Political Correctness of Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem
Stop Islamization Sharia Law Political Correctness of Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem

Political Correctness of Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem? Moslem or Muslim 

Boomers knew the followers of Allah and Mohammed by their proper and just name - Moslem.  We find in the The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted, "Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage." Muslim is preferred by the politically correct history revisionist - those individuals who self proclaimed they were scholars and those English-speaking adherents of Islam. Because people have allowed themselves to be dumbed down and are afraid of being admonished [bullied and ridiculed] by the politically correct history revisionist the term has created by them has come into common usage.

According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, "Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word."

But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different.

A Muslim in Arabic means "one who gives himself to God [like a woman or prostitute in the Moslem culture]," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means "one who is evil and unjust" [as one would be if he follows the Quran] when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

For others, this spelling differentiation is merely a linguistic matter, with the two spellings a result of variation in transliteration methods. Both Moslem and Muslim are used as nouns. But some writers use Moslem when the word is employed as an adjective.

Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups [those Fatwahs that call for your death]. Journalist are such cowards. But the use of the word Moslem has not entirely ceased. Established institutions which used the older form of the name have been reluctant to change. The American Moslem Foundation is still the American Moslem Foundation (much as the NAACP is still the NAACP--the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The journal The Moslem World--published by the Hartford Seminary in Connecticut--is still The Moslem World.

THE 1956 SINAI CAMPAIGN
Stop Islamization Sharia Law THE 1956 SINAI CAMPAIGN

THE 1956 SINAI CAMPAIGN

In the early 1950s, Egypt violated the terms of the Egyptian-Israeli armistice agreement and blocked Israeli ships from passing through the Suez Canal, a major international waterway. It also began to block traffic through the Straits of Tiran, a narrow passage of water linking the Israeli port of Eilat to the Red Sea. This action effectively cut off the port of Eilat -- Israel's sole outlet to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Closure of the Suez Canal and the Tiran Straits damaged Israel's trade with Asia, for it meant that foreign ships carrying goods bound for Israel and Israeli ships carrying goods bound for the Far East had to travel a long and costly circuitous route to the Atlantic and Israel's Mediterranean ports.

At the same time, Palestinian Arab fedayeen launched cross-border infiltrations and attacks on Israeli civilian centers and military outposts from Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Arab infiltration and Israeli retaliation became a regular pattern of Arab-Israeli relations. Israel hoped that its harsh reprisals would compel Arab governments to restrain infiltrators into Israel. In 1955 alone, 260 Israeli citizens were killed or wounded by fedayeen.

In July 1956, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, threatening British and French interests in oil supplies and western trade. Their interests converging, Israel, Britain and France planned an attack on Egypt, with the former seeking free navigation through international waters and an end to terrorist attacks and the latter two hoping to seize control of the Suez Canal.

On October 29, 1956, Israel began its assault on Egyptian military positions, capturing the whole of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. On October 31, France and Britain joined the fray and hostilities ended on November 5. The U.S. was caught completely by surprise and voiced strong opposition to the joint attack. The U.S. pressured Israel to withdraw from Egyptian territory. United Nations forces were stationed along the Egyptian-Israeli border to prevent an Egyptian blockade and deter cross-border infiltrations. Israel declared that if Egyptian forces would again blockade the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba, it would consider this a casus belli.

In the years following the 1956 Suez crisis, Arabs and Israelis maintained an uneasy truce. Tensions began to escalate in the mid 1960s as a result of domestic, regional and international factors independent of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In particular, Arab states competed against each other for dominance in the Arab world. Egypt's Nasser struggled to maintain his position as leader of Arab politics. Facing internal social and economic problems as well, Arab governments increased their anti-Israel posture as a means of quieting internal dissent. In February 1966, for example, a new Syrian regime facing growing economic problems raised the volume of anti-Israel rhetoric and increased cross-border raids on Israeli territory.

In keeping with their attempts to manipulate and control the Palestinian cause, the Arab states created the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Cairo in 1964. The goal of the PLO, according to its founding charter, was to use violence to liberate Palestine. In 1965, Fatah, the main faction of the PLO, began terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and civilian installations.

Soviet-American competition in the Middle East contributed to Arab-Israeli tensions too. While the Soviets lent political and military support to radical Arab regimes, the United States provided the same to conservative Arab states and to Israel.

What Moslems do not want you to know
Stop Islamization Sharia Law

What Moslems Deny

JEWS HAVE A HISTORY IN ISRAEL THE GROUP CALLING THEMSELVES  'PALESTINIANS' DO NOT

What Moslems  they do not want you to know

For 479 years from the time the Jews left Egypt until the first Temple of Solomon[Beit Hamikdash] was built, the Holy Ark [ Aron Hakodesh] was kept in the Mishkan.  The Mishkan was the temporary dwelling place for the Shecina [G-d's holy presence] until the Beit Hamikdash was built.  It was first erected in the year 2449.  Then it was taken down and carried by the Leviim through the desert for thirty-nine years.  When the Jews reached Israel it stood in the following places:

Gigal       from 2488    14yrs

Shilo       from 2503    369 yrs

Nov        from 2871    13 yrs

Giveon    from 2884     44yrs

ENTIRE PERIOD - 479 YEARS

The dedication of Salmon's temple took place in the year 2928

The questions that  Moslems need to answer:

Can you prove that Palestine is a country?

Any legitimate country in the world is able to answer all of these questions.

If you are sure that Palestine is a country or ever was a country you should be able to answer some of these easy questions.

1. When was it founded and by whom?

2. What were it's borders?

3. What was it's capital?

4. What were it's major cities?

5. What constituted the basis of it's economy?

6. What was it's form of government?

7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?

8. Where was Arafat born?

9. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?

10. What was the language of the country of Palestine?

11. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine?

12. What was the name of it's currency? Choose any date in history and try and find the approximate exchange rate of the

Palestinian monetary unit against other world currencies on that date.

13. Have the Palestinians left any artifacts behind?

14. Do you know of a library where one could find a work of Palestinian literature produced before 1967?

15. And finally, since there is no such country today, what caused it's demise and when did it occur?

16. If the people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War?

Never in recorded history until 1967 when Vassar Arafat declared there to be a country called Palestine has there ever been a country called that. Closest that ever was is in 132 a.d. when the Roman Emperor declared it to be called Palestinia because of the continued rebellion of the Jews in Israel [nothing to do with Moslems or Arabs.

This history comes from Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylon, Greek and Roman.

This history starts from 2500 b.c.e until 350 a.d.!

However when it comes to there being Jewish people and a country for them then recorded history shows that since 1200 b.c.e. they have been there!

Sorry for those who try to say other wise but when the history books have been re written since 1980 they do show something very different than facts!

Questions for the Moslem-in-Chief Obama Terrorist Organization [MICOTO] and the Moslem George Mitchell who was orphaned at a young age and adopted by Lebanese parents. He was raised in an Moslem household. I'm sure he learned a lot of helpful things about Jews and Israel there. He is completely unfit for this job. But in that respect, he fits in well with the rest of the Obama crowd

MICOTO before you go carving up a nation like Israel and giving pieces of it to Obama's relatives or fellow Moslems who claim to be Palestinians what can you tell the world about the made up nation of Palestine?

Joys of Muslim Women
Stop Islamization Sharia Law

Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy. Even though a woman is abused she cannot obtain a divorce.

To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry.

The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. 

 Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife cannot obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. 

It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.

Scalia: "There Is No Right to Secede"
To Be Heard SC

Do states have a right to secede from the union? The issue is generating some debate on blogs after Texas Gov. Rick Perry told a "tea party" rally that Texans could get so fed up with big government that they may some day seek that option.

It turns out that Justice Antonin Scalia has weighed in with his views, in a letter to a legal blogger’s screenwriting brother. Scalia tackled the constitutional question (there is no right to secede, he says) as well as the possibility of a Supreme Court showdown over the issue (don’t count on it).

Lawyer Eric Turkewitz explained the genesis of the letter at his New York Personal Injury Law Blog. Turkewitz says his brother, Dan, wrote to all the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court asking about the right to secede. Scalia was the only one to reply.

The screenwriter was working on a political farce in 2006 about Maine seceding from the United States, and he envisioned a Supreme Court showdown.

Justice Scalia didn’t side with Maine.

“I cannot imagine that such a question could ever reach the Supreme Court,” Scalia wrote. “To begin with, the answer is clear. If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede. … Secondly, I find it difficult to envision who the parties to this lawsuit might be. Is the state suing the United States for a declaratory judgment? But the United States cannot be sued without its consent, and it has not consented to this sort of suit.”

Scalia goes on to say he is sure that “poetic license” can overcome the legal issues.


Scalia: "There Is No Right to Secede"

The right of a state to secede from the nation is way outside my personal injury wheelhouse. But it has become a source of conversation on professorial and political blogs, and the concept has generated interest from the Tea Party movement.

As it happens, my brother has a letter from Justice Antonin Scalia that is directly on point as to the legitimacy of secession. How he got that letter, and its contents, are the subject of today's post.

The inspiration for writing, and the release of the letter, comes from Prof. Eugene Volokh, who wrote, "I keep hearing the claim that the legitimacy of secession from the U.S. was 'settled at Appomattox,' and I wanted to say a few words about why I think that makes little sense."

The good prof goes on to write that, while clearly not supporting secession of any State in concept, that the issue is far from settled. He writes:
If in 2065 Alaska, California, Hawaii, or Texas (just to consider some examples) assert a right to secede, the argument that "in 1865, the victorious Union government concluded that no state has a right to secede in opposition to the wishes of the Union, so therefore you lack such a right" will have precisely the weight that the Americans of 2065 will choose to give it -- which should be very little.
Thus far, that post has generated 152 comments.

Well prof, Justice Scalia disagrees with you. Explicitly. Why did he do so in a letter to my brother? Glad you asked.

Dan is a screenwriter (whose screenplay Tranquility Base was just named a finalist at the Vail Film Festival, and previously took top honors elsewhere). Back in 2006 he started working on a political farce that had Maine seceding from the United States and joining Canada.

Bro was well ahead of the tea partiers in contemplating impending problems as we racked up massive debt. This doesn't get him an agent or a foot in the door of Hollywood to get his screenplays made into films -- it isn't what you write, but who you know -- but it does make him a prophet of sorts.

So, on a lark, he wrote to each of the 10 Supreme Court justices (including O'Connor) with this request:
I'm a screenwriter in New York City, and am writing to see if you might be willing to assist me in a project that involves a unique constitutional issue.

My latest screenplay is a comedy about Maine seceding from the United States and joining Canada. There are parts of the story that deal with the legality of such an event and, of course, a big showdown in the Supreme Court is part of the story.

At the moment my story is a 12 page treatment. As an architect turned screenwriter, it is fair to say that I come up a bit short in the art of Supreme Court advocacy. If you could spare a few moments on a serious subject that is treated in a comedic way, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. I'm sure you'll find the story very entertaining.
I told Dan he was nuts. I told him his letter would be placed in the circular file. And then Scalia wrote back. Personally. Explicitly rejecting the right to secede:

I am afraid I cannot be of much help with your problem, principally because I cannot imagine that such a question could ever reach the Supreme Court. To begin with, the answer is clear. If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede. (Hence, in the Pledge of Allegiance, "one Nation, indivisible.") Secondly, I find it difficult to envision who the parties to this lawsuit might be. Is the State suing the United States for a declaratory judgment? But the United States cannot be sued without its consent, and it has not consented to this sort of suit.

I am sure that poetic license can overcome all that -- but you do not need legal advice for that. Good luck with your screenplay.

So there you have it. At least one vote solidly on record as saying that there is no right to secede. And it likely comes from a place the right wing secessionists most wanted to have a vote.

And yes, Dan still needs an agent. Because writing great scripts isn't enough if you don't know The Powers That Be on the other coast. And, for what it's worth, his now-completed script of Maine joining Canada is better than his award-winning one about a mis-adventure in space.

Iran Constitutional Hurdle
Stop Islamization Sharia Law

Iran Constitutional Hurdle

A look into Iran's Islamic constitution and how it impedes Iran's democratic reform. 

Jahanshah Rashidian

The trigger of violence was officially pulled in Iran when it became clear that the vision of Ayatollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) as an Islamic society, was to take precedence over all other visions and interpretations after the revolution of 1979. There was disagreement from the start among the various political forces over the definition of the revolution itself.

The left and secularists wanted the term "Democratic Republic", while a spectrum of Muslims preferred "Islamic Democratic", but Khomeini opted for "Islamic Republic". The referendum of March 1979 overwhelmingly demonstrated the meaning of the term "Islamic Republic", and produced the first isolation of all, who believed in adding the word "Democratic" to Iran, and did not believe in "Islam above all".

Teas and its Politically Correct Revisionist History

Texas and California being the largest purchasing states of text books make the decision what the other states get. California being broke Texas will make the decision...This will be the books used for several years


A message from LIBERTY COUNSEL:

This weekend Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, will appear on Mike Huckabee's show to discuss potentially dramatic changes to the framework of textbooks that are being discussed by the Texas State Board of Education (TSBOE). Huckabee and Staver will be revealing suggested changes, some of which are still under discussion. The show will begin at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, Eastern Time.
TSBOE will soon finalize the language that textbook publishers use to align their textbooks to current standards. As Texas is a leader in textbooks, most other states purchase the same educational materials. The textbook controversy in Texas affects every American because, to have a bright future, we must know our past. America has a rich past founded on Judeo-Christian values and to forget them, or worse, to distort them, will doom our future. Those who want to reshape America begin by rewriting our past. We repeat the mistakes of the past when we are ignorant of them.

Some of the suggestions that have come forward at various times include:

* Removing references to Daniel Boone, General George Patton, Nathan Hale, Columbus Day, and Christmas.
* Including the cultural impact of hip hop music, ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.
* Replacing the term "American" with "Global Citizen"- stating that students need to be shaped "for responsible citizenship in a global society" without any mention of citizenship in American society.
* Replacing expansionism and free enterprise with imperialism and capitalism.

The Board's next meeting is in March and the final reading and adoption of the social studies guidelines will be in May.


Make your voice heard now, before the next meeting. Please be courteous when you call the board members to encourage them to promote traditional, pro-American language in their guidelines, or, you may also email them at sboesupport@tea.state.tx.us. Please note that this e-mail address automatically distributes to all 15 board members so duplicate messages are not necessary.

 Phone number is 512-463-9734.


PLEASE HELP ME GET THE WORD OUT!!!! Our kids and the HISTORY of our nation is at stake!!!!
