Roots of Hatred: National Review looks at Nazis, Islamists

By GLORIA Center August 13, 2014

In Islamic societies, Jews are still widely thought of as people of bad character who cannot help engaging in criminal conspiracy. Muslims are advised several times in their canonical writings and by Middle Eastern rulers that the rightful ordering of the world depends upon destroying Jews for fear Jews may destroy them. Recent times have fueled this murderous fantasy. The Jewish state is conceived as the outcome of a criminal conspiracy involving Britain and now the United States. Merely by existing, Israel turns up side down the superiority that Muslims believe is their God-given due and induces a sense of shame that must be wiped out by whatever means are available. Huge crowds assemble to shout “Death to America! Death to Israel!” They mean it.

Ayatollah Khamenei, the “Supreme Leader” in Tehran, describes Israel as “a cancerous tumor” that must be removed. One spokesman of his says that “Zionist officials cannot be called human,” while another goes further, finding “jurisprudential justification” to kill all Jews. The Turkish prime minister is not so far behind in his enmity. All over the region, imams are preaching that Jews are descendants of pigs and apes. Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist militia in Gaza, has the intention to annihilate Israel written into its foundational charter. Their Palestinian rivals on the West Bank treat as national heroes those who have killed an Israeli. Sunni Islamists fighting in Syria promise that after they have settled the score with the Shiites, it will be the turn of the Jews.

…the pathological incitement to mass murder owes more to the recent history of European politics and ideology than it does to religious faith.

British PM: Our generational struggle against a poisonous ideology

By Christopher Hope, Senior Political Correspondent –  16 Aug 2014

The West is embroiled in a generational struggle against a poisonous brand of Islamic extremism that will bring terror to the streets of Britain unless urgent action is taken to defeat it, David Cameron warns today.

Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, the Prime Minister says the world cannot turn a blind eye to the creation of an extremist caliphate in the heart of Iraq.

Warning that Islamic State fighters already control thousands of square miles of territory, Mr Cameron says that if these “warped and barbaric” extremists are not dealt with now, they will create a “terrorist state” on the shores of the Mediterranean.

He warns that Britain will have to use its “military prowess” to help defeat “this exceptionally dangerous” movement, or else terrorists with “murderous intent” will target people in Britain.

The Prime Minister says he fears the struggle will last “the rest of my political lifetime”.

“The creation of an extremist caliphate in the heart of Iraq and extending into Syria is not a problem miles away from home. Nor is it a problem that should be defined by a war 10 years ago. It is our concern here and now,” he says.

‘They would not convert and it cost them their life’. Family of eight Iraqi Christians shot in the face

05 August 2014  |   Ruth Gledhill – Christian Today

Canon Andrew White, the Vicar of Baghdad, who has witnessed extreme sufferings of Christians being killed and persecuted in recent weeks, has accused the British Government of doing nothing to help fleeing Christians. Bishops and other church leaders have added their voices his concerns.

Catholic bishops in Engand and Wales have called on Christians to join with people across Iraq “in praying for an end to the violent persecution that threatens to extinguish the ancient Iraqi Christian community.”

Church leaders in Iraq have selected Sunday, August 9 for the Day of Prayer.

Bishop of Clifton Declan Lang, who heads international affairs for the Catholic bishops, said: “Events in Iraq over the past few weeks have been disastrous. Christians have been systematically driven out of Mosul.

“A community of 60,000 before 2003 has dwindled over the years and is now down to almost nothing. For the first time in 1,600 years, no Masses are being celebrated in Mosul. Many Christians have fled to the surrounding Nineveh Plains and into Kurdistan as militants from the Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of the Levant (ISIS), threaten those who do not subscribe to their fundamentalist ideology.

How to Stay 50 Miles Away From a Moral Failure

– Lee Grady – 8th October 2014

Last week, late-night comics joked about the fact that yet another Christian broadcaster had gone down in flames because of a moral failure. This time it was Rory Alec, the British founder of GOD TV, who announced on Oct. 2 that he was stepping down from the network he co-founded in 1995 and putting his wife, Wendy, in charge.

Despite the giddy reaction from secular pundits, this is no laughing matter. When the world looks at us they think we are just a bunch of greedy hypocrites who can’t keep our pants zipped. The embarrassment that started in the 1980s with Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart continues today. We are now experiencing an epidemic of sexual failure in the church that threatens to discredit us.

Wendy Alec has promised to explain the details of her husband’s resignation in a statement this week, and the least we can do for our fallen brother is pray for his restoration. But beyond that, I’m also eager to help Christians who might be tempted to think that the failure of yet another high-profile minister means it’s impossible to stay sexually pure in a world full of temptation.

The truth is: Jesus can keep you from falling if you trust Him and use biblical common sense. Here’s the most honest advice I could give any sincere believer, male or female, who wants to avoid becoming a statistic in this struggle.

1. Maintain an intimate relationship with God. I can offer a 100 percent guarantee that no man or woman who prays regularly, worships God intimately, reads the Bible consistently and knows God’s grace personally will fall into sexual sin. When we are full of God’s Spirit, His fire will keep us far away from the edge of moral failure. It’s only when a person loses his first love for Jesus that he drifts toward sinful desires.

2. Never get in a sexually compromising situation with a person who is not your spouse. It’s never wise to play next to the edge of a cliff. Yet Christians today seem to think it’s spiritual to flirt, literally, with danger. The Bible says: “Flee from youthful lusts” (2 Tim. 2:22). “Flee” does not mean linger, loiter or dawdle, nor does it mean wink to see if you get a wink back. It means run for your life!

NHS worker who ‘bullied’ Muslim by praying for her

By David Barrett, Home Affairs Correspondent – 28 Jun 2014

A Christian health worker has begun a legal challenge after being disciplined by the NHS for praying with a Muslim colleague.

Victoria Wasteney, a senior occupational therapist in one of the country’s most racially diverse areas, was also accused of bullying the colleague after giving her a book about a Muslim woman who converts to Christianity.

In addition, senior managers told Miss Wasteney that it was inappropriate to invite the woman to a community sports day organised by her church.

The complaints led to Miss Wasteney being suspended on full pay for nine months.

Three charges were upheld against the 37-year-old Christian at an internal disciplinary hearing in February and five charges were found to be unsubstantiated. She had to accept a final written warning at work which will remain on her records for 12 months, as well as accept a range of other requirements designed to stop her discussing her faith and beliefs with colleagues.

RUAP Media Release: STOP COUNTER CULTURES IN BRITAIN and embrace our way of life and freedoms says PM David Cameron

Dear friends & family in Christ,

We’re posting the following RUAP media release for your prayer and action.

Please contact PM Tony Abbott and your local MPs to make your voice heard.

http://saltshakers.org.au/take-action/parliamentmps

General Immediate Media Release 2nd September

STOP COUNTER CULTURES IN BRITAIN, and embrace our way of life and freedoms, says PM David Cameron

In his statement PM David Cameron also said that Britain has been fighting Islamic terrorism for decades. While all people are welcome to Britain to enjoy our freedoms and values, we cannot accept a counter culture and way of life.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, recently stated that ‘Multiculturalism’ has brought us honour killings and Sharia law in Britain.

Today from his office in Hallam, the RUAP National President Daniel Nalliah stated, “Unfortunately, it might be a bit too late for Britain. The good book called the bible states, ‘What you sow is what you reap.’ Well, Great Britain sowed the seeds of Multiculturalism, and today they are reaping a counter culture called Islam.  True Islam has no respect for any other culture or religion, and does not, and will not, accept Western Democracy, Freedom of Speech or our way of life.

Our slogan at Rise Up Australia Party is to Keep Australia Australian. I was very encouraged recently to hear PM Tony Abbott using another term called ‘Team Australia’. The bottom line is that if people immigrate to our country Australia, then they need to integrate into the Australian way of life and culture. If they are not prepared to do this then they need to go back to where they came from. Adhering to Australian values is not an option or a choice, it is a duty to all who live in Australia.

Many ask me, ‘Is it too late to turn the ship around in Australia?’ I believe we can turn it around if we act quickly and intelligently now. When I say now, it means now, not tomorrow. It is that urgent.

David Cameron is First British Prime Minister Since Margaret Thatcher to Attend Prayer Breakfast in UK Parliament

John Bingham – The Telegraph – June 17, 2014

David Cameron has insisted that being a Christian helps make him a better politician.

His comments came as he became the first prime minister since Margaret Thatcher to attend Britain’s national parliamentary“prayer breakfast”.

It follows a debate over Mr Cameron’s remarks earlier this year that Britain is still a “Christian country” and that followers of the faith should be unashamedly “evangelical” about their beliefs.

Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, who is an atheist, also attended alongside 80 MPs, 20 peers and almost 600 churchgoers, campaigners and lobbyists for the early morning gathering in the medieval Westminster Hall.

Are UK Bible Colleges In a State of Peril?

May 06, 2014 – Christian Today – Michael Trimmer

With the International Christian College in Glasgow and St Michael’s College in Cardiff both recently announcing their closures, to what extent are UK Bible colleges in a state of peril?

Reverend Richard Tiplady, Principal of the ICC, says that from where he is sitting, the nation’s Bible colleges are facing a lean future.

“Of the ten largest bible colleges in the UK, only one is growing,” he says.

In the case of the ICC, the numbers were beyond the pale. Between 2000 and 2013 the annual intake of new undergraduate students dropped from 57 to 16.

What is causing this decline? Are Christians less interested in academic study around the Bible these days? Are people taking up alternatives, or not taking up anything at all? Or are there other explanations for the current malaise?

I renounced Islam, so my family think I should die

Amal Farah, above, said the case of Meriam Ibrahim prompted her to speak out Photo WARREN SMITHBy Harriet Alexander – 25 May 2014

Apostasy is not just something that scandalises people in far off lands. Harriet Alexander hears the story of a British woman whose life was turned upside down when she left Islam – echoing the plight of Meriam Ibrahim, who awaits a death sentence in Sudan for the same “crime”.

If Amal Farah were not living in Britain, she believes she might well be dead.

For the 33-year-old financial manager had carried out an act so heinous, her family felt she deserved to die.

Her crime? She had renounced her Islamic faith – “and within my community, that’s a capital offence,” she said. “They believe you deserve to die.”

Mrs Farah, who was born in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, but now lives in Britain, has never told her story before.

Discovering Jesus through Asian eyes

Jesus through Asian eyes15 May 2014  |   Carey Lodge – Christian Today

The Evangelical Alliance has launched a new outreach programme specifically targeted at the UK’s growing Asian population.

‘Discovering Jesus through Asian eyes’ is aimed at presenting the Gospel in a way that addresses many of the issues and questions that Asian people may have about Christianity. It was trialled in churches last year before being officially launched this week in London.

Sanjay Rajo of Naujavan, a Christian organisation dedicated to serving 16-30 year-old Asians, said that until now there has been a real gap in the market for outreach designed for young British Asians.

“In the last forty years Asians came to the UK from overseas but now we are seeing more young people, who are born here, confused about their identity and hunger for something spiritual,” he explained.

“This course will attract a younger generation … such as university students and young professionals in their 20s and 30s, who are interested in going on a course a bit like Alpha or Christianity Explored, but with an Asian edge. It ticks that box and allows us to engage in a unique Asian British way, there is nothing else out there like it.

British-born Boko Haram “ringleader” was “radicalised at UK university”

British-born Boko Haram ringleader was radicalised at UK universityRobert Spencer May 17, 2014

As evidence of his “radicalization,” the clueless Telegraph offers him quoting from the Qur’an, although the paper is evidently unaware that the quote comes from the Qur’an. Even if the authors and editors of this piece did know that, they likely wouldn’t mention it, as that would harm “community cohesion.”

“British-born Boko Haram ‘ringleader’ was ‘radicalised at UK university,’” by Josie Ensor and Colin Freeman, the Telegraph, May 16, 2014 (thanks to BD):

A British-born “ringleader” of the Islamist group responsible for the kidnapping of hundreds of school girls in Nigeria was radicalised while studying at a UK university, according to friends.

Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, 29, was arrested on Wednesday in connection with two recent bombings carried out by Boko Haram in the Nigerian capital Abuja that killed nearly 100 people.

He is suspected of co-masterminding the attacks – one in the suburb of Nyanya that killed 75 people on April 14 and a second attack just yards away which killed 19 people earlier this month.

Interpol put out an international arrest warrant for Mr Ogwuche, who was discovered after a reward of £100,000 led to his discovery in Sudan.

He had reportedly been learning Arabic at the the International University of Africa in Sudan and was held as he tried to obtain a Turkish visa in the capital, Khartoum.

New study: wealthy, better educated Muslims more likely to wage jihad

Robert Spencer – Jihad Watch

This study makes a statement that is absurd on its face when it says that “religious practice” plays no role in “violent radicalization,” when in reality we have seen time and time again that jihad terrorists are devout, observant Muslims who appeal to peaceful Muslims by invoking the Qur’an and the example of Muhammad and portraying themselves as the true Muslims. But nonetheless, this study debunks once again one of the core assumptions of the Washington foreign policy establishment: that poverty causes terrorism, and that therefore throwing money at the problem of jihad will make it go away.

“Risk factors for violent radicalization: youth, wealth and education,” from Medical News Today, March 21 (thanks to LA):

New research from Queen Mary University of London has found youth, wealth, and being in full-time education to be risk factors associated with violent radicalisation. Contrary to popular views – religious practice, health and social inequalities, discrimination, and political engagement showed no links.

The pioneering research assessed population prevalence of sympathies for terrorist acts – a key marker of vulnerability to violent radicalisation – and their relationship with commonly assumed causes of radicalisation. The community study surveyed over 600 men and women of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Muslim heritage in London and Bradford, aged 18-45.

OUGHT TO BE STRIPPED OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS

SOURCE: Christian Institute

Christian weddings should be stripped of their legal status, a justice minister has said.

Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes proposes that only secular, state-recognized ceremonies should have legal recognition in the U.K., a system adopted in France.

In practice, his proposals would mean that in order for a Christian couple to have their marriage recognized, they would need to have a secular ceremony in addition to a church wedding.

The French system is based on laïcité—a concept that separates state and religion—and Hughes says marriages on the British side of the channel should be subjected to the same principles.

Speaking at the Liberal Democrat spring conference, he said, “We should do what the Belgians do and the French do.

“It can be done even in the same building on the same day, but you would have a ceremony by which the state recognizes the marriage, the wedding, and then the faith community has the ceremony which gives that the authority.”

British Politician to Atheists: We’re a Christian Nation—Get Over It!

4/8/2014 The Christian Institute

Militant atheists should “get over” Britain being a Christian nation, the communities secretary, Eric Pickles, has said.

Pickles calls on atheists to stop imposing their “politically correct intolerance on others.”

The member of Parliament’s address to the Conservative Spring Forum in London is not the first time he has highlighted Britain’s identity as a Christian country.

In February 2012, Pickles fast-tracked new laws to override a high court’s decision to ban councils from having prayers at official meetings.

It followed the case of a local atheist ex-councilor who sued Bideford Town Council over prayers being said at meetings. The Christian Institute’s Legal Defence Fund supported the council.
