Is 2012 Phenomena A Hoax Of False Prophecies?

And why?

Well, let us see...

It all started with the Mayan Calendar!

The Mayans based their long count calendar on a mythical date of creation which was 11 August 3114 BC.

They calculated that the completion of 13 b'ak'tuns (August 11, 3114 BCE) marks the Creation of the world of human beings according to the Maya.
On this day, Raised-up-Sky-Lord caused three stones to be set by associated gods at Lying-Down-Sky, First-Three-Stone-Place. Because the sky still lay on the primordial sea, it was black. The setting of the three stones centered the cosmos which allowed the sky to be raised, revealing the sun

The Baktum is equal to 144000 days or 394.3 solar years.

According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the K'iche' Maya of the Colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world.
The Popol Vuh  considered that God failed in making his first three creations and describes the fourth creation as successful fourth world where men were placed.
In the Maya Long Count, the previous creation ended at the start of a 14th b'ak'tun.

The previous creation ended on a long count of 12.19.19.17.19. Another 12.19.19.17.19 will occur on December 20, 2012, followed by the start of the fourteenth b'ak'tun, 13.0.0.0.0, on December 21, 2012.

Maya inscriptions occasionally reference future predicted events or commemorations that would occur on dates that lie beyond 2012 (that is, beyond the completion of the 13th b'ak'tun of the current era). Most of these are in the form of "distance dates" where some Long Count date is given, together with a Distance Number that is to be added to the Long Count date to arrive at this future date.

Arguments suggest that if the start of this calendar is based on an assumptive mythical date, the suggested end in December 21, 2012 might as well be mythical and purely presumptuous.
Whatever built on false is false..

Some scholars and authors such as Hapgood (The Path of The Pole), John Anthony West (Serpent in the sky), Hancock and Bauval (Keepers of Genesis) and others, provided evidence that, at the end of the last Ice Age, a race of people settled in Egypt following a catastrophe in which their own homeland disappeared (i.e. Atlantis).

Some say that Atlantis is  a legendary island described by Plato in his mythical Tmaeus and Critias monologues.

Then a lot of imaginative authors, poets, philosophers and movie makers follow to prove the real existence of Atlantis, and the result that we find it either in Northern Europe, or in the Atlantic Ocean or West Coast America Or Coast of South America or The Mediterranean Sea or North Coast of Africa etc.... etc...

The Sphinx and pyramids were remnants of those times, about 10,500 years ago, and encoded into them was information about the catastrophe. West and Hancock and Bauval all thought that there was a Hall of Records buried at Giza, which would contain detailed records of the Atlantean civilization and the catastrophe that ended it.

Patrick Geryl, author of The Orion Prophecy, got an intuitive feeling that the answer was in the Zodiacs of Dendera Temple in Egypt, - that the rectangular zodiac in particular, contains coded information about the catastrophe that ended Atlantis, and how to calculate when the cycle would recur.

Geryl read a rare translation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, by the Frenchman Albert Slosman, which implies that the Earth has previously undergone some kind of pole-shift which caused the "sun to rise at a new horizon", and also gives "an intermediate note" that this event - the Great Cataclysm - happened on July 27th in the year 9792 BC.

Gino Ratinckx checked to see if there was any astronomical pattern on 27th July 9792 BC that repeated on 21-22 December 2012 AD. He claims to have found "the positions of Orion and Aldebaran match both data precisely".

Gino also says that the configuration "occurs three times in twelve thousand years! The other date is 3114 BC."

This latter year is the year in which the Mayan long count started. Later in the book, when checked with astronomical software, only 2 matches were found to be correct- 9792 BC and 2012 AD.

Geryl claims that in a computer simulation Venus in 2012 will make an exact circle-shaped movement above the most important and highest stars of Orion, and that is why he is most convinced that 2012 is the date of the next cataclysm. Because if this happened then he believes that Venus will pass before the Sun, which is a Spectacular Code... He believes this will happen on 6 June, 2012 and will be in the middle of the Sun at exactly 1:30 that day.

Geryl concluded that Venus will stand in the Middle above Orion while it passes before the middle of the Sun... Hence the connection from Venus, Orion and the Sun. And for this reason scientists took this "code" as a warning for End Times...

Of-course there are big debates about the accuracy of a computer simulation, especially when it appears that there are different computer software(s), each is giving different configurations.

Not to mention that the alleged Hall of Records in the Egyptian Hawara Labyrinth, which would contain detailed records of the Atlantean civilization and the catastrophe that ended it, was never found, although the Labyrinth itself had been located....

End of Times or End of Days according to the main three religions has specific signs that will precede the incidence...

In the Islamic belief the Quran tells certain signs such as:

The Hour has drawn nigh, and the moon is rent asunder -54:1

And he (Jesus) is an indication (sign ) of the Hour (End of days), so be not in doubt of this and follow ME, this is the straight Pass. - 43:61

And there is none among the People of the Book but will continue to believe in it before his death; and on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) shall be a witness against them. - 4:159

Then if the Horn is blown with one blast - And the Earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one smash - Then on that Day, The Occurrence is occurred - And the Sky is split and that day it is infirm. - 69:13-16

According to Jewish tradition, the Messianic Era will be one of global peace and harmony, an era free of strife and hardship, and one conducive to the further-ment of the knowledge of the Creator. The theme of the Messiah ushering in an era of global peace is encapsulated in one of the most famous scriptural passages from the book of Isaiah:

"They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift sword against nation and they will no longer study warfare (Isaiah 2:4)."

In his Mishneh Torah, Maimonides describes the Messianic Era:

"And at that time there will be no hunger or war, no jealousy or rivalry. For the good will be plentiful, and all delicacies available as dust.

The entire occupation of the world will be only to know God... the people of Israel will be of great wisdom; they will perceive the esoteric truths and comprehend their Creator's wisdom as is the capacity of man. As it is written (Isaiah 11:9): "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea."

Of-course there are no sign of any of this in the foreseen future....

The "Little Apocalypse" in the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 is known as the Olivet prophecy, because it includes Jesus' descriptions of the end times, the use of apocalyptic language, and Jesus' warning to his followers that they will suffer tribulation and persecution before the ultimate triumph of the Kingdom of God.

After Jesus described the "abomination that causes desolation", he warns that the people of Judea should flee to the mountains as a matter of such urgency that they shouldn't even return to get things from their homes.

Jesus then states that immediately after the time of tribulation people would see a sign, "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken" Matt 24-29-30

In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus stated that when all these signs are seen, his Second coming would be imminent. He went on to say that this generation would not pass until all these things had happened.

There can be a lot of different interpretations of all these descriptions... However and whatever the interpretation is, no one can possibly imagine that such incidents can happen between now and end of 2012....

In the end, it seems that 2012 is only a hoax of wild imaginations and a persistence of inducing such imaginations using different methods that can attract various audience whether pro or against the idea.

The idea sells......

If you are religious... imagine that the most sacred secret that God has kept for himself since the creation can be revealed on the internet and by the media, so almost every human being on Earth knows it....

If you are not religious... imagine that all the information revealed on the End of Days are based on Myth, Religion and different mathematical and arithmetical arguments.

If you are neither religious or non religious... then go figure and let me know if you would come to a concrete conclusion.

Moses Sea Parted? How, When, Where?

CNN news blog put an intriguing article " Where did waters part for Moses? Not where you think".

In this blog the writer speaks about some University of Colorado researchers, who tried to prove that the Biblical story described actual events happened the day Moses crossed with the Israelites the Sea that parted for them.

The researchers concluded that the event happened on an area south of the Mediterranean Sea where some oceanographers say a branch of the Nile River drained into what was called the Lake of Tanis; a coastal lagoon 3000 years ago.


The computer model shows a 63 mph east wind blowing across the area and its 6-feet-deep waters for 12 hours. In the scenario, the wind pushed back the waters into both the lake and the channel of the river, exposing a mud flat 2 to 2.5 miles long and 3 miles wide for four hours. As the winds died down, the waters quickly flowed back in and in theory would have drowned anyone on the mud flat.

This in brief what the blog was about, of-course with more illustrations and details... however, this is not what I want to elaborate or comment on...

 What really drew my attention is the number of different comments on the blog, which was not only large but demonstrated well the differences between people thoughts.

To express well my idea, I will put here some of the comments:

" There's no way that a 63mph wind is going to displace a 6 foot deep river / lake. The pressure at a 6 foot depth is 1.3 atmospheres or roughly 10 pounds per square inch higher than normal atmospheric pressure. That much pressure spread across a wide river represents many tons of force. Wind even traveling at 63 mph is not capable of exerting enough force to oppose that much pressure."

" Do you people really have such a hard time believing that an odd event happened, and a group of people decided to attach their own mythology to it? I mean, that's how religions all over the world have worked for as long as we have recorded history! So by the time the old testament was actually written down (no, it wasn't written by Moses as the events happened, get over it), god had become part of the story. And seriously, like the ancients would understand the physics behind the wind blowing water and creating dry land? To an uneducated people, that would certainly seem like a miraculous event."

" I realize without faith these matters are hard to believe, but I believe that God spoke and this world was created, He needs not a topographical area to split the waters what a small matter for him to make a DRY way through the Red Sea."

" We can't get the weather right on any given day, but now we are analyzing fictional meteorological events sometime in the past somewhere in the world? Give me a break. Even Jebus would find this to be a stretch..."

" So, let's say that this is exactly what happened. It was the wind. Does no one find it odd that the wind just happened to start blowing, for 24 hours, just when the Hebrews needed it and just happened to stop just when they needed it? Sure, I accept this as what happened but I don't accept the wind just randomly started blowing just at the right times. For the atheist, an article like this does nothing. They probably don't even believe Moses existed more-less in God. But for people of faith, I like stories like this because it links in how God may have acted in our world (and maybe still does)."

" WOW... you mean there's a chance that God acted by using the things which God created to save those whom God cares about? CRAZY"

" Where does the money come from to conduct these stupid experiments? The Vatican?"

" How ridiculous.... Why? Why can't you just accept that what was recorded was? Sure maybe you can explain it happening here. But you can't explain how it happened at the Red Sea. That's because the work of God is unexplainable. Why must we believe that we can find an explanation to everything. How sad. How truly sad."

" I still believe the crossing spot to be somewhere before what is called MT Jabel El Laws. The 12 wells have been dated, and the giant split rock on a 300 foot tall hill with water erosion going in all directions from that point. Then an alter site where you could actually clime to the top of a mountain and look down at where you came from, and at the alter. Plus, if you map how far people can walk without water using Google Earth to estimate from the point of the wells (and palms) a large amount of people could actually walk that far without water. Plus, you understand that the people that have controlled this area would not want this at all. Plus, both sides having a pillar/marker that says Salomon's pillar (or) Moses crossing on really old maps. Plus the opening of the mountains before the first one. Plus between those markers being the lowest part of water in the entire area. No one really knows how much water was in that area at that time, some say less. I don't know how much evidence it would take for some people, but that seems like a TON to me."

" 63 mile an hour winds happen frequently enough, but I don't see all the little ponds and shallow rivers being emptied or even moved for it."

" What a load of crapola! What's next, are the scientists going to figure out where Zeus banged Hercules mother? It's all myth and not worth anyone's time or money. I hope it wasn't some taxpayer-funded grant who paid that crapola "study.""

" Moses didn't cross the Red Sea. He crossed the Sea of Reeds, which more closely resembled marsh lands, rather than a river or large body of water. If you've ever tried to cross a marsh on a horse, you'd learn very quickly it doesn't take a giant wave to wipe out an army on horses. All it takes is soggy earth."

" And "Who" made the wind blow that hard?"

" In an interview published by Time magazine, Einstein spoke of his feelings about Christianity. Einstein was then asked to what extent he was influenced by Christianity, to which Einstein replied as follows, "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene." Einstein was then asked if he accepted the "historical existence of Jesus," to which he replied, "Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."

I always dig up some facts (in fact) i love facts: GOD'S Word is The Law! ...i wonder how Newton & Einstein would have turned out growing up in a world without biblical Truth?"

" This article is funny because true history shows that the Israelites were never in Egypt during the time of the Exodus. History also shows that the Egyptians didn't have slaves at the time of the Exodus as well. People will believe anything."

" I wonder if they're hiring? Nice work if you can get it. Does this "study" improve anyone's living conditions today?"

" Things the judeochristian "God" shares with Santa Claus: Stories about actual events (St Nicholas, Jesus of Nazareth) are misinterpreted, mistranslated, and used for personal gain (Macy's, the Pope). They both reside in mythical places. (The North Pole, Heaven). They're both "invisible". They both judge you on your behavior. People with mental illnesses swear that they're real. hmmm... I think we should worship Santa... But wait! Santa and Satan have the same letters! and are red! IT'S A TRAP!!!!"

" When someone explains something to you with "science," you have faith in what he thinks is a fact and what isn't a fact. It takes more faith to belive that we evolved from a fragment of nothing than we were created by a higher power."

" in the Quran, God speaks how he saved the children of Israel by opening the sea to save them by the pharoh.... and in the Quran, God says that the pharaoh Ramsey's body will be preserved to show a sign for the world too see how God punished him. his body is located i think in Egypt. his body looks like as if he died recently. the Quran testified and proved scientist that it was a mirical from God."

" No one cares what the Quarn says dude, keep your hate filled babble to yourself. There is only one God and it is certainly not Allah! Just the Alpha and the Omega."

" The waters did part for Moses but it was all done by UFOs."

" Nothing was ever said about Moses parting the Nile. The river was the Jordan, and Moses didn't part it either. Scripture says that God let an east wind blow all night that parted the waters. Also, according to Biblical Archaeology, chariot wheels, etc. have been found there."

Well they said it all....

It will always be debates, just know how, when and where to spark off the fire...
And it will spread out...

So my favorite is:

" CNN: Seriously, grow up. This is goofy."

Tyche Painting Found But Fortune Is Lost!

A wall painting (fresco) of Tyche, the Greek goddess of fortune, was exposed during the 11th season of excavation at the Sussita site, on the east shore of the Sea of Galilee, which was conducted by a team of excavators of the University of Concordia.

The Romans called her Fortuna; the goddess of fortune and personification of luck. She might bring good or bad luck; she could be represented as veiled and blind. She was also goddess of fate.

Her father was Jupitor; she protected grain supplies and her month is June.

In Greek mythology;  Tyche's father is Zeus and she was represented with different attributes. Holding a rudder, she was conceived as the divinity guiding and conducting the affairs of the world, and in this respect she was called one of the Moirai (Fates); with a ball she represented the varying unsteadiness of fortune--unsteady and capable of rolling in any direction; with Ploutos or the horn of Amalthea, she was the symbol of the plentiful gifts of fortune.

Nemesis (Fair Distribution) was cautiously regarded as the downside of Tyche, one who provided a check on extravagant favors conferred by fortune. The pair were often depicted as companions in Greek vase painting.

Tyche was widely worshiped as the guardian spirit of a city's good fortune. As such she was usually depicted crowned with the turrets of a city-wall and holding a cornucopia (horn of plenty) brimming with the fruits of the earth.

Tyche is also listed as one of the Oceanids (daughters of the Titans Tethys and Okeanos) in the Theogony  of Hesiod. Indeed, paired with her sister Eudora, she and her sibling together represent a combination of Bounty and Luck according to the Oxford Classical Dictionary.

This same source also indicates that Tyche appears again as a personification associated with Bounty in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter.

According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Goddess Tyche was a daughter of the Sea Titans Oceanus and Tethys.

Goddess Tyche was the personification of Hope, Luck and Wealth. She was a labile, yet virtuous spirit, mediating between gods and mortals and leading human lives. She was therefore extraordinarily worshipped by the ancient Greeks.

The main symbol of goddess Tyche was a huge horn, inside of which she was keeping all wealth and richness; the horn once belonged to Amalthea, the goat who fostered Greek god Zeus during his infancy.

Tyche was carrying the horn with her constantly, occasionally turning it upside down to spread all its goods to anyone who would meet her on his way.

In the Roman mythology, she is found in a variety of domestic and personal contexts. During the early Roman Empire, an amulet from the House of Menander in Pompeii links her to the Egyptian goddess Isis, as Isis-Fortuna.

She is functionally related to the God Bonus Eventus, who is often represented as her counterpart: both appear on amulets and intaglio engraved gems across the Roman world.

Her name seems to derive from Vortumna (she who revolves the year): the earliest reference to the Wheel of Fortune, emblematic of the endless changes in life between prosperity and disaster, is 55 BCE.

The wheel characteristically has four shelves, or stages of life, with four human figures, usually labeled on the left regnabo (I shall reign), on the top regno (I reign) and is usually crowned, descending on the right regnavi (I have reigned) and the lowly figure on the bottom is marked sum sine regno  (I have no kingdom).

Medieval representations of Fortune emphasize her duality and instability, such as two faces side by side like Janus; one face smiling the other frowning; half the face white the other black; she may be blindfolded but without scales, blind to justice.

She was associated with the cornucopia, ship's rudder, the ball and the wheel. The cornucopia is where plenty flows from, the Helmsman's rudder steers fate, the globe symbolizes chance (who gets good or bad luck), and the wheel symbolizes that luck, good or bad, never lasts.

In Astrology the term ‘Pars Fortuna’ represents a mathematical point in the zodiac derived by the longitudinal positions of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant (Rising sign) in the birth chart of an individual. It represents an especially beneficial point in the horoscopic chart. In Arabic Astrology, this point is called Arabian Parts.

The procedure followed for fixing one’s Pars Fortuna in ancient and traditional astrology depended on the time of birth, viz., during daylight or night time (whether the Sun was above or below the horizon).

In modern western astrology the day time formula only was used for many years, but with more knowledge of ancient astrology, the two calculation method is now often used.

The formula for calculating the day time Part of Fortune (PF) is (using the 360 degree positions for each point):

PF = Ascendant + Moon - Sun

The formula for the night-time Part of Fortune is PF = Ascendant + Sun - Moon

Each calculation method results in a different zodiac position for the Part of Fortune.

Al Biruni (973 – 1048), an 11th-century Persian mathematician, astronomer and scholar, who was the greatest proponent of this system of prediction, listed a total of 97 Arabic Parts, which were widely used for astrological consultations.

Paul Vachier has prepared an Arabic Parts Calculator for all the Arabic Parts.

Between the Greek and Italian economic catastrophes and disasters, it seems that both Tyche and Fortuna, have held up their wheels and closed their horns not only on Greece and Italy; but also on the whole world.

Since we are not able to find solutions to our economic problems, I do suggest that we turn again to Mythology and Astrology; and pledge the Goddesses of Fortune to give us a pity look and save us from total ruin.

Today, the World leaders are in the United Nations; discussing how to solve the problem of a billion hungry human beings on planet Earth, and they are failing on details...

There are more billions of people who are hungry also to have equal chances of living...

Why Fortune these days is only a synonym of power?

Why Fortune can not be again a synonym of just?

Maybe because Tyche and Fortuna are killed, and decided not to reborn....

The Ball stopped rolling.... and Fortune lost its balance

Arab Israeli Piece By Piece Talk - A Joke

I really do not understand why people who are supposed to be responsible for their countries' peace, culture, history, security, independence etc... waste their times in deceiving themselves before they deceive others.

When Israelis and Palestinians sit to talk, I feel they do it basically for the media. No one on earth would believe they will achieve anything.

The main reason for that is that whoever are sitting on that "Negotiation Table" know they are talking everything except the truth.

And the Truth is very simple but no one wants to tackle it.

The Truth is that there are people who are being deprived from having a country since 1948.

And there are people who came back in 1948 to take a land thinking that it is their own only.

Well they forgot all about this and now exhausting themselves and everybody in discussing whether to continue or to stop building settlements in Israel.. as if this is the key issue in getting the parties into real peace.

The Israelis found this a perfect stalling and the Palestinians managed to split on who has the right to be in charge of the new promised country!

The new promised country! this is a joke- No?

A country that cannot be a state, can not have an army to protect it and has to be under the control of another country - is not a country but a joke?

And Palestine is not a joke.

The Israelis are happy that the Palestinians and behind them the Arabs, are sinking in a foul lake of differences...

The Palestinians in all their different sects and ideologies are really not willing to move forward to have any changes from what they are already in..

Some might know this fact, some might not... but each one of them is happy to sit and have a kind of authority, on a piece of land even if it is not his.... like those who are enjoying themselves on  Lebanese Lands.

Of course, I am not talking about the Palestinian people, but about their leaders - all their leaders.

Because those leaders have gone so far in taking advantages of their people miseries, agonies, poverty, hunger and homelessness.

The Palestinian people are the big losers since 1948 till today and may be to centuries ahead if they still accept such kind of selfish leaders to speak on their behalves.

Israeli leaders on the other hand are not better... actually worse.

Every Israeli leader since 1948 lives on the corpses of the killed Palestinians, and feed his political life from the miseries of the still living ones.

Every Israeli leader lives on enslaving the people of  Israel in illusions; that the Palestinians want to slaughter them, and this why their duty is to slaughter them before.

Both Israelis and Palestinians have invented new cultures based on hatred and despise, and their people have to learn and practice.

USA and Europe have great interests to keep the conflicts between calmness, aggression and hope... so they can always be needed in the region to stabilize matters and control political, military and economic issues.

Arab leaders are very much unable to find any balance between their wealth and their culture.. they are lost on this road and they like to continue in this manner.

Iran and Turkey have wider dreams and find in this messy confusion a chance to restore at least some influences of their lost empires.

Any tools come among the road, whether named resistance, terrorism, extremism., Fundamentalism, Zionism, New Born Christianism etc.. is only a tool managed by the party it created it, to fight for a cause and keep the game on.

We know from history that when religion becomes political, more devastating wars occur, and when wars erupted more weapons manufactured.

And when more humans, animals and greens are killed, when more hunger emerge... there will be more money to buy and sell souls and otherwise.

I do not believe there is a problem between a Jew, a Muslim and a Christian.
Their religion is in the end .....one... even if there are different details.

The problem is with their leaders, their rabbis, there priests, there sheikhs... and probably those people are the very ones who invented those details, so there are always points of differences to cause hatred and killings... for sake of business.

Education and technology, even they are very advanced in countries like USA, Canada and parts of Europe, but they are still far to touch the people of those countries in general. This is why we see that 70% of the people of such countries are not educated and most of those are illiterate!

Education in so called Third World Countries, in poor countries and in countries of political instabilities, is nearly not more than 5-10 %.

Those uneducated people whether they live in rich or poor countries just have to follow what they are told without any question or objection.

The balance of the people are either having shares of the cakes or they are employed to do jobs they are told to do by different ways and means.

I do ask those people who are discussing peace between Palestinians and Israelis, not to fool others as they are fooling themselves.

I also ask those who are politically opposing the peace negotiations to believe that they are not believing themselves, and believe that their people are also not believing in them.

The Arab Israeli conflict is just a political issue invented by some influential political players, to keep instability in the Middle East region as well as to keep the arms trade in non stop progress.

It is about time all Jews, Christians and Muslims understand that if they believe in one God,  there is no way that this same God gives different instructions to his believers.

If God is one in heaven... Why to make him many ... on Earth?



So go for the real peace and do not waste any more time.

People are dying for the real Peace to come.


Why let them die in vain?

Entr'acte: Vatican Says No One Burns The Koran.

Entr'acte: Vatican Says No One Burns The Koran.: "On September 11, a US Pastor, a member of The Dove World Outreach Center of a Florida Church, together with his group of 50 people, are plan..."

Vatican Says No One Burns The Koran.

On September 11, a US Pastor, a member of The Dove World Outreach Center of a Florida Church, together with his group of 50 people, are planning to host an "International Burn a Quran Day"!

The Pastor wrote a book titled "Islam is of the Devil", and the church sells coffee mugs and shirts featuring the phrase!

He also claims a New Testament in Christianity and reads the Bible differently than the Christians.

I do not know, who this pastor is, but sure he seems either a sick person, or he is a person seeking some sort of publicity to draw attention.

I do not know what is the point in burning a Holy Book?

What he would feel if a fool like him from another side burns a Holy Book?

I will not say his Holy Book, because I believe he does not believe in any.

Burning copies of Holy Books, whether Koran or any Holy book, will only sparkle hatred and counter hatred, and certainly will not make any progress of any cause if ever there is a cause.

Perhaps this Pastor is seriously intending to bring such publicity, and seriously is intending to bring such hatred and counter hatred between religions, and that is why  General David Petraeus, commander of US troops in Afghanistan and with him the White House raised concerns about the Church's plan to burn copies of the Koran, warning that it could put US troops at risk.

Well, I have to admit that the General and the White House comments, are really disappointing. Because all their concerns are not to endanger the American troops?

I think their concerns should be really about how this disturbing action will deepen the holes, which already exist between the people of the two religions; Muslims and Christians.

I think their concerns should be really about how Muslims and Christians can live together in countries over the world, if such horrible actions are being carried out.

This pastor knows for real that burning copies of the Koran, (If eventually happened) will not achieve anything, except putting Christianity in an awkward and unpleasant situation. Exactly as the 11 September attacks put Islam in an awkward and unpleasant situation.

Perhaps the best said on this issue was by the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-mon, who said that plans like this by a small US church to burn copies of the Islamic holy book are deeply disturbing and such a gesture can not be tolerated by a religion.

Muslim countries are patiently waiting the US government to take a firm action against this fool and stop him from doing an ugly act that can reflect badly on America as a country, and on Christianity.

Burning copies of Koran, will not harm the Islamic religion, except in the sense that this action irritates the Muslims who are already feeling a double standard treatment from the Western world against them.

The Grandfather of Prophet Mohamed, once said when an army came to invade Makkah and destroy Kaabah: I own my cattle and I protect them; and God owns Kaabah and God Protects it.

The Holy Koran is a Holy Book preserved by God; and Muslims believe that God will certainly protect it.

If this fool really burns copies of the Koran (which I doubt), then I believe he and all his team; will get the punishment they deserve; not from any Muslim but from God.

This fool either does not know what he is up to which is bad; or he knows and this is worse.

However, he should know that Muslims can not do the same in retaliation and burn a Holy Book, because they believe in The Bible and the Torah as they believe in the Koran. And they Believe in Jesus and Moses as they believe in Mohamed.

Take out that outraged hatred from your hearts; all of you Muslims, Christians and Jews, because you are from one father and belong to one same God.

Do not let such ediots influence your minds and manipulate your souls.

Such ediots are in fact not ediots; because they know what they are doing; they are descendants of Caen and slaves of Satan.

The announcement of the Florida church, has elicited comparisons of the church's actions with those of Nazi Germany, which engaged in burnings of books written by Jews, communists and others who did not conform to Nazi ideology, as well as the European Middle Ages/Renaissance-era Roman Catholic Church, which participated in the Inquisition against persons and works which did not conform with the church's teachings.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton  said, "It's regrettable that a pastor in Gainesville, Florida with a church of no more than fifty people can make this outrageous and distressful, disgraceful plan and get, you know, the world's attention." She also said, "It doesn't in any way represent America or Americans or American government or American religious or political leadership," and she emphasized the hope of the U.S. Government that the church would not go through with their plans.

Well nice words.... But short in actions... Actually no actions!

The City Fire Department refused to grant the church a burning permit.
The bank where the church has a mortgage loan, has demanded immediate repayment of the balance and the pastor has also his property insurance cancelled.

But still no real action; to make him stop this nonsense.

Shortly after the event was announced the National Association of Evangelicals recommended that the event be canceled.

The German Evangelical Alliance which Terry Jones had led until 2008 formally dissociated itself from the proposed Qur'an burning.

The head of Iran's Islamic Culture and Relations Organization labeled the Qur'an burning proposal a "Zionist" insult.

A barrage of high-level international leaders independently weighed in, condemning the book burning event, urging that Pastor Jones and the Gainesville, Florida church group step down from their plans.

Canadian Defence Minister said that the very idea of such demonstration is insulting to Muslims and Canadians of all faiths. He called on that pastor of the Florida church to bring people together and not break them apart.

The Vatican's Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue also issued a statement saying that the book burning would be "an outrageous and grave gesture," with a headline in L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, reading "No one burns the Koran."

Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel also denounced the Qur'an-burning at an awards ceremony honoring controversial Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard to defend freedom of speech. While speaking in defense of Westergaard who in 2005 angered Muslims worldwide with his satirical Muhammad cartoon she said of the planned Florida event that "it is plainly disrespectful – even abhorrent. It's simply wrong."

So why this pastor is still insisting?

I believe for no reason.... It is just a Satanic performance and it will end and disappear as dust in the air..
