The painting depicts President Barack Obama standing on a podium while around him are artifacts of his term as president thus far: Osama Bin Laden, a Fort Hood tombstone, a trashcan representing the Solyndra scandal, an unemployed man, toilet humor he used at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and more.

He describes “Obamanation” as representing ”all the subtle, mindless, radical and dangerous atrocities of the Obama administration” in a single painting.

Like all of McNaughton’s works, he has posted his latest image online and made it interactive. Viewers can hover over various elements of the painting and information regarding what it represents pops up. Try it here.
“There are over 60 [symbols] in the painting,” he writes on his website. “No person can analyze this image and learn about these facts and still, in good conscience, vote for Obama in 2012.”
Watch this video to see McNaughton’s development of the piece with voice-over of his thoughts regarding what it represents:

Wait, “insulting”? What did multi-billionaire Rinehart say?
“There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire,” she wrote in an article for an industry magazine.
“If you’re jealous of those with more money, don’t just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working,” she added.
“Become one of those people who work hard, invest and build, and at the same time create employment and opportunities for others.”
Suggesting that those who work harder, tend to get ahead in life isn’t exactly an outlandish assertion.
Rinehart also criticized what she referred to as “socialist” policies that have hurt the poor and recommended Australian politicians to lower the nation’s minimum wage and taxes.
“The terrible millionaires and billionaires can often invest in other countries… maybe their teenagers don’t get the cars they wanted, or a better beach house or maybe the holiday to Europe is cut short, but otherwise life goes on,” she wrote.
“The millionaires and billionaires who choose to invest in Australia are actually those who most help the poor and our young. This secret needs to be spread widely,” she added.
Of course, just like we would expect in the U.S., government officials slammed Rinehart’s anti-tax, pro-growth remarks.
“These sorts of comments are an insult to the millions of Australian workers who go to work and slog it out to feed the kids and pay the bills,” said Treasurer Wayne Swan, adding that Rinehart is incorrect to think that Australians as “lazy workers who drink and socialise [sic] too much.”
But Swan’s attack shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. He’s made a bit of a name for himself by attacking Australia’s mining tycoons.
“Swan has repeatedly attacked Rinehart, coal magnate Clive Palmer and iron ore baron Andrew Forrest for running ‘self-interested’ campaigns against the centre-left Labor government’s taxes on mining profits and pollution,” myfoxdc.com reports.
And Swan is not alone in his disdain for the mining tycoon.
Health Minister Tanya Plibersek said it was “pretty easy for Gina Rinehart to say that people on the minimum wage should get paid less.”
The left-leaning Greens party ridiculed Rinehart for having “accumulated wealth from her family.”
And don’t forget the unions! According to Australia’s mining union, Rinehart’s article was “bizarre” and showed that she held a “dangerous” agenda.
“At the same time as trying to import cheap foreign labour and avoid paying tax, Rinehart claims it’s millionaires and billionaires who are the greatest for social good,” said Australian mining union president Tony Maher.
“What planet is she living on? She should spend less time ranting and more time sharing,” he added.

Australian mining tycoon Gina Rinehart on Thursday was heavily criticized by her government for saying people who want to be successful should stop being jealous of others, “spend less time drinking,” and work harder, myfoxdc.com reports.
Assorted members of Australia’s government called her comments “insulting.”Wait, “insulting”? What did multi-billionaire Rinehart say?

Mitt Romney cast President Barack Obama as a man of grandiose promises he couldn’t keep in his nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday. ”
President Obama has promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family.”
Romney’s acceptance speech hit hard on the “disappointments of the past four years” without making it personal or uncivil, turning the tables and putting President Obama suddenly on the defensive. And after nearly an entire week of Republicans loudly proclaiming “We Built That!” at the GOP convention, Romney finally delivered and told millions of Americans how he plans to build a better future for the nation.
In the rousing finale to the GOP convention, which some analysts said would define his entire campaign, Romney explained that he understands why Obama’s promise of “hope and change” was enticing, but added “there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him.”
Chants of “USA! USA!” broke out early in the speech — and the crowd was loud and rowdy throughout. At times, the chants forced Romney to stop speaking they were so loud.
“I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division. This isn’t something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we can do something. With your help we will do something,” Romney said in a prime-time speech to a nation grappling with an 8.3 percent unemployment rate and a painfully slow economic recovery.
He went on: “Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, ‘I’m an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better. My children deserve better. My family deserves better. My country deserves better!’”prompting the night’s second standing ovation for Romney.
Near the beginning of Romney’s speech, a protester was taken away for causing a scene:
But Romney, undeterred, spoke about American exceptionalism and invoked Neil Armstrong to rev up the RNC crowd.
“The soles of Neil Armstrong’s boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls… like all Americans, we went to bed knowing we lived in the greatest country in the world,” he said, sending the crowd into a frenzy; chants of “USA! USA!” began once again.
Romney also set out to prove that despite the liberal narrative that Republicans are waging a so-called “war on women,” as governor of Massachusetts he chose a woman as Lt. governor, chief of staff and a large portion of his senior officials were women.
“My mom and dad were true partners, a life lesson that shaped me by everyday example. When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, ‘Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?’” Romney said, the standing crowd roaring with applause.
He praised some of the GOP convention’s female speakers, including Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, North Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The Republican presidential candidate went on to tout his successful business record, telling the story of opening his first business and how it went on to be a huge success. He says he will do the same thing as president of the United States.
“When I was 37, I helped start a small company. My partners and I had been working for a company that was in the business of helping other businesses,” Romney said.
He proceeded to explain why his success also meant success for thousands of Americans: “That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons.”
“We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.”
But for too many Americans, he explained, success has been harder to come by lately. This, in large part, is the result of President Obama’s first four years in the White House, Romney argued, again jabbing the president for his now infamous “Hope and Change” 2008 campaign slogan, now regularly mocked by conservatives as a hollow, empty promise.
“Hope and Change had a powerful appeal. But tonight I’d ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama?” Romney asked. “You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him.”
At one point, Romney compared Obama’s first term to former President Jimmy Carter, referring to the struggling economies that both left behind.
“Today the time has come for us to put the disappointments of the last four years behind us,” he continued. “To put aside the divisiveness and the recriminations. To forget about what might have been and to look ahead to what can be. Now is the time to restore the promise of America…In America, we celebrate success, we don’t apologize for success.” Yet another standing ovation ensued.
So, how does he plan to begin the daunting task of restoring the promise of America? He says he’s going to create more jobs, because America needs “Lots of jobs.”
“To the majority of Americans who now believe that the future will not be better than the past, I can guarantee you this: if Barack Obama is re-elected, you will be right,” said Romney.
The Republican presidential nominee then laid out an extremely ambition plan to bring 12 million jobs to the United States. Meanwhile, he said, the president’s plans will outsource jobs and eliminate American jobs.
“And unlike the president, I have a plan…It has 5 steps,” Romney quipped. You guessed it, another standing ovation. Here is that plan, according to Romney:
Influential conservatives immediately began giving Romney’s speech their stamp of approval, some saying he invoked former President Ronald Reagan. That is a compliment in and of itself, but Mitt got a nod from Michael Reagan too, the conservative icon’s son:
Attacking President Obama’s foreign policy, Romney said he has thrown America’s allies, like Israel, under the bus, while he has been “eager to give Russian President Putin the ‘flexibility’ he desires after the election.” But should Romney be elected president, “Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and a little more backbone,” the GOP presidential candidate added.
The back end of Romney’s speech focused on the importance of unity among Americans, and said leaders do not divide people based on race, religion or their party affiliation. He also said, unlike Obama, he will not raise taxes on the middle class.
“Everywhere I go in America, there are monuments that list those who have given their lives for America. There is no mention of their race, their party affiliation, or what they did for a living,” he said. “They lived and died under a single flag, fighting for a single purpose. They pledged allegiance to the United States of America.”
He went on: “That America, that united America, can unleash an economy that will put Americans back to work, that will once again lead the world with innovation and productivity, and that will restore every father and mother‘s confidence that their children’s future is brighter even than the past.”
Romney pledged to keep a strong military, strengthen the country’s reliance on the Constitution and take care of the poor if he is elected president.
“If I am elected President of these United States,” he began, “I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it. And with your help we will deliver it. Let us begin that future for America tonight.”

- Make North America energy independent by 2020 by tapping America’s oil and coal, gas and nuclear and renewables.
- Give American citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow by improving schools
- Forge new trade agreements. And when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences.
- Cut the deficit and put America on track to a balanced budget.
- Reduce taxes on business, simplify regulations, repeal and replace Obamacare

Now, researchers have put the two together. New Scientist reports Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, combined the two technologies in an effort to give immobile patients more independent abilities. Here’s how it works:
The prototype “Flying Buddy 2” uses an Emotiv EEG headset, which as Popular Science points out, is not an expensive piece of mind-reading equipment. This same type of headset was recently featured by other researchers to show its ability to potentially allow for hackers to use ”brain spyware.”

Now, researchers have put the two together. New Scientist reports Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, combined the two technologies in an effort to give immobile patients more independent abilities. Here’s how it works:
The quadcopter’s range of motion is limited by the brain activity that the EEG can pick up. A user can move the flyer forward by thinking “right”, fly up by thinking “push”, and turn clockwise by thinking “left”. Thinking “left hard” tells the quadcopter to take off from the ground. Clenched teeth and blinking both produce a brain signal that the EEG can read, commanding the flyer to descend or to take a picture using the on-board camera, respectively. By default, that camera sends a stream of video back to the laptop, and the user can capture a still of any scene they choose by blinking four times.

Melissa Ohden would have died in a trash bag on an abortion clinic floor -- and Barack Obama would have done nothing to stop it.
SBA List - Advancing, Mobilizing and Representing Pro-Life Women
 | ||
Dear Friend,  Melissa Ohden would have died in a trash bag on an abortion clinic floor -- and Barack Obama would have done nothing to stop it. That's because if an abortion fails, and miraculously the child survives, Barack Obama doesn't believe the child deserves to live. Barack Obama was asked to decide on just that question and he voted NO. You may be surprised to know that children survive attempted abortions more often than you think. And appallingly, as an Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama voted to deny any basic protections for babies born alive from an abortion -- not once -- but four times! Susan B. Anthony list has produced an effective, hard-hitting television commercial that tells the story of how Melissa Ohden that survived an attempted abortion -- and how Barack Obama would have had doctors abandon her. Once you view this heartfelt commercial I hope you will do all you can to ensure that everyone in America hears Melissa's story. That's why I'm asking you to make an immediate contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to the SBA List so that we can share the truth about Barack Obama's record on abortion with key swing state voters across America. Barack Obama's hatred for pro-life policies is truly unsettling and voters in key swing states across America need to know the truth about his anti-life record. Our powerful television ad featuring our friend Melissa Ohden, an abortion survivor, not only tells the story of the evils of abortion... but will also effectively expose Obama's pro-abortion record. In her own words, Melissa shares her story about how she was aborted; her body discarded, and left for dead (the Obama policy) but was rescued by a loving nurse who would not let her die. Is this the kind of "leadership" that we expect to move America forward? Leadership that would discard the weakest among us? Voters need to hear Melissa's story -- because we don't want to live in Barack Obama's version of America where Melissa, who survived a "doctor's" attempt to end her life, would have simply been discarded and left to die. After viewing Melissa's story, won't you please make an immediate contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more so that we can put this ad on the air as soon as possible? Friend, I'm counting on you to take action today. Without your support millions of people may never hear Melissa's story! I hope that after following this link, and viewing our ad, you'll understand just how impactful sharing this message with millions of Americans can be. Sometimes the truth hurts -- and the truth is that Barack Obama has voted not once, not twice, but four times to deny any basic protections that would have granted equal constitutional protection to babies born alive after a failed abortion. I ask myself every day -- if concerned citizens don't take bold actions to stop people like Barack Obama are we any better than him? Are we silently consenting to let people like Melissa die? That's why SBA List has produce this ad and that's why, with your immediate help, we're going to make sure that all Americans see it. Please, we need your help today. Please watch our ad, think about Melissa's story, and take action today. Sincerely,  Marjorie Dannenfelser President Susan B. Anthony List PS: We need voters to hear Melissa's story -- because we don't want to live in Barack Obama's version of America where Melissa would have been left for dead in a trash bag on a clinic floor. | ||

The Rutherford Institute :: TRI Exclusive: Marine Brandon Raub Issues First Public Comments Since Being Arrested, Detained in Psych Ward Over Views, Lyrics Posted on Facebook
The Rutherford Institute :: TRI Exclusive: Marine Brandon Raub Issues First Public Comments Since Being Arrested, Detained in Psych Ward Over Views, Lyrics Posted on Facebook
August 28, 2012
CHESTERFIELD, VA— In his first public remarks since being arrested and detained in a psychiatric ward for posting controversial song lyrics and political views on his Facebook page, Marine veteran Brandon Raub speaks on camera with attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, about the events leading up to his arrest by FBI, Secret Service agents and local police and involuntary civil commitment. Rutherford Institute attorneys secured Raub’s release on Aug. 23 after Circuit Court Judge Allan Sharrett dismissed the government’s case against Raub on the grounds that its petition for involuntary commitment “is so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy.” Since coming to Raub’s defense, The Rutherford Institute has been contacted by military veterans across the country recounting similar incidents. More than 20,000 civil commitments were carried out in Virginia in 2011.
The Rutherford Institute’s interview with Brandon Raub is available here.
“Brandon Raub’s case exposed the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that seems to be targeting Americans—especially military veterans—for expressing their discontent over America’s rapid transition to a police state,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead. “As we are learning, Brandon Raub is not the first veteran to be arrested with no warning, targeted for doing nothing more than speaking out against the government, detained against his will, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys. My fear is that he will not be the last. Truly, these are the kinds of things that take place in totalitarian societies.”
Brandon Raub, a former Marine who has served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, was detained by FBI agents and police officers at his home in Chesterfield County based upon the nature of content posted to his Facebook page in recent months. Like many Facebook users, Raub uses his Facebook page to post song lyrics and air his political opinions, as well as engage in virtual online games with other users. On Thursday, August 16, 2012, police and FBI agents arrived at Raub’s home, asking to speak with him about his Facebook posts. Without providing any explanation, levying any charges against Raub or reading him his rights, law enforcement officials then handcuffed Raub and transported him first to the police headquarters, then to John Randolph Medical Center, where he was held against his will due to alleged concerns that his Facebook posts were “terrorist in nature.” Outraged onlookers filmed the arrest and posted the footage to YouTube.
In a hearing on August 20, government officials again pointed to Raub’s Facebook posts as the sole reason for their concern and for his continued incarceration. Ignoring Raub’s explanations about the fact that the FB posts were being read out of context, a Special Justice sentenced the Marine to up to 30 days’ further confinement in a psychiatric ward and signed a court order for Raub’s involuntary admission to the Veterans Hospital in Salem. In coming to Raub’s defense, attorneys for The Rutherford Institute challenged the actions of Chesterfield County, Va. as procedurally improper, legally unjustified, and in violation of Raub’s First Amendment rights.

On The Front Lines
TRI Exclusive: Marine Brandon Raub Issues First Public Comments Since Being Arrested, Detained in Psych Ward Over Views, Lyrics Posted on Facebook
August 28, 2012
CHESTERFIELD, VA— In his first public remarks since being arrested and detained in a psychiatric ward for posting controversial song lyrics and political views on his Facebook page, Marine veteran Brandon Raub speaks on camera with attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, about the events leading up to his arrest by FBI, Secret Service agents and local police and involuntary civil commitment. Rutherford Institute attorneys secured Raub’s release on Aug. 23 after Circuit Court Judge Allan Sharrett dismissed the government’s case against Raub on the grounds that its petition for involuntary commitment “is so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy.” Since coming to Raub’s defense, The Rutherford Institute has been contacted by military veterans across the country recounting similar incidents. More than 20,000 civil commitments were carried out in Virginia in 2011.
The Rutherford Institute’s interview with Brandon Raub is available here.
“Brandon Raub’s case exposed the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that seems to be targeting Americans—especially military veterans—for expressing their discontent over America’s rapid transition to a police state,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead. “As we are learning, Brandon Raub is not the first veteran to be arrested with no warning, targeted for doing nothing more than speaking out against the government, detained against his will, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys. My fear is that he will not be the last. Truly, these are the kinds of things that take place in totalitarian societies.”
Brandon Raub, a former Marine who has served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, was detained by FBI agents and police officers at his home in Chesterfield County based upon the nature of content posted to his Facebook page in recent months. Like many Facebook users, Raub uses his Facebook page to post song lyrics and air his political opinions, as well as engage in virtual online games with other users. On Thursday, August 16, 2012, police and FBI agents arrived at Raub’s home, asking to speak with him about his Facebook posts. Without providing any explanation, levying any charges against Raub or reading him his rights, law enforcement officials then handcuffed Raub and transported him first to the police headquarters, then to John Randolph Medical Center, where he was held against his will due to alleged concerns that his Facebook posts were “terrorist in nature.” Outraged onlookers filmed the arrest and posted the footage to YouTube.
In a hearing on August 20, government officials again pointed to Raub’s Facebook posts as the sole reason for their concern and for his continued incarceration. Ignoring Raub’s explanations about the fact that the FB posts were being read out of context, a Special Justice sentenced the Marine to up to 30 days’ further confinement in a psychiatric ward and signed a court order for Raub’s involuntary admission to the Veterans Hospital in Salem. In coming to Raub’s defense, attorneys for The Rutherford Institute challenged the actions of Chesterfield County, Va. as procedurally improper, legally unjustified, and in violation of Raub’s First Amendment rights. On August 23, Circuit Court Judge Allan Sharrett declared the government’s case to be lacking in factual allegations and ordered Raub immediately released.
Anthony Troy and Brian Fowler, attorneys with Troutman Sanders LLP, were instrumental in assisting The Rutherford Institute to secure Raub’s release.

Democratic National Convention to Host Islamic Jumah Prayers with Jibril Hough, Siraj Wahhaj | Video | TheBlaze.com
Democratic National Convention to Host Islamic Jumah Prayers with Jibril Hough, Siraj Wahhaj | Video | TheBlaze.com
When an imam like Siraj Wahhaj says “it his duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the US Constitution with the Quran…we need to speak up!” Dr. Jasser reiterated in response, adding that Americans “should be concerned” if this is who the DNC is “consorting with.
Watch the promotional video via the Bureau of Muslim Affairs, which claims it is hosting the event “at the Democratic National Convention.”
The first two minutes are rather dry, but around 2:04 a muezzin sings the call to prayer with an American flag background, and the video “picks up” considerably:
Up to 20,000 people are expected to attend the Friday prayers and Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), said the purpose of the event is to hold political parties accountable for the issues faced by Muslim-Americans.
In particular, the event will target the Patriot Act, the NYPD, the National Defense Authorization Act, and anti-Shariah sentiment.
And while Muslim-Americans undeniably face distinct challenges, those who are well-informed on the dangers of radical Islam are expressing their doubts.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the Founder and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, wrote:
The mosque of Jibril Hough, mentioned by Dr. Jasser, is owned by the North American Islamic Trust, which was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial as one of the entities “who are and/or were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.”
Siraj Wahhaj, the “Grand Imam” for Jumah at the DNC, is often considered a “moderate” because he was the first Muslim to give an invocation in the U.S. Congress, but as Robert Spencer notes, he has a number of troubling ties to dangerous radicals. In the early 1990′s the man reportedly sponsored talks by “the Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman in New York and New Jersey mosques, and told his followers that the United States will fall unless it “accepts the Islamic agenda.”
Wahhaj elaborated, according to bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel, to say: “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.”
He continued: “Take my word. If 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”
When an imam like Siraj Wahhaj says “it his duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the US Constitution with the Quran…we need to speak up!” Dr. Jasser reiterated in response, adding that Americans “should be concerned” if this is who the DNC is “consorting with.”
Robert Spencer speculates that the Democrat National Committee is simply so “in thrall to multiculturalism” that “few, if any” are even aware of the radical connections.
“To raise any concerns about such a speaker would be ‘Islamophobic,’ violating every rule of the anti-American, anti-Western ethos that prevails among so many Democrats today,” Spencer writes.
He concluded: “There is about as much chance of that as there is of the Democrats ditching Obama and nominating David Horowitz as their candidate for President of the United States.”
*The “Charlotte in 2012” page was established by the city of Charlotte to help coordinate the DNC. It advertises itself as “the official location for all the latest news, information and ways to get involved.” It is also the official website for the host committee. Additionally, all events listed on the site have to go through an approval process.
UPDATE:
Though Cardinal Dolan was originally not going to speak at the DNC, on Monday it was announced that he will now be giving the closing prayer.

DNC Proceeds With 2-Hour Islamic ‘Jumah’ Prayers (And You Won‘t Believe Who’s Invited)

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the Founder and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, wrote:
The leaders of this event – Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj [are not] moderates. They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and have demonstrated support for radical ideologies.
A quick Google search by the DNC would have shown them that Hough and Wahhaj are leaders in the separatist American Islamist movement. While they may be able to get a few thousand Muslims to attend the event, they are NOT going to be mainstream Muslims. Most will likely come from Hough and Wahhaj’s radical networks that have long been entrenched in the Charlotte area. Make no mistake they are part of the Islamist movement.
[...]
Their jummah (group) prayer is…about empowering their Islamist and MB sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas.

ISGH: Imam Isa Parada Islam teaches us that if we kill one person it is as if we killed all of humanity, while saving one person is like saving all of humanity.
Islam teaches us that if we kill one person it is as if we killed all of humanity, while saving one person is like saving all of humanity. This lesson demonstrates the true spirit of Islam, which is peace and helping others. We must not forget that we will be judged by God for our transgressions. When we accept Islam fully it means we seek peace and justice, not mischief and destruction.
ISGH: Sheikh Omar Inshanally - To be fair, I shall add this Sheikh speaks of Peace vs. The Militant Islamists.
I know much of the militants, violence of Islamic groups through out the world, the actions of these groups can be found most anywhere, but therelgionofpeace.com shows the opposite of what I find Sheikh Omar Inshanally speaks of here. It is good to see those of Islam who talk of peace vs. Jihad. I invite others who feel as most Christians do, we want peace and the freedom to choose what / who we shall follow as to our God, Creator, Father in Heaven as I know him to be. With out forcing anyone to conform to anyone else's beliefs. It should be allowed to join any faith, as the Creator states his gift to all humanity is the Gift of Free Choice, our agency to choose good or evil, light or darkness as each person chooses.
So having found a positive member of Islam who speaks of peace I have chosen to added it here.
And links to his http://www.isgh.org/study_circle.aspx if you so desire to learn more of them.
I must keep reservation as the world of islam has declared jihad against my country & faith & family. Thus I would hope those of their faith would call an end to the violence taking place upon the world at this time in the name of Islam, Jihad, calling for the exterminations of Israel and America.
Time will tell, and so will history the truth of these matters.
God Bless the Republic of America, and all Humanity who seek only peace and understanding for all.

The Rutherford Institute - has defended the constitutional rights of thousands of people.
The Rutherford Institute
Since 1982, The Rutherford Institute has defended the constitutional rights of thousands of people. Many of these cases involved the defense of parents' and students' rights, free speech rights, and privacy rights. Most cases were settled out of court, some were fought in courtrooms across the country, and several were appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. No matter what legal question was involved or how much attention the case received, each case has been equally important. As John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, has said, "All freedoms hang together. To defend one constitutional freedom is to defend them all, and to defend one person's constitutional rights is to defend those rights for everyone." The following is a sampling of recent and ongoing key cases in The Rutherford Institute's 20-year history.

Rutherford Institute attorneys are challenging Raub's arrest and detention on the grounds that the detainment order was procedurally improper, the result of an unlawful detention, and was based entirely on statements made by Raub that constitute protected free speech under the First Amendment.

 | The TSAIn an attempt to secure American air travel, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented an intrusive policy of scanning travelers with Whole Body Imaging (WBI) devices which allow them to observe an image of passengers' nude bodies to search for restricted items. If a traveler chooses to opt-out of this security measure, he is subjected to an invasive pat-down. The TSA whole body scanners are indicative of a larger climate of increased surveillance and policing directed toward innocent American citizens.

Dr. Eowyn: British National Archives Show A Son Was Born To Obama Sr. In 1961 In Kenya
Dr. Eowyn: British National Archives Show A Son Was Born To Obama Sr. In 1961 In Kenya
The [British] National Archives (BNA) is an executive agency of the government of the United Kingdom. Based in Kew in southwest London, the BNA is the UK government’s official archive, containing 1,000 years of history from Domesday Book to the present, with records from parchment and paper scrolls to digital files and archived websites, including Foreign Office and Colonial Office correspondence and files. The collections held by the BNA can be searched using their online catalogue. Entrance to the Archives is free.
On April 18, 2012, the BNA released the first batch of thousands of “lost” colonial-era files believed to have been destroyed, including files on Britain’s former colony of Kenya. Reporters at the UK’s The Guardian were among the first who looked at some of the newly released colonial files. They found that the name of Barack Obama (henceforth, Obama Sr.), the father of the POS in the White House, is on the top of a list of names revealed in a hitherto secret British colonial file of Kenyans studying in the United States.
But it’s not just UK journalists who can access the British National Archives; anyone can. In May 2012, someone conducted a search of the Archives using the search term “Obama” and found that an unnamed son of Obama Sr. was born in Kenya in 1961. Since the POS in the White House is the only known son of Obama Sr. born after 1960 and before 1963 when Kenya became officially independent from the UK, it is reasonable for us to conclude that the POS is that unnamed son of Obama Sr. born in Kenya in 1961. And in fact, the claimed birth date of the POS is August 4, 1961.
Below are excerpts from Dan Crosby’s on-site report from Kew for The Daily Pen, “Obama’s Kenya Birth Records Discovered in British National Archives,” July 18, 2012:
Evidence discovered shows British Protectorate of East Africa recorded Obama’s birth records before 1963 and sent returns of those events to Britain’s Public Records Office and the Kew branch of British National Archives. [...]
It now appears the worst fears of the U.S. Constitution’s framers were well founded as investigators working on behalf of the ongoing investigation into the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama have found yet another lead in a growing mountain of evidence within the public records section of the British National Archives indicating the occurrence of at least four vital events registered to the name of Barack Obama, taking place in the British Protectorate of East Africa (Kenya) between 1953 and 1963, including the birth of two sons before 1963.
Recall, investigative journalists working for Breitbart.com have already discovered biographical information published by Barack Obama’s literary agent in which he claimed he was born in Kenya. Prior to Obama’s ensconcement to the White House, many international stories also stated that Obama was Kenyan-born as did members of Kenya’s legislative assembly. Since then information on Obama’s ties has been curtailed by government officials as the Obama administration has coincidentally paid nearly $4 billion dollars for capital projects in Kenya.
Also, the presence of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, cannot be accounted for from February, 1961, the alleged month of her marriage to Obama, until three weeks after the birth of Obama II in August, 1961 when she allegedly applied for college courses at the University of Washington. Theories about her whereabouts have included that she participated in the Air Lift America project as an exchange student and traveled to Nairobi as one of many recent high school graduates (see AASF Report 1959-1961).
The record of birth of a second son prior to Kenyan independence is significant because biographical information about Obama’s family indicates Obama Sr. fathered only one other son prior to Obama II’s birth.
The books containing hand written line records of vital events attributed to Obama [Sr.] are contained in Series RG36 of the Family Records section in the Kew branch of the BNA. The hand written line records first discovered in 2009, indicate several events were registered to the name Barack Obama (appears to be handwritten and spelled “Burack” and “Biraq”) beginning in 1953 and include two births recorded in 1958 and 1960, a marriage license registration in 1954 and a birth in 1961. Barack Obama [Sr.] is said to have died in 1982 and had married at least once more in Kenya and had at least one more child in 1968, but no record of these were found in the BNA because, according to the Archives’ desk reference, the events occurred after Kenya achieved independence from British colonial rule in 1963.
To date, Barack Obama II is the only known alleged son of Obama Sr. born after 1960 and before the independence of Kenya became official in 1963.
A request for information from the BNA on the specification of birth information contained in the series of thousands of logs indicates that only vital events registered in Kenya’s Ministry of Health offices were recorded in the registration returns and were placed in the National Archives care before they reached 30 years old (the law was amended to 20 years after creation in 2010).
The line records do not specify the identity or names of the children, only gender. However, the line records are associated with index numbers of actual microfilm copies of certificates, licenses and registration applications filed in the archives. According to researchers, Obama [Sr.]’s line records were discovered in Series RG36, reference books. Not surprisingly, when researchers specifically requested access to the relevant microfilm for the Obama [Sr.] birth registrations, they were told that the records were currently held under an outdated “privileged access” status, meaning researchers were denied access under Chapter 52, Sections 3 and 5 of the British Public Records Act of 1958.
However, evidence shows these records were available for public access before August of 2009, the approximate date of arrival of Hillary Clinton in Great Britain during her trip to Africa that year.
