    Exposed: AGENDA21 -Sustainable Development

    Posted by admin on March 28th, 2010 and filed under smart growth neighborhood | 3 Comments »

    “Right now, in your town and neighborhood, policies are being implemented that will ultimately eliminate your freedoms and destroy your way of life. You need to know what’s going on to stop this process. Many town officials are selling us out to global regional development with help from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI): Local Governments for Sustainability. ICLEI is used as one of the mechanisms to undo the political recognition of unalienable rights.”

    Do not be sad

    Posted by admin on March 20th, 2010 and filed under smart growth history | 25 Comments »

    Do not be sad! When you smile the whole world smiles with you. The life is easy but we make it difficult.
    ****************************************

    Islam
    Islam (what it is?) – “Islam” means (surrender; submission; obedience; peace)
    Islam is a verb and a noun at the same time.
    The first meaning of “Islam” is the verb from the root “aslama” (a verb), meaning to: “surrender; submit; obey; sincerity and in peace.”
    The second meaning of “Islam” is the noun form from the same root, and it describes the last and final form of the way of life as perscribed by the Creator for His Creation. This is the name used in Quran for Muslims to call themselves as followers of “Islam”. This would make them “Islam-ers” in English, but of course in Arabic the prefix “mu” is added to denote the one preforming the action or verb and instead it becomes “mu”-”islam” or “Muslim.”
    “Islam” can be understood in a very general sense to be the true religion of God, as it is from Him and according to His commandments without adding to or taking away from the basic precepts.
    *************************
    Muhammad :
    You may be a Christian Protestant, Catholic, Jew, an atheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of many different religious denominations existing in today’s world. You might even be a communist or believe in man’s democracy as the rule on earth.
    Whoever you are and whatever ideological or political beliefs, social habits you may hold, there is no doubt -You Must Know This MAN – MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him).
    He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come.
    “HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD” May Peace of God Be Upon Him (peace be upon him)

    Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries, the life and teachings of Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) have survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolation. They offer the same undying hope for treating mankind’s many ills, which they did when he was alive. This is not a claim of Mohammed’s (Peace be upon Him) followers, but the inescapable conclusion forced upon by a critical and unbiased history.

    The least YOU can do as a thinking and concerned human being is to stop for a moment and ask your self: Could these statements sounding so extraordinary and revolutionary really be true? And supposing they really are true and you did not know this man MUHAMMAD (Peace be upon Him) or hear about him, isn’t it time you responded to this tremendous challenge and put in some effort to know him?

    We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, MUHAMMAD (Peace be upon Him), the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth.
