CNN Pulls Video of Interview with Al Qaeda Spokesman…

Brian Lilley – a reporter from Canada with Sun News – explains the problems related to the 9/11 attacks on American embassies in Benghazi and elsewhere in this 12-minute video.

Are we being lied to?  Did four Americans needlessly die in the attacks?  Why all the smoke and mirrors, disinformation, and misdirection?  Why aren’t the world’s media seriously investigating these things?  Why is the White House either stonewalling the world by not providing responsible and truthful answers or by constantly changing what they say is the reason for not providing additional help?

Why has CNN reportedly refused to show their own video when they interviewed Mohamed al-Zawahiri, an Al Qaeda spokesman?  Is it because there are statements on the video that say protests were scheduled to occur and those protests were related to the desired release of the “Blind Sheik”?  Was Ambassador Stevens going to be taken hostage and the plan was to exchange him for the Sheik?  If the Obama administration simply sent the Sheik back to Libya, that would not look good, would it?  People would complain, wouldn’t they.  However, if Mr. Obama gained the release of Ambassador Stevens in exchange for the Blind Sheik, who could complain?  Moreover, it would quite possibly paint Mr. Obama as a hero, wouldn’t it?  He gained the release of Ambassador Stevens.  Feather in his cap.

Instead, things went horribly wrong and four Americans died.

Other sources indicate that this entire situation may well have something to do with squeezing the freedom of speech here in America, something that RADICAL Muslims hate.  They run into this problem in other countries where freedom of speech is the accepted rule, like Denmark and elsewhere.  Ultimately, RADICAL Muslims do NOT want anyone to be able to say anything they consider bad against Muhammad or Allah.  RADICALS believe that people should not be able to say what they want if it winds up “offending” the sensibilities of RADICAL Muslims.

Mr. Obama spoke to the UN shortly after the attacks and reiterated that the Muslim world needs to embrace America’s freedom of speech laws.  They can’t.  It is impossible for RADICAL Muslims to accept free speech because of the fact that they take the Qur’an literally and the Qur’an says that those who offend Allah or his prophet should be put to death.  It’s quite simple.  RADICAL Muslims will never come around to embrace free speech.

During the same speech, Mr. Obama condemned the video that allegedly caused the rioting in Benghazi and elsewhere on the anniversary of 9/11, yet we know that this video had nothing to do with it and it already had a presence on the Internet for at least four months before the attacks took place!

Yes, there is argument about what some of the verses in the Qur’an actually mean.  Some say no, they don’t call for violence against “infidels,” while others say yes, they do call for it.  As long as there are Muslims who believe that it is encouraged and justifiable to physically harm those who “insult” Allah or his prophet, then something is wrong.

“Saudi king calls for criminalization of criticism of Islam” is the title of an article on Robert Spencer’s site in which he highlights an article published by AFP. [1]  What other group gets this type of special treatment?  What other group is allowed to riot and protest and kill people because they are offended?  If Christians did that, the world would clamp down on it so fast and rightly so because that’s not the way authentic Christians should act. But when RADICAL Muslims attack people by stabbing them to death or attempting to kill a cartoonist with an axe, though the perpetrators might eventually be arrested and even jailed, there are people in this world who believe that the Muslim was justified in doing so.

How long has this godless world been attacking Jesus and His followers?  His is the only Name that is used as an epithet out of all those who are perceived as God or gods.  Daily, we Christians get to hear people use our Lord’s Name as a swear word, in movies, TV, or in books and magazines.  Can you imagine what would happen if Muhammad or Allah became a swear word?  I’d rather not think of it.

But when people swear using the Name of Jesus, they are doing so because of their sinful condition.  I don’t take it personally.  My heart grieves for them.  I certainly do not want to kill them or harm them.  I want them to come to know this same Jesus that they use as an expletive, as Savior and Lord.

Whatever the reason for the complete lack of response to the embassy attacks on the anniversary of 9/11, there is certainly much more than meets the eye. Anyone who prefers to downplay this situation either doesn’t understand that no one is above the law, or wrongly believes it’s just not that important in the scheme of things.  Four Americans died…needlessly.  The administration unfortunately did absolutely nothing to save their lives. First we heard it was a movie.  Then we heard that we needed to gain permission of the Libyan government to rescue our own people (WRONG!).  Then we heard that the administration was concerned that sending in more troops might have offended the Libyans.  Why wasn’t the administration concerned about four Americans?

These are questions that need answers and that alone should be enough to require a full-blown investigation.  My prayer is that this is not swept under the rug and justice will be done.  If it was good enough for Richard Nixon, a Republican, who was found to be behind the Watergate break-in in 1972, which ultimately brought down his presidency, it is certainly good for Mr. Obama whose apparent ineptitude – for whatever reason – caused the deaths of our Americans.

How can this go unpunished?  How can it be set aside?  The same thing happened with “Fast and Furious” when one of our border agents died with a gun that walked across the border to Mexico.  Apart from that, hundreds of Mexicans may have also died with other guns from this same “Fast and Furious” operation.

Why does the media continue to protect Mr. Obama and his administration?  Are they that afraid of being called “racist”?

For Christians to remain silent about this is tantamount to complicity.  Would you remain silent if a government started rounding up Jews, or Christians, or Muslims, or Seventh-day Adventists, or Mormons, or Jehovah’s Witnesses?  Would you?  If so, then you are just as guilty as those who are actually doing the wrong thing.

Christians should be the light of this world.  We should be the epitome of righteousness and unspotted living in a world that knows neither of these things.  We cannot sit on the sidelines while the world that is ruled by the “god of this age” does whatever he wants to create more havoc and unrighteousness.

Of course, the most important thing that every Christian should be concerned for is the salvation of every single person.  That is the Great Commission that we have been called to fulfill and it has never been rescinded.  However, along with that is the need to be willing to speak the truth in love when those of this world – especially those elected officials – do the kinds of things that make them appear as if they are above the law.

In Luke 13, Jesus referred to Herod as a “fox.”  That was not a compliment.  He was insulting Herod for the way Herod lived.  In Luke 3, John the Baptist rebuked Herod for having his brother’s wife.  The result?  John was eventually beheaded.

Under the rules of the Roman Empire, people were forbidden to criticize the emperor or other lesser rulers within Rome, but especially Caesar.  To do so meant to become treasonous and that was punishable by death.  To avoid death, you simply kept your mouth shut.  Both Jesus and John took a huge chance by making the comments they made against Herod, the ruler of Jerusalem and Palestine during Jesus’ day.

America is not controlled by a dictator or an imperial ruler.  There is no law that says that we cannot critique or even condemn the policies of our leaders.  In fact, in America, we have freedom of speech that guarantees us the ability to say what we want to say.  This should always be done as respectfully as possible, especially with those God has placed as leaders over us.  However, we are allowed by our own laws to express our opinions about how our leaders lead (or not) and how they treat us, the taxpayers who pay their salaries.

I know there are many Christians who believe they cannot vote in this coming election.  They believe that they should simply stick their heads in the sand and respond as Sgt. Schultz from TV’s “Hogan’s Heroes” with “I see nothing!”

That’s like passing right by the guy who was accosted and beat up by criminals in the parable of the Good Samaritan.  How do these Christians live with themselves?  Again, yes, our primary goal during this life is to preach the gospel with our lives, not simply with our words.  But how does ignoring the wrongs of society affect our testimony to the world?  Don’t we have a higher calling than that?  I would hope so.

Please take 12-minutes out of your day to watch the video below.  Are we being lied to and if so, to what end?  If it is all just swept under the rug, the truth will never come out, will it?
