ROBERT SPENCER: What is repulsive to us and what is morally repugnant to us is a marketing tool for them.

The speaker is Robert Spencer.  His Twitter feedRobert Spencer books.

The Quranic imperative is to fight until religion is all for Allah.  The Quranic imperative is to subjugate the Jews and the Christians and other people of the Book under the hegemony of the Muslims and make sure that they feel every day the wrath of Allah as is the Muslims responsibility to execute on this Earth.  And these are fundamentally theological concepts.  So when our Administration says, "Islamic state has nothing to do with Islam," they are cutting themselves off from the only thing that makes coherent what they are doing.  

Finally Chapter 33, Verse 50, "O prophet, we have made lawful for you your wives whose bridal dues you have paid and the slave girls you possess from among the spoils of war."  So this makes it very clear that these are women who'd been captured in war.  And they are non-Muslim women and it is well delineated in Islamic theology that a man can have as many as 4 wives and also these sex slaves that are non-Muslim women that've been captured in war.  This is exactly what the Islamic State did.  And note also, that the Islamic State didn't make this up.  The Islamic State did not originate this.  The Nigerian group Boko Haram, well before the Islamic State did it, also captured a number of non-Muslim women and was doing exactly the same thing.  And remember Michelle Obama had the #bringbackourgirls?  That was about Boko Haram in Nigeria.  Same thing. Because they're both working from the same Islamic principles that are in the Quran.  What is repulsive to us and what is morally repugnant to us is a marketing tool for them. Young Muslims see this.  They read the Quran.  They know what's in it.  And so they see the Islamic State doing this, the beheadings, the sex slavery, the rest of it, and they think, "At last, authentic Islam.  We now see somebody actually doing with the Quran says instead of bowing to the opinion of the infidel westerners and saying no, no, no, we must not do that." And so they've made recruits, 30,000, as I said. 30,000 Muslims from around the world have gone to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State because they read the same Quran.

BASIL THE GREAT: 🚨ARGENTINA STARTS TAKING DOWN MURALS OF CHE GUEVARA. The world is healing

HENG HE: The Chinese military, Heng explains, is different from armed forces in the rest of the world. It’s ruled by the Chinese Communist Party and its primary function has been to protect the Communist Party—not to fight wars overseas.

“Even if you follow Xi Jinping, you still will be purged. So the hidden rule is broken. I think that will be the end of the whole system,” says China analyst Heng He. 

With the recent purges of two top military generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, five of the seven members of China’s Central Military Commission have effectively been purged or removed. Only two remain, one of which is Xi Jinping himself. 

Zhang Youxia is known to have been a longtime ally of Xi Jinping, but was purged nonetheless. 

The CCP, like a mafia, is governed by unwritten rules. Now, Xi Jinping has broken all the CCP’s hidden rules, He says. “Now nobody knows whom to trust,” and that’s a big problem for the CCP. Xi has essentially purged the two remaining generals with actual battlefield experience. 

The Chinese military, Heng explains, is different from armed forces in the rest of the world. It’s ruled by the Chinese Communist Party and its primary function has been to protect the Communist Party—not to fight wars overseas. 

The CCP’s leaders, he explains, depend on the protection of the military, but at the same time they do not trust the military: “They are afraid that they will turn the gun to the wrong side.” 

But, in order to conquer Taiwan which, Heng tells me, is Xi’s lifelong dream, the generals must be put in full control: “Xi Jinping cannot fight himself, right? He has to give the command to the military leaders. That means the military has the power to turn the gun backwards.” 

With the removal of General Zhang Youxia—who appears to have opposed Xi Jinping’s views on an invasion of Taiwan—Xi removed an obstacle - but at what price? 

“The chain of command in the military is totally broken…This never happened in the history of communist rule,” he said.

3:13  Also, the chain of command of th emilitary has been broken.  That means the military cannot fight.  Another is that the chinese military is different from the rest of the world.  It belongs to the Party, it does not belong to the people or the state or the government or any state.  So they belong to the Party.  It's a Party-ruled military.  So the military design is totally different.  It's designed to protect the CCP's rule to protect the regime, not fight overseas wars.  So the military basically is design that way they don't have even the soldiers and the guns have no bullets in them because they are afraid that they will turn the guns to the wrong side turn their guns at the party so that's the design

DAN BURMAWI: If Christianity goes, it does not go alone. With it goes everything it produced and then secularized: human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, limits on state power, the idea that rulers answer to something higher than themselves.

What makes a king and a homeless man equal? Nature does not, power does not, history does not. Only one idea does: that both are made in the image of God. --Dan Burmawi

from Dan Burmawi,

Christianity in the West is not just another religion. It is the moral infrastructure of the civilization. And the atheists who can’t wait to see it disappear will one day regret their contribution to pushing it out, just as their master, Dawkins, did last year. If Christianity goes, it does not go alone. With it goes everything it produced and then secularized: human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, limits on state power, the idea that rulers answer to something higher than themselves. These did not fall from the sky. They were not discovered by pure reason. They were not produced by biology or evolution. They were born from a worldview. What makes a king and a homeless man equal? Nature does not, power does not, history does not. Only one idea does: that both are made in the image of God. What about freedom of speech? Why should anyone be allowed to say what they think? Because in the biblical worldview, conscience belongs to God before it belongs to the state. Because truth is not created by authority. That is not Greek philosophy, or Roman law, or modern science. That is Judeo-Christian theology translated into politics. What about limited state power? Why shouldn’t the state control everything? Because in the biblical model, the state is not divine. It is not sacred. It is not the source of morality. It is restrained because God stands above it. Remove God, and the state has no ceiling. So when people say:“Human reason produced these values,” they are confusing inheritance with invention. You did not invent them, you were born into them. Societies that abandon Christianity keep the language of rights but lose the substance. They still say “human dignity,” but they can no longer explain why humans have it. They still say “freedom,” but they redefine it as appetite. They still say “equality,” but they replace it with grievance. When we defend Judeo-Christian principles we are defending the moral architecture of the West. A society can survive anything except the destruction of its moral foundation. Those who cheer the death of Christianity believe they are freeing society. In reality, they are removing the load-bearing walls. And when the roof collapses, they will discover too late that what they hated was what was holding everything up.
