As Egypt’s Islamists blame Christians for the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, anti-Christian violence has reached epidemic levels, with an estimated 82 churches across Egypt attacked and heavily damaged by pro-Morsi supporters in a mere 48 hours.
Unfortunately, the persecution of Christians is nothing new in Egypt or other Muslim-majority countries. But thanks to the mainstream media, few Westerners understand the true scale or nature of the horrors involved.
As you read this, Christians around the world are being murdered, raped, plundered, abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, or otherwise oppressed by Muslims. Christians in Muslim-majority areas are some of the most vulnerable and horribly oppressed people on earth; they live at the mercy of the mob and receive little or no protection from the police or other government institutions.
The reach of this silent tragedy is sweeping – a global religious genocide on “slow burn” with occasional conflagrations that make it into the mainstream media. There are an estimated 100 million persecuted Christians.
This massive crime is documented in shocking and painstaking detail in Raymond Ibrahim’s new book Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians. The book is required reading for anyone who cares about religious freedom, human rights, and/or the survival of Christians in their ancestral lands.

LONDON August 19, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Prime Minister of Great Britain met in a London pub this weekend with television comedian and actor Stephen Fry to discuss the decision by the Russian government to outlaw homosexualist propaganda.
In an open letter published on his website, Fry has demanded that the government boycott the upcoming Winter Olympics, to be held in Sochi, Russia.
The government and the International Olympic Committee have already ruled out the possibility of a boycott, but Cameron quickly responded to Fry’s demand with a note on Twitter, saying, “I share your deep concern about the abuse of gay people in Russia. However, I believe we can better challenge prejudice as we attend, rather than boycotting the Winter Olympics.”
Newspaper publisher Evgeny Lebedev invited Fry and Cameron to meet at The Grapes, a pub he co-owns with Sir Ian McKellen, another high-profile actor and homosexual activist.

Thousands made the commute to London’s 02 Arena last week for this year’s Hillsong Conference. Senior Pastor and founder of the Hillsong Church Australia Brian Houston took to the stage to deliver a message on God’s sufficiency and the importance of yielding to the Holy Spirit.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. We need the Holy Spirit, Europe needs the Holy Spirit,” he said.
“It’s not only in the atmosphere of great services, great conferences or great churches where we can know the power of the Holy Spirit. You can know his power in your life. He lives within, he leads us and empowers us.”
Worship was provided by the Hillsong team from their album Glorious Ruins and also present at the conference was the Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Reverend Justin Welby.
Houston shared how God’s favour has been upon the conference. “I genuinely believe that it is God breathed and Heaven sent, otherwise it couldn’t happen. For many years, according to the Australian tourist blogs, the largest national conference in the country year after year is not some business conference, not some self-motivational help conference. It is a church leadership conference about championing the cause of local churches everywhere. That won’t happen if it’s not God breathed and heaven sent,” he said.

Activists hold banners, Lebanese flags and pictures of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad during a sit-in near the US embassy in Awkar, north of Beirut, against potential US strikes on Syria September 6, 2013. As President Barack Obama tries to rally the world around a proposed attack on Syria, Christians and Muslim leaders who met at a conference in Amman this week have come out as strongly opposed.
As President Barack Obama tries to rally the world around a proposed attack on Syria, Arab Christian leaders have come out as strongly opposed, worried an attack could create a backlash against their communities.
At a conference of more than 50 regional Christian leaders and a handful of global Christians and Muslim scholars in Amman this week, the dangers of Western intervention to the region’s Christian minorities emerged as one of the strongest themes. With political Islam on the rise after the Arab uprisings of 2011, the region’s ancient Christian communities are already feeling under threat and have the recent example of the devastation of Iraq’s Christian community following the US-led invasion of 2003 to make them worry about the consequences of action.
“We stress that we reject foreign interference in Syria,” said Ignatius Joseph III Younan, Patriarch of Antioch for the Syrian Catholic Church, in a statement read before the conference, which was sponsored by Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan. (more…)

We also take this opportunity to congratulate our new Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and the LNP Government, on their victory. We also thank our former Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard & the ALP.
This was our first election and I believe that we have done quite well in running 93 candidates across the country. We are so pleased that with limited funding we were relatively successful in getting our brand name ‘RISE UP AUSTRALIA PARTY’ out and known to many people.
Thank you so much for those of you who worked day and night in order to make sure that everything was done well. Thank you so very much for all of you who put your trust in RUAP by voting for us. We still have a chance in securing a Senate seat in Victoria and if successful, I will get the opportunity to serve you in Parliament.
All our Senate and Lower house candidates worked very hard across the country to secure votes and have done their very best. I am so proud of them and thank them from the bottom of my heart, as we all have a passion to Keep Australia Australian for the next generation.

Dear family & friends in Christ, Click the following link to watch and listen to an excellent 7 minute speech on 'The Negative Effects of Multiculturalism' given by Daniel Nalliah,…
If you think Europe will sleep through its Islamisation, you are wrong. Surveys predict a sharp increase of power to Islam-critical parties in coming elections in several European countries. This reflects the Europeans’ increasingly negative attitude towards Islam and Muslim immigration. This does not mean that the explosion of Muslim violence against non-Muslims all over Western Europe will stop, or that the heavily armed Muslim bastions that are eating up thousands of cities on our continent will start obeying secular law and authorities instead of imams and homemade sharia courts. Nor does it mean that Islamic terrorists will quit their plans to destabilize our societies with the use of bombs, poison, kidnappings, highjacking, train derailments, cyber attacks, political lobbying, etc.
What it means is that the final blow between Islam and Europe will happen earlier than many expected. The point where the conflict could have been solved through a full stop for Muslim immigration and refugees, crackdowns on mosques preaching the unrevised and thus unconstitutional version of the Quran, complete rollback of any kind of islamization, effective policing in troubled ghettos, repatriation of criminal and unemployed immigrants without full citizenship, decreased welfare for people unable to speak the country’s language, child support limited to two children, paid repatriation, and much heavier sentences for engaging in gang-related crimes, violence and rape (with the possibility to get a cut in the sentence if they emigrate to a non-EU country) without losing blood, sweat and tears fighting civil war-like riots and organised Islamic guerrilla groups was passed more than a decade ago.

Dear friends,
1) Over the past few weeks, Rise Up Australia Party teams have campaigned outside the AFL games in Melbourne, including Essendon vs. Richmond last Saturday.
It was such a fantastic time of campaigning as we successfully gave out thousands of RUAP brochures.
As tens of thousands of people packed the street, there was off and on shouts of “Rise Up, Rise Up”. Many people were very challenged to see us standing out in the cold campaigning. Many stated, “You guys are real passionate. It was so encouraging, as some had already voted for Rise Up Australia Party.
2) Father’s Day was such an amazing day as thousands watched the live webcast on the RUAP website. National President Daniel Nalliah gave an amazing speech titled “I Have A Dream”. This was well received by the people and many were in tears.
Many came up for a hug. As Daniel gave the people a hug and said “I love you as a father,” many started weeping.
Some travelled 2 hours by train to get a hug.
Daniel stated, “Our nation desperately needs real father figures in Society & Government. I have a dream to see hope restored back into our nation. I just don’t want to be a politician. I want to serve my nation and people with a heart of love. We have had enough of plastic politicians. People are really looking for REAL PEOPLE in Government.”

Iran has been referred to as a post-Islamist society – one in which conservative religious discourse and practices are losing their hold after decades of state promulgation. Iranians’ perspectives on the holy month of Ramadan, observed in Iran this year from 10 July to 8 August, appear to underline that view.
During Ramadan, in addition to taking special care to avoid certain sins mentioned in the Qur’an, Muslims must abstain from food or drink of any kind during daylight hours, a long stretch in the middle of the summer. The first call to prayer arrives shortly after 4am and the final call just after 8pm. The rules must be abided by throughout, and the summer heat – this year regularly nearing 40C – doesn’t make the job any easier.
Tehran’s Vanak Square bustles with hyperkinetic foot traffic at six in the evening. Maliheh, a 56-year-old employee at an car company who has come to pick up prescription medicine, shares her thoughts on Ramadan. “You know, I just love the atmosphere,” she says.
Asked what she loves most about it, she sneers. “Seriously? Who could find anything to like about this? Seventeen hours of fasting in 40-degree weather? It’s a living hell! We all sneak bites here and there at work, save for a few people who are scared about not getting promotions and whatnot,” she says with a laugh.
