President Obama made his infamous submission speech to the Muslim world at Al Azhar University back in June 2009. President Obama invited the then-banned Muslim Brotherhood to hear his speech.
Obama described Al-Azhar University this way: “For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt’s advancement.”
Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, is issuing these genocidal edicts and calling for homicide bombings.
Why doesn’t Obama ever comment about these historical events? He will comment on the most mundane things, but on the monstrous persecution of minorities, not. a. word. FPM has this:
In 2009, Barack Obama spoke at Al-Azhar and declared, “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam — at places like Al-Azhar — that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment.”
In 2012, Dr. Abdul Hamid al-Atrash, the head of the Fatwa Committee of Al Azhar in Egypt, which issues rulings of Islamic law, declared that Jews could be banned from going to pray in a synagogue.
Al-Atrash says that as long as Muslims cannot travel to Jerusalem while it is in Jewish hands, then Muslims have the right to bar Jews from visiting their own holy places, under the Islamic concept of “reciprocity.” Therefore, he says, Egyptian authorities have the right to ban Jews from going to the Alexandria synagogue on Rosh Hashanah.

Sydney, Sept. 9 (ANI): Taliban insurgents are posing as ‘attractive women’ on Facebook to become friends with coalition soldiers and gather intelligence about their operations.
The dangers of using social media sites have been revealed in a federal government review of social media and defence, which was finalized in March, Australian defence sources said.ustralian soldiers are being given pre-deployment briefings about Taliban insurgents’ plans of creating fake profiles to spy on them.
According to news.com.au, personnel have also been warned that geo-tagging, a function of many websites that secretly logs the location from where a post is made or a photo is uploaded, is a significant danger.
The review has warned troops to be aware of fake profiles which enemies create to gather information.
The report said that as many as 1577 defence members surveyed for the review had no awareness of the risk, adding 58 percent of the staff had no social media training.
“Most did not recognise that people using fake profiles, perhaps masquerading as school friends, could capture information and movements. Few consider the possibilities of data mining and how patterns of behaviour can be identified over time,” the report said.
The report warned that family and friends of troops are also inadvertently jeopardizing missions by sharing confidential information online.
According to the report, three Australian soldiers were this month murdered inside their base, allegedly by an Afghan Army trainee. (ANI)

Bible Study…. Origin of Left & Right…
I have often wondered why it is that
Conservatives are called the “right”
and Liberals are called the “left.”
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
“The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the
heart of the fool to the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:2(NIV)
Thus say-eth the Lord. Amen.
Can’t get any simpler than that.
and now for a Spelling Lesson——-
The last four letters in American……….I Can
The last four letters in Republican…….I Can
The last four letters in Democrats………Rats
End of lesson. Test to follow in November, 2012.
