War on Christianity is fuelled by ignorance

ANDREW BOLT – Herald Sun

IT’S not the haters who will kill Christianity. It’s the ignorant, who have no clue how we non-Christians will suffer.

But, wow, that hatred sure is feral. The latest examples?

One: the Greens this week say they want to strip churches of their “right to discriminate” — actually their freedom to insist their employees live the faith.

Two: Sydney University’s Student Union threatened to deregister the university’s Evangelical Union unless it stopped insisting members declare their faith in Jesus Christ.

Three: Christian lobby group Family Voice Australia this week accused Facebook of deleting one of its pages arguing against same-sex marriage.

Four: Facebook administrators had earlier deleted a page by the Centre for Public Christianity calling on same-sex marriage activists to be less abusive (It was restored after protests by Tim Wilson, the former freedom commissioner and now Liberal candidate in Goldstein).

Five: Yet another church in Melbourne was burned to the ground last month and four in Geelong have been torched in six months — arson attacks that got a fraction of the media attention given to the burning of a Geelong mosque (Police say the mosque may have been mistaken for the church this bluestone building originally was).

Temple of Baal Will Be Erected in Times Square Next Month

3/24/2016 Michael Snyder

I realize that the headline of this article sounds like it must be false, but it is actually completely true. The Temple of Baal (also known as the Temple of Bel) was a world-famous landmark that was located in Palmyra, Syria. In August 2015, this temple was destroyed by ISIS, and most of the world recoiled in terror at the loss of a “cultural heritage site.”

In an attempt to “preserve history,” two exact replicas of the 50-foot arch that stood at the entrance to the temple will be erected in April 2016 in Times Square in New York City and in Trafalgar Square in London. Needless to say, a lot of people are quite disturbed by this. In ancient times, child sacrifice and bisexual orgies were common practices at the altars of Baal, and now we are putting up a monument of worship to this false god in the heart of our most important city.

When I first came across this story, I could hardly believe it. But this is not just some Internet rumor. This was reported by the New York Times.

Why the Islamic State’s Ancient Jihadi Tactics “Shock” the West

February 26, 2016 – by Raymond Ibrahim

As Western politicians and other talking heads insist that the Islamic State (“ISIS”) has “nothing whatsoever to do with Islam,” not only does ISIS correctly implement Islamic law—whether by demanding jizya from subjugated Christians or by sexually enslaving “infidel” women—but even the “caliphate’s” arcane jihadi tactics belong to Islam.

Consider a recently exposed “recruitment” tactic of ISIS: abducting, indoctrinating, and beating young children in order to mold them into explosive-vest wearing “martyrs” who hurl themselves onto “infidels”:

The children who managed to escape describe how they were indoctrinated into the jihadi group’s radical brand of Islam and taught that they should execute their “unbeliever” [infidel] parents….  “We weren’t allowed to cry but I would think about my mother, think about her worrying about me and I’d try and cry quietly,” he [an escapee] said…  Some children who managed to escape ISIS and are now living in the refugee camps in northern Iraq, have also been left badly psychologically scarred. The repeated beatings and endless propaganda have meant that some of the escapees wake up in the night with nightmares while others suffer seizures.

All conservatives agree: Stop harassing Christian bakers, florists, and wedding planners

NewsMarriage – Mar 3, 2016

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland, March 3, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – While those who broadly consider themselves part of the “conservative movement” are not united on the definition of marriage, they all agree on one thing: the war on conscience is stifling, intemperate, and must come to an end.

At CPAC, the premier annual conservative political gathering, a panel of experts discussed marriage and the intensifying pressure for Christians to “bend to the will of the state.”

Two of the panelists supported marriage, while two supported the redefinition of marriage.

Guy Benson, the political editor of Townhall.com, who is openly homosexual, said the definition of marriage may not be guaranteed by the Constitution. However, he thinks all states should be required to recognize the marriage licenses issued elsewhere.

UK Christians On Guard Over “Attacks on Religious Freedom We Have Not Seen Since the Days of John Bunyan”

News Staff : Mar 3, 2016 : The Christian Institute

“Every time ministers talk about extremism they seem to want to go much wider than tackling terrorists and their sympathizers. Law-abiding citizens, such as Christians, could be caught by the vague definitions of extremism… these represent an attack on religious freedom and freedom of speech that we have not seen in this country since the days of John Bunyan, more than 300 years ago.” -Colin Hart

(United Kingdom)—Colin Hart, Director of The Christian Institute has warned Christians not to let the Government use the country’s focus on the EU referendum to smuggle through unwanted and draconian laws that could interfere with church youth work and label Christians as “extremists.”

Mr. Hart expressed concern that whilst the media is focused upon the build up to the referendum on 23 June, the Government may try to speed through laws that undermine religious freedom.

Stephen Curry, Manny Pacquiao, Tiger Woods and Nike

2/22/2016- Michael Brown

Although Manny Pacquiao quickly apologized for his remarks about homosexuals, Nike dropped him like a hot potato. In contrast, Nike never dropped Tiger Woods despite the revelations of his serial adulteries, even though those led to the destruction of his marriage and worldwide public shame. Why the double standard?

Does Nike believe that it is far worse to make a passing, extremely derogatory comment about homosexuals—one for which Manny quickly apologized and asked forgiveness—than to betray one’s children and cheat on one’s wife, sleeping with a bevy of different women over a period of years (including several porn stars)?

Or could it be that, because Tiger is still worth more money, his transgressions are more forgivable?

While appearing on a local Philippines TV station, Manny said, “It’s common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female. If men mate with men and women mate with women they are worse than animals.”

World’s Deadliest Terrorists Not In The Middle East

02-27-2016 – Christian Broadcasting Network

The world’s deadliest terrorist group is not in the Middle East. It’s in Nigeria, where Islamic regime Boko Haram and other violent groups killed more than 4,000 Christians in 2015.

According to a new report released by Open Doors, the death toll in the Northern part of the country has increased by 62 percent since 2014.

A decade of violence has nearly destroyed the church, killed thousands of believers, and driven away more than 1 million.

But for the first time, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is doing something about it by endorsing a commitment to revive the church nationwide.

CAN which is comprised of Protestant, indigenous evangelical, Pentecostal and Catholic churches who believe that there is still a large Christian presence in northern Nigeria that has the potential to “unite and stand strong.”

“Christian Girls Are Only Meant for the Pleasure of Muslim Men”

January 29, 2016 – by Raymond Ibrahim

Three Christian girls in Pakistan, who rejected the advances of some wealthy Muslim young men, were recently mauled by them. One of the girls died.

London-born Chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) and human rights activist, Wilson Chowdhry, who broke the story, reported that one of the men had said: “Christian girls are only meant for one thing, the [sexual] pleasure of Muslim men.”

The incident occurred on January 13 in Lahore. The three girls—aged 17, 18, and 20—were walking home after a hard day’s work. Four Muslim youths in a vehicle followed the girls and accosted them. The men “misbehaved,” yelled “suggestive and lewd comments,” and harassed the girls to get in their car for “a ride and some fun.”

The girls declined the “invitation,” adding that they were “devout Christians and did not practice sex outside of marriage.”

Americans Tired of Elites Considering Them Stupid and Vicious

Michael Barone | Tuesday Jan 26, 2016

How stupid and vicious do they think we are? That’s a question that I think explains a lot of things about politics and society today — and about this year’s unpredicted presidential race.

The “us” in that question are ordinary citizens and the “they” are political and media elites who hold them in contempt — which they do over and over again by trying to obfuscate and cover up the source and motives of terrorist attacks.

Barack Obama, who refuses to use phrases akin to “Islamist terrorism” is a prime, but far from the only, offender. His predecessor, George W. Bush, after the attacks of Sept. 11 made a point of visiting mosques and calling Islam a religion of peace.

Undoubtedly, he then feared that many Americans would attack and assault Muslims, actual or perceived, and a very few such attacks occurred. But government statistics count far fewer “hate crimes” against Muslims than against Jews.

Ohio: Machete-wielding Muslim injures multiple patrons at restaurant owned by pro-Israel Arab Christian

– by

The owner is an “outspoken Christian” from Israel. “Inside the restaurant, guests are greeted by…a small Israeli flag.”

Yet “Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner said ‘right now there’s nothing that leads us to believe that this is anything but a random attack.’” Nonsense.

If Rich Weiner were as knowledgeable about Islam and jihad as he (and all others like him) should be, he would know exactly what this was — especially since Mohammad Barry later lunged at police with his machete and a knife. Israel, Arab Christians, police — three prime targets of the jihad.

“Cops Kill Suspect After Violent Machete Attack At Northeast Columbus Restaurant,” by Evan Anderson, Tylar Bacome and Nathan Baca, WBNS-10TV, February 11, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Police have shot and killed a suspect after he attacked multiple people at a restaurant in northeast Columbus with a machete.

Trump Takes A HUGE Stand For Christianity…Says What Obama Won’t!!!

Conservative Post ^ | 1/18/2016

TRUMP TAKES A STAND…

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke at Christian university, Liberty University, on Monday and said “Christianity is under siege.”

“Somehow we have to unify,” he said. “We have to band together. We have to do really, in a really large version, what they’ve done at Liberty. Because Liberty University has done that,” Trump said.

“You’ve banded together. You’ve created one of the great universities, colleges, anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world. And our country has to do that around Christianity,” he continued.
