  "Whether a 'moderate Muslim' exists depends on how you define 'moderate Muslim'. [Is it one who will never initiate the use of force or fraud? That would make 'moderates' a middling proportion, perhaps 30%-60% based on polls.] Is it one who will never engage in terrorist acts? That would make 'moderates' an overwhelming majority of Muslims worldwide. Or is a moderate one who sincerely disapproves of those terrorist acts? That would redue the number of 'moderates'. Or is a 'moderate Muslim' one who actively speaks out and works against jihadists? That would lower the number yet again. Or finally, is a 'moderate Muslim' one who actively engages the jihadists in a theological battle, trying to convince Muslims that jihad terrorism is wrong on Islamic grounds? That would leave us with a tiny handful. Moreover, it would be silly for anyone to treat 'all conflicts involving Muslims...as the fault of Muslims themselves' [without sorting out who initiated the force and/or fraud vs. those who were acting in defense], or to incite 'war against «Islamophobia» and today's ideological jihad as a whole'..." --- Robert Spencer 2005 _The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)_ pp198-199

  "There has never been a case where someone has achieved something with a lack of confidence.   OTOH, if we develop the courage & exert the necessary effort, even things that might have previously seemed complicated & difficulte will eventually turn out to be very simple & easy.   When you venture into an under-taking, 1st of all it is very important to assess the situation, analyze it, & see whether you will be able to do it or not.   If you find that it is beyond your present ability or capacity, instead of trying to plunge into it immediately, it is better to back off & wait rather than leaving it half done.   But once you have decided to do it, it should not be left half done; you should carry it through to the end." --- Bstan-'dzin-ryga-mtsho Dalai Lama 1994 _The Way to Freedom_ pg 171

"...It turns out that de-radicalization, either in prisons or the centers set up in metropolitan areas specifically for this very purpose, does not work because the great majority of Islamic fundamentalists do not want to be de-radicalized!   Out of the figure of 8,250 (which, surely is a very conservative or misrepresented figure), only 17 submitted applications, and just nine arrived.   Not a single resident in any of these purpose-built centers or prisons has completed the full 10-month curriculum..."

"...In 2014-15, graduation rates at District of Columbia Public Schools, just as they did nationally, climbed to an all-time high.   At H.D. Woodson High School, 76% of students graduated on time; however, just 1% met math standards on national standardized tests linked to the [Communist Corpse] academic standards.   Just 4% met the reading standards.   The low black academic achievement is not restricted to high-school graduates of DC schools.   The average black high-school graduate has the academic achievement level of a white seventh- or eighth-grader.   As such, it stands as unambiguous evidence that high schools confer diplomas attesting that students can read, write and compute at a 12th-grade level when in fact they cannot.   That means they have received fraudulent high-school diplomas..."

Iraqi Christians fear genocide by ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate
"One of the Middle East's oldest Christian communities is on the verge of extinction.     For 2K years, over 1M Christians have called Iraq their home.     In fact, prior to the USA-led invasion in 2003, there were as many as 1.5M Christians living in the country.     But their numbers dwindled as Al-Qaeda's violent campaigns against Christians forced many to emigrate to the West.     Then came ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate.     In 2014 June, the terrorist group steam-rolled through northern Iraq, taking control of Mosul -- the country's second-largest city.     It marked Christian houses with the letter 'N', for 'Nazarene', the Arabic word for Christian.     Churches were burned.     Priests were murdered.     Many Christians fled.     By some estimates, fewer than 250K remain in Iraq.     Many now live in Ankawa, a historically Christian neighborhood in Erbil.     Here most displaced families live in 14-by-8-foot long caravans [RVs, mobile-homes] and survive off of aid provided by churches and NGOs.     The persecution of Iraq's Christians ignited a fierce debate over what to call it.     Last year, at the urging of Christian leaders, the State Department used the term genocide.     So did other foreign governments.     Now, Christian advocacy groups are calling on the United Nations to do the same.     The 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as 'acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group'.     Michael Desch, a professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, says the use of the term carries with it both a historical and legal imperative to act.     'If you start calling something a genocide, it really ramps it up in terms of what you've got to do about it.'   Signatories to the UN treaty on genocide, including the USA, are obligated to 'prevent and punish' the perpetrators.     In 2016 June, UN human rights investigators concluded ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate was committing genocide against the Yazidi people, a religious minority ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate views as devil-worshipers.     The same UN report that found the Yazidis were victims of genocide, concluded ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate did not intend to destroy the Iraqi Christian community.     Andrea Bartoli, international conflict resolution expert at Seton Hall University, says it's very difficult to prove intent.     Andrew Walther, Vice President of Communications and Strategic Planning at the Knights of Columbus, says Iraqi Christians were never offered protection from ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate.     'The push-back was this idea that somehow ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate would allow Christians to pay a tax [jizya]...     as if the hundreds of thousands of people that fled ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate could've just paid $40 a year and lived happily ever after.', Walther said.     Father Emanuel Adel Kallo, a Syrian Catholic priest who negotiated directly with ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate over the fate of the 1K Christians left in Mosul 2014, says offers to pay a tax were a ploy.     'They controlled us.     They could have taken our women, or killed us, or forced us to leave our Christianity and to join their religion.     This is one of the things we refused to do.', Emanuel said.     His fears weren't unfounded.     A price list circulated among ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate fighters for Yazidi and Christian sex slaves was later authenticated by the United Nations special envoy on sexual violence in conflict.     'To say, «these people didn't suffer genocide because they offered this thing that never materialized and was totally mis-defined», is just insult to injury.', Walther said.     In 2016 October, an Iraqi-led coalition launched a campaign to retake Mosul, as well as the surrounding Nineveh province from ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate.     But for many of Iraq's Christians, returning to their home villages is difficult.     'I have no hope that we could live good in Iraq, Iraq isn't going to be stable.', Yousef, a displaced Iraqi Christian living in Ankawa told Circa."

  "[S]tories matter, & matter deeply, because they are the best way to save our lives.   You are the hero of your own life-story.   The kind of story you want to tell yourself about yourself has a lot to do with the kind of person you are, & can become.   You can listen to (or read in books or watch in films) stories about other people...   And out of these make-believe selves, all of them versions of your own self-in-the-making, you learn, if you are lucky & canny enough, to invent a better you than you could have before the story was told." --- Frank McConnell 1979 _StoryTelling & MythMaking_ pg 3

concealing & revealing
"It is a felony to reveal classified information to any person who lacks a classified clearance, as some in the intelligence community have recently done to embarrass, control, intimidate or infuriate the president.   The National Security Agency [maybe NSA+CIA+DHS+DIA+NIS...] employs over 60K domestic spies, but they work in compartmentalized areas.   Thus, not all of them have access to all the data collected by all of their colleagues.     Only about 100 spies have access to the top-secret data that was leaked about the president...     And leaks are a two-sided coin.   Adding to Trump's woes caused by too much revealing is the other side of that coin -- too much concealing.   This comes into play when one has a duty to reveal.   That duty arises from the legal obligation of spies to pass on to their superiors -- and ultimately to the president -- all of the material information they have acquired about America's friends and enemies.   Selectively concealing and revealing this type of intelligence data, thereby manipulating the presidential judgment, when one has a duty to reveal substantially all of it is a form of interference with a governmental function -- namely, the president's exercise of his judgment -- and that is a felony..."

UK government has been subverting self-government, muzzling Christians, siding with Muslims due to their bent toward violence
"...'To say that Jesus is the only God is not a matter of truth.   To the extent that they are saying that the only way to God is through Jesus, that cannot be a truth.' (British prosecutor Ian Jackson)...   The British prosecutor quoted above apparently contends that since criticism of Islam is well known to provoke a violent reaction from the adherents of that religion, anyone exposing them to such criticism commits an offense against public order.   Even aside from the issue of freedom of speech, this contention raises the question of each person's responsibility to keep the peace.   If people were generally permitted to fly off the handle whenever they encounter preferences and opinions contrary to their own, the inhabitants of every human society would soon find themselves living under a rule of silence as strict as any monkish order.   A simple question illustrates the self-contradictory results the British prosecutor's position will entail.   Every day, from mosques throughout the world, neighborhoods resound with the Muslim call to prayer.   One version of that prayer includes words to the effect that 'There is no god but Allah.' [while in the shemaa, Jewish people affirm that 'YHVH Alahinu=HaShem is our God.   YHVH Achad=HaShem is the only one.']   These words convey, in terms of Islam, exactly the sort of sentiment the Bible conveys about God and Jesus Christ.   Will the prosecutor now embark on a crusade to prosecute all the mosques in England that dare, however softly, to proclaim this statement anywhere within the hearing of non-Muslims?   He won't do so.   He's too afraid of a violent reaction from certain Muslims..."

"...Police who rushed to the scene of the murder discovered Von Lauken shot through the head, and soon after found Cummings hiding on the terrace of an apartment building.   He was armed with a handgun that matched the caliber of the shooting, according to investigators.   While refusing to admit he murdered the victim, Cummings did describe his motive.   'On the night in question, what I did do, I didn’t do that for the Islamic State.   I did that purely and solely for the pleasure of Allah.', Cummings told CBS4.   'I give my bay'ah [loyalty oath] to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and I am committed to being a soldier for the Islamic State.', Cummings told CBS4..."

  "The 1st job of law is to provide freedom from violence & the fear of violence that kills civilization at its roots.   Until that job is done, nothing else about a legal system works...   The legal system that developed did not eliminate the 'fury' of brutal men but made it more predictable by substituting public for private violence.   When gov't acquired a monopoly on authorized violence, citizens were better able to anticipate when it would occur & avoid it.   This was called obeying the law." --- Alfred H. Knight 1996 _The Life of the Law_ pg 4

  "When your pineal gland is pulsing out melatonin, it induces the form of sleep known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, during which time vivid & intense dreams, including those of sexual content occur...   Sexual arousal occurs because your brain & your endocrine glands is controlled by the pineal gland & its chemical messenger, melatonin.   The same messenger is also involved in signaling cues that tell us to touch & cuddle, & hence is instrumental in the process we call bonding...   The better we feel about ourselves generally, & about our bodies in particular, the more likely we are to be interested in sex.   Clearly, by maintaining your body in a youthful state, melatonin can help maintain interest in sex." --- Walter Pierpaoli, Wiliam Regelson & Carol Colman 1995 _The Melatonin Miracle_ pg 161
