Muslims Post Qur’anic Verse Near Nazareth Church Stating Non-Muslims are Going to Hell

04/23/2011 Leave a comment

By David Gardner – “In a square in Nazareth, right below the Basilica of the Annunciation, a Koranic verse warns that ‘whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers’. Yet it is the spectre of losing in the here-and-now that most haunts the dwindling number of adherents to Christianity in the land of its birthplace.

In the hometown of Jesus, where it all began two millennia ago, Christians feel under siege. This fear is not limited to Nazareth or the Holy Land. Across the Arab world, Christians ask whether they are an endangered species: threatened by Islamist radicals; forced by limited opportunities at home to seek new lives abroad; accused of complicity in the schemes of foreign predators; and now menaced by the wave of revolution ripping through the region — which some fear could uncover the submerged hard-wiring of sectarianism.”  Read more.

Michigan Jails Pastor to Avert ‘Muslim Riots’

04/23/2011 Leave a comment

Regardless of what one may think about Terry Jones and him burning the Qur’an as a protest against radical Islamism, something is terribly wrong in America when the Land of the Free begins to deny someone their First Amendment rights by denying freedom of expression and then jailing them. This action says only one thing to would-be Islamists: threaten violence, and you’ll get your way.  Ignoring the US Constitution and denying someone their right to peaceful protest sets a dangerous precedent.  The question now is, where will this lead?

BY Alan Kurtz – “In a Good Friday showdown, Chief Judge Mark Somers of Michigan’s 19th District Court saved countless lives from Muslim rioters by torching the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Somers, a Methodist, figuratively stood in the doorway of the Islamic Center of America, the continent’s largest mosque, to shield it from a planned protest by Dr. Terry Jones, Qur’an-burning pastor of a charismatic Christian church in Gainesville, Florida.

The [Islamic Center of America], which bills itself as ‘more than a place of worship but an Institution and a beacon for Islam in North America,’ is located in Dearborn, a third of whose 98,000 inhabitants are Muslims. Naturally this attracted Pastor Jones like a bee to honey for a demonstration against jihad, Sharia, and other tenets of radical Islamism.

Although Jones made clear that Qur’an burning was not on his agenda, local authorities balked. After the City of Dearborn denied Jones a permit to protest outside the mosque, he was given the option of demonstrating in a designated ‘free speech zone.’ Failing to understand how free speech can be zoned, Pastor Jones declined and reiterated his intention to peacefully protest at the mosque, permitted or not.

Wayne County prosecutors thereupon sought court-ordered prior restraint, arguing that the threat of violence was too great to allow Jones anywhere near the mosque. Assistant Prosecutor Robert Moran warned that ‘people could die’ should the protest proceed.”  Read more.

Meanwhile, Muslims praise Allah while the US Constitution is trampled, a constitution that they themselves will quote and point to when it comes to building mosques throughout the United States (cough, such as the one near Ground Zero, cough):

Iran FM Urges Egypt to be ‘Courageous’, Upgrade Diplomatic Ties

04/23/2011 Leave a comment

“Iran on Saturday urged Egyptian officials to find the courage necessary to resume full diplomatic ties with Tehran.

‘Egypt should take a courageous step for upgrading diplomatic ties with Iran,’ Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told official news agency IRNA.

Salehi said Cairo should resist the opposition from the United States and Israel, and take an independent decision to bring the two Islamic countries closer together.

Iran has several times said it was ready to resume full diplomatic ties with Cairo, but former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak rejected the overtures for 15 years.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi declared last month a readiness to promote bilateral ties and ‘open a new page with Iran’ in the post-Mubarak era.”  Read more.

Islamism and the Future of the Christians of the Middle East

04/23/2011 Leave a comment

By George Weigel – “… The Hoover Institution Press at Stanford University recently published a short booklet by Dr. Malik [of the Lebanese American University] that should be required reading for anyone concerned with the fate of ancient Christian communities throughout the Levant, including the Holy Land. Islamism and the Future of the Christians of the Middle East can be read in one sitting. Its brevity is an advantage: a concise mind and an accomplished pen distilling a vast amount of knowledge and experience into 68 pages. Let me try, with far greater brevity, to highlight several of the book’s key points.

1) Middle East Christians today have had two distinct historical experiences. One is an experience of freedom. The other is an experience of being a dhimmi, a second-class citizen existing on the sufferance of the Muslim majority in an Islamic state.

2) 90 percent of Christian Arabs live in conditions of dhimmitude today, including the Copts in Egypt, the Chaldeans and Assyrians in Iraq, and the Greek Orthodox and Melkites in Syria, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority. These are the Christians at greatest risk from Islamism and jihadism.

3) Christians who have been subjugated for generations have, over time, ‘lost all sense of what it meant to experience a life of true liberty.’ Thus they have developed a variety of survival strategies which, having been thoroughly internalized, now seem natural: kowtowing to authority; accepting benefactions from dictators like Saddam Hussein in Iraq or the Assad dynasty in Syria; remaining silent in the face of atrocities committed against Christians by Islamists and other Muslims; blaming the current problems of Christians in the Middle East on that great bugbear, the State of Israel.”  Read more.

Muslims in Egypt Rename Holy Friday to ‘Bloody Friday’ for Christians

04/23/2011 Leave a comment

“Muslims in Abu Qurqas have marked their homes with the statement ‘There is no God but Allah’ and pictures of Ka’ba. This is in preparation for tomorrow’s planned attacks on the homes of all Coptic homes in Abu Qurqas, a day they deemed as ‘Bloody Friday’ This also coincides with Holy Friday for the Coptic Christians.

For several days, the Christians have been under attack although today after the Thursday liturgy there was an eerie calm. Although security forces have prohibited any filming of damages, the video associated with this article was taken without notice by authorities. While there is no violence today, eye witnesses say that there is a large gathering of Muslims in the Mosques in Abu Qurqas. The Copts are worried for tomorrow. Eye witnesses say there is a build up of Muslims from surrounding regions ready and armed for attacks tomorrow. Cars full of weapons have been spotted including one which was intercepted by security forces.” Read more…

Suspected Islamists Burn Down Christian’s Homes in Ethiopia

“NAIROBI, Kenya, April 21 (CDN) — A Christian near Ethiopia’s southern town of Moyale said suspected Islamic extremists on March 29 burned down his two thatched-grass homes.

Evangelist Wako Hanake of the Mekane Yesus Church told Compass he had been receiving anonymous messages warning him to stop converting Muslims to Christ. The Muslims who became Christians included several children.

‘Inside the house were iron sheets and timber stored in preparation for putting up a permanent house,’ said Hanake, who is in his late 30s. ‘I have lost everything.'”  Read more.

“ISTANBUL, April 21 (CDN) — A father and daughter who fled Egypt to Syria after spending two and a half years in hiding for becoming Christians have arrived in France and yesterday applied for asylum there, human rights advocates said.

Maher Ahmad El-Mo’otahssem Bellah El-Gohary, 58, had become the target of Islamic ill will in Egypt after he tried to change the religious affiliation on his national identification card from Muslim to Christian. He and his daughter, 17-year-old Dina Mo’otahssem, arrived in Paris from Syria on March 30 after having fled to Damascus on Feb. 22 in the wake of the revolution in Egypt that deposed then-President Hosni Mubarak.”  Read more.

Islamist Leader Threatens Jihad if Child Marriages are Banned

04/22/2011 Leave a comment

Weazel Zippers – “Notorious pro-Taliban Islamist clergy in Bangladesh, Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini has threatened to wage jihad in the country if the government will pass any law banning child marriage.

He said, two hundred thousand Jihadists of his group are ready to ‘sacrifice’ lives if any such law, which goes against ‘Koran and Sunnah’ will be passed by the current government in the country.

Mufti Amini said, ‘Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, who also married minor Ayesha, when she was just eight years old’.

He said, ‘The new law initiated by the current government will put the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.’

Fazlul Haque Amini further said, ‘Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.'”  Read more.

Terror Warning: Hezbollah to Attack Israelis Abroad

04/22/2011 Leave a comment

By Hanan Greenberg – “The defense establishment has recently obtained exact information regarding Hezbollah’s intention to carry out a terrorist attack at a destination that is frequented by Israelis abroad, in retaliation for the assassination of a senior official over three years ago.

Hezbollah blames Israel for taking out its chief of operations, Imad Mugniyah, in February 2008.

According to defense establishment sources, similar intelligence was uncovered in the past, and terrorist attacks were consequently thwarted in various locations outside of Israel. In this case it appears that Hezbollah is preparing to carry out an attack that cannot be traced back to the organization, in order to avoid triggering a confrontation on Israel’s northern border.”  Read more.

Islamist Preacher Ordered to Leave Germany Immediately or Be Arrested

04/22/2011 1 comment

“A radical Muslim preacher has been ordered by German authorities to depart the country immediately. The move comes after he attended an Islamist rally in Frankfurt that took place despite the objections of city leaders.

Citing security concerns, the authorities said if he doesn’t depart on his own, he could be arrested and forcibly deported.

Philips, who was born in Jamaica and raised in Canada, spoke in Frankfurt earlier this week on the subject “Islam, the Misunderstood Religion” alongside German Islamist preacher Pierre Vogel – who authorities have no way to deport – after a court allowed the event over the objections of Frankfurt officials.

Arid Uka, the 21-year-old Kosovar who has admitted to killing two US airmen in Frankfurt in March, is thought to have established contact to radical Islamist preachers including Vogel before the shooting.”  Read more.

‘I’ll Never Leave the Lord’ – Killed For Being a Christian in Egypt

“Hany was born in 1985 to a Christian family that lives way below the poverty line in a very small village in upper Egypt that does not appear on any of the Egyptian maps.  Hany grew up as a Christian.  Like all youth, he had dreams of completing his military service, working to support himself, marrying a young lady from his village and having a family of his own.  But the dream was interrupted by the unexpected during his military service…”

Why Islam is Taking Over America

04/21/2011 Leave a comment

By MARTEL SOBIESKEY – “Beware America, I bring you news of your own death; ‘a pale shroud laid out by your own hand’. IDIOTICALLY, you have given religion status to an enemy invader called Islam; thereby egregiously violating the foremost principles of national security, sovereignty and warfare: An enemy invader must never (never) be classified as a religion.

Doing so is equivalent to a mad doctor injecting deadly cancer cells into a healthy patient in this case America. Look how Muslims are ‘shoving mosques down our throat’ even at the hallowed ‘ground zero’ of 9/11. They ‘thumb their noses’ and jeer us, adding insult to injury. Why? Islam is ‘programmed’ to bring down America and knows no limits. M.A. Khan in his excellently informative book, Islamic Jihad: A Legacy Of Forced Conversion, Imperialism And Slavery states:

‘the perpetuation of a global Islamic rule for eternity is the ultimate goal of Allah’

Perhaps this is why Dr. Wafa Sultan has named her book A GOD WHO HATES emphasizing Islam’s God (Allah) hates all things non-Muslim and utilizes this hatred to fuel the fervor for global Islamic rule…” Read more.
