A common theme...

...of most poeple that try to disprove or do not believe that Walid Shoebat is legitimate is that they only seem to be able to focus on disputing whether or not his background "checks out".

If you dispute his own account of his background, you are in essence calling him a liar.

If you are calling him a liar, do you also dispute the substance of what he is saying about what Palestinians are being taught ?

Is the substance of his message being lost in your doubt about his background?

"Walid Shoebat, hero or snakeoil salesman"- - - It seems that those who believe he is a hero base their decision on his account of what Palestinians and Muslims are being taught and the danger they pose to Israel and the rest of the world. And his account is believable because he is by far not the only one saying it.

Those who believe he is a snakeoil salesman; what sort of snakeoil is he selling? Do you discredit him based on your opinion that " his background just doesn't seem to check out" or do you disagree with his statements about the Palestinians and the nation of Islam? Which is it?

If you don't believe his background checks out, stop focusing on your assumptions which are based on your limited knowledge of the facts and start listening to what he is saying! Can you see past your own nose? It is infinitely less important to dispute facts that you cannot and will not ever "get to the bottom of" and start listening to the facts that he is laying out that can be verified, like:

---The fact that Muslims are being taught the phrase"first the Saturday poeple, then the Sunday poeple" (Which translated means first we kill the Jews, then we kill the Christians) And make no mistake, the Liberals, Atheists, New Agers, and everyone else is next.

---The fact that Muslims are being taught " We will knock on the gates of heaven with the skulls of the Jews" The Nazis once roamed the streets of Germany, singing "When the blood of the Jew wets the knife, then we'll be free of our troubles"

---CHILDREN are being taught that their ultimate goal in life is to BLOW THEMSELVES UP and take as many poeple with them as they can. They are being taught that this will make God happy.

---If you are not Muslim, you are considered by the Muslims to be a "kuffar" which puts you in the same category as an animal that they can and will slaughter whenever they can. The Muslims are also being taught that it is O.K. to lie to or break a treaty with anyone who is not Muslim. Do you now understand why "cease fires" and treaties do not last more than a couple of days in the Middle East?

---The Muslims helped Adolf Hiltler in WW II, and around the world you will still find Nazi similarities in modern Muslim propaganda. This is a fact.

---Not all Muslims are violent or terrorists; but eventually those Muslims are pronounced heretics by the radicals and will end up being swallowed up or destroyed. I liken this to the same behavior that honeybees exemplify when a few "killer bees" move into their hive. The peaceful bees eventually "africanize" or learn the behavior of the agressive bees and become "killer bees". The hope that I have concerning this analogy is this; studies show that eventually the gene that produces the "peaceful" bee becomes dominant and starts to override the " killer" gene. I believe that masses of Muslims will eventually come to Christ because they will get tired of death.

Again, I raise the question...Are you getting "hung up" on inconclusive trifles or are you actually disputing the terrible facts being revealed by Mr. Shoebat?
