The Presidency
Obama's rebels target Christian schools, kill 14 kids - During the last seven days mortars supplied to Obama's Syrian rebels by the CIA have been used to target Christian schools in Damascus. So far,14 children have been killed in these attacks, with many more permanently injured. Read more
Obama forced to designate Boko Haram as terror group - Faced with very embarrassing testimony at a Congressional hearing held by Congressman Chris Smith, the State Department finally designated the Boko Haram as a terrorist group. It will now be illegal for mosques in the United States to raise and send funds to this Islamic terrorist organization. Read more
Congress
A great loss by a great friend - Senator James Inhofe, a great friend of the Religious Freedom Coalition, lost his son Perry in an aircraft accident this week. Senator Inhofe has held a pilot's license for more than 50 years. His son was an orthopedic surgeon in Tulsa, and his death is a loss to the community. Read more
Startling testimony at Chris Smith held hearing - Congressman Chris Smith's subcommittee on terrorism held a hearing about the Boko Haram threat on November 11th. Striking first hand testimony came from one of Boko Haram's victims, Habila Adamu of Yobe state. Adamu said he was challenged to renounce his Christian faith, but when he refused to do so, he was shot in the head and left for dead. He was the only adult male Christian survivor of that attack.

Religion and Culture
Air Force says "no" to God in oath - The Air Force Academy, probably under orders from Barack Obama, has changed the oath of allegiance to the United States to remove references to God. Congressman Sam Johnson, who was a POW during the Vietnam War, has become personally outraged by the action and has introduced legislation to change the policy. Read more
International
Syria: Opps, Wrong guy beheaded - Islam is a religion of death. The very tenets of Islam promote murder, rape and theft. It is then no surprise that the ruthless killers of the Islamic terrorist group Islamic State Of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) beheaded a Muslim named Mohammed Fares and stuck his head on a stick and posted the horrific incident on YouTube. Other Obama supported terrorists who happened to be watching beheadings on YouTube for fun recognized him as one of their own. Read more
Nigeria: Tens of thousands of Christians made refugees by Boko Haram - Islamic extremist Boko Haram insurgents have driven thousands of Christians from areas of Borno state, and some of those remaining are unable to hold worship services, church leaders said. Boko Haram attacks that killed at least 150 members of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa a Nigeria, or EYN) in the past 10 months have caused 8,000 Christians to flee. Read More
Pakistan: Christian civil rights leader survives attempted assassination --again - One of Pakistan's leading Christian lawyers confirmed Monday, November 11, that he has survived another apparent assassination attempt by suspected Islamic militants. "I am being targeted by extremists who want me to end my legal support to victims in blasphemy cases," said Sardar Musthtag Gill. Read more

Report From Washington - August 10, 2012

ISRAEL FACT FINDING MISSION - A once in a lifetime mission led by William J. Murray, William Federer and Frank Gaffney, all three experts on Israel and Islamic affairs. Not a standard "tour," the mission includes visits to settlements and military bases plus evening panels. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY
Obama increases lead - According to a new Fox News poll, Barack Hussein Obama has increased his lead over Mitt Romney in the last 30 days. Obama now leads Romney by 9 points according to the poll. An associate of mine who operates a poll by cell phone, shows Obama ahead by only four points. In electoral votes Obama is up 370 to 145 according to most polls. With nearly 50% of Americans receiving government checks of some kind, Obama is going to be harder to beat with Romney concentrating just on economic issues. Mitt Romney's refusal to bring social issues into the process may lose him the election.

Romney digs hole deeper on social issues - Despite losing ground in the polls as he tries to run only on economic issues, Mitt Romney took time out to attack the Boy Scouts. Yes ... the Boy Scouts. His spokeswoman said on the issue that Romney still stands by his 1994 statement in which he said "I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation."

Ads tell truth about Obama - The Religious Freedom Coalition has been conducting an aggressive campaign to stop the war on religious freedom being waged by the Obama Administration. During this critical year of decision the Religious Freedom Coalition will run advertisements in key newspapers asking Congress to curtail Barack Obama's secularist agenda of radically changing our nation. Learn more today

CONGRESS
Both Houses in recess - The House will reconvene on Monday, September 10th with the first vote occurring after 6:30 PM. Although the media would like to portray any recess as a "vacation," that is far from the truth. Most congressmen work six days a week in their district offices, meeting with constituents. Each congressman has more than a quarter of a million people in his or her district, many of whom demand direct contact which they can't get when the congressman is in Washington, DC.

In defense of Michele Bachmann - On Wednesday, August 8th former Federal Prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy addressed a standing-room only crowd at the National Press Club's on Muslim Brotherhood influence operations in the United States. McCarthy presented the briefing as a response to attacks on the "National Security Five." These five members of Congress - Representatives Michele Bachmann (MN) Louie Gohmert (TX), Trent Franks (AZ), Lynn Montgomery (GA) and Tom Rooney (FL) - have asked the Inspectors General of federal departments to investigate evidence of Muslim Brotherhood influence operations within the U.S. government.

RELIGION AND CULTURE
U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman honors martyred Olympic Jews - The music for Aly Raisman's gold medal winning floor routine at the Summer Olympics was chosen by her as a tribute to the Israeli athletes who died at the hands of Muslm terrorists during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. The music was based on the traditional Jewish song, Hava Nagila. "I am Jewish, that's why I wanted that floor music," Aly told the New York Post. "I wanted something the crowd could clap to, especially being here in London." Read more and see floor routine.

Cop punished for eating Chick-fil-A sandwich - A Dallas, Texas police officer is facing punishment for eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich in front of two openly lesbian officers who serve on the very politically correct Dallas police force. They claim he "stared" at them while eating the sandwich. Read more

Chick-fil-A is not alone - There are other outspoken Christian businesses. Since 1997, Hobby Lobby has placed, during certain holidays, full page newspaper ads that glorify the Lord and advocate Christian values. Ads appear each Christmas, Easter and even Independence Day. The ads are powerful; some ads have reached as many as 44 million newspaper readers. Read more and see some of the ads.

INTERNATIONAL
Afghanistan: Three US troops killed by Afghan police chief - The American media is reporting that a man "dressed as" an Afghan soldier killed three U.S. servicemen. This is a deception. The killer was actually an Afghan police commander who invited the three to dinner at his home and then gunned them down while they ate, as guests in his home. This is the third such attack by a member of the Afghan military or police force in just on week. Read more

Egypt: Suicide bombing declared mainstream - Egyptian cleric Hashem Islam Ali Islam, a member of the Fatwa Committee of Al-Azhar, made extremely radical statements in an appearance on Al Aqsa TV on July 12, 2012. In Egypt, Al Azhar is considered to represent moderate, mainstream Islam. He has declared that suicide bombing is a religious duty. Read more

Pakistan: Lawyer kills sister in court - A Muslim lawyer shot dead his own sister in an 'honor killing' in a packed courtroom "because he was opposed to her marriage." Sharia law trumps civil law in all family affairs in Islamic nations. Read more

UK - Honor killing of 16 year old - The parents of Shafilea Ahmed have at long last been found guilty of murdering the 17-year-old, who was killed because they believed she had brought shame on the family. The verdict at Chester crown court comes after a three-month trial, and almost nine years after Shafilea was killed for defying her parents' wishes for an arranged marriage in Pakistan to a much older man.

Chairman’s Report for August 2, 2012

THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA AND OUR DWINDLING FREEDOMS – Every social conservative should read Friedrich von Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom. While the book is constantly quoted by economic conservatives such as Congressman Paul Ryan, and while Hayek was in fact an economist, the core of the book is about more than economics; it’s about how individual freedom is lost as governments consolidate power.
The central point of The Road to Serfdom is that it is impossible to have both central planning and individual freedoms. We can see this playing out today; for instance, a small business owned by a Roman Catholic family in Denver refused to buy the federally mandated health insurance covering birth control, the morning after pill and sterilization. The Obama Justice Department told the family that they could either provide the insurance as ordered by the government, or shut down the business. The case is still in the courts.

Then there is the ongoing saga of Chick-fil-A.

By the way of full disclosure, I have met with the founder of Chick-fil-A, S. Truett Cathy. His first name is actually Sam, but he prefers Truett. I met with him last year at the Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia on my way to speak at a youth facility in Pine Mountain supported by a Chick-fil-A foundation. I have been in many corporate headquarters in the last three decades, including that of News Corp. The Chick-fil-A headquarters is the only major corporate office I have ever been in that I can describe as happy. Every employee – hundreds of them – have a free lunch there every day. The company is about a lot more than profit.

The 91-year-old Truett Cathy is as sharp today as when he started the business. I was introduced to him as “Bill Murray” and he said, “You’re the son of that atheist who took prayer from the schools. I read your book back in 1962.” This man loves the Lord and that love has been handed down through four generations of his family.

Under the utopian, central planning system that Barack Obama wants to force upon America, this family and their business must be punished for openly honoring the Word of God.  When Truett’s son Don made the public statement that the family and business support “traditional marriage” the attack by Obama’s team began.

Rahm Emanuel, who ran President Barack Obama’s White House for two years as his Chief of Staff, has vowed to shut down any business in Chicago whose owners say they are Christians and who oppose homosexuality. He very pointedly said that Chick-fil-A would not get another business permit in Chicago. Rahm Emanuel is not just the mayor of Chicago; he has been a spokesman for the Barack Obama campaign and a close advisor to the President. The mayor stated that those who practice free speech will not be allowed to do business in his city.

Some say I exaggerate that Obama is conducting a war on religious freedom. What more proof is needed?  The advertising campaign to warn America of Obama’s plans is critically needed during this key year of decision.


OBAMA AD RUNNING IN VIRGINIA – Since the last Chairman’s Report, our newspaper ads exposing Barack Obama as the most dangerous president ever to religious freedom have continued to run. The ads began in Florida and we have now expanded to North and South Carolina and Virginia. We are now investigating appropriate markets in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I would very much like to go back into Florida and run the ad in four newspapers we were forced to skip because of cost.

See full list of newspapers running our ad

Winter Haven is a huge retirement area with several mega-churches that would be helpful in pressuring Congress to act against the Obama agenda. The same is true of Bradenton where the very large Christian Retreat is located. But, as I said, the ads are expensive. About $10,000 more is needed for the Florida project. The four newspapers I want to go back to in Florida are

The Ledger – Winter Haven
Florida Today – Titusville, Melbourne
Bradenton Herald – Bradenton
Charlotte Sun – Arcadia, Wauchula

You may note that we ran our ad twice in the Black Mountain News in Black Mountain, North Carolina. This was done because several very large Christian summer camps are located there and people we want to reach rotate through that area. We may run the ad in Black Mountain again in August once or twice.

Please note that the first ad placed directly by a supporter of the Religious Freedom Coalition appeared in a Nebraska newspaper on July 3^rd. If you live in a smaller community where there is little political commentary, you may be able to place the ad for some nominal cost. You may even have a small weekly newspaper in your area that we are not aware of, in which you can place one of the Obama ads. We can even help reformat the ad for your local newspaper if you will pay for the cost of the ad space.

To help place the ad, simply print off a copy from www.savingreligiousfreedom.org and give it to the ad department of your local newspaper. They can probably format the ad right then and there to a quarter, third or half page ad and give you the cost. If the newspaper needs us to format the ad they can call our Washington office at 202.543.0300.

We can make a difference in stopping Barack Obama’s attacks on religious freedom.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, OUR LORD AND PRAYER

Other than this Chairman’s Report I write a weekly update that appears at our Internet site at ReligiousFreedomCoalition.org. I also write numerous op-eds and other articles for several publications including newspapers. Many of my articles appear in World Net Daily which most people know as wnd.com. Just in July, I wrote three major articles for wnd.com including one on school prayer entitled Secularization does not ‘revitalize Christianity’.

For the most part I never reprint the articles I write for other publications in the Chairman’s Report. However, I’m making an exception this month. On my way back from the Middle East I wrote an article entitled Praying for Victory. The article was short, but to the point. Christians in the West, particularly evangelical Christians pray defensively while Muslims pray for our destruction. The article is below as it appeared at wnd.com and in other publications.

*****

Praying for Victory

 

It was about a two years into the second Gulf War and things weren’t going too well. George W. Bush had made the fatal mistake of disbanding the Iraqi Army and police force, leaving the nation lawless. Islamist fighters, who were very happy that the secularist government of Iraq had been overthrown by the United States, flowed into Iraq to finish the job by creating a Sharia state.

It was 2003 and I had been invited to speak at a Texas church. At the opening of the service the pastor asked the congregation to pray for the protection of service members from the church who were in Iraq and Afghanistan. Suddenly I was hit with this thought: Why are we praying only defensive prayers, why are we not asking God to give our brave servicemen victory in the field?

I actually spoke that day on my experiences on 9-11. That fateful day I was on the 14^th Street bridge crossing the Potomac River, when flight 77 was flown into the Pentagon by Islamists. I was trying to get a message out from nearly the first day, a warning that this was just the beginning of a hundred year’s war. However, with President George W. Bush singing “religion of peace” from the bully pulpit, few wanted to hear my message.

At the conclusion of the service I asked the pastor if he had ever led his congregation in prayer asking God to give our troops victory. He just sort of stared at me for a minute or so. Finally he simply said “no.” As we talked it was obvious he felt uncomfortable with the thought. The evangelical church had developed a message over the past few decades that Christ Jesus is only about peace and He came to comfort the sick, the grieving and to save the lost. Today, most in the evangelical church turn to Jesus only for personal matters, such as the health of a loved one, finding a better job, selling a house or bringing a lost child to Christ.

Over the years I have brought the subject up in various places, as our very well armed and educated troops in the field were beaten back again and again. Finally George W. Bush declared victory in Iraq where there was none. Obama pulled the troops out, leaving a wounded nation and people. The only real accomplishment of the second Iraqi war was the eradication of the Christian community in Iraq. The Islamists have raped Christian women, stolen Christian homes, murdered Christian men and blown up churches until 80% of the Christian population has fled. There is no democracy, and other than corrupt officials in the new government, no one in Iraq has benefited from our invasion.

Did anyone ever pray for our victory in Iraq or for our way of life to be shared there? Maybe, I just don’t know. I asked several army chaplains if they had ever led men in prayer for victory on the field of battle and the answer was no. The prayers were defensive, they were for protection. I continued to talk to church pastors, and one day asked my Sunday School class to pray for victory. For a few weeks the class did do that, but soon we were back to asking the Lord only for personal help with health or finances.

I wanted to start a campaign to get churches to pray for our troops to be victorious, but the suffering of Christians in the Middle East and my ministry there kept me away from any organized efforts. That is, until my latest trip to an area of conflict in the Middle East.

I must stop and thank God that the “rebels” I encountered on this trip had no idea who I was. Fortunately I was with members of the Muslim Brotherhood and under their protection. The Brotherhood had something to prove to me, which they did; however, it was not what they wanted to prove. I did learn a lot about the “fog of war”, as I met dozens of men who had no idea why they were fighting, other than for the glory of Allah. Some, I don’t think were even sure what nation they were in. What I did learn very well is how the Islamists pray.

Every sermon calls for the destruction of the enemies of Islam. Every prayer calls for victory of Islam in armed conflict. Every prayer calls for the destruction of the Jews first, their current enemy second, and finally America.

The difference was striking. While American Christians pray for better cars, the Islamists pray for the total and complete destruction of Christianity, democracy and the American way of life. While Christians here pray for the safety of a particular soldier who is from one of our churches, the Islamists pray for the death of every American soldier at the hands of an Islamist martyr. For the Islamists Christians ask God to “open the eyes of the unbelievers.” The eyes of the “unbelievers” are open, and looking down the sites of gun barrels at us.

During World War II virtually every church in the United Kingdom and the United States prayed every Sunday for an Allied victory. That was the last war in which we won a total victory. By the time of the Vietnam War it was politically incorrect to pray for victory, and victory never came. Praying for victory, even post 9-11 is still politically incorrect and America is still either losing wars or fighting to a standstill in decades long conflicts.

Straying from political correctness in the church I beg to ask the question: If we want to win a war, spiritual or otherwise, should we not be asking God for victory? If the answer is yes, pastors can find models for those victory prayers in Psalms authored by King David, among other note worthy places in the Bible. If, on the other hand, we do not want God’s intervention perhaps we should prepare ourselves to lose the existential battle against the Islamists.

*****

In the article, I mentioned my trip to the Middle East and my encounter with the Muslim Brotherhood. I would very much like to give you all the details, but to do so would endanger lives. Mentioning locations can get people killed. Mentioning real names of people or showing their photos in public documents such as this one can get them killed. Oddly, conservative leaders here in Washington have decided to welcome the Muslim Brotherhood as the future. This is a grave mistake.

Report From Washington - September 30, 2011

License to kill: Has Obama crossed the Rubicon / Obama surprise: He defends Christian in Iran / Congress supports religious liberty panel / Journalism school says 9-11 comparatively not that bad / The Tax Man's Jihad / The Nashville conference / Spelling error brings blasphemy charge / More evangelicals targeted in Iran / Muslims again attack in Thailand

PRESIDENCY

CROSSING THE RUBICON - This week two very bad men, terrorists Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, were killed by missiles fired from a CIA operated Predator drone in Yemen. Both were natural born U.S citizens, which poses a question. What safeguards exist when the man setting the guidelines is the man issuing the death warrants? The answer of course is that there are none. Because they are U.S citizens, both men should have been tried for treason in abstensia before a military tribunal. The death sentence should have then been given to the Commander in Chief to carry out. A record would then exist to justify the executions. Rather than that process, we have one single sheet of paper signed by Barack Obama saying, "Kill these guys." The lack of visible process concerns me.
SHOCKER: OBAMA DEFENDS A CHRISTIAN PASTOR - After three years of overtly supporting radical Muslims in the Middle East, President Barack Obama has finally taken a stand in support of a persecuted Christian. This week he belatedly joined other world leaders in condemning the conviction and prescribed execution of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani who refused to renounce his faith before an Iranian Court. Read more 

THE CONGRESS

USCIRF AUTHORIZATION EXTENDED - For several weeks I have been urging readers to contact Senators to urge them to pass legislation, already passed in the House, to extend the life of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). On September 28th, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid finally relented and funding was extended. The USCIRF is a valuable tool to those promoting religious freedom because it issues official reports about the abuses of religious minorities in Communist and Islamic nations.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

JOURNALISM SCHOOL: 9-11 JIHAD NOT A BIG DEAL - Professors Lawrence Pintak and Stephen Franklin, in a journalism course at Poynter Institute, said that the almost 3,000 who died in the 9-11 Jihad attack represented a small percentage of the 15,000 people murdered in America that year, and that worldwide jihad accounts for "only" one percent of murders each year, and thus jihad should be downplayed in any news story. Wow, and I thought that mass murder was always big news. Read more

THE TAX MAN'S JIHAD - Grover Norquist frequently makes the news as "the conservative" who leads the fight against higher taxes. Seldom or never is it mentioned that he also supports "open borders," that he supported the gay group "Log Cabin Republicans" joining the Conservative Action Conference (which drove away social conservatives), or that he supports the Ground Zero mosque. Now Norguist is supporting a Muslim candidate for public office in Virginia who has changed his first name from Imad Afif to David. The candidate refers to"God" and supports the Ground Zero mosque. Some who talk to him think he is a Christian, but his Middle East backers know he is a Muslim. Who is "David" Ramadan and why does Grover Norguist support him? Read more

NEW: Chairman's Report from Washington, DC for September 22, 2011. IN THIS ISSUE: New York officials try to dampen 9-11 freedom rally / William J. Murray speaks at the 9-11 rally / What is the real reason to remember the 9-11 jihad attack on America? / What Obama does not understand about the Islamists

THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference will be the first national conference on sharia and the Islamization of America, and will be held in Nashville on November 11, 2011. Topics will include: Sharia and Jihad; The European Experience; The Dehumanization and Diminishment of Women in the West under Sharia; The Muslim Brotherhood in America; Sharia and Legal Action; Grassroots Organizing against Sharia and Rabats (including Mega-Mosques); Defending Liberty In Legislatures; and Fighting Islamist Propaganda in the Media

INTERNATIONAL 

SPELLING ERROR BRINGS BLASPHEMY CHARGE - Abbottabad (AsiaNews) - A spelling error has led to an accusation of blasphemy, and to serious consequences for a 10-year-old Christian girl and her family in Abbottabad. Faryal Bhatti, the daughter of a nurse named Sarafeen Bhatti, is a student at Colony High School, Havelian POF. On September 22, during an examination she misspelled a word in Urdu, putting the full top in the wrong place. Thus the word, referring to the prophet Muhammad, was transformed from "poem of praise" (naat) to "curse (lanaat). She has been expelled from school and her mother has lost her job as a nurse. (NOTE: This is the city in which Usama bin Laden was found and killed) Read more  
IRAN TARGETING EVANGELICALS - Iranian police have been targeting EvangelicaIism according to an AINA report: In December 2010 and January 2011, security forces arrested about 70 Christians reportedly affiliated with evangelical churches. On July 18, 2010, security forces had arrested 15 Christians in Mashad as they were leaving for a meeting with fellow members in the city of Bojnourd. Authorities rarely charge evangelical Christians with apostasy, and instead rely on more traditional charges such as "acting against the national security," "propaganda against the regime," or "insulting Islamic sanctities." Christian groups claim that authorities have arrested more than 250 Christians throughout Iran between June 2010 and February 2011. Read more
MORE MUSLIM TERROR IN THAILAND - Muslim insurgents disguised as paramilitary rangers attacked troops protecting a school in southern Thailand on Wednesday, killing four soldiers and wounding two more, police said. A 6-year-old boy was shot in the stomach during the assault. A wave of violence has hit the Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces of mostly Buddhist Thailand since an Islamist insurgency erupted in 2004. Government soldiers are often designated to accompany teachers traveling to and from schools in region, as well as monks collecting alms. Read more

Report From Washington - July 22, 2011

Obama moves against Fox News / Obama fights for gay issues / Gay love in the trenches / Democrats want to force other nations to be gay friendly / Terror in Oslo / Islamic Emirates in Britain / Terror not just in the Middle East / Falsely accused Christian dies in Pakistani jail

PRESIDENCY 
OBAMA MOVES AGAINST FOX NEWS - Do CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and CNBC pay for news stories? Of course. Do they pay officials in other nations for news leaks? Of course they do. But the U.S. Justice Department is preparing subpoenas as part of preliminary investigations into News Corp, relating to alleged foreign bribery in the U.K. over a phone hacking scandal at one of the company's newspapers. The Obama Administration has ordered the DOJ to go after News Corp in hopes they can shut up Fox News, but Obama may have a problem: It is my understanding that Fox News is currently amassing information on bribes paid overseas for news by the other major networks. 
OBAMA FINALLY TELLS THE TRUTH - When Obama ran for president in 2008 everyone knew he was lying when he claimed to support traditional marriage. Just as if we were living in the society ruled by Big Brother in the Orwellian novel 1984, we are now told by an Obama spokesman that Obama has always been against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and now supports legislation to end it. Ending DOMA would of course end the right of states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages.
GAY LOVE IN THE TRENCHES - Under President Obama's direction, the new Pentagon chief Leon Panetta has decided to end the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military. He certified that repealing the gay prohibition will not hurt the military's ability to fight. With that certification from Panetta, President Obama officially lifted the ban today.

THE CONGRESS 

FORCE OTHER NATIONS TO BE GAY FRIENDLY - Enslaving women is OK with Democrats; just don't mistreat gays. In a late night session at a marathon committee markup of H.R. 2583, the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Democrat Ranking Member, Howard Berman, offered an amendment that would have given the Secretary of State a directive to promote the LGBT agenda internationally. Although the amendment was defeated along party lines by Republicans, one question comes to mind: Why was their no reference to the rights of women or religious minorities in the amendment, only to gay rights? Answer: Although homosexuals are a very small minority, they give huge amounts of money to Democrat congressmen.

NEW CHAIRMAN'S REPORT BY WILLIAM MURRAY

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR JULY 20th, 2011 - William J Murray's Chairman's Report includes: Obama's Voice of America claims that Islamists want "reform." / Obama says no to Canadian oil but yes to Saudi oil / The State Department's Weiner problem / NBC apologizes for "under God" omission in Pledge / Military funding of same-sex marriage / Gays for Jon Huntsman / Honor killings in the West / Islamists want to take over UK cities / Pakistan Christian sex slaves / Islamic school has kids make bombs in Indonesia. Other international and domestic issues reported by William J. Murray

INTERNATIONAL 

OSLO, NORWAY ATTACKED - The attack on government buildings in Oslo, Norway today highlighted the fear sweeping Europe as a result of the failed policy of massive immigration to foster "multiculturalism." Not only was a car bomb used to attack buildings, including the Prime Minister's office, but a youth camp was attacked by a gunman dressed as a policeman. As of this writing at least seven are dead and many more injured.

ISLAMIC EMIRATES OF BRITAIN? - Muslims now want to turn twelve British cities, one called "Londonistan," into independent autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law. Called the Islamic Emirates Project, it uses the motto "The end of man-made law, and the start of Sharia law." The U.K. is now 5% Muslim and the radicalism of Islam there has changed the face of that nation and has most of the population in a constant state of fear. A stunning article by Soeren Kern in Hudson New York exposes the U.K situation which is on its way to the USA.

NOT JUST THE MIDDLE EAST - In Xingjian, China, Muslim separatists chanting 'Allah is the only god," attacked a police station last week, hacking two officers to death. They then murdered a woman and a teenage girl in the name of Allah. Many more people were injured, and the Chinese military was called in to restore order. In the last two weeks Islamic terrorists have killed 12 and injured numerous others in Thailand. Most of those murdered were Buddhists.
ANOTHER CHRISTIAN DIES IN PAKISTAN JAIL - A man accused of blasphemy and said to be mentally challenged, died in Lahore Camp Jail after what police said was a brief ailment. Shaukat Ali, 35, was imprisoned in 2007 under blasphemy charges. Read more

Please take a look. The store is located at www.rfcstore.com
