Islamic Jihad threatens Israel with 'the fires of hell' 18 hours ago
KHAN YUNES, Gaza Strip (AFP) — The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad on Saturday threatened to
unleash "the fires of hell" on Israel, as it staged a military parade in the south of the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip.
"We will unleash the fires of hell if the Zionist enemy continues its crimes," said the group's military chief
Abu Hamzeh after the parade by around 800 Islamic Jihad members, an AFP journalist reported.
"We're getting ready for the next round," he added, saying "the Zionist enemy will have neither peace nor
security while it occupies our land."

The government approved Sunday a motion calling for the establishment of
a biometric database by the
Ministry of Interior and the Public Security Ministry.
The motion, dubbed the "identification card, travel papers and
biometrics database bill," will now be referred
back to the various Knesset committees, which would ready it for its Knesset votes.
The new bill called for embedding biometric data, such as fingerprints
and computerized tags of facial features,

First World Noahide Conference Begins (in Florida)
The penalty for breaches of “noahide law” is death, usually by beheading; worship of Jesus Christ is considered to be blasphemy, and
in breach of the noahide laws. (This is brief, and not intended to take into account all views on how the laws might or might not be
enforced or interpreted in all circumstances)

YOUNG Australian woman says she is ready to join the army of Islam in a violent jihad with a
declaration of war on YouTube.
Federal authorities are now investigating the video posting, in which she claims to be backed
by firebrand cleric Sheik Haron.
The video shows a woman with her face covered addressing the camera with
a distinctive
Australian accent as she declares her backing of the controversial cleric.
“I can’t wait until we go to war on oppression,” the young woman says.
“I invite you to join the Army of Islam.”

Iran (aka Persia) continues to move towards its destruction in accordance with Ezekiel 38 & 39:

Iranian president wants to set stage for appearance of Shiite messiah
Jonathan Halevi and Ashley Perry
Published: 06.17.08, 00:43 / Israel Opinion
Shiite Iran is striving to attain the position of regional superpower en route to becoming a significant nuclear
power on the international stage. Iran openly challenges the West in its attempt to eject the Americans and
British from Iraq and attain hegemony in the Persian Gulf region, supported among other, by its military
program, massively built up in recent years. The Iranian leadership talks of a “New Middle East” in response
to the West, which would be an Islamic Middle East in the mold of the Iranian inspired Islamic revolution.
Iran's political aspirations are driven by a deep religious zeal. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeatedly
pledges "the imminent and evident liquidation of Israel," as a code word for the messianic fervor he shares
with his spiritual mentor, Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, one of the more radical ayatollahs,
who subscribes to diplomatic and military activism to advance the global Islamic revolution spearheaded by Iran.

to the world as he opened a conference of Muslim figures Wednesday, aimed at launching an interfaith dialogue with
Christianity and Islam.
The three-day gathering in the holy city of Mecca seeks a unified Muslim voice ahead of the interfaith dialogue.
In particular, Saudi Arabia hopes to promote reconciliation between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.

Identifying "Tension Hotspots" in the UK
Town Halls should map race and religion to identify 'tension hotspots', says Hazel Blears
By STEVE DOUGHTY - Last updated at 17:52pm on 12th May 2008
More than 10 million people are to have their everyday disputes, their
politics and their business lives
checked by new "tension monitoring" committees.
The committees are to be set up to try to cut the risk of riots or disturbances in the aftermath of terrorist
outrages or outbreaks of local racial trouble.
They will ask for and file reports on named troublemakers whose political activities are considered to be
raising community tensions.
Reports on the behaviour and attitudes of local residents will be collected by community workers,
neighbourhood wardens, local councillors and provided by voluntary organisations, according to a
paper published by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears today.
It will then be considered by the monitoring committees run by town halls.

Iran - Closer to Ezekiel 38/39
More insane Iranian threats to eliminate Israel:
=========================================================================================
Iran Army to Crush Israel If Attacked
TEHRAN, April 15--Iran would "eliminate Israel from the global arena" if
it dares to conduct any aggression against the
Islamic Republic, deputy commander of the army Mohammad Reza Ashtiani warned Tuesday.
Ashtiani was speaking ahead of Iran's national army day on Thursday when a major military parade is expected in Tehran.
His comments come a week after the Israeli regime's infrastructure minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer again threatened Iran with
military attack.
General Ashtiani told a news conference that the Islamic Republic of Iran is by no means worried by the Israeli regime's military
moves.
"We are not worried by Israeli maneuvers, but if Israel takes such action against the Islamic Republic of Iran, we will eliminate
it from the global arena," he said.

U.S. Muslims and Mormons share deepening ties
The connection is based not on theology but on shared values and a sense of isolation from mainstream America.
By David Haldane, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
April 2, 2008
The Mormon Church has to be among the most outgoing on earth; in recent years its leaders have reached out to,
among others, Latinos, Koreans, Catholics and Jews.
One of the most enthusiastic responses, however, has come from what some might consider a surprising source:
U.S. Muslims.
"We are very aware of the history of Mormons as a group that was chastised in America," says Maher Hathout,
a senior advisor to the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Los Angeles. "They can be a good model for any group
that feels alienated."

WASHINGTON, March 26: The United States on Wednesday welcomed Saudi King

“The dialogue is always encouraging,” said Sada Cumber, special US envoy to the Organisation of Islamic conference.
“We will attend the meeting.”
The Saudi king made an impassioned plea for dialogue among the followers of the three faiths in Riyadh on Monday and offered to
call a meeting of their representatives in the kingdom.
The call – the first of its kind by an Arab leader – has generated much interest in such a dialogue and representatives of all three
faiths have welcomed the idea.
The specifics of the proposed meeting are still being worked out.

Saudi Shura council rejects proposal to ban religious offence
Here’s an interesting twist on the OIC push to penalize blasphemy & insulting false
prophet Mo etc … the Saudi Shura (consultative council) has not backed the move,
as it would give legitimacy to “pagan” religions, which the Shura doesn’t recognise.
As I’ve said, be careful what [Muslims] wish for … the head they lose may be their own,
and other Bad Wolves are on the prowl, even if they don’t get the attention that Mo’s
followers attract.
===================================================================
Saudi Shura council rejects proposal to ban religious offence
18.03.08 15:52
The Saudi Shura council rejected an international recommendation to
criminalize offences against
all religions, stressing that the suggestion would imply the government’s recognition of what it
considered as pagan religions, media reports said Tuesday.
Some 77 of the 150 members of the Shura or consultative council, which has limited legislative rights,
opposed the recommendation, while only 33 supported it.
The proposal states that the "Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with the Arab Islamic group of
the United Nations will adopt an international recommendation that prohibits offence of all religions
and religious figures by all means."
Talal Bakry, a Shura council member, opposed the move, saying that the recommendation means a
full recognition of "the pagan religions" and thus will allow the establishment of non-monotheistic
worship places in Muslim countries.
"This recommendation is a trap for the Muslim community, which can
result in negative consequences
on Muslims above all the others," Khalil al-Khalil, an opponent member, was quoted as saying in al-Watan
Saudi newspaper.

OIC mulls legal steps against insults
Islam is reaping what it sows; its followers don't like the taste of the bitter fruits of jihad and hatred and
blasphemy against God and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, who Muslims specifically and blasphemously
reject as being the son of God. Soon, Islam will be no more, and no great loss.
==================================================================================
OIC mulls legal steps against insults
DAKAR, March 15: The Muslim world has created a plan to defend its religion from political cartoonists and bigots.
Concerned about what they saw as a rise in the defamation of Islam, leaders of the world’s Muslim nations meeting
at a summit in Senegal considered formulating legal measures against those who insulted their religion or its sacred
symbols. It was a key issue during the two-day summit that ended on Friday.
The plan represents an attempt to demand redress from nations like
Denmark, which allowed the publication of
blasphemous images, an incident that infuriated the Muslim world. However, the type of legal action it could take
is not fully spelled out.
[...]
The report concludes that Islam is under attack and that a
defence must be mounted.
To protect the faith, Muslim nations have already created an ‘observatory’ that meets regularly to monitor
“Islamophobia”. It examines lectures and workshops taking place around the world and prints a monthly record
of offensive content.
The report presented on Friday urges the creation of a “legal instrument” to crack down on defamation of Islam,
but it is unclear what kind of legal action could be taken. Some delegates point to laws in Europe criminalising the
denial of the Holocaust and other anti-Semitic rhetoric. They also point to articles within various UN charters that
condemn discrimination based on religion and argue that these should be made stronger.
Hemayet Uddin, the lead author of the report and the director-general of the OIC culture and social affairs committee,
said some form of legal action is needed because “this Islamophobia that we see in the world has gone far beyond a phobia.
It is now at the level of hatred, of xenophobia and we need to act.”
The delegates, he said, were unanimous in the need for this. A new charter drafted by the OIC commits the Muslim
body “to protect and defend the true image of Islam” and “to combat the defamation of Islam.”

Islam: How To Go To Hell Forever
Muslim nations are seeking legal sanctions against those who "defame" Islam, but Islam is founded
on blasphemy against Jesus Christ, and deliberately and specifically rejects God's free gift of
salvation and eternal life through the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
There may not be legal consequences for such blasphemy, however, there
are eternal
consequences. To follow the "Way to Islam" presented on the Al-Sunnah web site is
to blaspheme against Jesus Christ the Son, and God the Father who sent him to save
us from our sins ...

How Islam will dominate the world
Islam intends to dominate the world, and most likely by force, despite all the fawning about Islam
being a "religion of peace" by George W Bush and others leading the West into dhimmitude. God,
however, has a plan to deal with a number of largely Islamic nations, as revealed through His true
prophets (not the false prophet Mohammed), such as Ezekiel.
===================================================================================
How Islam will dominate the world
March 10, 2008
Allah (swt) says in the Qur’aan:
“It is he (Allah) who has sent his Messenger (saw) with guidance and the religion of truth, in order for it to be dominant
over all other religions, even though the Mushrikoon (disbelievers) hate it.” (EMQ at-Tawbah, 9: 33)
And the messenger Muhammad (saw) said:
“Verily Allah has shown me the eastern and western part of the earth, and I saw the authority of my Ummah (nation)
dominate all that I saw.” (Saheeh Muslim, hadeeth #2889)
As Allah (swt) has said; this religion (i.e. Islam) is the only religion
of truth; and the reason why he has sent us this deen
is “in order for it to be dominant over all other religions.” Thus, Allah (swt) never sent us this deen as a mere spiritual belief.
This deen has been sent to us by Almighty Allah (swt) in order for it to be implemented and for the whole of mankind to abide by it.
The only one who would hate for Islam to dominate the world is the Kaafir Mushrik (non-Muslim), as Allah (swt) said, “…even
though the Mushrikoon (disbelievers) hate it.” Consequently, any “Muslim” who dislikes for the Sharee’ah to be implemented
(out of being afraid to be labelled “extremist” for example) has committed a negation of Eemaan, and thus left the fold of Islam
for hating what Allah (swt) has revealed.
Why would the disbelievers and hypocrites hate for Islam to be implemented? Simply because they do not wish for their
corruption, evil, crime, cheating, oppression, dishonesty, fraud, lies, tyranny, freedom, and deception to come to an end,
and for justice (Islam) to prevail.
However, this worldwide domination of Islam which has been promised by Allah (swt) does not necessarily mean that
every single person on earth will become Muslim. When we say that Islam will dominate the world, we mean as a political
system, as the messenger Muhammad (saw) prophesised that the authority on earth will belong to the Muslims, i.e. the
believers will be in power and the Sharee’ah of Islam will be implemented in every corner of the earth.
So how will Islam dominate the world when the majority of people will never accept it?
Indeed, the majority of people on earth will always detest Islam and choose not to live by the Sharee’ah. Allah (swt) says:
“And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly.” (EMQ Yoosuf, 12: 103)
Therefore there are three main ways in which a state or country can become Daar ul-Islam (the domain of Islam):
1. The majority of its citizens embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah on their own accord
2. A group of Muslims rise, overthrow the government and implement the Sharee’ah by force (coup)
3. The Islamic state carries out Jihaad as its foreign policy and removes the government
If the Muslims are unable to convince their people (e.g. through peaceful da’wah) to embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah,
it then becomes an obligation upon them to make hijrah and unite (build their own community and execute the Sharee’ah over
themselves) and then rise against the government by force at a later date, regardless of whether they are the majority or the minority.
Allah (swt) says:
["Allah's" ravings snipped]
“And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (kufr and shirk) and worship (obedience, submission etc.) is for none but Allah…”
(EMQ al-Baqarah, 2: 193)
One of the greatest forms of kufr and shirk today is the implementation of man-made law; therefore, since man-made law is a
form of shirk, one of the only ways of eradicating it from the face of this earth is by Jihaad (fighting). In fact, it is an obligation
upon us to fight against the fitnah (kufr and shirk, such as man-made law) until it ceases to exist. Islam has always been spread
by the sword, and it will continue to do so.

EPIC Seeks Documents On Limiting the Accountability of Fusion Centers
EPIC Seeks Documents On Limiting the Accountability of Fusion Centers
========================================================================
On February 12, 2008, EPIC filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request with the Virginia State Police. EPIC's request seeks documents
about a plan that would shroud the Virginia Fusion Center, a database
that collects detailed information on ordinary citizens, in secrecy. The
Virginia legislature is considering a bill that would limit Virginia's
open government and privacy statutes, as well as Virginia's common law
right of privacy, for Virginia agencies connected to the Fusion Center.
Fusion centers are a means of bringing together information from
distributed sources for the purpose of collection, retention, analysis,
and dissemination. The Virginia Fusion Center was established in 2005
and is one of several similar entities established by state governments
throughout the United States.
Federal guidelines state that the Fusion Center should accumulate and
retain information from a wide range of public and private sources.
Such information includes, but is not limited to: financial records;
credit reports; medical records; internet and email data; video
surveillance from retail stores and sporting facilities; data from
preschools; and welfare records. Press groups have criticized the
proposed law, and warned that, if passed, Virginia citizens can "say
hello to Big Brother."
The Virginia Fusion Center's operations involve contact with federal
agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the
U.S. Department of Justice, as well as other federal programs, including
the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan and the Criminal
Intelligence Coordinating Council. The federal government has spent at
least $380 million to support the state Fusion Centers and other similar
entities. EPIC's FOIA request focuses on the possible role of the US
Department of Justice and the US Department of Homeland Security in the
development of the Virginia legislation.

Labor swift to dump Access Card
Labor swift to dump Access Card
Karen Dearne | December 07, 2007
THE Labor Government has moved quickly to scrap the Howard administration's controversial $1.1 billion
Human Services identity card.
The federal Government has shut down the Office of the Access Card and closed its website, honouring its
election promise to scrap the controversial program.
The $1.1 billion project - intended to provide every Australian with a unique health and welfare number and
biometric photo on a smartcard - opened a year ago, with two key tenders attracting strong bids from IT
and card supply companies keen to secure a role.
The project has languished since mid-year, after an all-party Senate committee rejected the draft enabling
legislation as wholly inadequate and lacking in protections against the card's use as a de facto identity card.
