquote>
<p>As I was saying, this all caught up with Joseph Smith in Missouri.</p>
<blockquote>[Smith] claimed to have received a revelation on polygamy in 1842 but hid it from the public during his lifetime. [That issue was] key to his arrest. In public he strongly denied polygamy while practicing it privately.</p>
<p>On June 7, 1844…Smith read the first (and only) edition of the Navoo Expositor. This paper was printed by [Smith]’s second in command, William Law and William’s brother Wilson. In this only edition, Law publicly exposed [Smith]’s “Plural Wife System.” [Smith] had proposed to William’s wife and wanted her to become one of his plural wives. (The fact that [Smith] proposed to another man’s wife is always ignored in LDS reviews of [Smith]’s death.) She was highly offended and told her husband, who purchased a printing press and exposed [Smith] in public print.</p>
<p>Joseph Smith was so upset about being exposed that he called a city council meeting and, as mayor, declared the press a public nuisance and ordered it destroyed (<em>Documentary History of the Church</em> [DHoC], Vol. 7, pp. 61-65). Even in 1844, this was a violation of freedom of the press. [Smith] was first arrested in Navoo, but being the mayor, he let himself out of jail on his own recognizance. This is why charges were filed against him in Carthage.</p>
<p>The Navoo Expositor was the first newspaper to publicly expose Joseph Smith’s active practice of polygamy and his attempts to marry other men’s wives [“polyandry”]. The polygamy revelation (D&amp;C 132) was not printed until some years after the saints arrived in Salt Lake. [Smith]’s first wife Emma did not like polygamy. After [Smith] was killed, she denied that [Smith] ever practiced it and blamed Brigham Young for the polygamy revelation (D&amp;C 132).</p>
<p>While Smith was in jail, 2 guns were smuggled in to help him break out. [Smith] defended himself by shooting…with a pepperbox six-shooter that belonged to John Taylor which was smuggled into the jail by Cyrus Wheelock (HoC 7:100).</p>
<p>The gun battle in the jail is recorded in DHoC 7:101-105. John Taylor recorded the number of shots fired by Joseph Smith. He shot all six rounds, but three shots misfired. The three shots that did go off killed two men and wounded a third. It is recorded that Joseph Smith was shot in the back while trying to escape by jumping through the second-story window. His dying words were uttered outside on the ground. ~ <em><a href="http://www.macgregorministries.org/mormons/pagent.html">The Mormon Miracle Pageant</a></em>, Marshall Almarode, MacGregor Ministries.org</p></blockquote>
<p>These were the events that set the stage for the Mountain Meadows massacre.</p>
<p>Of course the Mormons that remained in Missouri were driven out and they found a new home in what was to become Utah.</p>
<p>Fueled by their isolationism, warped ideology and paranoia, they were expecting a company of U.S. soldiers to come wipe them out. When they saw the Fancher-Baker wagon train filled with Arkansas and Missouri immigrants bound for California, they knew it was time to act.</p>
<p>Two men — leaders in the Mormon militia, Isaac C. Haight and John D. Lee — conspired to lead Paiute tribesmen and Mormon militiamen disguised as Indians in an attack. Unfortunately for them, the Bible-thumping pilgrims were armed and able to defend themselves. In spite of their long journey and need for rest, the immigrants accounted for themselves well enough to turn the attack into more of a siege.</p>
<p>After 5 days, a group of plain-dressed Mormons approached the wagon train under a flag of truce and claimed that they had worked a deal with the Paiutes; if they turned over all of their 800 head of cattle and the rest of their supplies, the survivors would be permitted to leave the area with their lives.</p>
<p>As soon as they left their defensive perimeter, the Mormons turned and executed the men while (it was reported) they had the Paiutes execute the women and children. A small number of children too young to understand their circumstance were permitted to live.</p>

Do you know what was going on at that time? If you were educated in an American public school you probably don’t. Before word of the atrocity could get circulated in a time before internet, TV and telephones, the Civil War broke out in 1860.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until 20 years later that the incident was investigated. The only conviction was that of John D. Lee. LDS president Brigham Young could not be proven to have been criminally involved in the atrocity but, if he knew of the events as they took place (and it’s a good bet that he did), he was guilty by omission. It is a matter of historical record that Young righteously called the slaughter “God’s vengeance,” (<em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Prophets-Brigham-Massacre-Mountain/dp/0806136391">Blood of the Prophets</a></em>, Will Bagley, p. 247)</p>
<p>Back before judges and governments were warped by liberalism, socialism and secular humanism, there was still a sense of G-dly Justice. Upon conviction, John D. Lee was taken to the scene of the massacre and summarily shot by a military firing squad.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> 13 February, 2008 (Wednesday) —</p>
<p>In spite of my vote for Governor Mitt Romney, he has been forced out of the Republican primary by an unholy alliance between media darling Senator John McCain and self proclaimed “Evangelical Christian” Mike Huckabee.</p>
<p>Do you want to know what trumps the sordid, perverted past of Governor Romney’s religion? — The best interests of this nation.</p>
<p>If I have the time and energy, I will put together a voter’s guide that spells out the specifics of why I endorsed and voted for Mitt Romney as the best choice given Republican voters to protect the strength and values of the United States. Given that so many well-known names on the Right were with me like Rush Limbaugh, Senator Rick Santorum, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Lars Larson and Senator Thad Cochran to name a few, I think you can understand where I was coming from.</p>
<p>But, after delivering an amazing speech at the 2008 Conservative Political Action Committee (<em>where was this ideological passion during the campaign??</em>) Romney bowed out of the race.</p>
<p>It is a foregone conclusion that the Romney campaign was doomed by thousands of Christians who knew too little about what Mike Huckabee stands for (like a free ride for illegal aliens and criminals—over <em>one thousand</em> pardons delivered by governor Huckabee) and simply played identity politics; “Hmm. Huckabee ‘Christian,’ me Christian too! I vote for him!!”</p>
<p>No different than the racists who vote for Obama because he’s black or the sexists who vote for the bride of satan, Hillary Rodham Clinton because she has ovaries.</p>
<p>Well, my stupid brothers and sisters, you have gotten rid of the Mormon whose religion, thanks to over a century of life in America, was really no threat <em>what-so-ever</em> and have exchanged him for a Baptist minister who said he wants to make amends for president Bush’s “bunker mentality” foreign policy and have tea with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — the Iranian leader who claims there was no Jewish Holocaust <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-mY1e]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-588" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens.jpg" alt="dour mittens" width="301" height="226" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens.jpg 413w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-150x113.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-300x225.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-24x18.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-36x27.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-48x36.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px" /></a>(while he eagerly prepares to initiate another).</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, morons, did you happen to notice that Huckabee is now getting <em>creamed</em> by McNasty who is a shoo-in to become the guy we put up against the Democrat winner who will be riding a <em>massive</em> wave of anti-Bush, debt-increasing, illegal-loving hatred?</p>
<p>But, hey, we don’t need to worry about the president telling someone that Jesus is the “spirit brother” of Lucifer, do we.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contrary to the fools in the American news media, “Al Qaeda” was not responsible for the bombings in London today. Our efforts in Afghanistan and around the world have greatly reduced the reach of bin Laden. Just because some cockroach cowards managed to pull off more than one bombing at roughly the same time (an Al Qaeda “MO”) doesn’t mean that they are an extension of that organization.</p>
<p>What we HAVEN’T done is reduced the affect the “prophet” Muhammad is having upon “disenfranchised” muslims around the world. This is a war of IDEAS and, because of that, there will never be a lack of available bodies looking to carry bombs all the way to their 72 virgins (in fact, latest data would suggest TOTAL cowardice in the London attacks because it is now believed the bombs were planted with timing devices—certainly NOT the adversary Japan or Germany was).</p>
<p>My prayers go out to the families of those who lost loved ones this morning (afternoon in London).</p>
<p>I can not imagine getting a phone call that my wife wouldn’t be coming home tonight…because an Islamist animal blew her apart as she tried to get home.</p>
<p>I can not imagine.</p>
<p>What makes me even <em>more</em> incredulous is how quickly all of the talking heads from both Right and Left are rushing to NOT admit the obvious—that Islam is the driving force behind this and many other recent atrocities. Time and time again I saw lily-white, non-Arab, non-Muslim commentators telling me that this was an obvious aberration, the practitioners of Islam are a PEACEFUL people. They reveled in comparing terrorists to people like me by saying the ones who did this are just a “far-right,” “ultra-conservative,” religious zealot, tiny minority. “Religion” can drive people crazy.</p>
<p>The politicians quickly jumped in to add their useless agreements in defense of Islam, from George Bush to Tony Blair.</p>
<p>My question is…WHERE ARE THE MUSLIM SPOKESPEOPLE?</p>
<p>Allow me to draw an analogy. As we Christians immerse ourselves into the issue of “abortion,” we very quickly get sickened. As we, on the Right, look at the issue in stark, medical truths, it becomes easy to be overwhelmed with frustration and anger—to see the most innocent form of life ripped limb-from-limb, or burned alive with saline solution, or have their precious little heads ripped open to have the brains torn out. The more you know, the stronger the impulse for you to take matters into your own hands. There are those who have done that by bombing a clinic or killing the doctor who commits these atrocities.</p>
<p>But murder of a murderer is still murder. Those who do such things are quickly prosecuted to the full extent of the law (one of the rare occasions for secularists to seek justice is when their perversity is threatened).</p>
<p>But the climax of my analogy is the number of Christian spokespeople who will quickly rush to microphones to explain that they, their church and Jesus Christ does not/do not condone murder.</p>
<p>That is not the case in Islam. In fact, the reverse is true. When westerners are slaughtered (particularly Jews and Christians), many muslims cheer.</p>
<p>Like they did in Somalia, 1993.</p>

<p>Like they do when they murder and desecrate American contractors (Fallujah, 2004)</p>

<p>Sadly, Londoners are reaping what their politicians have sowed.</p>
<blockquote>[London Mayor Ken] Livingstone has in the past labeled Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi a “man of peace” and a “moderate,” despite the fact that Al-Qaradawi has supported suicide bombings and the targeting of American allies.</p>
<p>Livingstone welcomed Al-Qaradawi to London’s City Hall last year as an honored guest, and the mayor appeared in a video shown at a solidarity conference for the sheikh on Feb. 17 of this year in Doha, Qatar. Livingstone has publicly defended the sheikh against critics in the media and various grassroots organizations.</p>
<p>Al-Qaradawi is a prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood and his fatwas, or theological rulings are said to influence millions of followers who consider him an authoritative scholar on Islamic issues.</p>
<p>Al-Qaradawi’s theological justification for suicide bombings is entitled, “Hamas Operations Are Jihad and Those Who [Carry it Out and] Are Killed are Considered Martyrs” and appears on a website linked to the Hamas terror organization.</p>
<p>Following Al-Qaradawi’s arrival in London on July 7, 2004, BBC TV2 aired an interview in which he said Islam justifies suicide bombings in Iraq against the U.S. military and in Israel against women and children.</p>
<p>In his weekly television program on Al-Jazeera, titled “Religion and Life” (or “Sharia and Life”), Al-Qaradawi explained that there are two types of jihad, one that takes place when an Islamic state invades another country in order to “spread the word of Islam” and a second “repulsing jihad,” which “takes place when your land is being invaded and conquered,” according to the Middle East Research Institute.</p>
<p>“[In that case you must] repulse [the invader] to the best of your ability. If you kill him he will end up in hell, and if he kills you, you become a martyr (shahid),” Al-Qaradawi reportedly said. He elaborated by saying that a person committing such an act “is not a suicide [bomber]. He kills the enemy while taking self-risk &#8230; He wants to scare his enemies, and the religious authorities have permitted this…”</p>
<p>In July of last year, following public and media criticism of Al-Qaradawi in Great Britain, Livingstone apologized to the cleric on behalf of his constituents. “I want to apologize to the Sheikh for the outbreak of xenophobia and hysteria in some sections of the tabloid press, which demonstrated an underlying ignorance of Islam,” the mayor said.</p>
<p>Livingstone then invited the sheikh to return to London in October of 2004 to participate in a three-day European Social Forum at Alexander Palace, adding that it would be an “honor” to host Al-Qaradawi.</p>
<p>Livingstone also released a dossier aimed at showing Al-Qaradawi was a respected scholar throughout the Muslim world…”Dr al-Qaradawi has shared platforms with, or met, such prominent figures as former-U.S. president Bill Clinton, the French foreign minister…to promote understanding between Islam and the West,” the mayor stated.</p>
<p>In January of this year, Livingstone further defended Al-Qaradawi in an interview with the BBC. “When you get a progressive figure who [moves] that religion in the correct direction, you engage and you develop it,” Livingstone said. ~ <em><a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=ForeignBureausarchive200507FOR20050707g.html">London Mayor Defended ‘Theologian of Terror’</a></em>, by Sherrie Gossett, CNSNews.com Staff Writer, July 07, 2005</p></blockquote>
<p>But not even Londoners are free of blame. Coddling muslims who spread hate has been an established practice:</p>
<blockquote><p>London, September 11, 2002: An obscene spectacle took place in North London earlier today . A thousand Muslims gathered at the Finsbury Park mosque to “celebrate” the bombing of the World Trade Center. The Metropolitan Police deployed a force 500 strong to protect the meeting, called “A Towering Day in History,” from disruption.</p>
<p>A dozen or so menacing-looking men with kaffiyehs over their faces stood on the mosque’s steps to prevent unfriendly journalists from entering.</p>
<p>The “celebration” began promptly at 1 PM, so that participants could applaud the action of the WTC bombers at exactly 1:46 London time—the exact time, a year earlier, when the first plane hit its target in New York. Chairing the meeting was Abu Hamza, an Egyptian-born engineer turned Muslim mullah, who presides over the notorious Finsbury Park mosque, where several of the detainees in Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay, captured fighting for the Taliban and al-Qaida, received their theological training.</p>
[What a contrast to that of elected representatives of the American Left who decry the plight of those interned at Guantanamo Bay. They can rightly be called seditionists—those who give aid and comfort to our enemies.]
<p>Hamza also reportedly recruited to the jihad Richard Reid, the would-be shoe-bomber who failed to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami on December 22, 2001. The good Imam is implicated as well in the training and instigation of Zacarias Moussaoui, under arrest on suspicion of conspiring with the 19 murderers of September 11.</p>
<p>The FBI has applied for Hamza’s extradition from the U.K for questioning in the U.S. (the mullah has been a British subject since 1985), but he is still at large in London, free not only to address his congregation but to “celebrate” the events of 9/11. He told the press that Saudi Muslims financed the “celebration” in the hope that from it will arise an organization that represents “the real views of Muslims in Britain.”</p>
<p>Scotland Yard’s information office refuses to answer questions as to why Abu Hamza isn’t under arrest…Hamza and his mosque act as a focus for young men who have taken the first step of embracing jihadi Islam. They have been known to “pass through” the Finsbury Park mosque and then branch out into clandestine training facilities and programs in Britain and abroad. At last count, the British Foreign Office reported that at least 4,000 British Muslims had received training from al-Qaida, the Taliban, or associated terror groups. Many of these came from Hamza’s congregation, which acts as a point of contact with networks abroad.</p>
<p>Hamza is in every way a sinister character. He is blind in one eye, and his left hand has been blown off and replaced by a metal claw. He claims in interviews that he lost his hand and eye when fighting the Russians in Afghanistan, and he uses these injuries as his warrior credentials. The claim is a lie. A British documentary producer, Alu Jamal, interviewed him on camera in Pakistan for a BBC film a year after the Russians left Afghanistan. The footage shows Hamza with his eye and hand intact. His injuries probably result from mishandling explosives.</p>
<p>Hamza is also wanted on criminal charges in Yemen in connection with an incident in 1998, when six young British Muslims, all of whom had at some point been under his tutelage, were arrested in that country on suspicion of terrorism. They were caught with weapons, explosives, plans, and maps—all of which they intended to use to attack British diplomats, their families, homes, offices, and church. When the men were captured and tried, they and their families in Britain instantly applied to these same diplomats whose families they had come to murder to represent them—as they were British citizens—and to secure their release from Yemeni justice. One of the young men ultimately convicted was Abu Hamza’s adopted son.</p>
<p>The trail of the terrorists led back to Hamza. Far from denying—as their families insisted on doing, despite the evidence—that these men were on a terrorist mission, Hamza said he was in favor of armed struggle against all agencies of the British state that supported corrupt regimes, and if these men, including his son, were found guilty and executed, they would be martyrs to the cause of Islam.</p>
<p>If this isn’t sedition, what is?</p>
<p>The assembly adjourned twice for prayers, and the crowds flowed out into the courtyard, led by the muezzin. The star of the meeting was Omar Bakri, a cleric of Syrian origin who heads the sinister cult Al Mahajiroun, which draws its recruits mainly from the colleges and universities of Britain. Al Mahajiroun seeks to make Britain an Islamic state. Bakri told his rapt audience that they must learn the “lessons” of September 11—the murderous lessons, presumably. ~ <em><a href="http://www.city-journal.org/html/eon_9_11_02fd.html">London Muslims “Celebrate” 9/11</a></em>, Farrukh Dhondy, City Journal online</p></blockquote>
<p>We are fools. While Islamists put on a front of tolerance and education (an education they gladly take from western universities—and we gladly give them), the truth of their religion lies hidden…waiting to explode in a restaurant…or on a bus. A muslim “moderate” is nothing more than someone who does not put their heart into what they believe. Those who follow Muhammad with passion, end up like DOCTOR Hasan al-Turabi.</p>
<p>In 1989, al-Turabi was emir (“leader”) of the National Islamic Front in Sudan, and wanted Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda to relocate there from their refuges on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border—</p>
<blockquote><p>…although some Al Qaeda members questioned whether they should trust a European-educated Islamist (al-Turabi had studied at the Sorbonne)…one of the delegates responded that al-Turabi had memorized the Koran and was an expert in Koranic law with forty years’ experience of Islamic study and preaching. ~ <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0425191141/qid=1121034450/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-4111931-1642528">Inside Al Qaeda</a></em>, Rohan Gunaratna, pp. 40-41</p></blockquote>
<p>But what London Mayor Ken Livingstone did in pandering to a similar chameleon, is no different than George Bush or Tony Blair rewarding the murdering barbarians who surround Israel with promises of a Palestinian state—</p>
<p><strong><a title="Bush (Blair) To Push For Palestinian State" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/11/world/main655174.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bush (Blair) To Push For Palestinian State</a></strong></p>
<h6 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/bloody-hands-03.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-ml2k]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-307" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/bloody-hands-03.jpg" alt="bloody hands 03" width="644" height="203" /></a><br />
In October of 2000, the Palestinian Authority arrested two Israeli reservists who, by mistake, entered the city of Ramallah, in the West Bank. A mob of Palestinians stormed the police station and lynched the two reservists. Many were then <a href="http://www.factsofisrael.com/blog/archives/000123-print.html">seen showing their bloody hands</a> and encouraging their children to emulate them.</h6>
<p>So what is the truth? —If you are a Christian, the truth is easy: Islam is a demon-inspired delusion and its practitioners must be won over to the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ…for the sake of <em>their</em> souls and the lives of <em>our</em> children.</p>
<p>If you are a secularist, the self-evident truth is simple: there is a qualitative difference between Islam and other major religions (especially Christianity). THERE WILL NEVER BE PEACE AS LONG AS ISLAM FLOURISHES. The very CORE of ultimate Islam is eradication of Jews and Christians.</p>
<p>Though, I have heard NO powerful Muslim voice decry the actions of Osama bin Laden, I have heard and seen a great many average Muslim voices idolizing him. Syndicated talk show host Michael Savage has this photograph posted on his web site, taken during the relief efforts for the countries hit by a vicious tsunami in 2004 (Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South India, Thailand)—</p>

<p>Needless to say, citizens such as the one above were EXTREMELY grateful for the vast number of American tax dollars they received as well as the sweat and effort given up by more than a few American service members.</p>
<p>Why does bin Laden have such broad appeal? —Is it because he is considered as the ultimate Muslim?:</p>
<blockquote><p>Both [DOCTOR Ayman Muhammad] al-Zawahiri and [bin Laden] are followers of the Salafi strand of Islam, which is associated with Wahhabism. Salafis are known as the pious pioneers of Islam, and the Salafi Dawah (Call of the Salafis) is Islam in its totality, addressing all humanity irrespective of culture, race or color. It is this aspect that enabled [bin Laden] to reach beyond the Sunni’s, because Salafism empowered Al Qaeda to forge links with Shias and hence establish a working ,relationship with groups such as Hezbollah. The Salafi strand aims to return the entire nation to the sublime Koran and the Prophet’s authentic Sunnah. It also strives to revive Islamic thought within the boundaries of Islamic principles (meaning the presentation of realistic Islamic solutions to contemporary problems) and to establish a true Islamic society governed by Allah’s laws. It is pure and free from any additions, deletions or alterations. As such, for an Al Qaeda member the Salafi school is complete, perfect in its methodology of understanding Islam and of acting according to its teaching. As one Al Qaeda member put it: “The Prophet said that the Salaf are the best generation of Muslims. Those who come after them have been guaranteed success, victory, salvation and safety from the fire [i.e., hell]. In our generation, Osama is a Salafi.” ~ <em>Inside Al Qaeda</em>, Rohan Gunaratna, pp. 36-37</p></blockquote>
<p>Craig Winn wrote an exhaustive expose (nearly 1,000 pages long) on Muhammad and Islam entitled <em>Prophet of Doom</em> in which he analyzed the Sira, the Ta’rikh, (“History of al-Tabari”), and the topical Hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim:</p>
<blockquote>[In] using Islam’s most holy books I was able to reorder the Qur’an chronologically and set it into the context of Muhammad’s life. The result is bone chilling. The depiction of the prophet by the most revered Muslim sources reveals behavior that is immoral, criminal, and violent. The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don’t portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur’an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity. And by putting the Qur’an in chronological order and correlating it with the context of Muhammad’s life, we find that Allah mirrored his prophet’s character. Muhammad’s god condoned immoral and criminal behavior. Allah boasts about being a terrorist. He claims to have deceived men, to have stolen their property, to have enslaved women and children, to having committed acts of murder, genocide, and sadistic tortures. ~ <em><a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/">Prophet of Doom</a></em></p>
<p>Despite what you’ve heard in the media, there is but one Islam, a singular correct view of Muhammad, Allah, and Jihad. It is the one printed in the Qur’an and Hadith. There is no independent record of Muhammad in history from which a variant view may be drawn. The Hadith and Qur’an are the sole repository of information on this man, his times, means, and mission. The Muhammad of Islam, the god of Islam, and the religion of Islam must be as these sources present them.</p>
<p>The simple truth is: <em>good </em>Muslims are <em>bad</em> people. Islam makes them that way. While there are plenty of “bad” Muslims who are good people, they are as impotent as bad Nazis in the Third Reich or bad Communists during Stalin’s era. The Qur’an defines good and bad Muslims for us. It says a <em>good</em> Muslim is a Jihadist, a man who leaves his home, sacrificing his wealth and life; fighting in Allah’s cause. Allah says they will be rewarded with stolen booty if they survive or with a heavenly bordello if they die. Bad Muslims, on the other hand; are peaceful. Allah calls them “hypocrites” because they are unwilling to fight. He even says that peaceful Muslims are “the most vile of creatures” and that hell’s hottest fires await them. If you are a peace-loving Muslim, your god hates you.</p>
<p>Good Muslims, those who read Islam’s scriptures long before I cracked their covers, planned, funded, staffed, executed, and celebrated the terrorist attacks of 9/11. They proudly told the world what they were going to do—terrorize Americans and Jews into submission. They boldly proclaimed <em>why</em> they were going to do it—for the advancement of Islam. They even told us who they were—good Muslims. But we ignored their announcements. It was as if on the morning of December 7th 1941, nobody noticed the rising sun insignias on the planes bombing Pearl Harbor. The bombers of September 11<sup>th</sup> 2001 wore insignias too. Theirs was a crescent moon.</p>
<p>For those who support the politically-inspired notion that terrorism is not condoned by Islam, that terrorists have corrupted an otherwise peaceful religion, consider this. The world’s foremost authority on the Qur’an is sheik Abde Rahman. He was the senior professor of Qur’anic studies at Islam’s most prestigious university, Al-Azhar, in Cairo. Today, the sheik is a convicted-terrorist, serving time in an American prison for the ’93 bombing of the World Trade Center. If the Qur’an espouses peace, that’s hard to explain.</p>
<p>The conflict between truth and perception doesn’t end there. Rahman’s disciples, an Egyptian sheik and a Saudi terrorist (Osama bin Laden) told a film crew that Islam was their motivation for the second bombing.</p>
<p>Bin Laden [said] “We calculated in advance the number of the casualties the enemy would suffer, and who would be killed based upon the position of the planes as they hit the towers. I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the planes would melt the iron structure of the buildings and collapse them. This is all I had hoped for.” The sheik replied, “Allah be praised.” He shared how Muslims watching television “exploded with joy,” telling bin Laden, “Egyptian TV ran a subtitle below the images of the crumbled buildings: ‘In-revenge for the children of al-Aqsa, Osama bin Laden executes an operation against America.” Bin Laden replied, “The brothers who conducted the operation knew they were on a martyrdom mission. Allah bless their souls.”</p>
<p>These words come directly out of the Qur’an’s “Spoils of War,” surah: “Allah has sent you from your homes to fight for the Cause. Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words: wipe the Infidels out to the last. I shall fill the hearts of the Infidels with terror! So smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them for they are opposed to Allah and His Apostle. Whoever opposes us should know that Allah is severe in retribution. The Infidels will taste the torment of Hell. So when you meet them in battle do not retreat, for all who turn away from fighting will bring the wrath of Allah on themselves and their abode will be Hell. It was not you who killed them, but Allah who did so. You did not throw what you threw. Allah did to bring out the best in the faithful.” ~ <em><a href="http://www.prophetofdoom.net/">Prophet of Doom</a></em>, pp. v-vi</p></blockquote>
<p>So this is our enemy. Is there anyone in public life that has the courage to call them what they are, so that we may adequately defend ourselves and our loved ones? —No. And for that reason, we are doomed to never vanquish them. Although they will never manage the co-operation, courage and intelligence to truly conquer a civilized nation, they will continue to turn individual homes all over the world into abodes of weeping and mourning while our leaders pat them on the back and encourage them to live, educate and kill in our countries.</p>

<p>This information came from Alberto Rivera, former Jesuit priest after his conversion to Protestant Christianity.  It is excerpted from <a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/289690696/THE-PROPHET-By-Alberto-Rivera-Published-by-Chick-Publications-pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Prophet</em></a>, published by <a href="http://www.chick.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chick Publications</a>, PO Box 662, Chino, CA 91708.</p>
<p>Since its publication, after several unsuccessful attempts on his life, he died suddenly from food poisoning.</p>
<p>His testimony should not be silenced. Dr. Rivera speaks to us still&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-6j2d]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3904" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto.jpg" alt="Alberto" width="200" height="280" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto.jpg 200w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto-107x150.jpg 107w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto-17x24.jpg 17w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto-26x36.jpg 26w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Alberto-34x48.jpg 34w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></a>What I’m going to tell you is what I learned in secret briefings in the Vatican when I was a Jesuit priest, under oath and induction.</p>
<p>A Jesuit cardinal named Augustine Bea showed us how desperately the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third century.</p>
<p>Because of its religious history and its strategic location, the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure.  A scheme had to be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic city.</p>
<p>The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael.  The poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans ever devised by the powers of darkness.</p>
<p>Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel setting up small churches, but they met heavy opposition.  Both the Jews and the Roman government persecuted the believers in Christ to stop their spread. But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 AD, Roman armies under General Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple which was the heart of Jewish worship in fulfillment of Christ s prophecy in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A2&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 24:2</a>.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">On this holy placed today where the temple once stood, the Dome of the Rock Mosque stands as Islam s second most holy place.</span></p>
<p>Sweeping changes were in the wind. Corruption, apathy, greed, cruelty, perversion and rebellion were eating at the Roman Empire, and it was ready to collapse.</p>
<p>The persecution against Christians was useless as they continued to lay down their lives for the gospel of Christ.</p>
<p>The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit “Christian” religion to destroy the work of God.  The solution was in Rome.  Their religion had come from ancient Babylon and all it needed was a face-lift.  This didn’t happen overnight, but began in the writings of the “early church fathers.”</p>
<p>It was through their writings that a new religion would take shape.  The statue of Jupiter in Rome was eventually called St. Peter, and the statue of Venus was changed to the Virgin Mary.  The site chosen for its headquarters was on one of the seven hills called “Vaticanus,” the place of diving serpent where the Satanic temple of Janus stood.</p>
<p>The great counterfeit religion was Roman Catholicism, called “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.”  <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+17%3A5&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revelation 17:5</a>.  She was raised up to block the gospel, slaughter the believers in Christ, establish religions, create wars and make the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication as we will see.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Three major religions have one thing in common each has a holy place where they look for guidance.  Roman Catholicism looks to the Vatican as the Holy City.  The Jews look to the wailing wall in Jerusalem, and the Muslims look to Mecca as their Holy City.  Each group believes that they receive certain types of blessings for the rest of their lives for visiting their holy place.</span></p>
<p>In the beginning, Arab visitors would bring gifts to the “House of God,” and the keepers of the Kaaba were gracious to all who came.  Some brought their idols and, not wanting to offend these people, their idols were placed inside the sanctuary.  It is said that the Jews looked upon the Kaaba as an outlying tabernacle of the Lord with veneration until it became polluted with idols.</p>
<p>In a tribal contention over a well (Zamzam) the treasure of the Kaaba and the offerings that pilgrims had given were dumped down the well and it was filled with sand it disappeared.  Many years later Adb Al-Muttalib was given visions telling him where to find the well and its treasure. He became the hero of Mecca, and he was destined to become the grandfather of Muhammad.</p>
<p>Before this time, Augustine became the bishop of North Africa and was effective in winning Arabs to Roman Catholicism, including whole tribes.  It was among these Arab converts to Catholicism that the concept of looking for an Arab prophet developed.</p>
<p>Muhammad’s father died from illness and sons born to great Arab families in places like Mecca were sent into the desert to be suckled and weaned and spend some of their childhood with Bedouin tribes for training and to avoid the plagues in the cities.</p>
<p>After his mother and grandfather also died, Muhammad was with his uncle when a Roman Catholic monk learned of his identity and said, “Take your brother’s son back to his country and guard him against the Jews, for by god, if they see him and know of him that which I know, they will construe evil against him.  Great things are in store for this brother’s son of yours.”</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>The Roman Catholic monk had fanned the flames for future Jewish persecutions at the hands of the followers of Muhammad.  The Vatican desperately wanted Jerusalem because of its religious significance, but was blocked by the Jews.</p>
<p>Another problem was the true Christians in North Africa who preached the gospel.  Roman Catholicism was growing in power, but would not tolerate opposition.</p>
<p>Somehow the Vatican had to create a weapon to eliminate both the Jews and the true Christian believers who refused to accept Roman Catholicism.  Looking to North Africa, they saw the multitudes of Arabs as a source of manpower to do their dirty work.</p>
<p>Some Arabs had become Roman Catholic, and could be used in reporting information to leaders in Rome.  Others were used in an underground spy network to carry out Rome s master plan to control the great multitudes of Arabs who rejected Catholicism.  When “St. Augustine” appeared on the scene, he knew what was going on.  His monasteries served as bases to seek out and destroy Bible manuscripts owned by the true Christians.</p>
<p>The Vatican wanted to create a messiah for the Arabs, someone they could raise up as a great leader, a man with charisma whom they could train, and eventually unite all the non-Catholic Arabs behind him, creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope.</p>
<p>In the Vatican briefing, Cardinal Bea told us this story:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“A wealthy Arabian lady who was a faithful follower of the pope played a tremendous part in this drama.  She was a widow named Khadijah.  She gave her wealth to the church and retired to a convent, but was given an assignment.  She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Khadijah had a cousin named Waraquah,, who was also a very faithful Roman Catholic and the Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad<em>’</em>s advisor.  He had tremendous influence on Muhammad.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training.  Muhammad studied the works of St. Augustine which prepared him for his ‘great calling’.  The Vatican had Catholic Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one who was about to rise up among the people and be the chosen one of their God.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“While Muhammad was being prepared, he was told that his enemies were the Jews and that the only true Christians were Roman Catholic.  He was taught that others calling themselves Christians were actually wicked impostors and should be destroyed.  Many Muslims believe this.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Muhammad began receiving ‘divine revelations’ and his wife’s Catholic cousin Waraquah helped interpret them.  From this came the Koran.  In the fifth year of Muhammad’s mission, persecution came against his followers because they refused to worship the idols in the Kaaba.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Muhammad instructed some of them to flee to Abysinnia where Negus, the Roman Catholic king accepted them because Muhammad<em>’</em>s views on the virgin Mary were so close to Roman Catholic doctrine.  These Muslims received protection from Catholic kings because of Muhammad<em>’</em>s revelations.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols.  History proves that before Islam came into existence, the Sabeans in Arabia worshiped the moon-god who was married to the sun-god.  They gave birth to three goddesses who were worshipped throughout the Arab world as ‘Daughters of Allah’.  An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in 1950 s shows Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told, ‘You are the messenger of Allah’.  This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages.  By the time Muhammad died, the religion of Islam was exploding.  The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Some of Muhammad’s writings were placed in the Koran, others were never published.  They are now in the hands of high ranking holy men (Ayatollahs) in the Islamic faith.”</p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-6j2d]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3923" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass.jpg" alt="alberto ring kiss mass" width="258" height="247" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass.jpg 258w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass-150x144.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass-36x34.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/alberto-ring-kiss-mass-48x46.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px" /></a>When Cardinal Bea shared with us in the Vatican, he said, “These writings are guarded because they contain information that links the Vatican to the creation of Islam.  Both sides have so much information on each other, that if exposed, it could create such a scandal that it would be a disaster for both religions.”</p>
<p>In their “holy” book, the Koran, Christ is regarded as only a prophet.  If the pope was His representative on earth, then he also must be a prophet of God.  This caused the followers of Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another “holy man”.</p>
<p>The pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and conquer the nations of North Africa.  The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive Islamic armies in exchange for three favors:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">1. Eliminate the Jews and Christians (true believers, which they called infidels).<br />
2. Protect the Augustinian Monks and Roman Catholics.<br />
3. Conquer Jerusalem for “His Holiness” in the Vatican.</p>
<p>As time went by, the power of Islam became tremendous.  Jews and true Christians were slaughtered, and Jerusalem fell into their hands.  Roman Catholics were never attacked, nor were their shrines, during this time.  But when the pope asked for Jerusalem, he was surprised at their denial!  The Arab generals had such military success that they could not be intimidated by the pope nothing could stand in the way of their own plan.</p>
<p>Under Waraquah’s direction, Muhammad wrote that Abraham offered Ishmael as a sacrifice.  The Bible says that Isaac was the sacrifice, but Muhammad removed Isaac’s name and inserted Ishmael’s name.  As a result of this and Muhammad’s vision, the faithful Muslims built a mosque, the Dome of the Rock, in Ishmael’s honor on the site of the Jewish temple that was destroyed in 70 AD.  This made Jerusalem the 2nd most holy place in the Islam faith.  How could they give such a sacred shrine to the pope without causing a revolt?</p>
<p>The pope realized what they had created was out of control when he heard they were calling “His Holiness” an infidel.  The Muslim generals were determined to conquer the world for Allah and now they turned toward Europe.  Islamic ambassadors approached the pope and asked for papal bulls to give them permission to invade European countries.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The Vatican was outraged; war was inevitable.  Temporal power and control of the world was considered the basic right of the pope. He wouldn’t think of sharing it with those whom he considered heathens.</p>
<p>The pope raised up his armies and called them crusades to hold back the children of Ishmael from grabbing Catholic Europe.  The crusades lasted centuries and Jerusalem slipped out of the pope’s hands.</p>
<p>Turkey fell and Spain and Portugal were invaded by Islamic forces.  In Portugal, they called a mountain village “Fatima” in honor of Muhammad’s daughter, never dreaming it would become world famous.</p>
<p>Years later when the Muslim armies were poised on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, to invade Italy, there was a serious problem.  The Islamic generals realized they were too far extended.  It was time for peace talks.  One of the negotiators was Francis of Assisi.</p>
<p>As a result, the Muslims were allowed to occupy Turkey in a “Christian” world, and the Catholics were allowed to occupy Lebanon in the Arab world.</p>
<p>It was also agreed that the Muslims could build mosques in Catholic countries without interference as long as Roman Catholicism could flourish Arab countries.</p>
<p>Cardinal Bea told us in Vatican briefings that both the Muslims and Roman Catholics agreed to block and destroy the efforts of their common enemy, Bible-believing Christian missionaries.  Through these concordats, Satan blocked the children of Ishmael from a knowledge of Scripture and the truth.</p>
<p>A light control was kept on Muslims from the Ayatollah down through the Islamic priests, nuns and monks.  The Vatican also engineers a campaign of hatred between the Muslim Arabs and the Jews. Before this, they had co-existed peacefully.</p>
<p>The Islamic community looks on the Bible-believing missionary as a devil who brings poison to the children of Allah.  This explains years of ministry in those countries with little results.</p>
<p>The next plan was to control Islam.  In 1910, Portugal was going Socialistic.  Red flags were appearing and the Catholic Church was facing a major problem.  Increasing numbers were against the church.</p>
<p>The Jesuits wanted Russia involved, and the location of this vision at Fatima could play a key part in pulling Islam to the Mother Church.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>In 1917, the Virgin appeared in Fatima.  “The Mother of God” was a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds.  As a result, the Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat.</p>
<p>Roman Catholics world-wide began praying for the conversion of Russia and the Jesuits invented the Novenas to Fatima which they could perform throughout North Africa, spreading good public relations to the Muslim world.  The Arabs thought they were honoring the daughter of Muhammad, which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe.</p>
<p>As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army to crush Russia and the Orthodox religion, and make Russia Roman Catholic.  A few years after he lost World War II, Pope Pius XII startled the world with his phony “dancing Sun” vision to keep Fatima in the news. It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, Pope Pius was the only one to see this vision.</p>
<p>As a result, a group of followers has grown into a Blue Army worldwide, totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to die for the Blessed Virgin.  But we haven’t seen anything yet.  The Jesuits have their Virgin Mary scheduled to appear four or five times in China, Russia, and major appearance in the U.S.</p>
<p>What has this got to do with Islam?</p>
<p>Note Bishop [Fulton] Sheen’s statement:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Our Lady’s appearances at Fatima marked the turning point in the history of the world’s 350 million Muslims.  After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she ‘is the most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary.”</p>
<p>He believed that the Virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima as a sign and a pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ’s virgin birth, will come to believe in his divinity.</p>
<p>Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima were enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India, and elsewhere, and that many Muslims are now coming into the Roman Catholic Church.</p></blockquote>
