Moslem Prof.: Quran States that Holy Land is Jewish
Prof. Khaleel Mohammed of San Diego State University is the latest Moslem expert to say that the Quran - the holiest Moslem work - is actually Zionist. He thus joins Sheikh Palazzi, secretary-general of the Italian Muslim Association.

EU Leaders Keep Quiet On Top Brussels Job
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A meeting between Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern and his Belgian counterpart Guy Verhofstadt in Brussels on Thursday served only to fuel speculation about who will be the next Commission President.

Standing side-by-side for a press conference, the two leaders were a model of coy denial - they would neither comment on other names nor confirm that they would eventually take on the job themselves if asked.

Former President Ronald Reagan died this weekend.  Few have accomplished the scope and magnitude of his term during his presidency.  Many have credited him with saving the world from what could have been man's darkest hour.  Liberal historians may paint a much less flattering portrait, but the truth is, he put America back on track and brought us together.  He will be missed but not forgotten.

You need to read the article Moslem Prof.: Quran States that Holy Land is Jewish.  Believe it or not, a Moslem professor has come out and stated that the Quran plainly says that the Holy Land belongs to the Jews.  And he isn't the only one either.  Take a look at this excerpt:

""In an interview with Jamie Glazov of FrontPageMagazine.com three days ago (June 3, 2004), Mohammed quoted the Qur'an (5:20-21) as saying:
"Moses said to his people: O my people! Remember the bounty of God upon you when He bestowed prophets upon you, and made you kings and gave you that which had not been given to anyone before you amongst the nations. O my people! Enter the Holy Land which God has written for you, and do not turn tail, otherwise you will be losers."

Prof. Mohammed emphasized that the above phrase "God has written for you" is very significant: "In both Jewish and Islamic understandings of the term 'written,' there is the meaning of finality, decisiveness and immutability... So the simple fact is then, from a faith-based point of view: If God has 'written' Israel for the people of Moses, who can change this?" He also quoted two of Islam's most famous exegetes - Ibn Kathir and Muhammad al-Shawkani - as supporting this explanation.""

He also went on to say that when the Moslems overtook the land of Israel in the 7th century, they were well aware that the land had been divinely mandated to the Jews (Abrahamic Covenant).  Instead of returning it to the rightful owners they took the land and built a Mosque on Israel's holy temple mount.  The Quran did not support this in anyway.

Of course, the Arab world will never accept the truth.  The Quran absolutely doesn't sanction homicide bombings but they still continue to churn them out as if on an assembly line. 

The E.U. is on the eve of a very big election day.  They won't be electing a permanent president this time around.  We'll have to wait for the E.U. to resolve their constitution problems.  Take a look at CNN.com - EU constitution: What's at stake? - Apr 21, 2004.  

Here are the main points of the constitution:

• Permanent EU president to replace six-month rotating presidency by each member state.
• EU foreign minister to conduct common foreign policy.
• Mutual defense clause obliges other EU nations to come to the aid if another nation is attacked.
• Qualified majority voting to apply in most areas and vetoes to be limited to a few areas.
• A "double majority" system will require the votes of a majority of the 25 members states representing at least 60 per cent of the EU's population.
• Commission to be reduced to 15 full members and 10 non-voting associates.
• Policy areas covered by European Parliament to increase from 34 to 70.
• EU public prosecutor to investigate cross-border fraud.
• Introduction of tax harmonization.
• Legally binding Charter of Fundamental Rights.
• Membership exit clause to allow member states to leave EU.

Here are the sticking points:

• The 2000 Nice Treaty had given Spain and Poland 27 votes each compared with 29 for Germany, whose population is more than the two countries' combined. Talks collapsed at a summit last December after the draft constitution boosted the heavyweight countries' voting powers at the expense of smaller nations. However, changes of government in Spain and Poland this year have helped revive negotiations.
• Smaller countries are also unhappy over the composition of the European Commission. They want one full member per country but France and Germany say a commission of 25 or more members with full voting powers would be unmanageable.
• Smaller member states are also concerned by the prospect of an EU president, which they say would favor the larger countries. One compromise suggested is to have a "team presidency" by which a group of three countries would chair different ministries for six months each, thereby preserving an element of the rotating presidency. However, the elected president would be in overall control.
• Catholic countries want a specific reference to Christianity in the constitution. However, this is problematic for countries with large ethnic minorities and to Muslim Turkey, which hopes to one day join the bloc.

Some of the main points that I would like to bring to your attention are that of the permanent president and the mutual defense clause. 

It is my belief that the permanent president will likely be the coming antichrist.  It's unknown how many presidents will come and go before the antichrist arrives on the scene, but it's probable that he will be the first.  Whoever makes a treaty with Israel will be the one. Actually, I’m not sure time will permit too many presidents to come to power.  I firmly believe that the last generation is swiftly coming to a close.

The mutual defense clause does exactly what it says.  This clause states that each country in the E.U. is responsible to come to the rescue of any other member country under attack.  It is my belief that Israel will one day join the E.U. and be protected under this clause when the Russian-Arab alliance attacks.  The antichrist will make an attempt to come to their aid but God will have destroyed them (Russian-Arab alliance) before he can intervene.  I'm sure he will get some of the credit although the Bible does say that the world will give God the glory (Ezekiel 38:23) and be known among the nations.

Membership may hinge upon them abandoning their nuclear program and allowing international inspectors to come in and regulate them.  It's conceivable that the Arab world will also agree to these terms, but I doubt they will be granted E.U. membership.  The Middle East will eventually become a nuclear free region, but you can bet most of the Arab world will still be developing weapons underground away from the watchful eyes of inspectors.  

The next big step in the march toward the tribulation period will be the ratifying of the E.U. constitution.  When that happens look for elections to take place for their first permanent president shortly thereafter.  The constitution could be ratified as soon as the fourth quarter of 2004.
