Arab Heads of State Caused Gaza and Flotilla Massacres, Not Israel

It was not Israel who was responsible for the tragic events of both the totally inhumane massacres in Gaza of innocent civilians and for pulverizing Gaza's vulnerable infrastructure. Rather, it was the irresponsible attitudes of the religious advisers of Muslim Heads of State and those Heads of States' consistent failure to demand insight and integrity on religious matters by their vitally important religious advisers. And the very same observation can be made about the negative role of religious advisers being the most responsible for the needless murders by the Israelis of the nine Turkish unarmed peace activists sailing in neutral international waters on their way to challenge the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza and to take legal humanitarian aid to the imprisoned Gazans. Once again, if the religious advisors would have been worth the weight of salt in a small salt shaker, neither of these two ugly, inhumane massacres needs to have occurred.

As you may consider me to be possibly crazy/majnoon for holding responsible Arab Heads of State instead of totally blaming the Israeli leaders for these two massacres, I will now provide some background of how I arrived at my radical, apparently counter-intuitive conclusions.

Being 77 years old, when I flew from to Seattle from 72 days near Amman Jordan, the 19 hours of flight time via New York to Seattle left me quite wiped out from 10 hours of jetlag. Consequently, my sleeping schedule was very mixed up. So I put 17 summer magazines beside my bed to read when I couldn't sleep. As luck would have it, the magazine that I happened to pick up was the July 7th Newsweek which contained an interview with the major investigator for the U.N. of the Gaza Massacre, Professor Goldstone who authored the report on the 1999 Gaza War which I call the Gaza Massacre. So I knew immediately when I opened the magazine directly to this Goldstone report, that I would encounter in the article ugly details about what the U.S. supported Israeli war machine had done to the relatively defenseless, virtually imprisoned Gazan families. So the more I forced myself to read the more depressed and almost ill that I became at the needless slaughter of Gazans and unnecessary destruction of their vitally needed infrastructure.

Then suddenly an obvious linkage invaded my mind of the kind that few others consider relevant. But I consider this linkage quite relevant. Since living in Saudi Arabia 33 years ago, and studying the Quran's teaching with about six retired Saudi Generals there for about a total of seven hours over a four week period, I have become quite familiar with the Quran's different perspective on whether ALLAH's Messiah died or did not die; whether ALLAH raised him from death or ALLAH did not raise him from death; and whether there is a presently a Risen Messiah from ALLAH who is now accessible to aid and relate to Muslims or whether there is not a compassionate Risen Messiah who is now present to aid and relate to Muslims.

So suddenly at that moment my thoughts and prayers of 33 years converged. I realized that one strong statement from ALLAH in one grand verse of the Holy Quran was virtually shouting a vital message to ARAB Heads of State; that if these leaders would hear and heed that message, they had the potential to prevent the kinds of U.S. and Israeli initiated massacres that I previously listed and will later list additional U.S. and Israel initiated avoidable massacres.

But that message and linkage that Muslims so need to hear, they do not hear because their own hands and the hands of their religious advisors is each covering their own ears because they have purposely chosen to resist the painful truth of the Quran's true message. Thus, they provide themselves with the excuse of being unaware and can continue enjoying their self-satisfying status quo.

This message that Muslim leaders avoid has the dynamic potential to shake the whole Middle East including Israel, but also to shake the U.S. The message is that ALLAH Himself has made an earth shaking, water-shed declaration in Al-Imran 3:55 of the Quran that Muslim leaders have refused to hear about the Messiah being caused to die (mutawafiik) and ALLAH raising him up alive. Instead they have figuratively thrown ALLAH's own glorious declaration into the garbage or worse yet, into the smelly drainage ditch. ALLAH's Wonderful words have been thrown away in order to be replaced by the lie of a man invented bizarre myth.

You legitimately ask: "But how could wise Muslim leaders possibly make such a crucial err of substituting a man made myth for what ALLAH stated in the Quran?" Because they have allowed silver tongued Muslim con artists to deceive them into believing an ugly lie. The con artists first convinced Muslims to not realize that when 4:157 uses the phrase shubbiiha that this term did not need to necessarily mean that the Messiah's appearance was put on someone else and that the other person was killed instead of ALLAH's Messiah.

Secondly, the con artists convinced Muslim leaders to believe that it was more pleasing to ALLAH to believe a man invented lie or myth that accounts for the supposed transfer of appearance to a look-a-like Messiah that of course only took place in the vivid imagination of the myths inventors, than to believe the very words of ALLAH as recorded in 3:55 of the Quran.

Thirdly, the con artists convinced readers of 4:157 to believe a distortion of what 4:157 appears to mean and to believe both the myth and the distortion of the true combined meaning of 4:157 and 158 instead of believing what ALLAH Himself had explicitly and forcefully said about the Messiah both dying and about He, ALLAH raising him up alive. The only spiritual requirement for the Muslim leaders had been to listen closely to the vital message that ALLAH still continues to shout to them from Al-Imran 3:55 in their own Quran and not to throw ALLAH's very words into the ditch.

In their own Quran ALLAH definitely tells both Heads of State and their religious advisors that He, ALLAH will definitely oversee the death of Isa/Jesus and that it will be He, Himself who will be the One to raise him up from death. Consequently, the conclusive statement by ALLAH Himself about the Messiah's death and being raised to new life should have put to rest any controversy about how to understand the complicated meaning of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158. But this truth spoken by ALLAH Himself has not been allowed by leaders to free them from worshipping their man made myth.

Here are the very words from the Arabic of Al-Imran 3:55. I emphasize that these words are an accurate translation of the meaning of the original Arabic because the English translation of this important word in the Quran, mutawafiik meaning to cause to die, makes it appear that when this particular important word is translated into English, that a possible deliberate attempt has been made to partially hide the force of the strong Arabic verb, mutawafiik which means to cause to die. The translators do this by using the much weaker euphemism of "I will take you," and omit the powerful and explicit powerful verb phrase, mutawafiik which definitely means, "will cause you to die!"

So here is the faithful English translation that clearly confirms both the death and the later wondrous, being raised from death, of ALLAH's only Messiah; Isa/Jesus. Yet, despite the power of the verse which confirms these two historically significant events of the death and being raised alive, all Muslims have been virtually forced to believe that these two events did not occur despite ALLAH Himself so clearly affirming that they did occur. And not only that. ALLAH emphasizes that He Himself was involved in their occurrence.

"Behold! ALLAH said: 'O Isa! (Jesus) I will cause you to die (mutawafiik) and raise you to myself.'"

Behold, O Muslims, here is the reality you must now face and it is not too late to now change. But you can learn from this tragedy to make certain that such tragedies do not occur in the future. If you Muslim leaders had stopped throwing the truth contained in Al-Imran 3:55 about the Messiah's death and being raised alive into the drainage ditch and had truly listened to ALLAH's own words, rather than disgracefully treating His sacred proclamation as garbage. Instead you should have treated as garbage the lie contained in a man invented myth. If you had not believed the lie about ALLAH's Messiah having a substitute, here are a few of the recent tragic events that quite probably would have been prevented from occurring if truth in the matter of the Messiah's death and being raised alive by ALLAH would have triumphed in Islam by sooner taking seriously the words of ALLAH in An-Nisa 3:55.

One: There would have been at least two fewer massacres in Lebanon by the Israeli's.

Two: There would have been no Sabre and Shatilla calloused massacres of whole Palestinian families by wicked Christian Militias in cooperation with Israeli forces.

Three and Four: There would have been no two deliberate massacres in Iraq by the U.S. with coerced international assistance.

Five and Six: There would have been no 2009 massacre of imprisoned Gazans by Israeli heavily armed forces and no massacre of nine unarmed Turks on a peace ship in international waters taking legal humanitarian aid to imprisoned Gazans. For participating in that act of mercy the nine were murdered by heavily armed Israeli commandos.

How could these six massacres have been prevented? By having prevented Islam's leaders from shamefully covering up the death and glorious historical being raised to new life of ALLAH's now Risen Bethlehem man by using a ridiculous man-invented myth about a CIA type identity switch which is neither in the Quran nor is the myth at all supported by the Quran.

Additionally, you have shamed ALLAH and the Holy Quran by indicating that the Quran has involved the majestic ALLAH in an amateur identity switch that supposedly needed ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and His Eternal Might to accomplish this amateur act which is far, far below His dignity for Him to be involved in. (An-Nisa 4:158).

But if instead of all this finding of excuses for turning away from the Al-Imran 3:55 truth about ALLAH's victories over his Jewish assailants and over death itself, if you would have believed ALLAH's own words, here is what very likely would have occurred that would have prevented these many Israeli and U.S. initiated massacres and tragedies. If you had not foolishly thrown away ALLAH's confirmed truth of his Messiah's being raised to new life and thus his accessibility to Muslims, then quite likely millions of sincere Mid East Muslims would have realized it is ALLAH's Will that they enthusiastically and warmly embrace him.

Therefore, the following changes would have occurred in the battle for influence in the minds and hearts of U.S. decision makers regarding Israelis and Arab Muslims in the Middle East. Yes, if now the balance will suddenly swing in strong favoritism toward Arab Muslims due to open knowledge of so many ten of thousands if not millions of Muslims embracing ALLAH's Risen Messiah who had become accessible to them, then Israel, the U.S. Congress and Pentagon will experience a spiritual shaking like it will be difficult to imagine.

So imagine this for a minute if you are able. Please grasp if you can what may now happen in the near future to millions of sincere praying Muslims when they fully realize that it is ALLAH's definite Will that they embrace His Own Risen Messiah. This is the Messiah for whom ALLAH used His own Eternal Wisdom and His own Eternal Power and Might to raise him from death in order for him to be accessible as a compassionate good shepherd for Muslims.

Also imagine if you are able the absolute hysteria that will take place in Israel and in the U.S. Congress, in the U.S. Pentagon, in the White House, and in the Israeli Lobby when the VIP's in each of those entities discover that there is presently occurring a mighty embracing of the Risen Messiah among Muslims. Although the theology of the new Muslim embracers of ALLAH's Risen Messiah Isa/Jesus will differ in many view points with traditional Christians, a new dynamic movement will have arisen which will cause all of these entities which have been generally Islamophobic and have consistently supported Israeli interests while always, unjustly opposing Muslims, will now become less arrogant entities which will tremble, tremble, tremble with fear and uncertainty. For the Israelis to suddenly be less in U.S. favor means that they will be virtually alone in their adamant rejection of Jesus as GOD's Risen Messiah. Significantly, in favor of the Muslim cause is that Muslims are now warmly welcoming ALLAH's own Risen man from Bethlehem during a period when many former Christians in the U.S. are only slightly warm to their Risen Messiah due to their heavy infatuation with their new idols of weapons and militarism as well as to their preoccupation with frantically building up their own new fighting terrorists industry. Therefore, the new, refreshing, warm commitment by enthusiastic Muslims to the Risen, compassionate Messiah will at least temporarily put Muslims in the driver's seat as far as having a relevant, dynamic relationship with ALLAH's own dynamic, Risen man from now occupied Bethlehem that will be very pleasing to GOD/ALLAH.

Don't Mess With ALLAH's Events

Muslims may consider it no big deal whether God's Messiah died or he did not die, no big deal whether ALLAH raised him up alive or that he was not raised up alive. But man has a bad tendency to forget that these events are much, much more important than an irrelevant theological issue. These events are two of the most important real events to ever occur in GOD's interactions with man. And God is GOD and is not just a minor figure in history like a goalie for the World Campion Spanish football/soccer team. He is GOD who created the universe and who controls the air we breathe. I repeat, He is not an insignificant figure in our World like the President of France or the President of the U.S. or like a wealthy Emir of one of the UAE Emirates. Instead, He is GOD who created the world in which these men have their tiny palaces. He is ALLAH and we must stand in awe of him and tremble.

Therefore, when a Muslim leader is truly wise, he does not himself mess with what GOD has done and what He has not done because it is not wise to mess with GOD. So if the leader is wise, with fear and trembling he examines the evidence and goes with it, not in any way attempting to modify ALLAH's events, His plans, and His agenda. So because ALLAH explicitly proclaims in Al-Imran 3:55 that His Isa was caused to die (mutawafiik) and then was raised up to ALLAH, a wise Muslim will not second guess that and instead foolishly choose to believe a man-invented myth that contradicts ALLAH's truth in order to attempt to change what historically occurred. For that is to mess with the planned acts of ALLAH Himself and that is a very unwise and dangerous thing to do.

Can you, O Muslim Arab Heads of State grasp the new reality that will exist under the new changing spiritual/psychological dynamics? It will become obvious that when U.S. leaders now see the new writing on the wall informing them that millions of millions of Middle Eastern Muslims now have experienced a sincere dynamic embracing of ALLAH's own Risen Bethlehem man, that many U.S. leaders will adjust their rigid pro Israel attitudes. This will even include the extraordinarily pro-Israel U.S. Vice President, who will no longer continue walking the same cozy path with Israel and will simultaneously discontinue publicly stabbing the new embracers of GOD's Own Risen Messiah in the back?

Yes! The balance will at least temporarily shift. When this new equation becomes a dynamic reality in the hearts, homes, mosques, streets and office buildings of the Middle East, the U.S. will not dare to allow Israel to consistently have a green light for more Sabras and Shatillas, more bombings of Lebanon, more Gaza massacres, more Turkish peace ship massacres, more bloody invasions and occupations of Iraq, etc. etc. etc.

For Heads of State to Chose a Myth and Misunderstand An-Nisa 4:157 in Preference to ALLAH Himself Speaking in Al-Imran 3:55 Equals a Cartoon-Like Indefensible Choice

The words written in an Nisa 4:157 about the Messiah supposedly not dying and then not being raised by ALLAH from death has had a vice like lock on the minds of Muslims that the wicked cancellation of his death and victorious being raised to new life does not deserve. Here are the reasons that this present cancellation of historical truth from ALLAH must itself be immediately cancelled by responsible Arabic Muslim Heads of State.

Five Reasons for Canceling the Wicked Cancellation of ALLAH's Historic Truth

One: Since there are numerous reasons to not take 4:157 in An-Nisa literally, it is ludicrous if not suicidal for the previously respected religion of Islam to have leaders who would place more value on the ferry tales contained in a ridiculous man made myth about the identity of the Messiah supposedly being super-imposed on a substitute Messiah than to believe the very clear declaration of ALLAH Himself stated in Al-Imran 3:55 that supports the Messiah both dying and rising.

Two: It is absolutely disgraceful and even blasphemous to believe such a man made lie in the myth and to simultaneously literally throw the truth spoken by ALLAH Himself in Al-Imran 3:55 into the garbage. Or worse yet, to throw the truth into the smelly drainage ditch that carries human waste. I repeat for emphasis, to ignore and trample on ALLAH's own words in Al-Imran 3:55 confirming His Own Messiah's death and being raised alive which is clearly emphasized in the previous Scriptures are scandalous. Ignoring ALLAH's decisive declaration cannot bode well for the future of Islam. For leaders to support treating the Words spoken by ALLAH Himself in this horrible, rejecting manner is disgraceful.

Three: The term shubbiiha lahum that is used to support the supposed amateur identity transfer does not demand or require that this term be understood to only have this one specific extreme meaning. But this way of understanding this Arabic verb and its pronoun object is so deeply rooted in the minds of Muslims that it will be similar to skilled dentists performing root canals to get this particular wrong use of the verb out of Muslims' minds. And it will take great skill to get the more applicable use of the verb in this situation into sincere Muslims' minds.

The verb definitely has the meaning of "it appeared so unto them" or it appeared unto them. This is quite similar to a mother saying that it "appeared to her" that her son was enjoying his math teacher when the boy really did not enjoy his math teacher. So what appeared to be true was not true, even though it appeared to be true. Because appearances can be deceiving.

So it appeared to those Jews who so badly wanted the Messiah to be totally, forever dead, that they had been successful in their evil plot just as Al-Imran 3:54 implies.

But what appeared to them to have been finished because Isa-Jesus appeared to be (shubbiiha) totally dead, was not the case because ALLAH planned or plotted to raise him up alive. And so that is exactly what ALLAH used His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to do. (See An-Nisa 4:158) So it had been absolutely accurate for An-Nisa 4:157 to state that he had not been killed or crucified because those two words imply permanence and because ALLAH raised him alive and he had truly not been "killed or crucified" in the truth sense of the meaning of those two words.

Four: Therefore, to believe a totally wrong explanation of not killed and not crucified in 4:157 and to how a wrong understanding of Shubbiiha that was understood so that it required a man made ferry tale to make sense out of it was quite damaging to Muslims. Instead, Muslims should have accepted the much more logical explanations that I have just given.

My logical explanations have the backing of the clear statement by ALLAH Himself in Al-Imran 3:55. But their myth and CIA identity change explanation requires the blasphemy of ALLAH's Own Words being disregarded and rejected, and even worse, figuratively and arrogantly thrown into a smelly drainage ditch to be totally ignored and forgotten. What a horrible sin against ALLAH for Muslim Arab Statesmen and their religious advisors to have committed. May ALLAH show them Mercy.

Five: My last reason for canceling the cancellation by Muslim leaders of the truth spoken by ALLAH Himself of His own anointed Messiah's death and being raised from death is this: It has been ALLAH's long term plan for especially the Muslim people of the Middle East to enjoy the absence of bloodshed as they unite under the banner of His Risen Messiah. But the attempted cancellation by Muslim leaders of the Messiah's death and resurrection in the minds of the entire world's Islamic Community has made possible far too much death and suffering for the Middle East Muslim people than ever should have occurred. But it will no longer occur when the truth from ALLAH in Al-Imran 3:55 and his being raised to new life is allowed to triumph over the lie and myth that Muslim leaders have manipulated An-Nisa 4:157 to become. But I am convinced that present Muslim Arab Heads of State will finally realize this: That honoring a total myth and honoring a horrendous mistake about the true meaning of a very profound verse cannot begin to be superior for the people of Islam than honoring ALLAH's own clear words about the truth of the death and resurrection of His Own Messiah. For ALLAH has long desired for His Muslim people to bond with the Messiah whom Al-Imran 3:55 clearly teaches has been raised to new life.

In order to add interest and drama to the vital role that the words of ALLAH Himself spoken in Al-Imran 3:55 has had in defeating the evil way that certain Muslim leaders have manipulated An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 to temporarily wickedly cancel

ALLAH's Messiah's death and ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Might in raising him up alive, I have personally designed my own scenario based on the truth of ALLAH's Own Words powerfully spoken in Al-Imran 3:55.

Bedouin Hero Jet Fighter Al-Imran 3:55
Glossary of Truth VS. Falsehood

Truth

Falsehood

Judge

There suddenly appeared in the desert sky a young daring Bedouin fighter pilot with the code name Al-Ital 3:55. He was known in every village and city throughout the Kingdom of Saud for his integrity and bravery. Two things this young pilot could not tolerate were deceit and lies.

His Jet had the reputation for being faster than the speed of light although it was only twice as fast as the speed of sound. Written in beautiful Arabic on both sides of his jet were the words Evil Myth Attacker.

One very bright sunny day Al-Imran 3:55 spotted a much slower enemy jet named Destructive Myth. This enemy jet was seen to be attacking ALLAH's vulnerable Risen Messiah while he was busy providing refreshing water to thirsty Arab Muslim tribesmen who were lost under the blazing sun in the desert. Suddenly, with an amazing maneuver Al-Imran 3:55 let loose one of his rockets named Truth Triumphs. He accurately fired his first rocket at the enemy plane of Shaitan as he was about to fire his machine gun, Distributor of Lies, at the Risen Messiah and at the thirsty, vulnerable tribesmen. But before the enemy plane's machine guns could be fired at the Messiah and the thirsty tribesmen, the blazing Truth Triumphs rocket found its target and blasted Destructive Myth right out of the desert sky, shattering it into five million fragments, never to harm another sincere Muslim who was seeking ALLAH's truth. In fact, the shattered tiny fragments mixed with the deserts sand so you could not tell the difference between the sand and the tiny shattered fragments.

So the exciting legend of the amazing triumphs of the courageous, daring Jet Pilot the Bedouin-code named Al-Imran 3:55 spread like a mighty tidal wave over the entire Middle East and well beyond. No more rockets had to be fired because the Truth Triumphs rocket was able to totally defeat Shaitan flying his Destruction Myth Jet. The combination of the Pilot – Al-Imran 3:55 skillfully flying his Evil Myth Attacker Jet was not truly challenged by Shaitan in his Destructive Myth jet when they finally met in a fair open battle.

ALLAH's Judge named Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might totally declared Al-Imran 3:55 the decisive winner.

Thanks for listening.
