Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  Will Israel Strike Iran?
by W. Thomas Smith
In a recent piece for the Washington Post, Israeli commentator Yossi Melman writes: “No decision to attack Iran has been made in Israel” and it is “a matter of at least one year” before any decision will be made. Melman’s words seem enough to convince the editorial staffs of publications like the Post and the Nation. But sources inside the U.S. intelligence and Defense communities are telling us, there is an increasing “probability” that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) will soon strike Iranian nuclear facilities. The strikes -- if they take place -- will be far more extensive than that which occurred during the strike against Iraq’s Osirak nuclear facility in 1981. The new strikes will target much more than just the nuclear sites. The extent to which America will or will not provide support will depend on multiple variables. And the strikes will not be over in a single night. “To hit the number of targets the Israelis need to hit with their force structure would require several days,” Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney (U.S. Air Force, ret.), former assistant vice chief of staff of the Air Force, tells Human Events. “If they did it in a night -- with, say, 100 airplanes -- they’d probably inflict significant damage to Bushehr and other facilities, but it would be more difficult to hit the deep bunkers at Natanz.” But, McInerney adds, the problems associated with an air campaign that goes beyond 24 hours is “it becomes more difficult politically because you’ve got to have more people complicit in terms of airspace requirements, etc.” Continue Reading>> | | One that calls for a Response
Each week we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  Paul Sperry said: “Dow Jones' dumping of one of its top sharia advisers, Sheik Muhammad Usmani, and licensees, North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), is a welcome setback to the burgeoning sharia-finance industry in America, which forbids investments in key businesses that drive our economy, including financial services, entertainment and aerospace-defense, as well as alcohol, tobacco and pork-related products. It's also a serious blow to the credibility of one of the world's leading sharia-finance authorities, as well as that of America's largest mosque landlord. But the case merely points up the unknown risks associated with Islamic finance. What other sharia advisers are closet jihadists lusting after the blood of infidels? What other Islamic investment funds may be steering money to terrorists with the imprimatur of one of Wall Street's most respected institutions?” (FrontPageMagazine.com 7/9/2008)
God says: “Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit. You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue! The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying, ‘Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!" … “Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. Declare them guilty." (Psalm 5:9-10; 52:1-7).
The Jerusalem Connection says: The attempt by Islamists to impose sharia law is nothing less than financial Jihad and a seditious effort to undermine Constitutional law. Those who oppose these attempts are charged with “Islamophobia.” The goal of these charges is to intimidate any opposition and the suppression of the “free speech” rights that Americans are guaranteed in the Constitution. It’s time we stand up and speak out as Christians and Jews against the mission-creep advocating a “soft Jihad” that would put us all under sharia law.

In the program, the host glorifies a 1978 terrorist attack, refered to as the Coastal Road Massacre, in which Al-Maghrabi and eleven other terrorists murdered a total of 36 Israelis. Al-Maghrabi's sister then salutes the Jerusalem bulldozer terrorist who murdered three people.
