EDITORIAL:

Every nation and every culture has its own share of the good, bad and ugly. What one can observe visually may not necessarily be the fact and could just be a deception. As a simple example, just look at the sky above you, on a clear sunny day. When one looks at the sky and swears that it is blue, in reality we know that it is not blue. Every astronaut who went to space can testify to it. In the same way, although more than 70 percent of the Earth is covered with water and the oceans appear blue, we all know that the water is in reality colorless and not blue.

When one can be deceived visually by our observations of sky and oceans why cannot one be deceived culturally and socially ?

Even the western countries has its own share of the good, bad and ugly and one should not get deceived by visual, cultural and social observations. Don't be deceived into believing that the WEST unconditionally represents ADVANCEMENT OF MANKIND. While it is true that the WEST may be leaders in education, science, technology, champions of human rights, advanced military might et.c they may be unbeknown to themselves slipping down the path of moral degradation. One indicator is increased disassociation with religion. Christianity particularly in Europe seems to be significantly losing its influence in day to day life of majority of the Christians in Europe.

It should then come as no surprise that the traditional concept of a strong family consisted of a man, woman and child(ren) is getting diluted and literally crumbling. So also the reduced value placed on virginity and subsequent increase in sex prior to and outside marriage, increase in incestuous relations and rampant commercialization of female pre-teen and teens sexual appeal. Certain western nations have liberalized rules regarding incestuous relations specially as it pertains to step family members and adopted family members.

BESTIALITY:
There seems to be a very slow but gradual acceptance of bestiality which involves sex with animals. Experts have now come out with guidelines on how to sexually excite an animal and the underlying theme seems to indicate that it is okay to perform bestiality as long as one does not abuse the animal.

(The name of the film is “COMING SOON.” Genre – Documentary. 100 minutes playtime featuring 50 Czechs, 2 Germans, 1 Englishman and Dozens of Animals. By following the trials and tribulations of E.F.A., the world's first Bestiality-Rights organization, 'COMING SOON' explores the ever-evolving boundaries of love, tolerance, sexuality, tradition, etc.

Bestiality lovers even found an organization for bestiality rights and started being more open about the subject saying that bestiality is even purer than having sex or loving humans themselves. The film is a documentary type of film that interviews bestiality lovers and ordinary people about their views and perspective regarding the matter. One of the most controversial films of all time,

'COMING SOON' is quickly becoming an underground classic and has already made history as the film that sparked a Bestiality-Rights revolution! Born in the depths of the European underground, and brought to life by American Director, Sir Tijn Po, this award-winning feature debut has been drawing accolades from a slew of international thinkers, audiences and critics alike!)

CANNIBALISM:

We are NOT in any way implying that cannibalism is an issue at the present time. However from below interview, the author implying that the taboo of cannibalism is primarily cultural and the taste of human meat "would be good" is indeed shocking.

In terms of cannibalism, let's get the feedback from culinary expert and writer Carole Travis-Henikoff in her book: "Dinner With a Cannibal: The Complete History of Mankind's Oldest Taboo". When asked in an interview with National Public Radio (Oct 30, 2009), whether the taboo we have about cannibalism is a cultural one now, that of everybody? she responded:

"Oh, totally, totally. If you were born in a group, a small group of people, and they ate of their dead and you saw that from the time you were in your mother's arms, you would grow up to do the same, and you would never think a thing was wrong with it".

It's because certain cultures tell other cultures you can't do that, it's become a taboo as people have gone around the world. It was never taboo years - or hundreds of years ago.

When asked what does it (human meat) taste like? I don't know....but as a culinary expert she stated that the taste "would be good"

APPEARANCE:

(ED NOTE:
Welcome to the 21st century. If a woman as part of modesty, voluntarily covers herself either through hijab or niqab in this "modern era", she may be ridiculed but if a woman voluntarily body carves or pierces herself, it is "cool".)

"God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances, but He looks into your hearts and observes your deeds."
Holy Quran

(An Egyptian women, right wears a "niqab" veil which shows only the eyes. article.wn.com)

(ED NOTE: While many are quick to point out a women with niqab with negative references to the historical past, they have no problem in describing a female with body carvings or piercings as "awesome". Is there a victim here ? )

(The latest body art fashion is called the BODY CARVING or it can be called scarification. basically a person would let the artist scar him/her with the picture or art asked. It's incredible to what extent people can go to be original and distinguished. The pain is almost unbearable but the results will be fascinating because body carvings create a beautiful 3D picture).

SEXUAL REVOLUTION INVADING THE KIDS:

(ED NOTE: In general, the underlying theme seems to indicate a continues and gradual moral decline in several spectrums. In terms of sexual permissiveness, all along one assumed that children should be kept out of its negative permeating influence, but as we can see from below article from Germany, that sacred boundary keeping kids away has also been broken down in a silent self-destructing revolution, that in the long run does more harm than good to mankind.

Unlike the extremists from any religion or nation, we DO NOT claim to have all the answers, we REFUSE to be dragged into the YOU versus US mentality. We REFUSE to explicitly state that the WEST or any other culture or nation is wrong or evil.

What we would like to reaffirm is that each nation, culture or entity has a right to implement what it perceives as best for its people. However in this 21st century, we believe that we have a right to DISAGREE with certain developments and express our opinion about it, without criticizing them.

In this E-Zine, all we are doing is initiating a spark that illuminates the nature our disagreement and we leave it to you our valuable READERS to agree or disagree with us on the global market place of ideas. Let the river of global market place of ideas flow in a way that it deems best. We as editors and as two CITIZENS OF THE WORLD, are respectfully contributing our two cents worth of ideas through this E-Zine.

PART I:

German Government Publication Promotes Incestuous Pedophilia as Healthy Sex Education
(condensed version)

www.lifesitenews.com
John-Henry Westen

Booklets from a subsidiary of the German government’s Ministry for Family Affairs encourage parents to sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. Two 40-page booklets entitled "Love, Body and Playing Doctor" by the German Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung - BZgA) are aimed at parents - the first addressing children from 1-3 and the other children from 4-6 years of age.

"Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex," reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, "The child touches all parts of their father’s body, sometimes arousing him. The father should do the same."




Canadian author and public speaker Michael O’Brien who has written and spoken extensively about the crisis of culture in the West spoke to LifeSiteNews.com about the shocking and extremely disturbing phenomenon.

It is, he said, "State-encouraged incest, which in most civilized societies is a crime."

The development is, he suggests, a natural outcome of the rejection of the Judeo-Christian moral order.




The pamphlet advises parents to permit young children "unlimited masturbation" except where physical injury becomes apparent. It advises: "Children should learn that there is no such thing as shameful parts of the body. The body is a home, which you should be proud of." For ages 4-6, the booklet recommends teaching children the movements of copulation.

Another product of the BZgA is a song book aimed at children of four and slightly older which includes several songs espousing masturbation. The song-book entitled "Nose, belly and bum" includes one song with the following lyrics: "When I touch my body, I discover what I have. I have a vagina, because I am a girl. Vagina is not only for peeing. When I touch it, I feel a pleasant tingle."

"The wiser and deeper position of most civilizations recognized that children need a period of innocence," commented O’Brien. "Now the state, the German state, is encouraging destruction of this state of innocence," he added.

According to the Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, the BZgA booklet is an obligatory read in nine German regions. It is used for training nursery, kindergarten and elementary school teachers. Ironically it is recommended by many organizations officially fighting pedophilia, such as the German Kunderschutzbund. BZgA sends out millions of copies of the booklet every year.

Rzeczpospolita reports that the Eckhardt Scheffer of BZgA claimed that before releasing the manual the organization consulted parents, educators and child psychologists. 93% of whom gave a positive evaluation.

Even for a Western nation, Germany’s billboards and television ads push the limits of public pornography. Last year LifeSiteNews.com reported that a very popular teen magazine in Germany publishes nude photos of teens in sexual positions which would be in almost any other nation illegal child pornography.

With a licentiousness as the new morality of the secular materialist establishment and home school a forbidden practice, parents in Germany may well wonder what will transpire in public education.

"Will those children who are not liberated by their parents have special classes in their schools where they’re introduced to these practices," asked O’Brien rhetorically. "If the state intervenes in this way, what won’t it intervene in?"

O’Brien concluded his comments quoting G.K. Chesterton: "When men cease to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing anything."

PART II:

ABORTION

(ED NOTE:
The value placed on the sanctity of LIFE has already begun its downfall. We want to make it clear that we are not opposed to abortion to save the life of the mother and/or abortion in certain cases due to extreme extenuating circumstances. What we are opposed to is "reckless" abortion. There are tens of thousands of abortions every single day. We are indeed lucky and profoundly thankful to our mothers to have protected and nourished us in the womb and enabled us to be alive and be in a position to currently read this E-Zine today while millions of other fetuses as the global news indicates been thrown into trash cans, recent findings of thousands of fetus in a Buddhist temple coupled with a secretive and flourishing sick practice of making soup of the remains of fetus with the hope that the person drinking the soup will live longer and have more nourishing and healthy skin).

PRO-LIFE HUSBAND, PRO-ABORT WIFE BEHIND "BIRTHORNOT" ABORTION POLL: DENY HOAX

(ED NOTE:
When we first heard about below article, we thought that it was a JOKE. As you can read from the below article there are contradictory messages from both the husband and wife and the whole issue is not very clear.

What is surprising is the idea of conducting a poll to decide whether to abort or not. While a fetus is currently growing in the womb of Alisha Arnold, she, the mother of the growing fetus in collaboration with her husband have opened a website "birthornot.com" and have opened up a poll to implement the final outcome to abort or not based on the results of the poll.

PLEASE NOTE:
THIS IS NOT A JURY TRIAL TO DECIDE ON A EXECUTION.

If it was really true that the couple would implement the final outcome based on the majority of poll respondents, then it is really a travesty, that the current continued heart beat and life of a growing fetus is now dependent on the final outcome of vote from the readers/visitors. The readers/visitors who had no clue about the couple and who are total strangers but now have the choice through the majority (thanks to the internet) to sustain the life of the fetus or terminate the innocent's life for no fault of the innocent.While the LIFE OF A GROWING FETUS IS ON THE LINE depending on the outcome of the internet poll, ask yourself whether this is the enlightened modern 21st century that you are proud to live in ?

If prolifers want to view the above scenario from a positive angle, they could be thankful to Alisha Arnold for atleast getting feedback from the internet readers/visitors to her site rather than millions of other women who went straight for an abortion after making up their mind to abort. In Alisha's case, if the majority vote NOT TO ABORT, the fetus does have a chance for survival.

Check out their website www.birthornot.com which includes ultrasound images of the growing fetus.

Is it okay for prolife Muslims to VOTE YES on the website "birthornot.com" ? Are there any implications of participating on such a poll from an Islamic perspective ?)

Pro-life Husband, pro-abort Wife behind ‘BirthorNot’ Abortion poll:
Deny hoax

Pete and Alisha Arnold, the married couple behind the BirthorNot website.

Couple uses internet poll to decide whether to abort or not

St. Paul, Minnesota, November 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)

A Minnesota pro-life husband and pro-abortion wife have admitted they are the couple behind the BirthOrNot.com site, which featured a poll asking visitors to decide whether they should keep their unborn baby or choose abortion. Many have expressed shock, and some have even alleged that the site is a pro-life publicity stunt, but the truth is stranger than that.

Pete and Alisha Arnold, thirty-something Minnesota suburbanites are expecting a baby, which is in its 18th week of gestation. They set up the shocking internet poll to ask readers, “Should we give birth or have an abortion?” The site went viral last week and prompted a great deal of outcry from both those in the pro-life and pro-abortion camps.

After some digging, however, the Arnolds’ identities were uncovered and the matter was declared by some to be a hoax, given the husband’s propensity for posting on conservative blogs and websites.

The husband-wife pair, however, at first denied that the site was meant to be a hoax - but that is where the story starts to get stranger. Pete Arnold later told CNN that, in actual fact, abortion was never really on the table from the beginning for the unborn child, nick-named “Wiggles.” He said he bought the domain site BirthorNot.com before Alisha became pregnant, and that he wanted to create a dialogue about abortion.

“My intent is not to deceive people, but at the same point, I do want people to talk about this,” Arnold told CNN. “This seemed like a pretty good way to further the discussion, because people don’t ever seem to want to talk about it for real if there’s no name on it, no Baby Wiggles.”

However, Alisha Arnold has since responded to her husband’s statements on CNN in a new post, “I believe in choice,” on their site, saying that she firmly believes that a woman has the right to abort her unborn child. And while she says she is growing closer to the baby, and would probably not abort at this stage, Alisha said abortion was definitely on the table in the beginning - contrary to what her husband Pete told CNN.

“My husband may wish that that was the case, but our early disagreement about this pregnancy is what lead us to start the website in the first place,” said Alisha. “I clearly stated this to the reporter at CNN but my opinion was not included in the article that was published.”

Arnold said her hesitancy about carrying on the pregnancy was due to the trauma from three miscarriages she had already experienced after coming off the pill.

“Pete and I are on different ends of the spectrum when it comes to our beliefs about abortion,” she explained. “I’m sure I will receive considerable harassment about this post, but to me until the baby can survive without the mother (otherwise known as viability) it is not a feasible life.”

“Even though my husband’s opinion and beliefs matter to me, I, as the one carrying the baby have the final say about my body and our unborn child,” she said.

Alisha Arnold did indicate, however, that a number of comments she received from concerned individuals during this whole poll business, did help reassure her to carry through the pregnancy.

“[A]lthough I am still cautious about allowing myself to become attached, I am feeling more optimistic about moving forward,” she added.

Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek said on her blog that Alisha Arnold’s difficulty bonding with her unborn baby is both “understandable and sad.”

She likened the massive votes that the poll received in favor of abortion to a “cyber-Colosseum [sic] mob” and said that the Arnold’s disagreement over the life issue was to blame for this “ill-conceived scheme”.

“Now we just have to pray for the safety of ‘Wiggles,’ Alisha’s continued bonding with him, and the security of their marriage,” she concluded. “I’m also hopeful that through this experience Alisha will be converted on the Life issue.”

In any event, the Arnold’s internet endeavor has proved harmful personally, and economically. Alisha was recently terminated as an employee at the Eagan software firm, “TempWorks.” Local 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS obtained a company memo which stated that Alisha was a grave threat to the company’s reputation and employees were to defriend her on Facebook if they valued their jobs.

(FINAL ED NOTE: It is high time, that all human beings including Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists et.c. come together to defend the value of LIFE and defend the institution of FAMILY - the bedrock of civilization).

Prophet Mohamed (SAW) stated:
"Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind." (Muslims & Bukhari)
