I got this one from one of my uncles, who used to work for Sen. Jesse Helms:

According to Revelations


This is a matter of opinion and opinions are like (well you know) everybody has one.

*******************************


A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.



Pause a moment, reflect back.

These events are actual events from history..

They really happened!!!

Do you remember?

1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.

3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.

4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.

5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.

6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.

7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists. ( remember the pilot of this flight was from Richmond , MO )

8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.

9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.

10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.

11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists.

12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists.

13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists.

Now, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people... Absolutely No Profiling!

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

According to The Book of Revelation:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.

And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in other words an extremist) and in his 40's.

Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???

I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown'


Candidate Obama...
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the


Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story ' Forest Gump' so


Aptly put it,


'Stupid Is As Stupid Does'

Bobby Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan.

"Sirhan was born in Jerusalem[1] to Christian parents and was raised in the Maronite Church. In his adult life however, he made several religious conversions, joining Baptist and Seventh-day Adventist churches, and dabbled in the occult."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirhan_Sirhan

That's just Item #1.

I dub thee chain mail racist tripe.

Just about everyone and anyone could be the anti-christ going by the definitions offered throughout history. Funnily enough nowhere on the wiki page was anything mentioned about the antichrist being a muslim.

The anti-christ is supposed to wear a blue turban that hides a head wound.

Also if you take the Greek spelling of Obama and translate it to Hebrew it will not equal 666 that would be Nero.

Nor in the Bible itself. Even interpreting Revelation symbollically, its still pretty hard to come up with anything that can reasonably be regarded as signifying a Muslim antichrist.

Prior to the ascension of Obama, I dont recall too many Christians talking about a Muslim antichrist. My understanding is that he was previously thought to be Jewish.

Correct me if I am wrong, but there would simply be no way the Christian Bible could have referenced "Muslim" anything, no?

It's a shame all those Christian fanactics don't even read the bible. Wink
I find it utterly hilarious that those claiming to be such devout Christians are so completely willing to ignore it's actual writings and or make up shit that isn't even in there.

That goes for Muslims and the Koran as well by the way.

That's where the Christians have to "interpret" a book they claim needs to be read literally.

Well, except that premillenials believe the Book Of Revelation predicts future events.

Though as I say, I dont see a lot in that book that can be taken as referencing Islam.

You would think a book about the future would just come out and say "there will be this guy named Mohamed and eventually his followers preaching Islam will blah blah blah." But nooooo.

When Canada's finance minister makes predictions about the economy for the coming year, he doesn't shroud it in poetry. He makes very specific claims.

Yeah, its kind of like in Stir Of Echoes, where a ghost from the afterlife appear to Kevin Bacon and gives him a bunch of weird visions to interpret, in order to tell him something that it's of some importance for him to know. Rather than just saying "Hey bud, there's girl's body buried in your house!"
