FIRE WARS. FIRE WEATHER.

[caption id="attachment_814" align="aligncenter" width="570"] THE FIRE IS COMING OVER THE RIDGE. YOUR HOME IS DIRECTLY IN ITS PATH.[/caption]
 

It’s 3:37am. The fire is coming over the ridge. The wind is at its back. And your house is directly in its path.

The kids are already at Gramma’s. So is the dog. And the parakeet.

 

Your wife takes your hand and says as bravely as she can, “It’s time, Honey. We still have each other. And we can always rebuild.” A silent tear wends its way down her cheek. You take her hand, stroke her cheek, and head for the car……. One last look in the rearview mirror. Goodbye…….

 

All over our West Coast this scene has replayed itself time after time, tragedy after tragedy, with some not ending so happily – if you can even call total utter destruction happy…

The firefighting experts are saying these fires are different, more violent, more explosive. They’re leaping too quickly. The smoke is choking, the heat too intense. Green healthy trees shouldn’t go up like that. The weather is too dry. And hot. Where’s the fog? And each new fire has the frightening potential of being the “worst fire in history”.

ISLAM IS AS ISLAM DOES Part One

From the jaws of recorded history come 1400 years of searing and brutal tales of vicious conquests, preemptory unprovoked invasions, chronicled cannibalism, gang rapes and violent pillaging, pedophilia, tyranny of the worst and most vile sort, and a caste system to rival any.
 
It is time to take the Bull of Islam by the Horns and call it out for what it is.
 
Disturbing, tellling quote from Amil ImaniThere is no such thing as ‘radical Islam.’ I have refused to accept several organizations that seek to combat or expose the antics of ‘radical’ or ‘extreme’ Islam, because I know that it is not extremism that is causing the violence…it’s mainstream, typical, normal, traditional, specified, canonical Islam. [emphasis added])
 


 

Making Allah the author of the Quran, I think, is the prime lie perpetrated on mankind for more than a millennium. We can, with certainty, say that it was not even Muhammad alone who authored the Qur’an. In fact, the major part of the Qur’an was either composed by or inspired and written by a few other individuals.” [emphasis added.]

 

Abul Kasem at FaithFreedom.org lists at least 15 people instrumental in compiling the Quran (Koran).
 

Taqlid (or taqleed): Taqlid is the firm unshakeable belief that Allah is the One God. Mohammad was his prophet. The Quran (and the Hadith and Sira) are eternal and perfect. No questions will be entertained. It will always be as it has always been. Masha Allah. (God has willed it).

 

Generally taqlid means that Islam cannot be reformed or changed or improved or altered. It is perfect as is. Ponder that as you ponder beheadings.

 

There are nuances in taqlid certainly.. Some special people are more knowledgeable and are to be followed but there are many and confusing exceptions if they put out contradictory statements.

ISLAM IS AS ISLAM DOES Part Two

ISLAM IS AS ISLAM DOES Part Two
 
ARE THE ROSE COLORED GLASSES OFF YET?
 
Here’s another clip from the site The Religion of Peace. These are the stats on global Muslim violence in just the last 30 days: “During this time period, there were 169 Islamic attacks in 24 countries, in which 1033 people were killed and 1318 injured.”
 
So, shall we join a beheading in progress? Religiously it is preferred that they start with the front of the neck in order to release large quantities of blood, praying to Allah, while then using a sharp blade and brute force to shatter bones that get in the way.
 
Here and Here and Here are Muslim beheading videos from the Net. I do not recommend watching these if you enjoy sleeping the sleep of bliss or if you are a Snowflake… And I seriously recommend AGAINST watching any of these if you have PTSD.
 
The middle link is to Walid Shoebat’s site. Walid is a converted Christian Palestinian Arab who has lots more moxy than I do. With his intent and intense ongoing war against Islam I find it hard to believe that he still walks this earth.
 
His site is always pro-Christian. And his site is often graphic, or horrific, if you prefer, as he chronicles the gut wrenching, vicious, brutal, barbaric attacks of Muslims against others.

SALT DEFICIENCY Can It Wreck Your Health?

Salt has been wrongly demonized as a major contributor to high blood pressure. Factors that play a significantly greater role include your sodium-to-potassium ratio, and a high-sugar, processed food diet.

Symptoms of sodium deficiency may include muscle fatigue, spasms, cramps and heart palpitations. Such symptoms may disappear by adding more salt to your diet.
In the 1600s, the average person was consuming up to 100 grams of salt per day from salted cod, herring and meats. Today, most people get 10 grams of salt per day or less, yet we have far higher rates of hypertension

Low-sodium diets may lower blood pressure. However, this reduction in blood pressure may not necessarily translate into a reduction in cardiovascular events. In fact, the reduction in blood pressure may actually be harmful by potentially increasing heart rate, as well as the risk of falls and fractures

Low-sodium diets can also worsen your total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein ratio and induce insulin resistance increasing both triglycerides and insulin

Subpopulations that may need to monitor their salt intake are listed, as are conditions that increase your need for salt by increasing sodium loss. The benefits of salt loading before exercise are also discussed
