@Jjblanc3235 @Msbtl11 @aquaticdoge_ @MDHensley5 @FatherChrisVor1 @rabbriansamuel Really, you believe Jesus is God?
English
@Msbtl11 @Periklesww @aquaticdoge_ @MDHensley5 @FatherChrisVor1 @rabbriansamuel We all have the same God. Our beliefs don’t change it. So when another religion sacrifices in the name of their God, no, I won’t be participating.

Halal meat is slaughtered according to Islamic law, and a blessing is spoken in the name of Allah.
Should Christians avoid halal meat?
Does this count as "meat sacrificed to idols"?
English
@Msbtl11 @aquaticdoge_ @MDHensley5 @FatherChrisVor1 @rabbriansamuel All good I was emphasising that Allah is not the God of the Christians.
English
@Periklesww @aquaticdoge_ @MDHensley5 @FatherChrisVor1 @rabbriansamuel I didn't say Allah is the same. I said Christians and Jews have the same God.

Albosleazy is protecting his Moslem voter base and lying about the true threat facing Australia which is Radical Islam!.
Ryan Dally@Ryandally08
Anthony Albanese is asked if Radical Islam is in his view the greatest security threat facing Australia. He immediately deflects to “sovereign citizens” and “Neo Nazis” He then goes on to recall a murder in 1983 by a “fascist” while he was a student.

@Msbtl11 @aquaticdoge_ @MDHensley5 @FatherChrisVor1 @rabbriansamuel Makes all the world of difference… If you believe Jesus is God then the Moslem God is not the same as ours as they vehemently deny Jesus is God. It is blasphemous to believe the God of Abraham is the same for moslems.
English
@aquaticdoge_ @MDHensley5 @FatherChrisVor1 @rabbriansamuel Makes no difference. They are mistaken but both Jews and Christians worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

@J_NWind_ @rabbriansamuel If you believe Jesus is God then the Moslem God is not the same as ours as they vehemently deny Jesus is God.

🚨 AUSTRALIA IS BEING ASKED TO ADAPT — BECAUSE ITS GOVERNMENT FAILED TO PREPARE
The Albanese government is now telling Australians:
The shocks are coming.
The months ahead won’t be easy.
Everyone must “do their bit.”
But here’s the real question:
Why are Australians being asked to carry the burden…
For a crisis the government should have prepared for?
This is not leadership.
This is damage control.
Cutting fuel excise for three months is not a solution.
It is a temporary patch.
Telling people:
“Use public transport”
“Don’t take more fuel than you need”
“Think of others”
Is not a strategy.
It is an admission.
An admission that:
Australia is exposed
Australia is vulnerable
Australia is dependent
Because after years of policy decisions:
Energy security was not prioritised
Domestic production was not strengthened
Resilience was not built
And now the consequences are arriving.
Farmers need diesel.
Truckers need fuel.
Supply chains depend on both.
You cannot run a country on good intentions and short-term measures.
And yet that is exactly what is being offered:
Temporary tax cuts
Public messaging
Hope that global supply holds
Hope is not policy.
At a time when global energy routes are under pressure…
When supply chains are tightening…
When costs are rising rapidly…
Australians are being told to adjust their behaviour…
Instead of seeing a government that has already secured their future.
This is the difference between:
Preparation
And reaction
And right now…
Australia is reacting.
The months ahead may not be easy.
But they didn’t have to be this uncertain.
Strong leadership anticipates crises.
Weak leadership explains them after they arrive.

On March 30, 1822, when the massacre in Chios began, the Muslim Turks had clear orders. The Sultan had commanded that all Greek Christians be slaughtered, except for boys aged 3-12 and women from 12 to 40. These would be captured and destined for the slave markets.
Young girls were raped publicly in the streets, and newlyweds in front of their husbands, who were then slaughtered. Others were raped in front of their parents, after which the men's genitals were cut off. Women over 40 were set on fire and left to burn alive. Pregnant women had their bellies ripped open and their fetuses pulled out, while small children were thrown forcefully against rocks. The frenzy of the Muslims was unprecedented.
Many Turkish soldiers cut off the heads of Greek Christians and then licked their swords. With this act, they believed they would earn a place in paradise. Others were hanged from the island's trees for deterrence. Severed human limbs and corpses were scattered on the streets, while the sea had turned red from the blood. The smoke from the burning houses had covered all of Chios, while the flames made the night look like day.Several women from Chios preferred death over dishonor and slavery.
They committed suicide by jumping off cliffs. Some were killed while defending their children, siblings, and husbands. Even among those who were captured, some died on hunger strike.Destitute women and children from the island were crammed into ships and transported to the markets of Smyrna and Constantinople, where they were sold as slaves at humiliating prices.
By May 1, 1822, over 41.000 slave ownership documents, known as "teskerés", had been issued in Chios. According to the French-language newspaper of Smyrna, Spectateur Oriental, by May 10, duties had been paid at the Smyrna customs for 40,000 slaves. The priest Welsh from the English embassy in Constantinople recorded what he saw in those days at the city's slave market:
"The Turks treated the women from Chios with utmost contempt. They examined them, groped them like butchers do lambs, and bought them for 100 grosia to 3 pounds per head. About 500 women from Chios were sold in the fish market."
The tragic events of Chios shocked Europe and America. For many weeks, the European press reported daily information and descriptions about the fate of the inhabitants, the massacres, the plunder, and the sale of women and children in the slave markets.
Korais writes in a letter to Varvakis: "Imagine that you see Christ on the Cross, drenched in His blood, and calling out to you these paternal words: My son Varvakis, many thousands of captives baptized in my name are in danger at this hour of renouncing me and embracing the abominable religion of Mohammed. Behold the time, baptized in my name, beloved son, to save your baptized brothers from the Turkish defilement."
The horrific images of the crimes of the Muslims against the Greek Christians were never erased from the collective memory of Europeans. Great European artists were so shocked by the descriptions that they created important works inspired by Chios.
The famous painting by Delacroix is exhibited to this day in a prominent position at the Louvre. Victor Hugo's poem titled "The Greek Child" is a moving record. But the most famous sculpture of 19th-century America also stands out, named: the "Greek Slave." The sculptor Hiram Powers began carving it about twenty years after the tragic events. The statue depicts a young woman, nude, bound with chains. In one hand, she holds a small cross on a chain.
Powers himself describes the subject of his work as follows:
"The Slave has been abducted by the Turks from one of the Greek Islands during the Greek Revolution, the history of which is known to all. Her father and mother, and perhaps all her relatives, have been exterminated by her enemies, and she alone was kept alive, as a treasure that could not be thrown away. Now she is among barbarian strangers, under the pressure of the full recollection of the catastrophic events that led her to this state. She stands exposed to the gaze of people she abhors, and awaits her fate with intense anxiety, which is mitigated by her trust in the goodness of God. Gather all these sufferings together, and add to them the strength and resignation of a Christian, and there is no room left for shame."
(You can search for the sculpture to see it; I'm not uploading it because X might take down the post for sensitive content.)
As a Greek, I will use my weapon, the knowledge of my history, to warn as many as I can about the violent and barbaric invasion of Islam and the war we are experiencing today.
I will do whatever I can to warn you.

When Muslims killed Greek Bishop Gerasimos of Rethymno in 1821, they opened his chest, removed his heart, and sprinkled their banners with its blood in order to achieve victories against the infidels. The entire description of the incident directly evokes cannibalism from a primitive era. (Theochares Detorakis, "History of Crete") Apart from the official executions, there were also the mass slaughters of Christian populations in cases where the Islamic-Ottoman state wanted to demonstrate its power. The main pretext for the massacres was reprisals against revolutionary movements. Alongside the official figures who were publicly executed (bishops, notables, etc.), unruly hordes of Janissaries would rush into Christian homes, break down doors, kill anyone they found in front of them, and then plunder the house, seizing whatever they liked. When leaving, in many cases they also set the house on fire. Now, the hooks or "tsigkelia", as the Muslim Turks called them. On the walls of cities or on specially erected scaffolds, large hooks with sharp, sharpened points were fixed. The naked victim was thrown onto the hooks from high up on the walls or was hoisted up with special pulleys and dropped onto the hooks of the scaffolds. There he remained impaled for days, tormented by terrible pains until he finally expired. If, moreover, the hooks had not pierced a vital organ, the torture could last several days. Historical accounts mention the presence of such a scaffold with hooks in the central square of Heraklion (Candia), where many Cretans, mainly rebels, met their tragic end. One torture that the Muslim Turks carried out when they had no time for anything else was the breaking of limbs. They usually did this to prisoners they had captured in the countryside and did not want to transport to the city for something "more entertaining," either because they were in a hurry or because they did not want to take on the risks of a possible transfer. With an axe they smashed the main joints of the victim's limbs (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee) and several bones (humerus, femur, tibia). The victim was then unable to move at all, while terrible pains shook his body from the shattered joints. The executioners left him helpless and departed, so that he would die a few hours or at most two days later, or become prey to wild animals in the wilderness. An equally torture is that of beheading. The Ottoman lords even had a well-known proverb on their lips: "A head that does not bow falls." The execution of the sentence was carried out in public view by a specialized executioner called "makelaris" (a Greek-Byzantine word meaning "butcher" that derives from ancient Greek), with the well-known curved Ottoman sword, the "yataghan". The victim arrived at the place of slaughter ridiculed and publicly shamed. Before the execution he had, as a rule, been beaten and often mutilated. The punishment itself was painless and instantaneous, but the entire preceding process made it agonizing. The body and head remained exposed for days, just as in the other tortures we mentioned earlier. Often the victim's head was impaled on a pole and paraded through the city, especially if the victim happened to be an officially wanted person (e.g., Ali Pasha). Other times it was preserved and sent to the Sultan himself, as happened with the head of Ali Pasha. Still other times the head remained hung or impaled in a prominent position for days, until the natural decomposition of its features began. The torture of beheading is naturally connected with the fate of the Four Martyrs. The Synaxarion of the Saints confirms everything I have said so far. After harsh tortures and public humiliation through the streets of Rethymno, the Saints (Manuel, Angelos, George and Nicholas) ended up in the square of the Great Gate, which today bears their name in their honor, to be beheaded. This is recent history. Tortures ended almost 200 years before when we destroyed the Ottoman Empire. And if you think they changed, you should start reading their comments on my posts or the reposts. This is who they are. This is Islam - Homer Pavlos

@DrewPavlou Lol yes 😂 it is still April fools day and we just heard from one

A lot of people criticising Albanese’s national address but I disagree.
The Australian people simply had to hear our great leader’s voice for reassurance today.
English
@PubPoliticsAU @craigkellyAFEE How much did you outlay upfront and you obviously can afford the repayments… I and disgusted by narcissistic wankers like you who think they have all the answers. There are a lot of people who cannot even afford the repayments and live day to day y fucking grow a brain son.

I dont know where your living mate. Solar on an interest free loan over the life of the hardware was less than 12K installed.. with rebate from our GOV.
New battery installed with another big rebate from our gov was another $8k added to that interest free loan.
The money i save on the power bill pays for the loan and over 10 years its done...
You need to speak to someone that isn't trying to rip you off in regards to solar installation apparently.
As for the EV, The price for an EV isn't more than a non-EV... and people are still buying cars. Dont even start with that garbage.

Bowen must resign in disgrace.
He is the Minister directly responsible for this fiasco.
Australia is supposed to hold a minimum of 90 days of oil reserves to meet our IEA obligations. Instead, after almost four years under Bowen’s watch, we were left dangerously exposed with a criminally negligent 35 days.
Japan, by comparison, maintains over 200 days.
While the country sat vulnerable, Bowen mindlessly chased his pointless, virtue-signalling renewable fantasy and completely ignored the 90-day IEA target he was duty-bound to meet.
This is the same story with every single portfolio this man has touched: total incompetence, followed by outright catastrophe.
Bowen has failed spectacularly. Again. He should be booted out immediately.
English
If true it would be great to see the back of Albanese, but fuck me Chris Blackout Bowen.
Holy stuffing duck shit.
Is that the best Labor has?
Minister for Energy and Climate Change Chris Bowen looks set to be Australia's 32nd Prime Minister.
It is believed Labor's popularity is set to soar.
Leadership spill rumoured this Friday.

@PubPoliticsAU @craigkellyAFEE Congratulations you can afford to spend $30000+ up front to get solar the way you spruik it then add $80000+ for an EV… the majority of Australians cannot afford it and can only just survive paying the mortgage or rent mostly on time.
English
I would like to know if you @craigkellyAFEE have solar on your home... do you have a battery installed and are you benefiting from these "virtue-signalling renewable fantasies"
I have solar, I have a battery... my neighbors have solar, they also have batteries. We see the upside... why dont you?

@nicksortor Why isn’t President Trump sharing images of US targets being pummelled by Iran? Nothing changes the fact that Iran are winning the war & the narrative against Israel & the US.

We clearly hit something pretty big…

Canada just criminalized reading the Bible.
Now quoting Scripture on marriage, sin, or God’s design for sexuality can be prosecuted as “wilful promotion of hatred.”
This is how the West falls.

Labor intentionally brought known ISIS Terrorists into Australia that said they wanted to kill Australians.
Then they lied & tried to cover it up.
The biggest threat to Australians is our own Government & their blind ignorant supporters 😡
