NOTE: We will go to Florida in the morning. I may be missing here for a couple days....
WHY?
Why are people in the public eye said to be 'in the limelight'? Check the end of the blog....
Yes, I did think of 9/11
yesterday. I did think of radical terrorists of the Muslim Religion. A
religion that in this day and time operates under their Sharia (?) Law is
questionable. I realize that religion is
slowly morphing into the mainstream of the world, but not fast enough to suit
me. I saw an incident filmed by a Pakistani in Pakistan on his phone, down town
on a main street. An Iman called a woman over whose face was uncovered and
forced her to kneel and ask for mercy. After a long public tongue lashing to
her and the crowd, she appeared to think the ordeal was over. At that time the
Iman motioned for a soldier to shoot her. There on the camera the soldier shot
her in the top of the head, killing her and they walked off and left her on the
street like a dog, men smiling.
While
searching for that video, I watched other sickening videos. One where a woman was caned
within an inch of her life for standing too close to a man who was not her
husband.
I watched a film of a woman stoned to death for not obeying Sharia
law. We have in our country already, 'Honor Killings' of wives and daughters.
It is hard to
put a blog on after that. Forgive me for
being so judgmental, but UNTIL I see thousands of Muslims stand to defy Sharia
law and terrorism and declare they will follow the laws of their adopted country, I will still have a problem with them immigrating into the
USA. There was a time an immigrant kissed the ground for being allowed into this country. Now, in some areas they would like to be
able to enforce Sharia law in the USA. My wife is the dearest thing in the world to
me. I cannot imagine treating her as ‘property’ or allowing any man to
cane or kill her for not covering her face.
On this very blog I
interacted with a young lady who commented. She was planning to travel to Iran
to marry a Muslim. I asked her if she
felt she should be whipped if she disobeyed her husband, she answered, “Of
course if I displease him I expect to be punished.” We e-mailed back and forth for a few times. I
wondered how she must have been raised. She had never even met a Muslim. This
was all being arranged on the internet.
I have wondered many times what happened to her.
Christian or not. I
will not judge your politics. HOWEVER, this country was formed on Christian principles. The
Ten Commandments, or Christian teachings are basically common sense. I like to think this country was formed on
common sense. There is a lot I do not understand
about this country’s past i.e. women’s suffrage, slavery and the native American. But Historical times cannot be changed, but
by gravy we can try to be reasonable and ‘get along’. Can’t we?
(FORGET? IT IS PRETTY HARD TO FORGET THIS MAN AND MANY LIKE HIM)
If I am not supposed to judge Muslims by the terrorists and extremes, then all whites should not be judged by some extreme skin heads or white supremacists, by the press! We do have many whites decrying the actions of WS. That is what I expect from the Muslim silent millions.

Now....BECAUSE
invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and theatres by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, a performer 'in the limelight' was the Centre of attention.

Chatty took the words out of my mouth. AMEN, and amen all of our days.
I'm glad you wrote this, Jack.
If a "Christian" comes out and does something wrong, like in the case of killing a doctor doing abortion, the Christian community condemns the person for their actions, does not support them. I've let to see that in the Muslim community. They tend not to condemn other Muslims for terrorist acts, etc., that are taking place. I echo what Myra and Sandie said.

Great entry Jack, I hope you have a safe trip back to Florida.
I don't think any of us will ever forget the terror of 911. Hope you have a safe trip back to Florida. It's good the electricity is back on in Port Richie and I hope yours is too.
I do have a voice but right now it's my heart that agrees and agrees....YES, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.~~~
Safe travels my friends. Protect your hearts.
love n' hugs from up north. It's in the 80's again and it feels so good.
