May God Act Soon!

MORIEL urges prayer that God will act against the now passed Sexual Orientation Regulations of Tony Blair and his government backed by many Conservative members of parliament including the Conservative leader David Cameron. This legislation forces religious institutions to provide services including homosexual and lesbian adoption of children, with steep financial penalties against those responsible for the care of these children and these services.

A Creche Without Christians

Christian Persecution in the Middle East

by Nina Shea

In the two millennia since the child’s birth in a humble manger in Bethlehem, the good news of Christianity has spread to every continent, inspiring more followers than any other religion today. But the lands that once were the cradle of Christianity have turned distinctively inhospitable to the faith. Fiercely intolerant variants of Islam are taking hold in the region, many of them fueled with ideology and funds from Saudi and Iranian extremists. Continue reading →

JWR Columnist Off the Air after ABC/Disney Is Intimidated by CAIR

Yesterday Michael Graham wrote in his column: “I take no pleasure in saying it. It pains me to think it. I could very well lose my job in talk radio over admitting it. But it is the plain truth: Islam is a terror organization.” And then his fears came true. Hours after his column appeared here, Graham, a mid-morning talker at WMAL in Washington, D.C., was suspended without pay pending an investigation. Graham’s column and previous on-air comments were not the first time he’s had a run-in with CAIR. In an April, 2004 column, he details other attempts by the Muslim group to silence him. But as late as this week, a WMAL executive, Randall Bloomquist, told the Washington Post that despite CAIR’s protests about some of Graham’s on-air utterances, the station had no intention of reprimanding him. Describing Graham’s rhetoric as “amped up”, he said, according to the paper, it is justified within the context of the program. “Remember that this is talk radio,” Bloomquist added. “We don’t do the dainty minuet of the newspaper editorial page. It’s not ‘Washington Week in Review.’ It depends on pungent statements to drive it. Michael is rattling the cage. It’s designed to start and further a conversation, and it has certainly done that.” Graham, on-air, explained his position on Islam: Continue reading →

5 Years In Jail For Teaching Sunday School?

Indonesian housewives in hot water after kids invite Muslim friends

© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

Three Christian housewives in Indonesia have been charged with endangering children and face a possible five years in prison after teaching a kids Sunday School class, a human-rights group reports. According to International Christian Concern, which helps persecuted believers worldwide, the criminal charges stem from three Sunday School lessons the women – Rebecca Laonita Z, Rama Mala Bangun and Etty Pangesti – taught in 2003 and 2005. The activities the women led included: telling stories and teaching from the Bible, teaching Christian prayers, providing prizes like pencils for memorizing Bible verses, giving children towels with a picture of Jesus, and giving kids blue sport shirts that bore a cross and the logo of their church. The women also allegedly invited a child to attend a church service and lent a girl a Bible to read, International Christian Concern reported. While most of the children involved went to the women’s church, the kids had invited some of their Muslim friends to the classes – and that’s when the trouble began. Indonesia has a child-protection criminal statute that states: Continue reading →

Australian Muslim Threat

The attached file is from Rabbi Rob Miller. Although many of you (and I)
would not agree with some of his theology, this letter is very important and significant. You need to read it.

To the Netzarim Diaspora in Australia

It has come to my attention that a Believer in YahShua is being persecuted in Australia. His life was threatened recently when attending a Muslim run so-called inter-faith meeting in Sydney. He is an Arab Believer and a minister in Sydney by the name of F I_______ Continue reading →

Newcastle Shul Vandalised

by Dan Goldberg

VANDALS defaced Newcastle’s only synagogue just two days before Pesach last week, smashing several stained-glass windows and spray-painting graffiti — including swastikas and the words “Jews must die” — on the walls of the building.

A crossed-out Star of David, the words “six million more” and “88” (neo-Nazi code for “Heil Hitler”) were also spray-painted on the walls of the Newcastle Hebrew Congregation early last Thursday morning — just hours after the 116th anniversary of Hitler’s birthday.

Posters belonging to White Pride, a white supremacist organisation, with the words “Jews are ruining your life”, were found at the Central Coast building, which is about 160 kilometres north of Sydney.

Shul president David Gubbay told the AJN: “You hear about these attacks on shuls in Melbourne and Sydney and hope that it won’t happen in Newcastle, but I’ve been afraid it would happen.

“It’s regrettable; we hope it’s a one-off, and not a portent of things to come; we’re a quiet, peaceful, small community; we don’t endeavour to impose our religious beliefs on other people.”

Is This the Death of Christianity in Australia?

by Bill Muehlenberg

I just returned from the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in Melbourne, where the two Christian pastors have been found of guilty of vilifying Muslims. The decision handed down this morning marks the beginning of the end of freedom of speech in Australia, and the official restriction of proclaiming the Christian gospel.

While the full report of 100 pages will not appear until next week, a short summary by Judge Higgins said that the two Danny’s (Daniel Scot and Daniel Nalliah) breached section 8 of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 which says a person cannot engage in conduct that “incites hatred against, serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of, that other person or class of persons”.

Terror And Tolerance

By Jean-Christophe Mounicq

The morning of Jan. 29, upon hearing about the attack on a bus in Jerusalem, I did not experience the expected emotion. It seemed such a “normal” thing, and I have not enough tears to shed for people I do not know.

The next day, on Jan. 30, I read an article about one of the victims — Avraham Belhassen, 26 years old, a young father — and realized that I could tolerate no more. I can no longer tolerate terrorist folly, Islamist hatred, the passivity of Muslims, the blindness of the West. Continue reading →

Islamic Militants Slaughter 49 Christians in Raid

Nigeria 26th February 2004

Plateau State: Some 49 Christians were massacred by Islamic militants in a raid on the Christian town of Yelwa on Tuesday 24 February.

Plateau Police Commissioner Innocent Ilozuoke told reporters how most of the Christian victims had been shot as they ran to a church desperately seeking refuge. The attackers are thought to have mainly been ethnic Fulani Muslims. Local security sources indicate that the merciless guerrilla tactics used in the assault suggest Islamist fighters from Chad and Niger may also have been involved. Police and army units have been sent to the town and order has now been restored. Continue reading →
