WorldNetDaily: A call for 'United Nations of Religions'
This call came from Kazakhstan, formerly the Kazakh Sovyetskaya Sotsialistichyeskaya Respublika. As you can see, "Religious Babylon" needs no mystical artifact from Babylon or any other city. These people have a desire to create one world religion, and they sell it the same way that others sell a one-world government--as a means by which to establish peace.::Submitted for your Mystery Baylon the Great Mother of Harlots and the Abominations of the Earth [Revelation 17] files.

The Golden Report - The Evil of Allah.
Just after yet another terrorist attack inside a Jewish West Bank settlement, Jerry Golden serves up another strong dose of the truth. Interestingly, the phrase Allah Achbar actually translates not merely as "God is great" but actually as "God is greater." The use of the comparative is highly instructive--because it shows that Muslims are really saying that their god is greater than our God. But sooner or later God Himself will remind people sharply that putting God to the test is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Islam Inherently Dangerous to West
Agape Press reports, " 'An expert on Islam says incidents such as the recent arrest of Muslim chaplain James Yee serve as reminders of the real nature of that religion and the danger it poses. Robert Spencer of the Heritage Foundation says westerners can peacefully coexist only with Muslims who truly, thoroughly, explicitly and honestly renounce jihad ideology in all the forms in which it appears in Islamic law as a mandate for violence against non-Muslims.' But Spencer says that obviously does not happen often, if at all, so any Muslim is a potential threat. He believes that there is always the possibility that some followers of Islam will take up jihad as a rallying cry and use the Koran and Islamic tradition to recruit others for strikes against the West on that basis. The incident with Chaplain Yee is the latest episode involving Muslims in the military, but many critics of Islam fear it will not be the last. Michael Waller, a researcher at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, says the arrest of Yee -- as well as that of an Arabic translator who also worked with terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay -- should be sounding alarms at the Pentagon. The Center's Michael Waller believes that, while some Muslims in the U.S. armed forces may be assets in the war on terrorism, others may be undercover agents for al Qaida. Waller wonders how the Pentagon ever assigned Yee, who studied Islam in Syria, to the most 'highly classified base on Earth.' And New York Senator Charles Schumer is also criticizing the Pentagon for not looking into the Islamic organization that certified Yee as a chaplaincy candidate." :: Submitted for your wars and rumors of war (Matthew 24:6) files.

Reformist Arab Diplomat: 'Are We a Nation that Preaches Morality and Tolerance?'
From MEMRI. This angry Arab, writing under an assumed name, shouts "No!" In one of the most remarkable pieces of self-criticism yet seen in the Arab media, Mr. Mustafa (again, not his real name) basically says that his people are hypocrites--and comes very close to asserting that religion is the primary problem. The trouble is that he condemns all religion, and scoffs at the notion of an afterlife of any kind. Here again is the false dichotomy of our modern age: an assertion that the choice is between evil "religion" and good, sensible, rational modernity. St. Paul said it best in his Second Letter to Timothy [3:1-5, 4:1-4]: people will turn to anything but the Truth in the last days.

As with all futurist prophecy, it is only a matter of time.

Caricature: Terrorists Hide Behind the UN
From Arutz-Sheva. This is the current opinion in Israel, and the UN have only themselves to blame for this perception. This cartoon would make it seem extremely unlikely that anyone in Israel would ever trust the UN to keep the peace. However, someday some organization--maybe the UN, maybe someone else entirely--will "make a covenant with the many for one seven."

Temple Mount Wall Collapses
From Arutz-Sheva, the Israel National News Service. Included are links to five separate pictures of the collapsed wall, including before and after shots. This big gap in the wall is in full view of any worshipper at the Wailing Wall, something that the WorldNetDaily article on the same subject does not even mention, much less allow you to appreciate fully. WorldNetDaily did, however, warn people once before that a wall in the Temple Mount was about to collapse. The relevancy here is that the Feast of Trumpets is fast approaching, and a total collapse might complete the spectacle of not one stone left upon another and clear the way for a Third Temple.
