Truth About the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
It is not difficult at all to find the truth about the Muslim’s claim on the Temple Mount area. Most today understand that as far as Islam goes, the Temple Mount is theirs and the fact that the Dome of the Rock stands there proves it (to them). Another fact indicates that Islam today is doing everything it can to deny and even eradicate anything that has to do with the historical references to Jewish ownership/occupation of the Temple Mount.

Freedom of Speech on Study-Grow-Know
This is a quick one, but I wanted to take a moment to explain my position on freedom of speech as it applies to comments left by people who take the time to read the individual blogs posted here.
There have been a number of people who stop by, read something (or not) and then leave a very crude, pedestrian-type of comment. The comment(s) is generally asinine and might include ad hominem attacks. On a number of occasions, the same individual will leave a baited statement like “thank you for not denying me of my right of freedom of speech, by posting my comment.” Of course, it’s not stated in such a polite way, but the point is clear. If I do not post their comment, then I am allegedly guilty of denying their freedom of speech.
We need to be clear on this. I have received and usually read their comment(s). Because I have received it, they have not been denied any of their free speech rights. By choosing to NOT post their comments for all the world to see does nothing as far as free speech is concerned. I did not keep them from posting their comment to me. I simply deemed their comment too stupid to post. In essence, I was doing that individual a favor so that the entire world (or however many people actually read these blogs) would not also see how stupid that person is, from their post.
The truth of the matter is that most people who leave posts here do so anonymously. Because of that fact alone – that they do not want people to know who they actually are – it is therefore impossible to say that I have denied them their freedom of speech by not posting their comment(s). In fact, they have actually done that by keeping their identity a secret.
Even for those who use some type of real-looking name, that is no guarantee that they are who they claim to be. The bottom line here is that there is an option installed by WordPress that allows me to have comments automatically posted, moderated, or never posted. The fact that this exists within the confines of WordPress is testament to the fact that not posting comments left by individuals does not constitute a denial of anyone’s right of free speech.
This board – Study-Grow-Know – is my board. I can let it sit here with nothing on it, I can post only my words and thoughts, or I can allow people to post their thoughts and comments. People who really believe their rights are being denied are perfectly free to start their own blog.
The chances of having your comment(s) posted is due directly to the level of intelligence used in your comment. I don’t even mind a bit of sarcasm, because I use it myself. However, I don’t appreciate and will not post comments left by people who simply attack. There is no point to posting or addressing those types of comments.
I have used the Internet long enough to know that some people, for kicks, simply wander around the ‘Net looking for ways to start arguments. These people are pointless and they get off at the expense of others. If you have something intelligent to say, feel free to say it. If you need to use numerous epithets, expletives, ad hominem attacks, and the rest, that requires me to edit your comments. If you are not intelligent enough to extend your thoughts without having to resort to the lowest common denominator, then it would probably be best to keep your comments on your own blog, or continue searching for other blogs where your type of comments are appreciated.
I’m all for discussion and even disagreement. I’m not willing to engage in stupidity simply because people think it’s entertaining.
Nazism and Islam – Two Peas in a Pod
I would highly recommend watching “Obsession,” and two other videos: Islam Rising: Geert Wilders’ Warning to the West and Islam Rising: A Call to One World Ummah. By the way, that word “Ummah” means “dominion.” Militant Islamists are not at all that far removed from Hitler and his Nazism.

A Covert Mission Strategy by Islamic Militants
Yes, it sounds like I’m repeating myself because I am, but please do your own research into what has been taking place in The Netherlands, Great Britain, or even France. These are civilized countries and yet, Islam has become dominant in some cases, and in others, continues to grow to that point. To think this cannot actually occur in the United States is extremely naive. That’s like saying to yourself that you will never be killed by a drunk driver, or simply in an automobile accident.

Terrorists Among Illegal Aliens Coming from Mexico?
It’s interesting when we consider the problem of our “open” border that President Obama refuses to do anything about. In fact, it appears that he seems to think if he ignores the problem, it really is not there.
Are illegal aliens from Mexico essentially Mexicans, or do they include terrorists from other countries altogether?
Here are some very short videos that may enlighten those of you who think that the problem of illegal aliens is not really a problem. When you watch these, remember the “Americans” who were protesting the very idea that illegal aliens should be kept out.

Radical Islam Making Their Presence Felt
Well, let’s see, with this current administration’s hatred of America and forces outside of our borders doing their level best to work with forces inside our borders to bring this country down, it may not be too long before women must start wearing Burkhas and men will be able to beat them in public. Who knows, but the phrase “Off with their heads!” may become more than simply a phrase from Alice in Wonderland.

Definitely – According to Some – It’s Muhammad in Romantic Cannibals “Art”
It’s interesting that most understand that Jesus is the subject of more than one of the prints. How do we know? Well, first of all, the artist himself has not denied that it is of Jesus. Second, there is a very well known head/face of Jesus that we have seen in paintings for years that Chagoya used in one of the prints. Seems clear enough that these facts, along with the Roman Catholic imagery used throughout the numerous panels in Chagoya’s “art” speaks to the point that the subject in at least two of the panels is Jesus Himself.
Radical, Orthodox Jews Attack Christians in Israel
Today we were in court because a group of orthodox Jews tried to set up Eddie and one of them tried to steal Eddie’s camera out of his coat pocket. When Eddie defended himself and pushed the man away, they called the police and Eddie was arrested.
Pornography, Obscenity, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression
Today though, Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek and essentially become a doormat for the world. I don’t think so. As a Christian, I am not about to create situations in which I must defend myself, or in which I invite the world’s angst. At the same time, I do not believe that God expects me to play dead when the world calls me out.

The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals
No such courtesy is extended to Christians, however. For Christians, the world can do whatever it likes to Jesus, the Founder of OUR religion. What are Christians going to do? They will certainly not act like pagans (or Muslim extremists), will they?
