Germany monitors Koran distribution by Salafists

BBC News Europe – 11 April 2012

A branch of the German security service is monitoring a campaign by Salafist Muslims to give away 25 million Korans to see if it violates constitutional rules on religious freedom.

Ibrahim Abou Nagie, a Cologne-based preacher, says he wants to save non-Muslims from hell.

The interior ministry in North Rhine-Westphalia said the campaign was a form of aggressive proselytising.

So far, about 300,000 copies have been given away.

RUA Party SA Great Breakthough / Many challenged by Pr Daniel Scot regarding the dangers of Islamic Sharia Law in Australia

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) It is with great joy we announce that Rise Up Australia Party is now on track to contest the next Federal Election also in South Australia!

Pr Daniel spoke at a gathering in Adelaide on the 9th of May and was very successful in setting up a state team to run the operation in South Australia for the next Federal Election in November 2013.

Pr Daniel stated, “I am so happy to see people rising up and being willing to take a stand for our nation Australia. One main reason for this is that the general public are absolutely fed up with our current government and most political parties. We have a great opportunity to step into Parliament right now. We cannot and must not miss this wave. I have spoken to many Christians and non-Christians alike. Interestingly, the response is the same, ‘We need change’ and I say, ‘Yes, we can do it’”.

2) On Sunday, which was Mother’s Day, Pr Jenny Jack from CTFM brought a great word on ‘Why women and men are equal in the sight of God‘. Many were mightily touched by the Word and Spirit of God. Pr Daniel called all the mothers to come up to the front and then he laid hands and prayed for them. Many of them received prophetic words from the Lord and were mighty impacted by the presence and power of God.

At the evening service, Pr Daniel Scot, along with his wife, ministered the powerful Word of the Lord. He spoke on the topic of ‘Why Islamic Sharia Law is bad law’.  Many people who came to the meeting were shocked to learn as to what is real Islamic Sharia Law. Pr Daniel Scot and Pr Daniel Nalliah had both lived under Sharia Law in Pakistan & Saudi Arabia, and know very well as to how this law will destroy our nation of Australia.

This meeting was also live webcast, although the video was out, due to technical failure.  Nevertheless, we thank God that the audio carried through without any interruptions. Yesterday morning we received good feedback from those who listened to it. We are so sorry for the video dropping out.

Pr Daniel Scot’s speech was very well received by the people. He spoke of how Australia will lose its freedoms and identity if Islamic Sharia Law is introduced. He quoted many references from the Koran to back up every statement he made. This very challenging and informative message is a must watch on DVD.

Islamic Sharia Law is bad law, Hear the two Danny’s to Speak on Sunday 13th May at 6.30pm at CTFM

Media Release – For immediate release

In 2002 the Islamic Council of Victoria brought an allegation of vilification against Pastor Daniel Nalliah of Catch the Fire Ministries and Pastor Daniel Scot, which resulted in a court battle that lasted for almost five years. This court case, better known as the two Danny’s case, was a highly publicized court case that received much coverage by the Australian and international media.

The two Danny’s successfully defended themselves and won the court battle for freedom of speech in the Victorian Supreme Court, when the three judges overturned the VCAT decision, clearing the two Pastors any wrong doing and upholding their basic rights of freedom of speech in a democratic nation. This decision resulted in most state governments rejecting the racial and religious vilification laws across Australia.

After ten years, the two Danny’s together will be addressing a gathering this Sunday the 13th of May at 6.30pm at the Catch The Fire Ministries base at 23 Melverton Dr in Hallam, Victoria, and will be speaking on ‘Why Islamic Sharia Law is bad law and should not be tolerated or accommodated in Australia’.

Pastor Daniel Nalliah, who is also the founding President of the new political party Rise Up Australia Party – ‘Keep Australian, Australian’, will be running a national campaign in the next federal election.

He stated this morning, “I lived and worked for two years with my family in Saudi Arabia and know very well the effects of Islamic Sharia Law. It is bad law, it is from the dark ages. We in the West should not touch it, as it completely goes against everything we stand for. France, Germany, UK and many nations in Europe who have embraced some parts of Islamic Sharia Law, under the banner of Multiculturalism, now regret doing so, although it seems a bit too late for them.

Half of All Americans Believe Bible, Quran, Book of Mormon Hold Same Truths

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter – April 17, 2012

An in-depth study released by the Barna Group on behalf of the American Bible Society found that 50 percent of Americans believe the Bible, Quran and the Book of Mormon hold different expressions of the same truths. The survey also found that Americans’ reliance on the Bible has decreased slightly in 2012 from 2011, although the Christian holy book retains an important place in people’s lives.

The study, which was conducted in March and surveyed over 2,000 adults through phone and online interviews, found that 85 percent of American households own a Bible – although that number was down from 88 percent in 2011. Similarly, 48 percent agreed that the Bible has all the knowledge needed to live a meaningful life, while that number was 53 percent in 2011.

Mormonism, which has been in the news lately because of Mitt Romney, the likely GOP presidential candidate and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, registered a slight gain in terms of recognition – six percent of people interviewed said the Book of Mormon is sacred or holy, which is up two percent from 2011. The Bible, on the other hand, dropped by four percent to 82 percent in the same question.

The survey’s findings suggest that “Americans desire to read the Bible more and turn to it for the answers to life questions but have an increasingly less reverent view of its contents,” David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group, said in a press release.

Muslim gang jailed for kidnapping and raping two girls as part of their Eid celebrations

By Katherine Faulkner  20 April 2012

A group of Muslim men who abducted and raped two teenage girls as part of their Eid celebrations laughed in court yesterday as they were jailed for a total of 38 years.

The girls, aged 15 and 16, were lured miles from their home to a dingy hostel.

In a horrifying weekend-long ordeal, they were plied with alcohol and repeatedly raped by two men, Shamrez Rashid and Amar Hussain, before being offered to a number of others who also ‘used them for sex’.

The 16-year old was forced to have sex six times with four different men.

The younger victim was raped by one man and then sexually assaulted by another.

One defendant, Rashid, 20, was said to have claimed the girls had enjoyed the sex, which he said had taken place as they celebrated the Muslim festival of Eid. (more…)

ABC 4 Corners TV Program – The shocking expose of a practice hidden within Australia’s migrant communities – the forced marriage of young girls – organised by their families and supported by religious leaders

Dear friends and family in Christ,

For your ongoing prayerful interest, we’re forwarding the following video link (44 min) to ABC 4 Corners Television Program ‘Without Consent’ and written report, regarding the shocking expose of a practice hidden within Australia’s migrant communities – the forced marriage of young girls – organised by their families and supported by religious leaders.

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2012/03/29/3466537.htm

By Sarah Ferguson and Deb Masters – April 3, 2012

What happens when young, educated, Australian-born girls are forced into unwanted marriages – often with relatives overseas?

Samia was just seventeen when her father announced he was taking her on a holiday overseas. But this was a holiday with a difference. Back in the family’s village in rural Pakistan, Samia watched in horror as the local Imam walked in ready to conduct her marriage to her first cousin – without her consent. With pressure from her extended family, she was given papers to sign and threatened.Returning to Australia, Samia sought help from local religious authorities in Sydney – but they ignored her and told her to accept the marriage.

Why Christians Must Be Involved In Politics

by Rev. Johnny Lee Clary © www.johnnyleeclary.com

There is a huge movement underway, with books being written and endorsed by pastors of large churches telling people that Christians should never be involved in politics and that if they are then they are turning unbelievers away from Christ. These books are not worth buying. Their authors are worthless because they lack knowledge and wisdom when it comes to God’s word and therefore should not be telling Christians how to live their lives.

All political power has been delegated by God. As Apostle Paul says in Romans 13:1, in speaking on the subject of civil authority, “Every person should obey the government in power. No government would exist if it hadn’t been established by God. The governments which exist have been put in place by God.”

People accuse me all the time of being disobedient to God’s word for criticizing government officials, using Romans 13:1 to justify that accusation. I always point out to them that if that is true that I am disobedient, then so were the Apostles, John and Peter. The ruling authority commanded and ordered them not to preach Jesus and they replied they must obey God rather than men. Therefore, the word of God is plain; we do not have to obey government authority when it conflicts with God’s word.

Now the key here is that when you have a government that is hostile to or just plain old anti-Christian, you must get involved with politics in order to change the government to be favorable to God’s word and the way to do that is to put Christians in power! (more…)

Christians Call on UK Prime Minister to Support ’Not Ashamed of the Cross’ Campaign

Friday, April 6, 2012 By Peter Wooding – Europe Bureau Chief for ASSIST News Service

LONDON, ENGLAND (ANS) — CHRISTIANS across the UK were today (GOOD FRIDAY) launching a campaign to urge UK Prime Minister David Cameron to turn his strong “words of support” for Christianity and its role in public life, which he expressed this week at a private ‘Easter Reception’ at Downing Street for senior church leaders, into “solid action”.

In a letter to the UK Prime Minister, nurse Shirley Chaplin, one of the four Christians involved in the cases going to Europe, said:At the reception, the Prime Minister, who attends church with his wife, Samantha, and their children, rallied over 100 senior church representatives with a strong call for the Church to be more active in British Society, backed by the Government. He said that he supported the “fight back” by the Church against rising secularism and the right of Christians to wear crosses at work and be open about their faith.

According to a Christian Concern press release his comments come at a time when many Christians, including the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, fear that traditional values are being airbrushed from public life. A series of court cases have handed victories to secular campaigners, as Christians have been penalised for wearing crosses to work, for not wanting to work on a Sunday or even for just sharing their faith with colleagues or clients. In a recent case a Devon council was actually barred from saying prayers at the start of official meetings.

Mr Cameron told the attendees: “I think there’s something of a fight-back going on, and we should welcome that. The values of the Bible, the values of Christianity are the values that we need.” In a separately released Easter message, Mr Cameron said the festival was a time to “remember the life, sacrifice and living legacy of Christ”.

Britain’s Christians are being vilified, warns Lord Carey

By John Bingham, Religious Affairs Editor Telegraph.co.uk – 13 Apr 2012

 

Christians are being “persecuted” by courts and “driven underground” in the same way that homosexuals once were, a former Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.

Lord Carey says worshippers are being “vilified” by the state, treated as “bigots” and sacked simply for expressing their beliefs.

The attack is part of a direct appeal to the European Court of Human Rights before a landmark case on religious freedom.

In a written submission seen by The Daily Telegraph, the former leader of more than 70?million Anglicans warns that the outward expression of traditional conservative Christian values has effectively been “banned” in Britain under a new “secular conformity of belief and conduct”.

His comments represent one of the strongest attacks on the impartiality of Britain’s judiciary from a religious leader.

Christianity gets less sensitive treatment than other religions admits BBC chief

By Paul Revoir  27 February 2012

BBC director-general Mark Thompson has claimed Christianity is treated with far less sensitivity than other religions because it is ‘pretty broad shouldered’.

He suggested other faiths have a ‘very close identity with ethnic minorities’, and were therefore covered in a far more careful way by broadcasters.

But he also revealed that producers had to consider the possibilities of ‘violent threats’ instead of polite complaints if they pushed ahead with certain types of satire.

Mr Thompson said: ‘Without question, “I complain in the strongest possible terms”, is different from, “I complain in the strongest possible terms and I am loading my AK47 as I write”. This definitely raises the stakes.’ (more…)

Holy Spirit Revolution in the Gold Coast / CTFM Credentialing Service & Live Webcast Sun evening 22nd April

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) All glory to God for this past weekend as Pr Daniel ministered the prophetic Word of the Lord at 2 different churches on the Gold Coast, QLD where the fire of the Holy Ghost fell most powerfully!

We thank God for many hungry souls which were delivered, set free and healed by the mighty presence of God! Some people came to the altar and surrendered their lives to Jesus for the first time!

At one church, there were around 300 people that erupted with shouts of joy and clapping as Pr Daniel shared the Word of God and then spoke about Rise Up Australia Party! The people were so very excited to hear the news of a political party which was committed to protect Australia, its Judeo-Christian heritage and to keep ‘Australia Australian’.

Many responded to the altar call at both churches and were mightily blessed by the power and presence of God. The Pastor of the church was so touched that he got up and challenged the people to support RUA Party in the next federal election. Many took up membership with the party just after the service and so many others were willing to help in any way possible.

Pr Daniel stated, “I was so blessed to see the excitement in the house of God in hearing of RUA Party. In particular, to see both Pastors being totally available to help and support. Also the way they personally promoted the party. I believe that this is God’s timing for a change in the political leadership and direction of Australia, especially with the departure of the Greens Party leader Bob Brown from politics. Also many media personalities and politicians predicting the ‘beginning of the end of the Greens’.

I believe that God is preparing the way for RUA Party to play a major role in government in the near future. Glory to God. Do not believe the lie that church and politics should not mix. If we the church do not take a stand now, our nation is heading for absolute disaster.”
