A Muslim prayer rally on Capitol Hill Friday drew between 3,000 and 5,000 participants, a figure well below the 50,000 organizers hoped to attract.
Among those gathered were several dozen protestors. Some stood at the rear of the crowd holding Bibles and praying. Others yelled “repent” from across the street, where they gathered with banners and crosses, the Washington Post reported.

A Christian couple have been charged with a criminal offence after taking part in what they regarded as a reasonable discussion about religion with guests at their hotel.
Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang were arrested after a Muslim woman complained to police that she had been offended by their comments.
They have been charged under public order laws with using ‘threatening, abusive or insulting words’ that were ‘religiously aggravated’.

Was it just coincidence that Mr Hulls released his Media Release on Sunday?
Â
Probably not when it was mainly Christians who put up the fight against the further infringements to freedom of Speech and Religion that were being considered by the Victorian Government Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee. (SARC)
Have those concerns been allayed? NO. Is this a win? NO, it is simply LESS of a LOSS than it might have been – dressed up to appear to be a win.
Lest we forget, Mr Hulls has openly stated that he is opposed to ALL discrimination!!

US Does Not Recognize ‘Legitimacy of Continued Israeli Settlements’
Wednesday September 23, 2009
FOXNews.com
In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace “without preconditions,” President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly earlier today to fire a warning at Israel that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” Fox News reports from New York.
Obama’s stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their “incitement of Israel.”
But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor — and incredulous reaction outside its walls.
Convergence
It is critical that the Church in America understands the times and what needs to be done now. The natural things speak of the invisible. Natural happenings on the earth are revealing something that is going on in the spiritual realm. There is a great spiritual conflict with a rising tide of Islamic boldness being manifested. Several happenings are converging this week.
First of all, our President has recently proclaimed, honored, encouraged the Muslim holy days of prayer and fasting called Ramadan. He was very silent on the National Day of Prayer, but very vocal on the support of Ramadan. Interestingly, at the same time, a major Christian leader of the Emergent Church called for forty days of fasting and prayer in the same Ramadan period with the goal that the Church will better understand our Muslim friends. We are all for understanding, but we must have spiritual discernment as to the spiritual dark powers that are being invoked into our nation.
Cause for Concern
At the same time, on the 25th of September, Muslims are calling for a Muslim Day of Prayer in Washington DC: (http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/). They are calling for 50,000 Muslims to gather and pray on the DC Mall. This is the exact word of one of the Sheikhs who is leading this historic gathering: “Muslims should march on the White House. We are going to the White House so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into a Muslim house.” These are not empty words. They speak of a dark spiritual intent and a coming day of great trouble to America.
Dear Praying Friends,
As the Bible said it would, Jerusalem has become a cup of controversy on the global stage today (Zech. 12:2-3).
RIGHT NOW… there are increasing threats from many nations against God’s covenant city, there are escalating tensions surrounding the inhabitants of the land of Israel, and there are ever-increasing global repercussions for all mankind because of the critical situation.
As these global challenges arise, however, GOD is present. His response has been to stir the hearts of Christians from China to Germany and from Kenya to Brazil, to raise their voices in fervent intercession with His Son on behalf of Jerusalem and all her inhabitants, both Jew and Arab alike.
Are YOU one of those voices?
We are weeks away from a powerful moment. On Sunday, October 4th, tens of millions of Christians in literally every corner of this planet will unite for The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, a day specifically set aside by more than 1,200 global leaders.

It began as the idea of one man in a New Jersey mosque after hearing President Obama speak about the need to reach out to Muslims in America. Now that man, Hassen Abdellah, is trying to mobilize 50,000 fellow Muslims from across the country to gather in front of Capitol Hill at the end of this month and pray for the country.
Abdellah says he’s already obtained a permit from police to gather on Capitol Hill on Sept. 25. And he’s heard from thousands willing to make the trek. “Fundraising is going slow,” he admitted, “but the bottom line is all we’re doing is praying, you don’t need that much money to pray.”
The gathering is not supposed to be political, Abdellah said in an interview. No placards or signs allowed. No major famous imams or popular celebrities scheduled so far. No real agenda other than to pray together.
“We want this to be purely about Islam,” he said. “We want to change the perception of Islam to show we are not terrorists, but that most of us Muslims here love America and abide by its laws.”
Dear friends and family in Christ, We praise the Lord God of the heavens and the earth for further promoting His Spiritual Warfare Operation on Mount Ainsley in Canberra on…
Dear friends and family in Christ,
We’re posting the following email from Salt Shakers for your urgent prayer and action regarding the Acts 4:12 united Christian strategic meetings to counter the Parliament of World Religions in Melbourne.
Dear Pastor/Leaders
We invite you to join us at one of three locations in Melbourne for a Pastors briefing and consultation. In December this year Melbourne will host the ‘Parliament of the World’s Religions’ – a gathering of ‘faith’ groups from around the world.
The two Men organising this event suggested to the Australian Government a few years ago that our Federal Parliament should stop being opened with an exclusively Christian prayer. They argued that this should be replaced by a rotation of prayers by the 17 ‘top’ faiths including ‘no religion’. Some Local Councils have already adopted a roster of prayers at their suggestion and formed ‘Multi-faith Networks’ in their area.

AINA (Assyrian International News Agency)Â | August 8, 2009 | Paul Batou
AINA) — The oppression of the Iraqi Christians started when Arabs occupied the land in the seventh century. Their method of wiping out Christianity from the region involved the implementation of a simple rule: either convert and follow the Islamic banner or pay heavy taxes (which many Christians could not afford) or face war.
Looking at more modern history, the first genocide of the 20th century began on April 24, 1915. By 1918, 2.65 million Christians including 750,000 Assyrians, 1.5 million Armenians, and 400,000 Greeks were killed by the Ottoman Empire and the Kurds. The Assyrians called this genocide “seyfo” which means sword. In 1933, the massacre of Simmele, in Northern Iraq, resulted in the death of 3000 Christians at the hands of the Iraqi Army. This was the first atrocity committed by the new Iraqi state under after gaining independence from the British in 1932. My village Tin, in Northern Iraq, shared a similar fate in 1961.
The American occupation in Iraq did not end the struggles of the native Christians. Under the watch of our Democratic government and the newly established Iraqi government, Christians continue to face persecution. Here is a list of some of the acts of violence committed as reported by the Assyrian International News Agency:
