Sweden Plans to Deport Former Imam Who Converted to Christianity
“If anyone changes his religion, kill him” (cf. Bukhari vol. 9, bk. 84, no. 57). What is wrong with many Western countries? Are they that ignorant of the fact that it is an automatic death sentence for anyone who converts from Islam to another religion? We should all be doing everything in our power to save this man and others like him, not deporting him back to a country where genocide against Christians is taking place on a daily basis.
By James Heiser – “A former imam who converted to Christianity is facing extradition from Sweden to his native Iraq, where he may face imprisonment or death for his “apostasy” from Islam. According to an article at Dagen.se (translated by Google):
A former imam, who lives in Karlskoga and who converted to Christianity must be deported to Iraq, the Administrative Court of Appeal has decided.
Bengt Sjoberg, local politician from Filipstad and heavily involved in refugee issues, said that the former Imam [had] been baptized in the Baptist church in Karlskoga and openly share[d] [his] faith with others. ‘This is absolutely horrible. This is a genuine conversion and many of us can testify that there is a man who lives as a Christian.'” Read more.
Arab League to Appeal for Gaza ‘No-Fly Zone’
It was only a matter of time before the Arab League, hot off the heels of their success in convincing the UN Security Council to implement a no-fly zone over Libya to protect the al Qaeda-linked rebels, would set their sights on Gaza. So let me get this straight — the Arab League wanted al Qaeda-supported rebels protected, and now they want a second terrorist organization, Hamas, protected too? Am I missing something here?
By William EDWARDS – “AFP – Arab League chief Amr Mussa said on Sunday the organisation will ask the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza, which Israel has pounded with air strikes in response to rocket fire.
Mussa told an emergency meeting of Arab League ambassadors that ‘the Arab bloc in the United Nations has been directed to ask for the convention of the Security Council to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza and impose a no-fly zone.’
Israeli and Palestinian officials were on Sunday floating a ceasefire to end fighting in the coastal strip where Israeli air strikes have killed at least 18 people since Thursday.” Read more.
Egypt Revolution Turns More Islamic, More Anti-Israel
By Ryan Jones – “For those who thought the Egyptian revolution is done and past, think again. Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak may be gone, but the country is currently being ruled by a temporary military regime, which means there are various forces still vying for future control of the Middle East’s largest military power.
And with the world’s attention now diverted elsewhere, the revolution in Cairo is starting to take on a more overtly Islamic and anti-Israel flavor.” Read more.

Muslim Immigrants in Italy Don’t Get Their Way, Riot With Shouts of ‘Allahu Akbar’
A Church at Lampedusa Island, Italy takes in a group of Tunisian Muslim immigrants fleeing their war-torn country, giving them shelter, food, and safe haven. Then they burn the Church down and riot. Great way to show gratitude to a country that cared enough to let you walk on its soil.
Saudi Arabia: Where the Public Display of Bibles Can Lead to Arrest
“26 million people live in Saudi Arabia. Over 95% are Muslim and Christians make up a little more than 3% of the total population. In Saudi Arabia the practice of any other religion except fundamentalist Sunni Islam is forbidden; prohibition of professing any other religion than Islam is grounded on the belief that Saudi Arabia is holy ground.
Temples, churches, pagodas are prohibited, as well as public displays of religious objects and private religious gatherings.
The following is an interview with Prof. Camille Eid, journalist, author, professor at the University of Milan and expert on the Middle Eastern Churches.
Q) Saudi Arabia is a hereditary monarchy based on the foundation of Wahhabi Islam. What is this branch of Islam?
A) Wahhabism is a new doctrine of Islam. Its founder is Abd-al Wahhab who was a religious scholar of the Hanafi Islam, which is the strictest doctrine of Islam. He decided that all innovations – ‘Bida’ is the term in Arabic – in Islam should be eliminated. A visit to a cemetery for instance is considered a bida-innovation and is prohibited. You cannot do anything that the Prophet Mohammed and his companions did not do.” Read more.
Three Churches Attacked, Egyptian Military Sides With Radical Muslims
(AINA) — In the last two weeks three attacks on churches were undertaken by Salafis or Islamic Fundamentalists in Egypt. The Salafis demanded churches move to locations outside communities and be forbidden from making repairs, ‘even if they are so dilapidated that the roofs will collapse over the heads of the congregation,’ says Father Estephanos Shehata of Samalut Coptic Diocese.
The latest of these incidents took place in the village of Kamadeer, in Samalout, Minya province on April 5, which escalated to the point where it was feared the church would be torched and demolished, as was done in the case of St. George and St. Mina Church in village of Soul, Atfif, on March 5 (AINA 3-5-2011). For three days Muslims occupied the entrance to St. John the Beloved Church in the village of Kamadeer with their mats, praying and sleeping there while thousands of village Copts staged a sit-in for three continuous days in front of the Minya governorate building, vowing not to leave until they got their church back. ‘Even if it takes one year, we will still be here,’ said Fr. Youssab in the rally.” Read more.
Haaretz WikiLeaks Exclusive ‘Hezbollah Expected to Launch 100 Missiles a Day at Tel Aviv’
By Yossi Melman – “Israel expects the next war against Hezbollah will last two months, during which 24,000 to 36,000 rockets and missiles are expected to be launched at Israel − about 6,000 of them aimed at Tel Aviv, Wikileaks documents reveal.
Telegrams sent from the U.S. Embassy summing up talks between American and Israeli officials in November 2009 cite a Mossad official as saying Hezbollah is expected to launch 400-600 missiles at Israel a day − 100 of which will be aimed at Tel Aviv, over the course of two months.” Read more.
Destroying One Koran vs. Destroying Many Christians
By Raymond Ibrahim – “The now infamous Koran burning by Florida pastor Terry Jones has created hysteria in the Muslim world. In Afghanistan alone, some twenty people, including U.N. workers, have been killed and beheaded to screams of ‘Allahu Akbar!’ Western leaders around the globe—including Obama and members of Congress—have unequivocally condemned Jones’ actions (without bothering to point out that freedom of expression is a prized American liberty). Many are even blaming the deaths in Afghanistan directly on Jones; Bill O’Reilley says he has ‘blood on his hands.’
Yet, as Western leaders rush to profess their abhorrence at what one American did to one inanimate book, let’s take a quick look at what many Muslims are doing to many living and breathing Christians around the Islamic world—to virtually no media coverage or Western condemnation:” Read more.
Moderate Cleric Speaking Against Radical Islam is Blown to Bits
By PARVAIZ BUKHARI And TOM WRIGHT – “SRINAGAR, India—An improvised explosive device detonated outside a mosque in Srinagar, the capital of India’s portion of the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir, killing a moderate Muslim cleric and showing how militants are still able to mount attacks despite a massive security crackdown by Indian forces.
The cleric, Maulana Showkat Ahmad Shah, was entering a mosque in the old part of Srinagar to deliver Friday prayers when the bomb went off. One other person was injured and there was little damage. Police said the small explosive was tied to a bicycle at the back entrance to the mosque and was detonated as Mr. Shah entered the compound.” Read more.
At Least 11 Dead in Massacre at Rio de Janeiro School, Killer Said To Have ‘Gotten Closer to Islam’ Recently
“RIO DE JANEIRO — At least 11 people, mostly children, died Thursday and more that 15 were wounded when an armed man attacked a school in Realengo in the poor suburbs of Rio de Janeiro…
Police Col. Djalma Beltrami said the killer used two handguns and a lot of ammunition. The suspect left behind a letter, in which he anticipated committing suicide after the attack. Beltrami, however, gave no details of any possible motive.
