David Cameron is ‘actual leader’ of LGBT movement after Stephen Fry pub meeting: Pro-life leader

by Hilary White – Aug 19, 2013

LONDON August 19, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Prime Minister of Great Britain met in a London pub this weekend with television comedian and actor Stephen Fry to discuss the decision by the Russian government to outlaw homosexualist propaganda.

In an open letter published on his website, Fry has demanded that the government boycott the upcoming Winter Olympics, to be held in Sochi, Russia.

The government and the International Olympic Committee have already ruled out the possibility of a boycott, but Cameron quickly responded to Fry’s demand with a note on Twitter, saying, “I share your deep concern about the abuse of gay people in Russia. However, I believe we can better challenge prejudice as we attend, rather than boycotting the Winter Olympics.”

Newspaper publisher Evgeny Lebedev invited Fry and Cameron to meet at The Grapes, a pub he co-owns with Sir Ian McKellen, another high-profile actor and homosexual activist.

Europe needs the Holy Spirit – Brian Houston

Published 30 July 2013  |  Anita Bruce-Mills

Thousands made the commute to London’s 02 Arena last week for this year’s Hillsong Conference. Senior Pastor and founder of the Hillsong Church Australia Brian Houston took to the stage to deliver a message on God’s sufficiency and the importance of yielding to the Holy Spirit.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. We need the Holy Spirit, Europe needs the Holy Spirit,” he said.

“It’s not only in the atmosphere of great services, great conferences or great churches where we can know the power of the Holy Spirit. You can know his power in your life. He lives within, he leads us and empowers us.”

Worship was provided by the Hillsong team from their album Glorious Ruins and also present at the conference was the Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Reverend Justin Welby.

Houston shared how God’s favour has been upon the conference. “I genuinely believe that it is God breathed and Heaven sent, otherwise it couldn’t happen. For many years, according to the Australian tourist blogs, the largest national conference in the country year after year is not some business conference, not some self-motivational help conference. It is a church leadership conference about championing the cause of local churches everywhere. That won’t happen if it’s not God breathed and heaven sent,” he said.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron wants to export marriage redefinition ‘around the world’

by Hilary White – Jul 25, 2013

LONDON, July 25, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to use his government’s new same-sex “marriage” law to spread the doctrine of homosexual “marriage” all over the world.

At a reception at No. 10 Downing St. today for 150 leaders of the British homosexual lobby, Cameron said that together they had set “an example of how to pass good legislation in good time. Many other countries are going to want to copy this.”

 “I’m going to export the bill team,” he joked. “I think they can be part of this global race and take [marriage redefinition] around the world.”

Cameron told the assembled group he was “personally proud” to be “probably the only Conservative prime minister who’s taken this step.”

He particularly noted the influence that the legislation will have as a teaching instrument for young people. “Young children growing up at school, who might be uncertain about their sexuality, knowing that now, in the highest place in the land – in Parliament – we’ve passed this law that says that marriage is for you, whether you’re gay or whether you’re straight,” he said.

Stop arresting street preachers, says Christian rights group to head of London police

LONDON, July 28, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) 

Exasperated with the numerous arrests of Christian street preachers for speaking against homosexuality, a UK advocacy group has written to the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (of London) demanding that guidance be issued to beat officers to put a stop to the problem.

The last straw was the arrest earlier this month of visiting US street preacher Tony Miano for preaching that homosexual conduct is a sin.

“As you might be aware, this is the position adopted by all the major churches in the United Kingdom,” said Andrea Minichiello Williams, the head of the Christian Legal Centre (CLC), in the letter to Sir Bernard Hogan Howe of New Scotland Yard. “I hope we can agree that preaching the Gospel on sexual ethics (absent extenuating circumstances) is a lawful activity.”

Williams said that not only was the arrest unlawful, so was officers’ questioning on the content of Miano’s preaching.

CLC is asking for the dismissal of the officers involved – PC Green, PC Bailey and PC Rutland – and referral of the incident to Independent Police Complaints Commission. “We assert that such officers are unfit to remain within the Police Force,” said the group.

Miano was arrested and detained for several hours after police received a complaint by phone from one woman with whom he said he had tried to engage in dialogue. Miano said that while preaching on “both heterosexual immorality and homosexual immorality,” he  was approached by the woman who, he said, “turned, glared at me and told me to ‘f-off’.” Police subsequently arrived and told him he was “guilty of using homophobic speech that could cause people anxiety, distress, alarm or insult.”

Tony Blair: Woolwich attack shows there is a problem ‘within Islam’

Telegraph.co.uk – By Peter Dominiczak, Political Correspondent – Monday 03 June 2013

Tony Blair has warned that there is a problem “within Islam” as he described the ideology behind incidents like the Woolwich terror attack as “profound and dangerous”.

Mr Blair, the former prime minister, used a column in the Mail on Sunday to call on the Government to “be honest” and admit that there is a widespread problem with the religion.

In a major intervention following the murder of soldier Lee Rigby, Mr Blair said “the seeds of future fanaticism and terror” were being sown and that children in the UK and abroad must be educated about the place of religion in society.

Mr Blair said: “There is not a problem with Muslims in general. Most in Britain will be horrified at Lee Rigby’s murder.

“But there is a problem within Islam – from the adherents of an ideology that is a strain within Islam. And we have to put it on the table and be honest about it.”

Mr Blair added: “The seeds of future fanaticism and terror, possibly even major conflict, are being sown. We have to help sow seeds of reconciliation and peace. But clearing the ground for peace is not always peaceful.”

UK: Muslim girls “silent over sex abuse”

www.jihadwatch.org

“It’s because they feel they will be labelled for bringing dishonour upon themselves and their families.” Not just “labelled.” Murdered. Honor-killed. “South Asian girls ‘silent over sex abuse,'” by Shabnam Mahmood for BBC News, May 31 (thanks to Henry):

South Asian girls who have been sexually abused are less likely to report their ordeal than children from other backgrounds, a parliamentary inquiry into child grooming has been told.

Girls from Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi backgrounds are reluctant to come forward for fear of being alienated or ostracised by their communities.

Alyas Karmani, director of Street – a Bradford-based group working with vulnerable young people – told the Home Affairs Committee young Asian girls were more vulnerable to groomers because “they are unlikely to talk about it”.

He said: “It’s because they feel they will be labelled for bringing dishonour upon themselves and their families.

The ‘Muslims-Killed-by-the-West’ Lie

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com|– By Dennis Prager – 29th May 2013

The alleged butcher of the off-duty British soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby, defended his carving up of a living human being by claiming that he was engaging in “an eye for an eye” because the British army is killing Muslims in Afghanistan.

Normally there is no reason to respond to the justifications offered by terrorists and other murderers of the innocent. But in this case it is important to do so because much of the Muslim world resonates to this argument and because much of the world’s left offers this argument.

This is true even though a large majority of Muslims do not support terror and even though leftists do not support it. Nevertheless, throughout the Muslim and leftist worlds it is believed — and our children are taught this at college — that America, the UK. and other countries are targeted by Muslims because we kill Muslims.

The argument is morally perverse and a lie.

First, the U.K. and others are in Afghanistan in order to defend Muslims. Brits and other Westerners are risking their lives, and dying, in that country on behalf of Muslims.

Queen’s Speech: Immigration rules ‘to be tougher’ (UK)

BBC ^ | 7 May 2013

The government is expected to announce tougher rules on immigration when it outlines its programme for the next year on Wednesday.

The Queen’s Speech will include a parliamentary bill aimed at making it easier to deport foreign criminals and those who enter the UK illegally.

Other bills will cap social care costs in England and introduce a single state pension of £144 a week.

But a plan to monitor online and mobile communications is likely to be dropped.

The Queen’s Speech, part of the State Opening of Parliament, allows the government to set out its proposed bills for the next parliamentary session.

Christianity declining 50pc faster than thought – as one in 10 under-25s is a Muslim (UK)

The Telegraph (UK) ^ | John Bingham – 05/20/2013

A new analysis of the 2011 census shows that a decade of mass immigration helped mask the scale of decline in Christian affiliation among the British-born population – while driving a dramatic increase in Islam, particularly among the young.

It suggests that only a minority of people will describe themselves as Christians within the next decade, for first time.

Meanwhile almost one in 10 under 25s in Britain is now a Muslim.

The proportion of young people who describe themselves as even nominal Christians has dropped below half for the first time.

Media Censors London Beheader Using Koran to Justify Atrocity

May 22, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield 

You know that part in the video where the announcer is speaking over the Muslim killer. That’s the part where the killer is saying, “Many, many Ayah throughout the Koran that we must fight them as they fight us.” Instead the official media video cuts the Koran part out and picks up only when the Muslim killer says, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”

That doctrine is used today by Muslim countries to demand a literal eye for an eye justice.

In August 2000, the Saudi Arabian media reported that Abdel Moti Abdel Rahman Mohammad, a 37-year-old-Egyptian national was subjected to forcible surgical removal of his left eye at King Fahd Hospital in Medina. The operation was carried out as a judicial punishment of Qisas after he was found guilty of disfiguring Shahata Ajami Mahmoud, a 53-year-old Egyptian.

So it’s not some sort of misunderstanding. This is mainstream Islam. And it’s horrifying.

But there is a larger context. The Koran, as usual, is blasting the Jews for not keeping the law of Allah, which Mohammed believed, actually involved taking out an eye for an eye.  The Jews never practiced this. Mohammed however insisted on it and laid out proper doctrine.

“The reward of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to create disorder in the land is only this that they be slain or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on alternate sides, or they be expelled from the land.” (Quran 5:34)

UK gay ‘marriage’ bill ignores children’s right to a mother and father: campaign group

by Hilary White – WESTMINSTER, June 17, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) 

The needs of children of a father and mother are being ignored in favor of the putative “rights” of homosexuals in the rush to pass the same-sex “marriage” bill, a family campaign group has said.

The coalition government’s same-sex “marriage” bill is being considered in a committee of the House of Lords started today after being passed “in principle” in an overwhelming vote of 390 – 148 in favor.

 Gay Marriage, No Thanks says it is aiming “to put the wellbeing of children at the centre of the same-sex marriage debate.”

The group called Gay Marriage, No Thanks, an “informal group of professionals and parents,” said today that the bill is entirely “adult focused” and ignores the human right of children to be reared by both natural parents. The group says it aims “to put the wellbeing of children at the centre of the same-sex marriage debate.”

Faith Behind the Fascination with Margaret Thatcher’s Grandchildren

Teresa Neumann (Apr 26, 2013)

Amanda Thatcher’s much heralded reading from Ephesians at her grandmother’s funeral is due to the fact that “she knows God” and “has a mother who loves the Lord.”

(The U.K.) – Margaret Thatcher’s granddaughter, Amanda Thatcher, who was raised in the United States, wowed churchgoers at her grandmother’s funeral when she eloquently read from the book of Ephesians (click here to see video).

“Flawless!” gushed funeral attendants of the poised 19-year-old student, no doubt surprised that an American could be as articulate as their British counterparts. (Photo: NY Daily News)

Now, as revealed by Amanda’s mother, Diane Beckett – daughter-in-law of the late Prime Minister – not only is confidence, presence and articulation “in the blood,” it’s also a product of faith.

An article in The Telegraph details how Amanda Thatcher met and married Margaret Thatcher’s son Mark, whom she met in Texas in 1986 and later divorced. Today, Amanda is married to publishing magnate, James Beckett. According to the report, their family’s belief in God is the “bedrock of their life.”

Only around a half of Britons trust the clergy to tell the truth, and a similar proportion think the Church of England does a bad job of providing moral leadership, a poll showed on Sunday.

The survey by pollster YouGov commissioned by Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper further showed that 69 percent of respondents thought the Church of England, mother church of the world’s 80-million-strong Anglican communion, was out of touch.

Forty percent of those polled said they did not trust priests, vicars and other clergy to tell the truth, and overall doctors, teachers and judges were rated as more trustworthy.

Fifty-four percent believe the Church of England has struggled to give moral leadership, the poll found.

“There can only be one set of laws in this country”: UK MP opposes bid for state-sponsored Sharia courts

www.jihadwatch.org

Recently a Sharia court in Britain told an abused wife to stay with her abusive husband and “correct” herself. Britain will see much, much more of that sort of thing (and worse) if Hopkins is not heeded, as he probably won’t be. “Ilkley MP speaks out against Mosques’ Sharia law bid,” from the Wharfedale Observer, April 13:

Keighley and Ilkley MP Kris Hopkins has written to the Justice Secretary stating his opposition to the establishment of Sharia courts.

He was speaking after Bradford Council for Mosques issued a statement calling on the Government to “recognise” the work of Sharia courts, and for them to be “better resourced with an agreed framework”. (more…)
