Thoughts on Eric Allen Bell – Christianity and Counterjihad
John R. Houk
© January 4, 2013
I received the email entitled “Mark My Words” from Eric Allen Bell about eight days ago. Bell’s email relates that he is disturbed by both the Liberal media and what he calls radical Evangelicals. Evidently Bell did not like the criticism from Christians that were displeased with Bell’s humanist/mystic (kind of New Age mysticism) beliefs. Bell as a Leftist is critical of Christianity. I suspect Bell does not buy into the man/God died physically on the Cross and arose from the grave in a glorified physical body bring Redemption to all who Believe on the risen Savior. Many Left Wingers question the existence of a divine entity called Jesus.
After Bell did some checking into the real nature of Islam as opposed to the propaganda fed to Westerners and Americans, I am guessing Allen broaden his distrust of Christianity to include Islam because Islam is a bit militaristic in protecting its values and converting non-Muslims.
Anyway in looking up Bell’s info I made the unfortunate discovery that Bell seems to have shut down anything to do with counterjihad including his Global Infidel TV. If you try to use the Global Infidel TV url you are redirected to Global One TV which seems to be focused more on New Age mysticism than counterjihad. In my quick perusal of the website I found zero on informing about the counterjihad movement to expose that there is more violence in Islam directed toward non-Muslims than should be acceptable by Western and American culture.
I have applied to Bell’s Global One TV web community not because of the New Age content but because I had hoped Bell would find room there to also expose the nefarious side of Islam. As much as Left and Right are polarized by their political-social-religious agenda, they should all agree that Islam is intolerant to everything and anything to do with Liberty no matter how that concept is defined by the Left and Right.
Below is an email I sent to Bell which I am uncertain if it will go through if he ended his Global Infidel email address. However you may desire to skip what I wrote and read Eric Allen Bell’s email first and then read my email to him.
Mr. Bell I have to tell you I am a Christian Right person with a little bit of Neocon thrown into the mix. Definitely I am disappointed about any anti-Jesus remarks you may have made; HOWEVER I find it pleasing that you as a Liberal have woke up about the threat of Islam. The Left and the Right are quite polarized in America today, yet one thing that should unite the American Left and American Right. That united appeal is that Islamic Supremacism has one goal of global domination eliminating both the Left Wing causes and the Right Wing causes. As far as Islam goes, I am on your side!
So that you get an idea of just how counterjihad Bell was listen to a bit of this interview between Bell and Josh Hasten a mere two and a half months ago – Oct 12, 2012.

MARK MY WORDS

MARK MY WORDS, AS ONE DAY THEY WILL BECOME SELF EVIDENT: I am already dealing with over 100 death threats from Muslims, a significant percentage of which are probably viable, according to FBI Counter Terrorism. However, generally speaking the Evangelicals give me no credit for that, or going onto the news and telling MILLIONS of people the truth about the dangers of Islam repeatedly, or going onto radio and doing the same, all over the world. The only thing they fixate on is that I criticized Jesus. When it comes to the effectiveness of countering Jihad in America, Evangelicals are generally speaking NOT our greatest strength (as they would like to believe), but in fact OUR GREATEST LIABILITY. Radical Evangelicals are the main reason the Counter Jihad movement is not taken seriously – not the Liberal media. Sam Harris and Bill Maher can speak at length, on CNN and MSNBC critically of Islam, without being interrupted. The Liberal Media is not what is holding us back. As long as the fight against Islamization in America remains dominated by Evangelicals, Islam will continue to infiltrate our government, our media, our courts, our schools, our culture. Because the loudest voice opposing this has a clear and transparent agenda – and that is to use this issue as a front to advance Christianity.

Eric Allen Bell – "Islamophobia or Islamo-Reality?"
Eric Allen Bell is a Leftist that has had a career in Leftist media documentaries. If you are a Conservative this is where you cross your forefinger from each hand with the idea of warding off evil. Bell though has had an awakening that I wish all Leftists would discover. In preparation for a documentary to support the building of a Mosque in Murfreesboro, TN his research led him to understand that the political aspect of Islam is evil, Anti-American and Anti-Constitutional (my summation and not Bell’s).
Below is a video that finds 30 minutes of a talk Bell gave for ACT for America in Corona, CA. Below the video is the text that goes with the video.

Footage from an Act for America meeting, Corona, CA / Summer 2012
STATUS UPDATE: I have been moved to a safe house while the FBI investigates numerous death threats against me, 4 Pakistani newspapers wrongfully published that I was “the filmmaker” behind “The Innocence of Muslims”. An Islamic terrorist organization has ordered my death, and a bounty has been placed on my head. This rumor, associating me with the film, was intentionally planted by those who wish to silence me, after I published several articles, naming names and making connections between THE ISLAMIC CENTER OF MURFREESBORO, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. PLEASE SUPPORT ME AS I’VE GONE UNDERGROUND: http://www.EricAllenBell.com – I will not be silenced. I may have physically gone underground, but I will continue to write these articles, use radio, and any and all media to expose the truth about Political Islam and those who try to advance this brand of tyranny in America.

Under Quran – Purist Islam does Enlist Killing NON-Muslims
John R. Houk

WND has undoubtedly paid attention to a little known Radical Islamic group known as United Muslim Nations International since the group threatened WND with an or else if the Internet magazine did not cease from criticizing Islam.
On July 7, 2012 WND released an article entitled, “Muslims: Wipe Christianity from Face of Earth.” The article caused quite a stir among expose Islam bloggers big dog and little dog. The thing is WND did not post the link to the UMN Intl. 23 page document. In fact Pamela Geller’s post on the WND article linked to Michael Rubin and Robert Spencer saying to the effect the 23 page document was typical Radical Islamic material; however the links at Atlas Shrugs pointing Rubin and Spencer are now dead links. Now I don’t know if the links were posted incorrectly or if the Rubin and Spencer sources links were removed or changed. I would not have thought anything about it except a Google+ friend found the PDF 23 page document she believes that WND is referring to. She did not find a specific reference of any outright call to wipe Christianity off the face of the Earth. She asked for my thoughts and sent me a link she had found.
I went to the PDF document and downloaded it in case it disappeared from the Internet. I have now just finished reading it fairly close manner.
I have to concur with Linda that the PDF document does not specify the genocide of Christians from planet Earth.
However, the PDF document is clearly written in the purist style of Radical Islam and once you get past the flowery theology of what a good Muslim is, the document indeed push Muslim readers to follow the example of Mohammed and the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs in its brutal conquest and conversion of NON-Muslims to Islam. Of the author does not write of the brutality of conquest but of the glory of Islam and how good old Allah was their protector and guide for the Islamic Golden Age.
There are definite references to NON-Muslims and Muslims described as hypocrites (i.e. Moderate Muslims) are kafir (unbelievers). The kafir are not to be trusted or treated nicely, indeed they must be punished and killed if they withstand the author’s perceived New World Order of a new Islamic Caliphate.
So there is an insinuation to wipe Christians off the face of the Earth but in all honesty not just Christians. Any kafir is worthy of death in resisting Islam and Islamic Sharia Law.
There are a lot of references that Muslims must treat Mohammed as the perfect example of how a Muslim should live and how a Muslim should treat NON-Muslims. Let’s look at this perfect man.
…
Muhammad was born around 570 AD to a widowed mother who died just six years later. He grew up poor and orphaned on the margins of society, which was controlled by tribal chiefs and trading merchants. He worked for his uncle, Abu Talib, as a camel herder. Although his uncle had some standing in the community, Muhammad himself did not rise above his lowly station until he was 25, when he met and married a wealthy widow, Khadija, who was 15 years older.
His wife’s trading business not only nurtured Muhammad’s natural talents of persuasion, but it also gave the successful salesman an opportunity to travel and acquire knowledge that was not as accessible to the local population. He would later use this to his advantage by incorporating the stories that he had come across into his “revelations” from Allah, particularly the tales from the earlier religions, Judaism and Christianity.
Having attained a comfortable lifestyle and the idle time that wealth affords, Muhammad would wander off occasionally for periods of meditation and contemplation. It is quite likely that he was experiencing the symptoms of a midlife crisis, including a desire for personal accomplishment and meaning.
One day, at the age of 40, he told his wife that he had been visited by the angel Gabriel in a dream. Thus began a series of “revelations” which lasted almost until his death 23 years later. The Qur’an is a collection of words that Muhammad attributed to Allah. The Hadith is a collection of narrations of the life and deeds of Muhammad. The Sira is his recorded biography. The Sunnah is said to be Muhammad’s way of life, on which Islamic law (Sharia) is based.
With his wife’s influence and support, Muhammad proclaimed himself a prophet in same “lineage” as that of Abraham and Jesus, and began trying to convert those around him to his new religion. He narrated the Quran to those who believed him, telling them that it was the word of Allah (heard only by himself, of course).
…
Relations with the Meccans turned particularly sour after an episode known as “the Satanic Verses” in which Muhammad agreed to recognize the local gods in addition to Allah. This delighted the Meccans, who generously extended their welcome. But Muhammad soon changed his mind after his own people began to lose faith in him. He claimed that Satan had spoken through him, and he rescinded recognition of the Meccan gods (Tabari 1192, Quran 22:52 & 53:19-26).
…
To deal with this unpleasant truth, sympathetic narratives of the early Meccan years usually exaggerate the struggle of the Muslims with claims that they were “under constant torture.” They may also include apocryphal accounts that are unsupported by earliest and most reliable historians (see MYTH: Persecution of Muslims at Mecca – Many Deaths).
Modern storytellers and filmmakers (such as those behind 1976′s The Message) have even been known to invent fictional victims of Meccan murder, either to dramatize their own tale or to provide justification for the “revenge killings” that followed. But, in fact, the only Muslim whose life was truly in danger was that of Muhammad – after 13 years of being allowed to mock the local religion. (See also MYTH: Muhammad was Tortured at Mecca).
…
It was at Medina that Islam evolved from a relatively peaceful religion borrowed from others and into a military force that was intended to govern all aspects of society. During these last ten years of Muhammad’s life, infidels were evicted or enslaved, converted upon point of death and even rounded up and slaughtered depending on expediency.
To fund his quest for control, Muhammad first directed his followers to raid Meccan caravans in the holy months, when the victims would least expect it. This was despite the fact that the Meccans were not bothering him in Medina (see MYTH: Muhammad and his Muslims were Persecuted by the Meccans at Medina).
Muhammad provided his people with convenient revelations “from Allah” which allowed them to murder innocent drivers and steal their property (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 426). The people around him gradually developed a lust for things that could be taken in battle, including material comforts and captured women and children. (See also MYTH: Muhammad Raided Caravans to Retrieve Stolen Property).
Often the people captured in battle would be brought before the self-proclaimed prophet, where they would plead for their lives, arguing, for example, that they would never have treated the Muslims that way. The traditions are quite clear in portraying Muhammad as largely unmoved by their pleas, and ordering their deaths anyway, often by horrible means. In one case, he orders a man slain, telling him that “Hell” will take care of the poor fellow’s orphaned daughter (Ishaq 459). (See also MYTH: Muhammad Never Killed Captives)
The raids on caravans preceded the first major battle involving a Muslim army, the Battle of Badr. This was the spot where the Meccans had sent their own army to protect their caravans from Muslim raiders. Although, Muslims today like to claim that they only attack others in self-defense, this was clearly not the case in Muhammad’s time. In fact, he had to compel his reluctant warriors with promises of paradise and assurances that their religion was more important than the lives of others. (See also MYTH: The Battle of Badr was Defensive).
…
First, to try and gain their favor, Muhammad briefly preached that Christians and Jews could attain salvation through their own faith. In fact, he changed his followers’ direction for prayer from Mecca to Jerusalem, which prompted the Jews’ tolerance of him while he worked surreptitiously for the power to evict them. These earlier concessions and teachings were later revoked by Muhammad, since the Jews ultimately refused his religion. The rare early verses of tolerance in the Quran are abrogated by later verses such as 9:29.
…
While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, “Let us go to the Jews” We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, “If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle.” Bukhari 53:392
The Jews of Mecca were the first in a very long line of unfortunate people to be offered the opportunity to convert to Islam under obvious duress. Forcible conversion is very much a Muslim tradition started by Muhammad (see MYTH: Muhammad Rejected Conversions to Islam made under Duress)
Since they chose to hold on to their religion (and their property) Muhammad looked for reasons to go to war against the Jews at Medina. According to some Muslims, the first tribe, the Qaynuqa, were driven from their homes and land on the pretext that one of their own had harassed a Muslim woman. Although the offender was killed prior to this by a Muslim, the Muslim was also killed by Jews in retaliation for the first murder.
After laying siege to the entire community and defeating the tribe, Muhammad wanted to put every male member to death, but was talked out of it by an associate – something that Allah later “rebuked” him for. The Qaynuqa were forced into exile and the Muslims took their possessions and property, making it their own. Muhammad personally reserved a fifth of the ill-gotten gain for himself (a rule that he was sure to include in the Quran).
…
The Jews of the Banu Qurayza tasted Muhammad’s wrath after their leader half-heartedly sided with the Meccan army during a siege of Medina (the Battle of the Trench). By then, Muhammad had evicted the other Jews and declared that all land at Medina belonged to him, so the original constitution of the town was no longer in effect. It is important to note that the Qurayza did not attack the Muslims, even after switching loyalties (contrary to another popular myth).
Although the Qurayza surrendered peacefully to the Muslims, Muhammad determined to have every man of the tribe executed, along with every boy that had reached the initial stages of puberty (between the ages of 12 and 14). He ordered a ditch dug outside of the town and had the victims brought to him in several groups. Each person would be forced to kneel, and their head would be cut off and then dumped along with the body into the trench.
Between 700 and 900 men and boys were slaughtered by the Muslims after their surrender. (Bold Emphasis Mine)
The surviving children of the men became slaves of the Muslims, and their widows became sex slaves. This included the Jewish girl, Rayhana, who became one of Muhammad’s personal concubines the very night that her husband was killed. The prophet of Islam apparently “enjoyed her pleasures” (ie. raped her) even as the very execution of her people was taking place.
…
At one point following a battle, Muhammad provided instructions on how women should be raped after capture, telling his men not to worry about coitus interruptus, since “Allah has written whom he is going to create.” (See also MYTH: Muhammad Never Approved of Rape)
Following the battle against the Hunain, late in his life, Muhammad’s men were reluctant to rape the captured women in front of their husbands (who were apparently still alive to witness the abomination), but Allah came to the rescue with a handy “revelation” that allowed the debauchery. (This is the origin of Sura 4:24 according to Abu Dawud 2150).
…
Not content with waiting for Allah to act on his behalf, Muhammad had personal critics executed, including poets. One of these was a mother of five children, who was stabbed to death by Muhammad’s envoy after a suckling infant was removed from her breast (see MYTH: Muhammad Never Killed Women). Other innocent people were killed merely because they were of a different religion, sometimes including children (see MYTH: Muhammad Never Killed Children).
…
An elderly woman named Umm Qirfa once ran afoul of Muhammad merely by fighting back when her tribe was targeted by Muslim raiders. Muhammad’s adopted son tied the woman’s legs separately to two camels, then set the camels off in opposite directions, tearing the woman’s body in two. He also killed her two sons – presumably in gruesome fashion – and made her daughter into a sex slave. (See also MYTH: Muhammad Never Killed the Elderly).
… (The Life of Muhammad: An Inconvenient Truth; TheReligionofPeace.com; Read Entirety)
I apologize for the time spent on Mohammed’s real biography. In some fair play for Muslims that have been indoctrinated on the goodness of Mohammed, there are plenty of Quran, Hadith and Sira that do indeed show a good Mohammed. The good Mohammed is what is preached to Muslims at their Mosques. Just as there is plenty of bad news in the Bible of people considered good men in the Old and New Testament it exists for humanity to know that as people we are not perfect. The Christian Bible points to Jesus the Christ as both fully man and fully God. Christ’s humanity was needful for humanity to be Redeemed from Satan’s grasp. Thus Christ in the New Testament is often referred as the Last Adam because as a man he born perfect because His Father is God. Mohammed on the other hand example of a typical man that may have indeed started out with a good agenda; however as Mohammed increased in power, power definitely corrupted.
This is the document [That can be read below this point at SlantRight 2.0] that WND claims a Muslim Cleric is to have said all Christian must be killed. Portions I placed in Bold Italics followed by “Mine” are sections to take notice as misleading, deceptive or downright violent.

The Big Yellow Stripe of Hypocrisy
John R. Houk
© January 15, 2011
I am going to look at this video as the Left being exposed for its hypocrisy of blaming the Tea Party and Sarah Palin for inspiring nut case Jared Loughner to massacre people in Tucson including the attempted assassination of Rep. Giffords. If any other intent was the goal then this video is ghoulish. Someone has put together a series of video captures of Tweets in which Leftists either wish death or the actual shooting of Sarah Palin.
The video is the clearest evidence of the difference between Conservative euphemism and actual threats of bodily harm and of death with Leftists. Violence has always been the modus operandi to achieve goals inspired by Karl Marx and placed into practice with the leadership of Vladimir Lenin and perfected by Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot. If the charisma of an individual that symbolizes Original Constitutionalism, limited government and Judeo-Christian values threatens the transformative concepts of a Left Wing Secular Humanist society; then Leftists demand the death of that person.
In light of these Tweets the Left Wing bloggers, MSM pundits and Democratic Party haters of free speech and gun rights should be exposed for their shameful vitriol to tarnish Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Movement.
Check out some of posts:
A four-minute video montage of “hate tweets” on YouTube directed at Sarah Palin and calling for her death is creating outrage on the Internet. The video was posted on Tuesday, before President Barack Obama’s Wednesday address calling for unity in the wake of the Tucson shooting rampage, which killed six and injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others.
The montage is set to Alice Cooper’s song “School’s Out.” (SlantRight Editor: The YouTube video I found was to the Beatles tune “Imagine.”)
Among the tweets:
· “Why couldn’t Sarah Palin get shot instead?”
· “I hope Sarah Palin dies an ugly death and takes her moronic hate with her.”
· “Can somebody please shoot Sarah Palin?”
· “I hope Sarah Palin gets cancer and dies in the next two years.”
· “Sarah Palin should be shot for her encouragement of fanaticism against Democrats.”
· “Join us in praying to God that Sarah Palin contracts cancer and dies.”
· “Sarah Palin is the single most dangerous threat to the future of the human race. Somebody bloody shoot her.” (Newsmax)
Here is an excerpt from FOX News:
Attempts to reach some of the Twitter users who posted the messages were unsuccessful, but one claimed she is a “Reagan conservative” whose intent was taken out of context.
“Anybody who knows me, has read my blog, has read my Tweets, has breathed the same internet air I breathe knows I’m a Reagan-conservative-moving-swiftly-to-libertarian Mormon with a side of objectivism to spice things up,” author Moriah Jovan posted on her blog. “Thus, it didn’t occur to me that my tweet, made in conversation with someone else, in response to my utter disgust with the immediate blaming of Sarah Palin for Saturday’s shooting of a Congresswoman would be taken as a literal threat against Palin and/or a wish for her death.”
Jovan’s blog continues, “It smacked me in the head last night when I was tweeted that I was ‘scum’ who had threatened her, with a link to a YouTube slideshow of a collection of tweets that actually DID wish her dead.”
The video montage, set to the tune of The Beatles’ “Imagine,” had nearly 400 views of as Thursday afternoon.
Excerpt from US for Palin:
… As documented many times, the gun-hating leftists seem to have a sudden love of guns when they want to eliminate – quite literally – a political opponent.
YouTube audio excerpt of Mark Levin talking of the vilification of Sarah Palin.
Rush Limbaugh delineated how Glenn Reynolds, a law Professor the University used the term “blood libel” in a Wall Street Journal op-ed written on January 10, pre-dating Gov. Palin’s “America’s Enduring Strength” video and Facebook Note by two days. Not one word was written or uttered regarding Reynolds’ usage of the term in describing the left’s moronic attempts to implicate Gov. Palin in the Arizona shooting rampage. Once, Gov. Palin used the term, “all Hell broke loose,” Limbaugh said.
YouTube video of Rush Limbaugh calling out Leftists on their hypocrisy toward Sarah Palin.
The Leftists have demonstrated their big yellow stripe of hypocrisy in making Loughner’s assassination attempt and massacre a political hacking job against Sarah Palin.
