THE SAINT (Francis) AND THE SULTAN (Malik)...CRUSADE

Since the election of the new pope and assuming the name of “Francis I;” books written about Saint Francis suddenly burst into the fore with some making the headlines while others coming second and down the line. He lived so far back in our time; very little do we know of the man and the saint but wow…he did live in very interesting times and the new pope made a right a choice if only to resurrect the saint’s life so relevant in our time. 

Book Description

Release date: September 29, 2009

An intriguing examination of the extraordinary–and little known meeting between St. Francis of Assisi and Islamic leader Sultan Malik Al-Kamil that has strong resonance in today's divided world.

For many of us, St. Francis of Assisi is known as a poor monk and a lover of animals. However, these images are sadly incomplete, because they ignore an equally important and more challenging aspect of his life -- his unwavering commitment to seeking peace. In The Saint and the Sultan, Paul Moses recovers Francis' s message of peace through the largely forgotten story of his daring mission to end the crusades.

In 1219, as the Fifth Crusade was being fought, Francis crossed enemy lines to gain an audience with Malik al-Kamil, the Sultan of Egypt. The two talked of war and peace and faith and when Francis returned home, he proposed that his Order of the Friars Minor live peaceably among the followers of Islam–a revolutionary call at a moment when Christendom pinned its hopes for converting Muslims on the battlefield. 

The Saint and the Sultan captures the lives of St. Francis and Sultan al-Kamil and illuminates the political intrigue and religious fervor of their time. In the process, it reveals a startlingly timely story of interfaith conflict, war, and the search for peace. More than simply a dramatic adventure, though it does not lack for colorful saints and sinners, loyalty and betrayal, and thrilling Crusade narrative, The Saint and the Sultan brings to life an episode of deep relevance for all who seek to find peace between the West and the Islamic world.

Absolute proofs moon landing was a HOAX

I was at one time reading a scientific journal where a team of scientist explained why it is not yet possible to send human missions neither to the moon nor to Mars. The following reasons stuck to my mind because it shocked me beyond words: 1) No suit has yet been invented that will protect astronauts from killer radiation through the “Van Allen Radiation belt” that surrounds earth far out in space. It will fry humans even inside their spaceships passing through the radiation belt. 2) NASA doesn't have the technology to land a man on the moon or Mars and fly him out. Any journey to Mars will have to be a one way trip. And in another article; it says that the moon is covered with cosmic dust between 3 to 6 feet thick that will virtually sink an astronaut and so fine it will plug and stick to machines. It is shocking because the Apollo missions were like a walk in the park. If they did it repeatedly in 1969; why can’t they do it now with technology even far advanced than in 1969 unless the Apollo moon landings were faked?

BELIEVERS vs. UNBELIEVERS: it’s time to divide the world…

What the USA is doing is dividing the world. It is self-evident. There will come a time when the oppressed people of the planet will say Enough is enough. The Muslims have proven in the so-called “Arab Spring” that they are capable of getting rid of oppressive dictators, and if need be, they are willing to kill and die for freedom and liberty because in Islam, it is better to be slaughtered than to be oppressed. “Give me liberty or give me death” is a Western motto that has been taught in Islam from the time of its birth. When ex-President Bush declared that “EITHER YOU ARE WITH US OR YOU ARE WITH THE ENEMY,” he set the tone for the future of human relations. The world, whether we like it or not, is now divided between the “BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS;” either you are with the Beast of Empire or you are with God; justice or injustice, and those Muslims who ally themselves with the unbelieving beasts will have their day of reckoning.

US threatens Pakistan with sanctions over gas pipeline deal with Iran

The US State Department has threatened Islamabad with sanctions if the country goes through with a joint multi-billion-dollar gas pipeline project with Iran.

The threats came on the same day as the inauguration of the final construction phase of the multi-billion-dollar Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline, intended to carry natural gas from Iran to its eastern neighbor. 

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari attended the ceremony on the Iran-Pakistan border on Monday.

SWISS POLITICIAN EMBRACES ISLAM...

This one particularly caught my attention due to its close resemblance to Geert Wilder’s (Dutch) party member converting to Islam despite the party’s feeding on anti-Muslim rhetoric that gives it life. Daneil Streich is a Swiss politician who discovered Islam while his government was actively pushing for the ban on “mosque minaret” in Switzerland. (3 minutes video clip)

WHAT IF ISLAM IS TRUE...?

This guy is an atheist philosopher on a grand tour, debating with people who believe in some form of religion. He posed this question: “What if Muslims are right; what if Islam is true that we will all go to hell for eternity because we haven’t recognized the Qur’an as the perfect word of God?” (Comment: a very relevant challenge even by an unbeliever. Why gamble with your eternal soul…? What have you got to lose? WHAT IF ISLAM IS TRUE? (2 ½ minute video clip)

What will happen if Islam keeps on growing?

Staggering statistics shows that 68,000 convert/revert to Islam every 24 hours and by 2050; there will be 2.2 billion Muslims in the world. 1/5 of Earth’s populations now are Muslims and by 2050; ¼ it will be and this statistics worry non-Muslims of the possible consequences :-) for the future of the world. 

Quote: They (Muslims) are doing what Christ tells us to do but we are not doing. (3 minutes clip from a Christian channel trying to find ways to counter a fast growing Islam)
