At AllFaith.com I share numerous studies into the world's religions based on my personal quest for Truth. Over the years this research has led me to embrace Judaism. That is now the main focus of the domain.
On my blogs I share many of these studies and invite your questions and comments.

Note: The author of this piece is a so-called Moderate, Secular Muslim. Such people are not actually Muslims according to al Qu'ran, al Hadith, al Sunna, nor the vast majority of Muslim imams and pundits today nor in the past. "Islam" means Submission and only those completely "submitted" to the barbaric tenants of Islam are truly Muslim. So called "moderate Muslims" are always either "non-practicing" (in which case they are no longer Muslims) or they are practicing taquiyya (Sharia justifiable deception) intended to lull the populace for the planned takeover. American Muslims fall into both categories.
Also note that much of the author's rejection of al Ikhwan's covert participation in the overthrow of the various Mideastern countries now falling is incorrect and reveals the author's lack of understanding of the current and intended operations of al Ikhwan. Al Ikhwan, including the al Ikhwan covert operative Hussein Obama, are moving fast to take over the world.
Nonetheless... this piece is an eye-opener.
Excerpt: Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the Obama administration is open to dialogue with the once-banned Muslim Brotherhood.
The United States administration's recent decision to establish contacts with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood organization is a severe blow to moderate, secular Muslims who are trying to achieve democracy and prosperity in their countries.
The U.S. announcement will only undermine the so-called "Facebook Uprising" that has been sweeping the Arab and Muslim world in the past few months.
This is an uprising spearheaded by secular Muslims who have, until now, succeeded in marginalizing Islamic fundamentalist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood did not play any role in toppling the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt. Nor does the organization seem to have any significant role in the anti-government uprisings in Yemen, Syria and Libya.
But the Obama administration's decision to engage the Muslim Brotherhood will pump life into the organization and bolster its supporters in the rest of the Arab and Muslim countries.
Moreover, the decision sends a message to radical Muslims that they are marching in the right direction and it is only a matter of time before the rest of the world, including the Leader of the Free World, recognizes them as legitimate players.
Those who want to conduct dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood are also endorsing the organization's political and religious allies, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah.
These organizations seek to impose strict Islamic teachings and laws on all Muslims and Arabs. Their common goal is to take the Arabs and Muslims several centuries back.
Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the Obama administration is open to dialogue with the once-banned Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood, for its part, has, of course, welcomed that decision, expressing hope that Washington has "revised its previous policies and decided to side with the rights of the people and their demands to stop supporting the corrupt and tyrannical regimes, backing the Zionist occupation and using double standards."
If the Obama administration is going to talk to the Muslim Brotherhood, there is no reason why it should not also launch dialogue with Hamas, the Taliban, Hizbullah and even al-Qaeda. Engaging Muslim extremists, without demanding that they abandon their dangerous policies and violence, is a huge mistake.

The Antisemites of San Francisco have gotten ballot signatures to outlaw the essential rite of Jewish birth!
Genesis 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
With the current Muslim government of the US, the kangaroo "supreme court" and so on this COULD happen.
Last year I posted about Lloyd Schofield, a San Francisco resident who at the time was 7,100 signatures away from getting an anti-circumcision measure added to the November 2011 ballot. Today, an update: According to the Forward, Schofield has succeeded in collecting enough signatures to force a vote on a law that would make it illegal to "circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18."
If passed, the law would prevent Jewish couples from circumcising their sons - a practice, known as brit milah, that has traditionally symbolized the covenant between God and male Jews. The Forward has published two essays on the topic, one by filmmaker Eli Ungar Sargo that opposes circumcision, and one by Dr. Melvin Konner that is in favor of the practice. "By allowing parents to permanently alter the bodies of their children, the state is failing to protect its most vulnerable citizens from bodily harm," writes Sargo. Dr. Konner disagrees:
"This is a serious tradition, one for which Jews have fought and sacrificed throughout our long history. It is not harmful, and it may have medical benefits. The proposed ban should and will be opposed by all right-thinking people of any religious faith and by decent people without faith who recognize the rights of parents to decide, within broad limits, what is best for their own children."
For me that's the Middle East. Part of the difficulty about being in America was seeing how the U.S. government and the Media just don't seem to understand the Mid East reality. "Arab Spring"? What are they talking about?
Did God silence this false prophet? Was it merely his age? Was it the stress about his failed prophecy? Was it the stress about his next failed prophecy?
What do you think?
Thank you for calling Family Radio. And may we have our next heretic please...
This is a warning call from Tony Adkins and Conservative Action Alerts. Its another call for the American people to WAKE UP to the TRUTH of Al Ikhwan (the "Muslim Brotherhood") and the fast expanding Muslim Ummah before its late. I'm sharing this as an unedited FYI post. I'm making no comment on their organization nor on whether donations should or should not be sent to them. American Conservative,
In late May, four Muslim me were tried in London, England and were found guilty of a vicious attack against a local schoolmaster named Gary Smith who was the head of religious studies at the Central Foundation Girls' School, an academically prestigious school for girls ages 11 to 18. Mr. Smith's head was smashed by a concrete block; his face was slashed by a knife; and his body was beaten by a metal rod. THIS IS WHAT SHARIAH LAW TEACHES...AND IT IS ALREADY INSIDE THE U.S.A.
His crime: "He's mocking Islam and he's putting doubts in people's minds. How can somebody take a job to teach Islam when they're not even a Muslim themselves?"
Under Shariah Law, just about any words which are not in total agreement with Islam can be interpreted as blasphemy, a crime punishable by death. Obviously, the four men on trial in London were just trying to do their part in making the United Kingdom become "Shariah compliant."
Imam Feisal Rauf, the original promoter of the Ground Zero Mosque, is currently on a national speaking tour explaining how Shariah Law leads to freedom and telling audiences that America is a "Shariah compliant state." Rauf's speech about the freedoms promised by Shariah Law is a good illustration of the strategy of "taqiyya," or LYING to further the spread of Islam. Shariah has already infiltrated some of our court systems right here in the United States of America. And we must STOP this onslaught!
U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL) introduced H.R. 973 which outlaws foreign law from our U.S. Court system. She had 56 co-sponsors. Why aren't more Congressmen committing to this very important bill? That's why we must fax them to let them know how patriotic Americans truly feel. It is still in the Subcommittee of the U.S. Constitution and has been since March 9th. This bill is too important to stay in a Committee for that long. Let's fax our Congressmen to raise our voice of support.
Finally, after years of "taking it on the chin," the United Kingdom is also voting on a new Bill that was introduced in the House of Lords THIS WEEK---to outlaw Shariah Law where it conflicts with English law!
Baroness Cox stated: "Equality under the law is a core value of British justice. My Bill seeks to stop parallel legal or 'quasi-legal' systems taking root in our nation. Cases of criminal law and family law are matters reserved for our English courts alone.
"Through these proposals, I want to make it perfectly clear in the law that discrimination against women shall not be allowed within arbitration. I am deeply concerned about the treatment of Muslim women by Shariah Courts. We must do all that we can to make sure they are free from any coercion, intimidation or unfairness. Many women say, 'We came to this country to escape these practices only to find the situation is worse here'."
In the meantime---Egypt has just THIS WEEK legalized terrorism in its country!
Egypt's long-banned terrorist organization, The Muslim Brotherhood, has been legally recognized as the Freedom and Justice Party, Egypt's official news agency reported last Tuesday. The announcement would allow the Shariah-Law group to run in parliamentary elections set for this September.
The Brotherhood is considered one of Egypt's best-organized blocs following the fall of longtime President Hosni Mubarak in February. It was founded in 1928, but was outlawed since 1954. The terrorist group has said it plans to field candidates in about half of Egypt's districts. And part of your tax dollars went to support those who came against Mubarak! Yes, even a terrorist network!
Islamic Shariah Law has crept into a few legal courts inside this great, exceptional America. And for me, and I believe you also, this is one step too far. Sure, I believe in the "freedom of religion" for all people in the United States. That's one of the cornerstones of our democracy that makes our country great. As it says at the Statue of Liberty---"Give me your tired, poor, huddled masses..."
But when a radical religion mindset begins to interfere with our judicial system, I believe we should stand up to that and tell it like it really is. Do you agree?
This bill would prohibit federal judges from using international law to decide any issue in a case. In addition to the radical nation-changing laws of Shariah, this bill comes against the dangerous United Nations treaties and a growing body of international law that has been created by unelected foreign bureaucrats. These treaties and international laws would severely restrict parental rights and home school freedom if brought into United States law. We must protect the integrity of our judicial system to make sure that our courts and our judges ONLY use the U.S. Constitution and domestic law in their decisions.
H.R. 973 would also ensure that federal judges could not look to un-ratified U.N. treaties (like the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child) and international law as precedent in their opinions. Shariah Law is trying to overtake our U.S. Judicial System and must be stopped! H.R. 973 passage will prevent foreign law in our federal court system. We must fax NOW!
Shariah Law continues to spread its "web" inside the United States. In a recent report, "more than 80% of mosques advocate or promote violence."
MANY mosques around the United States have been identified in a new study as "incubators" for jihad against America.
"Of the 100 mosques surveyed, 51 percent had texts on-site rated as severely advocating violence; 30 percent had texts rated as moderately advocating violence; and 19 percent had no violent texts at all," said the survey compiled by Mordechai Kedar and David Yerushalmi and published by the Middle East Quarterly.
In the Washington Times on Thursday, Frank Gaffney noted very seriously: "How's this for a wake-up call?"
Among the findings in the study, "Shariah and Violence in American Mosques," by Kedar, an assistant professor at Bar Ilan University in Israel, and Yerushalmi, the general counsel for Center for Security Policy, were that:
Of the 51 percent of the mosques with texts severely advocating violence, 100 percent were led by imams who recommended that worshippers study texts promoting violence.
In 84.5 percent of the mosques, the imam recommended studying violence-positive texts.
Mosques identified as being more Shariah-adherent, that is, their imams wore beards, the segregated men from women and the like, were more likely "to feature violence-positive texts on site."
Nearly three in five of the mosques invited guest imams known to promote violent jihad.
*** THIS SURVEY WAS OF 100 MOSQUES INSIDE THE UNITED STATES! ***
The United States Constitution would be "NULL AND VOID," for the most part, under Shariah Law. Under Shariah Law, your personal freedoms give way to the will of Allah. That's why this law must not enter our U.S. judicial system!
However, Shariah Law is winning the hearts and souls of many Americans. You see, our United States Judicial System is literally at stake here. Several towns in America now recognize Shariah Law. To many, this would be outright treason!
Someday, Shariah Law may be accepted in YOUR court! Your fax is urgently needed today.
But once Shariah INFILTRATES the judicial process in America - literally, all hell will break loose!
We must make sure that Shariah Law is not indoctrinated into our legal system.
Will you please help us to thwart this initial phase of attack by the Shariah Law advocates? Will you help us to sound the warning or sound the alarm?
Please FAX your Congressman today.
Sincerely, Tony Adkins Conservative Action Alerts
Please help us to STOP SHARIAH LAW in the United States by faxing every single Member of the United States Congress so they can pass H.R. 973! Please be alert and be informed; so you guard against our country being taken over by a foreign, radical religious set of laws!
The following is from our dear brother Yochanan ben Zalman of Beth HaTikvah ("House of the Hope") in Yardley, PA : Join his new blog at: http://bethhatikvah.multiply.com
The Torah was given by HaShem (God) to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai more than 3300 years ago. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot we renew our acceptance of HaShem's gift, and HaShem "re-gives" the Torah.
The word Shavuot means "weeks." It marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot.
The giving of the Torah was a far-reaching spiritual event-one that touched the essence of the Jewish soul for all times. Sages have compared it to a wedding between HaShem and the Jewish people. Shavuot also means "oaths," for on this day HaShem swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him.
It is important to note that the Hebrews were a people before the giving of the Torah, and on the giving of HaShem's Torah became a faith. All Jews were converts on this day.
The holiday of Shavuot is a two-day holiday, beginning at sundown of the 5th of Sivan and lasting until nightfall of the 7th of Sivan. (In Israel it is a one-day holiday, ending at nightfall of the 6th of Sivan.)
Women and girls light holiday candles to usher in the holiday, on both the first and second evenings of the holidays.
It is customary to learn Torah the first night, and some people do this all night until sun up.
On the first day of Shavuot all people should hear the reading or read for themselves the Ten Commandments. Exodus :20
As on other holidays, special meals are eaten, and no "work" may be performed.
It is customary to eat dairy foods on Shavuot.
On the second day Some people read the Book of Ruth publicly, as King David-whose passing occurred on this day-was a descendant of Ruth the Moabite. Ruth was a dedicated convert to Judaism.
As A Messianic Jew I joyfully celebrate this sacred day by remembering and honoring the day Moshe and the Jewish people received HaShem's Torah, blessing and covenant at Sinai.
Information taken on Holy Day from Chabad.org and my thoughts added.
Significance: Remembers the giving of the Torah; also a harvest festival Observances: Studying Torah Length: 2 days (Some: 1 day) Customs: Eating dairy foods
You shall count for yourselves -- from the day after the Shabbat, from the day when you bring the Omer of the waving -- seven Shabbats, they shall be complete. Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count, fifty days... You shall convoke on this very day -- there shall be a holy convocation for yourselves -- you shall do no laborious work; it is an eternal decree in your dwelling places for your generations. -Leviticus 21:15-16, 21
Shavu'ot, the Festival of Weeks, is the second of the three major festivals with both historical and agricultural significance (the other two are Passover and Sukkot). Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple, and is known as Hag ha-Bikkurim (the Festival of the First Fruits). Historically, it celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and is also known as Hag Matan Torateinu (the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah).
The period from Passover to Shavu'ot is a time of great anticipation. We count each of the days from the second day of Passover to the day before Shavu'ot, 49 days or 7 full weeks, hence the name of the festival. See The Counting of the Omer. The counting reminds us of the important connection between Passover and Shavu'ot: Passover freed us physically from bondage, but the giving of the Torah on Shavu'ot redeemed us spiritually from our bondage to idolatry and immorality. Shavu'ot is also known as Pentecost, because it falls on the 50th day; however, Shavu'ot has no particular similarity to the Christian holiday of Pentecost, which occurs 50 days after their Spring holiday.
It is noteworthy that the holiday is called the time of the giving of the Torah, rather than the time of the receiving of the Torah. The sages point out that we are constantly in the process of receiving the Torah, that we receive it every day, but it was first given at this time. Thus it is the giving, not the receiving, that makes this holiday significant.
Shavu'ot is not tied to a particular calendar date, but to a counting from Passover. Because the length of the months used to be variable, determined by observation (see Jewish Calendar), and there are two new moons between Passover and Shavu'ot, Shavu'ot could occur on the 5th or 6th of Sivan. However, now that we have a mathematically determined calendar, and the months between Passover and Shavu'ot do not change length on the mathematical calendar, Shavu'ot is always on the 6th of Sivan (the 6th and 7th outside of Israel. See Extra Day of Holidays.)
It is customary to stay up the entire first night of Shavu'ot and study Torah, then pray as early as possible in the morning.
It is customary to eat a dairy meal at least once during Shavu'ot. There are varying opinions as to why this is done. Some say it is a reminder of the promise regarding the land of Israel, a land flowing with "milk and honey." According to another view, it is because our ancestors had just received the Torah (and the dietary laws therein), and did not have both meat and dairy dishes available. See Separation of Meat and Dairy.
The book of Ruth is read at this time. Again, there are varying reasons given for this custom, and none seems to be definitive.
One of these days the bystanders will start coming to the defense of such victims when they witness these sorts of violations and then "Change" will begin.
It will be messy business but that day is coming.
Imagine what would have happened if those in the courtroom waiting for their own rights to be violated had risen like free citizens of a free country and come to Pete's defense and jumped the bailiffs? Handcuffing them! The battle would have doubtless been lost, but such an opening salvo COULD be how the US Constitution is restored (if that ever happens). One thing is certain, if the people of the former USA don't stand the nation will never be restored.
And by the way, it doesn't matter if these guys look for opportunities to uphold their/our civil rights or not!
In 1963 the march from Selma to Montgomery didn't "just happen."
The way civil and human rights are protected is when brave people like these men place themselves into harm's way to uphold the rights of us all. We should be grateful to them.
It is not a crime to wear a hat, its an antiquated social convention. Free people are not bound to observe such customs. Kudos to Pete Eyre and his friends!
On a Lighter Note:
God Wants You To Wear A Hat! by The Whitest Kids You Know
From: JERUSALEM REPORT From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team
A top spiritual adviser to Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Mohammed Tagbi Mesbah, has issued an edict clarifying the duty of Muslims to kill Jews by any means possible--including suicide attacks. "When protecting Islam," the cleric wrote, "Muslim people depend on martyrdom operations. It not only is allowed, but even is an obligation."
Mesbah's followers regard his words as binding religious edicts. His statement clearly directs them to strike even at Jewish children. This evil spirit of hatred and anti-Semitism is ruling the nation of Iran. It is the driving force behind their nuclear weapons program. They seek the means to accomplish Ahmadinejad's stated goal to "wipe Israel off the map." What they have not yet been able to accomplish on a grand scale they are being instructed and encouraged to do on an individual basis.
Israel's enemies do not want peace...they want Israel destroyed. The celebration of the liberation of Jerusalem in 1967--Yom Yerushalayim--this past Wednesday was a bittersweet day in some ways. Though it was a happy day, no one who loves the Holy City could fail to realize the threat Jerusalem faces. The world is making preparations to divide Jerusalem and curse the Jewish people....
Dear DHFC Supporter, The Obama administration's final betrayal of Israel has begun.
In case you missed, last Thursday's presidential address may well go down in history as the beginning of the end of the State of Israel. Never before has an American President so brazenly embraced the "Palestinian" cause; never before has an American President so contemptuously pushed Israel into a corner. To proclaim that the borders of a Palestinian state must be drawn according to the 1967 lines, ignoring all the issues that should be negotiated on the way to two secure states and ignoring that Israel will someday have to defend these borders from Palestinian hatred, tells two lies at once: that the Palestinians have been sincerely searching for peace, and that Israel is the problem.
The Freedom Center has devoted its twenty years of existence to telling the truth about the crisis in the Middle East--the fact that the Palestinians want to destroy the state of Israel far more than they want to create a state for themselves; that they are planning a new holocaust even as they are denying the Holocaust that actually happened. We have identified those who want a new genocide, here and abroad, and also identified the Big Lies that the international left has created to transform Israel from a state threatened with extinction into the Goliath oppressing the Palestinians.
The Freedom Center is a plain speaking organization. We have defended Israel and its right to exist with passion and have called out the advocates of a new genocide for whom and what they are. We have published over 500,000 copies of pamphlets exposing the lies that have just culminated in the President's shameful and unnecessary speech. We have defended Jewish students at university campuses across the country from the unholy alliance between the pro-jihadists and the radical left that controls campus political life today. I have spoken on hundreds of campuses, produced DVDs, written books, taken out ads in campus papers, Jewish papers and the New York Times about the existential threat facing Israel.
That the President should have delivered such a blow against Israel in the face of the Palestinian Authority's new alliance with Hamas, the terror group that tried to exterminate it, wants to exterminate all Jews, and has vowed never to acknowledge a Jewish State is incomprehensible. That he should have implicitly linked the Palestinians' rejectionism to the revolutionary democratic spirit coursing through the rest of the Middle East in this Arab Spring calls his judgment, as well as his political vision, into question.
I have said for years that Israel is the canary in the mine, and as she goes, so goes America and the West. This tiny nation, besieged on all sides since its birth and now subjected to slanders by the international left in league with resurgent anti-Semitism throughout the world, stands at the frontlines of the War on Terror. That war will become all the more dangerous now that the President has put Israel further on the defensive and implicitly supported the aspirations of an organization, Hamas, that past U.S. presidents have condemned as terrorist and refused to countenance.
The Freedom Center will redouble its efforts to defend Israel and show all Americans, particularly college students, the true nature of Hamas and its apologists on our campuses in the coming months. Between now and the UN meetings set for this Fall, we are going to publish and mail 250,000 more copies of our pamphlets on Israel. Our "Palestinian Wall of Lies" ad that ran in the New York Times will be submitted to another 100 papers in America and Israel. Our DVD and internet campaigns will be expanded and we will organize teach-ins on more campuses, particularly around the time of the upcoming UN meetings, which will become, as we all know, pep rallies for Palestinians and hatefests directed against the Israelis. Never Again is more than a slogan: it is a commitment and a pledge.
The Freedom Center is willing to go into battle on behalf of Israel and against Obama's careless intention to throw it under the bus of history. But we need you to provide the ammunition for this crucially important war of words. You have supported me and my efforts to call out Israel's enemies for many years. Now that Israel faces its most significant threat since the intifada, when Palestinians suicide bombers were killing its citizens in the streets, I am calling on you to help again. Please join our "Save Israel" Campaign today by making as generous of a donation as possible. There is much to do; the time is short.
Thank you again for all your support.
Sincerely, David Horowitz President & Founder
P.S. Last Thursday President Obama proclaimed that a Palestinian state should be drawn in accordance with 1967 borders. Never before has an American President so blatantly endorsed Palestine's plan to destroy Israel. So we must fight back. Over the years I know I've asked a lot of you, but never has the situation been so dire. Will you please make a generous contribution right away to help the Freedom Center defend Israel? Thank you in advance for your support.
From LYLE J. RAPACKI, Ph.D. FOR YOUR ANALYSIS AND CONSIDERATION: Mentioned below is another example of the disturbing trend within the mainstream churches of America ; namely, the acceptance and even adoption of religions contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. These events should not be so surprising given the Apostle Paul's admonishments that come the Last Days, just prior to the Return of Jesus Christ, there would be a great apostasy, and a great falling away from the true tenets of the Christian faith. Mentioned below is an example of the desertion from the teachings of Jesus, and an example of what is still yet to come. The Lord is building a Remnant Church , not a politically and socially acceptable church where the gospel of man becomes the cornerstone.
LYLE J. RAPACKI, Ph.D. Protective Intelligence and Assessment Specialist Consultant at Behavioral Analysis and Threat Assessment Private-Sector Intelligence Analyst _______ A great day to sleep late in Jersey , as long as you're not within earshot of St John's in Montclair . via Interfaith Service at St. John's Parish in Montclair | Baristanet.
This Sunday morning, May 22, at 10 a.m., the sounds of the adhan - the Muslim call to prayer - will ring out in St. John's Episcopal Church Montclair .
While there's no minaret at the church, the words of "Allahu akbar," (God is greater) will none-the-less invite both Christians and Muslims to worship side by side. During the interfaith service, verses from the Holy Qur'an will complement readings from the Holy Bible, including during Communion, embracing the traditions of both religions.
Reverend Andrew Butler, Rector of St. John's parish since September 1, 2010, decided to have this service in order to demonstrate that both Islam and Christianity stem from Abrahamic roots, as well as to dispell negative stereotypes about the Muslim faith.
"I've grown concerned about the demonization of Muslims. I want Montclair to develop an understanding of the religion." Reverend Butler stated.
In addition to Butler , speakers will include Anisa Mehdi, a scholar and journalist who will describe what it means to be a Muslim in America and Abdul-Alim Mubarak-Rowe, an assistant Imam at Masjid Waarith ud Deen in Irvington , a media consultant to the American Muslim Alliance and a journalist.
The Reverend went on to say, "We are trying to find ways to blend our community through religion. It's hard, but we can accomplish it through this organic event and working together through outreach and other ministries of compassion."
This interfaith service isn't only trying to blend religions, is also a way to invite the public to visit St. John 's Episcopal Church. After the service, at 11am, conversation about Islam and Islam in America will continue.

Here's how the blended religion reads: Love your neighbor, as long as he's not a Jew or Christian.or atheist, or Buddhist, or anything that isn't Muslim.
O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. ~ Holy" Koran 5:052
This is another of the many good piece that are coming out about the failed prophecy of Harold Camping and Family Radio. Camping abandoned his followers this morning and played a pre-recorded Bible Study on the Book of Ruth. But he has been talking a bit...
Rapture Prophet Harold Camping's 'Really Tough Weekend'
Harold Camping emerged from his Alameda, California home yesterday to face reporters for the first time since the Rapture that never happened. Wearing a light jacket and speaking over chirping birds, Camping told the San Francisco Chronicle he was "flabbergasted" that the world did not end on Saturday. "I'm looking for answers," he told the reporter. "But now I have nothing else to say. I'll be back to work Monday and will say more then." Camping followers are similarly perplexed. "I don't think I am going to stop listening to him," one man added, heaving a deep sigh before continuing: "I don't know, I gotta listen to him on Monday, see what he says on the radio.
"Somewhat bewildered" and "mystified is how Camping's wife described her husband, before he finally emerged from his home yesterday afternoon. The International Business Times managed to capture Camping on camera, refusing to surrender any more than a few words and promising. "Give me a day, no interviews at all today -- sorry," Camping said. "You know this is a big deal, big deal, and I've got to live with it and I've got to think it out. So no interview."
Camping's relative silence since Saturday's anti-climactic continuation of life on Earth weighs heavy on his followers' confidence. Robert Fitzpatrick, the 60 year-old retired New York transit worker who spent $140,000 on billboards for the coming apocalypse, responded with bewilderment as well. "I can't tell you what I feel right now," he told a crowd of reporters and tourists in Times Square Saturday evening. "I haven't understood it correctly because I'm still here."
At least one person may benefit from Camping's failure. As we pointed out last week, author and would-be Doomsday prophet Tim Lahaye is next in line to announce his prediction for the end of the world.
According to the biblical prophecies what will bring Rex Mundi (Antichrist/Son of Perdition) into power will be CHAOS.
Most countries of the world, including the al Ikhwan governed USA, are planning to commit a horrific SIN -- they intend to divide the holy capital of the Jewish people and give a portion of it to al Ikhwan (through a so-called "Palestinian" state.
Since its rebirth as a modern nation the UN and other Luciferian globalist powers have denied the Jews the right to have Jerusalem as their official capital. NOW these powers plan to give a large portion of the beleaguered city to al Ikhwan to be the capital of terrorist state!
This will doubtless increase the chaos now rocking much of the globe. We PRAY that Israel will not capitulate with this DESOLATION and ABOMINATION of the Holy City of David, eternal capital of the Jewish people! We PRAY the government and people of Israel will stand against ANY country and ANY power that seeks to do or support this EVIL. We PRAY that ALL people of goodwill and faith everywhere will STAND with Israel at this critical juncture and we BEG HASHEM the ONE TRUE GOD to give Benjamin Netanyahu and the government of Israel the COURAGE, the MEANS, the global support and the FAITH to STAND and to Succeed! IF Netanyahu refuses to stand we pray that HaShem will give Israel Jewish leadership that will!
This from our friend Michael Evans and the Jerusalem Prayer team:
JERUSALEM REPORT From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team
Dear John,
A battle is being fought here in Washington, D.C. Ancient prophecy and modern-day conspiracy are on a collision course. Less than forty-eight hours before Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived in Washington, President Obama announced to the world that he fully intended to divide Jerusalem and use all resources available to him to give a PLO terrorist state all of Israel's land retaken during the Six Days War. This is the same organization that has launched over 20,000 terrorist attacks against Israel through missiles, suicide bombers, etc.
If you had any doubts as to why the book "Cursed: The Conspiracy to Divide Jerusalem" was written and why President Obama's picture is on the front cover, there should be no further questions. Prime Minister Netanyahu will speak to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, May 24. He is fighting for the life of his country.
On September 20, 2001, he spoke to the U.S. House of Representatives Government Reform Committee. He said, "September 11 was a wake-up call from hell that has opened our eyes to the horrors that await us tomorrow if we fail to act today."
A war of biblical proportions is being fought between a Liberal Left president and his state department and the leaders of the nation of Israel. Never has Israel experienced as much pressure and attack by the U.S. government as it has now.
Etched into the wall of the main lobby of the CIA's original headquarters are the words, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." I have stood by Israeli prime ministers for decades as they have been dragged from one bargaining table to another and have been forced to cede land for peace.
Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, is a terrorist stronghold. The vast majority of Palestinian Christians have been forced from their homes by radical Muslim fanatics. Some 460 towns and villages in Israel have been turned over to the PLO, including Jericho, Hebron, and even Gaza.
President Obama's view is that all of America agrees on a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is both false and outrageous! His belief that the biggest threats to stability in the Middle East are al Qaeda and Israel is sick. The belief system that embraces giving radical Islam another capital will pacify the Palestinians is absurd. Bowing down to Muslim leaders and apologizing does not neutralize America's war with radical Islam; it only emboldens the fanatics. If America touches prophecy--Jerusalem--a curse will come upon America.
The Bible says, "I will bless them who bless thee, and curse him who curses thee." (Genesis 12:3) The prophet Zechariah proclaimed that the nations which touch Jerusalem would injure themselves.
Listen closely. You can hear the hoofbeats of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse attempting to bring deceit, destruction, and devastation to our beloved nation. This is a battle between two books, two kingdoms, and two spirits. I am going to boldly stand. I've rebuked national security advisors, presidents, and secretaries of state such as Hillary Clinton, with no thought of winning a popularity contest. Self-loathing will not end the war on terror.
The Jerusalem Prayer Team is blanketing the nation with a television special on this subject. It is airing somewhere right now. We've stepped out by faith and purchased airtime while believing that God will supply. (FIND WHEN SAVE JERUSALEM IS AIRING NEAR YOU: http://tool.donation-net.net/Images/Email/1032/PRAYER_SAVE_BY_STATION_051211.pdf ) We have placed the book, "Cursed," into the hands of every conceivable person in an attempt to open eyes to the truth.
This is the only national campaign supporting Israel in the midst of this battle. Please support this campaign today. It is urgent!
President Obama believes there is no military solution to Israel's problems and that Israel's own government is the repository of evil. He apparently believes that terrorism is punishment for past sins. "We have met the enemy, and he is us." Attitude has replaced moral clarity. The Bible admonishes, "'Ye that make mention of the Lord keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth." (Isaiah 62: 6-7)
President Bill Clinton attempted to divide Jerusalem. It was his only major Middle East foreign policy decision in 2001 before President George W. Bush took office. It emboldened radical Islam to strike America. For more than two decades before the attack on the World Trade Center Towers, I cried out that America was developing a tolerance for terror and that terrorists would strike New York City's tallest building first.
People called me foolish and ignored the prophecy. This is the same way they ignored the prophecy in 2007 that Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, and Libya would be overthrown by revolution and that it would spread across the entire Middle East. This was in the #1 New York Times bestseller, "The Final Move Beyond Iraq." The back cover says:
"An Islamic revolution is spreading and is on the brink of becoming America's greatest threat since the Civil War."
Please send your largest gift possible today to help me with this battle. I've requested a meeting with the prime minister. I am the person who anointed him with oil and prophesied over him almost thirty years ago. I told him he would be prime minister of Israel twice. I relayed the prophecy to Prime Minister Begin and asked him to give Netanyahu a position in his government.
For a gift of $60 or more today, I will send you copies of "Cursed" and "The Final Move Beyond Iraq." If you already own these two books, share them with a friend. It is so important to get the word out.
Please send your best gift today so that we can sound the alarm and warn believers of the looming threat before it's too late. Please pray with and for me during this crisis time.
