Try to keep an open mind, as you watch this video, set aside whatever feelings you might have about Pat Robertson, and listen to what this man, Walid Shoebat, says.
In 1978 Walid Shoebat was sent with a bomb on a mission to kill. Hear the truth behind the propaganda from a man who has lived it. Walid speaks on his experiences in terrorist training, how terrorism spreads, and how the West should deal with it.

“…law enforcement officials were secretly searching Mr. Aldawsari’s home, where they said they found chemical lab equipment and read his diary.
In it, Mr. Aldawsari wrote that his enrollment at Texas Tech had given him a type of access to his desired targets, officials said. It also made clear, they said, that he had planned to carry out bombings long before September 2008, when he came to the United States on a student visa.
“And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for jihad,†Mr. Aldawsari wrote, according to court documents.”
The defendant, Khalid Aldawsari, 20, a chemical engineering student, had obtained two of the three chemicals needed to assemble a bomb during the past several months and had sought to buy the third, prosecutors said. He was arrested Feb. 23.”

We must remember this: don’t put everyone in the same box. This is true for those who follow Islam, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna – or those who follow no religion at all.
Regardless of race, religion or gender, we must admire courage, we must support those who fiercely work to show true love to others. We must protect the basic human right to speak freely without fear of violence.
Veena Malik, I salute you. We need more people who have your courage and are willing to speak the truth, and not be intimidated by religious bullies – of any kind.
Local people say there are concerned about health conditions in the migrants' camps
“Boatloads of migrants fleeing fighting in Libya are beginning to arrive in southern Italy, say officials.
The region is already struggling to cope with a huge influx of migrants arriving from Tunisia.
Since January, at least 15,000 migrants have arrived, many of them landing on the tiny island of Lampedusa which is struggling to cope.”
GENEVA — “The U.N.’s top human rights body has replaced its traditional condemnation of religious ‘defamation’ with a resolution underlining the right of individuals to freedom of belief.
The unanimous vote Thursday by the 47-member U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva was welcomed by free speech activists.
U.S.-based Human Rights First praised the resolution as “a huge achievement because for the first time in many years it focuses on the protection of individuals rather than religions.”
Previous resolutions backed largely by Muslim countries had sought to criminalize any criticism of religions that was deemed offensive by believers.”

“The international human rights group Amnesty International claimed Wednesday that a number of female protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square were rounded up by the Egyptian military and tortured recently.
Some women even said they were subjected to a “virginity test” while soldiers looked on and took pictures.
Amnesty said at least 18 different women were subjected to this treatment, first at a military prison, then inside the Cairo Museum.”
“Obama’s bombing of Libya is aiding the jihadists. Confirmation from an unlikely source of what I wrote here. “U.S. Bombs Libya, Helps… Jihadists?!,” by Tim Dickinson in Rolling Stone (of all places), March 21:
America is now at war to protect a Libyan province that’s been an epicenter of anti-American jihad.
In recent years, at mosques throughout eastern Libya, radical imams have been “urging worshippers to support jihad in Iraq and elsewhere,” according to WikiLeaked cables. More troubling: The city of Derna, east of Benghazi, was a “wellspring” of suicide bombers that targeted U.S. troops in Iraq.”
“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.
And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected.
And this I must fight against: any religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for it is the one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system.
Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts.”

“Does that sound like the motto of a nice, peaceful, non-violent, secular organization? President Obama and his national intelligence director James Clapper think so.
But contrary to the perversely rosy assessment of America’s top leadership, the Muslim Brotherhood – the shadowy, transnational Islamist parent organization of al-Qaida and Hamas – is committed not only to filling the growing leadership vacuum in the Arab world, but also, through its many proxies within the U.S, to impose the Quran and Shariah law right here in America.”
“Shariah law is already making inroads in America, from our courts to our financial establishments.
We are also seeing ‘honor killings’ in our suburbs, jihad recruitment in our colleges and our prisons, a proliferation of mosques and Islamic schools funded with Saudi money, and dozens of subversive and dangerous Muslim groups with nice-sounding names masquerading as ‘moderate, charitable and cultural’ organizations.
But their goal is precisely the same as that of the terrorists’ – the ultimate submission of Americans to Islam.”
