New Schedule for Posting My Journal Entries
I encourage you to read additional comments
at the bottom of the article: "Add Your Own"
Thank you for reading my Blog, A CITIZEN'S LINE over the past six months. I am changing the entry schedule from 'every Sunday' to 'when I have an idea'...not any fixed entry schedule. Here's why....for the next several months I will be actively writing a book on our personal experiences in Lahore, Pakistan, and Tehran, Iran.
We had some rather harrowing times in both countries, and I want to write them in a book of about 300 pages. The book will expose some of the character of the muslim mentality, and discuss how really HOT Tehran got during the time we were there, and how that relates to the events going on in that part of the world today.
I will write our observations of the good of the muslim people we saw, the bad of the sunni muslims of Pakistan and the shiite muslims of Iran, and the ugliness of the way people are treated in many, many cases. For example, the conversion of one young muslim girl resulted in her husband putting her to death after she told him she had been baptized and was a christian. It gave me much pause, as I was the one who baptized her.
The first 45 pages are written, and I am working early in the morning before I have to go to work. I write from about 5:30 am until about 8:30 am or later. It is tedious work, but I want to relate the minds and hearts of the people then with the effect that the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had on Osama bin Laden, and even on the current Iranian President Ahmadinejan, who said, "Israel should be pushed into the sea", and that there "...was no Holocaust of the Jews".
How did Khomeini gain a victory over the United States, which he called "The Great Satan"?
How did he influence Bin Laden?
What impact did he have on the entire muslim world?
These things I am addressing in the new book.
Thanks again for reading this Blog...I hope to renew it later on this summer.

I'm excited about your upcoming book. It sounds very interesting and I will definitely buy it when it becomes available.

I hope you are honest enough when discussing Khomeini/Iran to acknowledge the US Operation Ajax in 1953 that overthrew a democratic government in 1953 and replaced it with a totalitarian monarch who mass-murdered hundreds of thousands by his secret police. Radical hostility was created as a response to US created terrorism.

Americans have done hundreds of things to assist the Muslims develop the health and welfare of their countries. Usually this is done in their countries while the Americans there respect their customs of culture and religion. Even when the Muslims are in the US their customs are not restricted and are respected by Americans. Some of these things Americans have done for the Muslim are as follows:'
1...Allowed Muslims to immigrate to the US.
2...Allowed freedom of religion to Muslims in the US.
3...Allowed Muslim students to receive the highest level of education in US schools.
4...Developed oil industry, turned it over to them, and bought the oil they produced at high prices, giving them excessive profits to use in their own ways (often in ways detrimental to US interests).
5...Developed water desalinization plants to provide fresh water to their arid areas.
6...Provided water purification systems throughout their countries.
7...Made economic partners of all Muslims nations who would do so.
8...Provided medical care, training, hospitals, supplies.
9...Always responded in emergencies and crises.
10..Built communications systems throughout their countries.
11..Provided information, engineering, and labor to install sanitation systems and programs across their lands.
12..Built dams and power systems to reach all their cities.
13..Built highways and roads and airports and skyscrapers.
14..Taught and demonstrated agricultural programs and methods.
15..Provided heavy and light equipment and materials for building all aspects of their infrastructure.
16..Established schools, training, and teachers for their children.
What do we ask of the Muslims? Simply, quit killing us and invading our territory.
And what have Muslims returned? HATE, DEATH, JIHAD, BOMBS, TERROR, ILL WILL, TROUBL
