Welcome to Everyone in the World:
As you know when I started this Nature Class, I was looking for ways we can come together as humans living on the earth with other living things. I believe among the humans of the earth that it is the Nature Lovers, Artists and Care Givers who want to focus on the common bonds we share as a species of Earth.
I have opened Kates Cabin on Rainbow Creek as an adventure where we can explore together the lives of other living things, especially enjoyable are the birds. I watched a red shouldered Hawk grow up on Rainbow Creek. I named her Rambo as she is a Great Hunter in the Woods. As she likes to hang out with me and the dogs on the roof, I have been able to take many photos to share with All. We have watched her build a nest, mate and raise 2 chicks. I have made many friends across this world who love the same things I love.
Now I have to believe that for the most part, Birds throughout the whole world do the same thing as Rambo.
They search for food and water, poop, build a nest, mate and have babies that they care for, nurture and teach to fly away. People, as it seems to me, are similar to birds. Personally I search for food and water, poop like everyone else, married, had sex, had babies and built my own Nest. I am the product of all that is Good as I was deeply loved by my Mom and Dad; likewise I deeply love my Children and Grandchildren. I would like to believe that throughout the whole world People are the same way. That all things can be fixed if we just Understand each other. I have a friend in France who shared with me that her Mother had died. I know how she feels with the new pain of separation due to Death. I can offer words of Comfort and Sorrow and Memories of childhood joy. I can share with all of you the joys of the photos I take of the birds, flowers and trees I care for. (And dogs).
It seems something happened between the birds and bees and humans. Some sort of mutation of thought happened in some people. Now this is what I would like to understand:
Why are there some men in this World who woke up wanting to Kill me (who they do not even know) just because I was born in America? I would like to know if this is really true. Are there men out there in other parts of the World who want to kill me and my family and friends because of where we are born?
If this is not true, please let us know. And if it is true, Why?
I did not wake up wanting to kill anyone because of where they live on Earth. I am pretty sure most People do not wake up and say I am going to go kill some people today because they were born at the South Pole (for example). If I was born in England would you still want to kill me? Or Greece?Or France?
What is it about where someone is born as to whether you want to kill them or not?
The folowing is an e mail going around now. I want to know if this is true? brendasue

This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim.
This is not hearsay, and it will scare the life out of you.
Make sure you read the paragraph towards the end.
Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.
Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.
Ripping the West in Two.
Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .
When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing.. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.
It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.
(In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. is one... and there are others...)
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
Well I just do not know what to think about this. Maybe I should move.

Yet Another Battle at Rainbow Creek. Come and See. by: brendasue
Good Evening Class. Welcome to Rainbow Creek
Look Everybody, It is Punker to open our class today.
Let The Class Begin! Thanks, Punker.
Who is that with you?
I see. It is your new baby girl, Welcome.
Punker has just brought her to the gate feeding station today to learn how to eat seed.
The last time you saw this babe, she was in the nest in an egg!
Welcome to all of the Cardinal families that live at Rainbow Creek Bird Sanctuary.
(Punker was the baby last year).
As I was coming down the stairway to Heaven, I just happen to glance at this fence post and exclaim: What is That?
It is a lizard shedding his skin. Unlike Humans, Reptile skin does not stretch.
So when they grow larger, they simply pop out of the old skin into the new skin underneath. I have seen this several times, usually in the spring when they awake from their hibernation (long winter nap). It takes several hours for them to completely shed the old layer.
So our Photostudy today will be on the shedding lizard and who is that with him?
He is looking to see where that other guy went
Well Class, it appears it is our lucky day. There is a fierce territorial dispute going on over who is King of this fence post. Today I will bring you part one and tomorrow, I will reveal the winner in part two.
Warning: As many things in Nature are violent, there are some graphic photos where you may notice bloody mouth. That is their weapon of Choice.
As the Battle on Rainbow Creek begins, they puff up their bodies with air to appear big and mean.
They strut their stuff, showing off who is the mean green fighting machine.
A helmet appears on their head during this aggressive display.
I would assume the one shedding his skin would be at a disadvantage as he was preoccupied stretching out of his skin.
They show their teeth to each other.
And circle around each other eyeing each other.
You sure are ugly, said one.
It appears whoever gets to the top wins the post.
Excuse me, this is my Post!
I dedicate this Battle to Naturedigital in Greece. He enjoys the battlefields of Nature!
Hi Costas! Thanks for all your nice comments. I enjoy seeing your beach in Greece.
Okay, back to the heated Battle.
I will claim this post for God and my Country.
What Country are you claiming, you ugly dumb lizard and you are green.
The mighty King!
Yes, He is a little ugly. (But loved by his Mom anyway).
I got the Lamp Post!
And I am going to get you as you are butt ugly.
Who do you think you are talking to, you wimp?
I will Eat You Alive! (not really)
Is your Mother as ugly as you?
Hey! It looks like you are loosing your skin!
And it looks like you are dead meat.
I claim the lamp post.
What happen to your ugly Mouth?
You Mother.... I am going to Kill you!
To be Continued..........Who do you think the winner is???
