John Howard: Champion for Israel – Article by Isi Leibler

RE Multi-culturalism
“Howard was concerned that multi-culturalism would encourage minorities to create self-contained enclaves and discourage integration.  Well before Islamic extremism raised its ugly head, he warned that anti-democratic elements would exploit multi-culturalism in order to undermine the open society”.

Re Israel
“Howard’s friendship towards Jews can be traced back to his days as a young lawyer in a legal firm with Jewish principals.  He first visited Israel in 1962 and since then has remained a champion of the Jewish State.  His feelings are best reflected in his own words: ‘The personal affection I have for the State of Israel, the personal regard I have for the Jewish peoeple of the world, will never be diminished.  It is something I hold dearly, something I value as part of my being and as part of what I have tried to do with my life.'”

(After meeting with Arafat, Howard told Leibler): “I want you to know that should Arafat ever renege on the commitments to peace he conveyed today, I give you a solemn undertaking that if I am still prime minister, the Australian Jewish community and the people of Israel will never have reason to feel that I forsook them.”  Howard kept his word.  In subsequent years Australia walked a lonely path, courageously supporting Israel…He never deviated from his commitment.

Danny NalliahExperience / Relationship or Academic? 

After much thought and prayer I have decided to release this article in response to the many emails I received after the prophecy released regarding the next federal election. Most of the emails we received were very positive and thanking God for direction. We also were glad to receive a few extremely negative emails from Christians who were absolutely furious with what I have declared regarding the election. Thank God we are in Australia, we are a democracy, and you certainly have the right to express yourself. And I enjoy reading your comments… (more…)

“… if you’re even vaguely familiar with classical Islamic tradition, you’ll recognise at once that we’ve had our reformation, and it’s called al-Qaeda,” Waleed Aly, prominent Australian Muslim and media commentator

THE world, as the pundits ritually remind us at this time each year, changed drastically and irrevocably with the terrorist attacks on the US on September 11, 2001. And for no group of people has this been more true than for Muslims living in the West.

Ex-KKK leader to speak at presominantly black church

By MEGAN PILLOW     Mooresville Tribune USA  Friday, August 31, 2007

Johnny Lee Clary’s early life reads like a storyline from D.W. Griffith’s infamous 1915 film The Birth of a Nation. Raised in a family plagued by hatred and racism, Clary was recruited at age 14 by David Duke into the Ku Klux Klan and spent the next 16 years in the thrall of the organization.
In time, Clary rose to its pinnacle, becoming the Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the KKK, the most militant and violent of all Klan groups.
But in 1990, at age 30 — and after arrests, infighting among Klan members, and the realization his girlfriend was an FBI  informant — Clary did something nearly unheard of. He broke from the Klan. (more…)

John Anderson Calls For Australia Wide Ban on all Hard Core Pornography

Hello Friends, Prayer Warriors & Intercessors,  (from Chris Burke     Prayer Coordinator    www.prayforme.com.au)
 
The recent report ‘Little Children Are Sacred’ revealed an epidemic of child sexual abuse in the Northern Territory fuelled by alcohol, drugs and pornography. As part of its strategy to combat violence against children the Federal Government has banned pornography in remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. It is also looking at overriding the Northern Territory’s liberal censorship laws, which allow for the sale of explicit pornography and restricting the supply of similar material out of the ACT, which has a large mail-order business.
