Number three in a Series of Articles in the Next 24 Hours

The following articles appearing on A Crooked Path may at first look appear purely political, or purely a current event, but they go deeper and directly to the heart and mind, the continuing decline in the spiritual health of a nation. The moral and spiritual rot and decline accelerating throughout America, the West, and all the world.

While the subject matter of the following articles might seem unfit for a place stating it is a Christian faith-based website, made straight by the Word of God, every act, everything that occurs on this earth — everything — is within the framework of the Biblical times in which we live and goes directly to the lost state of massive populations of people. Of the erosion, corruption, and decline in leadership. Of the rampant and escalating immoralities, lies, and delusions present in our leaders, in our people, in the leaders and people of the world.

A corrupt and fallen world. A corrupt and perverse people. A people in great darkness and falling into greater delusion, greater lies, evil ways. If that is possible. And it is.

Some of the articles that will appear here this night will be upsetting. They ought to be. Some will cause the reader to doubt what they are reading is factual. And it will make many uncomfortable. Many even angry.

Don’t be angered. Be directed and led to use this information for increased spiritual wisdom and understanding. To hone, refine and strengthen your spiritual walk.

Be directed to greater, bolder, deeper larger praying. Leaving yourself out of those prayers accept to ask in faith for God to increase your faith, your spiritual wisdom, and understanding, your knowledge and that His will be done on earth, as in heaven, and that His Kingdom come. Faithfully knowing that we may not understand how what is happening can and will eventually work to good, but it will.

Not the evil being done. Not the awful sin and carnage, lies, immoralities, and every abomination taking place in greater numbers. No! Heaven forbid! Do not misunderstand. But all that is taking place is taking place for a reason. And while we may want to stop the pain, stop the violence, stop the death and destruction, halt the sin, halt all the perceived bad things according to our ways and understanding know there is coming a time when justice, God’s justice will be met out and all will be understood.

We are not the power. It’s not about us.

God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit is the power. It’s all about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And are we believing? Are we faithful? Are we knowledgeable and growing, becoming mature in the faith? Are we bearing fruit? Are we making God and our salvation and the salvation of others our priority? Are we able to understand what is happening and separate it wisely, in a healthy manner? Understanding the true nature of human beings and not being misled by all the worldly teachings, the false teachings about how good people are and how people can make this world a better place…if only.

The if only…

is missing the competition by everyone along those lines of thinking in that they never bring God, believing and following as a true disciple, the Holy Spirt, or the Bible into the conversation and equation. I write now of every person in the world, and at this place in time the overwhelming majority of professed Christians. Who are misled by vainly believing they can create the kingdom of God on earth. Themselves. If only…

By their power and will. Leaving God out of things.

If only…

They would come out of the darkness, leave the false teachings, and follow the doctrines of the Bible rather than the doctrines of man.

Lastly, do not misunderstand. I am not railing against the government or demeaning government or the offices of our country or any country. God created human government. God ordained the offices. We are to respect the offices. The power behind those, which is God. Not the revolving door of men and women passing through.

Too many are enraptured in politics, in nationalism, in whether they are this label or that one. And in all the noise and distractions they repeatedly fail to see Who and what they ought to be placing their faith in and following. Where and with Who, and how, and what they ought to be placing more of their time and attention.

Are we true disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ? According to the Word of God. Not what we might say or think, or what some modern-day unsound doctrine might say. According to the Word of God are we truly transformed? Born anew? Jesus’ disciples? True children of God and not this worlds?

Pondering those matters.

Rather than all these earthly matters.

As horrific, as troubling as they can be, as awful as they are. And many will be paid out here tonight.

Read the Bible.

There have always been horrific things, awful things, evil people, evil and terrible events.

Why?

Not because of God…

God created perfection and Paradise FOR man, FOR woman.

And who turned that to dung by their will and disobedience?

Did God?

No, but the overwhelming majority, even those that claim they don’t believe in God blame God for everything. “How can a loving God allow…?”

Simple, folks. Because the earth still exists. It’s full of people. All who are sinners and it is our sinful natures, OUR DOING that all this happens. God didn’t make this world as it is now and has been since Adam and Eve disobeyed. We the people, our natures, our rebellion built-in, our sin has made the world as it has been all these thousands of years. Stop blaming God. Stop questioning God. Stop expecting God to fix everything you don’t like. It will not happen with all these people and all our sin and rebellion folks.

We have wrought what we have by our rebellion and disobedience towards God.

Yes, there most certainly is Divine Providence. A lot of it.

But if you want all the terrible things to end?

Then the world ends.

And it will.

Because not until the Lord’s work is done and not until the last soul that comes to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and they commit their heart, their lives to Jesus, and after that last person does? And there is so much sin, so many terrible things taking place on earth, and it becomes so awful that unless God shortened the days even the elect would be lost?

Then will it all change. According to the Word of God.

And everything that you see and hear that makes you sad, makes you cringe, makes you want to turn the TV off, shut things out, get off this page of A Crooked Path, and you’d just like to have 3 wishes to make the world a better place it’s become so dreadful, violent, immoral, unrighteous and wicked (example — Harvard University just hired an atheist to be the Chaplain at that school. Why? Because more than 40% of young people are not religious and don’t believe, yet this atheist has been hired to be the Chaplain to supposed Christian, Jewish and young people professing various faiths. He’s also the Chaplain to Hindu’s you name it — THIS is the lost, evil state of things on this earth, in this spiritually diseased land. The Lord will be returning — sooner than later, dear ones, sooner than later. So, increase in spiritual faith, knowledge, strength, wisdom, and understanding. Daily. Nightly. Continually) that isn’t going to happen until the Lord Jesus Christ does return.

In the meantime? Until then?

Suit up! Armour up! Wisdom and understanding and knowledge up! Grow up in spiritual maturity and spiritual matters and come to see and understand what is happening and why.

And if you’ve been putting faith in a government? A man, a woman? A political party? A nation? A manmade document? An election?

Well, you’d better get your priorities and life in order. Now. Not later.

And while I may rail against certain men and various actions I respect the authority established and ordained by God. I respect the offices. The government was established. That’s one thing that is so upsetting — because those that are within those offices and governments ordained by God do not truly see God, know God, turn to God — not really — for if they did? While it might not be the Garden of Eden before Adam and Eve listened to the devil rather than God it sure would be a different place and places and people than it is.

And it’s only going to get worse. Not better. Because of the wickedness, the immorality, the rebellion, the false teachings, the false teachers, the liars and their lies, the delusion, the sin will only metastasize and grow. To ever deadly and terrible proportions. The darkness will only increase.

If doubting this, or not liking it?

It’s not according to me. It’s according to the Word of God. Because of the hearts and minds of men and women and many children at this place in world history.

There are answers. All the right ones. There is a truth to be known, found, and discovered that can change everything. For the better, in the long run, as eternally. For an INDIVIDUAL. And that is found, only found, always found in the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God.

Come to understand why the things that are happening are taking place. It can be understood. Increase in knowledge, in wisdom, in understanding. God didn’t create human beings with the large functioning brains in their heads that He did merely as filler. Or to be so preoccupied with what game is on Sunday, what’s on TV tonight, or to not be able to discern the times. Know the signs.

Ask for wisdom, spiritual wisdom, in FAITH, and it will be given. Ask for spiritual blessings and they will be given, when prayed fr faithfully. Not according to our will, but according to God’s will.

Let’s live lives aspiring to heaven rather than continually attempting to lower God to our base level, or not think of Him at all.

Now the articles for this evening and perhaps into the morning…

Copulating with Corpses: The Taliban Exposed

The necrophilic inclinations of Afghanistan’s new masters.

Friday, August 27, 2021

By Raymond Ibrahim

Reprinted from FrontPageMag

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

According to an August 22 report, a female Afghan refugee to India just “revealed that the Taliban has sex with dead bodies.”  While discussing how the terrorist group thrives on raping women, she asserted that “They rape dead bodies too. They don’t care whether the person is dead or alive… Can you imagine this?”

The report continues:  “The practice of having sex with corpses is called necrophilia. She revealed that Taliban either picked up [dead?] women or shot them. Muskan revealed that a woman was picked up by the Taliban only yesterday.”

What to make of this macabre revelation?  No doubt, many will point to it as “proof” that the Taliban’s Islam was, as the apologists of Islam had long claimed, always skin deep—a veneer to legitimize their otherwise illegitimate and corrupt rule.  After all, if they were “students [of Islam]”—the very definition of taliban—they more than the average Afghan would know that Islam forbids such a disgusting practice.  Right?

Alas, the opposite is true.  Just as pedophilia with boys (Afghanistan’s bacha bazi or “dancing boys”) has Islamic backing, so too does necrophilia, by way of Muslim scriptures, commentaries, and fatwas (Islamic decrees).

It begins, as usual, with the prophet of Islam: Muhammad.  According to a bizarre hadith (a recorded tradition concerning his sayings and doings) that exists in six of Islam’s classical reference texts (including the important Kanz al-‘Umal  and al-Hujja fi Biyan al-Mahujja), Muhammad once took off his shirt, placed it on a dead woman, and then descended into her grave to “lay with her.”

As they hurled dirt atop the corpse and Muhammad, the grave diggers exclaimed, “O Prophet, we see you doing a thing you never did with anyone else,” to which he responded: “I dressed her in my shirt so that she may be dressed in heavenly robes, and I lay with her in her grave so that the pressures of the grave [also known as Islam’s torments of the grave] may be alleviated from her.”

One can interpret this, and there certainly is no reason to insist that Muhammad was actually copulating with the corpse.  There are, however, some hurdles:

First, the two Arabic words (ataja‘ ma‘ha اضطجع معها) which I translate above as “lay with her,” are also used in Arabic to mean “intercourse.” This is similar to the English idiom, “to lay with her,” which can literally mean nothing more than laying down with a woman, but often is an indirect reference to sex.  More than a few Muslim clerics have made this linguistic observation.

Second, Sunni Islam’s four orthodox schools of jurisprudence (or madhahib al- fiqh)—namely, al-Hanafi, al-Hanbali, al-Maliki, and al-Shafi‘i—implicitly permit necrophilia.  None of them actually addresses it on its own; rather, they give it a nod whenever it comes up in the context of other topics.  Thus, in the section on adultery, the Maliki teaching is that “If a husband enters his dead wife—any which way, from front or behind—there is no penalty for him” (Sharh Mukhtasar al-Khalil fi al-fiqh al-Maliki).

Similarly, Shafi‘i rulings on ablution point out that it is unnecessary to rewash the body of the dead—male or female adds the Hanbali madhhab—after penetrating it, though the penis of the penetrator does require washing.

Regardless of all the above, it is not for the non-Muslim—certainly not for me—to tell Muslims what their texts are really saying and teaching.  That is the job of their ulema: scholars and clerics devoted to learning the deep truths of Islam.  Thus, the real question remains: do modern day ulema permit necrophilia?

The lamentable answer is yes.  For instance, in 2011 a leading Moroccan cleric and founding member of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Abdul Bari Zamzami, issued a fatwa permitting the Muslim husband to copulate with his dead wife.  He prefaced his decree by saying that, although he does not necessarily approve of this act, it is not for him to ban what Islam permits.  As proof, he cited the aforementioned rulings of Islam’s schools of jurisprudence.

Soon thereafter, in April 2012, when the Muslim Brotherhood held the  presidency of Egypt, news that Islamist Egyptian parliamentarians were trying to pass a law legalizing necrophilia appeared.  Although Al Ahram, Egypt’s most reputable paper reported the story, it was quickly dismissed as a hoax in Western media (which often happens whenever Islam makes the news in ways that do not comport with Western sensibilities).  As one journalist argued, “This ugly rumor and hoax, thought to originate in a fatwa by [the aforementioned] sheikh Zamzami, a noted Moroccan cleric, should be doubted for the simple reason that no Egyptian Islamist sheikh, or any other Imam, has ever been reported to approve of necrophilia.”

If that was true in 2012, it wasn’t in 2017, when necrophilia was yet again mentioned and legitimized, this time by Sheikh Sabri Abdul Raeuf, a professor at Egypt’s Al Azhar—the Islamic world’s most prestigious university (which Pope Francis considers an ally). During a televised show in Egypt, the Sheikh/professor was asked if it is permissible for a husband to penetrate his wife after death.  He replied, “It is not favorable in Islam; however Islamic law considers it as halal”—that is, permissible, not a crime or sin deserving of punishment in the here or hereafter (unlike, for example, the heinous crime of apostasy, leaving Islam).

A subsequent Youm7 Arabic report titled (in translation) “The Books of al-Shafi‘i, al-Hanbali, and al-Hanafi Reveal that Sex with a Dead Wife is Not Adultery,” verified the Al Azhar professor’s claims.

Nor, it should be noted, is necrophilia limited to crazy terrorists lurking halfway around the world.  In the UK, late one night in 2019, a Muslim man, Kasim Khuram, broke into a funeral home, opened several coffins, and, having made his “selections,” proceeded to yank out and “rape” two female corpses.  When police arrested him, Khuram explained his actions by laughingly saying, “Every hole is a goal.”

At any rate, after the expenditure of two decades’ worth of American blood and treasure, here is yet another, especially disgusting, reminder of who the Biden administration has left in charge of Afghanistan.
