A Century Later, Turkey Still Won’t Come to Terms with the Armenian Genocide

April 27, 2015 – The National Review – By David Pryce-Jones  

The Turks in 1915 destroyed the minority of Armenians in their midst, killing probably as many as a million and a half, and driving hundreds of thousands into exile. Such a nation-wide exhibition of human brutality takes its lasting place in the collective memory. Yet Turkish officials and spokesmen for the past hundred years have refused to accept responsibility for this great crime, much less apologize for it.

They contest the numbers of victims. A world war had opened, and bad things happen in war everywhere. Armenians, they like to say, were making common cause with the Russian enemy, and ethnic cleansing was therefore a security measure. Turks as Muslims were waging jihad, but Armenians as Christian infidels had brought it all on themselves. In “Minorities,” one of his most judicious essays, Elie Kedourie ascribes much of the blame to the handful of Armenians who had let nationalist ideology take possession of them, a malady or infection “eating up the fabric of settled society.” In his summary of their fate, “the Armenians were forced to be free.”

Political Commentator Glenn Beck Wonders Why ‘No One’ in U.S. Cares for Christians’ Plight in Middle East

By Isaiah Narciso (news@gospelherald.com) Apr 21, 2015

Conservative political commentator Glenn Beck brought up a controversial issue on Monday, asking why Christians in the United States haven’t done more to help their fellow brethren, who are being persecuted in the Middle East.

In a report filed by Erica Ritz of The Blaze, Beck looked at how American Christians reacted when they defended the “religious freedom” rights a pizza parlor in Indiana. He then noticed how little attention was paid in the U.S. to Christians being persecuted across the Middle East.

“Why does no one care?” Beck said. “When we talked about a Christian pizza parlor just the other day, Christians responded in large numbers. … Here people are getting executed. Shouldn’t the response be exponentially greater when Christians are literally being beheaded and crucified, children being raped and killed every single day?”

Beck then shared a graphic video released by the terror group known as ISIS murdering Christian captives in Libya. (more…)

The ghastly shadow of Munich

By Victor Davis Hanson – Jewish World Review – April 2, 2015

The Western capitulation to Adolf Hitler in the 1938 Munich Agreement is cited as classic appeasement that destroyed Czechoslovakia, backfired on France and Britain, and led to World War II.

All of that is true.

But there was much more that caused the Munich debacle than simple Western naiveté. The full tragedy of that ill-fated agreement should warn us on the eve of the Obama’s administration’s gullible agreement with Iran on nuclear proliferation.

Fable one is the idea that most people saw right through the Munich folly. True, Europeans knew that Hitler had never once told the truth and was already murdering German citizens who were Jews, communists or homosexuals. But Europeans did not care all that much.

Instead, the Western world was ecstatic over the agreement. After the carnage of World War I, Europeans would do anything to avoid even a small confrontation — even if such appeasement all but ensured a far greater bloodbath than the one that began in 1914.

3) For your interest and understanding, we’re forwarding you the following article from Jill Curry of Catch The Fire Ministries, titled ‘ANZAC GALLIPOLI CENTENARY 2015’.

In 1914, Britain and France were allied with Russia.  Russia wanted control of the strategic narrow waters of the Dardenelles, Sea of Marmara and Istanbul, which were controlled by the Turkish Ottoman Empire.  Britain and France therefore went to war at Gallipoli on the Western shores of Turkey to defeat the Ottomans.  The first ANZACs landed at night in the wrong place and were greeted at dawn with steep cliffs instead of a beach with a gentle slope a few kilometres to the north.  For eight months they battled atrocious conditions before finally retreating before the cold winter really set in, after losing 7,594 men.  This was an horrendous loss to a young nation and has been etched on the hearts of Australians ever since.  Nevertheless, it has been said that it was in the trenches that Australia became a nation as men from different states became joined in heart instead of just federated on paper.  Through hardship their character was forged and their bravery won the respect of the world, while their loved ones back home were unified behind a common cause.

Afghan Men Wear Burqas to Campaign for Women’s Rights

The Telegraph ^ | March 6, 2015 | Radhika Sanghani

A group of Afghan men marched through the capital Kabul in burqas to campaign for women’s rights.

The men marched on Thursday dressed head-to-toe in bright blue burqas, clothing that covers with female body and has mesh over the face.

The idea was to draw attention to women’s rights by wearing the clothing that has, for many people, come to symbolise the suppression of women.

It took place ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8.

Ex-Iranian hostages agree with Bibi: Tehran can’t be trusted

By Cristina Corbin and Perry Chiaramonte – March 04, 2015 – FoxNews.com

For 444 days from 1979-1981, 52 Americans were held hostage in the American embassy in Tehran. (AP)

They dealt with the Iranian regime first-hand more than three decades ago, when it was founded in an act of war against the U.S., and several survivors of the hostage crisis say the idea of the U.S. negotiating with an unrepentant Tehran makes their blood boil.

For 444 days, the 52 Americans were held prisoner in the U.S. Embassy by the student revolutionaries that would help usher in the hard-line Islamic theocracy that remains in place today. Many of the hostage takers and guards held key roles in the Iranian government then and continue in important positions today.

“I think it’s very naive because the Iranians talk out both sides of their mouth,” said Clair Cortland Barnes, 69, of Leland, N.C, who was a 34-year-old communications officer at the time he was taken hostage. “Their actions betray their conversations. Their conversations say one thing and then they do something else.’

Nationals MP Calls Anti-Reclaim Australia Rally Racist, Reports Flag Burners For Breaching 18C

By Thom Mitchell – New Matilda.com-  14 Apr 2015

A man ostensibly opposed to anti-race hate laws is using those laws to attack people protesting against racism. Don’t worry, it all makes perfect sense, writes Thom Mitchell.

George Christensen, the National Party Deputy Whip, has reported some whipersnappin’ “socialist ratbags” to the Human Rights Commission for burning an Australian flag at a counter Reclaim Australia protest.

“The clowns who burned three Australian flags at a protest on the Easter weekend, protected by a wall of socialist ratbags, have been reported to the Human Rights Commission,” the federal member for Dawson blogged.

The outspoken backbencher has asked the Commission to investigate whether the flag burnin’ was in breach of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.

“18C makes acts against persons because of their national origin unlawful,” he tweeted. “Lefties defend 18 C without understanding it”.

Extremists are setting up anti-British schools, report claims

By , Education Editor – The Telegraph -12 Apr 2015

Nearly 50 unregulated schools set up by extremists are being investigated for being anti-British, it has been claimed.

Education authorities are looking into allegations that these schools impart teachings that go against British values.

Many of these schools were set up by a teacher embroiled in the Trojan Horse scandal that saw radical Muslims infiltrating school governing bodies in Birmingham, it was alleged.

Based around the UK – including Luton, Birmingham, and London, these schools manage to scape prying eyes by operating outside the traditional education system, it was claimed.

Many of the students have been pulled out of the mainstream education system, which is overseen by the schools’ watchdog, Ofsted, and the Department for Education (DfE), and are being home schooled without proper regulation or oversight.
