The Muslims are coming

Sorry to interrupt Holy Week with this message, but... 


Nations need to WAKE UP! 

Particularly nations that were once Christian and forsake their faith for secularism. 

The Muslims are coming and they are happy to take what you've tossed aside and make it there own. 


Look at Belgium today... 

"A Muslim party in Belgium says it's preparing to campaign for setting up an Islamic state there. Two candidates from the newly-established Islam party won seats in a recent municipal election."



How will they get out from what they've allowed? 

The Catholic Church had it right centuries ago... 
Fifth Lateran Council 1512-17 A.D. 
SESSION 12 - 16 March 1517 

 "We are suitably carrying out the duty of our office when we renew again that reform of the whole church and its affairs which we have accomplished with profit; when we plan to apply suitable remedies for the unchallenged observance of the reform and to make provision for cathedrals and metropolitan churches so that they may no longer be without their pastors; and when we supervise these remedies with ever-present attention and untiring efforts, by means of which we may be able to render the Lord's flock, which has been entrusted to our care, acceptable and submissive in the sight of the divine majesty. Our aim is also to crush the Turks and other infidels standing firm in the eastern and southern regions. They treat the way of true light and salvation with complete contempt and totally unyielding blindness; they attack the life-giving cross on which our Saviour willed to accept death so that by dying he might destroy death, and by the ineffable mystery of his most holy life he might restore life; and they make themselves hateful enemies of God and most bitter persecutors of the christian religion. Strengthened by defences not only spiritual but also temporal, we may be able, under God's guidance and favour, to oppose the bitter and frequent sallies by which, in wild rage, they move savagely amidst christian blood."

Europe has been flooded with Muslim immigrants and they are not assimilating into the European countries who have taken them in. 
Catholic Catechism: 2241 The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.

These immigrants are not "respecting with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage" of the nations taking them in. 

No, they are working to change these nations into Muslim nations under Sharia Laws. 

What is happening in Europe is happening in the United States too. Take a closer look at Muslims Ilhan Abdullahi Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Harbi Tlaib of Michigan and pay attention to what they are saying and doing because they've got their feet in the door and that is all it takes. 

Quote: In her acceptance speech, delivered without an American flag, Congresswoman-elect Omar opened her speech in Arabic with the greeting, "As-Salam Alaikum, (peace be upon you), alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah), alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah." 

And Tlaib...

Quote: "In Michigan, meanwhile, Rashida Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, won a largely uncontested race for the open seat in state's heavily Democratic 13th congressional district. In Tlaib's acceptance speech, delivered with a Palestinian flag, she credited her victory to the Palestinian cause. "A lot of my strength comes from being Palestinian," she said."

It's no secret that Muslims seek to spread Islam around the world. Some of them fight physical wars to gain ground, others work their way in politically. 

The idiocy of the left in the U.S. cannot be underestimated. So many of our youth, our voting youth in particular are stupid. Plan and simple. They do not seem to know history at all. They can't see what is coming or the price that will be paid one day. Protestant and Catholic alike must oppose any and all foot holds by Muslims in this country or we will lose this country completely. 

Look at Europe. If you think it can't happen here in the United States you are deceiving yourselves. 

I weep for the care, love and beauty of our Holy Catholic Church in days gone by working so hard to protect Christianity and honor Our Lord. 


Sorry to interrupt Holy Week with this message, but...
COUNCIL OF VIENNE (1311-1312)

[25]. "It is an insult to the holy name and a disgrace to the Christian faith that in certain parts of the world subject to Christian princes where Saracens[followers of Islam] live, sometimes apart, sometimes intermingled with Christians, the Saracen priests commonly called Zabazala, in their temples or mosques, in which the Saracens meet to adore the infidel Mahomet, loudly invoke and extol his name each day at certain hours from a high place, in the hearing of both Christians and Saracens and there make public declarations in his honour. There is a place, moreover, where once was buried a certain Saracen whom other Saracens venerate as a saint. A great number of Saracens flock there quite openly from far and near. This brings disrepute on our faith and gives great scandal to the faithful. These practices cannot be tolerated any further without displeasing the divine majesty. We therefore, with the sacred council's approval, strictly forbid such practices henceforth in Christian lands. We enjoin on catholic princes, one and all, who hold sovereignty over the said Saracens and in whose territory these practices occur, and we lay on them a pressing obligation under the divine judgment that, as true Catholics and zealous for the Christian faith, they give consideration to the disgrace heaped on both them and other Christians. They are to remove this offence altogether from their territories and take care that their subjects remove it, so that they may thereby attain the reward of eternal happiness. They are to forbid expressly the public invocation of the sacrilegious name of Mahomet. They shall also forbid anyone in their dominions to attempt in future the said pilgrimage or in any way give countenance to it. Those who presume to act otherwise are to be so chastised by the princes for their irreverence, that others may be deterred from such boldness."

Wake up Catholics, before its too late. 


In Christ,

What rights should human beings have in the United States?


Liberal Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted... 
...in response to Rep. Niraj Antani making fun of her "chambers of government" comment. 

Ocasio-Cortez is no doubt a liberal fruit cake who is and will be adored by the Left as long as she continues with her socialism platform. The Left wants the "right" to free birth control, abortion, gay marriage etc. 

I oppose this 100%. 

What I want to look at is our "rights" as United States citizens vs basic human rights. 

We are very blessed to have the rights we do, "freedom of speech", "freedom of religion" being (in my opinion) the most important. We also have the 2nd Amendment which gives us the freedom and right to own guns (which I support), we've (male, female, black/white) got the right to vote, and the right to trial by a jury of our peers, etc.  

These are all good things. 

But what about basic human rights? 

In a country as rich as the United States, should not every U.S. citizen have a "right" to the basics without socialism? Food, clean water, clothing, shelter and care when they are sick? 

Without becoming a nation of socialism, can't we figure out a way that every U.S. citizen can have an actual "right" to the basics? We are taxed to near death in this nation...how is that money spent? We need tax overhaul...but I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. 

In our wonderful enterprising rich capitalist nation, where the rich have the right to own as many homes as they want with closets the size gymnasiums full of clothes is there no way the poor can have the basics? 

The rich can rightfully afford luxuries because they have the money-earned or inherited. I don't begrudge them a dime. It's theirs to spend as they please. I don't advocate targeting them to take their money. 

I only question a nation so rich and prosperous as to be the envy of the world, that can't seem to figure out how to give our own poor citizens basic human rights. We give away so much to other nations while too often neglecting our own. 

Seems it shouldn't be that difficult for the United States of America to figure out how to better help our poor, but somehow we've been unable to do so. 

Instead of giving other nations $BILLIONS of our tax dollars for them to spend on their citizens betterment, how about we reinvest those $billions into our own citizens struggling with poverty? 

Why do we have to be the world police and piggy bank?

United States tax dollars in foreign aid...

$5.1 billion to Afghanistan 
$1.2 billion to Egypt 
$916 million to Syria
$780 million to Pakistan 
$474 million to Liberia 
$325 million to Columbia
$305 million to Yemen
$179 million to India
$155 million to Turkey
$127 million to Honduras
$117 million to Chad


Do these nations need some help? Sure, do they need all that money at the expense of the poor in the United States? I question that. 

Some say "food, shelter, water, healthcare and clothing" are not human rights for our government to grant its citizens. 



I see what Jesse Wien is saying, but I believe that way of viewing this situation is flawed. Perhaps we need to look at how we have defined a "right" for our citizens in this country. Perhaps we need to stop being the worlds police and piggy bank and put those funds to work in our nation for our poor so they can have a better life right here at home.  

I think we can do better without becoming socialist with a nanny government. There has to be a way...
Catholic Catechism: 2425 "The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modem times with "communism" or "socialism." She has likewise refused to accept, in the practice of "capitalism," individualism and the absolute primacy of the law of the marketplace over human labor. 207 Regulating the economy solely by centralized planning perverts the basis of social bonds; regulating it solely by the law of the marketplace fails social justice, for "there are many human needs which cannot be satisfied by the market." 208 Reasonable regulation of the marketplace and economic initiatives, in keeping with a just hierarchy of values and a view to the common good, is to be commended."
To be clear, I don't want a socialized healthcare like the UK has where they allow patients like little Alfie to die and their courts refuse to allow him to leave the country to seek treatment elsewhere- this is heinous. 

The United States can and should do better. We need to figure this out. 



In Christ,

What the media isn't telling you about refugees and Muslims...


These are some news stories from around the globe of what countries can expect to happen in their own countries when radical Muslims are allowed to spread their demonic religion and when migrants refuse to respect the countries opening their doors to them. 

These stories are all from this year and they are not pretty. There are numerous stories of Muslim immigrants raping children, elderly women and even a dog in refugee camp. 

You're not going to hear these stories on CNN or MSNBC because they don't want you to know what is happening around the world with Muslim immigrants. Islam is destroying nations, one immigrant at a time. 


German teen girl needs surgery after being violently raped by a Syrian refugee in a cellar
A brutal rape of a German teen has shocked the city of Chemnitz. A Syrian refugee attacked and raped a 15-year-old German girl in a cellar. The young girl was so badly injured that she needed surgery, tabloid Bild reports.
*****

Dog brutally raped in Greece's largest refugee camp.

*****
Syrian refugee commits 400 crimes since he arrived in Germany in 2015
“His deportation depends on the immigration authorities,” says a spokesperson of the tribunal."
*****

The North African migrant raped the woman in her apartment in Kortrijk’s city centre. He put a knife to her throat and raped her on the kitchen table while her partner was working in their copy centre nearby.
*****
9-year-old migrant boy threatens Austrian children with knife: “My job is to kill people”
"The Turkish boy, who is only nine years old, threatened other school children with a knife and said that it is his job to kill people and god had commanded him to do so."
*****

Christian celebrations in German town cancelled because armed guards and trucks to block streets were needed
Corpus Christi celebrations were cancelled in the German town of Bergkamen due to high security requirements, local newspaper WA reports.
*****
More than 100 German citizens fall victim to migrant crimes every single day 
"According to the BKA study, 39,096 German victims of immigrant crime were registered in 2017, a new high. The number is 23.7 percent higher than in the previous year (31,597).
This means that every single day around 107 German citizens were and will become victims of crimes with at least one
 migrant as a suspect, and the trend is rising.
Particularly shocking is that more than one hundred Germans were the victims of an attempted or actual murder by immigrants in 2017.
“On the crimes of murder, manslaughter and hired killings, 112 Germans fell victim to a criminal offence where at least one suspect involved was an immigrant. Thirteen victims were killed, the statistics show.”
The BKA report also warns that many terrorists have been smuggled in amongst the refugees; and that there is a danger that refugees will be radicalised in Europe by terrorist organisations for the “holy war”.

*****
Macron is losing control over Islam-dominated no-go areas in France, asks public for help
"France’s President Emmanuel Macron admitted that France has lost the battle against drug trafficking within the growing number of no-go zones in the country."
"In a speech for 600 business and political guests in May, Macron called on the local mayors themselves – together with the population – to find suitable solutions, for the problems in France’s 1,500 no-go areas or ‘sensitive areas’ as France calls them.
Many mayors were struck by Macron’s speech. They had expected co
ncrete political guidelines. Macron’s proposals are a long way from the ambitious strategy for the sensitive zones that former minister Jean-Louis Borloo had previously developed and published on behalf of Macron.
Instead, Macron passed the buck: not he, but his predecessors have caused today’s problems. All solutions designed from above have failed, so they must come from below. He called for a “general mobilisation” of the population, organising itself to save the nation."
*****
90-year-old German woman sexually assaulted by asylum seeker in her bed

*****

87-year-old French woman raped for 2 hours by illegal migrant

"An 87-year-old woman was robbed and raped by a migrant in her apartment in Lyon, French news outlet Lyonmag reports.
The woman, who is living in the 9th district of Lyon, woke up in the night of 22 April. She was then raped for 2 hours and robbed of a ring, by a Moroccan migrant.

Police say the man was previously arrested for violent robberies but he was released every time after numerous arrests."

*****

"Iraqi murderer of German teen girl bragged: Everything is for free here, no working and a salary from the state" 
"Ali B. came to Germany from Iraq in October 2015 with his parents and seven siblings. Their applications for asylum were officially justified by the family as saying that the children in their homeland could possibly be recruited by armed Kurdish PKK fighters for armed conflict.
The now arrested Ali B. confessed to have killed 14-year-old Susanna F. from Mainz in May this year. He was arrested after he and his family fled under a false name to Iraq after the murder."

*****
"At an elementary school in Linz, Catholic children have to memorise and recite Islamic songs as part of the Islamic Ramadan festival. They were forced to take part and were punished if they refused."
  
***** 

Violent incidents at schools in Austria’s capital increase by 1200% 
"Research shows that 33 per cent of Vienna’s inhabitants have a migrant background, a number that will increase to more than 40 per cent within 20 years.
A week ago we’ve reported on how the growing influence of Islam is leading to an increasing number of problems at Vienna’s schools."

*****

Illegal migrant rapes mentally disabled teen for days attempting to make her pregnant 
"The 30-year-old “Karim” tried to impregnate the 19-year-old girl by raping her for several days in a squatted building in Liège. Experts say she has the mental capabilities of a seven or eight year old.
Six years ago the illegal was deported from Belgium, but returned and met the woman in 2014. He took her to the desolated building and raped her numerous times."


*****

Muslim grooming gang of girls as young as 13, with hundreds of episodes of sexual abuse, jailed in Oxford, UK 
“It is clear that there were hundreds of episodes of sexual abuse. The impact on the victims of these offences has been shattering. It must be remembered that each of you in your own way played a part in destroying the lives of these young women.”
*****
She added that “There will be 20 Islamic terrorists who will leave prison this year and 30 next year”. 
France, being the host of the biggest muslim community in Europe, has already suffered the deaths of 245 French nationals from Islamic terrorism.
Yet, astonishingly, the French government is not taking the appropriate measures to protect the French people from further attacks.
*****
Flemish politician: We are being replaced, but we will resist against the hostile takeover of Islam 
“In several Belgian cities like Brussels and Antwerp, Muslims have created territorial Islamic enclaves. In those enclaves the large majority of the population are Muslims: women wear a headscarf or a hijab, shops only sell halal and everybody speaks Arabic. In fact it concerns a hostile Islamic takeover.”
*****
Almost 1,400 minor girls abused by mostly migrant pimps in the Netherlands
"An investigation by Dutch newspaper “Algemeen Dagblad” exposes the horrible reality behind the world of young pimps or ‘loverboys’. Young men, who are mostly from migrant backgrounds, blackmail and abuse hundreds of minor girls in the Netherlands every single year."
*****
Quote from St. Juan de Ribera (d.1611), Archbishop of Valencia : 
“As we have seen, Muhammed had neither supernatural miracles nor natural motives of reason to persuade those of his sect. As he lacked in everything, he took to bestial and barbaric means, which is the force of arms. Thus he introduced and promulgated his message with robberies, murders, and bloodshedding, destroying those who did not want to receive it, and with the same means his ministers conserve this today, until God placates his anger and destroys this pestilence from the earth.
[…]
(Muhammad) can also be figured for the dragon in the same Apocalypse which says that the dragon swept up a third of the stars and hurled down a third to earth. Although this line is more appropriately understood concerning the Antichrist, Mohammed was his precursor – the prophet of Satan, father of the sons of haughtiness.
[…]
Even if all the things contained in his law were fables in philosophy and errors in theology, even for those who do not possess the light of reason, the very manners (Islam) teaches are from a school of vicious bestialities. (Muhammad) did not prove his new sect with any motive, having neither supernatural miracles nor natural reasons, but solely the force of arms, violence, fictions, lies, and carnal license. It remains an impious, blasphemous, vicious cult, an innovention of the devil, and the direct way into the fires of hell. It does not even merit the name of being called a religion.”
     -St. Juan de Ribera (d.1611), Archbishop of Valencia, missionary to Spanish Muslims, and organizer of the Muslim expulsions of 1609 from Spain. Quoted in several locations from his 1599 Catechismo para la Instruccion de los Nuevos Convertidos de los Moros (my translation).[Source: https://onepeterfive.com/what-did-the-saints-say-about-islam/]

What is the United States trying to say to Pakistan?

'Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”  When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, “Then who can be saved?” Matthew 19:23-25 (NRSVCE)

The United States Government has decided this is the message it wants to send to the people of Pakistan (who on average make less than $2,000.00 a year) in the form of ‘art’.  It's a giant white camel staring at the eye of a giant needle.  Christians who know their Bibles will instantly recall Jesus' words about the rich and the eye of a needle. 

What will the people of Pakistan think?

What does this message say coming from the United States Government?

“Rich Americans are going to Hell, but you all should be fine!” ??

I personally, don't see the point in this particular 'art' being placed outside a U.S. Embassy.  Is there a point the government is trying to make here? Is it because of the camel?  Is the United States now deciding to send Biblical messages through art? 

I am all for spreading Scriptural messages, I just get worried when I see the United States government take a stab at it.  

At any rate, this message in art will cost U.S. tax payers $400,000 and will be displayed outside the new United States Embassy in Pakistan.

What do you all think?  Let me hear it.
