Abrahamic Faith: Assassination Of Benazir Bhutto A Sad Loss Or New Beginning For Pakistan?

My friends have asked me of an assessment on the recent situation in Pakistan with the saddened news of the slaying of Benazir Bhutto the candidate for the Prime Minister of Pakistan for the forthcoming elections. Normally, I don’t like to share my opinions of internal Pakistani politics but this time round I have decided to speak. By the way for those who perhaps may not be aware that my friend Jay Smith an American apologist and scholar in Islam did visit Benazir in her flat in London not so long ago to discuss the historicity of Yahushua (Jesus) of the Bible versus the Qur’anic Isa (Arabic name used for Yahushua) so I would say she had a clear cut message of the gospel delivered to her house but sadly died as an unsaved Muslim as far as I know. She was brought up in the echelons of Catholic Convent schools the domain of the rich in Pakistan such as Jesus and Mary convent and later to be educated in Harvard and Oxford. First of all we need to go back to the hay days of her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who had ministers tortured and removed from the administration that he did not like. Our Master Yahushua (Jesus) of Nazareth said ‘do unto others as you would do to yourself’, it would seem that Bhutto did not heed to that advise well later to be imprisoned by General Zia ul-Haq who had him tortured and hanged. Most people are not aware that Benazir Bhutto was removed from Government before by then President Lugari for corruption charges during 1996. Her husband Asif Ali Zardari is popularly known in Pakistani circles as Mr Ten Percent. In other words he allegedly owns what is claimed to be ten percent of Pakistan. He had all sorts of scandals and proven corruption charges levelled against him and have also served eight years jail term. Both Benazir and her husband received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of commissions on Pakistani Government contracts and creamed off what they could to the West buying properties in England, France, and having a large holding in Swiss bank accounts to the tune of 1.5 billion dollars. (My note: Sounds like the George Bush family to me. No wonder the National Review loved Bhutto, claiming that she is “pro – life.” Political conservatism is obviously anti – Christ.) Of course the people robbed were the Pakistanis by these modern day thugs but who would care for the poor Pakistani people after all they are nobody’s and soon people would forget their struggles in life. I would not bemoan the death of Benazir Bhutto because she made many promises to women about repealing the Hadood and Zina ordinances (unfair rape/adultery charges against women). The Hadood ordinance specified that a woman raped must produce four male witnesses as per the Qur’anic law before a conviction can be brought. Can anyone see that happening? The Zina ordinance specified that if an adult male had sexual relations with a woman both being unmarried would either be stoned to death or receives one hundred lashes. Benazir used soft words but did not deliver on any of her promises in the past and neither would now. I remember when she was last in power that young teenage girls were being abducted by assailants in cars raped and then left for dead. The people were fed up of her government until she was ousted. It was in this climate that the Pakistanis were willing to try anything to stop the tide of violence and bloodshed and so they welcomed Nawaz Sharif with an open arm. It was common knowledge that in his steel factory his brother melted a whole Pakistani train for metal and also anyone who would not be a yes sir to these guys would be thrown in the smelting works never to be seen again. We heard many such horror stories that the news would dare not report. It was during Benazir’s last government that the Taliban rose to power largely funded by her government thanks to the US Clinton Administration and governed and orchestrated by the ISS secret service of Pakistan and blessed by the whore of Babylon to fight the soviet union but the Frankenstein Monster turned on the US that help create them. Benazir has been full of broken promises. One may feel the sad loss of a mother to her children but to the nation of Pakistan it is no big loss, the people of Pakistan will overcome this and move forward. The crying you see on TV is largely her supporters and not the whole nation. The Christians in Pakistan did favour her but to be honest I have seen more good done by Gen. Musharraf in Pakistan than any previous government. In my opinion Pakistan needs a steady secular dictator lined up with the West and that is the only way to run that nation. Look what happened to Iran when a secular dictator was removed and then hard Islamic governments came in and today people worry about Iran and a new nuclear threat. (Same thing Ron Paul says. Oh well.) I am afraid Western beaurocrats would never understand why Muslim nations thrive on dictatorships and droop with democratic leaders. (Anyone still support the Iraq War?) Who could have plotted to kill her? Now I have to put my prophecy hat on. The assassination of Bhutto came together like a Bollywood plot straight out of a film play and had to be acted out by the one who was the closest to her body after her death bemoaning her death and citing revenge for her. No, it was not Gen. Musharraf, we can at least accord some respect to the secular dictator to control a country like Pakistan who is a Muhajir (Muslim families who emigrated from India in 1947) and it is believed that this is why the Benazir clan and the elite circles in Pakistan hate Musharraf because they accord third class status to Muhajirs. When Yahushua was crucified the one that betrayed him Judas Iscariot was one also close to him yet was the son of the adversary and likewise many fingers are pointing at Al-Qaeda but they only want to take glory for someone else’s action. Since they did not enact the plan it is easy to take credit for what you have not done but someone else did. It was not Imran Khan either as he is only a small player in politics in Pakistan and the only thing he was capable of doing recently was gathering supporters to incite violence in Pakistan for the alleged shredding of Qur’an and flushing into toilets which brought about the burning and looting of Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets and other Western concerns to vent his frustration at his lack of success. Where is Imran Khan and his holy sentiment when the Bible pages are torn by Palestinians and used to clean excrement in Israel we would never know? Behind this plot is no other but the whore of Babylon, and that is not the US Washington or New York City but Saudi Arabia and guess who came out of the whore of Babylon by her consent and blessings to stand for election and that my friends is the potential murderer. You still did not guess his name? How about Nawaz Sharif. Surprised, none of the world has caught on to that yet. The one who benefits the most out of all this political turmoil is non other than him who belongs to the Muslim League Party, the man that was brought into power last time by Gen. Zial Ul-Haq. This man my friends is a firm advocate for Sharia in Pakistan. It may have happened had he stayed in power long enough last time around but it was not yet time. Did you even remotely think of the possibility probably not? So where does this take up scripturally? Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the set-apart ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of ?????. And having seen her, I marvelled – greatly marvelled! Where are we heading? Gunfight at the OK corral, that is right. Pakistan is being prepared for a take over like the Taliban style government and Nawaz Sharif is the man for it with people in the government in that favour and Saudi Arabia right behind it all. Oh and by the way he is the sort of person who will bring Sharia in through the backdoor. Whether this is the right time for Pakistan to go radical or not only time will tell but so far prophecy has proven conclusive that Pakistan is heading prophetically to line up with the major Muslim nations of the world to help attack Israel and it does not need to go as a Sharia nation to do this. Remember the Anti-Messiah nation hates the desire of women so Benazir was one such woman whose only desire was for self and that was certainly not acceptable by Saudi Arabia. Even the little that Benazir could have done was a threat to the Saudi Muslim society and for all Muslim women in the world would cause anarchy and that could not be allowed to happen by the whore of Babylon. Dan 11:37 and have no regard for the mighty ones of his fathers nor for the desire of women, nor have regard for any mighty one, but exalt himself above them all. One thing is certain that behind Pakistan’s politics is not the US but powerful Muslim nations of the world and Saudi Arabia has had a hand in since the days of the creation of the Islamic Nuclear Bomb when planes full of money used to land in Pakistan to make this happen during Benazir’s father’s government.

Korean Churches Face Internet Attacks During Hostage Crisis

See original link. Evangelical churches in Korea are receiving criticism for sending missionaries to Afghanistan, following the recent kidnapping of 23 church volunteers. In one of the world’s most internet-savvy countries, “cybercitizens” have been building up anti-Christian sentiment by posting up insults to victims and their families on blogs and community forums. Other more extreme and distasteful blogs have been used by some internet users to call for negotiators not to try and seek the hostages’ release, while others have even called for the Korean Christians to be killed. The Korean government and the hostages’ families have appealed to the public not to promote anything that might aggravate the situation, according to the Korean publication Chosun. Despite their appeals, however, a number of internet users have published on web sites that the Koreans went to Afghanistan for missionary work, and not for volunteering, as has been stated. Some have even tried to enflame the situation by saying the Korean missionaries carried out evangelism inside the Middle Eastern country’s mosques. One popular website, DC Inside, was used by some cybercitizens to boast they had emailed the Taliban calling for them to kill the hostages. The website has now attempted to filter out and remove these postings. Chosun has also reported that the official websites of Saemmul Church in Bundang, the home church of the hostages, and Korea Foundation for World Aid have had to close after being inundated with attacks and insults for sending the Koreans to Afghanistan. According to the latest update from The Associated Press, purported Taliban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf claimed Wednesday that one of the hostages had been shot and killed around 4 p.m., and a police official who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation said militants told him the hostage was sick and couldn’t walk and was therefore shot. Some of the 23 Korean hostages, meanwhile, had been freed and were taken to a U.S. base in Ghazni, said two Western officials who asked not to be identified, according to AP. Although the officials did not know how many had been freed, South Korean news agency Yonhap said eight Koreans had been freed.

Taliban: 1 Korean Christian Hostage Killed

http://www.christianpost.com/article/20070725/28600_Taliban%3A_1_Korean_Christian_Hostage_Killed.htm Of course, the media is doing their best to ignore this.

One of the 23 Korean Christian hostages in Afghanistan was killed Wednesday and more would be killed if the demands of the Taliban were not met, said a purported spokesman for the militant group.

A family member of one of the kidnapped South Korean Christians in Afghanistan cries after hearing that negotiations were under way to secure the release of the captives.

“Since Kabul’s administration did not listen to our demand and did not free our prisoners, the Taliban shot dead a male Korean hostage,” Qari Yousef Ahmadi, the alleged news representative for the Taliban, told Reuters by phone from an unknown location.

Ahmadi said earlier that the insurgents would kill “a few” of the hostages before 5:30 a.m. EDT after talks over the fate of the 23 South Korean Christian hostages had stalled. Three deadlines have passed since the Koreans were abducted last Thursday, with the latest being Tuesday 10:30 a.m. EDT.

“The Taliban have lost their patience with it all so they will be killed…because a lot of time has passed since the deadline and there has been no response,” Ahmadi told AP by satellite phone before the news of a first killing was reported. “The Taliban takes no responsibility for the killing.”

The threat came as a surprise to Ali Shah Ahmadzai, the police chief of the Ghazni province where the hostages were captured, who said negotiations were moving in a positive direction.

“I don’t know why they’ve suddenly changed their mind,” Ahmadzai said, according to AP. Several of Ahmadi’s past statements have turned out false or contradicted other statements by Taliban, leading some to question the reliability of his information.

“My message to the Taliban is to use tolerance and be patient,” the provincial police chief said. “This (killing hostages) is against the Afghan culture.”

It has been nearly a week since the group of South Korean Christians was kidnapped while riding in a bus through the Ghazni province – one of the most insurgency-hit regions in Afghanistan – as they made their way toward the southern city of Kandahar.

The 23 South Koreans, which include 18 women, work at an aid organization in Kandahar, said Sidney Serena, a political affairs officer at the South Korean Embassy in Kabul.

Despite accusations that the Koreans were on an evangelistic mission, South Korean president Roh Moo-hyun as well as the senior pastor of the hostages’ home church, the Rev. Park Eun-jo, emphasized that the volunteers were there to provide free medical or educational services with no missionary intentions.

It is illegal to share the Gospel in Afghanistan under the Taliban.

“There are some who misunderstand us but we didn’t attempt any aggressive missionary activities,” said the Rev. Park on Monday, according to the Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh.

“We love Afghanistan and respect Muslim culture. We want to continue our community service work in medical facilities and schools in a way that is desirable to the people of Afghanistan,” said Park.

South Korean Foreign Minister Song Min-Soon, who is currently in Afghanistan for negotiations, said the hostages are held in different locations and had no health problems, according to AP.

The Taliban is demanding for the Afghan government to release a similar number of Taliban prisoners and for South Korea to remove its 200 troops from the country in exchange for the captives.

Thus far, the Afghan government has not agreed to release the prisoners and South Korea has emphasized that the troops will leave Afghanistan by the end of the year as scheduled. It was also noted that the Korean troops are mostly working on humanitarian projects.

Meanwhile, Christians worldwide have been called to lift up prayers for the abducted group.

“We pray that our Korean brothers, sisters and their families will experience a special nearness of God to them and find comfort in the knowledge of His power in their time of anguish,” said the Rev. Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe, the international director of the World Evangelical Alliance.

“We pray for the government officials and kidnappers who are in negotiations, may they agree to a peaceful resolution quickly and allow the hostages to be reunited with their families,” he concluded.

The kidnapping of the 23 South Korean Christians was the largest abduction of a group of foreigners in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.

Did God Tell George Bush To Invade Iraq?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/19/AR2007071901957.html?hpid=opinionsbox1 reminds me of http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/13/AR2005101301688.html. This is one of the SHOCKINGLY FEW mainstream media stories about this, though I would hazard a guess that pretty much everyone has heard about it. Now the fact that no real sport has been made of this in the media shows which side the media is on. Were they to deal with it in any serious way, it would provoke a real theological debate, and that would have forced the leaders of the religious right to take a stand on whether Bush ever received a direct revelation from God on Iraq or any other issue. The result of such a debate would have been the obvious: there is NO WAY that Bush EVER received such a revelation from God (more on that later). But by placing it out there in a manner where everyone would find out about it but so serious examination of it would take place serves the purpose of the anti – Christ media: to make Bible – believing Christians look like fools, fascists, or some combination thereof. And it has worked, see this link: Because Of George Bush, The World Regards Christianity As Evil!

And this better than anything else exposes the utter corruption of the Christian leaders in America, especially those on the religious right. If they were on the Lord’s side, out of a desire not so much to defend the reputation of the church on earth but THE NAME OF OUR GOD IN HEAVEN, they should have openly challenged Bush on this blasphemy. But since no righteous man or woman of God performed the role of a prophet, it shows the apostasy of our churches just as does this article: Do You Go To Church? If So, Why?! (Pay special attention to the fact that only 3% of Christians truly care whether their kids go to heaven or hell according to this survey as compared to 39% wanting their kids to get into a good college.) What demonstrates the apostasy even more so is that the MEMBERS of their churches did not DEMAND that their pastors oppose Bush’s speaking against our Lord.

How can I be so sure that God did not tell Bush to invade Iraq and Afghanistan? It is a simple Bible test, really. (Test Your Bible Knowledge With The Prophecy Quiz! and
The Requirements For The Office Of A Prophet are the types of things that would point you in the right direction.) Some simple ones: prophecy only goes to Israelites (meaning people that are saved). Bush = member of Skulls and Crossbones, pro – abortion and pro – homosexual: see Why Christians Should Not Support George W. Bush, and believes that Muslims worship the same God as Christians do (which is, er, quite a surprise to the Muslims). Add to that Why President George W. Bush Honestly is Not a Christian and it is pretty clear. Incidentally, none of the things in any of those links are secret. They were known to our clergy before he was elected to office, and by the time this “revelation” allegedly came to him, it was obvious that he had not changed! So strike one.

Strike two: things of this nature are only true if established in the mouth of two or more witnesses. Well, was there any evidence of any other Christian hearing a word from the Lord that we should strike Iraq and Afghanistan? If there were, I didn’t hear of it!

And strike three: all revelation must be consistent with prior revelation. For Christians, our completed, inspired, inerrant, literally true, and final authority in all matters – including revelation – is the Bible. It is what by which we can try all spirits by the Holy Spirit, and call anything and everything that does not measure up to be accursed. Now I am not one of those who believes that the Righteous One who shall one day return to make war and overcome the armies of Gog and Magog and those who follow Him are called to be pacifists: see CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO BE PACIFISTS!!! please. But just show me one place in the Bible where God told Christians to start wars of aggression against a nation that did not attack us and was not imminently planning on attacking us (and had no real capability of executing any plan that they did have) but JUST HAPPENED to be MIGHTY CONVENIENT to various domestic and international economic and political aims of his. (Puppet regime? Check. Oil companies? Check. Halliburton? Check. Defense contractors? Check. Re – election? Check. Increased Christian persecution in Iraq and across the Middle East? Check. (And check here too.) Increasing the amount of carnage, disorder, racial and religious tension, fear, and economic/political instability in the world, which in turn makes us more likely to submit to international leadership for “solutions”? Check. Giving illegal immigrants an easy path to citizenship by allowing them to fill Army quotas? Check. Increasing our national debt to China and similar? Check. Sending so many of our best and brightest workers overseas through the “backdoor draft” so we can claim a “labor shortage” that we need to replace with immigrant workers? Check. And boy, those National Guardsmen and equipment sure would have come in handy after Hurricane Katrina, and to fight all of these wildfires, but oh well … check.) I have not seen it in the Bible. Nor have I seen anything in the Bible where Christians have this manifest destiny to go about imposing Christianity, “democracy”, or anything else on a sovereign nation. Have you?

Did God command His people to fight wars in the Bible? Sure. In the OLD TESTAMENT to ISRAEL. But that was in the interests of creating a nation out of Abraham – and defending said nation – that God would use to bring Jesus Christ into the world. After that was done, there was no need to go about putting men, women, and children to death with the sword (or with carpet – bombing campaigns). Of course, a nation has a right to defend itself, and the case can be made that we have an obligation to rise up and stop grotesque human rights abuses (although our next detachment of troops to Sudan to stop the genocide against Christians there will be the first). But it is safe to say that the large scale (or small scale) slaughter of innocents so that occult groups like the Skulls and Bones can exert its political and corporate dominance over the globe is fundamentally incompatible with Biblical revelation, correct?

Now say George Bush had sold all that he had and given it to the poor as Jesus Christ told the wealthy young ruler. Or had he used these “Radio Free Wherever” government radio propaganda broadcasts to pump Christian evangelistic messages across the globe fulfill the Christian mandate to take the gospel to every nation. Or had he proposed a massive wealth transfer program to the poor, or to imposed strict environmental regulations on big business based on Bible verses and doctrines. Now I would not necessarily advocate Bush going and doing those things because they may be taking Bible doctrines out of their appropriate contexts. But in those instances had Bush said that God told him to do these things, we would at least have to consider the POSSIBILITY that God MAY have told him to do so because the claimed revelation would have at least some scriptural basis. But a revelation that IS OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY OPPOSITE TO EVERYTHING THAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND STANDS FOR? That should have made at least SOME CHRISTIANS suspicious.

Well, either we Christians bought into the obvious lie, or we knew it was a lie and failed to speak up and demand that others do the same. Which is it? Either way, it is enough to make you wonder if God is going to hold us to account for our silence on Judgment Day, right alongside those who support or refuse to appose abortion. If you do not feel that such is the case, or if you disagree with anything else that I have proposed, now is the time to make your dissent known and tell me where I am wrong!
