The Jihad Seminar of Major Nidal M. Hasan

Rev Mark Durie of St Marys Anglican Church

The contents of a two-year old seminar presented by Major Nidal M. Hasan, the medico believed responsible for the Fort Hood massacre, were apparently recorded in the form of powerpoint slides.

These slides are in one sense nothing new.  They review the basics of Islam: the pillars and core beliefs,  the Koran, abrogation (‘later verses abrogate former ie: peaceful verses no longer apply’ – slide 35), the rewards for believers in paradise and punishments of hell for those who do not submit to Allah’s will, defensive and agressive jihad.  However, in addition, Major Hasan  explains the implications of this theological material for the lived situation of Muslims in the US armed forces. 

He is saying  that Muslims can experience problems in  the  military for two reasons.

One reason is the prohibition against Muslims killing other Muslims (‘whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is hell’ – slide 12).

The other is the requirement that Muslims wage war against non-believers in both defensive jihad (slides 37-41) and aggressive jihad (slides 42-48).  This command, he is saying, can be expected to be followed by devout, God-fearing Muslims (‘Allah expects full loyalty’ – slide 49), especially if they are persuaded that in so-doing they would be ‘fighting against the injustices of the “infidels,”‘ (slide 48). His point is that if US Muslim soldiers can be persuaded that fighting against fellow-Muslims is an injustice, this could trigger a deadly attack against fellow US soldiers instead, e.g. by means of ‘suicide bombing, etc’ (‘We love death more than you love life!’ – slide 48).

Reducing Abortions: The Untold Story of America’s Pregnancy Resource Centers

Passion 2 Serveby Kathleen Gilbert : Oct 6, 2009 : LifeSiteNews

“Because of the work of these unsung heroes, mothers and babies are rescued from the tragedy of abortion.”

(Washington, DC)—A groundbreaking report detailing the impact of thousands of pregnancy resource centers across America has been released by the Family Research Council.

Passion to Serve reportThe report, entitled A Passion to Serve: A Vision for Life lays out in detail the manifold contributions of the nation’s pregnancy resource centers to their communities, particularly to women, children, and families. The nature and scope of the pregnancy centers’ mission is outlined in statistical summaries, case studies and personal testimonies. The report includes the accolades of several public leaders of diverse backgrounds celebrating the movement’s unique contributions.

According to the report, pregnancy centers now assist an average of 5,500 Americans daily with sexuality-and pregnancy-related concerns. The report was introduced in the nation’s capital Thursday by the Family Research Council as well as presidents from three national pregnancy center networks that represent more than 2,300 cross-affiliates in all 50 states.

‘Worship God Quietly’ – Lambeth Council Orders Church

Andrea Minichiello Williams – Christian Legal Centre

A LONDON church has been told by Lambeth Council to reduce the volume of its worship.

In an extraordinary  decision, All Nations Church in Kennington, South London, has been served with a noise abatement notice by Lambeth council after complaints from a couple of local residents about the level of noise coming from the church.

This is the first complaint that the church has received since it began meeting at the premises in the 1960s. Church leaders have been ordered not to amplify its music or sermons – something which will make worship very difficult for the 600-strong congregation  – some of whom are elderly and hard of hearing.

The decision, which imposes a restriction on the freedom of expression of religion will, according to one of the church’s pastors, Victor Jibuike, seriously affect the congregation and potentially mean that some members will leave and worship elsewhere – something he does not want to see.

Australia’s Population Booms

Carolyn Moynihan | 30 Sep 2009 | 

Last week, as the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced a 2 per cent leap (439,000 people) in the country’s population in the year to March, a huge dust storm blew in from the arid interior to blanket much of Eastern Australia. Are the two things connected?

Green groups would probably say, yes. Others, maybe. “Dust storms are a natural phenomenon, but they are influenced by human activities and are now just as serious as traffic and industrial air pollution,” says Laurence Barrie, chief researcher at the World Meteorological Organisation in Geneva, which is working with 40 countries to develop a dust storm warning system.

Most of the recent population increase — almost 300,000 people — was from immigration. But the birth rate is up, too, with 160,000 babies born during the year. On that basis Australia’s population could “balloon” form its present 21.8 million to 35 million over the next 40 years.

Salvations & Deliverance as Holy Spirit fire falls in Moe & Hallam in Victoria

Pastor Daniel ministering in MoeDear family & friends in Christ,

1) What a mighty God we serve, the soon coming King of kings and LORD of lords!

We thank the Lord Jesus Christ for this awesome prophetic season in the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God that we are currently living in!

We are so excited to experience an increasing measure of the manifest presence of God at every Catch the Fire meeting across Australia, resulting in more people being healed, delivered, set free, souls won into the Kingdom of God, and more of the body of Christ being prepared for the second coming of our Bridegroom Saviour Jesus Christ!

Last weekend a mighty storm of united prayer arose before the heavenly throne of God at the Rise Up Australia prayer meeting in Melbourne as prayer warriors from across the body of Christ joined in the Spirit of prophetic intercession against the One World Government and Australia’s expected signing of the Global Warming Treaty in Copenhagen, Denmark in December of 2009.

As the body of Christ we are called to sound the trumpet of the Lord and let the people know what the devil is planning to do.  We continue to pray for the fulfillment of the perfect will of our Father in heaven as His Kingdom comes on earth in increasing measure!

Muslim ‘apostates’ in U.S. ask for protection (Group says Shariah law poses threat)

Washington Times  | 9/24/2009 | Julia Duin

Five ex-Muslims who founded a group called Former Muslims United put out a public appeal Thursday to the U.S. government for protection, saying the lives of thousands of “apostates from Islam” are in peril.

Speaking at Capitol Hill press conference, the Granada Hills, Calif., group cited the case of Fathima Rifqa Bary, a 17-year-old from Ohio who converted to Christianity four years ago. She fled to Florida this past summer in fears that her parents would murder her for “honor” reasons. Her father, the girl said in court filing, had already threatened to kill her.

Fathima first stayed with a pastor and his wife, then ended up in protective custody with Florida’s Department of Children and Families.

‘Prime Minister Kevin Rudd about to betray Australia’ / by Pastor Daniel

Prime Minister Kevin RuddDear friends and family in Christ,

Is Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the Labor government, who have betrayed the Christian voters after winning the last federal election, now about to betray the nation of Australia once again? In his recent 2GB Radio interview with Lord Mockton, Alan Jones from Sydney stated in his closing comments, “Is the Prime Minister about to betray us all?”

In December at the Global Warming Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, PM Kevin Rudd will relinquish Australia’s democratic rights to make decisions as a sovereign nation, by signing a treaty to a ONE WORLD GOVERMENT led by the United Nations.

Janet Albrechtsen’s article on climate change in the 28 October edition of the Australian refers to the United Nation’s ‘Copenhagen Plot’. The article deals with a draft of the climate change treaty, which she says is ‘aimed at creating a world government that would tax rich countries and give to poor ones’. As members know, the United Nations Climate Change Conference will take place at the Bella Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark from 7 to 18 December 2009. The conference includes the fifteenth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

We at Catch the Fire Ministries fought a 5 year battle for freedom of Speech and freedom of Religion in the state of Victoria due to a bad piece of legislation which became law in 2002 under the Labor administration. Thank God we won this battle which helped us regain our freedom of speech. Is our entire nation of Australia about to lose it forever?

CTFM team and their families at Pastor Daniel\'s homeDear family & friends in Christ,
 
The weekend gone by was a great weekend of fun, fellowship and absolutely amazing worship in the Spirit of God!

As many deceived people in the world and naive children walked the streets collecting sweets to celebrate Halloween on Saturday 31st October, a pagan festival giving glory to the devil, the Holy Spirit of God powerfully showed up at the Catch the Fire meetings in Melbourne!
 
On Saturday around 80 people from the Catch the Fire Ministry team joined with Pastor Daniel and his family to celebrate his belated birthday lunch at his home. It was certainly a great time of fun, delicious food and fellowship!

Terror Arrests and the “Misunderstood” Religion

Tarek MehannaPosted by Nonie Darwish on Oct 22nd, 2009 and filed under FrontPage

Today we have yet another terror-related arrest of a Muslim, Tarek Mehanna, who was plotting jihad terror attacks against U.S. shopping malls. But Americans are told to never link that to Islamic teachings.
Committed Muslims insist that Islam is misunderstood by the West.

Sensitivity training to Islam is forced upon U.S. government employees and teachers. They are told that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, implying that if they believe their eyes, ears and common sense, then they must be Islamophobes.

Muslim propaganda is cleverly wrapped in illogical strategies to get the Westerners confused about their own perceptions of Islam. For centuries Muslims lived with unchallenged, warped logic regarding their religion. Instead of examining non-Muslim fear of Muslim violence and oppression encouraged by Muslim scriptures, Muslims are trained to regard such complaints as an attack Islam itself. (more…)

YONGGI CHO’S FINAL SERMON? (Reflections on the Weasel Talk, Twigs and Twits Tragedy)

Written by Dr Robert McQuillan of Life Focus, (former AOG National Publications Director in Australia)

We were disgusted recently to learn of some pastors referring to seniors – senior ministries and parents – as ‘twigs.’ Some young people were even being advised not to listen to their parents because they’re past it, don’t know what they’re talking about. As for ‘older’ ministers, they too are over the hill, not with it and passed their ‘use by’ date!

This is ’weasel talk’ (unjustifiable, unprovable statements)! It is not only discourteous but a seriously wrong presumption and a gross ignoring of the need in these troubled days not to forsake the wisdom of the ‘elders – the experienced fathers and mothers – in Israel.’ (more…)

America as the last man standing / ‘In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?’

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of ParliamentHere is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission.  All is not well in the old world.  There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.  We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.  The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe.  Then, I will say a few things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing. (more…)

One World Government is almost here! Lord Monckton of British House of Lords on Youtube video and 2GB radio interview with Allan Jones

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Following are two links with very important information regarding a One World Government soon to be officially recognized by all nations in December of this year 2009!

These very alarming interviews are a MUST watch and listen for all who believe that end-time biblical prophecy is being fulfilled like never before! (Psalm 2, Revelation 13 & 17)

Pastor Daniel very clearly warned before the last political election against voting for a left-wing secular government in America and Australia.  Both nations, and many nations for that matter, are presently  reaping what they have sown, and sooner than most of us thought!  (Galatians 6:7-8) (more…)

Rev. Dr. Mark Durie’s speech in Washington D.C. on Hate Speech Laws, Islamic Blasphemy Scriptures and Freedom of Speech: The Case of Australia

The Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom held a discussion with The Rev. Dr. Mark Durie on September 15, 2009, 12:00 – 2:00 PM  (Hudson Institute, Washington , D.C. Headquarters)  

Click on the following link and then on the audio or video link to watch or listen to this talk…. http://markdurie.blogspot.com/

In December 2004, pastors Daniel Scot and Daniel Nalliah of the evangelical group Catch the Fire Ministries (CTFM) were found guilty by an Australian judge of religious vilification for criticizing Islam in the course of a religious seminar and were ordered to publicly disavow their beliefs. Four and a half years after the lawsuit was brought, the pastors ultimately prevailed in the courts. Pastor Scot, who had grown up in Pakistan and fled the country after being accused there of the capital crime of blasphemy, remarked that religious vilification statutes like that under which he had been convicted in Australia were “blasphemy laws in disguise” and “sharia by stealth.” (more…)
