When Islamists and Secularists Agree

Crisis Magazine ^ | June 30, 2016 | Tom Hoopes

Many commentators tried to implicate Christians in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Orlando. But might it not be true that Western secularists have more in common with Isis than Christians?

The two realities of Islamic extremism and Western consumerism are like shadowy doppelgangers showing up each other’s bankruptcy. Consider:

  1. ISIS and secularists have both created aggressive sexual playgrounds for men.

At first glance, the two foes’ attitudes toward sex look utterly different.

In the West, the Sexual Revolution strains against any restriction on sexual expression. That loose attitude toward sexuality is one of the signs of decadence in the West that enrages Islamicists.

But dig a little deeper and the picture starts to change. (more…)

Contemporary Christian band from India packs two Toronto concerts

TORONTO, Ontario, July 4, 2016 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Catholic contemporary Christian band from India has sold out two venues in the Toronto this coming weekend with a hard-hitting message aimed at youth.

Rexband is the musical outreach of the Jesus Youth Movement, which sprang up in Kerala, India’s southernmost state when many charismatic youth groups merged in 1985 to mark the International Year of Youth. Now, Jesus Youth International Director of Youth Formation Manoj Sunny told LifeSite News, it has a presence in 30 countries, always with a strong pro-life theme.

Rexband, which started in 1991,adopted the same pro-life thrust in 1995, said Manoj, after “Pope John Paul II gave out the call to build a ‘culture of life’ in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae.” Since then, said Manoj, “a pro-life message has been at the centre of all of our concerts, wherever we go, irrespective of the country or culture in which we are called to perform.”

Muslims shocked at attack on Baghdad during Ramadan

July 5, 2016 – by Robert Spencer

Here is yet another mainstream media “ISIS is not Islamic” story; this one has more substance than most, and is frankly deceptive, as well as unintentionally illuminating even as it does its best to conceal Islam’s violent doctrines. Note, first off, that the Muslims are shocked by the attack in Baghdad, and Tarek asks, “How can these people kill Muslims during Ramadan?”

Nothing about the killings of non-Muslims in Orlando, Tel Aviv, Bangladesh (where those who could recite the Qur’an were not killed), and elsewhere.

This is because the Qur’an forbids a Muslim to kill a fellow Muslim (4:92) but exhorts Muslims to kill non-Muslims (2:191, 4:89, 9:5, 47:4).

So this entire expression of shock and grief over Baghdad, and Baghdad alone, is actually a manifestation of Islamic supremacism, not compassion as it is understood by non-Muslims.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but virtually all terrorists are Muslims

US Defense Watch ^ | June 21, 2016 | Ray Starmann

Last week, in the wake of the Orlando shooting, Fox News analyst and former US Army Intelligence officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters stated that “Not all Muslims are Terrorists, but Virtually All Terrorists are Muslims.” Exacto-mundo compadre.

Meanwhile…on Fantasy Island…

The Obama Administration and its cowardly and delusional acolytes of diversity and political correctness in the DOJ, the FBI, the DHS and the military are living in a holographic Land of Oz.

By direction of the White House and its minions, you can’t say radical Islam, jihad or Sharia, the FBI better not do surveillance on mosques, two bombs a day keeps ISIS away and we wouldn’t want to insult the people trying to kill us.

Obama’s motto is: “Don’t Tread on ISIS.”

Trump meets 1000 pro-life, evangelical leaders: pledges pro-life justices

NEW YORK, New York, June 21, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Over 1000 evangelical, pro-life and conservative leaders assembled for a closed-door meeting with Donald Trump Tuesday, ready to size up the presumptive GOP nominee and his commitment to issues of concern to faith-based voters.

Originally planned as a private gathering of 400 social conservatives, “A Conversation About America’s Future with Donald Trump” was organized by the Christian groups United in Purpose and My Faith Votes.

Attendees of the invitation-only event were treated to a mixed bag of answers from Trump and came away with varied reactions.

The event drew some 50,000 questions for Trump on topics such as religious freedom, homosexuality, abortion and Supreme Court appointees, submitted to organizers in advance.

Religious leaders heard responses to their liking from Trump in the areas of religious freedom and potential Supreme Court appointments, but some expressed concern afterwards that he didn’t say enough on the life issue, and appeared to skirt other matters, including directly addressing threats to religious liberty via the advance of the gay rights agenda.

Prayer Moves Mountains / Australian Election Major Shift – by Ps Daniel

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Once again, thank you so very much for your physical, financial, moral and most of all, prayer support.

The results in Australia’s last election were unexpected for many, as the major parties lost several seats, with mostly conservative minor parties with moral values, winning seats.

Unfortunately, RUAP did not win any seats, but did quite well in the elections. In some electorates we received almost 5 times the vote compared to the last election.

We all know how God used a ungodly king called Cyrus to fulfil His plans. Likewise some of the candidates from varying political parties, who were elected into the Senate, are not Christians, but are standing for some very good values, although we at RUAP do not necessarily agree with some of their policies.

Let us start with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party.  I met her 6 months ago for the very first time. Contrary to what I have heard about her from the media and others over the past 18 years, I saw a completely different person. She was very kind and very friendly. So much so that our preferences of each other were very high up in the order.

As Muslims pray and fast during Ramadan, ‘Man in White’ appears in dreams and visions

June 13, 2016 – by Mark Ellis

Jesus appeared in dreams to this descendant of Muhammad

As hundreds of millions of Muslims fast and pray during Ramadan this month, with many seeking to grow closer to Allah, others are finding Jesus.

“God is moving very powerfully using dreams and visions Muslims are having of the Man in white, of Jesus Himself,” author Joel Rosenberg told CBN recently.

He quoted a 19-page study describing an extraordinary move of God among Muslims.

“From 1960 to 2010, the number of Muslims that have converted to faith in Jesus Christ has grown from fewer than 200,000 to some 10 million people” Rosenberg told CBN.

204 Queensland babies were born alive during abortions then left to die: Health Minister

QUEENSLAND, Australia, June 15, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)

The number of babies born alive during late-term abortions in the Australian state of Queensland every year more than tripled in ten years, Health Minister Cameron Dick told the Queensland Parliament as it considers a bill to legalize abortion on demand in the state.

Abortion is illegal in Queensland except when deemed necessary for the “preservation of the mother’s life,” which courts have interpreted to include physical and mental health.

Dick reported that the number of late-term abortions resulting in live births jumped from eight in 2005 to 27 in 2015.  There have been a total of 204 live births from late-term abortions from 2005 to 2015.  Queensland Health confirmed that these babies are not cared for after their birth and are left to die in abortion centers.
