OPPOSING OR QUESTIONING ISLAM: Is That A Racist Act?
by Audrey Russo “Islam is an ideology. It’s not a race.” ~Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesperson
If you care about truth in today’s world culture…you’re going against the flow. Truth is the new “hate speech”, especially if that speech is about the new Leftist/Marxist victim of the moment: Islam. According to the Left…taking its lead from Islam (Sharia Islamic Law)…if you even question Islam, you are committing a hate crime and are branded a racist. But there is a wee bit of a problem with this premise: Islam…is NOT a race, hence the racist label is void!...Continue reading....
Islam is not a race. Muslims are not a race. Islam is an ideology that should be open to critical examination. Muslims, however, are individuals who should be protected from harm or harassment in the same way and for the same reasons as anyone else. thereligionofpeace.com Richard Dawkins, "If Islam is a race, then socialism is a race, birdwatching is a race, femaleness is a race.": https://twitter.com/richarddawkins/status/528454775604797440

Social media, microchip solve lost dog mystery
“I most definitely recommend them for anybody with animals. The first thing you should do is get them microchipped,” Brandy Mitchell said Wednesday.
Mitchell feared she would never see her beloved Bella again after the Yorkie-Chihuahua disappeared four months ago during an incident outside Market Mall.
“I was completely devastated. I was heartbroken every day until I got her back,” she said.
Bella has gone pretty much everywhere with Mitchell since she adopted the dog from the SPCA six years ago...Continue reading, video...

"Short Movie" Laura Marling
Laura Marling loosens up the reins and explores being lost on Short Movie
By Short Movie is the sound of Laura Marling’s identity crisis. It’s her first album that actually sounds comfortable, and like Marling herself, might not be fully comfortable with that fact. Once I Was An Eagle was a towering record, an intimate yet epic album full of lush, bombastic songs and vocals often feverish in their intensity. But still, Marling and her acoustic guitar were always at the heart of things. That album marked her artistic evolution from precocious “old soul” to a young woman fully in command of her talent. Now she’s self-possessed, with an ease and relaxed vibe that has never before come through as fully as it does here...Continue reading...
Boeing patents sci-fi force field that deflects explosive shock waves
By Ryan Whitwam
Boeing is perhaps best known for the commercial aircraft that most people have flown on at one point or another. But the company also has interests in rockets, satellites, space exploration, and an array of military technology. Its latest patent takes a turn toward the science fictional, with a design for a force-field system that could protect vehicles from nearby explosions. Rather than deflecting projectiles aimed directly at the vehicle, this system would muffle the shock wave resulting from an explosion, which is often the most damaging aspect.
When a bomb or other explosive ordinance detonates, it causes a rapid increase in heat and pressure. The resulting shock wave carries a great deal of energy outward from the blast site. Knowing which direction the blast is coming from could allow Boeing’s new force-field technology to spare a small area from the full force of the explosion. Whereas most of the energy shields from Star Trek and Star Wars are fully encompassing, long-term barriers, Boeing’s force field would exist only for a moment in a very limited area...Continue reading...

Almighty battle for Bruce the cat after legs bound by tape | Video
Bruce Almighty looks like Kitty Mittens. Bruce brings a tear to my eye. I feel sad and very angry. Get well soon Bruce Almighty. By Rachel Psutka, Leader-Post:
REGINA — A fluffy black and white cat with a raspy meow and the will
to survive is facing an almighty battle after he was found in a
northwest Regina neighbourhood with electrical tape wrapped tightly
around his limbs.Named Bruce Almighty by the after-hours emergency animal protection officers who rushed to his aid Wednesday evening, the two- or three-year-old cat has extensive damage to his legs and paws after the cruel and deliberate act, Regina Humane Society executive director Lisa Koch said.
“I think that it had been a tremendous struggle for him,” Koch said. “Our officers see a lot of terrible things and at that moment when he collapsed in their arms, he knew he was safe. That’s when they named him Bruce Almighty, because they knew that he had a lot of fight in him. When he arrived at our shelter he knew he was safe and he could quit fighting, and we could start fighting for him.”

This campaign is being run by the Regina Humane Society. The page organizer is an employee of the Shelter.
Bruce Almighty was found on the evening of March 18, 2015 in Regina, SK, Canada when he wandered into a yard in the northwest area of the City. Gravely concerned by what they saw, the homeowners immediately called the Animal Protection team at the Regina Humane Society.
Officers responded and the young cat, estimated to be between two and three years old, was found with electrical tape tightly bound around his legs and paws. The tape, which had severely restricted circulation over time, had caused massive tissue loss and infection in the extremities. The cat, who had no identification, collapsed into the arms of officers late Wednesday evening and purred as they began the delicate process of removing the bands which had destroyed his limbs.
“Bruce Almighty” named for his fierce determination and will to live, underwent hours of emergency surgery as RHS veterinarians attempted to save his legs. While the Society is hopeful that enough healthy tissue remains to keep his legs and the infection can be treated, his status remains very guarded.
“The pain and suffering he has endured is unimaginable” said senior RHS Animal Protection Officer B. Lerat. “He is fortunate that a caring member of the public alerted us to his whereabouts. The public really is our eyes and ears when it comes to reporting cases of neglect and abuse involving animals.”
We are seeking to raise funds to help cover the significant cost of Bruce Almighty's treatment and recovery. It is expected that one of his legs will need to be amputated by Shelter Veterinarians and he will need ongoing wound and infection care. Any donation, no matter the size will make a huge difference for Bruce Almighty. Any money raised in excess of the goal will be used to help other animals at the Shelter in need and will also be used to provide further animal protection and cruelty work by the RHS.
The Society receives no government funding for enforcement of animal cruelty laws and relies solely on its community of donors to continue this important work.
All donations will receive a tax receipt from the Regina Humane Society.
This case is being treated as an open investigation we urge anyone who recognizes the cat or knows anything about the case to please contact Regina Humane Society’s Animal Protection Services. http://www.gofundme.com/brucealmighty

Her Horse Was Sinking Quickly When She Did Something Unforgettable
(via Daily Mail & viralnova ) Nicole Graham, a mother from Melbourne, Australia, recently went for a
leisurely horse ride along the beach with her daughter. However, the
afternoon quickly shifted from a relaxing outing to a living nightmare.
Graham’s horse, an 18-year-old steed named Astro, ventured into
unexpectedly treacherous mud and was followed by her daughter’s horse
before she could warn them.
Graham was able to get herself, her daughter, and her daughter’s smaller horse free, but Astro remained stuck.

Delivery of US Weapons and Ammunition to ISIS: Iraqi Commander Wiretaps ISIS Communications with US Military
“The wiretapped ISIL communications by Iraqi popular forces have revealed that the US planes have been dropping weapons and foodstuff for the Takfiri terrorist group,” Commander of Iraq’s Ali Akbar Battalion told FNA on Wednesday.
He noted that tapping on ISIL disclosed the terrorist group’s regular contacts with the US army, and said,
“They exchanged sentences like if they would have a share of the ammunition dropped near (Spiker Military Base) or responses such as ‘you will also receive your share’.”“The US forces by dropping weapons and ammunition for ISIL, specially in Yassreb, Al-Ramadi and near Spiker Base in Hay al-Qadessiya have provided a lot of help to the ISIL,” he added.
Many similar reports by Iraqi officials and forces have surfaced in the last few months.
In February, an Iraqi provincial official lashed out at the western countries and their regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, revealing that the US airplanes still continue to airdrop weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL terrorists...Continue reading...

Altar of the Lord Rebuilt in Jerusalem — a Sign of the Times?
by Jessilyn Justice: The Dome of the Rock, which is known to the Jews as the Temple Mount.

The Temple Institute has rebuilt an altar to the Lord in Jerusalem, and international scholars are marveling at the significance behind it.
As part of the "Temple Movement" in Israel, the altar was inaugurated in December, and reports indicate it could be ready for Passover.
"We know that end-time prophecy cannot be fulfilled without the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem," says New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Cahn. "The abomination desolation prophesied in Daniel and in the Gospels, must take place within the Temple precincts. So, too, the apostle Paul speaks of the 'man of sin,' or the Antichrist, sitting in the Temple of God. What many people don't realize is that along with the Holy of Holies, the altar of the Temple is the most central and critical part of the Temple."
The Temple Institute's goal "is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time," according to their website.
Jewish pilgrims are seeing the impact of the rebuilt temple, as well.
Though the full temple has not been reconstructed, the Institute is pressing toward that.
"What's so special about coming here on Tisha Be'av is that this is the location where the Temples were destroyed – just on the other side of the Wall," Gutman Locks tells the Jerusalem Post. "And that's where the third one will be built when the Messiah comes, and that one will not be destroyed.
"Even though it's the saddest time of the year, we can see Jews come back to the land again, which was prophesized for thousands of years. We can actually see it happening."...Continue reading...

About The Raven
Luke 12:24
- Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither
have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye
better than the fowls?

Ceremony in Kuwait for Sergeant Doiron
A Poem from Roger Borchert in memory of Sergeant Doiron
In respect of the loss of Sgt. Andrew Joseph Doiron With spring time Just around the corner With hearts lifted, fancy free Thinking of the warmth to come Now drawn to our knees Dreams shattered, minds a chill Hearts numbed, by the news We lost a heart Oh Canada A gift to those in need To help to stamp the terror from Their homeland, from their streets The brave have stepped Forth to the task They place themselves within the midst They provide the knowledge Hard to find To greet the foe they meet No they didn’t have to go there They could safely, walk away But for heroes who step forth to save Bring our world a new day They know the dangers Know the pain Terror sows across our world And step to teach Stand to lead To others lend a hand A Special Forces Soldier For that is who he was Special not, just in what he did For the nation that he loved As hearts of those he served with break As tears well up in the eyes Of those who held him oh so dear Please know a nation holds you close In that darkest moment life unfolds For life was taken from A special Canadian soldier who Stood for a better world to come Your efforts Sgt. Doiron will not be forgotten. You are Canada, and you and your fellow troops are in our hearts. Sgt. Andrew Joseph Doiron we knew you not, but our prayers reach out for you, your loved ones, friends, and fellow soldiers. We do, so dearly, thank you and your loved ones for your efforts towards making our world a better place.
