Report From Washington - April 19, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray

MUSLIM KILLERS CAUGHT IN BOSTON - One Muslim Chechen is dead, and his brother captured. Many members of the liberal media expressed disbelief that Muslims could be involved and until the proof was at their door insisted that the Tea Party of Christian "right-wingers" were somehow involved.

In this issue: Muslim bombers caught in Boston / Obama says Boston was terror, but Fort Hood attack killing five times as many was not / Media ignores Muslim church attack in Ohio / Media sees no Muslim evil / Youtube sees no Muslim evil / Poison mailed to Senator / Somali convert from Islam tortured / Egyptian Christians who were attacked are not arrested / Horrendous "honor" killing in Jordan / Jewish activist warns of Christian persecution
The Presidency
Boston terror but Ft. Hood not terror - Under immediate criticism for not saying that the Boston Marathon bombing was terror related, President Obama's spokesman said that yes indeed, it was terror. However the killing of 19 at Ft. Hood by Nidal Hasan while he shouted Allah Akbar, is still "workplace violence." Because the Boston bombing occurred on Tax Day, perhaps Obama thought it was not Muslim related and he was safe to call it "terror."
Congress
Poison attack on Capitol Hill - A letter containing ricin, a deadly poison, was sent to Senator Wicker's office by a deranged Elvis impersonator who is now under arrest. In addition, security was very tight because of the Boston bombing by Muslims, to the point of outdoor trash cans being turned upside down.
No tax dollars for jihadists - The Religious Freedom Coalition has begun an online petition asking congressmen to speak out against any funding, military or otherwise, to jihadists anywhere in the world. The petition comes at a time the Obama Administration is furnishing help from the CIA, as well as cash and "humanitarian" aid, to jihadists fighting the secular government of Syria. Provide your name and zip code, and a copy of the petition will be faxed to your congressman free of charge. See petition here.

Religion and Culture
Media see no Muslin evil - The Western media would go berserk if a well known American Christian leader would suggest that the Catholics should have the White House, the Baptists the Congress, The Methodists the police and the Pentecostals the Army. Yet there is no reaction in the press to one of the leading Islamic scholars in Egypt stating which branch of Islam should run which branch of government. Read more
YouTube see no Muslim evil - During 2012, numerous YouTube pages posted installments from a series of detailed video lessons produced by the military wing of Hamas, the 'Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades. Most of the videos are about half an hour long, and demonstrate bomb-making and using various weapons. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY 

Obama's FBI has strange definition of terrorism - A lone homosexual activist attacked the offices of the socially conservative organization Family Research Council (FRC) in Washington, DC this week. The FBI oddly labeled the attack as "domestic terrorism" rather than a "hate crime." However, they reached a very different conclusion when a Muslim fanatic at Ft. Hood in Texas killed 13 fellow soldiers, plus an unborn child. That infamous attack was designated "work place violence." The lesson from the Administration is that no mass murders committed by Muslims will ever be called terrorism, and attacks on Christians will not be called hate crimes.

Obama-supported rebels execute hundreds - In the "rebel" controlled areas of Aleppo, Syria just about everyone associated with the secular government, even postal workers, were executed. A British citizen who converted to Islam eight years ago has become one of the chief executioners for the "rebels." Fox and other news outlets refuse to report the atrocities of the jihadist rebels, instead insisting that the secular government ignores the jihadist fighters and only kills civilians. Reports by reporters of the atrocities committed by "rebels" are ignored by editors in America who seem to want yet another nation ruled by a Taliban type government.

The permanent bailout - The Obama Administration, along with the help of Congress, has created a state of "permanent "bailout" in the United States. Simply put, the government can't stop spending and bailing out large businesses and banks without a level of economic pain the public will not tolerate. Excellent article in Forbes Magazine.
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.
USCIRF chair asks Congress to protect religious minorities - Katrina Lantos Swett, the chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, held meetings on Capitol Hill to call awareness to the plight of religious minorities (mostly Christians, but to say so is politically incorrect.) As part of her push to help religious minorities in the Middle East, she wrote an op-ed that deserves attention.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

Atheists attack 9-11 Museum - American Atheists filed a lawsuit to prevent the World Trade Center cross from being displayed in the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York City. The cross, discovered in the rubble around the World Trade Center, had been formed by two steel beams from the wreckage and "served as a symbol of hope for many devastated by the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history." The Museum has now asked a Manhattan court to dismiss the lawsuit, explaining that it is an independent non-profit corporation, not a government entity, and that the cross is not a religious symbol, but "an 'important and essential artifact' that 'comprises a key component of the retelling of the story of 9/11.'
Court rules against atheists - An Arizona state court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation challenging the annual Arizona Day of Prayer proclamations. The judge dismissed the case "with prejudice," which will prevent the court from being asked to rule on the same issue in the future.

THE PRESIDENCY

Obama's FBI ignored warnings about Ft. Hood shooter - The FBI serves under Attorney General Eric Holder's Department of Justice. That explains why the FBI was too concerned about political correctness to launch an investigation of Major Hasan, who later killed 13 service members in the 2009 attack at Fort Hood. Despite reading e-mails that indicated Hasan was an extremist, the FBI feared questioning a Muslim member of the military. Read more
Evangelical college joins Catholics in lawsuit - "Wheaten College does not, as Catholics do, view all forms of artificial contraception as immoral. But the list of required services includes "morning after" and "week after" pills that claim the life of an unborn child within days of its conception." That was enough for Wheaten College to join a Catholic lawsuit on ObamaCare's intrusion on religious liberty. Read more
Exposing Barack Obama's attacks on religious freedom - The Religious Freedom Coalition's advertising campaign to expose President Barack Obama's attacks on religious freedom enters its third month. Newspaper ads have already run the length of Florida, and are running in North Carolina now.
CONGRESS
Congressman defends Chick-fil-A - The entire media establishment is attacking Dan Cathy for his on-the-record remark that Chick-fil-A is supportive of one man, one woman marriages. Congressman Joe Pitts (R-PA) stepped forward to defend the restaurant chain on Capitol Hill. Read his comments here.

RELIGION AND CULTURE
Video response to Islamic death threats - After a particularly vile death threat aimed at himself and other critics of Islam, Michael Coren has a few words to say about the erosion of free speech and other civil liberties in the West.
Olympics: husband and wife can't share room - An Australian shooter, Russell Mark, said his wife Lauryn - a fellow competitor - has been told they must room separately during the Olympics. This is bizarre political correctness considering that same-sex couples who are not married don't seem to have the same problem. My bet: If they were Muslims the accommodation would be made.

THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA, GAYS, MUSLIMS AND IMMIGRATION - President Obama has in effect ordered U.S. agencies to import homosexuals from all over the world who are "threatened." Thus anyone who walks into a U.S. embassy anywhere in the world where homosexual activities (including gay marriage) are illegal, can claim to be gay and be immediately put at the front of the line to immigrate to the United States. How, after all, could officials disprove a person's "gayness?" At the same time he has opened the gates to Islamic "refugees." Read more

SECRETARY CLINTON, CHAMPION OF GAY RIGHTS - On December 6th at a conference in Geneva, Switzerland, attended by diplomats from all over the world including Arab nations, Secretary Clinton compared the struggle for "gay equality" to women's rights and racial equality. She said that a nation's cultural or religious "traditions" are not an excuse for discrimination against homosexuals. "Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights," she said. "It should never be a crime to be gay," Clinton declared and concluded that, "Gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world."

CLINTON TO BACK BLASPHEMY LAWS? - For more than 20 years, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has pressed Western governments to restrict free speech. Its charter states a goal "to combat defamation of Islam," and it wants "deterrent punishments" by all states to counter Islamophobia. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appears ready to buy into the idea of limited free speech worldwide if Islam is the subject. Read More

CONGRESS 

SENATOR DURBIN TRIES TO KILL U.S. COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) wants the federal government to buy a bankrupt private prison in his home state of Illinois to "create jobs." To get the bucks for the deal he has put a hold on the funding for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, the only body that spotlights abuses of religious minorities. The appointees of the USCIRF are not even paid! -- and it is about the most efficient body associated with the federal government. Please contact Senator Durbin and ask him to remove his hold for funding of the USCIRF. If you do not live in Illinois his email system rejects messages. Call his office at 202.224.2152 or send a fax to 202.228.0400

SENATOR TO OBAMA: FT HOOD ATTACK NOT "WORKPLACE VIOLENCE" - During a joint session of the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees on December 7th, Senator Susan Collins (R-MA) blasted a letter by the Department of Defense labeling the Fort Hood jihad attack by Major Nidal Hasan, as a case of workplace violence. Hasan killed 14 people including an unborn child and wounded 29 others on November 5th 2009. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE

SHUTDOWN OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM? - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) will cease to operate if Congress does not pass and President Obama does not sign into law no later than Dec. 16, legislation either reauthorizing it or continuing its funding. USCIRF is currently funded in a spending bill that expires on that date. Human rights activist Faith McDonnell said, "Dissolution of USCIRF would send a message to tyrants and thug regimes around the world that the United States no longer considers religious freedom a priority."

A 34-year old mother of four named Agnieszka was murdered two years ago in June. Prosecution has accused a 40-year old Pakistani called Naaem, who has lived in Poland for 10 years. The investigation, according to prosecutor Józef Mizerski, is not a typical one in Poland. It is known as "the honor killing".

THE PRESIDENCY

PEACE PRIZE "A LITTLE EARLY" - The Dalai Lama, who received the Nobel Peace Prize 20 years ago for resisting Chinese oppression of the Tibetan people, said that the award to Barack Obama was "a little early." The decision to give Obama the prize came even before he took the oath of office, and was based on his promise to "undo" the George Bush presidency. But, he has actually increased the American troop strength for the first Bush war in Afghanistan and there has been no real pullback of troops in Iraq. Obama has failed to stop the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran, while countries in the Middle East are buying more weapons, not fewer. But, Obama has apologized to just about every two-bit politician and dictator in the world for the very existence of our nation. Maybe that is what the Peace Prize was really for.  
OBAMA BURIES JIHAD ATTACK AT FT HOOD - With the cooperation of the mainstream media, the Obama Administration is trying to hide the fact that political correctness in the military allowed the Jihad attack that killed 14 people at Ft. Hood this November. "They're stonewalling us. They won't give us anything," Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com. "They have just refused to brief Congress any further on this whole matter. Congressman John Carter, in whose district the Jihad attack occured, said, "Political correctness is killing Americans and undermining the national security of the United States." Carter has made a compeling case to stop the political correctness that ignores the dangers of radical Islam. Read his Op-ed
OBAMA NOMINEE WOULD FORCE CHURCHES TO HIRE HOMOSEXUALS - Episcopal churches may have homosexual and lesbian bishops, but churches that believe the Bible is the Word of God don't want the government to force them to hire homosexuals. Chai Feldblum is President Obama's appointee to the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). She is a lesbian who signed a document promoting families with "more than one conjugal partner." Again and again she has stated that any "religious" enterprise (day care, school, etc) should be required to hire individuals regardless of their "sexual preferences." Americans For Truth have a lot of information on Feldblum. See group letter the Religious Freedom Coalition signed regarding Feldblum. Contact your Senator about the Feldblum confirmation.

THE CONGRESS

MEDICARE FOR EVERYONE? - Last week Senator John McCain tried, but failed, to stop Democrats from taking half a trillion dollars from Medicare to pay for Obama Care. Now Senator Harry Reid's Democrat majority in the Senate wants to add everyone over the age of 55 with preexisting conditions or insurance payments that are "too high" into Medicare.

How will this work? The famed Mayo Clinic says that it LOST $806 million dollars this year treating Medicare patients. Medicare already reimburses doctors and hospitals at BELOW cost, forcing them to raise the costs to insurance companies and individuals. Now Senator Reid and the Democrats want to add tens of millions more people to Medicare while reducing payments to doctors and hospitals even further. The government, of course, will have to take over the hospitals it puts out of business with this plan. Medicare is already a train wreck in slow motion; this concept just speeds it up. SENATOR MAX BAUCUS AFFAIRS - Senator Baucus (D-MT), whose committee is in charge of the Obama Care bill, acknowledged a relationship with his staffer Melodee Hanes at a time he had nominated her as a US Attorney. It now appears that he also gave her a big raise the year the affair began and that she was negotiating on the Senator's behalf, as an associate of his divorce attorney, even before his wife was informed that a divorce was in the works. The Senator had time for all this, but he doesn't have time to read the Health Reform bill. He actually said that if negotiators had worked something out, it was probably "OK." This is not how government is supposed to work! Do the Republicans have a plan?
CONGRESSMEN WANT HELP FOR IRAQI CHRISTIANS - Congressmen Frank Wolfe (R-VA) and Gary Peters (D-MI) have introduced H. Res 944 calling for a "sense" of the House that Iraqi "religious minorities" be protected and assisted. So far there are 40 co-sponsors of the resolution but more are needed.

THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA'S LOVE OF ISLAM President Barack Obama cannot criticize anything done in the name of Islam, not even terror. Speaking at the conclusion of a conference just after the Jihad terror attack at Ft. Hood, President Obama said, "I planned to make some broader remarks. But as some of you might have heard there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas." The next morning before talking about the increasing joblessness in America he said, "This morning I met with FBI Director Mueller and the relevant agencies to discuss their ongoing investigation into what caused one individual to turn his gun on fellow servicemen and women. We don't know all of the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all of the facts." This is a man who very early in his Presidency flew to the Muslim nations to assure them that he understood Islam and honored Islam. See video of him bowing to a Muslim king. Although he flew to Ft. Hood for a eulogy service for those killed, he has done all in his power to silence voices calling Nidal Malik Hasan's attack what it was, Islamic terrorism against unarmed men and women. 

OMABA'S POLITICALLY CORRECT GENERAL - Soldiers serving under Army Chief of Staff George Casey, Jr. died and others were gravely injured, but the the general's first response was to say a "greater tragedy" would be if their deaths caused discomfort to Muslims. On CNN he said, "I am worried - not worried, but I'm concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers. And I've asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that. It would be a shame - as great a tragedy as this was - it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well." Later on ABC he upped political correctness saying any "backlash" against Muslims would be "an even greater tragedy." Shamefully, this political correctness began with President George W. Bush, but has reached the point of self destructive insanity under Barack Obama.
 
SPECIAL ARMY UNIT FOR MUSLIMS ONLY - The 51st Translation Interpreter Company at Fort Irwin is an all Muslim unit -- no Christians or Jews allowed. The unit consists of 120 Muslims who were "recruited." Why are Christians and Jews prohibited from positions in this unit and what justification is given by the United States Army in this regard? just imagine the outrage of the ACLU and the leftist media if there were an all Jewish unit that worked on translations with Israeli intelligence. These Muslims were "recruited" with bonuses to join the Army, and many of them are there because of the money offered, not because of patriotism. Over 85% of those of Arab descent in the United States are Christians whose families have fled Muslim repression. Also, there are thousands of Iraqi Christian refugees who have worked as translators who are available. But the Army recruits Muslims, some with dubious connections to mosques that promote Jihad, all to prove how politically correct the Army is. Note to General Casey: Your job is to win wars, not to manage diversity.
 
AND THE NAVY - The six member volunteer Color Guard from the Naval Academy sent to the World Series consisted of all white men. When the top brass found this out they demanded diversity, so a white woman and a "Pakistani - American" were added to increase the Color Guard to eight members. But the "Pakistani - American" forgot part of his uniform. He and one white male were removed so the woman could furnish the "diversity." I am very sure that if the brass could have figured out how to get a Koran in the picture they would have done that as well. Links to story and video of ceremony.
 

THE CONGRESS

OFFICIAL PROTEST CONCERNING MUSLIM ARMY UNIT - The Religious Freedom Coalition has made an official protest with several members of Congress asking for answers as to why the US Army is maintaining units "for Muslims only." The protest came in light of the disclosure that the 51st Translation Interpreter Company at Fort Irwin is an all Muslim unit. Results of the protest will be reported in these updates.  

BILL CLINTON ADVISES THE SENATE - Former President Bill Clinton huddled with Senator Reid and other Democrats at a closed door meeting this past week. Clinton was sent by President Barack Obama to encourage the Senate to pass the Obama Care plan which squeaked through the House last week by two votes. Both Obama and Clinton are convinced that the reason the GOP took over the House in 1994 was because Democrats did not pass universal health care. Obama and Clinton believe that if the legislation passes, the Democrats will pick up seats rather than lose them. This is in spite of the fact that only 42% of the voters approve of government run health care. How this translates to more votes for Democrats I do not understand. Ask Bill Clinton. See poll
 

CULTURE AND RELIGION

VICTIMHOOD OF HASAN -One of the excuses being given for the Jihad terror attack at Fort Hood is that Nidal Hasan once had a bumper sticker removed from his car that expressed his Islamic faith. Dozens of major media outlets have offered this as proof that he was "persecuted as a Muslim." Removing a bumper sticker is "persecution," and in part the justification for mass murder? Newsweek editor Evan Thomas said, "I cringe that he's a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he's probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just -- I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse." In other words liberals would have much preferred the shooter to have been a crazed white male carrying a Bible.

The reality of Hasan's treatment is the reverse of what liberals try to portray. Nidal Hasan was treated by everyone in the Army who came in contact with him with extra sensitivity because he was so openly a radical Muslim of Arab descent. It was sort of like being a homosexual at a firm like Microsoft, where a gay man can't get fired no matter how much he screws up. Hasan did poorly in the Army Medical School and would have been flunked out had he been a Christian or Jew. The Army wanted a Muslim psychiatrist so badly that it lowered its standards and allowed a man to obtain a medical degree who was not only a dimwit, but one who promoted Jihadist concepts. Under his name on his business cards the letters "SOA" appeared for "Soldier of Islam." He not only contacted those in Yemen promoting Jihad, but there is now evidence he sent funds to terrorist organizations in the Middle East as well. The FBI knew this, the CIA knew this and Army Intelligence knew this. BUT, he was the Army's only Muslim psychiatrist, so it was hands off. Had he been a Jew who radically supported Israel, he probably would have been arrested for "spying." But because Hasan was a Muslim, he was a "victim" regardless of his actions. Good op-ed on this subject 

MODERATE CAIR? - Our military turns to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to help recruit "moderate" imams as chaplains. Also, the FBI has cooperated with CAIR in the past, even asking their advice on various matters. Even before all the bodies were removed from Ft. Hood following the latest Jihad attack, CAIR representatives were in the media condemning the attack and expressing concern about a "backlash" against Muslims. Just how "moderate" is this organization? As one example, a frequent speaker at CAIR events is Zaid Shakir, who says it is wrong to shoot down civilian aircraft in the USA, but OK to shoot down aircraft carrying military service personel, even within the United States. Now we know what CAIR means by "moderate". Read more
 
WHY DID FBI QUESTION VIRGINIA PASTOR? - Several weeks ago I reported that a friend of mine, Rev. Patrick Mahoney, was questioned by the FBI as to why he organized a demonstration at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, in support of religious freedom. In light of the FBI looking the other way from the radical contacts of Nidal Hasan before his Jihad attack that killed 13 at Ft. Hood, there are some questions Rev. Mahoney wants answered. He stated, "It is even more troubling to realize that I was visited at my home by the FBI for peacefully exercising my First Amendment rights, yet Major Hasan received no such visit by the FBI for contacting Islamic terrorists multiple times and making threatening comments to the American military. How is it possible that a Christian minister is investigated and questioned by federal agents for holding a peaceful prayer vigil and a person who killed 13 people and had numerous contacts with terrorists was never visited or questioned?" Those are questions the FBI should be forced by congressional investigators to answer. Read more

VICTIMS OR VICTIMHOOD

WHEN THE SHOOTER BECOMES THE VICTIM - On November 12th the Washington Times' lead editorial concerned the new victimhood of Jihad terrorist Nidal Hasan. The editorial is interesting in that it observes how the mainstream media always "bemoan the perpetrator's troubles and then sprinkle them with pop psychology." Although not mentioned in the editorial, Dr. Phil managed to give his half witted view of the killer's motives without mentioning the victims on Larry King Live. I lean toward the view that by this time next year the New York Times will run an editorial on how the shooing victims at Ft. Hood somehow forced Hasan to pull the trigger. Read editorial 

A FULL LIST OF HASAN'S JIHAD VICTIMS - A list of the victims and stories of their lives is not easy to find even on the Internet. The mainstream media has focused on the shooter. But a Dallas-Ft Worth TV station has done a pretty good job at listing the thirteen dead and giving a little of their backgrounds. Read here

INTERNATIONAL

IRAQI CHRISTIANS IN JORDAN - Our ministry partner from Amman, Jordan visited Washington, DC this week. Among other activities, he made a presentation before the regional directors of the Christian women's organization Aglow International who were in Washington, DC for a conference. Meetings were also held with some congressmen and their staff members. The delivery options for our next major shipment of medical supplies in November was also discussed. Several people have sent e-mails asking why we do not mention names of the organizations and people who work with us in Jordan and other Muslim nations. Regretfully the names and photographs are not used for reasons of security. Dead men can't help anyone. Your help is still needed.
