Seeds <strong>of</strong> Armageddon<br />
As events continue to unfold, and despite the political leanings <strong>of</strong> mainstream media, the heart <strong>of</strong><br />
terrorists and all their supporters and sympathizers continue to be exposed. Special attention should be<br />
given to the plight faced by Israelis today at the hands <strong>of</strong> Muslims. Many Christians are very concerned<br />
about the events occurring in Israel for all the usual humanitarian reasons, but also for reasons not always<br />
understood by either Muslims or Jews. Of course the educated understand what Palestinians mean when<br />
they repeat the well known saying "Saturday people first, Sunday people next". But additionally, in<br />
accor<strong>dan</strong>ce with prophecies in John’s ‘Book <strong>of</strong> Revelations’, some fear that what we are witnessing is the<br />
groundwork for the prophecies relating to the last days and Armageddon, while others think that Islam<br />
may be that ‘Great and Terrible Church’ referenced therein.<br />
Whatever the future may hold, the present condition on the ground is untenable, as the Muslim<br />
leaders do everything they can to encourage terrorist strikes, and nothing to stop them. The root <strong>of</strong> the<br />
problem for Palestinians is they do not see the extremists amongst them acting badly as a great problem as<br />
the victims are, after all, only infidels. For the West, it is easy to diagnose such incorrect perceptions and<br />
attitudes as thinking errors, and so the solution becomes obvious. It would be prudent at this point to<br />
embark on a worldwide education program to teach all Muslims nations and peoples to think<br />
independently and critically. Unfortunately, the problem is not quite so easily solved, because within their<br />
own culture they do not see thirsting for blood and revenge as a character flaw, but rather they worship<br />
and reward the concepts when it is directed toward infidels. Additionally, all institutions <strong>of</strong> training and<br />
schooling are the very religious institutions that led to their current state <strong>of</strong> self-defeatist thinking. In<br />
Pakistani religious schools called the Haqqania madrasa, Osama bin Laden is a hero, Taliban's leaders are<br />
famous alumnus, terrorist suicide bombers are worshiped and eulogized as martyrs, and follow-on<br />
generations <strong>of</strong> mujahedeen are being conditioned and militantly groomed. The curriculum centers on the<br />
memorization and interpretation <strong>of</strong> the Qur’an (Koran) and the Hadith. Similar curriculums are taught in<br />
Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere. It should be emphasized that virtually all Islamic schools<br />
propagate this prejudice. The superiority Muslims feel over non-brothers is enshrined in the Qur’an,<br />
embedded in Islamic Law, and unquestionably enforced by principalities and governments. Any effort to<br />
teach their youth non-Muslim concepts would be violently opposed. Conversion to any other doctrine or<br />
religion will remain punishable by death, just like Mafia or Gang mentality. Once you’re in you can’t get<br />
out …your own family is sometimes required hunt you down and apply punishment.<br />
June 23 rd , 2003 marked 1000 days <strong>of</strong> conflict, with over 100 homicide bombings. In the current<br />
Infada, Palestinians have also carried out hundreds <strong>of</strong> other attacks aimed at ordinary civilians, killing<br />
over 900 and wounding thousands in a nation <strong>of</strong> 6.3 million people. Yet it was recently reported again<br />
that the Israeli West Bank <strong>of</strong>fensive (and re-occupation), which caused and fueled Arab rage. For some<br />
strange reason, Palestinians and their supporters do not seem to be able to associate the incursions with<br />
the earlier string <strong>of</strong> suicide attacks coming from elements within the occupied territories. To the<br />
Palestinian media and people, all subsequent Israeli Military and Police actions have been undeserved and<br />
completely unprovoked. This is the literal state <strong>of</strong> mind to these people. A clearer picture <strong>of</strong> what is<br />
happening inside the mind <strong>of</strong> Palestinians goes something like this; ‘The terrorist bombings and killings<br />
have no bearing on the matter, because after all, they are only Jews, and any act against them is<br />
warranted by divine decree. As such they really don’t matter, any more than the daily killings <strong>of</strong> cows and<br />
chickens at the slaughterhouse matter. On the other hand there is no such thing as justifiable acts against<br />
brothers by Jews and Infidels.’ The UN International Court seems to agree with this premise, and has<br />
further discredited itself in the July 2004 ruling that the protective wall being built to keep terrorists from<br />
slaughtering Israelis is ‘illegal’.<br />
Meanwhile, back in reality, the unwritten commentaries and absence <strong>of</strong> rage toward those carrying<br />
out the suicide murder missions -prior- to the <strong>of</strong>fensive, or for that matter toward Bin-laden or Sept 11,<br />
confuse Westerners. The image <strong>of</strong> jubilant celebration after 9/11 by so many Palestinian revelers in the<br />
West Bank and Gaza are forever burned into the minds <strong>of</strong> cognizant Americans. So before we judge the
