ISRAEL
102
MUSLIM PERSPECTIVE OF CHRISTIANITY
As more immigrants come to America from all
over the globe, you will notice your neighborhood and community
are rapidly changing. To better understand their point of
view, “Israel 102” will help.
From a Muslim’s view of America, it
is believed that the country as a whole is Christian. Although
America was founded and built upon Christian principles,
we were not taught Christianity in school. There was no
prayer and not even a mention of God in our daily classrooms.
For a Muslim, this is almost incomprehensible.
From birth, a child learns that Islam is a way of life.
There is no division of the practices of Islam and governmental
law. A Muslim is taught to live, breath, think and speak
Islamic tradition. Even in a normal conversation, the phrase
“Thanks be to Allah” or “Allah be praised,”
is casually used in every other sentence.
Daily prayer is practiced five times a day.
It is not unusual to see a man in public get out his prayer
rug and begin his ritualistic prayer routine. No one criticizes
him, in fact no one even notices him.
In all Arab countries and communities throughout
the world (including Dearborn, Michigan), a constant reminder
to pray is heard over loud speakers coming from the mosque.
The “Muslim Call to Prayer” can be heard at
precise intervals throughout the day according to the position
of the moon. It is not unusual to hear it at 2, 3 or 4’clock
in the morning.
With these beliefs, it is no wonder that America
is referred to as a “harlot” among Muslims.
With rampant pornography and drugs, America and Christianity
are seen as a weak and hypocritical nation. But there is
a way to show the true love of Jesus as a sincere Christian.
After studying the Koran, the Muslim’s
holy book, I have found that the Prophet Mohammad referred
to Christians and Jews as being “the people of the
Book.” While Mohammad highly criticizes some Jews
of corrupting the Torah (Old Testament), he talks about
some that are not alike.
Sura 3:10 “Among the people of the Book
is an upright folk, who recite the signs of God in the night
season, and adore (pray and worship). They believe in God
and in the Latter Day, and enjoin justice, and forbid evil,
and speed on in good works. These are of the righteous.”
In Sura 10:95 it says, “If you are in
doubt as to what We have sent down to you, inquire of those
who have read the Scriptures before you.” Again in
Sura 3:195 “Among the people of the Book are those
who believe in God, and in what He has sent down to you,
and in what He hath sent down to them, humbling themselves
before God.
The Apostle Paul was humbled and sincere when
he wrote I Cor. 2:4 “My message and my preaching were
not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration
of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not
rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”
Col. 4:5 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders;
make the most of every opportunity.”
My friends, we are the people of the Book.
We are those, like Paul who are humble before God. Please
use this information with prayerful thought when you share
these things with your Muslim friends.
God bless, Kris
To
Tell The Truth
This is a perfect way to understand, when
you know the truth, it will set you free. A lie said long
enough and loud enough can get a whole nation killing their
own kids. The message this past Sunday was titled "Loving
the unlovable" that is a very hard thing to do when
someone hates you for no reasons. Pray for our nation and
the people of this world, let their eyes be open to the
truth, so we stop killing one another.
Remarks of Brigitte Gabriel, delivered at the Duke University
Counter-Terrorism Speak-Out:
I'm proud and honored
to stand here today, as a Lebanese speaking for Israel,
the only democracy in the Middle East. As someone who was
raised in an Arabic country, I want to give you a glimpse
into the heart of the Arabic world.
I was raised in Lebanon,
where I was taught that the Jews were evil, Israel was the
devil, and the only time we will have peace in the Middle
East is when we kill all the Jews and drive them into the
sea.
When the Moslems and
Palestinians declared Jihad on the Christians in 1975, they
started massacring the Christians, city after city. I ended
up living in a bomb shelter underground from age 10 to 17,
without electricity, eating grass to live, and crawling
under sniper bullets to
a spring to get water.
It was Israel who came
to help the Christians in Lebanon . My mother was wounded
by a Moslem's shell, and was taken into an Israeli hospital
for treatment. When we entered the emergency room, I was
shocked at what I saw. There were hundreds of people wounded,
Moslems, Palestinians, Christians, Lebanese, and Israeli
soldiers lying on the floor. The doctors treated everyone
according to their injury. They treated my mother before
they treated the Israeli soldier lying next to her. They
didn't see religion, they didn't see political affiliation,
they saw people in need and they helped.
For the first time
in my life I experi enced a human quality that I know my
culture would not have shown to their enemy. I experienced
the
values of the Israelis, who were able to love their enemy
in their most trying moments. I spent 22 days at that hospital.
Those days changed my life and the way I believe information,
the way I listen to the radio or to television. I realized
I was sold a fabricated lie by my
government, about the Jews and Israel, that was so far from
reality. I knew for fact that, if I was a Jew standing in
an Arab hospital, I
would be lynched and thrown over to the grounds, as shouts
of joy of Allah Akbar, God is great, would echo through
the hospital and the
surrounding streets.
I became friends with
the families of the Israeli wounded soldiers: one in particular
Rina, her only child was wounded in his eyes.
One day I was visiting
with her, and the Israeli army band came to play national
songs to lift the spirits of the wounded soldiers. As they
surrounded his bed playing a song about Jerusalem, Rina
and I started crying. I felt out of place and started waking
out of the room, and this mother holds my hand and pulls
me back in without even looking at me. She holds me crying
and says: "it is not your fault". We just stood
there crying, holding each other's hands.
What a contrast between
her, a mother looking at her deformed 19 year old only child,
and still able to love me the enemy, and between a
Moslem mother who sends her son to blow himself up to smithereens
just to kill a few Jews or Christians.
The difference between
the Arabic world and Israel is a difference in values and
character. It's barbarism verses civilization. It's democracy
verses dictatorship. It's goodness verses evil.
Once upon a time, there
was a special place in the lowest depths of hell for anyone
who would intentionally murder a child. Now, the intentional
murder of Israeli children is legitimized as Palestinian
"armed struggle."
However, once such
behavior is legitimized against Israel, it is legitimized
every where in the world, constrained by nothing more than
the subjective belief of people who would wrap themselves
in dynamite and nails for the purpose of killing children
in the name of God.
Because the Palestinians
have been enco uraged to believe that murdering innocent
Israeli civilians is a legitimate tactic for advancing their
cause, the whole world now suffers from a plague of terrorism,
from Nairobi to New York, from Moscow to Madrid, from Bali
to Beslan.
They blame suicide
bombing on "desperation of occupation". Let me
tell you the truth. The first major terror bombing committed
by Arabs against the Jewish state occurred ten weeks before
Israel even became independent.
On Sunday morning,
February 22, 1948 , in anticipation of Israel 's independence,
a triple truck bomb was detonated by Arab terrorists on
Ben Yehuda Street , in what was then the Jewish section
of Jerusalem. Fifty-four people were killed, and hundreds
were wounded. Thus, it is obvious that Arab terr orism is
caused not by the "desperation" of "occupation",
but by the VERY THOUGHT of a Jewish state.
So many times in history
in the last 100 years, citizens have stood by and done nothing,
allowing evil to prevail. As America stood up against and
defeated communism, now it is time to stand up against the
terror of religious bigotry and intolerance. It's time to
all stand up, and support and defend the state of Israel
, which is the front line of the war against terrorism.

What Health Law Didn't Fix: Medicare Doc Pay
by Julie Rovner
May 6, 2010
Call it Medicare's version of Groundhog Day.
For the third time this year, Congress has
just days to avert a scheduled 21 percent cut in pay to
doctors who treat seniors and others on the Medicare program.
And while just about everyone agrees a cut of that magnitude
would be devastating for Medicare and the patients it serves,
no one seems to be able to figure out how to solve the problem
in anything except a stopgap way.
How It Began
The trouble actually dates back to 1997, when
Congress passed a balanced budget law that put the current
formula in place determining how doctors will be paid. The
idea was that if doctors as a group cost Medicare too much,
their pay would be docked to make up the difference in future
years.
But James Rohack, president of the American
Medical Association, says it was clear from the start that
the "sustainable growth rate" would be anything
but.
"We want to keep people healthy, and
this formula penalizes [doctors] for doing the quality care
you want," Rohack says.
For example, he says, "by keeping people's
blood sugars under control, or helping them stay out of
the hospital when they have heart failure," doctors
may save Medicare money overall, but run up overall physician
spending that then triggers future physician pay cuts.
Finding Physicians Who Take Medicare
And if those cuts get big enough, people worry
that over time there will be more patients like Janice Jessup,
a Medicare beneficiary in Virginia Beach, Va.
The last time Jessup needed to find a new
primary care doctor a couple of years ago, she says she
called as many as 40 doctors all over town. And what did
they tell her?
"They weren't taking Medicare patients
anymore," she says.
Jessup, who had severely cut her leg and ended
up needing substantial follow-up care, eventually went to
a walk-in clinic where she did get the care she needed.
But it wasn't the care she wanted.
"It isn't the full medical attention
you need with a primary physician. No lab tests or anything,"
she says.
'Chaos' For Doctors
From the doctors' point of view, however,
it's not hard to see why they're getting more reluctant
to take on new Medicare patients.
"We haven't had a raise in seven years,"
says Joseph Stubbs, the immediate past president of the
American College of Physicians, which represents more than
100,000 internists.
Stubbs says as professionals, doctors feel
a strong sense of duty to continue to care for their Medicare
patients, even when profits erode. But at some point the
balance will tip, he says, including for his own group of
nine doctors in Georgia.
"We're having to face, well, if those
cuts go into effect, we need to cut personnel," he
says. "It will cost us, instead of reimburse us, to
take care of Medicare beneficiaries."
And Congress has now made matters even worse,
Stubbs says, by delaying the cuts not a year at a time,
but — because of complicated federal budget rules
— only by a month or two.
That's because making the cuts disappear entirely
would add to the federal deficit at eye-popping amounts.
An estimate issued last week by the Congressional Budget
Office said merely canceling projected cuts in Medicare
pay for doctors over the next decade — without giving
them any increases — could cost $276 billion over
the next decade.
But the short-term fixes have left physicians
wondering what their income might be, and what to tell patients.
"It is absolute chaos for us as business
people," Stubbs says. "What business could deal
with not knowing whether your price is going to be up in
the next month, or the same, or be cut by 21 percent? It's
no way to be able to plan."
Searching For A New System Isn't Easy
Groups representing patients want to ensure
that there are enough doctors to serve Medicare beneficiaries.
But they're wary about the doctors' prescription for fixing
the problem, which calls for repealing the current formula
in its entirety.
"We don't just want to just remove all
limits on what doctors can charge. That's a good way to
get to bankruptcy," says John Rother of the senior
group AARP.
Still, Rother agrees with the physician groups
that Congress has not been fair about its handling of their
Medicare payments.
"No one would defend a month at a time.
Even a year at a time is problematic. So we certainly believe
if it can't be permanent, it ought to be a multiyear fix,"
he says.
Physicians, not surprisingly, are a bit more
emphatic about what they want from Congress, particularly
after the issue got punted from the recently enacted health
overhaul bill because of its price tag.
"From a fiscal standpoint, when they
say they, 'Well gee, we can't do it because it will add
to the deficit,' well, the reality is every one of these
temporary patches has grown the deficit," says Rohack.
"They could have fixed this three years ago for less
than $50 billion."
Now the number is rapidly approaching $300
billion.
So the search continues for a new system that
would pay doctors on Medicare fairly, but neither too much
nor too little. That search has, so far, been elusive.
And the latest delay in the cut expires on May 31.
