More than 150 people at RUA Party Fundraiser Dinner in Melbourne

Dear Friends,

Rise Up Australia Party had a very successful fundraiser dinner in Hallam (Melbourne) Victoria last Friday the 26th of April.

This first time event was to reach out to the demographics of many different ethnic groups living in the local area.

More than 150 Australians attended from many ethnic backgrounds, including Sri Lanka, India, Greek, Italy, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Nigeria, Kenya, Chinese, Netherlands, France, Egypt, Lebanon, Chile, Great Britain, New Zealand, Malta, Fiji and many others.

They all came together as Aussies to enjoy a delicious Sri Lankan meal called ‘Hopper &  Curry.’ Everyone very much enjoyed the food, fun and entertainment.

Guest Artist & Comedian Ben Price (originally from Canada) performed and had the crowd in fits of laughter.

The evening started off with the Australian National Anthem, followed by the Lord’s Prayer and a couple of speeches by Daniel Nalliah, National President and lead Senate Candidate for Victoria, and Rosalie Crestani,  # 2 Senate Candidate for Victoria.

People were greatly impacted on hearing the policy principles of RUA Party. There were loud shouts and cheers with a lot of clapping. The place was just buzzing with excitement.

Radical Muslims, Terrorism & Islam in Australia and around the World

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) The following is a very sad and shocking account of radical Islamic slaughter of several hundred children in Beslan, Russia in 2004.

Pr Daniel stated, “I know this is an old story, but let me tell you I did not know the horrific account of what happened in that school in Beslan.

We are called to be watchmen on the wall. We must warn the people of the rising evil through the spirit of Islam. Make no mistake, we must still love all Muslims, no matter how hard it is.

The Word of God states, ‘For a lack of knowledge, My people perish.’ We must wake up and we must speak up.”

Children Of Beslan Terrorists, Bring Their Slaughtering Ways To Boston 4/19/13 | Chuck Wolk

Beslan is a place few Americans have ever heard of, yet now they know how evil Chechen Muslims can be, because it was Chechen Muslims who set off the bombs at the Boston Marathon. It was Chechen Muslims who put school children, their teachers, and parents through 3 days of horror, before killing many in a bloodbath that will be remembered for many years. The reason? They were not Muslim. 11 years later, two Chechen men have killed and injured Americans near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Why? Just because they were not Muslim? We may never know. What we do know, is that these two men have lived up to the evil that the men of their homeland, and their religion are known for.

First the hate-words. Next the deeds? Andrew Bolt Blog  Wednesday, April 24, 2013  

I know Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia is made up mainly of loudmouths and students.  Yet these young men have been able to draw a crowd:

CONTROVERSIAL British Muslim leader Taji Mustafa …  addressed a gathering of about 500 people at the annual conference of Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir at Bankstown in Sydney?s southwest on Sunday.

They have a dangerously equivocal attitude to violence, to judge from their public comments:

THE Australian branch of the political group Hizb ut-Tahrir has denied any involvement in Saturday?s riot in Sydney, but declined to join the many other Muslim groups condemning the actions of violent protesters?

I think everyone condemning it is not going to do anything – let?s talk about the real issues,?? said the group?s spokesman, Uthman Badar.

And the hate they preach could one day find someone only too ready to join the dots and act upon it:

Anzac Day is commemorated with increasing fervour each year on April 25th in Australia. It is something Muslims should not actively or passively partake in.

We salute our ANZACS – By Pr Daniel Nalliah

Dear fellow Australians,

Today I want to salute our ANZACS for their great dedication and commitment as they fought for our freedom, also their willingness to lay their lives down, so that we could enjoy the freedoms we have. These brave ANZACS took the fight right into the enemies’ territory and thousands laid their lives down. These were our forefathers.

Now, it is our time to stand for our sons and daughters, so that they too will enjoy the freedoms we have today. I would like to encourage everyone to please remember to pray for God’s protection over our country, our soldiers and their families who are fighting for our freedom in other countries.

We must honor these brave men and women in uniform for their love, dedication and commitment for Australia, and pray for them.

Below, I have included some important information on Anzac Day.

May God bless you all,

Daniel Nalliah  (National President RUAP and Lead Senate Candidate for Vic)

What is ANZAC Day?

ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia’s most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

What does ANZAC stand for?

ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day.

Boston bombing / Can we still love and embrace a Muslim or should we be fearful of them?? by Daniel Nalliah

Dear fellow Australians,

This is a million dollar question and a very tricky one.

Can we still love and embrace a Muslim or should we be fearful of them and not have anything to do with them??

Many have asked me this question because of my strong stand against the religion of Islam that  Muslims follow.  When I give them my response, that I genuinely love the Muslim people, they are very often shocked or think that I am not fair-dinkum.

As those of you who surely know by now, I say what I mean and mean what I say. We must understand that a person cannot choose what religion they want to be born into. However, when a person grows older, they can choose whatever religion they want to follow or have no religion at all.

This is the freedom we enjoy in our country Australia.

However, in many cultures around the world, this is not an option. In particular, in Islam (which is culture, religion & law) from birth you are indoctrinated with the teachings of Mohammed and the Muslims are forced to follow the Quran. So a true Muslim is a person who follows the teachings of Mohammed and the Quran.

The Boston brothers were very nice moderate Muslims, up until they started visiting the Mosque regularly and started learning about Jihad from the Quran.

Make no mistake, it is not the teacher who radicalises a Muslim who should only be blamed, but the Quran from which they teach, a book promoting hate, violence, terror, death and destruction.

So how can we love a Muslim and yet not accepts the teachings of Islam.  There are many sincere Muslims and in particular, in most cases Muslim women who are victims of their own religion. They cannot speak out against their religion, as according to the Quran you will be very severely punished.

The debate that wasn’t: New Zealand’s rushed marriage revolution

by Carolyn Moynihan Fri Apr 19, 2013 – LifeSiteNews.com Life, Family and Culture News

April 19, 2013 (Mercatornet.com) – Wednesday night (April 17) 77 people changed the institution of marriage in New Zealand from a conjugal union with the potential for generating children and providing them with the nurture of their own mother and father into “a union of 2 people regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity” with the potential for systematically depriving children of their mother or father, or both. All in the name of “love”. Starting in August.

Actually, just 17 people managed to do that, because the New Zealand Parliament currently has 121 members and if 17 of the 77 who finally voted for the “definition of marriage” bill had voted against it and with the 44 who opposed the move, this South Sea revolution could have been put down and time taken to properly discuss the whole idea. The notion put about by MPs and journalists that there has been a “fierce debate” on same-sex marriage over the past seven or eight months is sheer fantasy.

The truth is that those in favour of law change didn’t want a public debate. They didn’t broach the subject in the last election campaign (nor the one before) but sprang it on us through a private member’s bill — fortuitously drawn from the ballot soon after it was introduced by lesbian MP Louisa Wall. Calls for a referendum — taken up by New Zealand First, a minor party in the government, and by a few other MPs — were rejected by the majority in the House on grounds that include: it would be difficult for people to exercise an informed vote (of course, if you won’t give them time to be informed) and “minority rights issues” should not be the subject of a referendum (even though no-one has shown us how people incapable of marriage can have a right to it).

Council issues Controversial Mosque Permit – VCAT’s Blunder or Council’s?

15th April 2013

City of Casey Council issued the permit to build a controversial Mosque in Doveton last week, while VCAT had received an application against this development from Catch the Fire Ministries. Who made the major blunder? Is it VCAT or Council??

The controversial mega mosque proposed to be built right next to Catch The Fire Ministries new base in Doveton was approved by the City of Casey Council last month, in spite of more than 2000 petitions against it by local and City of Casey residents.

Community concern was completely overlooked by the Council.

Catch The Fire Ministries lodged an application against the Council’s decision with VCAT on 28th March 2013 (within the 21 day period) and received confirmation from VCAT the same day.

KINGDOM LEADERSHIP vs. CHURCH LEADERSHIP

Joseph Mattera

There is presently a revolution taking place among those on the leading edge of change in the evangelical church. The result is a transition from a church mindset to a kingdom mindset in which the walls of church buildings are no longer able to contain the raw creative energy of Christ-followers who are committed to preaching and applying the Gospel of the Kingdom to all the world, including its systems and structures.

As political solutions and big government attempts to heal our land fail miserably, more people will look to faith-based partnerships and churches to find solutions. Hence the irrelevancy of old church patterns and traditions will become more noticeable in the decades to come.

Consequently, it behooves us to continue to study the contrasts between leading-edge kingdom practices and old, irrelevant religious church patterns that have failed to effectively evangelize and transform communities with the gospel.

The following is a contrast between leaders with a kingdom mindset and those with a church mindset.

I. Kingdom leaders interpret Matthew 28:19-20 as referring to discipling all nations. Church leaders believe it only refers to all individual ethnic peoples.

The body of Christ is now re-thinking the Great Commission scriptures of Mark 16:15 and Matthew 28:19-20. Instead of viewing them as commands to merely evangelize individual souls, now many are viewing the command in Mark 16 to ‘go into all the world and preach’ as a command to apply the gospel to both individual sinners and world systems. Matthew 28:19-20 is now regarded as the New Testament equivalent to the Cultural Mandate found in Genesis 1:28.
