In 1988, 270 innocent people died a terrifying death due to the work of Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, who was working for the Libyan government.
After years of investigative work and diplomatic wrangling which we won’t rehash here, al-Megrahi was tried and convicted in a British court to 27 years in prison.
But he is about to go free because he has terminal prostate cancer. This is an afront to justice and an insult to the families of the 270 innocent civilians killed 21 years ago.
Part of murdering people and getting caught and thrown in jail is that you will very likely take your last breath in a barren hospital jail cell all alone. There is nothing honorable in letting monsters like Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi go free out of a false sense of compassion.

If ever there was evidence of the sinister nature of Shariah-Compliant Finance, it can be found in Iran.
Iran is the world’s foremost terrorist-sponsoring nation, a country which sponsors Hezbollah, HAMAS and Al Qaeda.
Iran also supports the Taliban with weaponry in their fight against NATO forces in Afghanistan. And it is common knowledge that Iran is the principle supplier and training ground for insurgents in Iraq.
On top of all this, Iran is working feverishly on nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
Oh, and there is one other thing about Iran which you should know: Iran dominates Shariah-Compliant Finance.

It has long been feared that all or a portion of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal could fall into the hands of Jihadist terrorists.
There are numerous scenarios in which this might happen, ranging from a raid by a terrorist group to capture a warhead to the government of Pakistan being overthrown by Jihadists in a coup d’etat, with the new Jihadist rulers gaining control over the country’s arsenal.
So far, fortunately, none of these scenarios has come close to happening, but there IS a report in the UK Telegraph that terrorists have in fact targeted some of Pakistan’s nuclear facilities…
