![]() | Fox News Trashes the Netherlands EDIT- NOTICE OF NON-INFRINGEMENT: THIS SHORT CLIP FROM FOX NEWS WAS UPLOADED FOR "FAIR USE" PURPOSES OF ANALYSIS/CRITICISM ON A PUBLIC ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM I PROVIDED BELOW, UPLOADING THIS SHORT CLIP ALLOWED HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO COMMENT AND CRITICIZE, INCLUDING MANY FROM THE NETHERLANDS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THIS CLIP AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS IMPORTANT DEBATE. In part of a special series on the secularization of Europe, Fox News ran this segment trashing the Netherlands. The clip uses Fox News's frequent method of attributing its judgments to "some observers" and "people." One such quote from about halfway through the segment: "They have become what some observers say is militantly secular, ridiculing anyone who holds religion as important and shunning all public displays of faith." And be sure to stay tuned for this quote at the end that typifies the Fox News approach: "After euthanasia and infanticide, the next move in the Netherlands is probably a suicide pill, not for those who are terminally ill, but just tired with life. While it hasn't been legalized and is probably still several years off, people are already talking about the idea." Notice how this last assertion that "people are already talking about the idea" is self-authenticating... |
![]() | THE OTTOMANS(OSMANLI) IN 2008!!A MUST SEE WONDERFULL!! they exist! ISTANBUL'S SOLDIERS!!Ottomans exist again to give Justice all around the World!!to save people's life for only Allah's love!!Allahu Akbar!! YEAH REAL OTTOMANS!!!WE ALWAYS EXIST IN HERE ALLAHU AKBAR!! Only afraid of Allah!We can not be Stopped!!This is ISLAM!!Enemy of Islam WATCH THIS! The Ottomans are one of the greatest and most powerful civilizations of the modern period. Their moment of glory in the sixteenth century represents one of the heights of human creativity, optimism, and artistry. The empire they built was the largest and most influential of the Muslim empires of the modern period, and their culture and military expansion crossed over into Europe. Not since the expansion of Islam into Spain in the eighth century had Islam seemed poised to establish a European presence as it did in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Like that earlier expansion, the Ottomans established an empire over European territory and established Islamic traditions and culture that last to the current day (the Muslims in Bosnia are the last descendants of the Ottoman presence in Europe). The Ottoman empire lasted until the twentieth century. While historians like to talk about empires in terms of growth and decline, the Ottomans were a force to be reckoned with, militarily and culturally, right up until the break-up of the empire in the first decades of this century. The real end to the Ottoman culture came with the secularization of Turkey after World War II along European models of government. The transition to a secular state was not an easy one and its repercussions are still being felt in Turkish society today; nevertheless, secularization represents the real break with the Ottoman tradition and heritage. We will start with the greatest figure of Ottoman history, the Sultan Suleyman, who built from the conquests of his father a great city, military machine, empire, and culture. No culture seems to invite such a total association of the entire history and greatness of the culture in a single individual as Ottoman culture does. This is not just a European prejudice; Muslims themselves can hardly resist the temptation of summing up the whole of Ottoman culture and history in this brilliant and dignified human being. For very few figures in history encompassed so much of their culture, and very few near-mythical figures have left so much of their humanity to posterity. For Islam produces an odd relationship between individuals and history. The inherent dignity and perfectibility of humanity in Islam tends to produce mythical figures like Suleyman who seem to master every human art; but the spiritual egalitarianism of the religion also leads to a surprising humanisation of these mythical figures. Sit back and prepare yourself for a tour of one of the great flowerings of human genius, dignity, and cultural creativity. |
![]() | Tyrants and Mind Control VIDEO Seattle Creation Conference August 23-25 2007 http://conference.nwcreation.net/index.html The fourth annual Seattle Creation Conference was a three day event dedicated to glorifying God through the scientific study of His creation, and refuting the false claims of evolutionism. The presentation is a hard-hitting look at the War of Worldviews facing Christians today, and examines the factors that have contributed to the secularization of US schools. In 1 Peter 3:15 we are instructed to "Always be prepared to give an answer," and yet most Christian are unable to defend their faith through logic, reason, and empirical evidence. Using recent surveys and events to demonstrate the effects of evolutionism on society, this message will inspire those who attend toward scholarly pursuits in creation apologetics. Also contained within this presentation are numerous illustrations of beauty and wonder made evident through the electron microscope that offer a testimony to the glory of God, but which hasn't been seen until modern times. With evolutionary indoctrination reaching epidemic proportions, these previously unseen treasures provide valuable tools for creation evangelism. Topics Include: 1. The Creation 2. Electron Micrographs - Evidence of Design 3. Discrimination of Creationists in Public Schools 4. War of the World Views 5. Percentages of Scientists that Believe in God 6. The National Academy of Sciences 7. The Secularization of US Schools and its Impact 8. The Decline of Christian Scholarly Pursuit 9. The Bible and Education Recently I [Ken Ham] read an article in Current Comments, by Gerald Hoiton, Professor of Physics and Professor of History of Science at Harvard University. In this article. Professor Holton used the term "anti-science" as an attack on creationists. He lumped creationists in with those who study UFO's, paranormal phenomenology, New Agers, etc. In the rest of the article, creationists and anti-evolutionists feature prominently as an obvious danger to society. Professor Holton offers practical ways to overcome this situation. He is advocating taking children at an early age and totally indoctrinating them in what he calls, "conventional science" (which is nothing more than atheistic evolutionary philosophy), and making sure that those who educate them have passed through the same indoctrination process. This is nothing less than absolute mind control. - http://www.icr.org/article/730 |

Introducing the Open Forum 2008 With André Schneider, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, World Economic Forum Thomas Wipf, President of the Council, Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches, Switzerland The Comeback of Religion: A Potential Danger for the Secular State? Secularization was a decisive step towards peaceful cohabitation of different religions in Europe. However, not every religion considers the separation of state and religion as a natural course of action. For example, Islam is a unity between the sacred and profane spaces of society. Thus, Islamic states claim that the state represents Islamic communities and that state law is rooted in religious law. 1) How can states in Europe guarantee religious plurality and freedom while simultaneously maintaining their own way of life and culture embedded in Christian values and traditions? 2) How does Islam see the relationship between state and religion? Are there any repercussions on the cohabitation of different religions in secularized states? 3) Does Islam face a similar question to the one Christians have intensely struggled with since Enlightenment, namely, recognition of a separation of state and religion?
