On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda Killed 2,752 people . "In 2001, 91,792 innocent babies were mudered by their mothers in New York City by way of legal induced abortions. Republican presidential candidate Rudolph W Giuliani, former Mayor of New York City, has supported this uncivilized, unchristian and barbaric act.
On November 7, 2007, Televangelist Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition, endorsed Republican presidential candidate Rudolph W Giuliani. This is the same Giuliani who supports the killing of innocent babies. Rev. Pat said, "To me, the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the blood lust of Islamic terrorists." Furthermore, "Our second goal should be the control of massive government waste and crushing federal deficits."
What would Jesus say to Pat and Rudolph?

Are Americans Indirectly Promoting Radical Muslim Ideologies in The United States?
Saturday, November 10, 2007
Radical Muslims do not believe in women; therefore, they oppress them. Most Americans believe there will never be a female president in the United States, at least not now. This belief is not too far from the Muslim belief that women do not have the will to lead or be head of states. Currently, there are forty-four countries that do not share the same belief with the United States and Radical Muslims. Below is a list of countries that have elected women to serve as head of states. When will the United States join the list?
