COURAGEOUS Catholic School teacher under fire for trying to teach students the truth about Islam


The Catholic diocese of Orlando, Florida, says it has (ignorantly) reprimanded a teacher at a Catholic school in the state for giving his sixth-grade religion class a reading assignment that called Islam ‘immoral and corrupting’ and also called the Prophet Muhammad a “villain” and an “ignoramus.”

Huffington Post  Mark Smythe, a religion and social studies teacher at Blessed Trinity Catholic School in Ocala, gave students printouts of a 19th-century Catholic text that refers to Islam as a “monstrous mixture” of faiths. It also calls the doctrines of the Prophet Muhammad “ridiculous, immoral and corrupting.”

“We have spoken to the principal of Blessed Trinity Catholic School, Ocala and to the teacher in question and have reprimanded the teacher for this unfortunate exhibit of disrespect,” Jacquelyn Flanigan, an associate superintendent at the Diocese of Orlando’s Catholic school system, said in a statement.  

Flanigan didn’t elaborate on what she meant by “reprimanded.” Smythe did not respond to a request for comment. A leftist Muslim-sympathizing mother with a child in Smythe’s class gave copies of the reading assignment to a friend, who then sent the copies to The Huffington Post through the Documenting Hate project. 

“[The mother] shared this with me while she could not stop crying,” the friend wrote. (Oh, please, why isn’t she crying for all the Christians being murdered by Muslims all over the world?)

The reading assignment appears to be an excerpt from an 1853 text about Islam by priest Giovanni Bosco, who later became a saint.

In the imagined dialogue between a father and his sons, the father explains how Jesus Christ is superior to the Prophet Muhammad, who “degrades and dishonors human nature and by placing all happiness in sensual pleasures, reduces man to the level of filthy animals.” 

Elsewhere in the text, Muhammad is described as a “charlatan,” “villain,” “ignoramus,” “imposter” and “false prophet” who “couldn’t even write” and “propagated his religion, not through miracles or persuasive words, but by military force.” 

The Quran, the holy book of Islam, is also called “a series of errors, the most enormous ones being against morality and the worship of the true God.” 

An internet search for Bosco’s take on Islam shows it is primarily referenced on fringe conservative Catholic sites and in the comment sections of anti-Muslim hate sites. (Hopefully from BNI)

We are witnessing the rebirth of the Ottoman Empire with Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the self-appointed head of the new Islamic Caliphate


On the bright side, Turkey will never become a member of the European Union. But even worse, at the rate Europe is allowing its culture to be destroyed by the Muslim migrant invasion, it could find itself being conquered by the new Islamic Caliphate.

Next time a Muslim boasts about all the scientific innovations Islam has contributed to the world…show them this

WHO KNEW? The prophet Mohammed discovered a cure for cancer


Following a Moroccan TV report on the drinking of camel urine as a cure for cancer, Moroccan oncologists have slammed the claim, saying that camel urine is not fit for human consumption. Apparently, that hasn’t stopped millions of Arab Muslims from drinking the potion for its supposed health benefits.

Reuters Initial scientific studies have linked MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) to camels, but disease experts say it is not at all clear how the infection passes from the animals. Many people infected in the community and in hospitals report no contact with camels, they note. MERS causes coughing, fever and breathing problems, and can lead to pneumonia and kidney failure, and even death.

While many of these people may not have access to camels, there is an abundance of Camel-based products on the market, not the least of which is camel urine for human consumption.

There are even conferences on the “wonders and secrets of healing from camel urine,” that “camel urine is the miracle of our time and is a gift from Muhammad to mankind.”

Fatin Khorshid, of the King Fahd Medical Research Center sees it as the ultimate solution to “all sorts of ailments” like “cancer,” “digestive tract,” “diarrhea,” “sexual dysfunction,” “liver disease,” “skin ulcers,” “cosmetics,” etc.

FRANCE: Islamic terrorist who killed a policeman and wounded 3 others in Paris is just the latest in a series of Muslim attacks against police and military personnel


The Islamic State claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attack, which killed an officer and injured another. The terror group has previously urged its French supporters to attack police and soldiers as they consider them representatives of the state.

ISIS killer French Muslim Rachid Kassim, pictured holding knife, thought to be orchestrating attacks in France has scolded male jihadists for not carrying out enough atrocities after an all-women terror cell was crushed by police. Kassim who has appeared in ISIS beheading videos, is a ‘key instigator’ directing hundreds of recruits using encrypted messaging apps

Daily Caller  The fatal shooting follows two failed attacks against soldiers this year. A machete-wielding man shouted “Allahu akbar” before attacking a soldier Feb. 3 at the Louvre museum in Paris. Another soldier opened fire against the attacker before the situation escalated.

Other attacks in recent years have had a deadly outcome. Larossi Abballa pledged allegiance to the ISIS after stabbing a policeman to death June 14, 2016 in the small town of Magnanville.

French Muslim Larossi Abballa knifed two police officials at their home in the Paris suburb of Magnanville, leaving behind not only a video that he had streamed on Facebook Live but a hit list of politicians, journalists and public personalities. That list is believed to have been drawn up by Kassim ahead of time

AUSTRALIA: Baptist Minister says, “Don’t be afraid of being called Islamophobic”


Baptist reverend George Capsis, born in Egypt, says Australia needs to deport Muslim extremists and stop taking in fundamentalist Muslims, saying the large-scale migration of hardline Islamofascists from the Middle East was a threat to Australian democracy.

UK Daily Mail  ‘We can’t have open slather like we used to. We’ve got to be more discerning,’ he told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday. ‘We mustn’t be afraid to be called Islamophobic. We’ve got to be more careful in our immigration policy. If we do not protect the freedoms we have in this country, they’ll be eroded.’

Mr Capsis, a minister at Croydon in Sydney’s inner west, said Islamic migrant preachers were radicalizing the children of migrants and needed to be deported, echoing a call from Adelaide imam Sheikh Mohammad Tawhidi. ‘We probably should deport some people who preach hate,” he said.

His call comes only weeks after Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Uthman Badar, who was born in Pakistan, told a forum at Bankstown library, in south-west Sydney, that ex-Muslims deserved capital punishment. This same Islamic group, which wants a Muslim caliphate based on sharia law, also produced a video last week justifying domestic violence.

Sydney’s west is home to the hardline Sunni Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah Association, whose preachers have described as sinful attending non-Muslim events, having non-Muslim friends and even using a public urinal.

Mr Capsis, the 70-year-old son of Greek Orthodox parents who moved to Australia at age four from Egypt, said Islamic fundamentalism had never been a success. ‘Unlike Christianity, which has brought prosperity and civilization wherever it is established such as the U.S., the United Kingdom Australia, Islamic fundamentalism takes communities back to the dark ages,’ he said.

‘The evidence is pretty clear: the red flag is waving in our faces,’ Mr Capsis said. ‘Islam is now more culturally political than religious.’

A tipping point with radical Islamism had been reached in Australia, he said, with many people determined not to follow examples set in Europe. ‘The tide has turned. We’re going to see more Christian leaders come out and make a stand,’ he said. ‘We’ve got to protect ourselves. Australian society is not going to tolerate this anymore.’ 



Paris got another taste of Islam’s ‘peaceful’ cultural enrichment

Days before the first round of voting in the French presidential election, the people of Paris got another taste of Islam’s ‘peaceful’ cultural enrichment. Let’s see if they vote for more of that ‘new normal’ which falls off the front pages in a day or two. Or survival.

YET ANOTHER MUSLIM doctor and his wife arrested in Michigan for performing Female Genital Mutilation on young girls


Doctor Fakhruddin Attar and wife Farida were arrested Friday near Detroit for conspiring to commit and aiding in female genital mutilation [FGM] of girls as young as six-years-old.  Mrs. Attar even held the hands of the girls screaming in pain.

The Attars allegedly allowed the procedure to be carried in their Livonia medical clinic. According to the criminal complaint from the Department of Justice, the couple conspired with Detroit emergency room doctor Jumana Nagarwala. Nagarwale was arrested last week for performing the procedure on a number of girls.

“This investigation has identified other children who may have been cut by Nagarwala at Attar’s clinic, MBC, between 2005 and 2017, including children in Michigan.

On April 10, 2017, child forensic interviews employed by the FBI and HSI interviewed several minor girls in Michigan. In these interviews, multiple minor girls informed forensic interviewers that procedures had been performed on their genitals by Nagarwala. One minor girl said that Farida was present during the procedure performed by Nagarwala,” the complaint states. 

Parents of the victims were also interviewed by the FBI and two admitted Nagarwala had performed the procedures on their daughters at the clinic. The others denied any knowledge of the practice, but according to wiretapped conversations between Nagarwala and Mrs. Attar, Nagarwala advised parents to deny knowing about FGM should they be asked by federal law enforcement authorities.

The victims were driven by their parents across state lines for the extreme procedure, many coming from Minnesota. They will likely face a number of charges. The minors were told they were being taken on a “girls trip.” Once they arrived at the hotel, they were told they needed to go Nagarwala for a “stomach ache” and FGM was performed to “get the germs out.”

During her court appearance earlier this week, Dr. Nagarwala’s attorneys denied FGM is mutilation and said the procedure is a basic religious practice.

This conspiracy is the first reported FGM case in the United States. No doubt there have been tens of thousands of illegal acts of female genital cutting in the U.S., but usually they are not performed by doctors but by a kind of midwife, who performs the vast majority of them on Muslim girls around the world.

An estimated 130 million young girls have undergone sexual mutilation, mostly in Muslim countries, but now, apparently in Great Britain, Europe, and the USA.

KAMA YESU NI MUNGU, MBONA ALILALA, JE MUNGU ANALALA?






Swali hili la msingi ndilo litakalotufikisha mwisho wa uchambuzi wa mada hii juu ya Maarifa kuhusu Utatu na Uungu wa Bwana Yesu. Na hapa hoja ya msingi inatokana na tukio la Yesu kusafiri na wanafunzi wake naye akiwa amelala katika Shetri hivyo wanafunzi wake baada ya kupata taharuki ya kubwa ya dhoruba wakaanza kumwamsha ili awape msaada katika kadhia hiyo kama tunavyosoma:-
Marko 4:37-38
Ikatokea dhoruba kuu ya upepo, mawimbi yakakipiga chombo hata kikaanza kujaa maji.
38 Naye mwenyewe alikuwapo katika shetri, amelala juu ya mto; wakamwamsha, wakamwambia, Mwalimu, si kitu kwako kuwa tunaangamia?
Tendo hilo la kulala kwa Bwana Yesu linalosimuliwa hapo ndilo linalozalisha hoja hiyo ambapo waulizaji wa swali hilo hukaza hoja yao kwa kusoma pia andiko la kitabu cha Zaburi hii ifuatayo:-
Zaburi 121:4-5 Naam, hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi, Yeye aliye mlinzi wa Israeli.
Andiko hilo la Zaburi linaeleza kuwa Mungu aliye mlinzi wa Israel hatosinzia wala kulala, hivyo wajengaji wa hoja hii hudai kuwa tendo la Yesu kulala kama yeye ni Mungu basi ni hatua ya kukana Uungu wake.
Jibu la msingi la swali hili’
kimsingi hili ni moja kati ya maswali rahisi sana katika hoja hii juu ya Utatu na Uungu wa Bwana Yesu, lakini kile kinachoonekana kuwa ni mapungufu kidogo kwa waulizaji wa swali hili ni kutochukua hatua ya usomaji linganishi wa maandiko na kupitia aya nyingi zaidi ili kutafuta mantiki ya kisa hiki cha Yesu kulala na maelezo ya Zaburi yanayotamka kuwa Mungu halali.
Lakini kwa kujibu swali hili niseme tu kuwa andiko la Zaburi ya Daudi liko sahihi tu kuwa Mungu yeye kimsingi halali usingizi, lakini bado Zaburi hiyo hiyo inaeleza kile anchoweza kufanya Mungu katika dhana hiyo hiyo ya kulala hebu tusome tena andiko jingine la Zaburi ili kuanza hatua hii muhimu ya kupata ufumbuzi juu ya swali hili lenye utata:-
Tusome pamoja katika andiko hilo la Zaburi:-
Zaburi 78:65
Ndipo Bwana alipoamka kama aliyelala usingizi, Kama shujaa apigaye kelele sababu ya mvinyo;
Katika andiko hilo tena nabii Daudi aneleza kuwa kumbe Mungu anaweza kuwa ‘kama aliyelala’ kumbuka andiko la kwanza linasema Mungu halali usingizi ambapo kulala huku kunaonekana kuwa ni halisi, lakini hapa nabii Daudi anatumia neno ‘kama aliyelala usingizi’ neno linaloonyesha kuwa mlalaji hakuwa katika hali halisi ya ulalaji wa kutojitambua na kujiweza.
Hivyo baada ya kupata ufafanuzi huo tunaweza kufanya jumuisho la hoja hii kwa kusema kuwa’ aina ile ya ulalaji wa Yesu inaonekana kulingana na hii ya pili ya kama aliyelala’ maana kwa hali halisi utaona kuwa hapo Yesu alikuwa tu akipima imani ya wanafunzi wake kwa tukio hilo kama ambavyo maandiko ya Isaya yanavyosema juu ya mfumo wa utendaji wa Mungu ambapo wakati Fulani kwa makusudi tu Mungu huweza kuwaacha watu wake kwa muda ili kuwapima:-
Isaya 54:7 Kwa kitambo kidogo nimekuacha; lakini kwa rehema nyingi nitakukusanya.
Kwahiyo Mungu anaweza kwa muda fulani kuwageuzia kisogo watu wake ili kuona imani yao itaelekea wapi, na kwa hali halisi utaona kuwa hilo ndilo ambalo Bwana Yesu alilifanya katika tukio hilo akiwa na wanafunzi wake kwakuwa mara baada ya kuona kuwa imani ya wanafunzi wake imejielekeza kwake ndipo maandiko yanasema:-
Marko 4:39-41
Akaamka, akaukemea upepo, akaiambia bahari, Nyamaza, utulie. Upepo ukakoma, kukawa shwari kuu.40 Akawaambia, Mbona mmekuwa waoga? Hamna imani bado?
41 Wakaingiwa na hofu kuu, wakaambiana, Ni nani huyu, basi, hata upepo na bahari humtii?
Hivyo ndivyo Yesu alivyohitimisha tukio hilo kwa kitendo hicho cha kukemea upepo na bahari mara baada ya kuridhika kuwa wanafunzi hao walikuwa na imani iliyoelekezwa kwake katika tukio hilo la dhoruba. Lakini jambo la msingi linalojitokeza hapo ni kuwa tendo hilo lenyewe la kutuliza hali ya Bahari bado pia ni kiashiria tosha cha mamlaka yake ya Uungu na pengine waulizaji wa swali hili wangekichunguza kisa hicho chote wangeona tu jinsi kisa chenyewe kinavyothibitisha zaidi Uungu wa Yesu na si badala yake kukanusha.
Rejea tamko la wanafunzi wake baada ya tukio hilo:-
Marko 4:41
Wakaingiwa na hofu kuu, wakaambiana, Ni nani huyu, basi, hata upepo na bahari humtii?
Hivyo hata wanafunzi wa Yesu wenyewe walionyesha kushtushwa na tukio hilo na hata kujiuliza swali juu ya nguvu na uwezo huo wa Yesu wakihoji ni nani huyu hata pepo na bahari vinamtii!, hoja ambayo inajibiwa wazi na Zaburi ya Daudi;-
Zaburi 89:8-9
Bwana, Mungu wa majeshi, Ni nani aliye hodari kama Wewe, Ee YAHU? Na uaminifu wako unakuzunguka. 9 Wewe ndiwe ukitawalaye kiburi cha bahari. Mawimbi yake yainukapo wayatuliza Wewe.
Nabii Daudi anaweka bayana kuwa ni Mungu pekee awezaye kutawala kiburi cha bahari na yakuwa mawimbi ya bahari yainukapo mwenye uwezo huo wa kuyatuliza ni Mungu pekee na kwahivyo tukio hilo la Yesu kutuliza bahari linaweka bayana kuwa Yesu ni Mungu.
Hitimisho
Matamko ya wazi juu ya Uungu wa Yesu
Nipende kwanza kukushukuru ndugu msomaji wangu kwa kufuatilia kwa makini uchambuzi wa mada hii , na pia nitoe wito kwako kuwa kadri ambavyo umepata bahati ya kujifunza ukweli huu umkubali na kumpokea Yesu awe Bwana na Mwokozi wa maisha yako kwakuwa uweza nguvu na mamlaka juu ya mbingu na dunia viko juu yake pekee.
Baada ya wito huo nipende sasa kumalizia mada hii kwa kukuwekea nukuu chache za Biiblia zinazohitimisha uchambuzi huu kwa kuonyesha wazi juu ya mamlaka hii tukufu ya Bwana Yesu:-
Tito 2:13
Tukilitazamia tumaini lenye baraka na mafunuo ya utukufu wa Kristo Yesu, Mungu mkuu na Mwokozi wetu;
Mtume Paulo katika andiko hilo la Tito anaweka wazi kabisa juu ya Uungu wa Yesu kama Tomaso na Bwana Yesu mwenyewe katika fungu hili jingine;-
Yohana 20:28-29
Tomaso akajibu, akamwambia, Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu! 29 Yesu akamwambia, Wewe, kwa kuwa umeniona, umesadiki; wa heri wale wasioona, wakasadiki.
Mungu akubariki unapotafakari ukweli huu na kuchukua hatua.
Shalom,
