Petition to Congress Claims US Aiding Muslim Brother in Oppression of Christians

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter – August 13, 2012

A petition aimed at Congress is seeking to expose President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s alleged support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, a conservative Islamic group said to be endangering the lives of Christians in the Middle East with its influence on the new government.

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi’s Freedom and Justice Party is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is reportedly working toward establishing Sharia law in the country, which observers say threatens the religious liberties and even lives of those who are not Islamic.

“In fact, in his speech at his swearing-in ceremony on Friday, June 29, 2012, he promised to try to free the Egyptian-born militant Islamist, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who was convicted of planning to attack other New York City landmarks after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center,” the petition states.

The letter, published on Petition2Congress and bearing no information as to who produced it, also claims that thousands of Christian minorities in the Middle East are being forced to flee their homes as the threat of radical Islam grows bigger. It also claims that in the first 10 days of this year’s Ramadan, there have reportedly been eight big attacks on Christians in Egypt alone.

Homosexuality a personal choice, says New Zealand Conservative Party leader

New Zealand Herald ^ posted on Saturday, August 04, 2012 by gareththomasnz

Conservative Party leader Colin Craig has sparked outrage by saying homosexuality is a choice and gay people are more likely to have been abused as children.

The comments on TV3’s The Nation this morning came in a discussion with Labour MP Louisa Wall over her bill to legalise same-sex marriage.

Asked if he thought the bill might encourage homosexuality, Mr Craig replied people chose to be homosexual and factors other than genetics could determine whether someone was gay.

“I think most people recognise that there are other influences such as upbringing, such as events in life,” he said.

“For homosexuals, they are statistically far more likely to have suffered child abuses as a child… It certainly can make a difference in someone’s choices in life, there’s no question about that in my mind.”

Muslim Man’s Desperate Cries to Muhammad Go Unanswered, Then He Calls Out to God—and Meets Jesus

Aimee Herd (Aug 10, 2012)

“He said, ‘I am the God of the Christians.’ And He said, ‘I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.'” -Nasir Siddiki

In an incredible account of miraculous healing and redemption, Nasir Siddiki shared his testimony with Charisma News, recently, reminding Believers that “love never fails,” and that it will prevail in every situation.

Siddiki was a Muslim businessman when he broke out in a life-threatening case of shingles back in 1987. His blisters spread from his forehead down the side of his face, neck and on his shoulders. His ear became deformed with the extremely painful virus, and his temperature raged at 107.6 degrees.

At the time, Toronto General Hospital in Canada—where Siddiki lay fighting off death—called it the worst case of shingles in the hospital’s history.

Siddiki told Charisma News how he—on the verge of death—cried out to Muhammad; with silence his only answer. Alone and afraid, he remembered some of the stories he’d heard about the prophet Jesus, and prayed, “God if You’re real, don’t let me die.”

According to the report, Siddiki was passionate as he described the One who suddenly entered his hospital room, “It was the outline of a Person. I couldn’t see the facial features because there was so much light shining from this Person.”

“This Person spoke without opening Their mouth . . . He said, ‘I am the God of the Christians.’ And He said, ‘I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’

Siddiki stated emphatically, “It was Jesus Christ.”

What Is a Christian?

By Dan Delzell , Special to Christian Post – August 5, 2012

So what exactly is a Christian? Is it a person who believes certain things? Or maybe a person who does certain things? Or is it perhaps a person who experiences certain things? Yes. Bingo. That is correct….on all counts. All three of those characteristics describe what it means to be a Christian.

You cannot be a Christian without believing in Jesus as your Savior. Secondly, you are not a Christian unless you experience “streams of living water” flowing within you. That is the presence of God inside your body and soul. Without that experience, you are not born again no matter how much window dressing there may be in your outer life of religion and morality. Finally, you are not a Christian if you are not following Jesus. That is the “doing” part.

Your entrance into Christianity begins with belief. At that moment, you also experience the new birth. The streams of living water which enter you at conversion immediately begin to propel you in the direction of serving God, loving God, and loving others.

Jesus said, “If a man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” (John 7:37,38) That is the wellspring of God….and it flows within every Christian….within each person who has been converted, that is, born again.

Islam’s Universal Economic Failure

Posted by Daniel Greenfield Bio ? on Aug 1st, 2012

If Romney accomplished nothing else during his Israeli visit, he did manage to offend every single Palestinian Arab terrorist group, all of whom, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP and the DFLP, issued press releases denouncing him. American media outlets have been denouncing him for saying that the GDP Per Capita differences between Israel and the Palestinian Authority represent a contrast in values.

The official media narrative is that these differences are the results of oppression, checkpoints and blockades. But then why does the IMF put Israel’s GDP Per Capita well ahead of the oil-rich kingdom of Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia has no Israeli checkpoints, no Israeli soldiers or planes flying overhead. It has wealth literally pouring out of the ground with a fifth of the world’s petroleum reserves. And yet the IMF puts it 13 places behind Israel and the World Bank puts it 8 places behind Israel. The only Muslim countries with a better GDP Per Capita than Israel are small monarchies drowning in oil.

The non-oil Muslim countries who are closest to Israel are Malaysia and Lebanon, 32 and 33 places behind Israel. Both countries also have sizable non-Muslim populations. Muslims make up only 50 percent of Lebanon and only 60 percent of Malaysia. No Muslim country without oil has a better GDP Per Capita than a Muslim country with sizable Christian or Buddhist minorities.

Evangelical Population Explodes in Brazil as Catholic Church Shows Signs of Decline

By Andrea Madambashi , Christian Post Correspondent – July 1, 2012

The evangelical population of Brazil increased by 16 million people over the 10 year period from 2000 to 2010 to 42.3 million, according to census results from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) published Friday.

The 2010 census results reveal that over the three decades to 2010 the percentage of evangelicals jumped from 6.6 percent to 22.2 percent of the overall Brazilian population; making it the fastest growing religious segment in the Latin American country.

However, despite the rapid evangelical growth, the Catholic population has decreased over the same 10 year period. In 2000 the Catholic population represented 73.6 percent of Brazil’s population, but by 2010 that percentage had decreased to under two-thirds at 64.6 percent.

What is Sharia?

Posted by Dr. Hans Jansen Bio  on Jul 16th, 2012 

The Islamic Sharia is a system of law. It is a collection of prohibitions, admonitions and commands about human behavior. The Sharia is not an internal matter that only concerns Islam and Muslims. The Sharia includes a large number of provisions about people who are not Muslims. These rules are usually prohibitions that carry severe penalties if violated. These provisions of the Sharia make life unsafe and uncertain for someone who lives under Sharia law and who is not a Muslim.

Under Sharia law, someone who is not a Muslim possesses no inalienable rights. If I am wrong here, I will be relieved, and happy to stand corrected and receive your e-mails pointing out why I am wrong. But if I am right, a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay possesses more rights than a Jew or a Christian who lives under Sharia law.

Unlike the legal systems of most modern nation states, Sharia law is not subject to democratic supervision. Like international law and rabbinic law, Sharia law is an academic affair: experts discuss and debate the rules until they reach an agreement. Sharia law does not know a parliament or a government that acts as legislator, but the rules of the Sharia come into being by being agreed upon by the experts, that is, the Islamic religious leaders, the professional Muslims, the Ulama, Ayatollahs, or whatever these dignitaries are called.

Powerful Testimony – Deaf ear opens in Toronto, Canada / Pray for Pr Daniel’s Radio Interview and Further Ministry in Ohio & San Francisco, USA

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) All glory to our King of kings and LORD of lords, Christ Jesus, as Pr Daniel’s current ministry tour of US & Canada has been absolutely amazing so far!

I’m sure he will have a lot to share when he returns to Australia, but we thought that we’ll share this exciting testimony of a lady who was 100% deaf in her left ear, and how the Lord healed her last Sunday night in Holy Spirit miracle healing revival meetings in Toronto, Canada!

Pr Daniel preached the Word of God and then called out for people who wanted a healing touch to come forward as many people responded to the altar call. Among them was the Senior Pastor’s wife who was completely deaf in her left ear.

She had gone to many specialists first in Canada, then in the US, and their response was very disappointing, as they told her after several tests that they could do nothing to restore her hearing in her left ear.

She stated, “Watching and receiving emails from Catch The Fire Ministries in Australia greatly encouraged me to trust in God for my miracle. I read many reports of God using Pr Daniel to open up deaf ears and I was expecting my miracle. As I was on a church camp, I was only able to attend the Sunday night service and I trusted God for my miracle to come through Pr Daniel praying for me.”

Well, all glory to God, that miracle did come as Pr Daniel laid his hands on her ears and prayed, instantly the left ear opened up and her hearing was restored as the whole church erupted with claps and shouts of joy!

Following are two different video links, one of the lady receiving prayer and the other of her sharing her testimony with tears of joy.

Mitt Romney Delivers – Foreign Policy Speech From Israel

July 29, 2012 by Fox News Insider 

Mitt Romney today delivered remarks to the Jerusalem Foundation in Jerusalem, Israel. Read the full transcript below:

Thank you for that kind introduction, Mayor Barkat, and thank you all for that warm welcome. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be in Israel again.

To step foot into Israel is to step foot into a nation that began with an ancient promise made in this land. The Jewish people persisted through one of the most monstrous crimes in human history, and now this nation has come to take its place among the most impressive democracies on earth. Israel’s achievements are a wonder of the modern world.

These achievements are a tribute to the resilience of the Israeli people. You have managed, against all odds, time and again throughout your history, to persevere, to rise up, and to emerge stronger.

The historian Paul Johnson, writing on the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Jewish state, said that over the course of Israel’s life, 100 completely new independent states had come into existence. “Israel is the only one whose creation can fairly be called a miracle,” Johnson wrote.

It is a deeply moving experience to be in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

Decision by Netanyahu, Barak to strike Iran is almost final — Israel TV

By Times of Israel staff August 11, 2012

PM believes Iran’s regime is aiming to ‘destroy the Jewish people,’ does not think Obama will resort to force. Nuclear drive ‘further ahead’ than previously thought. In a year, Israeli action could have only ‘negligible effect’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have “almost finally” decided on an Israeli strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities this fall, and a final decision will be taken “soon,” Israel’s main TV news broadcast reported on Friday evening.

Channel 2 News, the country’s leading news program, devoted much of its Friday night broadcast to the issue, detailing the pros and cons that, it said, have taken Netanyahu and Barak to the brink of approving an Israeli military attack despite opposition from the Obama administration and from many Israeli security chiefs.

Critically, the station’s diplomatic correspondent Udi Segal said, Israel does not believe that the US will take military action as Iran closes in on the bomb.

The US, the TV report said, has not provided Israel with details of an attack plan. President Obama has not promised to attack Iran if all else fails. Conditions cited by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for an American attack do not calm Israeli concerns. And Obama has a record of seeking UN and Arab League approval before action. All these factors, in Jerusalem’s mind, underline the growing conviction of Netanyahu and Barak that Israel will have to tackle Iran alone, the TV report said.

CHRISTIANS FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES AS MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD START CRUCIFIXIONS IN EGYPT

World Net Daily – 21st August 2012

The Arab Spring takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood has run amok, with reports from several different media agencies that the radical Muslims have begun crucifying opponents of newly installed President Mohammed Morsi.

Middle East media confirm that during a recent rampage, Muslim Brotherhood operatives “crucified those opposing Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi naked on trees in front of the presidential palace while abusing others.”

Raymond Ibrahim, a fellow with the Middle East Forum and the Investigative Project on Terrorism, said the crucifixions are the product of who the Middle Eastern media call “partisans.”

“Arabic media call them ‘supporters,’ ‘followers’ and ‘partisans’ of the Muslim Brotherhood,” Ibraham said.

Ibrahim also says the victims can be anyone, including Egyptian Christians.

“It’s anyone who is resisting the new government,” Ibrahim said. “In this particular case, the people attacked and crucified were secular protesters upset because of Morsi’s hostile campaign against the media, especially of Tawfik Okasha, who was constantly exposing him on his station, until Morsi shut him down.”

Billy Graham’s Letter to the USA: “My heart aches for America”

Billy Graham (Aug 13, 2012)

“The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control.”

Some years ago, my wife, Ruth, was reading the draft of a book I was writing. When she finished a section describing the terrible downward spiral of our nation’s moral standards and the idolatry of worshiping false gods such as technology and sex, she startled me by exclaiming, “If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”

She was probably thinking of a passage in Ezekiel where God tells why He brought those cities to ruin. “Now this was the sin of . . . Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before Me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen” (Ezekiel 16:49–50, NIV).

I wonder what Ruth would think of America if she were alive today. In the years since she made that remark, millions of babies have been aborted and our nation seems largely unconcerned. Self-centered indulgence, pride, and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.

Just a few weeks ago in a prominent city in the South, Christian chaplains who serve the police department were ordered to no longer mention the Name of Jesus in prayer. It was reported that during a recent police-sponsored event, the only person allowed to pray was someone who addressed “the being in the room.” Similar scenarios are now commonplace in towns across America. Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone—except God.

Yet the farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control.
