The only thing Muslims fear is 'Interfaith Harmony' 
as it will lead to the end of jihad against the infidels. 

 Love and Islam have not mixed in the past.
 "The resolution of jihad, is to address the atrocities of the past, in the light of an objective history".

2000 

Israel leaves Lebanon.  When we think of Jews we think of Israel but this is not true:

The United States has 5,621,000 Jews
Israel has 3,951,000 Jews
Russia has 951,000 Jews
France has 591,000 Jews
Argentina has 490,000 Jews
Canada has 403,000 Jews
Brazil has 357,000 Jews
Britain has 302,000 Jews
Palestine has 273,000 Jews
Ukraine has 220,000 Jews.

It is noteworthy that Jews and Palestinians are so closely related as to be genetically indistinguishable.

Austronesian the language of the Philippines and Indonesia with a 250,000 speakers was spread by seafarers from Hawaii to Madagascar in the form of Formosan and Malayo-Polynesian., 

Shortage of drinking water is becoming a major environmental issue of the 21 century.  Those countries at greatest risk of absolute drinking water scarcity are northern China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, and Tunisia.  Water scarcity already affect econometric development in Poland, Singapore and parts of USA.

The credo of the Roman Catholic Church for its followers has been the three R's, Recognition of sin, Repentance of sin and Restitution for sin, but not for the institutional Church.  Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) proclaimed this year as the Jubilee Year of justice and truth.  He has a long-standing promise to offer a sweeping, unprecedented apology for wrongs committed by Roman Catholics during the past millennium.  The apology should be understood as an act of courage and humility in recognizing the wrongs done by those who have borne or bear the name of Christians.  The Pope asked for forgiveness of all the sins of commission and omission committed by the Church, especially for use of violence that some have committed in the service of truth, and for attitudes of contempt towards other cultures and towards followers of other religious traditions.  Forgiveness for the treatment of women who have all too often been humiliated and marginalized.  Religion has been marked by intolerance, superstition, complicity, unjust powers and the denial of the dignity and freedom of conscience.  Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger said, "Men of the Church, in the name of faith and morals, have sometimes used methods not in keeping with the Gospels".  Pope John Paul (1978-2005) described his actions as an attempt to ‘purify the memory’ of a sad history of hate, rivalry, intolerance and omission.  Specifically mentioned is the hatred towards the weakest members of society, the Roma (Gypsies).  Religious hatred towards others is evident world wide.  This admission towards the Roma is to highlight this injustice.  Also mentioned are lapses by Catholics regarding abortion, mistreatment of children (spanking) and those who abuse the promise of biotechnology?

Some senior officials of the Vatican believe the Pope has lost control.  Opus Dei, the hard-line right-wing faction, has seized control of the last three key Vatican Departments; the section responsible for making saints, the congregation that appoints bishops as well as the powerful press office.  Officials paint a bleak picture of life in the curia, as the bureaucracy turns rotten with malevolent gossip, discrimination and contempt.  One Jesuit theologian has accused the Pope of ‘rank heresy’ because the Pope said the revelation of Christ was ‘definitive and complete”.  The powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, alias the Congregation for the Inquisition, headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the guardian of Church orthodoxy, is waging war against the liberal Catholic theologians.  Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger is destroying decades of inter-faith bridge building.  Declaration Dominus Iesus, to be published this year, states that other Christian Churches are not proper churches because they suffer from defects, non-Christian religions are gravely deficient and their rituals constitute an obstacle to salvation.  Pope John Paul (1978-2005) says he approves this document.  The document goes on to say that some churches (Eastern Orthodox) are true 'particular' churches because they preserved the apostolic succession of bishops from the time of the apostles.  It is noteworthy that the Roman church does not/cannot trace its origin to the apostles but only to the time of the apostles.  In December, after many months of criticism from the other religious communities, the Pope recants his earlier statement.  He previously said the only way to heaven is through the Roman Catholic Church and he now says heaven is open to all, as long as they are good people.  The Pope said: “all of the just on Earth, including those who ignore Christ and his Church”, were “called upon to build the Kingdom of God”.  This ruling reverts back to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council nearly 40 years ago, but is in disagreement with the historic beliefs of the church.

It is estimated that 26 million people world wide are still classified as slaves.  This does not include political prisoners in China, North Korea or Vietnam.  

January 18:  China started its own search engine called baidu 百度 to compete with Google and by 2010 had control of 70% of the Chinese market.

July:   A Federal judge approved a historic $1.25 billion U.S. funds settlement against Swiss banks and 600,000 Holocaust survivors, including several hundred Canadians, who alleged that the banks hoarded away money deposited by Holocaust victims.  The Swiss banks' action was classified as the greatest robbery in history.  It is noteworthy that a class action is being developed against the Vatican for World War II atrocities.  It is unfortunate that the only method to make churches repent of their sins is to start class action suites against them.  It is also noteworthy that the philosophy of the King, Church and Government being above the law (infallibility belief) is the basis of many of our cultural evils.  The failure of our legal system to become a justice system is because of this cultural fallacy.

September:   Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) has advanced two of his predecessors toward sainthood:  Pius IX and John XXIII.  John Pius IX (1846-1878), alias Ancona Mastai-Ferretti, a noble born Italian, called the ‘Last King Pope’, is remembered as the longest papacy.  He who confined Jews to Rome’s ghetto, kidnapped a Jewish boy (Edgardo Mortara) making him Roman Catholic, describing Jews as dogs and declaring that there are too many of these dogs present in Rome.  Some say his reign was a disaster.  Pope John XXII (1958-1963) alias Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, a peasant farmer, by contrast is known simply as ‘The Good Pope’.

The inclusion of the bitterly protested advancement of John Pius, toward sainthood, is deemed necessary to protect the political underpinnings of papal infallibility.

November:   The Dutch legalize mercy killing and doctor assisted suicide (euthanasia).  This legalizes a, 26-year-old, common practice in that country.  Some critics say it marks the spiritual breakdown of the nation.  Currently 2/3 of doctor-assisted deaths are not reported and others fear that patients may have been murdered without their consent under the old system.  Reported cases have reached as high as 3,500 per year making an estimated total of 10,500 deaths per year.  It is known that one in every five terminations of life by a doctor, which is 2,100 deaths per year,  does not have the patient’s explicit permission and is therefore murder by another name. 

2001 

A significant discovery of bone fragments dating to about 1 A.D. are likely Essene but they caused an archaeological religious battle.  The bones were reburied because Rabbinical authority in Israeli forbids the digging up of Jewish graves as the findings might contradict conventional religious beliefs.  

The Mutawna'in a state-sanctioned Religious Police in Saudi Arabia is believed to have started about this time and has imposed a reign of terror in Saudi Arabian Society.  Only Wahhabi Muslims religion is to be practiced, all other religions are prohibited.    Shi'a Muslims are hardest hit but are still allowed to travel to other countries to practice their religion.  

From 1981 to 2001 the Aids epidemic has killed 20 million people.  This exceeds the Bubonic Plague that killed 12 million in India from 1896-1948 and is rapidly approaching the 1918 American flu of 21.6 million people.  The worst epidemic was the Black Death 1347-51 which killed 75 million people.  Currently 42 million people world wide have HIV/AIDS and this is expected to top 75 million by 2010.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change found no systematic changes in the frequency of tornadoes, thunder days, or hail events in areas where enough data are available for analysis.  Madhav Knandekar, climatologic who studies weather patterns in Canada's Prairie Provinces for Alberta Environment, found that the evidence just doesn't back up the 'Panic-mongering'.  This is true whether its rain, snow, drought, flood, extreme heat, extreme cold, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail storms, high winds, blizzards or ice storms.  

Some 3 billion metric tons of dust are lofted into the earths atmosphere each year and circumnavigate the earth in a matter of weeks.  The dust climbs as high as 15,000 feet and contains mercury, bacteria, viruses, soot, acids, radioactive isotopes and pesticides from Asia and Africa to North America.  The effect on global climate, weather and human health is little understood.  Even swarms of grasshoppers have survived the trans-Atlantic trip in African dust clouds.  World wide dust storms have been increasing.

We like to vision ourselves as being modern and socially advanced.  Are you aware that 27 million people still live as slaves throughout the world this year?  We are not only speaking of third world countries.  Did you know that the list of countries that have more than 100 known slaves include: Canada, United States, France, Germany, United Kingdom and Spain?

Internet users world wide are estimated as:

1995 - 16 million users
1998 - 160 million users
2001 - 528 million users

January 22:  The American President Bush established his first goal: 

“To work toward a day when every child is welcomed in life and protected in law”.  

“To build a culture of life, affirming that every person, at every stage and season of life, is created equal in God’s image.”  He said his first act will be to remove funding for abortions.

April:   The world is again awakened to the reality that slave trade of young girls and boys is still being practiced, not only in Asia, but also Adjame and Zanzibar Africa. 

April 1:  Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosovic, b-1941 is arrested for war crimes.  It is noteworthy that his parents an Orthodox Priest and a teacher both committed suicide as did an uncle.  It is also noteworthy that Bosnia-Herzegovina is 40% Muslim, 30% Serbs and 18% Croats.  Milosovic's goal was to create a Serb-dominated Yugoslavia, with himself as supreme leader.  He ordered the Serb army to drive Muslims from the country thereby purifying Bosnia.  The Muslims were subjected to mass rape, confinement in concentration camps and genocide.  Ethnic cleaning killed 2,000 and drove 400,000 from their homes.  Many Serbs considers the criminals as heroes.  

May:   In Greece, Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) issued a sweeping apology for Roman Catholic Church's "sins of action and omission", including the sacking, in 1204, of Constantinople, against the 200 million Orthodox Christians.  The Catholic Church has been divided for the past 1,000 years.

September 5:   Belfast, the English and Irish again show their cultural barbarianism by taking their cultural differences out on innocent children.  Eleanor Burns a Protestant mother summed up the situation by saying "we don't care what the whole world thinks of us anymore", as mothers attacked  Catholic children in Belfast.

September 8:   Scotland is proposing legislation to make it illegal to strike a child under the age of 3 years or to shake, strike with implement or hit the head of a child of any age.  Corporal punishment of a child by any agency would be banned.

September 11:  In New York, Acts of War by Madmen.  Osama Bin Laden, b-1957, a suspected Saudi Arabian terrorist from Afghanistan who previously declared war on the United States, warned three weeks ago that his Islamic Fundamentalist followers would carry out an unprecedented attack on the United States.   Four passenger airliners were hijacked by nineteen Arabs, mostly Saudis citizens. Two aircraft were crashed into the 110 story twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and both were leveled.  A third one was crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth was aborted from its  terrorist mission, due to the actions of the passengers, and it crashed in Pennsylvania.  It is believed the terrorists used knives to gain access to the flight decks then used their own Kamikaze pilots.  It is noteworthy that under Islamic Law these pilots and their associates currently reside in hell.  

To kill an innocent being is like killing entire humanity.  (Al Qur'an 5:32)  The Islamic Muslim culture is guilty of sins of omission. Who speaks out when Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) uses chemical weapons against Muslims (Kurds). Who spoke out when the Pakistani army used excesses against Muslims (Beggalis). Who recalls the Mujahadeen of Afghanistan and their mutual slaughter of Muslims. Who speaks for the Shiis of Saudis?  The Islamic culture of hate and killing is tearing away at the moral fabric of the Muslim culture.  In pursuit of hate, Islam has pulled the Jihad into the gutter.  

"Terrorism and Religious Fundamentalism profane the name of God and disfigure the authenticity of the image of man." This according to Pope John Paul II (1978-2005).  It is significant that he included Religious Fundamentalism in the same class as Terrorism.

September 11:  Terrorists hijacked commercial airlines and destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City, and the whole world is changed.

September 24:   Afghanistan: "War is our hobby, the sound of guns firing is like music for us.  We cannot live without war.  We have no other way except Jihad (holy war)".  Maulana Inyadullah for Islam. 

November 9:   The smacking of kids is banned in Sweden, Israel, Norway and Germany, but the British concluded the majority want to retain the right to smack their kids.  This barbaric practice of spanking  children is based on English Common Law that allows corporal punishment of wives, servants, apprentices and children.  Canadian Aboriginal Common Law considers the striking of children an uncivilized, barbaric act.

2002 

Europe has seen 45 consecutive years of fertility decline for unclear reasons.   The majority of infertile men is genetic damage to the Y chromosome.  Sperm count has declined 50% between 1930 to 1990.  Some believe the cause is the use of chemicals in the environment.  Current fertility rates are England 1.64, Spain 1.2, Italy 1.3, Greece 1.3. Germany 1.4 and Japan is 1.4., Canada is 1.52 and the United States is 2.08.   1.7 is considered the lowest for maintaining a reasonable balance of old to young people with a negative population growth.  Immigration is the only other way to maintain a zero population growth but many countries are rejecting this as an option as their cultural identity is being threatened.

The USA leads a war in Afghanistan (2002-2003).

Russia is battling to remove 10,000 English words that has crept into their language base.  France and Holland have similar concerns.  When well we learn that language does not constitute a culture.  Attempts at language purity is attempts at isolationism and leads to confusion, misunderstanding and conflict between peoples.  Language should be allow to naturally evolve. 

Many Americans wonder why nothing has been done about the Saudi Arabia situation:  It is the birthplace of Osama bin Laden, b-1957, home of 15 of the September 11 hijackers and some suggest it is a nation accused of using its wealth to ferment terrorism.  The paradox is it is friendly towards the United States (only the elite and royal family).  The young people have been systematically indoctrinated by the Wahhabi to be hostile toward infidels.  As a culture it appears to be caught up in an old and new world order.  Nearly 50% of its working class are foreigners, classed as infidels.  Unemployment among Saudi men tops 15% and in age group 20-24 it tops 30%.  The Saudi say we allowed our youth to grow up in pampered emptiness, that why they turn to terrorism to find themselves.  Most Saudis are uneducated for a modern world and are prime candidates for the Religious Police force, so they can dominate women.

January 11:  Over 95% of Saudis between the ages of 25 to 41 have sympathy for Osama Bin Laden b-1957.  A large percentage of the Pakistan educated Taliban and Al Qaeda are Wahhabi Muslims.

January 29:  Some contend President George Walker Bush b-1946 is an Evangelical President and that the wars in the Middle east against the "Axis of Evil" is another 'Holy Crusade'.   

March:  Rofayd Qaoud was raped by her brothers Fahdi Qaoud, age 22 and Ali Qaoud, age 20 and impregnated her.  Her mother Amira Abu Hanhan Qaoud murdered her daughter be living any good Palestine Muslim would do it to save "family honor".  Palestine law mitigates the crime of premeditated murder for "honor killings".    Palestine police report 31 known cases of "honor killing" last year.  It is suggested the numbers on unreported murders is closer to 465 per year.

March 11:  Makkah Intermediate School No. 31 a girl's schools fire killed at least fourteen students, the Saudi Arabia's Religious Police are accused of not allowing the girls to escape or to be saved because they were 'not properly covered', and the mutaween did not want physical contact to take place between the girls and the civil defense forces for fear of sexual enticement, and variously that the girls were locked in by the police, or forced back into the building.  Civil Defense officer said,  

"Whenever the girls got out through the main gate, these people (the Religious Police) forced them to return via another. Instead of extending a helping hand for the rescue work, they were using their hands to beat us."

The "Saudi Gazette" and "Al-Iqtisaddiyya" reported the incident.  The result was a very rare public criticism of the Religious Police.   According to the statements of parents, firemen, and the regular police forces present at the scene, the religious police forcibly prevented girls from escaping the burning school by locking the doors of the school from the outside, and barring firemen from entering the school to save the girls, beating some of the girls and civil defense personnel in the process.

May, The French ambassador to London in 2001 described Israel as a shitty little country.   In April 2002 the hypocritical anti-Semitism stance of the French People shout 'death to the Jews'! and 'Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) an Austrian was Right' as hundreds of synagogues, kosher restaurants and Jewish schools, cemeteries and community centers have been vandalized, ransacking, firebombing and spray-painting of swastikas are common, and Jewish institutions have been riddled with gunfire.  In April 2002 alone there was 500 such incidents reported.  The world was shocked as Jean Marie le Pen achieved second place in the French Presidential election with his Nazism brand of anti-Semitism with echoes of Vichy fascism as a reflection of a changing French culture.  The French Government and police agencies are ignoring this made in France 'final solution'.   The French have forgotten World War II.

June:   Italy is the first European Nation to enact what is called racism legislation to limit non Europeans in Italy.  It is pushed by the Fascist National Alliance.

July:  Gigantic jets of lightning are discovered over the South China Sea.  The scientists think this upper atmospheric activity may play a role in ozone formation.

2003 

Pope John Paul II (1978-2005 ) has declared Scotland is no longer a Christian country and is in effect a spiritual wasteland.  The proportion of Scots attending church between 1983 and 2001 dropped from 33% to 23%.  During the same period those who called themselves Catholic dropped from 22% to 12%.

A USA led war in Iraq topples Saddam Majid Hussein (1937-2006), a Sunni Muslim, son Hussein al Majid and Subha, and his eventual capture for war crimes.

March 17: Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) dictator of Iraq is told he has 48-hour deadline from US President George W. Bush to give up power and leave Iraq.  War begins three days later.

March 19:  Coalition forces started 'Operation Iraq Freedom'.

April 7:  Osama bin Laden, b-1957, Saudi Arabia, a rich dissident, calls on all Muslims to rise up against Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other agents of America.  Bin Laden considers himself the modern messianic savior of Islam. 

May:  India temperatures reached 45-49° C. claiming 1,900 lives.  This was during an El Nino of 2002-2003 in the Pacific Ocean. 

July 22:   Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) dictator of Iraq two sons Qusai Hussein and Odai Hussein die in a gun battle with US soldiers.

August: A severe heat wave visited Europe with temperatures above 40° C. resulting in;
            14,802 people died in France
              7,000 people died in Germany
              4,200 people died in Spain
              4,200 people died in Italy
              1,300 people died in Portugal
              1,400 people died Netherlands
                 900 people died in London
Some suggest the European total was 37,451 dead.  This occurred during a long El Nino cycle in the Pacific Ocean.
Global heat waves have been recurring world wide during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  The July 1901 heat wave killed 9,508 people in the mid west USA  The Global heat wave created the Dust Bowl in America causing 15,000 deaths over a decade of the 1930's.

August 1:  Milomir Stakic b-1962, a doctor of Serbia, is held responsible for the death of 1,500 people and forced expulsion of 20,000 non-Serb civilians in Bosnia.

September 13:  Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has been barred from conducting communion service in 350 Church of England parishes because of his support for women priests. 

September 26:  Europe's heat wave this summer, is considered as the deadliest weather phenomena in the last century.  It is estimated that this heat wave killed 19,000 people, mostly in France.  It is noteworthy that in 1901 a sizzling July in western U.S.A. killed 9,500 people.

December 13:  Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) dictator of Iraq is discovered hiding in a dirt hole in the ground near Tikrit, Iraq, nine months after being told to leave Iraq.

2004

The Islam or Muslims represent 1.3 billion people but do not represent a unified religion.  Some of the different countries by sects are:

Baha'i was created 1863 in Iran, claims 5 million members world wide, is considered as heretical by Muslims and Christians.

A book in Los Angeles this year, published by the Cultural Department of the Government of Saudi Arabia reads:  "Be dissociated from the infidels, hate them for their religions, leave them, never rely on them for support, do not admire them, and always oppose them in every way according to Islamic Law".  A sampling of over 200 such texts from all American Mosques and all spread, sponsored or other wise generated by Wahhabis Muslims of Saudi Arabia.  They include such fatwas (Principles, beliefs and values) as:
        Non Wahhaba Muslims are infidels.
        Anyone who casts doubt about an infidels infidelity leaves no doubt about his own infidelity.
        Muslims who advocate tolerance are infidels.
        Those who convert out of Islam should be killed or apostasy (rejection of Islam) is punishable by death..
        Jews are those who have incurred your wrath.
        Christians are those who have gone astray.
        Jews and Christians are condemned to the eternal fires of hell.
        The role of Saudi Arabia in the Muslim world is similar to the role of the Vatican.
        The Saudi Wahhaba has a totalitarian doctrine of other religious hatred.
        It is forbidden for infidels to enter mosques
        It is forbidden for a Muslim to be employed in the service of an unbeliever.
        A infidel domestic worker, you have to hate her for Alleh's sake.
        Christmas is an abominable activity, a practice more loathsome to God, than imbibing liquor, or murder, or fornication.
         

Europe has a growing concern about its population decline and extraordinary measures have not stopped this serious decline.  Encouraging immigration has not worked as the landed immigrants soon adopt the countries birth rate averages.  Money incentives don't appear to change the rate.  Liberal abortion laws however have contributed to this downward spiral.  In Europe 2.1 children per woman is considered to be the population replacement level.  The following are national averages.

Ireland:          1.99
France:          1.90
Norway:        1.81 
Sweden:        1.75
UK:               1.74
Netherlands:  1.73
Germany:       1.37
Italy:              1.33
Spain:            1.32
Greece:          1.29

Sheikh Issa Bin Zayed Al Nayan b-1669 son late United Arab Emirates President Zayed Bin Sultan Al Hahyan, and brother of the present ruler of Abu Dhabi, the Emir Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Hahydn and brother of the crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.  Sheikh Issa is a masochistic barbarian who enjoys mercilessly torturing at least 25 people, some were Sudanese immigrants, with whips, electric cattle prods and wooden planks with protruding nails and then vidotaping for later viewing.  Bassam Nabulsi of Huston Texas smuggled out a videotape of Mohanned Shah Poor of Afghanistan who was also run over by a Mercedes SUV , had lighter fluid poured on his genitals and set alight and had salt poured on his wounds.  Sheikh Issa is also accused of rape.  The UAE police were also involved and abused Bassam Nabulsi trying to get the vidotape back but he told them he had destroyed the tape.  This should be a warning to anyone working for the UAE.

April 9:  In 2002 Belgium legalized euthanasia, Holland passed a similar law in 1995.  The slippery slope started with abortion, then euthanasia then infanticide next its you.  Four fifths of doctors in Flanders, Belgium support the killing of infants.  A recent year long study on Flanders recorded that 50% of new born were murdered by doctors.  They committed these murders by withholding treatment or by lethal injection of pain killers.  Doctors in Holland are campaigning to change the law to allow the murder of babies.  Eugenics as deployed by Hitler is alive and well, to eliminate those undesirable people from our society.   The Nuremberg Trials declared eugenics by sterilization as a crime against humanity and extermination of the Jews as a holocaust.   What do we call the extermination of the unborn, the elderly and the new born??

April 19:  Rome, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, b-1927, Germany is elected Pope Benedict XVI (2005- ).

January:  The search engine Google is now available in China but it is highly censored.

February:  An European publication of caricatures of the prophet Muhammad has demonstrated that Islam is a religion of fanatical beliefs and values.  Protestors in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan. Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, Egypt, Isreal, Jordon, New Zealand and capital cities throughout Europe, in the name of God and Islam, are responsible for killing people, kidnapped  and beating of innocent people, burning of cars and buildings, and desecrating Christian churches.  Denmark first published the cartoons, followed by France, Norway, Austria, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Spain, United States, Canada and 32 other countries.  Islamic fundamentalists and many Islamic moderates are calling for Christian blood, for violence, for beheading, for their execution or just to kill the infidels.  Some say "Bin Laden Strikes Again" or "kill Danes! down the Denmark."  They say remember Salmon Rushdie and the order for his execution for publishing the 'Satanic Verses'.  The Vatican says the caricatures are unacceptable provocation.  Western countries including the United States suggest the caricatures are in poor taste.  Europeans contend it is a matter of freedom of the press vs. Islam sensibilities. They further believe that Arab (Islam) intolerance is a danger for every free culture.  The cartoons are not very funny but do portray the underlying concern that Islam is based on fanatics, intolerance and terrorism.   The current call for a Jihad (holy war) is a cornerstone of the Islamic faith and is historically based on armed force of a violent nature.   

February:  The Muslim religious riots are planned and organized by Islamic organizations in support of the Jihad doctrine of Islam, as established by Muhammad.  Jihad is a religious obligation of the Muslim community as a whole.  It is an obligation of every able-bodied individual.  It will continue until every person in the world adopts the Muslim faith or submits to Muslim rule.  Muslims who do not submit to the religious doctrine of Jihad are considered as renegades.  Islamic law says renegades must be ruthlessly tracked down and executed.  It is noteworthy that the Jihad (holy war) of the Muslims finds it counter part in the Crusades (holy war) of the Christians in (1095-1291)    

February:  Muslim Cleric Adu Hamza Al-Masri was found guilty of fermenting racial hatred and inciting his Islamic followers to kill non-Muslims, in Britain.  Washington State wants to extradite him after he serves his sentence, to face terrorist charges of trying to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.  These charges could carry the death penalty.  

February 3: London, a demonstration called "Religion of Peace Demonstration"  It is proclaimed that "Islam is a religion of peace and love"  The demonstrators signs read:

February 8:  A $50 billion plan is proposed to prevent Europe from sinking into a deep freeze due to climate change.  The Pacific Gulf Stream brings tropical heated water north to Europe and it has been weakening, forcing Europe into a potential deep freeze.  About 6,200 B.C. Europe was plunged into a mini ice age for 1,000 years, some suggest it was only 300 years.  It was called Younger Dryas caused by the draining of Lake Agassiz in Canada into the Hudson Bay, lowering the salt content and stopping the Pacific Gulf Stream carrying warm water to Europe.  It is noteworthy that Lake Agassiz was the largest fresh water lake in the history of the world.  Some suggest Younger Dryas was 10,800 B.C. and lasted over 1,000 years.  A study in July 16, 2009 says the Pacific Gulf Stream has shut down with some regularity in the past and some times quite rapidly.  This report out of Oregon State University using a massive computer model disputes the earlier studies and suggest European cooling is likely to not occur until after 3,000 A.D. when the currents are expected to drop by 30% rather than within a decade or two as previously modeled.

February 14:  India; Hindus of the Awakening Forum threatened to beat up young couples who exchange Valentine's day cards or gifts.  Any public display of affection between the sexes, including hand-holding is prohibited.  Muslim women, wearing black veils attacked shops selling Valentine cards destroying the cards and beating the shop attendants.  The rational is they deemed these represent permissive western values.  Despite this radical fanaticism, Valentine's Day is growing in popularity in India, as it is hard to ban love.  

February 16:  France accused Iran of secretly making nuclear weapons.  "No civilian nuclear program can explain the Iranian nuclear program.  It is a clandestine military nuclear program."

February 17:  Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi a cleric terrorist has offered 1.5 million rupee ($16,700 U.S.) plus a car for the murder of the Danish cartoonist.  The funds are offered from the Mohabat Khan Mosque and the Jamia Ashrafia Religious School in Peshawar, Pakistan, a terrorist front.

February 24:  Nigeria has seen 120 people killed over the Dutch cartoons.  Onitsha, Nigeria was the hardest hit with 90 deaths.  The Christians retaliated by destroying mosques, burned 100 Muslim homes and driving 5,000 Muslims from the city.  The Christians say these people (Muslims) have caused problems all over the world and are not wanted here.

February 25:  An e-mail making the circuit:

I am saddened that a world can live with such unconscionable actions and somehow the perpetrators believe they are right - just.
It is hard when faced with such ignorance and violence to keep an open mind and believe in the equality of individuals, their rights to the pursuit of their own religion and the tolerance for their differences.

February 28:  Iraq is heading toward a religious civil war between the Sunni Muslims and Shite Muslims as they continue to kill each other.  Clerics of each sect are being targeted by the Muslims for brutal execution.

March:  Andrey Denison the Russian ambassador to the United Nations said 'in half jest', "fast action could lead to bombing of Iran by June."  

March 11:  Slobodan Milosevic (1941-2006), of the former Yugoslav, who was called "the butcher of the Balkans" died in prison.  He was imprisoned by the United Nations in 2002 and was on trial for war crimes, including genocide in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo.  He was charged with the massacre of 8,000 Muslims.  The Balkan atrocities of the 1990's totaled 200,000 dead.   He called himself the Ayatollah Khomeini of Serbia.  He was unrepentant up to his death.

March 23:  Afaghanistan;  A Muslim cleric Abdul Raoulf, called a Islamic moderate, calls for the execution of Abdul Rahman for converting from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago.  Abdul Rahman was arrested when it was discovered he had a bible.  Muslim's believe those who abandon their faith must be executed.  "These people (Muslims) have turned Islam into the Mafia: you can get in alive, but you can get out only with death."   This Principle is central to sharia law and this is based on the memoirs of the barbaric Prophet Muhannad (570-632) "If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him".  Raoulf is presently on trial for his life.  The government insist he is mentally unfit, and therefore cannot stand trial.  The clerics say this is just an attempt by the government to avoid Islamic law.  If he is released the cleric say they will incite the people to rip him apart.  The clerics say "rejecting Islam is insulting god, we will not allow god to be humiliated."  About 100 students led by clerics marched through the streets chanting "death to Christians"   The allied forces said we didn't come to Afghanistan to support religious intolerance.   Most world leaders condemn this barbaric Islam practice.  Many believe Islam stands for intolerance, barbarism and injustice based on their actions.  Even in Canada the President Syed Mumtaz Ali of the Canadian Society of Muslims say we must permit as "reasonable" the Islamic community to execute any Muslim trying to leave Islam.  It is suggested that the Muslim Religious churches be stripped of their religious and charitable status world wide to remove any and all tax advantage until they stop holding Allah & God in contempt.  All foreign aid should be withheld from Muslim countries that don't hold a minimum standard of decency towards their people, especially the women and children.  Travel should be restricted to and from those countries for the safety of the people.   Rahman escaped to Italy but two more Islamic converts to Christianity are presently in jail.     

March 28:  New Delhi, India reports a Muslim man accidentally divorced his wife by saying talag (I divorce you) three times in his sleep.  Aftab Ansan age 30 does not want to divorce his wife of 11 years.  The village elders say he is divorced and he must wait 100 days before re-marring his wife.  In the mean time his wife must prostitute herself with another man and then divorce him before getting back with her husband.  The village will ostracize the couple if they don't comply with Islamic Law.

April 5:  West Bank of Palestine, the Hamas militant Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh admits his government is bankrupt as international aid in amount of $1.1 billion is being withheld.  The government is appealing to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to make up the short fall.  The Arab League last week resolved to send the Palestinians about $64 million a month, but Arab countries have largely failed to honor such commitments in the past.  The Hamas Government is likely to fall if they can't meet their payroll.  The European Union, the United States and Canada have held funds to Palestine for their refusal to recognize Israel and the peace process.  Russia has offered to help Hamas, Iran has pledged 50 million and Qater has pledged 57.3 million.  Saudi Arabia has pledged 90 million and Kuwait 7.5 million.  As of the end of April Hamas is behind $280 million in payroll and no funds has arrived from other Arab countries.  Commerce in Palestine is mostly stopped because the US will not allow banks to transfer funds and no payroll has been made since Frebuary.

April 9:  France is a major hold out on the European Union not adopting a free agriculture market.  They want to preserve and protect local markets.  They admit removing subsidies would boost the economy of developing nations.  French farmers receive more subsidies than those in any other European Union Nation.  The EU pays about $55 billion a year in agriculture subsidies.

July 3: Osama bin Laden, b-1957, Saudi Arabia son of a wealthy Yemeni Father and a Syrian mother, as the Islamic Messianic Savor, is calling on the Islamic Sunni Muslims to kill Islamic Shi'ite Muslims in Iraq.  This jihad against fellow Muslims is because he considers the Shi'ite's as infidels.  He also calls on Sudan Muslims to "Kill all Blacks" but the Somalia's Islamic movement is trying to distance itself from Al Qaedia.

July 14:  Hezbullah is an Islamic terrorist organization who are determined to conduct jihad, to conquer all nations of the world.  This includes Russia, China, USA, France, Germany and Britain.  They are located in southern Lebanon and have a larger 'Standing Army' than the government of Lebanon.  Sheik Hassen Nasrallah a Sunni Muslim is the leader of Hezbullah and has declared war on Israel.  Israel contends Lebanon is/should be responsible to control Hezbollah.   Funding for Hezbullah comes from Syria and Iran. 

Hezbullah means "the Party of God".  A God who condones the killing of innocent people, a God who believes in 'Racial Supremacy', a God who ignores the rights of Minorities, A God who is Intolerant, a God who believes in 'Manifest Destiny'.  This God sounds like the Prince of Hell, the Prince of Evil, the Prince of Darkness, the Author of Evil, or more commonly Satan, Lucifer, Beelsebub, Ahriman or Meloch.   A Hezbullah spokesman says "we welcome WWIII".  It is noteworthy that Hezbullah terrorists wear hoods like the KKK to hide their identity. 

Some Lebanon people suggest the following action is required:
1. The Lebanon Government must declare the Hezbullah is a terrorist organization.
2. Invite a coalition of world powers to supply armed forces to disarm the Hezbullah and force the Syrian and Iranian forces from the country.   The United Nations is part of the problem, therefore parties to a defensive force should be those countries who desire permanent peace in the region.  ie. any interested country in the world, except Israel.
3. Herbullah as a terrorist organization, then the existing 23 members of parliament are removed from government.
4. The coalition forces would destroy any attempt to remove the Hezbullish armaments from the country, sweep the country to destroy all arms, and then train and arm the Lebanon army.

May 13:  Rev. Dr. Peter J. Hammond b-1960 Cape Town, raised in Bulawayo war torn Rhodesaia (now called Zimpabwe) a controversial missionary who has traveled Africa and Eastern Europe, evangelized Mozambique, Anglolia and Sudan, under death threats and published many books but the focus is on a book titled SLAVERY, TERRORISM & ISLAM - The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.  He concludes and uses (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007);

He contends "Islam is not a Religion, nor is it a Cult (in the conventional sense), it is viewed as 100% system of life" 

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: 

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel." Leon Uris, 'The Haj'

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

July 11:  France Credit Mutuel pays 4.9 Euro ($8 billion) to buy Citygroup's banking operations in Germany called Citybank.

August 13: The Vatican has ruled that the Name of God, commonly rendered as "Yahweh," should not be pronounced in the Catholic liturgy. The Congregation for Divine Worship, in issuing the new directive, reminds bishops that in Hebrew tradition, which the early Christians adopted, the faithful avoided pronouncing the Name of God. The Vatican directive explains that "as an expression of the infinite greatness and majesty of God, it was held to be unpronounceable". Christians believe that "Yehweh" and "Jesus" are one and the same, therefore following the Vatican logic, then "Jesus" should not be pronounced in the Catholic liturgy? 
Does this imply that the Holy Bible on next printing will be changed to eliminate the many references to "Yahweh".

Exodus 3, 15, which is believed to be the oldest book of the Bible, reads "You are to say to the sons of Israel"; "YAHWEH, the God of your Fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you". " This is my name for all time; by this name I shall be invoked for all generations to come". 

YHW aka YHWH or more commonly YAHWEH (Yahew, Yahwe or Yahwa) is believed to have originated in Midiam (Saudi Arabia) was extensively spoken and used by the Jewish community prior to the destruction of the Temple by the Romans. After the destruction of Temple (Beit ha-Midkash) in Jerusalem Gods name was not to be spoken again. Observant Jews are not to pronounce "Yahweh" because it is considered too sacred to be used for common activities. Even ordinary prayer is considered too common for this use. This is interesting as God was very clear, if we believe Exodus, he wanted his name to be used for generations to come. It would appear the Jewish culture abandoned their intimate relationship with God in 70 A.D.? 
The early Hebrew tradition, encouraged the use of "Yahweh" and I doubt if early Christians abandoned this ancient tradition.

This maybe politically correct but Yahweh would not be pleased, with the Congregation for Divine Worship, in my opinion.

Islam does not support peace making, and is a political system.
Islam is not the word of God.  If you want to be offended it's your problem. But you know something? Go study. Think for a second that I might be right. So wake up, look at your path, see where you're going. Are you really going to heaven with 72 virgins after you kill yourself and kill another 20 people?
Islam is in a state of collapse because it does nothing for the people, .its sons and daughters have access to the world through the computer.
Islam and the Koran is like a drug, it is misguided..
Islam is bipolar, it contradicts itself.
Muslims are sick.  Sadly, the overall hatred of Jews by Muslims clouds the minds of many.

April: Onaiza, Saudi Arabia judge Sheikh Habib Al Habib has ruled for the second time that an alleged marriage between an 8 year old child and a 47 year old man cannot be annulled.   The father of the child had sold her into slavery to settle a debt.  Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Sheikh the Kingdoms Grand Mufti says "under Sharia Law, which is Wahhabsa Islamic Law, and it's strict interpretation called Wahhabism deems it ok for a child of 10 years to marry".  These rulings make it very clear that Islamic Law supports slavery and pedophilia of female children.  They contend by fitna that slavery is part of Islam and slavery is part of Jihad.  The mother of the child has been trying to get the marriage annulled or divorced but she has no rights of guardianship because she is separated from her husband.

Wahhabi is a Sunni sect of Islam based on the Qur'an and the Hadith and traces it's origins to 1740 (Ibn Abd al-Wahhab).  It is noteworthy that the Saudi Wahhabi have their own unique version of the Koran that differs from the original Arabic Qur'an.  It contends Islamic Prophet Muhamrad "ordered an adulteress be stoned to death", they believe followers must not only always oppose infidels in every way but to hate them for their religions, and that Shi'a, Sufi, Shiite and other non-Wahhabi Muslims are infidels.  They believe democracy is responsible for all horrible wars and problems of the 20th century.  Wahhabis Muslims must not tolerate infidels nor embrace International Human Rights norms or promote greater freedom. Muslims are told that "innovative imans" are heretics and their prayers are invalid.  These beliefs are enforced by Religious Police (Wutawwa) (Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice) are in reality a form of Secret Police, like the Nazis of WWII, with wide powers.  Power to arrest anyone engaged in homosexual acts, prostitution, fornication, or proselytizing of non-Muslim religions, they can also arrest unrelated males and females caught socializing, enforce Islamic dress-codes, Muslim dietary laws, store closure during prayer time, prohibit the consumption or sale of alcoholic beverages and seize banned consumer products and media regarded as un-Islamic (such as CDs/DVDs of various Western musical groups, television shows and film).  They also actively prevent the religious practices of other religions within Saudi Arabia.  Pagan feasts are prohibited such as Valentine's day, including red products such as red roses and red stuffed animals.  In fact the police have issued a decree banning the sale of dogs and cats, also seen as a sign of Western influence.

An Al Chami, Saudi Arabian Court has sentenced a 75 year old Syrian woman, Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, to 40 lashes and 4 months jail, as well as deportation from the Kingdom, for having unrelated men, Fahd age 24 and his friend Hadian, in her house.  It is noteworthy that she raised Fahd including being his wet nurse.  Fahd got 4 months in jail with 40 lashes, his friend Hadian got 6 months jail with 60 lashes.  This ruling is according to the Wahhabism.  The Wahhabism is used by the Religious Police (Wutawwa) to control the people by regulating segregation of the sexes, dress code of women, the ban on woman from driving and restricting women's travel without a mans permission.

It is noteworthy that the Taliban or Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan had adopted the Saudi Arabia's Religious Police (Wutawwa) concept (religious fundamentalism) based on the Qur'an because they didn't want to lose the Saudi Financial or Political support.  Afghan President Hamid Karzai passed a repressive Law similar to the Saudi Wahhabai proposed by Mohammad Asif Mohseni, I suspect for the same reasons as the Taliban.  Folks world wide are beginning to question the wisdom of the involvement in Afghanistan, if basic Human Rights are not being observed and incorporated into law.  However Muslims believes Human Rights are dismissed as a weapon of the infidels used to attack and undermine Islam.

The only thing Muslims fear is 'Interfaith Harmony' as it will lead to the end of jihad against the infidels.  Love and Islam have not mixed in the past.  The resolution of jihad is to address the atrocities of the past, in the light of objective history.  Wahhabi has distorted Islam, distorted the Qur'an, and some Muslims say its has satanic tendencies.  The Crusades have not been satisfactorily resolved in the Muslim mind.

April:  The issue of the resurgence of Muslim fundamentalism in Afghanistan has raised the question of the use of Burka or head cover by women.  The Wahhabi Muslims who support the Talaban and al-Qaeda in the region say: If a Muslim woman unveil themselves, which is a fundamental principle of modesty, the whole Muslim community will be in peril.  Educated Muslim woman say: The Qur'an does not mention burka or head cover (hijab).  It is Muslim men who want woman to ware burka and head cover (hijab) to subordinate women by turning women into things.  Others say the Muslim male has no inhibitions or moral restraints, but for the veil, which masks his inability to control himself.  The al-hijab means a veil that separates man or the world from God.  The hijab in the Qur'an only applies to men while in the presence of Muhammad's wives.  The hijab didn't become an issue until the 1970's when some countries imposed them by law on women but not men.  The hijab is not used in non-Muslim countries because the covering of a face implies a bandit or someone with something sinister to hid.  However it is noteworthy that the bridal veil was still in use in some bridal outfits of the recent past.  It is believed that the imposition of the veil or al-hijab leads to other suppressive traditions against woman, such as child brides a form of slavery, sexual domination of wives, restrictions of education, work outside the home and mobility including operating cars without a family member being present.

The Wahhabi Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan are fighting a religious war of Jihad.  The United Nations is fighting a political war of freedom and democracy.  These are not compatible philosophies about which to wage war.  The war should focus on a war of education concerning religious tolerance, focus on love of neighbor and visitors vs. hate of all infidels, implications of the evils of jihad against the people.  Might is not always right.

September 5:  Geneva, Switzerland attended by 1,500 climate scientists sponsored by (IPCC) the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change;

Professor Mojib Latif of Germany one of the leading authors and respected climate modeler of the world, and a climate physicist of the Leibniz Instutite of Marine Sciences at the University of Keil, Germany says we are likely in a Global cooling cycle since 1999 (1994 if you consider statistical significance) and is expected to continue into 2019 or even 2029.  The operative words have evolved from 'Global Warming' to 'Climate Change' to 'Climate Variability' and next to 'Natural Variability' or 'Natural Cycles'.

"The oceans are key to decade natural variability" Latif says.  James Murphy, head of climate prediction at the UK's Met Office, agrees.  
"I am not one of the skeptics.  However, we have to ask the questions ourselves or other people will do it" Litif says.  
    Were you mistaken about your fundamental assumptions?
    Were your climate models deficient?
    Were you wrong to suggest climate in absolute terms such as 'WILL', 'global warming tipping point', 'runaway global warming' , we must act 'now'?
    Were we using poor scientific methodology, poor science?
    Were we over zealous, failed to encourage apposing opinions?

"In many ways we know more about what will (a true scientists would say 'may', 'might' 'could') happen in 2050 than next year" said Dr. Vicky Pope of the UK's Met Office.  Other studies are more blunt; OIS-3 (Oxygen Isotope Stage-3) studies conclude that "variations in orbit, CO2, and ice sheet size are are of little significance in explaining the observed climate variability".  Dr. Vicky Pope  told the conference that the dramatic Arctic ice loss in recent summers was partly the product of natural cycles rather than global warming.  "The oceans are key to decade natural variability" Litif says.  OIS-3 which studies climate from 57,000 B.C. to present times concluded;  "The model results focus attention on North Atlantic sea-surface temperatures (SST) as a major factor in explaining OIS-3 climates".  Not just decade variability.  The climate models assumed that man made CO2 emissions would warm the oceans but the exact opposite happened, the ocean cooled.  Scientist in Germany and the USA have come to the same conclusions, Latif says "short-term" predictions (10-20 years) are unreliable.  Dr. Vicky Pope has a Phd in meteorology (stratospheric dynamics) suggests scientists cannot give precise predictions of what will happen in 100 years, or even in the next 10 years.   

Who speaks for the one billion people who are going hungry in 2009 (according to W.H.O.) and the tens of thousands that are dying, because we turn food into ethanol for our cars, based on Global warming predictions, by the climate scientists, and pushed by environmental fanatics.   The politicians succumbed to this political pressure and did irrational things by subsidizing this horrific practice.

Who speaks for the tens of billions of dollars spent to prevent Global warming, that MIGHT happen in 50 to 100 years?  This money could have been more wisely spent on our Global Recession problems, hunger, health care, unemployment, failing financial systems.

Will the Al Gore and David Suzuki's of the world apologize for leading the environmental fanatics astray?
Will the science community, the news community apologize for their part in the process?

The loans would then be rescheduled and the government would repay them over a 10-year period.
