Israel is working on coordinating plans for a possible military strike with Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh prepared to provide tactical support to Jerusalem, a British newspaper reported early Sunday.

The two countries have both united in worry that the West may come to terms with Iran, easing sanctions and allowing the Islamic Republic to continue its nuclear program.
According to the Sunday Times, Riyadh has agreed to let Israel use its airspace in a military strike on Iran and cooperate over the use of rescue helicopters, tanker planes and drones.
“The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs,” an unnamed diplomatic source told the paper.
The report comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the midst of a blitz to lobby against a deal and cobble together an international alliance opposed to an agreement that allows Iran to continue enriching uranium.
On Sunday, Israel will welcome French President Francois Hollande, who a week earlier put the kibosh on a deal between six world powers and Iran that would ease sanctions in return for initial steps toward curbing enrichment.
Netanyahu on Friday urged France to remain firm in its pressure on Iran ahead of a new round of talks on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program in Geneva, kicking off Wednesday.
After meeting Hollande, Netanyahu will head to Moscow on Wednesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin and lobby against the deal.
Iran’s bid for the bomb “threatens directly the future of the Jewish state,” Netanyahu told CNN recently, in a short preview clip of an interview broadcast on Saturday. As the prime minister of Israel, he stressed, he had to care for “the survival of my country.”
CNN reported that Netanyahu also said in the interview that he would do whatever it was necessary to do in order to protect Israel. The full interview will air Sunday morning.
Should a deal be reached at talks set to resume in Geneva on Wednesday, according to the diplomatic source, a military option would be back on the table. Saudi tactical support, in lieu of backup from the Pentagon, would be vital for a long-range mission targeting Iran’s nuclear program.
Saudi Arabia, a Sunni Muslim country across the Persian Gulf from Iran has long been at odds with Tehran, and fears a nuclear weapon would threaten Riyadh and set off a nuclear arms race in the region.

"SPREADING THE GOSPEL IN NORTH KOREA" FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Spreading the gospel in North Korea

Christian missionaries have set up an extraordinary network of front companies - including tour agencies, bakeries, factories, farms, schools and orphanages - in order to spread the Gospel inside North Korea

7:50AM GMT 15 Nov 2013
For nearly two years, Kenneth Bae, a father of three and an American citizen, ran a successful travel company offering tours of North Korea.
But as the 44-year-old passed through the Wonjong border crossing in November 2012, he was suddenly arrested. Convicted of "hostile acts" towards North Korea, he is currently serving 15 years in a labour camp.
What exactly happened remains a mystery. Mr Bae had taken at least 15 other tour groups into North Korea without incident. However, it seems clear that his mission to spread the Christian gospel was at least one major factor that landed him in trouble.
Mr Bae is not alone in using his company, Nations Tour, to evangelise inside North Korea. While precise numbers are impossible to pin down, the network of well-financed front companies, missions operating as businesses, is extensive.
North Korea, the most hostile country in the world to organised religion, has a strong pull for a certain stripe of evangelical Christians, and the 288 sq mile "Special Economic Zone" outside the city of Rason, where Mr Bae was detained, is Ground Zero for these modern apostles.
The zone in the far Northeast corner of the country welcomes foreign investment. North Korea is desperate for food, fuel and cash, the authorities have largely turned a blind eye to investors with goals that may not be purely commercial.
"The only people willing to do business in North Korea are ones who do not really care if they make money or not, ones that have other reasons for being there," said Patrick Chovanec, an economist who has visited North Korea extensively. "There is a certain level of cognitive dissonance there on both sides, which is not uncommon in North Korea."
According to one American who once travelled with Mr Bae, but who asked to remain anonymous, their group was able to carry bibles with them into the zone. Possession of bibles by North Koreans can lead to imprisonment, torture and perhaps even death.
The source said a delicate dance had played out on their arrival, with their bibles being counted by the border guards on their way in and then again when they left to make sure none had been distributed.
At the final inspection, the guards even flipped through each copy to make sure no pages had been ripped out and left behind.
Before arriving at the border, the 15-member group was told by Mr Bae not to discuss politics or carry out any overt proselytising. The two or three pastors travelling with them were not to be addressed by their titles.
Once inside North Korea, they were accompanied by government minders at all times. On group hikes with these "tour guides", the source said they sang Christian songs, but hummed key verses to avoid saying "God" out loud.
"That was our way of worshipping and praising in our hearts, even if we could not say it," the source said. "Talking about God directly, that would be asking for a death sentence."
However, for every rule, there is a way around it. In a 2009 sermon, Mr Bae recalled how he had spread the word among the local population.
"One night, I suggested that the team go to karaoke for foreigners to 'worship', but there was a blackout so we had to go out and just sit at the beach. There were also around 30 North Koreans who came out because of the blackout.
"We just worshipped, singing songs about Jesus and playing the guitar like we were playing around. There was one team member from Ghana, so I asked him to pray for us in his language. He came to the front and started repeating, 'God is great' for ten minutes in his language. I was disconcerted but the North Koreans started following this. At the end of the worship, he said, 'Amen' and then all of the North Koreans were surprised and his words spread out quickly."
The tourist who travelled with Mr Bae insisted that he had "no malicious intent" and that his public prayers for the "walls" to come down in North Korea were simply a call for "the leadership to allow more freedom for their people to freely worship if they want to." However, the source conceded that his intent could well have been misinterpreted "from the North Korean government's perspective".
Mr Bae had been trained and sent out by Youth with a Mission, or YWAM. Founded in 1960, the Hawaii-based ministry has become one of the largest missionary organisations in the world.
YWAM has long been an advocate of the "Business as Mission" model, and has its own School of Business and Entrepreneurship.
Its Strategic Frontiers division – which covers much of Asia, in addition to parts
of North Africa and the Middle East – exists "to bring the Kingdom of God to the least reached peoples by creating businesses that operate with biblical principles with the aim of bringing spiritual, social, and physical transformation in and through the business sphere."
Loren Cunningham, YWAM's founder, has said smuggling bibles into North Korea is a critical goal: they will be vital to sustaining morality when the Kim regime eventually collapses.
Perhaps the most firmly planted mission business in North Korea is Krahun Co., a foreign-owned tourism and trade company headquartered in Rason. Operated by a Korean-American named Chris Kim, and his wife, Krahun first set up in 1999 with a goat farm and today has ventures in wholesale rice, detergent, carpets and other "handmade items". There are no public records to show whether it is commercially successful, reliant on church support, or both.
What is surprisingly public, on the other hand, is Krahun's underlying motivation for doing business there.
"Krahun seeks to be a bridge between the Democratic Republic of Korea and the outside world to facilitate believers who have been called by the Father to be His representatives by serving its people through short visits or immigrating to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to be their welcomed neighbours," was how the company described itself at a student missionary conference in St Louis, Missouri, last year.
They call these short visits "vision trips", which combine sightseeing with the chance to "bless the land and its people."
Ben Torrey, the director of another missionary group called the Fourth River Project, knows Chris Kim and Krahun well. According to Mr Torrey, a gentlemen's agreement of sorts exists between Krahun and North Korean officials.
"The authorities know that [Chris Kim's] supporters are Christians and want to come pray for the nation," he said. "They are comfortable with them doing that as long as they do not disparage the North Korean leadership and do not try to evangelise North Koreans or get them involved in the group's religious activities."

BENEDICT XVI MADE "DECISIVE CONTRIBUTION" TO INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE!

Benedict XVI Made 'Decisive Contribution' to Interreligious Dialogue!

This was the view shared today by Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.
The cardinal was presenting a new edition of a book Nov. 12 at the Vatican called “Il Dialogo Interreligioso nell'Insegnamento Ufficiale della Chiesa Cattolica (1963-2013)” (Interreligious Dialogue in the Official Teaching of the Catholic Church, (1963-2013)).
The aim of the book, now in its third edition, is to cover the papal magisterium on matters concerning interreligious dialogue from the Second Vatican Council until the pontificate of Benedict XVI (relations with Jews are not included as that is the responsibility of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity).
The book is written in the spirit of “Nostra Aetate”, which encourages the faithful ”to recognise, safeguard and promote those spiritual and moral goods” in common with other religions, as well as “the socio-cultural values they embody”.
“The novelty of this book”, Cardinal Tauran said, “consists in the collection of annotated texts by Benedict XVI … whose contribution was decisive.”
“In the seven years of his pontificate,” he said, “we find 188 texts regarding interreligious dialogue from Benedict XVI, compared to 591 from John Paul II during more than a quarter of a century.”
“Attention to this theme has been constant, indeed growing, in each pontificate,” he continued. “Benedict XVI proposed a 'dialogue of charity in truth'. A year after the Regensburg address, 38 Muslim scholars, who subsequently increased to 138 in number, wrote to the Pope in a document entitled 'A common word between us and you'.”
That initiative explained the principles of Islam and expressed hope for mutual comprehension, as well as a relationship between Islam and Christianity based on love for God and neighbour, in accordance with the teachings of Jesus.
“The result of this praiseworthy initiative was the creation of the Islamic-Christian Forum, which continues to exist to this day”, the French cardinal said.
He also mentioned that, like his predecessors, Benedict XVI affirmed that religious freedom was a sacred and inalienable right, and he lost no opportunity to confirm this.
“Convinced that to deny or limit religious freedom in an arbitrary fashion means cultivating a reductive vision of the human person and rendering impossible the affirmation of an authentic and lasting peace for the whole human family, the Pope identified in the process of worldwide globalisation, still in process, a fortuitous occasion for promoting relationships of universal brotherhood among men,” he said.
The book is fundamentally a collection of Council texts, encyclicals, apostolic exhortations and addresses from John XXIII to Benedict XVI. There are also some documents from the dicasteries of the Roman Curia regarding interreligious dialogue. In total there are 909 documents, consisting of 7 Council texts, 2 by John XXIII, 97 by Paul VI, 2 by John Paul I, 591 by John Paul II, 188 by Benedict XVI, 15 from the Roman Curia, 3 legislative texts, and 4 from the International Theological Commission.
A Long Way to Go
Fr. Miguel Angel Ayuso Guixot, Secretary of the Pontifical Council, said “there is still a long way to go but with Pope Francis the dialogue of friendship continues.”
“In just a few months, Pope Francis has already held many meetings with representatives of other religions, and has spoken widely on interreligious dialogue,” he said. “I would also like to recall that this year the Pope himself signed the annual message to the Muslim community to celebrate the end of Ramadan”.
Fr. Ayuso briefly listed the statements made by the most recent Popes in their teachings on dialogue with followers of other religions.
For example, Paul VI, in his “Ecclesiam Suam”, expressed his profound conviction that “The Church must enter into dialogue with the world in which it lives. It has something to say, a message to give, a communication to make”. John Paul I, in spite of the brevity of his 33-day pontificate, followed the same path as his predecessor, “calling all to collaborate in creating a bulwark, within nations, against blind violence and to promote improvement in the conditions of less fortunate populations”.
John Paul II developed the “culture of dialogue” and, following the dramatic events of 11 September 2001 and their tragic consequences in the Middle and Near East, proposed a decalogue for peace to the Heads of State and representatives of the governments throughout the world.
At the beginning of Benedict XVI's pontificate and in the wake of John Paul II, he stated that “the Church wants to continue building bridges of friendship with the followers of all religions, in order to seek the true good of every person and of society as a whole”.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL STATES "VIVE LA FRANCE ON IRAN"!!

Vive La France on Iran!

We never thought we'd say this, but thank heaven for French foreign-policy exceptionalism. At least for the time being, François Hollande's Socialist government has saved the West from a deal that would all but guarantee that Iran becomes a nuclear power.
While the negotiating details still aren't fully known, the French made clear Saturday that they objected to a nuclear agreement that British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama were all too eager to sign. These two leaders remind no one, least of all the Iranians, of Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush. That left the French to protect against a historic security blunder, with Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius declaring in an interview with French radio that while France still hopes for an agreement with Tehran, it won't accept a "sucker's deal."

Related Video

And that's exactly what seems to have been on the table as part of a "first-step agreement" good for six months as the parties negotiated a final deal. Tehran would be allowed to continue enriching uranium, continue manufacturing centrifuges, and continue building a plutonium reactor near the city of Arak. Iran would also get immediate sanctions relief and the unfreezing of as much as $50 billion in oil revenues—no small deliverance for a regime whose annual oil revenues barely topped $95 billion in 2011.
In return the West would get Iranian promises. There is a promise not to activate the Arak reactor, a promise not to use its most advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium or to install new ones, a promise to stop enriching uranium to 20%, which is near-weapons' grade, and to convert its existing stockpile into uranium oxide (a process that is reversible).
What Iran has not promised to do is abide by the Additional Protocol of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), which imposes additional reporting requirements on Iran and allows U.N. inspectors to conduct short-notice inspections of nuclear facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has complained for years that Iran has refused to answer its questions fully or provide inspectors with access to all of its facilities. IAEA inspectors have been barred from visiting Arak since August 2011.
In other words, the deal gives Iran immediate, if incomplete, sanctions relief and allows it to keep its nuclear infrastructure intact and keep expanding it at a slightly slower pace. And the deal contains no meaningful mechanisms for verifying compliance. "What we have to do is to make sure that there is a good deal in place from the perspective of us verifying what they're doing," President Obama told NBC's Chuck Todd in an interview Wednesday. What we have is the opposite.
The President also told Mr. Todd that if Iran fails to honor the deal the U.S. can re-apply existing sanctions: "We can crank that dial back up."
That's also misleading. Once sanctions are eased, the argument will always be made (no doubt by Mr. Obama) that dialing them back up will give Iran the excuse to restart enrichment. Any "interim" agreement gives more negotiating leverage to Iran. If Iran really intends to cease its nuclear program, it should be willing to do so immediately and unconditionally.
Enlarge Image

All of this echoes the strategy Iran pursued after its illicit nuclear facilities were discovered in 2002. Current Iranian President Hasan Rouhani was his country's nuclear negotiator from 2003 to 2005, when Iran briefly suspended its civilian and military nuclear work in the teeth of intense international pressure (and American armies on its borders with Iraq and Afghanistan). That previous suspension is treated by U.S. negotiators as a model of what they might achieve now.
It's really a model of what they should beware. "Tehran showed that it was possible to exploit the gap between Europe and the United States to achieve Iranian objectives," Hossein Mousavian, Mr. Rouhani's deputy at the time, acknowledged in his memoir. "The world's understanding of 'suspension' was changed from a legally binding obligation" to "a voluntary and short-term undertaking aimed at confidence building."
Now the U.S. seems to be falling for the same ruse again. This time, however, Iran is much closer to achieving its nuclear objectives. No wonder Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu felt compelled to warn the Administration and Europe that they risked signing "a very, very bad deal," a blunt public rebuke from a Prime Minister who has been notably cautious about criticizing the White House. The Saudis, who gave up on this Administration long ago, are no doubt thinking along similar lines. The BBC reported last week that the Kingdom has nuclear weapons "on order" from Pakistan.
The negotiators plan to resume talks on November 20, and France will be under enormous pressure to go along with a deal. We hope Messrs. Hollande and Fabius hold firm, and the U.S. Congress could help by strengthening sanctions and passing a resolution insisting that any agreement with Iran must include no uranium enrichment, the dismantling of the Arak plutonium project and all centrifuges, and intrusive, on-demand inspections. Anything less means that Iran is merely looking to con the West into easing sanctions even as it can restart its program whenever it likes.

ROME - Calling Jews “our older big brothers,” Pope Francis marked the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht by renewing what he termed his “closeness and solidarity with the Jewish people.”
Francis spoke about the anniversary following his Sunday address to the faithful in St. Peter’s Square.“Today is the 75th anniversary of the so-called ‘Crystal Night,’ ” he said. The violence on the night between Nov. 9-10,1938 against Jews, their synagogues, homes, and businesses, he said, “signaled a sad step toward the tragedy of the Shoah”. He added, “We renew our closeness and solidarity with the Jewish people, our older big brothers. And we pray to God that the memory of the past, the memory of past sins, helps us to be ever vigilant against any form of hate and intolerance.

TURKEY AND THE BROTHERHOOD ARE LOOKING TO FORM AN ISLAMIST SUPER-BLOC WITH IRAN AND HEXBOLLAH!!

Islamist Super-Bloc Begins Forming in the Middle East

Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood are looking to end the war in Syria with the goal of forming an Islamist super-bloc with Iran and Hezbollah.

A monumental strategic shift is taking place in the Middle East as an Islamist super-bloc is forming. Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhoodare making up with Iran and Hezbollah. Egypt and the Gulf states are forming their own alliance. The U.S. outreach to Iran and the Brotherhood has left it missing from the equation.
The Syrian civil war has pitted the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood and Turkey against Iran, Hezbollah, Iraq and the Syrian regime since 2011. Now, with a bloody stalemate resulting in consequences each side fears, the two sides are looking for ways to make amends.
Turkey has been trying to move its relationship with Iran past the ancient Ottoman-Persian rivalry for years. The Erdogan governmentgave secret U.S. intelligence to Iran and in early 2012, informed Iran about ten of its nationals meeting with Israeli intelligence inside Turkey.
One of the architects of the Turkish-Iranian relationship is Turkish intelligence chief Hakan Fidan, who the Israeli Defense Ministerdescribed as a “friend of Iran.” Some Israeli officials privately refer to him as the “station chief in Ankara” for Iranian intelligence.
These statements about Fidan’s role is not hype. The recent U.S. ambassador to Turkey and Iraq, James Jeffrey, put it this way:“Hakan Fidan is the face of the new Middle East.”
Until recently, the bitter civil war in Syria blunted Fidan’s aspirations. Turkey’s ideological ally, the Muslim Brotherhood, is trying to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Iran’s most valuable ally. But now both sides are exhausted. The war is costly, bloody and no one is gaining anything by its continuance.
Turkey sees Al-Qaeda affiliates taking control of the Syrian rebel cause and Kurdish militias gaining control near the border. The cost of overthrowing Assad would be exorbitant. Al-Qaeda and the Kurds would be even stronger and sectarian warfare will exasperate the refugee crisis.
Assad’s Iranian and Russians backers want him (or at least his regime) to remain in power for strategic reasons, but both have to realize that his forces are overstretched and cannot hope to reclaim the entirety of the country.
High-level Turkish and Iranian officials are meeting with the expressed purpose of ending the sectarian conflict. An unnamed senior Turkey official told Reuters, “Both Iran and Turkey are at a point where they think they can work together on Syria.”

MINI HOLIDAY BREAK IN MID WALES, AND BRIEF REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEKEND IN CROSS KEYS AND PONTYPOOL.

Dear Friends,

I enjoyed a lovely pre-winter break in Mid Wales last week courtesy of my very generous mother Kathleen, therefore Gilly, mother, and myself had a splendid time in the western parts of the UK.  We spent some quality time with my good friend Nancy Williams (from Nancy's Farm), who sadly recently lost her dear son Gwyn to cancer. She is till very distraught and is in need of our continual prayers.

On the Friday evening of November 9th, we had a great time of fellowship, food and ministry at a new location for me at the "UPPER ROOM" in CROSS KEYS near NEWPORT with lovely and jovial hosts as John and Di Whittle. I spoke on the subject "THE DARK BEFORE THE DAWN", in these perilous latter times in which we live, as part of an on-going series I normally preach in new venues under the umbrella title of "THE LAST DAYS"! There was a good attendance, and a lovely warm atmosphere of fellowship as we split the talk into two sessions. The event was recorded and might be available to watch on this blog soon.

The following day, on Saturday the 9th November, we moved further up the depressed valleys of South East Wales to Torfaen, and to the home and the church of my good friends Neville and Hazel Stephens near Pontypool.

They have run the ZION church and the Pontypool branch of the PWMI for nearly two years now, but sadly have decided to close this fellowship down and to move on to pastures new. I was very privileged to be the first speaker at PONTYPOOL back in February 2012, and it was my honour again to be the guest speaker to close proceedings at this lovely old church building.

I took three full sessions at Zion under the general heading of "GOD IS SPEAKING TO THE NATIONS TODAY....THROUGH ISRAEL", and there was also a full Q&A session to conclude a long but very fulfilling day of praise in the Lord. The final session also embraced a section which we called "THANK YOU AND GOODBYE", as we gave thanks for the faithful service of Neville and Hazel, and brought the final curtain down on the Christian meetings and activities taking place at dear old Zion Church in Talywain. All of these four gatheings were recorded by our good friend Keith Cline from Bristol, and will soon be available on DVD for the generous price of just £10.

We always enjoy our regular visits to this area, for we love coming to South Wales every year, and although Zion has now closed, we will still come back to minister at The Upper Room, Nancy's Farm, The Salvation Army, and anywhere else we are asked to attend in South Wales.

Every Blessing,
BRIAN.

"KURU" - ANOTHER END TIMES DISEASE IN THE MAKING AS SYRIANS START EATING FELLOW SYRIANS IN GROSS ACTS OF CANNIBALISM!!

Kuru Disease Devoloping In Syria Due To Cannibalism


By Theodore Shoebat
Janelle Vaesa, a scientist with a Master of Science degree in Public Health from the University of Louisville, published an article on September of this year, in which she referenced our article on the one Syrian rebel who ate a man’s lung and on the other who barbequed a man’s head, and forewarned that kuru will arise from such cannibalism and violence, writing:
If Syrian rebels are reportedly barbequeing their enemies’ heads and eating hearts on video, are they putting themselves in danger?…Kuru, also known as the “laughing disease” can be transmitted from person to person who engage in cannibalism due to prions in the brain.
Her warning is coming to fruition. As reported from the Middle East, there are between 8 to 20 cases of kuru in Syria, and this only could have come as a result of cannibalism.
We know that kuru is contracted from eating human brains, and a potential puzzle piece to this case is the photo, which we wrote about in the previous article, of a Syrian rebel barbequing a man’s head:
fsa-grill-officers-original1
How does cannibalism arise from Islam? What needs to be understood is that this violent behavior, while not being taught in the Koran, is innate within heresy. Heresy always leads to paganism.
A good example is Mormonism; Mormon theology denies the Trinity, and to many this would seem as a non-issue. But a simple study on Mormon church history shows that as the cult grew, evil and violent ideas developed, such as blood atonement, or the ritual in which a person who has committed what was viewed as an unforgivable sin (such as blaspheming Joseph Smith) had to have his throat cut and his blood drained to obtain redemption.
Another good example as to how heresy leads to paganism, is the Eutychian heretical movement of the 5th century. It was founded by one Eutyches, and he believed that Christ did not receive His flesh from the Virgin Mary, he rejected that God could not have a human body from the womb of a woman, but that His flesh was purely of a divine substance and not like our own. (1) We deem this doctrine as anti-trinitarian.
Now, most people today would perceive the Eutychians as a harmless group; their doctrines would be seen as a personal preference, and their teachings would be welcomed with the usual cliche of, ‘They believe in Jesus, and that’s all that matters.’ The modern perspective would hold this view, because modern people no longer hold Christianity as the system which dominates their lives, but a mere individual opinion amongst the others. ‘You have your belief, and I have mine,’ and if anyone questioned the Eutychians, they would be berated with the common saying, ‘theology is irrelevant, what matters is good morals.’
Lets see the later result of this heresy. A Eutychian named Timotheus, who had been a presbyter of the church of Alexandria, in his hatred of the orthodox Christians, attacked the bishop Proterius, a major opponent of their heresy, him with a mob. He fled to the holy baptistery, and when the violent multitude found him, Timotheus thrust his sword into Proterius’ bowels. They then hung his body on a chord, and like Muslims, cheered and wildly cried in pride of their murder of Proterius, and after they had dragged the perished bishop through the whole city, they burnt it and then, being most definitely under the control of demonic power, ate his intestines. (2)
How does the belief in Christ having no human nature lead them into cannibalism? Satan has no limits, and once one is in his grasp, one will be plunged into the limitless ocean of the diabolical. Islam rejects the crucifixion, and so does it seek to butcher the innocent for its own redemption.
Most Muslims are not cannibals, but at the same time, most Muslims do not understand their own theology, and how rooted it is in the lowest depths of hell.
I understand that this may be difficult to comprehend, so I would encourage you to read our extensive research on Islam and cannibalism and human sacrifice here and here.
