Did You Wake Up Today Wanting To Kill Someone You Don't Know? by: brendasue

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.

January 8, 2010 Discover Life at Kates Cabin on Rainbow Creek, A Bird Sanctuary in Waller County, Texas, USA, Earth

Greetings to all Humans on Earth!
You have arrived at the page of Brendasue Watson. We are having a small Nature Class at the Bird Sanctuary on Rainbow Creek. As we discover life in the woods around Kates Cabin, the photos are being shared here as a short photostudy on both the use of a camera and the nature we are shooting. So come on in and have a look.

The American Goldfinch is another bird that arrives in January. Today we are experiencing frigid arctic air from the North Pole. Even in the cold, there are hundreds of goldfinches eating at the feeding stations.

Here are 2 butterflies touching each other. Insects have friends and communications we do not usually observe. Birds also have family & friends. I believe that love is experienced by other species, but that is just an opinion like everything else on this page.


BREAKING NEWS: Freak Ice Storm Covers Kates Cabin with a Blanket of Ice. Sorry class, we are going to have to breakaway from the planned photostudy for tonight. I must report this Ice Storm that just came out of nowhere and froze everything in the sanctuary. Rainbow Creek is frozen over. I have never seen anything like this in all my life here in Texas. Let me go get some pictures of this. I will be right back.


Here are the Photos. Look at this. It is unbelievable!
























































Oh No! Not BLUE Ice! What is Happening?

January 7, 2010 Discover Life at Kates Cabin on Rainbow Creek, A Bird Sanctuary in Waller County, Texas, USA, Earth

The North Pole arrived in Texas at Kates Cabin on Rainbow Creek as predicted by All Weather Channels. It is Bitter Bone Chilling Cold. The Birds all ate big meals today getting ready for The Big Chill Tonight. To all of my Dear Friends who are thinking caring positive thoughts for my birds and I, Thank You.

This is what the cold looks like: A Blue Norther, but in a 'blue year', it is only to be expected!

The Cardinals are puffing up their feathers to stay warm today!
Come on in and Welcome to my World Class! by: brendasue

There is someone new coming in now. In quick review, I am offering this Nature Class (for free) in an Effort for all People on Earth to become more Aware of the Living Things sharing the Planet with Us. This is a site where we are not identified by our differences, rather enhanced by the simple fact that we are all Human Beings Living on this Planet Earth. Among us are vast numbers of Non Human Beings. Who Are They? What is their life like on this Planet?
I have opened up the Bird Sanctuary on Rainbow Creek as a Starting Point to Discover the Woods around us. Who Lives Here?
We usually meet on the rooftop deck, but it is too cold today. And the Ant is busy writing his new screen play: "Ant on a Cold Tin Roof" So we are going inside where it is warm today. My Bed is next to a window with a view of my private bird courtyard. I have created a photo op for us by hanging a bag of thistle seed in the apple tree.
So come sit on my bed and we will open the window to view the class photostudy for today.

Our study today will be this little bird sitting here on a branch like a normal bird.

This Bird is named a Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus). I will relate the Bird Field Guide Description as we go along viewing the photos. Now when you hang a bag of this seed, these little birds go wild! They just love it! As they get aggressive over this food, they display their open feathers at each other trying to scare off the intruder. Enjoy the Phototour out my window today!

The Pine Siskin
Field Marks: A small, dark, heavily streaked finch with a deeply notched tail. A touch of yellow in wings and tail. In size and action resembles American Goldfinch.



























































This concludes our class tonite. Think about these little birds. Think about hanging a feeder out your window by your bed! I call these birds the New Year birds as they come to Kates in January. They arrived on January 3 with the American Goldfinches. There are hundreds here and I love to capture their behavior.
