Sudan: Christian Woman Enslaved For 19 Years By Muslims Is Finally Free

05/03/2014 4 comments

At His First Coming, the liberty of Christ opened the prisons of all who were bound by sin. At His Second, He will liberate all who are bound by chains …

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

By Mark Ellis, GR – “She was kidnapped in South Sudan before she was even a teenager and forced by her Muslim captor to the North. Subjected to beatings, forced genital mutilation, and commanded to ‘pray like a Muslim,’ she found liberation after 19 painful years.

‘I was captured in 1994 in Gok Machar.  I was still young, not yet a teenager.  Six of us were captured.  Three of us refused to go to the North.  They were killed.  My hands were tied to a horse to pull me along.  We walked all day without rest, and we weren’t treated when we were sick,’ Ayul Aguer told those who worked for her release at Christian Solidarity International (CSI).

 After they arrived at their destination, her new master – a man named Mohammad Jamos, sold two of the remaining three victims, so only Ayul remained as his servant.

‘He did not treat me well,’ she recounts.  ‘He beat me all the time, as m

uch as ten times a day.  He forced me to work, grinding grain, fetching water, cooking, and washing clothes,’ according to her interview with CSI.

One day Mohammad sent her to the market for provisions, but a tragic incident happened. ‘Some Arab boys raped me on the way, and knifed my finger, upper arm and upper thigh.’

Ayul followed Jesus Christ at the time of her capture and attended church, but her captor forbade any outward expression of her faith.

‘Mohammed forced me to pray like a Muslim.  He threatened to kill me if I talked about church.  Once I told him I was going to go to church anyway.  He tied me up outside and left me in the sun all day.  He ordered me to look at the sun.  I couldn’t see for some days after that.  I still get dizzy sometimes,’ she recounts.

Mohammed also forced her to undergo female genital mutilation/cutting (FGC), sometimes referred to as female circumcision.  It is estimated that between 100 million and 140 million girls and women worldwide have received FGC, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. There are more than 3 million girls at risk of having FGC each year.

‘I didn’t want it; it’s not from my culture,’ Ayul says.

A short time later, Ayul was given to another slave, Deng, to be his wife. ‘We had three children, and gave them Arab names.  If I had given them Dinka names, I would have lost my life,’ she says.

Ayul is from the Dinka people group, the largest ethnic tribe in South Sudan, which makes up about 18% of the population.

Ayul was separated from her three children when she was liberated in September, 2013 and returned to her home in South Sudan. ‘I need my children back,’ she says. ‘I also need Deng.  He’s the only one I know.’ Deng also belongs to the Dinka people.

‘But I’m happy to be here.  When the slave retriever told me we were going back to South Sudan, I was Read more…

Submission: The 5 Latest Signs Of Britain’s Imminent Demise

05/03/2014 2 comments

Revelation 18:3a, “For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries …”

By Robert Spencer, PJ Media – “When the government of Great Britain banned Pamela Geller and me from entering the country for the crime of speaking unwelcome truths about the jihad threat and supporting Israel a bit too vocally, I thought that Britain was a bit too anxious to appease its increasingly aggressive and demanding Muslim minority. When British Prime Minister David Cameron said, ‘I want London to stand alongside Dubai as one of the great capitals of Islamic finance anywhere in the world,’ Britain’s surrender to Sharia became an even more pressing concern, as Cameron will discover that Sharia finance cannot be separated from the rest of Islamic law any more than he could separate a bowl of blood pudding into its constituent parts.

But this past week came five signs that Britain is going to capitulate entirely to Sharia – or else descend into chaos and civil conflict — even sooner than most observers think.

5. Muslim terrifies churchgoers, enters church and shouts: ‘This is rubbish, you should be preaching Allah, turn to Islam’

The Derby Telegraph reported last week that ‘churchgoers were left terrified after believing a 52-year-old man who walked into their church ‘dressed like a terrorist’ on Remembrance Sunday ‘might be armed with a bomb.’’

Mohamed Dar didn’t just walk into the church: as he walked in during a service, wearing a bandana that proclaimed ‘Allahu akbar,’ Dar demanded that the congregants ‘turn to Allah.’ He shouted: ‘This is rubbish, you should be preaching Allah, turn to Islam, we send boys of 10 to war.’ One of the assembled Christians recounted: ‘He was dressed like a terrorist, I though he may have a gun or a bomb or some sort of weapon, I was so frightened.’

It is indicative of how much British non-Muslims have learned to put up with this sort of thing that this incident was reported only in one laconic story in the Derby Telegraph, whereas if a Christian had gone into a mosque anywhere in Britain wearing a bandana that said ‘Jesus is Lord’ and had begun shouting, ‘This is rubbish, you should be preaching the Gospel, turn to Christ,’ it would without the slightest doubt have been national and international news, and the subject of numerous earnest BBC chats featuring media-hyped ‘moderates’ such as Maajid Nawaz, Mehdi Hasan, and Mohammed Ansar, all sounding (in harmony) notes of wounded victimhood.

The incident would be taken as an indication of Britain’s deep-seated ‘Islamophobia,’ and dire need to lay in yet more legal insulation against that vile crime. But Mojamed Dar’s little exercise in dawah (Islamic proselytizing)? That’s just life in Britain today.

4. Two women fined for tearing up Qur’an at soccer match

Two fans of the British soccer team Middlesbrough FC, Julie Phillips and Gemma Parkin, were found guilty Thursday of ‘religiously aggravated harassment’ for ripping pages out of the Qur’an at a soccer match. Phillips was fined £300; Parkin £200. This comes just a few months after another British citizen, Mark Stephenson, was prosecuted and fined for tearing up a Qur’an at a soccer match.

If Mark Stephenson, Julie Phillips and Gemma Parkin had torn and thrown pages of the Bible, would they have been found guilty of ‘religiously aggravated harassment’? Or have the British authorities simply taken it upon themselves to prosecute violators of Sharia blasphemy laws? Tearing up a Qur’an is a violation of Islamic law, not British law. Will Muslims be charged with ‘religiously aggravated harassment’ in Britain for their repeated claim that Moses and Jesus were Muslim prophets?” Read more.

Flashback: The Islamization Of Britain In 2013 – “The Muslim population of Britain topped 3.3 million by the end of 2013 to become around 5.2% of the overall population of 63 million, according to figures extrapolated from a recent study on the growth of the Muslim population in Europe. At the same time, opinion surveys consistently show that voters in Britain view Islam and the question of Muslim immigration as a top-ranked public concern… What follows is a chronological review of some of the main stories involving the rise of Islam in Britain during 2013.” Read more.

Flashback: British Imam: There Will Be More Murder, Beheadings On The Streets Of England – “This unrepentant imam, Anjem Choudary, is the same imam who contends that non-Muslims are all guilty of crimes against ‘Allah.’ During an interview with the BBC in 2005, Choudary asserted that only Muslims were innocent people. Non-Muslims ‘have not accepted Islam, and as far as we are concerned, that is a crime against [Allah]’ … According to Anjem Choudary and all like-minded followers of the ‘prophet’ of Islam, if you don’t believe in ‘Allah’ then you’re rejecting the ‘holy’ Qur’an. If you’re rejecting the ‘holy’ Qur’an you must therefore be embracing something else. And if you’re embracing something else, that could lead to deadly consequences …” Read more.

Close Shave: Bus-Size Asteroid Buzzes Earth, Comes Closer Than The Moon

05/03/2014 1 comment

Another one closer than the moon. And this one was only discovered a few days ago. Certainly makes you wonder how many are out there that they’ve yet to discover …

By Tariq Malik, Space.com – “A small asteroid about the size of a city bus zipped by Earth at a range closer than the moon early Saturday (May 3), but posed no threat to our planet.

The newly discovered asteroid 2014 HL129 came within 186,000 miles (299,338 kilometers) of Earth when it made its closest approach on Saturday morning, which is close enough to pass between the planet and the orbit of the moon. The average distance between the Earth and moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km).

You can watch a video animation of asteroid 2014 HL129’s orbit around the sun on Space.com. The asteroid is about 25 feet (7.6 meters) wide, according to NASA’s Asteroid Watch project based at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. It made its closest approach to Earth at 4:13 a.m. EDT (0813 GMT).

Saturday’s close shave by asteroid 2014 HL129 came just days after its discovery on Wednesday, April 28 …” Read more.

What If An Asteroid Hit The Earth? – “An asteroid striking our planet — it’s the stuff of science fiction… An asteroid impact is also the stuff of science fact… Let’s say that an asteroid the size of a house crashed on Earth at 30,000 mph. It would have an amount of energy roughly equal to the bomb that fell on Hiroshima — perhaps 20 kilotons. An asteroid like this would flatten reinforced concrete buildings up to half a mile from ground zero, and flatten wooden structures perhaps a mile and a half from ground zero. It would, in other words, do extensive damage to any city… if an asteroid strikes Earth, it will be a really, really bad day no matter how big it is.” Read more.

China: Islam Is Rising — Along With The Number Of Dead As Well

05/03/2014 3 comments

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros – green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [thērion – savage, brutal, bestial men] of the earth…”

Islam's Goal: Global Conquest

Islam’s Goal: Global Conquest

The Daily Star – “Recent deadly attacks in China that have been blamed on Islamist extremists are getting bolder and bloodier, targeting civilians rather than the authorities and further challenging Beijing’s ability to stop them.

The latest attack at a train station Wednesday in the far-western region of Xinjiang – where extremists among the Turkic Uighur Muslim population have been waging a simmering insurgency against Beijing for years – left three people dead and 79 injured, prompting Chinese President Xi Jinping to demand ‘decisive actions’ against terrorism.

Authorities said two of the dead were assailants, marking the attack as an apparent suicide bombing that hints at a further escalation in tactics, said Raffaello Pantucci, a terrorism expert at the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies in London.

Prior to that, in March, five knife-wielding men and women believed to be Uighurs slashed at crowds indiscriminately at a railway station in southwestern China, killing 29 people. And last year, three Uighurs rammed a vehicle into crowds in a suicide attack near the Forbidden City gate in the heart of Beijing, killing themselves and two tourists.

While these attacks are still relatively crude and bear little sign of specialized training, they seem to have an audaciousness and deliberateness that wasn’t present before, said Andrew Small, an expert on China and Central Asia at the German Marshall Fund in Washington, D.C.

‘The capacity of groups inside China to mount effective, politically targeted attacks does seem to be growing,’ Small said.

‘It’s a step beyond the sort of localized incidents in western Xinjiang that were taking off a few years ago.’

Embarrassingly, the latest incident came as Xi wrapped up a four-day trip to the region that included a visit to an anti-terror unit and bold rhetoric from the leader about the need to maintain social stability at all costs.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “After careful study, I have come to the conclusion that, judging from the description of events and their sequence provided for us in Scripture, the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” described in the first four Seals of Revelation 6 are four separate stages of the last-days Beast empire upon the earth — the empire of Islam… Islamic jihad has been the greatest mass murdering force in the history of humanity. As long as Islam has existed, it has never known peace… In Africa over 120 million Christians and animists have died over the last 1400 years of jihad. Approximately 270 million nonbelievers died over the last 1400 years for the glory of political Islam… And the persecution of Jews and Christians, and the atmosphere of Islamic wars upon the earth, continues to this very day.” Read more.
