MUSLIM NATIONS (SLAUGHTERED BY NUKES FOR COMING AGAINST ISRAEL)

EZEKIEL 36:4-5
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire (NUCLEAR BOMBS) of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea,(ARAB-MUSLIMS) which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,(OF MY ANGER) because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are (Round) about you,(ARAB-MUSLIMS) they shall bear their shame.(AND BE NUKED)

EZEKIEL 35:9-11
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy (ARABS) cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Because thou (ARABS) hast said, These two nations (ISRAEL & JUDAH) and these two countries (ISRAEL & JUDAH) shall be mine, and we (ARABS) will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy (GELIOUSY) which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them;(ISRAELIS) and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.(ARABS)

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-21
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)

36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven,(IRANIANS SCATTERED OR MASS IMIGARATION) and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.(WORLD IMMIGRATION)
37 For I will cause Elam (IRAN-BUSHEHR NUKE SITE) to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger,(ISRAELS NUKES POSSIBLY) saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:(IRAN AND ITS NUKE SITES DESTROYED)

ISAIAH 17:1,11-14
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,(USELESS U.N) that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14 And behold at evening tide trouble; and before the morning he is not.(ASSAD KILLED IN OVERNIGHT RAID) This is the portion of them that spoil us,(ISRAEL) and the lot of them that rob us.

AMOS 1:5

23 Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)

PSALMS 83:3-7
3 They (ARABS,MUSLIMS) have taken crafty counsel against thy people,(ISRAEL) and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they (MUSLIMS) have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:(TREATIES)

3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses,(ISRAELS ARMY) at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;(ISRAEL POSSIBLY NUKES GAZA)
4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines,(PALESTINIAN FAKE ARABS) and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza;(NUKED POSSIBLY) Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? (MEDITTERANEAN SEA) there hath he appointed it.

EGYPT

ISAIAH 19:1-5
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

JOEL 2:3,20,30-31

16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts,(WHEN RUSSIA/MUSLIMS GET DEFEATED THIER BODIES GET EATEN BY BIRDS,ANIMALS IN ISRAEL MIGRATION SEASON) and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee;(NUKES) and I will bring the sword upon thee.

Ukraine says Europe at risk of 'terrible war'-Today @ 09:30-SEPT 19,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - Ukraine leader Petro Poroshenko has warned the US that Europe is at risk of a “terrible and unimaginable … war” despite his two-week ceasefire with Russia.But his speech, to US congress members and senators in Washington on Thursday (18 September), failed to convince the White House to send military assistance.Referring to Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its invasion of east Ukraine, he accused the Kremlin of having an “imperialistic mindset” which threatens not just Ukraine, Georgia, or Moldova, but also EU and Nato countries such as the Baltic states, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria.“Is the possibility of a new, terrible and unimaginable European war there? Is what until recently seemed unthinkable now becoming a reality? Sadly, today, the answer to these questions is – ‘Yes’.”He said he will not try to retake Crimea by force. He also said he is “convinced that the people of Ukraine and the people of Russia have enough goodwill to give peace one last chance”.But he urged the US to start arming the Ukrainian military in case the ceasefire collapses.“They need more military equipment – both non-lethal and lethal. Blankets and night-vision goggles are important. But one cannot win a war with blankets”, he said.His speech comes after a leaked EU paper brought to light a fresh threat by Russian leader Vladimir Putin."If I wanted to, in two days Russian troops could be not only in Kiev, but in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw or Bucharest," Putin is said to have recently told Poroshenko, according to the minutes of the Ukrainian leader’s conversation with European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso in Kiev last week obtained by German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung.Poroshenko’s US speech was greeted by standing ovations on Capitol Hill.But the White House said only it plans to give him another $53 million in non-lethal aid - $7 million for humanitarian assistance, and the rest for equipment such as counter-mortar detection units, body armor, binoculars, and small boats.With Russia’s annual military spending dwarfing Ukraine’s by a factor of 20 to one, a senior US official told press that American weapons would make no difference if worst comes to worst.“There's no sense that there's an effective military edge that could be given that could change the overall balance … Ukraine would be extremely vulnerable to a fully supported Russian attack”.For their part, the EU and Ukraine recently made a big concession to Russia by agreeing to freeze their free trade pact until 2016.But Russia on Thursday said it wants more.Its foreign ministry noted in a statement that the trade pact should be “modified” in substance, carving out large chunks of EU products to qualify for tariff-free imports.It added that if Russia does not get its way, “we reserve the right to respond swiftly” with trade penalties against Ukraine.“Fairly obvious that Moscow is using combination of pressure and salami tactics to try to unravel [the] EU-Ukraine agreement”, Sweden’s outgoing foreign minister and one of the co-authors of the trade treaty, Carl Bildt, said.Following on from Putin’s reported threat to Warsaw, the Polish foreign affairs thinktank, Pism, also published a series of potential scenarios for the conflict.It said there is a 50 percent chance that Russia will, in October, launch a new offensive in south east Ukraine designed to create a land-bridge to Crimea.It said there is a 30 percent chance that by the end of the year Russian leader Vladimir Putin will try to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea by conquering all of south Ukraine.It said the worst case is a full-scale invasion, including of Kiev.

Scotland chooses to stay in UK-Today @ 07:10-SEPT 19,14-EUOBSERVER-By Valentina Pop

Edinburgh - Voters in Scotland on Thursday (18 September) said No to independence from the UK, but the intense campaigning and the record-high turnout are seen as examples for separatist movements elsewhere in Europe.Official results early Friday morning show that 55 percent of people opposed independence, while 45 percent voted in favour.Turnout was at a record high, of 85 percent.Scottish Nationalist Party leader, Alex Salmond, who is also the governor of Scotland, tweeted that "this has been a remarkable day. Scotland's future truly is in Scotland's hands."Salmond is the one who initiated the referendum campaign and who had wanted three options on the ballot papers: independence; the status quo; or more devolution for Scotland.He may have not won the independence quest - but he did win on the devolution front.The British government led by David Cameron in the beginning only accepted the independence question, as they did not want to grant more powers to the regional government in Edinburgh. The logic in Westminster was also that Scots will never vote for independence, given that polls at the time were showing a comfortable majority against it - as high as 65 percent in 2013.But the Yes campaign gained traction and energised people who normally did not engage in elections, with a shock poll early September putting the Yes camp for the first time in the lead. Cameron and the leaders of the two other main parties in Westminister - Labour and the Liberal-Democrats - then signed a pledge to give more powers to Scotland if they vote No.Cameron and the other leaders will now have to deliver on those promises and also face claims from the other regions - Wales, England and Northern Ireland - for more money and powers.Daniel Kenealy, a political scientist with the University of Edinburgh, told this website that "in terms of this very long campaign the result for Yes is actually very strong indeed," as only a few months back people were talking about a 60 percent win for the No campaign."What this means, I think, for British politics is that much thought now needs to be given to our constitutional arrangements," he said.In terms of demographics, an early analysis of the vote suggests that those born in the rest of the UK, Scotland's pensioners, and Scotland's middle class "sealed this victory for 'Better Together'. But the longer-term message is clear: constitutional change will have to be delivered," Kenealy said.Tom Gallagher, an Edinburgh-based political scientist, also sees constitutional reforms ahead."I hope the UK political elite will put aside some of its partisanship so as to pursue governance reforms across Britain, perhaps offering an example to other EU states where there is also a populist challenge," he said.

Model for other movements

Even with the No, Scotland remains a model for other separatist movements in Europe and the world, it emerged at gathering of pro-autonomy and pro-independence parties in Edinburgh on Thursday.Daniel Turp, a constitutional law professor at the University of Montreal and a supporter of independence for Quebec, said that the Scottish campaign was "very well organised" and that it started two years ago, with relentless efforts to change people's minds.Turp said the No does not mean the fight is over: "We say 'a la prochaine' [until next time]. We had the same in Quebec - we said No twice, but I am convinced there will be a third time and then it will become independent."A similar prediction came from Josep Maria Terricabras, a Catalan politician and chief of the European Free Alliance group in the European Parliament, whose 12 members come from pro-independence parties."It's no tragedy, we'll try again and again. We are now preparing for 9 November," he said, in reference to a referendum in Catalonia which is however not recognised by the government in Madrid, since the Spanish constitution prohibits attempts to secede."We know our reasons are valid and powerful and we hope to convince them, if not now, soon, but hopefully not in the 23rd century," he joked.Other movements such as the Frieslander in north-eastern Netherlands, are not pushing for independence, but for more autonomy and language rights."I believe in Europe of the regions, not the nations. Self-determination at a regional level, representation and laws decided at the EU level," Sjoerd Groenhof, an engineer from Friesland told EUobserver.

Scotland's Leader Steps Down Following Referendum-Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond, will stand down after failing to secure a majority for independence in Thursday's referendum.By Ben Ariel, Canada-First Publish: 9/19/2014, 8:51 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond, said on Friday he will stand down as first minister and Scottish National party (SNP) leader after failing to secure a majority for independence in Thursday's referendum.According to the Guardian, Salmond told a press conference in his official residence of Bute House that he would stand down as first minister in November when a new SNP leader will be chosen.He said he had made the decision in the morning after the referendum result emerged, saying, "For me right now there is a decision as to who is best placed to lead this process forward politically.”"I believe that in this new exciting situation, redolent with possibility, party, parliament and country would benefit from new leadership," added Salmond.He said he would not accept the SNP's nomination to be a candidate for leader at the party's annual conference in Perth in November, allowing a new party leader to be elected.Given the SNP's majority in the Scottish parliament, the new leader will also become first minister.Despite defeat in the referendum, his decision is a surprise, as Salmond had repeatedly stated before the vote that he planned to stay on until after the 2016 Scottish election, according to the Guardian.Salmond is likely to be succeeded by his deputy Nicola Sturgeon, who has become a commanding figure in the independence campaign after being appointed by Salmond to lead the referendum process.Speaking minutes after Salmond's announcement, Sturgeon said that she could think of "no greater privilege" than to succeed Salmond as SNP leader and first minister, but that the decision "is not for today".On Friday morning, with 30 of the country's 32 council areas counted, it was obvious that an insurmountable lead had been given to opponents of independence from the UK.The vote ended with approximately a 55% to 45% margin of victory.(Arutz Sheva’s North American desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Catalonia to press ahead with referendum after Scottish No-Today @ 16:06-SEPT 19,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Catalan leader Artur Mas has said the Scottish referendum has reinforced his plan to hold a similar vote at home.Speaking in Barcelona on Friday (19 September), he noted that the devolved Catalan parliament is likely to pass a law on the referendum later the same day.“I will sign the decree on this consultation in Catalonia. In fact, I will call this consultation on 9 November as agreed some months ago with the majority of Catalan political forces”.He said he would have preferred it if Scotland had voted Yes.But he added: “I am happy, not because of the result of the referendum, but because there was one … I am very happy because we have a precedent in the European Union, a very powerful precedent, that these kind of differences can be resolved through a referendum”.“It’s a very powerful message that the UK is sending to the entire world”.For his part, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy earlier the same day welcomed the No vote.He said Scotland had opted for “security” instead of “segregation” and had acted “with scrupulous respect for the legality of its country”.The reference to “legality” comes amid Madrid’s warning that the Catalan vote is unconstitutional.If Mas signs the local law into force, Rajoy is expected to call an emergency cabinet meeting over the weekend and to seek the opinion of constitutional court as early as Monday.Mas in his press conference warned Rajoy not to block the process, however.“If in Madrid they think that only using the legal framework they can stop the political will of the majority of Catalonian people, they are wrong. It’s a big mistake”, he said.“Is it possible to block a referendum? Maybe. But a real democrat would refuse to do [so]”.Mas admitted that most leaders of EU countries, as well as the EU institutions, do not want to see the British precedent stimulate similar votes in other parts of Europe.But he noted that if Scotland had said Yes, they would had to make a deal.“Probably these leaders don’t like independence processes, but they accept the results [of referendums]”, he said.With the Catalan “consultation”, unlike the Scottish vote, to have a non-binding status in legal terms, he added: “We would not have independence the next day. We would have to speak, to negotiate with Spanish institutions and with the EU”.“It’s all about negotiations, finding compromises which are good for everyone, including, of course, Spain”.

UN urges global support for Iraq to fight terror-Kerry says every country — including Iran — has role to play against Islamic State, expresses outrage at killing, rape and torture-By Edith Lederer September 19, 2014, 11:56 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The UN Security Council urged the international community Friday to expand support for the Iraqi government as it fights the Islamic State group and its allies, and US Secretary of State John Kerry said there is a role for nearly every country in the world — including Iran.The presidential statement approved by all 15 council members at a meeting chaired by Kerry expressed “deep outrage” at the killing, kidnapping, rape and torture carried out by the Islamic State group. Some of those acts might constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, it said.Kerry convened the council to show support for the new Iraqi government in its efforts to combat the Islamic State group and to mobilize the world against the extremists who control a large swath of Syria and north and western Iraq. He did so a day after Congress approved the Obama administration’s plan authorizing the US military to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels fighting Islamic State militants.“If left unchecked, these terrorists … impose a growing threat beyond the region because they have already promised it,” Kerry told the meeting that brought more than two dozen ministers to UN headquarters. Nikolay Mladenov, the UN’s top envoy in Iraq, said the UN estimates that since January there have been at least 25,000 civilian casualties including at least 8,500 killed and more than 16,000 wounded. Since the beginning of June, when Islamic State fighters swept across the border into Iraq, he said at least 4,700 civilians have been killed and some 6,500 wounded, he said.Minority communities including Christians, Yezidis, Shabaks, Turkmen and others have been targeted by Islamic State fighters deliberately cleansing territories under their control, perpetrating crimes that may also amount to genocide, Mladenov said.“We are facing throat-cutters,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said. “They rape, crucify and decapitate. They use cruelty as a means of propaganda. Their aim is to erase borders and to eradicate the rule of law and civil society.”Fabius said the Islamic State fighters represent a challenge to the international order and warned that in the future their targets will extend way beyond Syria and Iraq.A few hours before the gathering at UN headquarters, French fighter jets struck militant Islamic State group targets in Iraq, becoming the first country to publicly add military muscle to United States airstrikes against the group.Kerry said the group has no vision beyond the slaughter of those who stand in its way.“These terrorists are actually unique in their brutality,” Kerry said. “They execute captured prisoners, kneeling them down and tying their hands behind their back, bullet through their head. They kill children. They enslave, rape and force women into marriage.”Iraq’s new, foreign minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, called for military, economic and financial assistance to help his country fight Islamic State group.“This major threat should be removed not only from Iraq but from any other country,” al-Jaafari said.Kerry said leaders aren’t talking about whether they should support the campaign against the Islamic State group, “they’re asking how.”

Turkey opens border to 4,000 Kurds fleeing Islamic State-Decision comes as Islamist radicals close in on Kurdish territory in northern Syria-By AP September 19, 2014, 4:31 pm 1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

ANKARA, Turkey — A Turkish official says the country has opened its border with Syria to allow up to 4,000 people, mostly Kurds, to cross to safety as they flee militants from the Islamic State group.
Izzettin Kucuk, the governor of Sanliurfa province, says Turkey decided to permit the Syrians to cross over Friday after reports emerged that militants were closing in on their communities. A day earlier, Turkish authorities refused entry.The Islamic State group has taken over more than 20 Kurdish villages since Wednesday in northeastern Syria as the extremists try to crush one of the last pockets of resistance against their rule there, the Kurdish-controlled area known as Kobani.Turkey is already home to nearly 850,000 registered Syrian refugees.Read more: Turkey opens border to 4,000 Kurds fleeing Islamic State | The Times of Israel http://www.timesofisrael.com/turkey-opens-border-to-4000-kurds-fleeing-islamic-state/#ixzz3DniswP29

09/19/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Abboud: To speak about religious war is to play the terrorists’ game-Omar Abboud-Pope Francis’ Muslim friend tells Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica that responding to jihadist provocation with a “western and Christian approach” is a fatal mistake and claims there are hidden interests behind it-Gianni Valente

rome-“Either you are a terrorist or you are Muslim. You cannot be both.” The words pronounced by Dr. Omar Abboud, the Muslim friend who accompanied Francis on his trip to the Holy Land – along with Rabbi Abraham Skorka – are as clear as they are contemplated.From faraway Buenos Aires, the far-sightedness with which he observes the Middle Eastern turmoil also leads him to say that “responding to terrorist provocation by adopting a “western and Christian approach” would be a terrible mistake; such a move would be along the exact same lines as the actions carried out inhumane attacks.” Interestingly, the interview published in the latest issue of Italian Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica – and carried out Buenos Aires by Fr. Antonio Spadaro, editor-in-chief of the periodical – shows that the former Secretary General of the Islamic Center of Argentina and his bishop friend in Rome share the same opinion. In the homily he pronounced during the Mass at the World War I memorial in Redipuglia (Italy), Francis expressed this again, by evoking the image of a Third World War, “one fought piecemeal,” the visible and invisible links between the crises and conflicts that have spread throught he world by the “plotters of terrorism, these schemers of conflicts, just like arms dealers.” Abboud too says “we can speak in terms of there being are all sorts of interests involved, about a veiled market of religious fanaticism; but let’s not refer to it as a religious war, because this would be playing their game.” The game of those who twist the words of the Koran, turning it into an ideology that is used to fulfil their own interests rooted in money and power.”During the interview, the representative of Argentina’s Islamic community stressed that “Islam, Christianity and Judaism cannot and must not be accentuated by the adjectives “Eastern” and “Western”. It is wrong to identify Christianity with Europe and Islam with the East and the Middle East,” he said.The questions Fr. Spadaro asked gave Abboud the chance to offer new details about his relationship with Jorge Mario Bergoglio when the current Successor of Peter was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. “His Holiness and I discussed the Koran on a number of occasions; sometimes we talked about passages that bore similarities with the Biblical tradition, as well about the Koran’s actual message (...). I remember talking to him about the Islamic view of the second coming of Jesus, peace be with him and also about big and small signs that marked the last day.” Of course, “as in any thoughtful conversation that may take place between a Catholic and a Muslim, we also talked about Mary, about the central role she plays in the Koran – she is the only woman ho is mentioned by name – and about the love we Muslims feel for her.”In his interview interview with La Civiltà Cattolica, Abboud also talked about certain moments and images he recalled from Pope Francis’ trip to the Holy Land and their meaning. “I understood that the presence of myself and Rabbi Skorka” in the Holy Land, alongside Pope Francis, “represented a vision of interreligious dialogue which is a vital kind of dialogue in today’s world. The greatest challenge faced by those of us who share this vision, is sometime not sitting next to someone who practices a different religion, but sitting down and convincing someone of your own religion.”Omar Abboud is the grandson of Ahmed Hasan Abboud , the first Muslim who translated the Koran from Arabic into Spanish. Ahmed Hasan Abboud was born in Lebanon to an Iraqi father and founded the publishing house Arábigo Argentina El Nilo, the main publisher specialising in Arabic and Islamic in Latin America.

09/19/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-New bishops are being modelled on Francis' example-Bishops=Many of those who are attending the training seminar organised by Propaganda Fide have a solid pastoral experience and appreciate the “Church-that-goes-forth” approach-Paolo Affatato

Rome-There’s the Auxiliary Bishop of Niamey (Niger) Laurent Lompo, who has chosen he pumpkin as his episcopal emblem. Pumpkins are cut in half and used to serve water to passers-by so it is a symbol of welcoming. Lompo wants to be “a simple and welcoming bishop, just like that fruit.” There’s the new bishop od Moroto (Uganda) Giulio Guzzetti, a Combonian,whose heart is totally set on the mission. He spent much of his life offering pastoral care here and immersing himself in the local culture. There’s Lucius Hre Kung, who was fished out of a Chin tribal village in Burma, where he placidly served as a parish priest in order to be appointed Bishop of Hakka. The “bishop without a doctorate” is shocked and happy. There’s Bernard Katsuya from Japan, who will lead the faithful of Sapporo on Hokaido island. This young and energetic bishop will have a great deal of work to do in a part of the world that is witnessing a decline in the vocations and a drop in the number of young in the Church.The faces, stories and experiences of the 107 bishops who will be taking part in the training seminar organised by the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of the Peoples are many and diverse. The seminar is exclusively for recently appointed bishops. A mosaic of colours, languages, nations, ethnicities from all the continents where Propaganda Fide has jurisdiction: Asia, America, Africa and Oceania. The group really reflects the universality of the Church.“We are united in diversity,” Cardinal Fernando Filoni said in his opening speech. The Prefect of Propaganda Fide stressed that the seminar – two intensive weeks of listening, debates, discussions and prayer – is a unique opportunity to deepen the new Pastors’ communion with the Holy See, bearing in mind that the “variety is a treasure” that must be enjoyed and protected. The aim is to provide permanent training and above all to educate new bishops about the dynamics, the functioning and relations with the Apostolic See.Heads of dicasteries will take it in turns to teach. The seminar will involve the study of “mutual responsibility systems”, diplomatic relations, dialogue and ecumenism in missions across the world, the participation of the laity in pastoral care programmes and bishops’ paternal attitude towards the clergy. There will be opportunities for attendees to clarify any doubts and express opinions. New bishops are presented with Francis’ pastoral ideal: A pastor must “be a leader who serves others” he must “have the odour of sheep” and not succumb to the temptation of “spiritual adultery”, that is, when a bishop thinks of a different diocese instead of focusing on the one he is currently serving. All of these are phrases, words and images that are typical of Francis, will crop up frequently during this intense period of study.All those present have something in common: many have extensive pastoral experience, including in smaller parishes, and this seems to be an essential pre-requisite for bishops who are able to “listen, walk with and console the people of God.” More parish priests and fewer scholars then? The Secretary of Propaganda Fide, Archbishop Savio Hon Tai-Fai, who is moderating the meeting, illustrated the criteria used when choosing bishops: “We help the Pope pick out candidates who are called by the Lord to minister as bishops. We ourselves are called to discern and purify our discernment which is built exclusively along with the local clergy and the Apostolic Nuncios. The selection process is split into several stages and is methodological. It involves studying a diocese and the local context on the one hand and an individual’s traits on the other.”Hon Tai-Fai explained that the “dignity” of every candidate is assessed – that is, whether they “possess priestly virtues and personal charisma” – as well as their “suitability” and here a number of factors come into consideration. For example, there is a general preference for “priests who know their diocese, the local language and culture well.” The size of the diocese is another key factor: “If a diocese is very large, it requires a young bishop who is willing to move around a lot.” Such criteria have been conceived in order to “always ensure the wellbeing of the local Church,” he stressed. “Our work is human, even though it is carried out under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Then it is up to the Holy Father to decide. This is a supreme act of his authority.”The Secretary of Propaganda Fide spoke very positively about the experiences bishops have been having over the past few days which have been marked by a spirit of deep ecclesial communion and collegial fraternity.” The bishops “hugely esteem Pope Francis they quote him a lot, are familiar with his speeches; they keep up to speed with everything he does.” If there is one thing that strikes them and unites them in a special way, it is “the call to build a Church that goes forth, moving out of its comfort zone and is committed to establishing contact with the peripheries, focusing on the poor.” The new pastors appreciate this approach and are eager to put it into practice.
