I heard a great lesson today from Chip Ingram. You can hear the lesson by using this link. (Lesson titled: Why a Change in Scenery Rarely Improves the View, part 2)

If you want to hear a lesson of truth, that is honest about the life of Christians check it out. The Prosperity Doctrine can only wither and die when this light of truth is shined on it. You can’t have a resurrected Messiah who gave his own life for sin, 11 apostles who were martyred and one tossed on an island, then tell people Christianity is about earthly prosperity. The greatest figures of the faith have seen much the opposite while here on earth. So go hear the truth.

So I was reading about how a racist named Kenneth Eng was allowed to spew his hatred of Blacks via a San Francisco weekly newspaper named AsianWeek.

First I want to say, that I am glad Asians stood up against that racist and were not afraid to speak out when they saw a racist idiot writing in a publication that targets their demographic. Although a race based publication is inherently bigoted, but I won’t belabor that point in this post.

What I find interesting, is that it took Mr. Eng attacking Blacks for people to actually start speaking out loudly enough for more of us to notice him.

…
Other AsianWeek columns of Eng’s — including “Proof That Whites Inherently Hate Us” and “Why I Hate Asians” — have resulted in criticism. In the first, he complained about the scarcity of Asian heroes in the media. In the second, he described Asian Americans as apathetic, brown-nosing and lacking in cultural pride.
…

Eng has stated in a previous column that he was an Asian supremacist, tossed race bait regarding Whites and even expressed hatred for the people he claims are supreme, because I guess he does not feel they are Asian enough. This guy is a nut job, that was already at full steam ahead by the time he said something about Blacks. I mean being Black myself it’s interesting to see the response when Blacks are attacked, but racists like Eng should be better called out whenever they toss racism, regardless of the race they attack. It seems that everyone is acutely ready to stand up for Blacks. Hey it’s nice to know you care about me, but it’s time folks take a greater stand when racist nuts attack folks other than just Blacks. I’m pointing out racist Blacks here all the time and when some Asian columnist says they are an “Asian supremacist”, that should result in a major backlash. It’s not OK to be racist towards Whites just because they are the current majority, but I think the lackluster response when Whites are the target is why Eng was able to go unnoticed for so long.

I did read a copy of Eng’s entire column. I could not find a source to link to that was not either full of profanity or easy to scroll to, but take my word for it. Eng’s column is all that it’s being claimed to be.

AsianWeek is planning to have a community forum as a result of this, where people can discuss issues of race. I see such forums as nothing more than a type of Jerry Springer show, where everyone goes in and leaves with about the same opinion, but plenty of yelling goes on. If AsianWeek wants to make things better they could simply fire Kenneth Eng. That sends the message loud and clear, if they are determined to be a publication that does not harbor racism. But they allowed this man to spew his other mess and were running his article about Blacks until there was an outcry from Asians. Community forums give publicity to the magazine, while firing someone garners far less publicity although it sends the message. AsianWeek is a name now more of us know and they are doing what will make their name even more well known. I’m not saying that I feel they asked Eng to write the article, but they are making the most of it and didn’t take issue with it until it was the popular thing to do, not just simply the right thing to do.

Hat tip Michael Savage.

update 2/28/2007 10:01AM: Blogger ExpatJane has Eng’s full piece on her blog and a most excellent commentary. She says all that needs to be said about this one. So please check it out.

What politician claiming it’s “Christian” to allow illegal immigration is willing to speak to one of these women about where Jesus wants the men of Mexico to be?

The Wetback Wives website.

Anybody that thinks God wanted men to leave their families in the pursuit of cash is insane. Those people are not starving, otherwise those towns would be EMPTY. Men are leaving their families for an enhanced life, not survival. Chasing the dollar and breaking the law. There is NOTHING Christian about that.

I say no to amnesty, no to illegal immigration and send the illegals BACK HOME.

Well he does know part of his problem.

I recommend Ahmed leave the Jewish hating cult (Islam). It’s obviously not working for him. It’s time he found Jesus. And I’d still recommend the death penalty for this nut! May God save his soul through salvation and may man punish the body he had a problem keeping under control.

The judge had to explain to Ahmed’s attorney why he will not be receiving a reduction in his bond.

…
General Sessions Court Judge Michael Mondelli bound Ahmed’s entire case over to a grand jury. Wing asked the judge to reduce Ahmed’s $250,000 bond, saying the defendant never made any direct statements about wanting to kill anyone.

Mondelli denied Wing’s request. “Sometimes actions speak louder than words,” he said.

How true!

Now this is a story to flip your lid! A Black Muslim sits in a cab with 2 White Christians and starts to celebrate Adolf Hitler killing Jews. The 2 White Christians disagree, the Black Muslim attempts to kill them. As crazy as that sounds, those are the alleged facts of the case involving Music City’s most famous Jihadi, Ibrahim Ahmed. (aka Ibrahim Sheikhahmed.) This was not just a case of a Muslim starting an argument where the Muslim was defending Islam directly. It was an argument where allegedly the Muslim started praising the murder of Jews and was obviously upset the White men were not Nazis, because they disagreed with his view of Hitler and Jews. As I’ve pointed out before, Nazis and Muslims have an undeniable bond when it comes to hatred of Jews, especially regarding Hitler.

Ibrahim Ahmed set off the argument, by saying Adolf Hitler was a good person. Jeremie Imbus testified that Ahmed said, what Hitler was doing was the right thing, because he was trying to rid the world of:

The Jews because they were responsible for the evil and sin. Bad things going on in the world.

Keep in mind, that Ahmed, hater of Jews was a respected member of Nashville’s Somalian Muslim community. It was the White Christians who disagreed with Ahmed. This does not fit the Liberal picture of racism, but the facts show where some racism and anti-Semitism live in America. If you listen to enough Liberals, you’d think down here in the South all White people are racists and White people who come here are probably racists, since they can enjoy living here. Well the White guys were out drinking all night and still didn’t act at all like Mel Gibson.

Check out this video report, that includes some of the actual court room testimony, at WKRN-TV Nashville.

The Tennessean newspaper opens their article with their usually vague “heated discussion about religion” line and you’d almost think they were writing for the defense judging by their headline, but they offer some of the details later in the article.

Hates Jews, check. Tries to kill people who disagree with standard Islamist’s dogma like hating Jews, check. Show a blatant disregard for the law, check.

Now don’t you think the fact that he claims Islam (according to his friends) is an important part of this story? I do, in fact it’s the first CHECK on the list of Muslim radical requirements. However, the Tennessean still refuses to dare say that Ibrahim Ahmed is a Muslim!!! Search their entire site for the words [Ibrahim Ahmed Muslim] and the term Muslim only shows up in the CHAT section. Liberal media? You be the judge.

I guess I’m not to only one who realizes what the Liberals are trying to do over at Digg.com. I never blogged about it here, because I know the truth gets out regardless of efforts to suppress it, but I might as well chime in about it now that others are speaking up.

A while back Michelle Malkin mentioned that while Digg.com was a site with great, potential it seemed Conservative views were not getting much play and encouraged Conservative bloggers to start submitting material there. I jumped in and have been submitting some of my posts, along with other articles I like. While my traffic counters and even the visible responses on Digg indicate that there is a desire for a view like mine to be shared, I’ve noticed that much of my Conservative material disappears from Digg.com. It does not disappear completely, but is “buried” from general viewing. So while people who come to my blog can still “Digg” a post they like, people who enter Digg.com never see it.

Take for example, my post yesterday titled, Muslims Play on “Blackness” to Swell Their Ranks in the USA. Over on Digg.com it currently has 20 Diggs. Most of that came within the first hours after I posted it to Digg.com, but now you can’t find that submission without a direct link, even if you search Digg.com for it, unless you included “buried” articles in your search. (Not the default search setting.) Because somebody does not like when topics like this are discussed. The bury button was indented to help the Digg community filter out SPAM, but instead Liberals use it to filter out ME and other Conservatives. I knew that would probably happen and it seems to be the case with the vast majority of material that I submit. The first couple hours I’m getting Diggs when my submissions have visibility and then they are buried. Given how they’ve done me, I’ve given into the temptation to bury Liberal tripe now and then, but I’ve only done that on a rare occasion, that I could probably count on one (or 2) hand(s).

It seems I’m not the only one noticing this. Hot Air and Little Green Footballs are now all over this, like syrup on pancakes!

Once I wanted to have those who bury my material expose themselves for a little open debate. In a post titled Pro-Gay Lobby Continues to Impress Their Views on Innocent Children, I submitted the post to Digg.com with the following sub-heading:

Will Liberals allow this to have a fair viewing on Digg, or will they try to bury it and hide the truth?

Well this showed who some of the folks are that dislike Conservative views. That submission currently has 15 Diggs and 116 comments, but has been buried. Because the Liberals really disliked me offering a Conservative view of children being pressed to a certain view about a lifestyle their parents and even they through Biblical learning might find morally objectionable. If you read the comments over at Digg.com related to that submission, you’ll see that those who dislike the post feel that anyone who teaches there children the gay lifestyle is wrong is a “bad parent”. Most of America votes against gays wishing to call themselves married and so to some degree an overwhelming majority of America is not pleased with the gay lifestyle. This means most of you reading this are probably regarded as bad parents by Liberal bury police over at Digg.com. Many of them are folks without children themselves, but they wish to tell you that you’re a bad parent if you don’t endorse every lifestyle that they endorse themselves.

Ultimately the Liberals would like to see me banned completely from Digg.com. So far their efforts have failed, as they have with many other Conservative blogs, but that’s not always the case. The bury process is algorithmically based (secret). So if you like a post on my blog, sign up for a Digg.com account and DIGG IT. That will help keep it visible on Digg.com longer. I’ll keep putting the truth out there and here, so long as I am allowed. I am convinced that the Liberals on Digg would enjoy if people like myself were arrested for thought crimes. It’s already happening in other parts of the world and they want to bring it here to America.

update 2/26/2007 6:43PM: Greg at The Political Pit Bull says:

…
Well, before they were just burying them. Now they are marking posts from Conservative blogs as “Spam”. Why? Too many people claim its spam, and the site gets blacklisted. Those liberals, and their fight for freedom of speech….Oh, wait, we’re Conservatives, not terrorists. We don’t get the same rights.
…

Dr. Rusty at The Jawa Report says:

…the tinfoil wearers over at Digg are busy trying to list The Jawa Report as “spam”. …I’ll wear this as a badge of honor.

Well said!

update 2/26/2007 10:11PM: I submitted this post you are reading to Digg and it appears to have received 69 Diggs and 23 comments so far, but has been buried. LGF has 2 post up about this. One has 496 Diggs and is buried, the other has 507 Diggs and is buried. Hot Air’s post about this submitted to Digg.com has 162 Diggs and has also been buried.

The Global Conservative has details of efforts to suppress posts critical of Islam.

Planck’s Constant says “I died in less than 4 hours on DIGG”. I’ve had posts die there in less than 3 hours.

In a previous post, that has appropriately ticked off those who place their skin tone before God, I noted how the House of the Lord, the church should be used exclusively for instruction and worship of the Lord. Not the endorsement of race based teaching. (I focused on Black History Month in that post, because that is a primary source of abuse.) Of course we know churches have always pressed for literacy programs, in order to teach people to read the Bible, but race based teachings stir division in a body that should not play on skin tone.

The truth of telling how we should not play on race as followers of Christ exposes those who feel otherwise and would rather have someone tickle their ears. They like to play on things like placing a race even on angels. White churches with White angels, Black churches with Black angels and so on. They fail to recognize that Jesus told us, that in his kingdom the trivial matters of flesh do not exist.

Paul further clarifies, that when we accept Christ we should no longer play on things like race and should see each other as sons of God.

It is TOTALLY out of line for Christians to walk into a church and isolate based on race.

Well unlike how things are done in Christianity, Muslims have no problem playing on race and it appears Blacks who enjoy having their ears and egos tickled and playing on Black versus White or African versus European are eating up the foul meat from the cult of Muhammad.

That’s the fluffy front, that it’s all about prayer, submission to God and helping the oppressed, but we know these are things Black slaves found in Christianity and helped them find hope for freedom. So we will see the real reason Blacks are running to the lies of Islam below. But I would not put much stock in that 2 million figure above, given we already know about, The 8 Million Muslims Lie!

Now let’s see what really runs Blacks to Islam. Is it really about faith in God? If so, they would have no problem with Christianity. They run to the cult of Islam for other reasons.

…
Many blacks converted during the civil rights era, when Malcolm X helped popularize the Nation of Islam, attracting boxer Muhammad Ali among others. Islam still attracts prominent blacks such as rapper Scarface, a recent convert.
…
At a street-corner mosque in one of Atlanta’s oldest and poorest neighborhoods, a recent Friday sermon illustrated the power of the history of Islam in the United States for blacks.

Men and women sat separately on the mosque floor, heads covered, as cleric Nadim Ali recounted stories from history of Muslim slaves brought from Africa who struggled to uphold their faith in the face of slaveholders’ opposition.

If Muslims could remain true to Islam under slavery, the audience should follow their example, Ali said at the Community Masjid of Atlanta in the city’s West End district.

“You are talking about a people who were cut off from their roots …. Islam reconnects you with Africa and with other parts of the world so your peoplehood transcends race,” Ali said later in an interview.

The mosque has a direct link to a slice of black history. It was founded by H. Rap Brown, a one-time member of the 1960s Black Panthers group. Brown became a Muslim in prison in the 1970s and changed his name to Jamil al-Amin.

He was convicted for killing a sheriff’s deputy in Georgia in March 2000 and is serving a sentence of life without parole, but in his absence the mosque has continued what Ali said was the low-profile work of building a local Muslim community.
…
One recent Friday, Mark King, a new convert, and hundreds of others at the mosque listened to a preacher urge Muslims to seek God through the Koran. Followers of other faiths should seek God through their own holy books, the preacher said.

King, who wears his hair in dreadlocks, converted after visiting Africa for the first time and in Gambia read the Koran and realized its teaching chimed with his own beliefs, not least in fighting injustice.

“For young African Americans, there is some attraction to learning about traditions that have been associated with resistance to European imperialism,” said King, who has adopted the name Bilal Mansa since his conversion.

And so there you have the truth of what is causing a massive swell in the ranks of Muslims when it comes to Blacks. It’s all about fighting Whitey.

Never mind that there is confirmation, that Christianity had taken root in Africa before the false prophet named Muhammad was even born!

And never mind that Muslims were running slaves in East Africa before any Europeans were even thinking about doing it in West Africa. So there is no surprise that West Africa had some Muslim slaves that were traded by those African kings and queens to Europeans.

The truth of the Lord does not need to play on race. It is true and stands on its own merits.

You’ve got to check out this video over at Hot Air.

Maybe we should just impeach Bush? I’d be all for it, if we could ensure that the person put in his place would better handle the war on terror. Instead of helping the enemy become better terrorists.

We knew about Hillary Clinton paying off (my opinion) a company owned by South Carolina mega-church pastor and state Senator Darrell Jackson, Senior for an endorsement. Now it seems 2 more church officials, that just happen to be in SC politics and just happen to run companies that are offshoots of Darrell Jackson’s company have also endorsed Clinton. Well, they want you to think it’s all just circumstantial, but I say they all are dirty and Clinton bought their endorsements. One new player is SC state representative David J. Mack III, who is a lay speaker and Sunday School teacher at Old Bethel United Methodist Church. (Learn more about what a lay speaker does in the United Methodist Church here.) The other is Terry Alexander, also a SC state representative and Senior pastor of Wayside Chapel Baptist Church.

Captain Ed has all the details of the shady transaction and endorsements over at Captains Quarters blog. I don’t see anyone else other than me mentioning that all of these men claim to be officers in churches, 2 are senior pastors running churches. This is not just about shady politics, but also about men who claim high posts in Christian churches. As I mentioned with Darrell Jackson, these men will end up carrying their political endorsements right into their churches. I feel that they will leverage the influence of pulpits, to influence the minds of masses. This is terrible on not just a political level, but also a spiritual level.

Bottom line, they are all Pulpit Pimps undercover. (I guess we could call Mack a lay ministering pimp.)

Hat tip to Terrence who runs a fine blog at Go Pundit Go.

I guess he failed that “are you Muslim enough” test.

Given the guy has been locked up for having an opinion, his assessment of his President is accurate. And given they lock up people who insult Islam there that are Muslim, can you really believe them when they claim to ally with the USA and claim they are friends with a nation full of people who reject Islam?

Robert Spencer has more coverage.

Muslims that notice the mess in Islam should consider a better way, which is to follow Jesus Christ, instead of the false teachings of Muhammad. There is a good web site called Muslims for Christ, that is in English and Arabic.
