Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Now that the U.S. Is an Islamic State…

By Robert Spencer – PJ Media

In PJ Media this morning I discuss how Obama is now enforcing Sharia blasphemy laws on American troops:

A bipartisan group of six senators recently wrote to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, asking that he free Rimsha Masih, the eleven-year-old girl who was being held on blasphemy charges and is still under serious threat of mob violence and resumed prosecution even though she has been released on bail. The letter is a welcome indication that the world is finally noticing Pakistan’s blasphemy laws — but working at cross purposes with those who are trying to get Pakistan to scrap these laws is none other than Barack Obama, who is now doing nothing less than effectively enforcing them upon the U.S. military. The senators wrote to the wrong President.

Rimsha reportedly has Down syndrome, yet was charged with blasphemy for allegedly burning some pages of the Qur’an among some trash she had collected. Even worse, a Muslim cleric has now been accused of planting the pages of the Qur’an among the remnants of the papers she burned, so as to ensure her conviction. According to Pakistan’s Dawn, a witness “said he tried to stop the cleric from tampering with the evidence, but he insisted it would strengthen the case and lead to eviction of the girl’s family from the locality.”

Muslim Brotherhood Calls for More Protests Against America

Posted by Daniel Greenfield Bio ? on Sep 12th, 2012 

Brotherhood secretary-general Mahmoud Hussein called for a “peaceful protest to condemn insults to religious convictions and insults to the Prophet”, adding it would start after noon prayers on Friday in front of main mosques across Egypt.

Right… peaceful. Morsi did not condemn the attacks and his government failed to provide proper protection even though a similar attack had been launched against the Israeli embassy.

The Egyptian media has been stoking the flames of this conflict and Morsi recently took control of the media and appointed Muslim Brotherhood loyalists to head state-owned media outlets. That means there is a high probability that the Muslim Brotherhood directed this attack or at the very least used propaganda to set it in motion.

Obama is handing a cool billion to Morsi, but the Muslim Brotherhood is still conducting protests against America. The Arabic Muslim Brotherhood site contains a call from the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood calls for “official and popular levels of action to stop this crime against Islam.” While the English Ikhwan site has put up a condemnation of the Benghazi attack, no such condemnation exists on the Arabic Ikhwan site.

Foreign Minister Bob Carr speaks out against Sydney Riots/Racial & Religious Vilification laws and quotes the case of the two Pastors

The Two Dannys' Celebrate God's VictoryDear family & friends in Christ,

In case you did not get the opportunity to watch the program “Insiders” on 23rd September 2012 on ABC24, attached is the link to the broadcast. If you fast forward it to the 3 minute mark and then watch the footage for the next 2 minutes, you will hear Foreign Minister Bob Carr speak out against the Racial & Religious vilification laws, from New York.  He then refers to the “Pastors” (Daniel Nalliah & Daniel scot) and the long drawn out court case in Victoria.

‘BARRIE CASSIDY: Now the Turkish prime minister, as I understand it, is putting forward a proposal for international laws on religious defamation. What do you make of that idea?

Bob CARR: ‘I don’t think that would be acceptable to the Western world.  We had a little example of how religious vilification laws work in a case that gained some notoriety under the Victorian legislation, and it meant drawn-out legal process directed at some pastors who would have gained, without this, no publicity whatsoever for their criticism of Islam. I think dragging religious disputes into the courts is a very bad notion.

Gay marriage bill ‘personal’ for senator

AAP • 17/09/2012 

The same-sex marriage debate has a personal dimension for Labor Senator Louise Pratt, who has a transgender partner.

An emotional Senator Pratt has told the Senate the law as it stands discriminates against her relationship and those of many other Australians.

“I am one of those hundreds of thousands of Australian citizens who knows that the laws of our nation hold our capacity for love and for commitment to be lesser because of the gender of our partner,” she said on Monday.

“One of hundreds of thousands of Australian citizens who knows that the laws of our nation say we are less deserving of rights, respect and recognition.

“We know that those ideas are not true and that the laws that reinforce them are not right.

“This debate has a personal impact for me.”

Victory for pro-lifers in key freedom of expression case

Published by Christian Concern – September 17th, 2012

A District Judge, sitting at Brighton Magistrates’ Court announced today that all charges were being dismissed against Christian pro-life campaigner Andy Stephenson. The case against his fellow campaigner, Kathryn Sloane, was dismissed on Thursday of last week (13 Sep) during the same trial.

All charges against both campaigners have therefore now been dismissed. District Judge Nicholson’s reasoning in the case is expected at 2pm tomorrow (18 Sep).

Andy and Kathryn were supported by the Christian Legal Centre and were represented in Court by human rights barrister Paul Diamond and Mr Michael Phillips.

Andy and Kathryn, members of the campaign group Abort67, were arrested in June 2011, whilst demonstrating silently in the vicinity of Wistons Clinic, operated by leading abortion provider BPAS, in Brighton. As part of its public education project, the group, which has held peaceful protests outside the establishment for 5 years, displays images of aborted babies but does so silently and without harassment.

Ryan: Obama’s Position on Israel ‘Borders on Contempt’

Charisma News 9/17/2012-  David Brody /CBN News Chief Political Correspondent

GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan says the Obama administration’s actions toward Israel border on “contempt.”

It was just one of several criticisms the Wisconsin representative had regarding President Obama’s foreign policy record.

The minute Ryan came onto the scene, conservatives couldn’t get enough of him, heaping praise on their fresh, 42-year-old idea man.

All the energy and rave reviews, however, have not translated into a lead in the polls against the president—at least not yet.

“Why do you think he’s still leading at the polls at this point?” CBN News’s David Brody asked Ryan.

Democrats’ Boo-God Moment Puts Black, Latino Faithful in ‘Tough Place’

By Alex Murashko , Christian Post Reporter – September 8, 2012

Political analysts tracking the mood of minority groups such as African Americans and Latinos, especially those within the church community, say the Democrats did themselves no favor when it came to matters of faith during the national convention.

Black and Latino Christians have been put in a difficult position over the DNC platform, according to several stories posted at BCNN1.com, an online site “dedicated to reporting breaking news from a black, Christian perspective for the glory of God.”

The news site, also found online at blackchristiannews.com has pooled news from other media showing that some Christian leaders in minority communities are not too happy with the apparent “progressive shift” to a more secular Democratic Party.

“My message is this could cost us our election,” said Fernando Cabrera, a New York pastor and a city council member from the Bronx. “I see myself as a reformer, and I’m hoping that we can put enough pressure (on the party).

And as you know one of the biggest issues is gay marriage.”

Great move of the Holy Spirit in Newcastle, NSW

Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) On his return from ministering in Newcastle, Pr Daniel said ‘We thank and praise God for those Pastors who are genuinely going after the Holy Spirit. God has certainly preserved a   remnant of church leaders who are willing to still stand strong and trust in the Holy Spirit for revival. These Pastors are often critisized by other fellow brothers in Christ, but even when David’s brothers criticized him, he did not give up. But took the challenge and won the battle, and they all celebrated. So we must also love our brothers who critisize us, no matter what they say, and pray for them’.

God moved mightily at every service and many were powerfully touched as they opened their hearts to the Holy Spirit, and hundreds of people gathered at the meetings. On sunday morning the church was packed, and then following the service was a wedding in the church, in which many people who normally do not go to church, were mightily impacted by the Word and presence of God. Pr Daniel prayed for many people who received a powerful touch from our mighty King Jesus.’

Pr Daniel also spoke about Rise Up Australia Party and challenged the people to stand up for their nation, and keep Australia Australian. The people responded with much excitment and many signed up to join the party membership. Some were also willing to stand as candidates in the Newcastle area in the next federal election.Pr Daniel stated, ” I am so hapy to see the response from the people. Particularly on Sunday morning many who normally do not go to church were at the service and many of them too signed up and took membership. This was very encouraging”.

Ban Ki-Moon’s Neville Chamberlain Moment

Posted by Joseph Klein Bio ? on Aug 28th, 2012 

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon succumbed to pressure from Iran and its anti-American allies by deciding to attend a summit meeting in Tehran later this week of the 120-member “Non-Aligned Movement.” Iran is heralding Ban Ki-moon’s visit to Tehran as proof positive of its unbowed diplomatic prowess. Israel and the United States tried to dissuade Ban Ki-moon from attending, but to no avail.

“The extraordinary effort that the Iranian leaders have put into the summit is intended to showcase Iran’s global role and offer concrete evidence that the U.S. policy of isolating Iran has failed,” said Farideh Farhi, an independent Iranian scholar at the University of Hawaii, as quoted by the New York Times.

In an extraordinary display of naiveté, Ban believes that he can use his visit to persuade Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to heed the international community’s concerns about Iran’s behavior in a number of key areas.  The Secretary General’s spokesman Martin Nesirky said that Ban expects “meaningful and fruitful discussions” during which he intends to raise directly with his hosts the issues of Iran’s nuclear program, its support for Syrian President Assad’s crackdown, its own human rights violations and its repeated calls for the destruction of Israel. Ban is “fully aware of the sensitivities” of the visit, the spokesman claimed, but not going “would be a missed opportunity.”

Pakistan’s Christian cabinet member urges blasphemy rethink

Telegraph.co.uk 04 Sep 2012  By Rob Crilly, Islamabad

 Pakistan’s only Christian Cabinet member has urged a rethink of how the country deals with blasphemy cases to prevent a repeat of the scandal involving a young girl with learning difficulties.

Paul Bhatti gave up a comfortable life as a surgeon in Italy to join the government earlier this year following the assassination of his brother, Shahbaz, who campaigned for reform of the controversial law.

Today he heads the Ministry of National Harmony, one of the most dangerous jobs in the country as he navigates Pakistan’s religious and ethnic divides.

Choosing his words carefully, for fear they could be twisted to present him as an opponent of Islam, he said the case of Rimsha Masih, an 11-year-old girl who has spent two weeks on remand, showed the law was being abused.

“I don’t think we have to reform the law itself,” he told The Daily Telegraph in his heavily guarded office. “But we have to stop its misuse. (more…)

Melbourne Islamic rally cancelled

Nine MSN News 20/09/12

One of the key organisers of an Islamic rally to be held in Melbourne on Sunday has cancelled the protest amid police concerns it will be overrun by violent activists.

Swaybah Javed, who had helped invite more than 1800 people through social networking to a rally outside the city’s State Library, says she’s been forced to scrap the event.

“I am calling off the protest as I do not want more violence on the streets, as Islam does not promote violence,” she told AAP on Thursday.

“It is a shameful day for Australia when Islamophobia has boiled over to the point where it is impossible to carry out a peaceful protest.”

Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Tim Cartwright had already started planning for the worst on Sunday, putting mounted police and heavily armed police on alert and warning that those planning the rally were not representatives of the Islamic community.

Rise Up Australia Party Media Release: Julia Gillard sides with Coalition against gay marriage vote

General Immediate Media Release  – 21 September 2012 (14:00hrs)

Julia Gillard sides with Coalition against gay marriage vote

“I congratulate Prime Minister Gillard, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, Liberal  and National Party Members of the House of Representatives and a majority of Labor Party Representatives who overwhelmingly voted down a second bill to allow gay marriage,” said the National President, Daniel Nalliah of Rise Up Australia Party this morning from his office in Melbourne.

 Rise Up Australia Party is a multi-ethnic party that is totally opposed to multiculturalism.  Multiculturalism causes immigrants to build ethnic enclaves and defeats the very purpose it was created to protect. Instead of uniting communities, multiculturalism divides a nation into ethnic groupings. This is counterproductive to a harmonious democratic society.

Mr. Nalliah was responding to comments in Wednesday’s Australian, “ In a rare sight, the Prime Minister and several of her frontbenchers, including Treasurer Wayne Swan and Environment Minister Tony Burke, moved across to the Coalition benches, facing almost 40 of their Labor party colleagues as the vote was counted … The vote in the lower house came as debate continued in the Senate on a parallel bill for gay marriage put forward by four Labor senators.”

Rise Up Australia Party is committed to marriage as the union of a man and woman, and the promotion of marriage as an institution that provides the best nurturing environment for children and that has substantial economic benefits for society.
