Muslim leaders must take a stand

Herald Sun (Melbourne) ^ | 12th February 2015 | Andrew Bolt

TWO more Muslim men were arrested in Sydney yesterday for — police alleged — plotting to kill civilians.

But why have none of the many men arrested so far for alleged terror attacks here planned to kill moderate Muslim clerics?

Australian historian Christopher Clark, in his widely admired Sleepwalkers, points out “one abiding strand in the logic of terrorist movements, namely that reformers and moderates are more to be feared than outright enemies and hardliners”.

Terrorists hate compromisers. Islamists murdered Egyptian president Anwar Sadat for making peace with Israel.

But which Muslim clerics are in danger of being too moderate?

The only threats I’ve heard of were those reportedly sent to a Sydney doctor, Jamal Rifi, who is indeed a brave peacemaker, but no cleric.

The fact, I fear, is that there aren’t Muslim religious leaders here truly trying to reform Islam or issue fatwas damning the likes of Islamic State to hell.

Christians Flee to Pakistan Ghetto as Blasphemy Allegations Rise Against Minorities

February 11, 2015 – The Associated Press – Muhammed Muheisen

This slum on the outskirts of Pakistan’s capital looks like many others ringing it, with dirt roads and cement-block homes, until a passer-by sees a simple black banner bearing a Bible verse about Jesus Christ’s resurrection.

The Christian Colony on the edge of Islamabad is home to many Christians who once lived elsewhere in the capital, but fled in fear after a string of blasphemy allegations and killings. In this country of 180 million people, where Islam is the state religion and 95 percent of people are Muslims, Christians represent just a sliver of the population.

Most face daily discrimination and eke out a living by holding low-paying jobs, like street sweeping. However, they’ve carved out their own lives in a country that faces near-daily attacks by Islamic extremists.

“I wish to save my people by providing them faith and some education,” said Pastor Orangzaib Maseeh, who teaches locals how to read at his simple, open-air church. “I want them to have a life of a normal person. They used to have one.”

MEF Research and Writing How Best to Fight the ‘Islamophobia Industry’

by Burak Bekdil – Hürriyet Daily News –February 4, 2015

Time flies… It was nearly a decade ago that Turkish and Spanish leaders institutionalized their efforts to build interfaith dialogue and peace between the Islamic and Western worlds. Since then, at least a couple of million (overwhelmingly Muslim) people have been killed (overwhelmingly by Muslims in sectarian and other wars). Keeping a count of terrorist attacks on Muslim and non-Muslim targets by jihadists of this or that holy fraction would require meticulous academic work.

Today, few recall or talk about the initiative that went with the fancy name, “Alliance of Civilizations.” The world instead debates grimmer topics that do not speak of alliances, but rather of mis-alliances.

For all the things that have gone wrong, Turkey’s top cleric, Professor Mehmet Görmez, blames the “Islamophobia industry.” In the words of Professor Görmez, it is Islamophobia that “is trying to spread fear to hearts by using clashes and incidents in the Islamic world for cruel propaganda against Muslims.”

Mr. Görmez’s own Alliance of Civilizations initiative has a longer name: The Peace and Moderation Contact Group. A “letter of goodwill” prepared by Islamic scholars will soon be shared with heads of states and religious leaders. President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu were the first (lucky) people to receive the “letter of goodwill.”

RUAP Media Release – Reclaim Australia Rallies in Melbourne & 15 Cities across our Nation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  WEDNESDAY 25th MARCH 2015

Come and join thousands of patriotic Aussies from many nationalities who call Australia home, as they take a stand to Reclaim Australia at rallies held across Australia in many cities, including Melbourne on Saturday 4th April 2015.

This grass root movement started off with just a few Aussies who were sick of staying silent while Islam, through Multiculturalism, was slowly but surely taking away all of our rights and freedoms. They decided to call for a Reclaim Australia Rally to be held in Sydney, but within weeks it has spread across Australia, and now there will be some 15 rallies held on 4th April in most capital cities and some country towns.

On the request of the organizers of Reclaim Australia, Daniel Nalliah the National President of Rise Up Australia Party will be the key note speaker in Melbourne at 1pm on the steps of Federation Square on 4th April.

Mr Nalliah stated this morning from his office in Hallam Victoria, “I am so pleased to stand in support of the Reclaim Australia Rallies and to speak at the Melbourne rally as Rise Up Australia Party’s motto is to Keep Australia Australian.

We must Reclaim what we have lost up to now.

I encourage everyone who loves Australia, and wants to see her protected for our children and grandchildren, to bring your Aussie flags and be at a rally, wherever you live. Please make every effort to get there.

I believe that this is a real grassroots movement of people’s power to stand up against the spread of Islamism in the West, particularly using the gateway of Multiculturalism as cover.

We must stand up now and speak out against the evil agenda of fundamental Islam. We cannot stay silent any longer.  Look forward to seeing you there.”

President Obama and ‘Naked, Blind Anti-Semitism’

By Lauri B. Regan

Last week, pro-Palestinian protestors disrupted a New York City Council meeting yelling slogans and brandishing a Palestinian flag. The demonstration was particularly offensive given that it occurred as council members were voting on a resolution commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

In an impassioned response, Councilman David Greenfield observed that every Middle East country — except Israel — is not democratic and persecutes people of other faiths, gays, women, and those with opinions inconsistent with those of their governments.  He concluded, “What you saw here today was naked, blind anti-Semitism.”

Greenfield’s point is critical.  Those who attack and demonize Israel for its imperfections in the face of the atrocities committed by its Arab neighbors are not just hypocrites.  There is only one explanation for their irrational condemnations: hatred of Jews. And there is no difference between protests by pro-Palestinians and protests that regularly emanate from the White House.

Lecrae Opens Up About Abortion and Encourages Others to Come Into the Light

February 01, 2015 – Desiring God

As the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade draws near, we are reminded of how large and formidable the abortion industry has become in the United States. Planned Parenthood survives with a heavy dose of government funding, even as overall abortion numbers are down and seem to indicate the entire industry is diminishing.

The battle between life and choice is being fought one story at a time.

On one side is 25-year-old Emily Letts, who uploaded to YouTube, as a “positive” story, what she claims is her abortion procedure (the actual procedure is shielded from view and the authenticity of Letts’ video remains in question). It became an overnight viral phenomenon, spawning websites dedicated to gathering up more stories from women who seem to harbor no regrets for their choice, with the intent of alleviating the private shame.

On the other side are those who know such deep guilt can only be relieved by the open confession of sin, a story Lecrae Moore lived out firsthand, and a message he’s now willing to share. It was honesty that opened the door of healing for the 35-year-old Grammy Award winning hip-hop artist who has come forward to admit he advocated for the destruction of his own child in 2002.

President Obama: On Bowing to Kings

By Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison , CP Op-Ed Contributors – January 26, 2015|

t was a stunning sight. President Obama was in London for a summit meeting in early 2009. He bowed low before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. President Obama had apparently never learned that Americans do not bow and the American President, especially, should never bow to a King.

Now, with the death of King Abdullah, President Obama has issued a statement that is, to put it charitably, about as far from the truth as the East is from the West. The White House issued a warm statement of appreciation of Abdullah’s legacy.

To Mr. Obama, King Abdullah was “a candid leader who had the courage of his convictions, including his passionate belief in the importance of the U.S.-Saudi relationship as a force for stability and security in the Middle East.”

Should we laugh? Or cry? During Mr. Obama’s six years, the always-turbulent Mideast has boiled over. Countries that were thought to be reliable allies of the U.S.—like NATO Member Turkey, like Egypt—have been moving farther away from their pro-American stance.

What a great Miracle with Benjamin Netanyahu re-elected as PM of Israel

Dear family & friends in Christ,

I am sure you all know by now that Benjamin Netanyahu was re-elected as Prime Minister of Israel.  Just for the record, I do know that the government yet needs to be formed together with other minor parties.

As I watched news heading up to the election, the predictions were that he will not make it. But now that he is in, the left media seemed to be shocked as to how this happened.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/26723311/israeli-prime-minister-re-elected/

Well, glory to God as I know that millions of Christians around the world stormed heaven in prayer for this great miracle. Thank so very much for doing so ,as this victory is a victory just not for Israel, but it is a victory for the whole world.

Why is this victory so important? After living in Saudi Arabia, I know that in the war on Islamic terror, Israel is right in the front line of this war. I don’t think any other nation in the world can understand the danger and threat of Islam to the whole world as Israel does.

Like it or not, the Jewish people are a chosen bunch of people by God placed right in the middle of the Middle East and they know best how to deal with Islam. A visit to the Middle East will never give you the true nature and mission of Islam.  However, if you have live in the Middle East, you will know as to why PM Benjamin Netanyahu stands so strong against the spirit of Islam and refuses to be politically correct.

The Cancer of Multiculturalism

By Walter Williams – Feb. 25, 2015 – Jewish World Review

President Barack Obama surprised many at the National Prayer Breakfast when he lectured us, “Lest we get on our high horse and think this (barbarity) is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.” Obama went on to explain, “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often (were) justified in the name of Christ.” In Obama’s mind, Western outrage at Islamic barbarism should be tempered by the remembrance of what Christians did a thousand years ago in the name of Christ. Plus, that outrage should be chastened by our own history of slavery and Jim Crow.

President Obama’s vision is that of a man brainwashed through an academic vision of multiculturalism, in which American exceptionalism has no place. It’s a vision that has been shaped by a longtime association with people who hate our country, people such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Weather Underground leader and Pentagon bomber William Ayers and Ayers’ onetime fugitive wife, Bernardine Dohrn. A vision that sees a moral equivalency between what Christians did centuries ago and today’s Islamic savagery is quite prevalent in academia. It’s part of what’s worshipped on most college campuses as diversity and multiculturalism.

College campus idiots — and that includes faculty members and administrators — call for the celebration of and respect for all cultures. In their eyes, it’s racist Eurocentrism to think that Western values and culture are superior to others. But that’s the height of stupidity. Ask your campus multiculturalist who believes in cultural equivalency: Is forcible female genital mutilation, as practiced in nearly 30 sub-Saharan African and Middle Eastern countries, a morally equivalent cultural value? Slavery is practiced in Sudan and Niger; is that a cultural equivalent? In most of the Middle East, there are numerous limits on women — such as prohibitions on driving, employment, voting and education. Under Islamic law, in some countries, female adulterers face death by stoning, and thieves face the punishment of having their hand severed. Some multiculturalists are members of campus LGBT groups. Ask them to what extent the Muslim culture would tolerate their lifestyle.

What Saudi Arabia’s coming struggle means for America

Jewish World Review – By David Ignatius – Published Jan. 23, 2015

The death of King Abdullah begins a period of generational change in the oil kingdom that may last for several years. Crown Prince Salman, the nominal successor, is elderly and infirm, as is the next in line, Prince Muqrin. The Saudi royal family, which has proven itself adept at survival, will be struggling in the next days and months to decide who in the next generation should be positioned for eventual power.

Saudi Arabia’s opaque and often repressive political system mystifies outsiders, especially at times like this, when the leadership of the kingdom is a critical factor in the regional balance of power. Saudi Arabia is the heart, and the pocketbook, of the Sunni Arab world. A leadership vacuum in Riyadh echoes from Yemen to Syria, and all the places in between.

Abdullah’s death comes as Saudi Arabia, and the Sunni world it leads, are vexed as never before by the power of Iran and its Shiite Muslim proxies. Iran’s allies control four key Arab capitals: Damascus, Baghdad, Beirut and Sanaa. The Saudis have raged against Iranian power, and tried to finance covert operations to counter it, but they have failed everywhere they have tried. Many in the kingdom blame the United States for these reversals, but they should be more self-critical: This has fundamentally been a failure of Sunni, and especially Saudi, leadership.

The seeds of 18 year old Jake Bilardi’s death-by-Islam were sown when Australian History and the Bible were chucked out of Aussie schools. Without a moral compass, and sense of identity, young lives will continue to be hijacked by our enemies! The greatest of which could well be the DEATH CULT OF ISLAM.

UK Home Secretary: “Without its Muslims, Britain would not be Britain”

January 18, 2015 By Robert Spencer

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“I never thought I would see the day when members of the Jewish community in the United Kingdom would say they were fearful of remaining here in the United Kingdom.” The hopelessly confused Ms. May doesn’t seem to realize that the Jews without whom Britain would not be Britain are fearful of remaining there because of the Muslims without whom Britain would not be Britain.

Also, a very good case can be made that “without its Jews Britain would not be Britain,” as there is a very long history of Jews in Britain. It is mostly an unhappy history, and those ugly times are returning, but it is undeniable that Jews have contributed to what makes Britain Britain. But “without its Muslims, Britain would not be Britain”? Really? Theresa May must therefore think that Britain wasn’t Britain until the last few decades, when Britain for the first time in its history began to have a significant Muslim presence.

Theresa May is a disgrace. Then again, so is the rest of the Cameron government, and its opposition. Britain is racing to ruin, courtesy of Theresa May and her ilk.

Rev. Graham: Christians Are ‘Being Slaughtered by The Muslims’ Who ‘Are Emulating the Prophet Mohammed’

By Shoebat Foundation on March 9, 2015

The Rev. Franklin Graham says that just as he tries to “emulate” Jesus, who was “a man of peace,” Muslims try to emulate their leader, who “was a man of war.”

“Muhammad was a man of war and he killed many people,” Graham told Tucker Carlson on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday. “Jesus Christ came as a man of peace, and as a follower of Christ I follow him and I want to emulate Him. But the followers of Islam are emulating the prophet Muhammad, and that’s what you’re seeing carried out.”

“We have to be very careful and understand that Islam — the teachings of Islam — are militant,” the president of the Samaritan’s Purse charity said. ” I’m talking about, when you read the Quran, when you read the Surra, it’s very militant.”

According to Graham, one of the reasons for the rise of Christian persecution in the Middle East was the fall of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

“When Iraq was invaded by our country — and I’m not saying this was right or wrong, I’m just saying it’s a fact — there was a large Christian minority. Saddam Hussein gave them quite a lot of freedom,” he explained.
