This Has Nothing To Do With Islam.

Two men hacked a British soldier to death today in Woolwich, SE London. "We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you," said one of the cleaver-wielding killers. In other reports the two killers shouted "Allahu Akbar", the Islamic battle-cry, as they cut into the soldier.

The Muslim Council of Great Britain has stated that the attack has "nothing to do with Islam." The Koran says otherwise.

5:33-“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (by beheading), or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter:”

8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”

7:4- “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives”: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.”

9:123: “Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in you.”

History also appears to contradict Britain's Muslim Council. For example, Islam's founder, Mohammed, ordered 700 Jews to be beheaded at Medina, according to his earliest biographer, Ibn Ishaq. Since then beheading has featured largely in Islamic culture and is no stranger to it today. According to Amnesty International, there have been 47 beheadings in Saudi Arabia alone this year.

Make the effort to look it up and ask yourself, is the Muslim Council of Great Britain being duplicitous or simply ignorant of their own religion? And while you're at it, reflect on the identity of Mohammed's spirit guide; was it really Gabriel or some other thing?

Oklahoma

Terrible news out of Oklahoma, where a tornado ripped into Moore. According to Tornado Scientists the twister was somewhere between 8 and 600 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb. We must thank God that more people weren't killed and pray, of course for the victims of the storm.

Oklahoma is fiercely in favor of 2nd Amendment rights and allows open carry, unlike Texas, which doesn't, oddly enough.

Wind's kicking up here, take cover...

Ride On

JB

To escape the stream of lying corruption that's pouring out of Washington D.C. like superheated plasma from an angry sun, I climbed into the truck and paid a visit to the horse.

Edgehill

JB was looking good and has put on weight nicely, thanks VS for looking after that, still, she isn't very fit because I haven't been riding very much. In fairness to me, I haven't had a lot of time to get in the saddle but it pays to make the time. Healthy body, healthy mind, and riding's one of the more enjoyable things in life, especially going fast.

Marston Moor

Saying that, I didn't go at any great speed with JB, just walk and trot, and I felt she showed good control. Still, she needs to be ridden more to "level up," I'll have to adjust the schedule accordingly.

Ride over it was back to HQ, the wires and a veritable avalanche of kindergarten style tomfoolery on the part of the Administration.

Naseby

I notice they've fallen back on the "we were just idiots!" defense. Remarkable. But hey, don't you dare criticize our rulers unless you want your 'phones tapped and the State's collection enforcers knocking on your door.

Worst Sermon Ever?

Bad

I've discovered what may be the worst sermon ever preached, all thanks to this blog called Not Another Episcopal Church Blog. NAECB comments on alien-possessed Jefferts Schori's exegesis of St. Paul's exorcism of a demoniac slave girl in Acts.

Boy Bishop

Jefferts Schori gives the narrative an interesting off-world twist. Read on, it's worth the effort.

"We live with the continuing tension between holier impulses that encourage us to see the image of God in all human beings and the reality that some of us choose not to see that glimpse of the divine, and instead use other people as means to an end. We’re seeing something similar right now in the changing attitudes and laws about same-sex relationships, as many people come to recognize that different is not the same thing as wrong. For many people, it can be difficult to see God at work in the world around us, particularly if God is doing something unexpected."

Alien

"There are some remarkable examples of that kind of blindness in the readings we heard this morning, and slavery is wrapped up in a lot of it. Paul is annoyed at the slave girl who keeps pursuing him, telling the world that he and his companions are slaves of God. She is quite right. She’s telling the same truth Paul and others claim for themselves. But Paul is annoyed, perhaps for being put in his place, and he responds by depriving her of her gift of spiritual awareness. Paul can’t abide something he won’t see as beautiful or holy, so he tries to destroy it. It gets him thrown in prison. That’s pretty much where he’s put himself by his own refusal to recognize that she, too, shares in God’s nature, just as much as he does – maybe more so! The amazing thing is that during that long night in jail he remembers that he might find God there – so he and his cellmates spend the night praying and singing hymns."

Space Creature

"An earthquake opens the doors and sets them free, and now Paul and his friends most definitely discern the presence of God. The jailer doesn’t – he thinks his end is at hand. This time, Paul remembers who he is and that all his neighbors are reflections of God, and he reaches out to his frightened captor. This time Paul acts with compassion rather than annoyance, and as a result the company of Jesus’ friends expands to include a whole new household. It makes me wonder what would have happened to that slave girl if Paul had seen the spirit of God in her."

Overlord

You can't get better than that, eh?

So, Jefferts Schori, I award you a remarkable 10 out of 10 coveted Alien Head awards.

Well done!

Clown Masses

Nice

Some people might say, "What right have you got, so-called 'LSP', to say that the way other people worship their 'god' is somehow wrong!" Some people might say that and I won't argue but here's a couple of pictures.

What have we here?

Such a clown.

The Fraction!

And here's some more!

And what's this?

So, Clown Masses, lovable band of goofy eccentrics or alien possessed abominations before the Lord?

I Love Shooting

Fake Shooter

I love shooting and if there was some way I could get out every day with the guns, well, I would. I enjoy the clean air country aspect of it, I like the skill of it, I like the explosive power shock and awe of it; I like the smell of the weapons and their mechanics, I like focusing on the front sight and the breathing, squeeze the trigger don't pull, bit of it. I like it all.

Real Shooter

Saying that, I'm not a desperately good shooter; just a decent average in the great scheme of things. And there's nothing wrong with that, at all.

Keep squeezing the trigger and God bless,

Ancient & Modern

New Skool, Old Skool

I bit the not so proverbial bullet and went out for a well needed shoot; just a bit of ranging about with one of the Lees and an AR. I say "just" as though it wasn't any great deal. Not so fast; with the cost of ammo being Homeland Security IRS pricey, you've got to make every shot count, before you go broke. Like the economy.

Bore Sight!

And the question in my shooter's mind was, "Is the cheap 2nd hand Burris Fullfield, 50 buck wonder, scope broken?" Would it dial in? Last time I tried I wasn't so sure.

Getting there

It did OK. I bore-sighted the old-skool way by peering  at the target with the bolt out, then gazing like a Chaldee through the scope. Were both sight pictures the same? Adjust accordingly. After things were appx. sorted out at 25 yards I moved out to 50 and called EndEx when the rounds were impacting 1" above the X Ring.

Rule Britannia, DIY

Good result. A $150 rifle, with 1917 history, that I'd refinished and restocked myself coming in as a contender in the "kill the evil hog at 100 yards" stakes. Or whatever. To be honest, I think I'll lose the scope and get a 'smith to fit iron (express) sights. 2 folding leaf would be neat and not too expensive. Authentic(ish) too.

.303 Brit

Shot off a couple of mags of 5.56 afterwards to clear the head. Did best off-hand, oddly. Pathetically inaccurate kneeling and prone. Must have lost concentration in the later evolutions.

Go home and eat ribs

A good and well needed days shooting over, I headed for home and BBQ Country Style Ribs. Result. 

Shoot straight and remember, there'll always be an England, until, of course, that there's not.

God bless,

You'd Better Obey Now!

The State Loves You

What was it that ZeroHedge wisely reminded us of? Oh yes. "It is not a conspiracy theory if it is a conspiracy fact."

You Have Nothing To Fear

But don't worry, the State is your friend. Unless you happen to be Jewish, or think that we're taxed enough already.

Power

Reeling from the above epiphany I made up some country style ribs. They're cooking low and slow on the grill this very moment.

In other news, Malcolm X's grandson is dead. He went by "Shabazz" and was beaten to death in a strip joint in Mexico.  You can read all about it on the internet. 

Forgive the digression; happy Mother's Day!

I Need Bullets, Hillary's Totally innocent

I need more ammo

There's been precious little about shooting on this site lately because ammo prices have gone through the roof, if you can get any at all, which is difficult. Vicious rumors that the DHS is busy doing an end run around the 2nd Amendment are baseless and entirely without foundation. And Hillary Clinton is innocent. Very innocent. Here's a picture of her, looking innocent.

I'm so angry that you think I'm not innocent!!

Here's another.

I'm thiiiiis innocent!

And another!

Whaddya mean I'm not innocent!!

And what's this?

I'm so very bored of you thinking I'm not innocent.

Have a blessed Feast of the Ascension.

Stand and Fight

mission church

Uplifting couple of Masses this morning. I preached about the military's ban on Christian evangelisation, among other things. Some people, like "Mikey" Weinstein, think that armed forces personnel who share their faith publicly are guilty of "sedition" and "treason." In case you didn't know, the Pentagon's employing this enemy of freedom and faith as a kind of adviser. 

kitchen hunting

I suppose, given Weinsteinian logic, that the framers of the Declaration of Independence were a dangerously subversive 5th Column in the fledgling Republic, seeing as how they seditiously expressed their theism in the public square.

In other news, NRA membership is over 5 million.
