Surat al-Hijr: Verse 84
"So all that they earned was of no use to them."
"So all that they earned..." For instance, that can be in reference to the PKK. They settle in a place and get weapons. "... was of no use to them." In their own opinion they were saying, "Alright! We've established our own state. It is all done." Yet God says in Surat Al-Hijr verse 84 that He will destroy them.
Surat Al-Hijr: Verse 83
"But the Great Blast seized hold of them in the morning."
And now they are fleeing in terror, screaming.
These verses can be construed in reference to the defeat of the PKK.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (16 August 2014)
Surat An-Nur, Verse: 35
"God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The metaphor of His Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon Light. God guides to His Light whoever He wills and God makes metaphors for mankind and God has knowledge of all things."
"God is the Light of the heavens and the earth." God is the Light in the whole universe. Light; this is the most beautiful sight a human might could ever perceive. This is a heartwarming beauty, a relief stemming from faith. "The metaphor of His Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon Light. God guides to His Light whoever He wills and God makes metaphors for mankind and God has knowledge of all things." Muslims have such a light for instance. There is such a light in the mosques, in beautiful words, in beautiful attitudes there is such a light. That light cannot be described; it gives relief to the hearts, a light that reflects the beauty of faith. But this is not like the light we know. For instance there is such radiance, such a light in African people as well; a sort of pleasantness occurs in the face which inspires trustworthiness, a breeze of relief. There is such a light, such radiance all over Heaven. But unbelief lacks that radiance, they lack that light; God takes away their radiance. God gives that light to the Muslims. Muslims see that light; for instance, they recognize the light in the face of Muslims. They can also see the lack of light in the face of unbelief; they lack that radiance. That is why Muslims pray to God to attain that radiance. Our Prophet (saas) prayed, saying, "O Lord, make everything I have radiant; put light in my face, put light in my body, put light in my veins, make all my body radiant." That also is a very important request, an important prayer of Muslims to God; asking to be radiant.
Surat Al-Fath, Verse 29
Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and those who are with him are fierce to the unbelievers, merciful to one another. You see them bowing and prostrating, seeking God's good favor and His pleasure. Their mark is on their faces, the traces of prostration. That is their likeness in the Torah. And their likeness in the Injil is that of a seed which puts up a shoot and makes it strong so that it thickens and grows up straight upon its stalk, filling the sowers with delight — so that by them He may infuriate the unbelief. God has promised those of them who have faith and do right actions forgiveness and an immense reward.
"Their mark is on their faces, the traces of prostration." Some of the Salafis are misinterpreting this part. By putting their foreheads on dirty soil, here and there, or on dirty carpets, they callous their foreheads. Or they have fungi on their foreheads, a disease develops, an infection develops and then they say, "God has made a mark on my forehead, a trace of prostration." Actually what is meant by 'mark of prostration' is the light on the face of a Muslim. It is that impression on his face that gives relief to the hearts. That is not a scar on the forehead, not an infection.

Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 1
By Heaven with its Houses of the Zodiac,
God draws attention to the Houses of the Zodiac. They are going along with us wherever we go. They do not break out of their positions. They are the ornaments of the sky.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 2
and the Promised Day,
God says that there is Promised Day, there is the Last Day. Many scientists do not regard it possible; they will all understand that the Qur'an is the Truth, when what God said will be realized. What the Qur'an informs us of is the Truth. Actually, this is also the truth from the scientific aspect as well. It is the truth in many aspects.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 3
… and the witness and the witnessed,
We both see and we are being seen by God.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verses 4-5-6-7
… cursed be the Companions of the Pit —the fire well stocked with fuel —when they were seated right beside it witnessing what they did to the Muslims.
Witnessing what they did to the Muslims. That is a verse that directly refers to the End Times. People are watching what they did to the Muslims on the television right now as well. "...when they were seated right beside it (Pit)". Right beside what are they sitting next to right now? They are sitting right beside the television. And they are watching what they did to the Muslims. Some of them are being shot at with machine guns, some are having bombs thrown at them; all those children, babies, women, young girls.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 8
The only reason they punished them was because they had faith in God, the Almighty, the All-Praiseworthy
That is a wonder; that is a miracle of Almighty God; there is a rage in the hearts of people towards those who believe. For instance these people -people of this type- behave respectfully when they are talking to a person in disbelief and they talk to them in an appreciative tone. But when talking with a Muslim they feel a weird, evil anger inside. That is something astonishing. That is a miracle. Their attitude changes. For instance you can see that very frequently when you look out, if a person is in disbelief they treat him with the utmost respect- that can even be observed among Muslims as well. They treat those in disbelief much more respectfully. But when one is a Muslim, they do not take him seriously. But if he is a foreigner they venerate him; that is an evil instinct. That is an instinct one should seek refuge from in God. But of course that is something in favor of a Muslim: It is crucial in respect of raising his rank in the Sight of God. A Muslim's rank would not be raised out of the blue.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 9
Him to whom the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. God is Witness of all things.
To Whom the Kingdom of heavens and the earth belong? To God. We ask the man. And he says, "Mine!" God says they belong to Him. "God is Witness of all things." What does this mean? He listens to our conversation right now as well. When one does something somewhere, God sees that as well. When one walks about in the streets, He sees him too. For instance this conversation of ours is known by God from the beginning till the end; even before we were born from our mother, what we will be talking here is known in our destiny.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 9
Those who persecute men and women of the Muslims, and then do not repent, will have the punishment of Hell, will have the punishment of the Burning.
Right now, Muslim men and Muslim women are being tortured throughout the world. There is a large scale persecution going on.
Surat Al-Buruj; Verse 11
But those who have faith and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. That is the Great Victory.
But those who have faith and do right actions... One should have faith but he should also be sincere. He should do sincere right actions, do sincere religious services. "But those who have faith and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. That is the Great Victory." Heaven is very explicitly described in the Qur'an. In the Torah, for instance, is not described as explicitly as it is described in the Qur'an. Thanks be to God, Almighty God explained Heaven in great details in the Qur'an; the pots and pans, the food, the view, everything has been described in great details. Hell has been described in great detail as well.
Islam is a very clear religion, thanks be to God. For instance, Hell can be seen in the Torah only when carefully studied; Heaven can only be seen when carefully studied; the life after death can only be seen when studied carefully in the Torah. But these concepts are very clearly explained in the Qur'an. The Qur'an is a very pleasant, a very refreshing Book in this respect as well. Masha'Allah, Alhamdulillah.
Surat Al-Baqarah; Verse 13
When they are told, ´Have faith in the way that the people have faith,´ they say, ´What! Are we to have faith in the way that fools have faith?´ No indeed! They are the fools, but they do not know it.
This actually is a grave dissension, a grave trouble. Even Muslims do that sometimes to other Muslims. One should strictly avoid doing that. For instance they admire Americans. You should see them around a European for instance, they admire them and that can be seen from all their attitudes, from the way they talk. Or for instance if they come across someone who mocks religion - I see that in many religious people - they feel greater respect. They behave much more carefully and much more respectfully when with them. But some of them can behave very reckless and unlabored towards Muslims. Actually they should behave much more lovingly and respectfully towards Muslims. You simply feel compassion for those who are in disbelief with the aim of saving them. Satan makes that easier for people. That is actually something very much in favor of Muslims. That allows Muslims to constantly gain good deeds. Every moment, ever hour they gain good deeds doing nothing out of the blue.
Surat An-Nisa; Verse 139
Do those who take the disbelievers as protectors, rather than the Muslims, hope to find power and strength with them? Power and strength belong entirely to God.
Look here this verse shows that perfectly. They think that such people are honorable and the power and strength they attribute to them lies beneath their admiration towards them. I mean they think that they are honorable. What does seeing them as honorable and hoping to find power and strength with them mean? That means they respect them, they value them and hold them in awe, hold them in high esteem and heed their words and pay attention to their attitudes. They consider them to be honorable. They imagine that Muslims are weak. They imagine that Muslims are dreamers. They say, "They perform their religious observances, they are dreamers and they believe in Heaven and Hell." But they consider the others to be realistic, those others in disbelief, and because they see them as strong and powerful, their admiration grows in that respect as well. But they do not consider Muslims to be strong. "There is disbelief standing against Muslims, they can do anything any moment, they can crush them, they can disband them. They have no power," they say. "They believe in the Hereafter. They believe in the Unseen. Disbelievers on the other hand believe in tangible things. They are interconnected with each other," these people think. They find the disbelievers to be more reasonable. Subconsciously, they feel deep respect for them. As these people do that, Muslims gain good deeds while those others sin by doing this. They sin as they do this. That lack of abundance, that filth fills their heart and soul. Actually they should have look for power and honor in the Truth.
Surat Al-Munafiqun; Verse 8
They say, ´If we return to Medina, the mightier will drive out the inferior.´ But all might belongs to God and to His Messenger and Muslims. But the hypocrites do not know this.
They say; " If we return to Medina, the mightier will drive out the inferior." See, they are obsessed with the unbelievers. They believe that Muslims are inferior. They believe that they are not honorable. But in the minds of hypocrites, of sick people, there is a tendency to believe that "unbelievers are always strong." That is why hypocrites sooner or later go join unbelievers. They can never be freed from that unbelieving mindset. They subconsciously believe that " honor is always with the unbelievers, they are to be respected, they are strong and powerful. Consequently Muslims do not have power or honor." This is what lies in their subconscious. That is why they only hang on to Muslims by their eyelids. They are always tense and uneasy, because they do not see them strong enough, that sets in their hearts as an instinctive perversion. But in their minds, hypocrites pine for gaining power and honor in disbelief. Yet when they go join them, their profanity burns them out and devastates them. They dive into that profanity as they burn, and they burn even stronger as they dive deeper into profanity. That constitutes a system that constantly competes with itself and it swallows them and devastates them until they end up in the middle of hell.
But all might belongs to God and to His Messenger and Muslims. It is actually Muslims that they should look for to find honor; they are the ones that should be respected and held in high esteem, not the disbelievers.
Surat At-Taubah; Verse 50
If good happens to you it galls them. If a mishap occurs to you, they say, ´We made our preparations in advance,´ and they turn away rejoicing.
Hypocrites assume that remaining aloof from Muslims is a wise move. And because they always are determined to keep away from them, they live in that spirit, constantly standing up to Muslims, constantly rebuffing and acting obstinately towards Muslims. They never bend towards Muslims. That is because they always assume that power is outside the circle of Muslims. Yet if they could even see a part of their strength, they would start admiring them. That is why our Prophet (saas) always showed strength to them and then the hypocrites came to heel; that is the characteristic of Muslims. Almighty God tells Muslims to show their impeccable strength. He tells them to appear strong and powerful, and not to appear in weakness and frailty. When unbelievers see weakness, they become fierce; that is also what Bediuzzaman says. Bediuzzaman says, "Even animals get aggressive when they see weakness, so you should always show them that you are powerful."
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (4 August 2014)
Love is something tasty, it is a perpetual sustenance. It is naturally refreshed. A Muslim would not work for it. He feels love when he sees a beautiful glance, a gaze that is on the side of God, when he sees radiance. But if he sees darkness on one's face, an evil darkness a lovelessness and a lack of radiance on one's face, he cannot inject his love. He cannot receive love either. I mean he would be temporary locked down; I mean, even if he says that he feels love, it would be mere words. There would be a lock down. All he has is his intention to love left behind. I mean he would not be able to actually live that love in that specific moment.
A loving gaze is obvious. When you look at someone, you take that light from those eyes; that is how God creates. A loving person would instantly be recognized from their eyes and if that love is neutral, that would be understood as well. God created eyes like a computer. Eyes are like computer screens. You would read whatever you like from them. Whether or not one feels love, whether or not one is lying, whether or not one has good or bad intentions, whether one has a fervor and to what extend one feels passion, you would understand all those from one's eyes.
EXPLANATIONS BY Mr. ADNAN OKTAR REGARDING THE PROPHET JESUS (PBUH)
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will probably descend to a house, to a Christian house I mean. "He will come among a Christian community reminiscent of Islam, one that doesn't believe in superstitions," says the hadiths. The words "...he will come like a burglar," explains the whole issue anyway. He will be left there at night time while he is asleep, in a state of sleep. When that person wakes up in the morning, he will come face to face to a person and will think that he is a burglar. He will ask, "Who are you?" He will respond in Aramaic but the owner of the house will understand that he is not a burglar from the innocent, decent expression on his face. His clothes are not that of a burglar's. His clothes would be those he wore 2,000 years ago. His clothes will be the same. They will understand that he is an extraordinary person from his honest and decent appearance. They will try to understand him, of course they will look at him and try to help him. They will not inform the police. If they were to inform the police it would create a great fuss. That is because the police would find it weird. He has no parents and they could offend him, they could upset him. That is why they will not inform the police. They would never put Jesus Messiah in contact with the police. He will live a life as a person who keeps away from the police. That is because he has no legal identity. He will have an identity card given merely as a formality and that would pose a risk as well. He would have been arrested in every country he would go to, may God forbid, if he is noticed. That is because his passport will be invalid. He will not have a father's name or a mother's name written in. "Who are you?" they will ask. And he will say "I have no country". That would be totally unbelievable for these people and it would never ever occur to them that he is the Jesus Messiah. That is why they will constantly hide him until the Mahdi (pbuh) ensures general security in the world and the time comes for him to appear safely. Until the time when the police can no longer interfere comes. Then he will be free to walk about as he likes. But now he would be arrested wherever he goes normally, as they would not know him.
Bediuzzaman says that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will appear in a ready religious community. He will appear among a Christian community reminiscent of Islam. That is because his "elect scholars, distinguished spirituals and his close followers "his elect and distinguished followers will recognize him through the light of faith," Bediuzzaman says. That means that they will say; "He is –God knows the truth- Jesus (pbuh)." The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will also carry a good opinion of himself, thinking "Probably I am Jesus". Those people around him will say, "Probably this is Jesus (pbuh). We will not be obliged to believe that he is. But we are obliged to carry good opinions about him I mean we are obliged to evaluate the situation with good conscience. But we will not be obliged to believe in it as we believe in the Qur'an. We will believe so with our prevailing opinion. However, having such a prevailing opinion is also an important act of worship, it also is something that we will be asked about. God might say, "Why did you plead ignorance even though you've understood, even though your good conscious has accepted him?" That is because it means that person has no light of faith. But he will not be bringing a new command when he appears. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will not remember his past. That would have removed the free will of his mind. People assume that something that would remove the free will of the mind would take place; that would never happen. Actually they are explaining everything in a way that would remove the free will of the mind in the Christian creed but that would never happen. For instance it is said the Jesus Messiah (pbuh) will distribute bread and fish to 5,000 or 50,000 people, three to five fish and a very small piece of bread. That would remove the free-will of the mind. But that might happen; there might be bread and it might be distributed to people and people would really be full with that. That also happens at our homes as well. For instance, one cooks a meal and it would be very plenteous, everyone eats from it but you still do not run out of it so it makes everyone surprised. It wouldn't happen like that, in a way to remove the free will of the mind. That is because it would be unjust for other people. That is because the others will believe by making use of their free minds and evidence. But those ones would be clearly seeing a miracle. Believing after seeing a miracle is easier; consequently, they would be more privileged. That is not going to happen. God gives everyone equal rights. When the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) first appears of course he will be surprised; he would say, "Where am I, who am I?" He is being tested. He will be tried with pain as well. He will have difficulties as well. I mean it would be unjust otherwise and God is Just. For instance he will get married when he appears. He will have children. He will take care of them. He will have headaches, he will have toothaches, he is human like us. When he appears he will be speaking Aramaic but he will learn all other languages afterwards. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is very intelligent; that is valid for all prophets. For instance he reads a verse of the Qur'an, a Prophet would instantly memorize it. Normally it would be very difficult for a person to memorize it even if he reads it numerous times. Memorizing the verses of the Qur'an is difficult. He, on the other hand, will know both the Gospel and the whole Torah- and the real Torah will mostly be consisting of the verses of the Qur'an- by heart thoroughly. He knows the Qur'an by heart as well and he will have no difficulty memorizing it. I mean when he looks at a page of the Qur'an and when he reads it once, he will memorize it perfectly. But only by looking at it once, only once; this for instance is a miracle. That is something Bediuzzaman has as well. I mean this is something that might be seen. I mean such students are educated in special classes, they have special schools. They look at a page, read it once and the whole page sticks in their minds. Bediuzzaman says this, he says this by taking an oath, "I was reading it once and I memorized the whole page," he says. Well, actually there was no need for him to take an oath about it as his students already saw him do that. The Treatise of Light for instance, many of his students know the Treatise of Light by heart. Brother Sungur for instance used to read it by heart. I mean he knew the whole Treatise of Light by heart. For instance when someone said something, he would instantly correct it saying, "That was not like that, it is in this page." Actually the Treatise of Light is five thousand pages. How could one memorize five thousand pages? There is something extraordinary in this.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (1 August 2014)
The djinn are also subjects to the prophets of humans. In the Qur'an, God tells us that our Prophet (saas) is a prophet for humans and for djinn. Djinn were subjects to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) as well; they were subject to the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) too. The djinn were subject to all the Prophets. They say, "A new Book came after the Prophet Moses' Book. There are very beautiful words in it." They listen to the Book and go tell it to their tribe. Djinn are listening here as well. Djinn will also be subject to Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be just like the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), just like the Prophet Dhul'Qarnayn (pbuh); of course, djinn will be subject to him as well. The appearances of Muslim djinn are beautiful. The unbeliever djinn are for hell. In hell, djinn and humans will be in the same dimension. I mean -for a Muslim djinni- you would never understand the difference. There are many djinn wandering about in the streets and we are not even aware of them but when they are summoned they generally have fun with people and talk in a vain manner. Many of them tell lies and are not honest; djinn are very rarely honest. However, when they are asked about an important question in an important time, by taking refuge in God, they do give true and proper answers.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (28 July 2014)
That incident actually happened in a way that would not take away free will. They really were on a ship, they really cast lots and he is really thrown overboard. Being swallowed by fish was not something unheard of; there are similar incidents in history. As a matter of fact there is a person who'd been swallowed by a fish and then spewed out after a while, and because of the stomach secretions white marks have been formed on his skin. A skin defect has developed because he remained at there for a long while. This is not something that never happened before and this would not remove freewill. The fish actually swallowed him and it actually threw him to the shore. As far as I understand, when the fish swallowed him, it went towards the shore for its life. It is not that the fish could digest him because he was a well-built prophet. But of course these all happened according to the Will of God, or else had Almighty God willed so, he would have died there and then. So the fish spewed him out by the shore but he was left there naked. It is understood that because he had the stomach secretions of the fish all over his clothes, he had to throw those clothes away. As I understand it, he washed himself with sea water. He was left there by the sea all naked and covered himself with leaves he found there. Of course, this is a very traumatic incident which would make him think seriously. This is a city in which more than 100,000 people lived. And he was sent there as the Messenger of God and he left them just because they did not accept him. Almighty God compelled him to go back there, so he went back to the city he deserted and performed his duties as a prophet: God has thus shown us the importance of being steadfast and patient. God compelled him to do his tasks.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (27 July 2014)
Martyrs are subjected to trials as well but theirs is a protected trial. I mean they are being tested in the ordinary course of things in a way that they will constantly acquire merits. They know that they are protected and watched over. They are in happiness. They are aware that they will be going to Heaven. They are in a protected structure, in which they are specifically watched over but which seems to be a trial. I mean theirs is nothing like the system in the world. There are many difficulties, pains in the world but in their system those do not exist. Everything is positive, everything is for the better. For instance, within this system they help their brothers and treat them with beautiful blessings and say beautiful things to them, talk about God. I mean theirs is an easy system but of course they are not aware of that; they do not know that they are dead. They imagine themselves to be alive and taken to a different dimension of life.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (21 July 2014)
In relation to this mob that will appear in Syria and Iraq, our Prophet (saas) said, "They will also found a state." Indeed, they founded a state. "They are the companions of the state. They will be called by their nicknames." For instance, the man is called Abu Turab, and he really does not use this name at birth. The name of the leader of ISIS who announced on Twitter that they will demolish the Kaa'ba is Abu Turab.
In reference to ISIS our Prophet (saas) says, "their hair will be overhanging like that of women." I mean he says that their hair will be scrappy and straggly. Indeed that is the case for all the ISIS crew. Actually not one, two, three or four but there are numerous hadiths that perfectly describe them.
Now one steps up and objects, saying, "But these are terrorists." Actually there will be terrorists all around the world at that time. I mean the world will be shaken up with terror, the antichrist will prevail. Those who say, "I am a Muslim," will engage in terror and those who say, "I am not going to be a Muslim" will engage in terror as well. Of course there will be those who will keep away from terror but terror would shake the whole world. Consequently as stated in the hadiths there will of course be terorrists in this crew but of course our Prophet (saas) speaks in Arabic. He says, "There will be violence, blood will be shed, people will be killed, ten thousands of people will be killed." What is that? Is that not terror? He says, "But in the end, they will abide by the Mahdi(pbuh)." That is very important.
For instance; "THEY WILL ACT SWIFTLY," says our Prophet (saas). (Ghaybat-e- Nomani p.327) Our Prophet (saas) says, "They will get hold of Kuga and Basra in a single night..." (Kitab al-Haft al-Sherif, p.174) That is also true, they truely are acting swiftly."The cities they enter will literally be presented to to them," says our Prophet (saas).
"When that is not given to them they will win a victory and WHAT THEY WANT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THEM," says our Prophet (saas) (Majlisi, Biharul Anwar, v.51, p.87). People are presenting their cities instantly and they are instantly accepting them.
"His (the commander of the ones with black flags) soldiers will have long hair and moustaches, their clothes will be black and they are the men of black flags." (Ghaibat-e-Nomani, p.303) That is quite clear is it not?
"They will kill them (who oppose them) in masses without making any distinctions." (Ghaibat-e-Nomani, p.303) That is what terror is anyway.
"The ones with black flags will come down to Kufa... " (Hadiths from the classification of Jalal al-din al-Suyuti, p.61, Hadith No: 7.12) This is from the works of Jalal al-din al-Suyuti and they have already came down to Kufa.
"There will be a great war. In the end the ones with black banners will be victorious. Sufyan will escape with his forces." So Al-Assad escapes with his forces. "Right at that time, people will wish for and look for the Mahdi." (Hadiths from the classification of Jalal al-din al-Suyuti, p.61. Hadith No: 7.26) That means people will not be pleased with these men.
"...and they PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE MAHDI " says our Prophet (saas). This is from Imam Suyuti's works. "They will pledge to the Mahdi from my Ahl al-Bayt (from my descend)... (Majlisi, Biharul Anwar, v.51, p.87)
Hazrat Ali (ra) relates; "When you see the ones with the black flags, stick to the land you are on." Do not leave. " Do not move your hands and your feet." Do not fight with these men, do not resist. What is it that we keep telling them? The exact same.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (10 July 2014)
Surat al-Munafiqun; Verse 1
When the hypocrites come to you they say; "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of God." God knows that you are indeed His Messenger and God bears witness that the hypocrites are certainly liars.
The hypocrites nurse an atrocious grudge against our Prophet (saas). They are very much irritated by his joy, his love for ladies and his constant, amazing love for God. However, those hypocrites of the Dirar masjid develop an evil course. They said, "We are troubled with some of the Muslims. That is because they are not good people, they are after their own pleasure, they are after women. We do love the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) a lot, he is a very beautiful, good person but these others very much dote on women."
Actually they all hate our Prophet (saas). God says in the Qur'an, I seek refuge with God from the satan, "Your companion (your Prophet (saas)) is not misguided or deluded." This is what the hypocrites say among themselves; they say "he is misguided and deluded," may God forbid. They keep saying, "How could this happen?" They say, "We abide by the Book of God, Alhamdulillah, we are Muslims." Our Prophet (saas) brought the Qur'an. God trusts him and these people do not trust the Messenger of God. They say, "I abide by the Qur'an." But look they say, "I am a very pious person. See that I keep away from women." They did not bring any women into the Dirar masjid. But women used to come to the masjid of our Prophet (saas), they used to perform their prayers altogether. The hypocrites said, "The pious ones should be coming here to our masjid." God said, "Destroy that masjid of the hypocrites!" And the companions turned that mosque into a flat land. They were playing games, they were treacherous. The fact of the matter was that they were very much troubled by our Prophet (saas). They were jealous of his strength, his joy, his faith, his love for women. That is because God made them burn inside out, these are loveless people full of hatred. They really go and prostrate for an hour, maybe, but there is no woman in their lives, no love. They are cold and rampant. They are calling everyone to that masjid they built saying that they are pious. They keep saying, "What is the harm in having more than one masjid?" They say, "There is a masjid there and we have a masjid here. There is only one Qur'an and we have the Qur'an here as well. We are abiding by the Prophet (saas) as well and we have nothing to say against him, but the pious people among us are not there in that masjid of theirs. We have the pious ones here." This is how hypocrites operate. They are full of rage against the Prophet (saas) but they conceal their rage. They are hateful but they conceal their hatred. Hypocrites do not like the Qur'an at all, but act as if they do. The Qur'an scorches the soul of the hypocrite; they hate the Qur'an, may God forbid. They cannot even stand to see the Qur'an. When the Qur'an is recited it burns them inside out as stated in the verses. They look for a place to hide when the Qur'an is recited. God says, "When you mention your Lord alone in the Qur´an, they turn their backs and run away." But when they hear idle talk, they approach you; this is the characteristic of hypocrites. That is why hypocrites play mind-games in their own minds. They approach everything with plain logic and try to present themselves as pious and superior. They try to present themselves as superior in every aspect. They try and present Muslims as inferior, worse than themselves in every aspect. Hypocrites have an inferiority complex. They are determined to present themselves as superior against the Muslims. That is why they say, "We do not let women in our masjid." In their minds, this is a way of acting superior. Actually this is because of their hypocritical soul. For instance they say, "We are not joking." The way our Prophet (saas), the way Hazrat Ali (ra) makes jokes disturbed the hypocrites a lot. They used to say, "We are serious people. When we smile, we only smile in a way that our teeth could barely be seen." Actually Muslims laugh in joy, they have a merry, joyous laughter. They have a saying: "Laughing kills the heart." That is a remnant from those times. It is not a saying of our Prophet (saas). The misogyny they've been instilling is also a remnant of those days. For instance the hypocrites say that one should do the exact opposite of what a woman says. They say, "Consult them and then do the exact opposite of what they say." This was a characteristic of the idolaters of Mecca, a characteristic of the hypocrites. For instance the belief that women will be filling hell was actually a belief among the hypocrites of that time. They hated women. At that time they presented their own ideas as if they belonged our Prophet (saas). They have spread those words as if they were said by our Prophet (saas). And they even martyred genuine Muslims. For instance they martyred the grandchildren of our Prophet (saas); Hazrat Hasan (ra) and Hazrat Husain (ra). They have martyred that blessed Ahl Al-bayt in Karbala because they were the ones implementing the Qur'an as is due. They were laughing, they were joyous, they loved women. They lived together with women. But that was very harsh to the idolaters of Mecca. Those idolaters hated women. They thought of themselves as superiors because they have had such a superiority feeling they said, "We are superior from this tribe, we are superior from that tribe." Almighty God says- I seek refuge in God from the satan- "...their fanatical rage of Time of Ignorance dragged them till their visit to the graves." The killers of those times were saying, "We are superior to every other nation." As you know they have martyred Hazrat Uthman (ra), they have martyred Hazrat Hasan (ra), Hazrat Husain (ra), they have martyred the Ahl al-bayt. Those blessed ones have never forgotten those pains, they have never forgotten the persecution those hypocrites inflicted upon them.
Those hypocrites used to invite our Prophet (saas) to the masjid they'd built. They said "Please do come by from time to time Master. You can visit us here. The most pious ones are among us." They were hiding in that isolated places, talking in secret. They were making evil plans. That is why God says, "There is no good in much of their secret talk…"
Hypocrites make plans in secluded places. They get in touch with the satan and go into a trance. That is why hypocrites always prefer to be alone. They always want to be alone, they always want to be on their own. They do not want that trance with satan to be disrupted. They go into a trance with satan and receive information from him. Satan says, "Do this, do that, do this evil act, do that immoral act and create dissension" to them and advise them when they are alone. Because the Name of God is recited when they are around Muslims, their concentration is disrupted.
That is why the hypocrites cannot stand to hear the Qur'an recited. They feel suffocated, they feel overwhelmed. They feel suffocated by Muslims as well. That is because the radiance in the face of Muslims overwhelms them. Their existence makes them remember God and they feel disturbed.
Eventually satan drags them into the Hell. There, satan says, "I only invited you. I am afraid of God." See that he still has the same mentality there. He says, "I have accepted being in Hell but I am afraid of God. I only called you and you followed me because you are without character."
Surah Al-Imran; Verse 120
If something good happens to you, it galls them. If something bad strikes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are steadfast and have taqwa, their scheming will not harm you in any way. God encompasses what they do.
Referring to the hypocrites Almighty God says "If something good happens to you, it galls them." When you have fun, when you laugh, when you are joyous, when you are healthy and sound, it galls them, it pains them, says God. "If something bad strikes you, they rejoice at it." For instance they attempt to publish reports against you , they attempt to say things against you. Or they rejoice when they hear such things, thinking that it is something bad striking you. "But if you are steadfast and have piety." God tells us to be steadfast. He says, "I am creating them to serve a purpose." I mean God says, "All the acts of hypocrites are under My control." Hypocrites cannot do anything self-directed. For instance God makes them build the Dirar masjid. God is the One Who creates the hypocrites. They are created for Muslims to attain merits. "If you are steadfast and have piety…" First of all a Muslim is to be steadfast: How can one be steadfast? You submit to God's Will. And you say, "These are created by God. He creates all these for a purpose." Then you will be careful about what is lawful and what is unlawful by religion.
"...their scheming…" that is because they make intricate, evil schemes. Because satan helps them do that, that evil electricity can instantly be noticed on their faces, that evil style they have can easily be seen.
About the hypocrites God says; "… you could know them by their marks, and recognize them from the way they twist their words." Hypocrites talk nonsense. They do not want to talk about God; this is the characteristic of hypocrites. They burn inside when they talk about God. They always try and talk by giving examples. I mean they give examples from other people, they give examples from their environment. They always talk with examples. This is the main characteristic of hypocrites. There is an anomaly in the gaze of hypocrites; I mean they try to veil their hatred. That is why the gaze of a hypocrite becomes dull. But even if they try to conceal, it can easily be understood. Almighty God says; "If We wished, We would show them to you " Our Prophet (saas) used to recognize them by the leave of God. "…and you can recognize them from the way they twist their words," says Almighty God. They speak nonsense. They talk nonsense without saying anything about God.
"God encompasses what they do." What does this mean? God says, "I know all they do. I am the One Who makes them do those things. Therefore do not be anxious, do not be worried. They cannot do anything out of My Will," God says. That is because Muslims are very much revolted by hypocrites, and might feel anxious from time to time thinking that they could act on their own. That is why God says, "Hypocrites cannot do anything out of My control. They can only act within the limits I have defined for them in destiny."
God gives a certain amount of time for hypocrites. For instance they might appear to be healthy, but God says, "I am dragging them into troubles step by step." Each year, each month drags them even closer to the scourges.
Surat at-Taubah: Verse 74
They swear by God that they said nothing, but they definitely spoke the word of unbelief and returned to unbelief after their Islam. They planned something which they did not achieve and they were vindictive for no other reason than that God and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty. If they were to repent, it would be better for them. But if they turn away, God will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Next World, and they will not find any protector or helper on the earth.
"They swear by God that they said nothing." Hypocrites constantly speak the word of unbelief, they employ the style of unbelief in their speeches. They imagine that it is not detected and that is why they swear a lot. "… but they definitely spoke the world of unbelief." Meaning they either contradict the prophet, or deny his being their imam. I mean hypocrites are disobedient, impudent and insolent. "… and returned to unbelief after their Islam." They return to unbelief in secret but they still present themselves as Muslims. "They planned something which they did not achieve." Because they have an inferiority complex, hypocrites constantly desire to present themselves as superior. They always want to show themselves as superiors but they can never achieve that, they are constantly humiliated. God always disgraces them. "…and they were vindictive for no other reason than that God and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty." Hypocrites are always vindictive. They either try to take revenge with their words or with their eyes. Or they try to disturb Muslims with their immoral acts or they try and make them uneasy or try and get them in trouble. But they do all these under the guise of a Muslim.
"… they were vindictive for no other reason than that God and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty." So they are eating,drinking and then wildly running around. The Prophet(saas) gives them means, do them favors. But they become even more rampant as they eat and drink. "If they were to repent, it would be better for them." Almighty God says that the door to repentance is open for them. " But if they turn away,.." if they are stubborn…"God will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Next World." God says that He will give them pain, illness and scourges in this world as well. "… and they will not find any protector or helper on the earth." God says that they will always be left alone and they will always get their just desserts.
Surat Al-Imran; Verse 119
There you are, loving them when they do not love you, even though you have faith in all the Books. When they meet you, they say, ´We have faith.´ But when they leave they bite their fingers out of rage against you. Say, ´Die in your rage.´ God knows what your hearts contain.
"… they bite their fingers out of rage against you."
That shows the pain they feel because of their rage. It eats their hearts out. Their hatred pours out of their eyes. They have such a filthy electricity about them. They want to conceal their hatred but they fail to do so.
Surat al-Mumtahinah; Verse 2
"If they come upon you, they will be your enemies and stretch out their hands and tongues against you with evil intent, and they would dearly love you to become unbelievers."
"If they come upon you, they will be your enemies." Therefore they have leave. The greatest ideal of a hypocrite is to pull away from a Muslim, to revolt as soon as possible. That is because they need to take up a position. That is to say, to strike from a distance; but of course while doing so, they would not strike their first blow in a way that Muslims would understand. They try to do that in a way they wouldn't understand. And they have a tendency to depart by presenting themselves as Muslims. As God states in the verses of the Qur'an, they say, "Alhamdulillah, we are Muslims. "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of God." And God says that they are lying. He says that they do not believe in that. He says, "They do not believe that you are the Imam". God says that they are treacherous and without conscience. "… They will be your enemies and stretch out their hands and tongues against you with evil intent." They try and do evil with their hands if they can do that. Meaning they want to do harm like killing, injuring or do any kind of evil with their hands but if they cannot do anything with their hands, then they stretch out their tongues. What do they do then? They try and stretch out their tongues over here and there, over the radio, television, over the internet, wherever they can reach you. Or they try and hurt you with gossip, with their tongues, says God.
"… and they would dearly love you to become unbelievers."
They say, "If only they could become unbelievers like me." They want to turn Muslims to their way. That is why they want to drag them into their faulty logic, gradually, with their filthy philosophy. And because Muslims see that and feel annoyed by that filth, they keep their distance. And when they keep their distance, hypocrites become even lonelier. They become even more rampant. God says male and female idolaters, male and female hypocrites are from one another. They constantly seek out each other. A hypocrite would be determined to go to other hypocrites; they attract him like a magnet. Hypocrites burn inside when they are with Muslims. They feel a strong instinctive urge to go to other hypocrites. When they go by their side, they take up a position there and that place becomes their hell. They start following Muslims from that position. They plan their schemes, they plan the immoral acts they will do.
And when they leave, they say that they are doing so in the Name of God. For instance the hypocrites of the Dirar masjid say, "We did not leave you. That is a misunderstanding. It is not true. We are Muslims, Alhamdulillah. Our masjid is only a few hundred meters away. This is the masjid of our Prophet (saas) and ours is a few hundred meters away. It is not true that we have left, we are altogether anyway. We will always see each other, we will always be together. But we just feel disturbed by the acts of some Muslims here". They say, "They are laughing a lot, they like women. We are not like that. I am a superior person. I like being superior." Actually they have a severe inferiority complex.
Our Prophet (saas) is very handsome and they take offense at that. The hypocrites of the Dirar masjid are very ugly. They all are very filthy. They are all ugly people, scoundrels. Our Prophet (saas) became exuberant when revelation came ordering him to destroy the mosque. The companions went there with their digging tools. They razed the building to the ground. Those hypocrites ornamented that masjid and made it very comfortable to make Muslims go there, to make them jealous. Our Prophet(saas) turned it into a flat land and that was a great response to the hypocrites of that time.
Hypocrites always say that. They always say, "We do not want to leave, do not misunderstand us." When something happens, they even say, "Are we not with you anyway? We are together. There is no such thing as being away. We've just kept our distance for a while, that is all. And that was to help you. I mean we've just formed another masjid to facilitate your efforts, in order not to cause any more difficulty for you. Actually we are together, it is not true that we left."
You insolent person you, you are presenting our Prophet (saas) with a fait accompli! Did the Prophet (saas) tell you to go establish that masjid? You are being a scoundrel. You are attempting to give your piece of mind to the Prophet (saas). Who are you to do that?
When they are asked why they are not striving in the Path of God. They say, "It is too hot out there." They say, "As you see, we would become ill if we go out in this heat. Our homes are out in the open, do you expect us to ruin our families and our children? What are we supposed to do in this heat?" Actually they would have done it if they have had personal gain in that. For instance Almighty God says, –I seek refuge in God from the satan- "If it had been a case of easy gains and a short journey, they would have followed you, but the distance was too great for them." They find the distance too great for them because they do not believe that they will attain any results. They do not believe that they will be given a victory. They say, "We've been deceived by the Prophet(saas)" may God forbid. They say, "We've played around in vain, we've spent our youth here and our lives are ruined." And God gives that as a scourge upon them. Almighty God makes all their efforts and all that they've done come to nothing.
God says, "They are all alike." Male and female hypocrites, male and female idolaters. They have a weird connection between them. For instance hypocrites would not go and side with the idolaters. They instinctively go and side with hypocrites. I mean that is an animalistic instinct. As a Wisdom of God. Actually they should go and directly be with unbelievers. But they don't, they go and side with other hypocrites. They would not go by anyone. For instance when you leave an idolater alone, he wouldn't go side with hypocrites. They go and side with male and female idolaters. Of course, they are another type of menace anyway.
"God casts down filth on them." That is an evil filth. They actually stink and they are very vulgar. Their mouths stink, their backs stink, their faces stink. Everything about them is filthy. Their houses are filthy, they are tasteless. Their females are very rampant. Their males are very envious and very jealous. Their entire system is built on hatred.
New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (23 June 2014)
Our Prophet (saas) says, "There will be an incident in Kirkuk about which those that could be saved from it would talk about…" These are all great details. As you know, ISIS has made a move towards Kirkuk now.
"An incident will take place near Nusaybin (A city in Mardin province)," says our Prophet (saas). These are the incidents caused by the PKK terror organization.
He says, "Incidents will take place in Şırnak."
He says, "If a woman would want to go to Damascus from Iraq on foot each of her steps will be on beautiful green grass. And she will be able to show her ornaments, her jewelries. And no one will ever attempt to steal them, to grate or disturb her." So our Prophet (saas) says that women will be able to go there with their ornaments, that they will be able to go there all dressed up. This is from a seven hundred year old book.
"The Emir of Muslims Imam Ali (pbuh) decreed; "If our Qaim (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)) stands the skies grant the rainfall and the earth makes the plants green. Hatred and animosity will be wiped off from the hearts of the servants and even wild and domestic animals do not feel afraid from one another." (Bihar'ul Anwar; V.52, p.316) Right now Muslims are hanging and chopping one another up, they are attacking Christians. These will all come to an end.
"… the one conquering the cities of idolaters is one from the Children of Israel." (Ali b. Sultan Muhammad Al-Qari al-Hanafi "Risaletul Meshreb elverdi fi Mezhebil Mahdi.") He (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)) will spiritually conquer the cities in which radicals, fanatics are influential.
Our Prophet (saas) calls the Mahdi (pbuh) "The one among my sons…" This is the victory of the son of our Prophet (saas). If a father sends a son to a place and has a job done, would that not be the victory of that father anyway? This victory will be the victory of our Prophet (saas). In the Qur'an, Almighty God says, "Truly We have given you the Great Abundance. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. It is the one who hates you who is cut off without an heir." (Surat al-Kauthar: 1-3)
Surat al-Ahzab; Verse 21
"You have an excellent model in the Messenger of God, for all who put their hope in God and the Last Day and remember God much."
The Messenger of God (saas) was putting the Qur'an into practice perfectly. If one asks, "How could I put the Qur'an into practice in my life?" That is it; you will do exactly as what our Prophet (saas) did. He presented an amazing easiness for the Muslims with the way he put the Qur'an into practice in his life. It is an art to put the Qur'an into practice in life. A wise person would understand and implement the Qur'an perfectly in his life. For instance, how should one have humility? How should one be freed from the feeling of superiority? How should one live love? For instance, these traditional hodjas claim that our Prophet (saas) is a very loving person. How about you? You do not utter a single word about love. Only when the subject matter is put up for discussion, only when the word is mentioned in an article do they utter the word, or else they never even pronounce it. And a vast majority of them are Darwinists and materialists. They are Muslims but also Darwinists and theologians; how does that happen? What would one be saying, what does the Darwinist way of thinking demand? It says, may God forbid, "God did not create" and then he starts making explanations about religion. And then he steps up and says "I am against the system of the Mahdi as well." Well, if you are a Darwinist you will of course be against the system of the Mahdi. First and foremost you claim that "God did not create the universe," and that closes the whole subject anyway. Once you say "God did not create the universe," how could it be possible for you to believe in the Mahdi (pbuh) anyway?

Unplugged the dishwasher and pulled it out. Tipped it down on its side. Removed the old and replaced the new. Re-installed and replugged it. Ran a test. Checked for leaks.
pulled DW out from under counter. drained water from unit. laid DW on its side. removed 5 screws from unit 2 to remove drain motor and three to remove bracket. used adj pliers to remove spring clamp and screwdriver to remove other clamp. to install i did the reverse
- Shut off the electricity and water to the unit- Pull the unit out, tip it on its side. Pump is easily accessable on the bottom.- Undo the inlet & outlet hose clamps, two screws, and two wire connectors. (Pay attention to which way they went on.)- Put the new pump in the same way and reconnect everything.- Tip the unit back up and push it into the counter, making sure not to kink the hoses or anything.- That's it. New pump is quiet, and no more smell!
Unhooked the dishwasher and took it out. Laid the dishwasher on it's back. Located the drain pump and took it off. Put the new one in it's place. Hooked the dishwasher back up and tried it out. Everything sounded and ran good. Easy assembly. Took 30-40 minutes if that.
First I pulled out the dishwasher for easier access. Then I looked at the old pump to make sure I connected the wiring in the correct places on the new pump, took out the old, cleaned up the water that spilled out of the line from the old pump, connected the pump to the in and out drain lines, reattached the wiring, screwed it back in place, and was very happy this cost me about a 1/10th of what it would have if I replaced my dishwasher at everyone's recommendation. I works great.
unplugged the dishwasher first then turned it on its side unhooked the silinoid, unscrewed the old part, hooked up the new one it was that easy.
I started by removing all of the water on the inside and the outer casing around the dishwasher, tipped the unit on its side, and removed the old drain pump with the new one. It was a very nice, simple fix and did not take long at all. Your web site came up very quickly through google. I entered in my model number and found the part that i needed right away.

Gladys And Her All Girl Band
Duration: 60min 04sec Views: 14 728 Submitted: 2 years ago Submitted by:
Description: Last but not least, let's have a big round of applause for Gladys And Her All Girl Band! Two dudes run down a New York street, one of whom is Shaun Costello. The other guy calls Shaun a putz, which is kind of rad. The lost whatever was chasing them and wind up at a building where Gladys is having auditions for her all girl band where they figure they should hide out. They scam their way past the guy at the door while the security guy goes to lay a blonde chick. While the sex is going on, Costello and his pal are getting into drag - full make up, dresses, the whole bit. Costello puts on a blonde afro wig and looks ridiculous and the two go to meet Gladys (is it Terri Hall? Looks like her) to audition for her band. The girls figure out who they are soon enough, however. Rather than head out into the street, the boys decide to give Terri Hall a DP, which is always the logical decision. Later on C.J. Laing shows up and gives head to a guy who looks a little bit like Sonny Bono. Once everyone is done they all hang out naked in the living room and watch themselves as Gladys And Her All-Girl Band in color on a black and white TV. While the TV is blasting away, they have an orgy.This one is played pretty pretty much completely for laughs and on that level its pretty effective. The sex is pretty raunchy but there's a very playful side to it that softens it quite a bit and the very ridiculousness of it all makes it difficult to take any of this seriously.

Indian Mascot Controversy Examined by Ohio HS Schools
For some, team mascots that depict native Americans are offensive. Others see it as an honor to the Indian tribes that once roamed Ohio.
Adena High School is home to the Warriors. Their hometown, Frankfort, was once a Shawnee Indian village.
Athletics director Scott Hurtt, who also went to the school, acknowledges times have changed since 1965 when the name was chosen. He says if it were ever an issue he wouldn't have a problem with a change.
88 Ohio schools have Indian-related mascots. Warriors and Indians are the most popular with 23 each, such as at Adena with the Warriors along with Hillsboro and Western using Indians.
National Council of American Indians executive director Jacqueline Pata says Redskins is one. 11 Ohio schools use that name, nine use Braves- such as Logan Elm, and five are called the Redmen.

This offseason has been a busy one for the New England Patriots. Roster turnover is inevitable in the National Football League. However, with several veteran starters leaving as free agents, the Patriots entered last week's mandatory mini-camp with plenty of question marks. Here is a position-by-position analysis of who left and how the Patriots plan to fill the holes:
Arrivals: Eric Warfield, Tebucky Jones, Mel Mitchell, Willie Andrews
Departures: Ty Poole
The Patriots experienced a slew of injuries in the secondary for the second straight season in 2005. A new combination of starters was a weekly occurrence, leading to a secondary that was 31st in the league defending the pass. With that in mind, the Patriots appear to be making a pointed effort to add even more depth going into this season. The one player they lost, Poole, couldn't stay healthy during his final two years in New England. One could argue his departure is already a step in the right direction as far as shortening the weekly injury report at cornerback. Poole's absence will be anything but unusual or astonishing.
Veteran cornerback Eric Warfield is a nice addition depth-wise, especially if Ellis Hobbs experiences growing pains. But the biggest signing at cornerback may yet to have been made. The Ty Law rumors seem to grow stronger by the day and the longer he remains without a team, the better the chances New England will be able to sign him. Other than the Patriots, the Kansas City Chiefs appear to be the only team courting Law at this point. New England seemingly has the edge as far as available cap room and local ties. But the Chiefs' new head coach Herm Edwards hasn't been shy about his desire to see Law follow his path from the Jets to the Chiefs. While Law wasn't signed until mid-summer last year, the Chiefs were reportedly close to finalizing a deal with Law early this week, according to Scout sources.
At safety, Jones may be in the running for early season playing time at safety if Rodney Harrison's recovery from knee surgery takes the full year that was estimated when he tore three ligaments last September. Harrison has been doing everything possible to come back sooner, but the Patriots have clearly hedged their bets by signing Jones and drafting Andrews for additional depth. Jones' familiarity with the Patriots defense was likely a determining factor in his signing as a free agent after a disappointing 2005 in Miami.
Second-year safety James Sanders showed promise when he was healthy last season and might be the favorite to play opposite Eugene Wilson if Harrison is unavailable. He demonstrated his play-making ability with his touchdown return in Buffalo and also had some highlight reel-worthy hits.
Arrivals: Barry Gardner, Jeremy Mincey, Jeremy Lloyd
Departures: Willie McGinest, Matt Chatham
The veteran McGinest's signing with the Cleveland Browns after 12 years as a Patriot may be felt more in the locker room than on the field. But it will at the very least necessitate the return of Mike Vrabel to a full-time outside linebacker. Vrabel's style is probably more suited to the edge of the defense anyway, but there will be a void in the middle next to Tedy Bruschi that needs to be filled.
Incumbent Monty Beisel likely has the edge to win the starting job at middle linebacker despite a disappointing first season in New England. Beisel showed steady improvement against the run in the second half of the season and has reportedly bulked up an additional 15-20 pounds. This unit was infinitely better when Bruschi returned in Week 8 and probably isn't in as much trouble as some have suggested with the loss of McGinest. Rosevelt Colvin finally looked like the player he was with the Chicago Bears, notching six straight games with a sack at the end of last season.
One player who could be a surprise is Gardner, a former second round pick in 1999. At 6-1, 245 pounds, Gardner has the size to be effective as an inside linebacker, but he played mainly on special teams last season as a New York Jet. His main drawback is his limited experience playing in 3-4 schemes. If his learning curve is as drawn out as Beisel's was last season, Gardner's playing time will be scarce.
Speaking of learning curves, Mincey, the Pats' sixth-round pick out of Florida, will likely be making the transition from defensive end to outside linebacker. Mincey played only two full seasons for the Gators and probably won't contribute much this season aside from special teams coverage.
Defensive Line
Arrivals: Johnathan Sullivan, Le Kevin Smith
Departures: None
Starters Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork and Ty Warren make the defensive line perhaps the most talented unit on the team. Barring injury, it's tough to imagine the Patriots expecting - or needing - too much out of the newcomers. Sullivan seemingly fits into this group well as a fellow first round pick. But Seymour's former teammate at Georgia has not blossomed in the NFL as was expected when he was taken with the sixth overall pick in 2003. Sullivan's 330-pound frame does make him a good backup to nose tackle Wilfork, who came into his own in the second half of last season after an inconsistent start. Smith, a sixth-round pick out of Nebraska, has upside down the road but is unlikely to leapfrog backups Jarvis Green, Marquise Hill and Mike Wright on the depth chart this season.
[Editor's note: UDFA's such as Pierre Woods and other were not included in the additions listing. LB Jeremy Loyd has been released by the team.]
Part Two of this series will review the Partiots offensive changes.

Nanoparticle Delivers Antisense Agent to Tumors, Boosts Drug Effect in Resistant Tumors
A multifunctional drug delivery system consisting of a lipid-based nanoparticle, a standard anticancer drug, and a short nucleic acid designed to augment the activity of that drug has demonstrated the ability to treat drug-resistant tumor cells. This work, published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, suggests a novel approach to treating drug-resistant tumors, the leading cause of cancer deaths.
Tamara Minko, Ph.D., of Rutgers University, led the team of investigators that developed this novel nanotherapeutic system for treating cancer. She and her colleagues set out to target a signaling pathway that causes tumors to trigger new blood vessel growth and to develop resistance to many anticancer drugs. To shut down this pathway, the investigators developed an antisense oligonucleotide that would bind to and inactivate messenger RNA coding for a protein known as hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, which, when present, activates the targeted pathway.
To deliver this antisense agent to tumor cells, the investigators created a lipid-based nanoparticle, or liposome, that would stably incorporate both the antisense agent and the anticancer drug doxorubicin. The investigators also created two additional liposomes as controls, each of which was loaded with only one of the two therapeutic agents. Tests with both isolated tumor cells and with animals bearing human tumors showed that administration of the multifunctional nanoparticle was more effective at killing tumor cells than was coadministration of the two single-component liposomes. At the same time, the multifunctional liposome produced fewer side effects than did the combination of the two single-component liposomes. The investigators hypothesized that cells may have a limited ability to take up liposomes, so including both drugs in a single liposome would increase cellular uptake of the active ingredients relative to when these agents are delivered using two separate liposomes.
This work, which was supported by the NCI, is detailed in the paper "Nonviral Nanoscale-Based Delivery of Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeted to Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α Enhances the Efficacy of Chemotherapy in Drug-Resistant Tumor." Investigators from George Mason University, Georgetown University Medical Center, and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey also participated in this study. An abstract of this paper is available at the journal's Web site.

Wolcottsville, New York
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Wolcottsville is a sweet community that lies in Niagara County, New York, USA. The community consists of numerous houses, two churches, a bar, and a corner store called AJs. Wolcottsville is known to very few people because of the great clouds that cover almost the entire town. It is not to be confused with the former village of Olcottsville, which collapsed into a sinkhole near the mouth of the Niagara River in 1801, in what is now known as Youngstown, New York. It is also totally unrelated to Wolcottsburg, which is an unincorporated hamlet within Clarence, New York, a town now regarded as the aviation disaster capitol of Western New York.
edit History
On May 3rd, 1045, a group of tribesmen from present-day Smolensk sailed their cedar skiffs to the Wolcott area looking for new hunting grounds. There they encountered a tribe of Native Americans. It is not known exactly how the tribesman from Smolensk were able to travel back into the past from the present-day; scientists suspect some type of stable wormhole was involved.
Immediately a fight broke out. Body piled upon blood-caked body. In fact, local Natives were known for their tasty blood-cake recipe. Tomahawks, vodka bottles, scimitars, spears, and feather pillows filled the air. When the dust and feathers cleared, the Russians were victorious over the Native Americans. As a result, all Russians are banned from Native-owned gambling casinos forever.
Charmed by the bloodshed, they built simple wattle-and-daub 3-story Cape Cod style homes roofed with prestressed asbestos and appraised at anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000 rubles.
Over the years, more people came to the settlement. The housing market boomed. Eventually, they all sobered up, ran out of dynamite, and no more booms were heard.
As the community became more civilized the citizens established a communist-anarchic commune, and, when that didn't work, a bourgeois town council. In 1189 this council named Wolcott Abnangagi as the first mayor and war chief pro tem. Then the group as a whole assembled to decide on the town name. Wine flowed; the tables groaned under the weight of roast partridge, pickled herring, headcheese, rotgut, blancmange, and several large stones placed there for the guests to sharpen their teeth on.
The assembly decided on the name Wolcottsville, not to be confused with Wolcottville, an equally charming place which has been called "the whitest town in Indiana."
Bad choice, eh? Within weeks God punished them by sending a ravaging plague which killed everyone. The community dissolved into nowhere. Professional magicians would soon come here from across the country to study this technique.
Many years later -- in 1334 -- four descendants of the original tribesmen happened to meet. They formed a group known only by the acronym RJMK...a clever move as all four of them were illiterate. One historian later said, "The organs of this acronym are unknown to this day." We assume he meant origins but then again who knows? Maybe RJMK really does stand for body parts: Red blood cells, Jawbone, Mingy bits, and Krackow. Anyway, the four mounted a guerrilla war against the new inhabitants of the land...er, we forgot, somebody came around and inhabited the inhabitation's left vacant after the Russian inhabitants got all plagued out.
Yet another set of new families moved in. Notable among them was the Ohol family, a clan of fat lazy people that never do a god damn thing that live in a shit-hole house. They look like they belong in a trailer park; that made them fit in really well in Niagara County.
edit Geography
Wolcottsville is flat, with the exception of a large straight hill at the edge of town which is referred to by the locals as "The Niagara S Carp Mint," no doubt named for some type of minty tasting fish that is native to the nearby Niagara River. Lack of drainage creates dangerous swamps that have taken the lives of many who have ventured outside their backyards. These swamps are known by the locals as the Alabama swamps. A giant windmill - the largest of its kind in the county - was constructed to help drain the swamp.
edit Outstanding Events
The people of Wolcottsville loved their windmill so deeply that it blinded them to everything outside their purulent community. THEN!....One day, a group of adventure seekers known as the Fuckwits staggered into the village, drunk on honeyed mead and bull semen. They saw the great hill. They urinated on the great hill! They even picked violets and daffodils right at the foot of the huge windmill.
The Fuckwits learned how to harvest the massive amounts of goodness and power from the windmill. This they did by strapping a virgin llama to each of the windmill's arms and making an offering of walnut ketchup to the machine.
LITTLE did they REALIZE what immense power they were dealing with!
The ordinary people of Wolcottsville became uneasy. A prophet arose amongst them, a great and fat man called only G-Man, saying,
|Yea, thou shalt abide not the Fuckwits, for they are unholy even though their socks are holey. Ye shall scatter to the five corners of New York, lest the Windmill destroy you all!
Well, of course all the commoners abandoned the village.
Shit, wouldn't you? I mean, really!
The Fuckwits realized nothing of the prophecy...mostly because they figured the G-Man was a loonie. Well he was a loonie, but he was a smart loonie. The Fuckwits cast their strange spells, stealing power from the hill and windmill. But one fine June day, when the sparrow-hawks sang in the sludge fields and the carp leaped in the festering swamps, the windmill spoke and a loud rumble deafening to the Fuckwits, exploded from the hill killing them all!
Oh golly gee.
Soon after this, the common, ordinary retards of Wolcottsville returned to their town to live, existing in happiness and harmony with the windmill. Thus it has continued until this very day.
edit Interesting Facts
- Wolcottsville is named for Wolcott Abnangagi, who built the Niagara Escarpment.
- Census records show the most popular name for baby girls born in the area is "Windmilla."
- Wild Orcs, Wargs, and other fierce Tolkien clichés run wild throughout the streets and forests of Wolcottsville. Their appearances are usually seasonal, coinciding with a new crop of schoolchildren reading The Hobbit.
- Surprisingly, over 68% of the residents are now listed as retired New York State Department of Corrections workers.
- The local country store was once run by a happy family. Later it was run by a sad family. Then a fat family, and after that a family of albino dwarfs. An Arab sheik, passing through the area with his entourage and claiming to be on his way to Rochester to buy the Eastman Kodak Corporation, once came into the store and tried to buy a country, but was told "this is a country store, but we do not actually sell countries here..." and left the store confused, threatening legal action.
- This store is a convenient place to buy over-priced pop, milk, and aluminum foil. It is not a good place to look for women, though. Due to price increases, the prices of all goods have increased. Funny how that works. It should be noted that if prices had not increased, the goods would not be more expensive. This is known as "economic theory for cretinous dunces".
- Wolcottsville also has a restaurant run by a local family, the Grciewszisnakis, called the Czecho-Hungarian Schnapps-and-Bourbon Grillomat. Here in this clean well-lighted place the lonely alcoholic finds refuge, drinking Long Island Iced Tea, wood alcohol, kerosene, and other fancy concoctions while the jukebox plays Proud Mary and Blue Danube.
- Recently residents of Wolcottsville have spotted UFOs zipping around the town, frightening cats, dumping their spaceship portapotties in the Wolcottsville sewage factory, and abducting grannies for radiation experiments. Many believe the windmill attracts UFOs to Wolcottsville.
- Others blame the mayor, who has green skin and sports a TV antenna sticking out of his ass.
- No one dares object to the UFOs, though. If they did then the windmill might become angry and smite them. Or the mayor might shove some kind of antenna up their asses.
Uncyclopedia wishes to apologize for the quality of this article. It started out as some kind of incoherent nonsense and has only grown worse with each successive revision. Nobody knows what this windmill shit is about. Windmills? We don't need no stinkin' windmills. Windmills have been made totally redundant by our advanced 21st Century coal burning technology. That damn thing was ruining reception of Toronto UHF TV stations out as far away as Corfu. Windmills are ugly and wreck the already rock bottom property values. Besides, nobody cares what the windmill shit is about. In fact there really are no windmills here anymore. All windmills in the area have now been moved to the fabled city of Lackawanna, also known as "El-Lay" to the tribes of people who live south of Buffalo Sorry. Again, we apologize.

Red Cross helps rebuild lives
It's there for families when disaster strikes, and long after.
Published 12:00 am, Friday, December 10, 2010
Every day between 4:05 and 4:11 p.m., Donna Lanier's twin 12-year-old boys came home from school.
But on Nov. 18, she met them as she ran out the front door with black smoke trailing behind her.
"This ain't no kitchen fire," she yelled as she told them to call 911.
An electrical fire had started moments before in the living room next to a computer desk. As the family watched from the sidewalk, their two-story house in Schertz was consumed by flames. They lost everything they owned except for their van parked on the street and the clothes on their backs.
"I came out with my pajamas on," Lanier said.
In less then 24 hours, the American Red Cross had secured temporary housing for the Laniers at a local motel and given them a debit card to help them start putting their lives back in order.
The Red Cross is one of many area nonprofit groups the San Antonio Express-News is profiling in its annual Grace of Giving series, which runs daily until Christmas.
News Channel
After the housing and debit card, the Red Cross offered counseling and guidance to help the family of four get back on their feet. Local nonprofits were contacted to ensure the family would continue to get support.
The family did not have renter's insurance.
For Lanier's husband, Clay Lanier, who had come home about the same time as the boys, the shock of watching his house burn and challenge of having to deal with the resulting chaos was daunting. The Red Cross help with logistics was crucial, he said.
"They told me where to go," Clay Lanier said. "They made it so I did not have to think about of a lot of things."
Last year the San Antonio Area Chapter of the American Red Cross helped 609 families across South Texas that had lost their homes to flooding or fire. The nonprofit also taught 35,000 people lifesaving skills in CPR/AED, lifeguard and baby-sitting classes. It continues to help individuals and organizations plan and prepare responses to natural and man-made disasters.
For the Lanier family, things are starting to return to normal. A member of their church is renting them a home and their neighbors come by regularly to check up and offer help.

Donna Lanier still gets up several times a night to make sure the house is not on fire. She is reflexively unnerved by anything that beeps like a smoke detector.
But the counselor provided by the Red Cross told her that reaction was normal and would eventually fade as she worked through the stress that comes with a house fire.
As a registered nurse used to helping others, Donna Lanier said it has been difficult to be on the receiving end of help and that kind of advice is what appreciates.
"People's houses burn every day," she said. "But we don't feel like they left us. They do make sure everyone is OK."

New Castle man sues homeless shelter, says turned away because of seeing eye dog
A New Castle homeless shelter turned away a blind man because they couldn't accommodate his seeing eye dog, according to a federal discrimination lawsuit filed Friday.
Kenneth DeFiore, age not available, filed the lawsuit against the City Rescue Mission of New Castle, a faith-based shelter that provides temporary lodging for the homeless, and James Henderson, a program manager at the shelter. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder filed a similar lawsuit later in the day against the shelter and Henderson on DeFiore's behalf.
According to the complaint, DeFiore — diagnosed with blindness in 2006 — became homeless in November 2011 when his landlord evicted him from his apartment. A month later, he called City Rescue Mission to request a bed, but Henderson told him they would not accept him as long as "Gabby," DeFiore's service-trained Labrador retriever, accompanied him.
Records from the shelter show there was at least one vacant bed available at the shelter every night between Dec. 1 and Dec. 22, the lawsuit says.
Henderson did not return a call seeking comment.
