The Presidency
Obama's rebels establish sharia law -
In most rebel occupied areas of Syria there is none of the "freedom" that Obama claimed would be established by the rebels he supports. Instead, rights have been stripped from women, and there is no freedom of speech or press because the areas are run strictly by Sharia law. Read more
 
Obama's war on religion - Bill Donohue of the Catholic League wrote a well documented column on Barack Obama's assault on religion -- an assault which does not seem to include Islam. The column has appeared at both NewsMax and the Catholic Leagues' internet site. I highly recommend it not only for Catholics, but for evangelicals and conservative Jews as well. Read more
Congress
Senator Rubio defends public prayer -
In an op-ed just prior to the Supreme Court hearings on allowing prayers before public meetings, Senator Rubio said: I believe that part of what distinguishes America from the rest of the world is that we do not feel threatened by each other's faiths. The tradition of praying before meetings of governing or legislative bodies is common all across our country. In fact, it has been meaningful to me in my own career as a public servant." Read more
 
Prayer Caucus chairman defends public prayer - In a statement after the oral arguments at the Supreme Court on prayer before town-hall meetings, Congressman Randy Forbes made this statement: "The Establishment Clause of the Constitution was designed by the Founding Fathers to prohibit the government from coercing citizens to adhere, or not adhere, to a certain belief; it is not a license to remove all religious references from the public square." Read more
No special protection for drag queens -
Nebraska Senators Deb Fischer and Mike Johanns have gone on record to oppose passage of the so-called "Employment Non-Discrimination Act" (ENDA), which would make drag queens, cross-dressers and transsexuals into federally protected minority groups. Read more
Religion and Culture
Washington Post reluctantly covers terror story -
Wednesday morning, the Washington Post published an article describing the use of social media by Syrian terrorists to memorialize killers who died in battle. The dead terrorists' faces were made to appear as if they were smiling. The Religious Freedom Coalition and WorldNetDaily ran stories on these Syrian "martyrs" back in July and correctly labeled them as terrorists, not "fighters" as does the Post. Read more

Afghanistan: British soldier killed by the policeman he trained -
Lance Corporal Brent McCarthy is shown smiling beside an Afghan policeman in a photo. Just seconds after the photo was taken, the Muslim shot McCarthy to death along with his comrade, Lance Corporal Lee Davies. Read more

Syria: Number of British jihadists in Syria now in hundreds -
The number of British Islamists who have gone to Syria to fight in the war there is in the "low hundreds", a senior UK intelligence official says. Read more

Syria: Huge statue of Jesus erected -
In a government controlled area of Syria a statue of Jesus was erected on a mountain and can be seen from Lebanon, Jordan and Israel. In the Obama rebel controlled area the same week, a statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed. Read more

Norway: Imam says all Muslims believe in killing gays -
At an address delivered in English in Norway, Fahad Qureshi, founder of the Norwegian Islam Net organization, said that "normal" Muslims, not just radical extremists, support the death penalty for homosexuals, and stoning for adulterers. Read more

Murray discusses the feral youth who congregate mostly in the coastal cities of the United States / A full report on the vandalism of the Ten Commandments monument on Capitol Hill is discussed.

Report From Washington - August 3, 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
IN THIS ISSUE: Will Romney move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem? / White House not sure where capital of Israel is / Obama executive order to help blacks only get into college / 60% leave Conservative party in UK over same-sex approval / Congressional resolution on Syrian Christians / Newt Gingrich defends Michele Bachmann / Attacks on Chick-fil-a backfire / Christians arming themselves in Syria / More attacks on Christians in Nigeria


THE PRESIDENCY 
Move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem? - Palestinian officials are fuming after Mitt Romney stated that Jerusalem is Israel's capital. Romney implied, but did not state, that he would follow the law and move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem if elected. Barack Obama has not only refused to honor the law passed by Congress to move the Embassy, but the U.S Consulate now in Jerusalem conducts business in Arabic, not Hebrew.
Same-sex marriage and conservatives -
What happens if the Republican Party moves away from endorsing "traditional marriage" in favor of an "its all about the economy approach?" In the U.K. the conservative party went that route, and has lost 60% of its paid membership since Prime Minister David Cameron announced he would forge ahead and endorse "same-sex marriage." Even Barack Obama is facing a backlash from Black ministers because of his endorsement of sodomy -- and he is a left-winger.


Obama executive order to help blacks only - This week Obama signed an executive order, an excerpt of which states the goal of "increasing college access and success for African American students and providing support to help ensure that a greater percentage of African Americans complete college and contribute to the goal of having America again lead the world in the proportion of adults who are college graduates by 2020." But the goal is not "every American". The goal is to force whites, Hispanics and Asians out of entrance slots into colleges. This same executive order would bar public schools from expelling more blacks from school than the percentage of their population in the school, regardless of the offense. is this racist? of course. Read more


CONGRESS 
Resolution on Syrian Christians - Congressman Bilirakas (R-FL) who is the co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Caucus has entered a resolution calling for the protection of the "religious minorities" in Syria in light of the continued growing presence of Al-Qaeda growth in that nation. His resolution (H.Res. 763) comes at a time when more and more congressmen and Senators are being alerted to the truth about the nature of the Islamist uprising in Syria. Syria will become another Iran! Read more
Michele Bachmann defended by Newt Gingrich -
Newt Staunchly Defends Bachmann and other Members of Congress on their astute observations about the Muslim Brotherhood influence peddling in Washington and its infiltration into the State Department. Read more



RELIGION AND CULTURE 

Chick-fil-A Day - Congratulations go to Gov. Mike Huckabee for his efforts in organizing a Chick-fil-A appreciation day on Wednesday. Gov. Huckabee had over 25 million visits to his Internet site to get details. At many Chick-fil-A stores, people had to wait more than an hour to get a sandwich. To show their "tolerance" , McDonald's is handing out free chicken sandwich vouchers to homosexuals who plan to demonstrate against Chick-fil-A's pro traditional stance today.
Chick-fil-A protest backfires -
Adam Smith, who posted an online video of himself going through a Chick-fil-A drive-thru and ordering only the free water, was canned from his gig as chief financial officer of Vante, a Tucson medical manufacturing company, after the video made the rounds. Read more

New August Chairman's Report -Now available, the August 2nd, 2012 edition of William J. Murray's Chairman's' Report. In this issue: Obama and our dwindling freedoms / Friedrich von Hayek's predictions on the dangers of Obama style central planning / Newspaper ads in four states warn of Obama's attacks on religious freedom / Should Christians pray for victory of the Islamist threat? Read more
Constitution or Sharia DVD - This is the complete set of DVD's from the November 11, 2011 Constitution or Sharia conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference was the first true national conference on Sharia and the Islamization of America sponsored by major freedom oriented organizations! It was not just another educational conference. How do deal with and stop implementation of Sharia law in the United states was outlined by speakers and in panels. Order today


INTERNATIONAL 
Christians arming themselves in Syria - As evidence mounts that foreign Islamists are fighting alongside Syria's increasingly radicalized rebels, Christians in Aleppo and elsewhere are taking up arms, often supplied by the regime. "We saw what happened to the Christians in Iraq," Abu George, a Christian resident of Aleppo's Aziza district told GlobalPost. "What is going on in Aleppo is not a popular revolution for democracy and freedom. The fighters of the so-called Free Syrian Army are radical Sunnis who want to establish an Islamic state. Read more
More attacks in Nigeria - Over 1, 000 worshipers fled from what could have been a massive bomb attack at a Nigerian church on Wednesday. The bomb was set in the church during the evening service but failed to detonate. The police bomb squad defused the bomb, describing it as "foreign-made and capable of bringing down not only the church but surrounding buildings as well." Read more The first week of August, more than 100 Christians were killed in attacks including a Nigerian senator.
Syrian Christians need help - The Religious Freedom Coalition operates co-operative missions in Amman, Jordan which are assisting Syrian Christians. Medical and other supplies have been moved to Damascus to assist Christians in need because of the brutal attacks upon them by Islamist rebels. Please contribute today to our Middle East Missions Fund

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
In this issue: Obama's FBI ignored warnings about Ft. Hood shooter / Evangelical college joins Catholics in ObamaCare lawsuit / Exposing Barack Obama's attacks on religious freedom / Congressman defends Chick-fil-A / Olympics: Husband and wife can't share room / Pray for victory over radical Islam / The Syrian situation / Vacation in jihad training camp


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.

INTERNATIONAL
Pray for Victory - I have just returned from an extended Middle Eastern trip. During that time I visited facilities we support in Israel as well as Jordan and other areas. As part of the mission trip I visited not only with Christian refugees, but with some Muslims who had been combatants in Syria against the secular government. I learned that the prayers of Islamists are very different from ours. Islamists pray for victory; we pray for safety. Read more
The Syrian situation - As I write this I am looking at dozens of photos of churches in the Homs area of Syria that have been desecrated and destroyed by the "rebel" fighters that are supported by President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. Without further comment I ask that you view this material and forward it to others. PDF document includes photos.
Vacation in a jihad camp? -
Increasing numbers of Muslims in Europe are traveling to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and other conflict zones to obtain training in terrorist methods. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY 

Obama's newest Middle East Lie - (Note, the author is currently in the Middle East) President Barack Obama promised Jewish leaders in the United States that he would not invite the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt to the White House unless he publicly stated there would be no change in the relationship with Israel. President Obama lied. Mohammed Morsi had been invited to the White House after direct threats to Israel. Meanwhile Hillary Clinton is on her way to Cairo to press Morsi (don't laugh too hard) to back American interests in the region. Read more
Romney may throw election - It appears that Gov. Mitt Romney is considering throwing the election to Barack Obama by adding someone disliked by social conservatives and detested by those against "nation building." Condi Rice, the "pro-choice" Secretary of State who destroyed the US relationship with Russia and called for even more dead American servicemen to bring "democracy" to Muslim nations is now one of the top three on the moron's VP list. (Did I misspell Mormon.) 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 will soon run in North Carolina.
CONGRESS 
Congress and ObamaCare - The Republican House held a meaningless repeal vote on ObamaCare this week. The majority passed the repeal knowing full well it was only symbolic and that there would be no vote on the repeal in the Senate.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
This week's report limited - I am currently in or around either Syrian refugees or Syria itself and have little or no Internet service. When the service is available it is for brief periods. As a result this section will be updated next week. More information on my Middle East mission here!

INTERNATIONAL 
Jordan - First had report one - There was an armed clash between tribes in southern Jordan in which machine guns were used. The information was totally suppressed by the media worldwide in keep the rouse alive that Jordan is a moderate and stable state.
Jordan - First hand report two -
Every Friday after "prayers" Muslim Brotherhood activists demonstrate in downtown Amman, Jordan demanding more control be transferred from the King to "the people" Read "the people" as "the Muslim Brotherhood." Again the worldwide media is suppressing this news to made Jordan look stable and the Muslim Brotherhood "moderate."


Jordan - First hand report three - Saudi Arabia has moved a significant military force to its border with Jordan. Troops that protected the boarder with Iraq to stop Shiites from entering have been moved to the Jordan border as well. The Saudis are "encouraging" King Abdullah of Jordan to allow their armies to cross over Jordan and invade Syria if required to assist the "rebels." (Note: The absolute monarch of Saudi Arabia who runs the most repressive government in the world says he wants to bring true democracy to Syria and protect human rights there. Hillary Clinton actually believes this insane statement.) Currently the salaries of the "Free Syrian Army" are being paid by the Saudi government. The weapons transferred to Al-Qaeda rebels in Syria by the Turkish government are paid for by Saudi Arabia. Why? Syria is an ally of Iran. The Saudi's want to cut off Iranian influence to the Mediterranean. If Syria is cut out of the "Shiite crescent" from Iran though Lebanon then the power crescent is destroyed. See my video
Syrian refugees - I am in the process of visiting Syrian Christians effected by the rebel advances. I have been interviewing refugees and talking with officials. The situation is so bad that I have developed writer's block. I'll try to report on the subject next week.

Report From Washington - June 1, 2012



OBAMA: gender selective abortions OK / Thousands of Muslims chant "Obama the Ape, we are all Osama" / Black pastors say same-sex marriage not a civil rights issue / No Sharia for Kansas and no straight sex for California / Learn more on Sharia law / More Muslim death threats against Geert Wilders / UK inmates forced to convert to Islam / New Islamic conquest of Egypt / Uncovered women spat upon

THE PRESIDENCY 
OBAMA: GENDER SELECTIVE ABORTIONS OK - Apparently President Barack Obama has never met an abortion he didn't like. Although virtually every European nation and Canada prohibit abortions done selectively by sex, Obama said he was against any law prohibiting abortions based on the sex of the child. With his support, Democrats defeated a bill in the House that would outlaw abortions for the purpose of sex selection. Undercover videos revealed, and Planned Parenthood confirmed, that it would abort children based on sex except in the four states where doing so is illegal. Read more
"OBAMA, OBAMA, WE ARE ALL OSAMA" - Thousands of Muslims gathered to address "Obama the ape" and chant support for Osama bin Laden. In our politically correct Western society, if an Arab Muslim calls a black man an ape, isn't it racist? No one in the liberal media, not even MSNBC has any problem with the constant racist comments from Islamic imams. Why is that? Read more and see video
NEW AD POINTS TO MORE OBAMA VIOLATIONS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - The Religious Freedom Coalition has a continuing advertising campaign designed to stop President Barack Obama's frequent attacks on religious freedom. This past weekend, an ad listing even more of Obama's egregious insults to religious freedom was placed in the weekly edition of the New York Times which is distributed in Washington, DC and mailed to all 50 states. See ad
CONGRESS 
PRENDA VOTE - My good friend Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) introduced H.R. 3541, the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA) after learning that Planned Parenthood would abort babies for the purpose of sex-selection. The bill was considered under suspension, requiring a two-thirds majority to pass. PRENDA failed to reach the two-thirds majority. The final vote of 246 to 168 was because of massive Democrat opposition. A total of 7 Republicans and 161 Democrats did not agree with most Americans, that abortions based on sex-selection are wrong. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
BLACK PASTORS ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE - Shortly after President Obama and the NAACP endorsed same-sex marriage as a civil liberties issue, African-American pastors met in Washington, DC and were interviewed on the issue. The vast majority do not believe marriage rites should be extended to homosexuals and lesbians. Read more
NO SHARIA FOR KANSAS -A bill banning foreign laws, including Sharia Islamic law, from being used in Kansas to determine legal matters was signed by GOP Kansas Governor Sam Brownback recently. Both the Kansas House and Senate had voted overwhelmingly in favor. While opponents say Muslim tenets are unfairly targeted by the legislation, supporters say it is designed to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Read more
NO STRAIGHT SEX FOR CALIFORNIA - The California Senate voted 23-13 in favor of a bill prohibiting counselors and therapists from telling young people it is possible to change same-sex attractions. The bill has sparked outrage from individuals who have overcome unwanted same-sex feelings sparked by childhood sexual abuse. It is also being opposed by Pacific Justice Institute, whose attorneys believe its blanket ban on certain types of counseling is unconstitutional. Read more

INTERNATIONAL 
MORE DEATH THREATS FOR GEERT WILDERS - Police in Amsterdam have arrested the spokesperson of the Islamist group Sharia4Holland on charges of making death threats against the Dutch Freedom Party leader, Geert Wilders. Abu Qasim was arrested after a speech he gave in Amsterdam's central Dam Square on May 25 (video here), when he warned that Wilders would be "dealt with" once the Netherlands became an Islamic state.
UK PRISON INMATES FORCED TO CONVERT TO ISLAM - Prisoners are under pressure to convert to an Islamic "gang" at a high-security jail, with non-Muslims in fear of violence just for cooking bacon, according to an official report. Muslim prisoners at the top security jail doubled in two years. Muslims represent around a third of all prisoners at Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire. Prison guards said they had a policy of "appeasement" towards the powerful and growing Islamic population, particularly convicted terrorists who were feared to be recruiting future extremists. Read more
SECOND ISLAMIC CONQUEST OF EGYPT - According to the popular Egyptian website, El Bashayer, the Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate, Muhammad Morsi, has just declared that he will "achieve the Islamic conquest (fath) of Egypt for the second time. Morsi says he will make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya," the traditional Islamic tax or financial tribute required of non-Muslim "dhimmis." Read more
UNCOVERED WOMEN SPAT UPON - The "democratic" Arab Spring has brought something new to Egypt -- spitting on women who are not "covered." Supported by the United States and Europe, radical Islamists are erasing what few rights women and Christians had in Egypt. Read more

Report From Washington - May 5, 2012



In this issue, a special report: William J. Murray reports this week from New York City. This update centers on National Day of Prayer activities on Capitol Hill and Murray's appearance on the Mike Huckabee TV Show
 

National Day of Prayer Special Report 
On the National Day of Prayer my morning began with a prayer group on the Supreme Court Plaza. Our group actually had permission to pray, as long as our group did not constitute a "demonstration." The line between the two is very ill defined. I was joined by several activists on Capitol Hill including Peggy Nienaber of Faith and Action as well as Rev. Patrick Mahoney. After praying for the nation we had the opportunity to have breakfast at the Supreme Court cafeteria where we joined together in saying grace before eating.

The National Day of Prayer was changed to the first Thursday in May during President Ronald Reagan's last year in office in 1988. The original law, signed by President Harry Truman, did not specify a date which caused some confusion over several decades.

This past Thursday thousands of public prayer meetings were held across the nation including one here on Capitol Hill. The national meeting was held in the Caucus Room of the Cannon House Office Building just a block from the Capitol Building itself. For the sixth year in a row the host for the National Day of Prayer in the Capitol complex was Congressman Robert Aderholt of Alabama. In my capacity as chairman of Government Is Not God -PAC, I endorsed and helped to elect Robert Aderholt to Congress back in 1996. He has been working to further family values since his election.

Also present during the three hours of prayer in the Caucus Room were Congressman Randy Forbes of Virginia and his wife, Shirley. Congressman Forbes, also elected with the help of Government Is Not God - PAC back in 2001, founded the Congressional Prayer Caucus which has 105 members. Each week upon their return to the Hill the members of the Prayer Caucus meet in Room 219 in the Capitol Building itself to pray. A national movement in State houses for prayer caucuses has begun following Congressman Forbes' example.

At this year's prayer meeting Congressman Forbes shared miraculous events which occurred in his life as a result of prayer, including the survival of his first child despite doctors telling him that he and his wife needed to say their goodbyes to their newborn son.

The overall chairman of the National Day of Prayer event in Washington each year is Shirley Dobson, the wife of Dr. James Dobson. The military and every branch of government was represented -- except for the Administration -- as President Obama did not send a representative. One of the highlights of the day was the Azula Pacific University all men's choir which sang several traditional hymns a cappella.

After the National Day of Prayer meeting which lasted from 9:00 AM to noon, I attended a special lunch with Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas for the International Israel Allies Caucus. Congressman Gohmert spoke of his most recent trip to Israel and his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. (Note: It was Congressman Gohmert who initiated the recommendation that led to Speaker Boehner inviting Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak to a joint session of Congress in 2010.) The congressman spoke of the continued need for prayer, but also reminded us that while Israel is mentioned as being part of End Time prophecy, the United States is not. He said nations that do not stand with Israel should not expect their God to protect them.

At 2:00 PM on the National Day of Prayer I made my way to a meeting at the Capitol Visitors' Center (CVC) which sits below the actual Capitol Building grounds. While most people believe this is merely a tourist entrance since the shooting at Tom Delay's office some years ago, it is actually an official business entrance as well. Also unknown to tourists is the fact that the CVC has both House and Senate meeting rooms that can be reserved only by Members of Congress for their use or the use of their constituents for special events. Full catering service is available.

Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri had arranged a conference room to be used by several groups led by Rev. Rick Scarborough of Texas for "40 Days to Save America." This is a prayer and fasting campaign to begin on September 28th and run through Election Day, November 6th. The object is to pray and fast for America to turn back to a godly path and to elect godly leaders.


THE MIKE HUCKABEE SHOW 

I was scheduled to appear the Fox News Channel's Mike Huckabee Show this weekend, however, while on the train to New York I received a call that I had been "bumped" for a breaking news segment on pro-life Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng who was forced out of the U.S. Embassy by Secretary of State Clinton when she arrived in China to promote the sale of more U.S. Debt. (Without Chinese loans the United States would be forced to disband the entire military.) Because I was in transit to New York the decision was made to tape my segment which centers on my book, My Life Without God, and show it at a later date. The taping will still be done in front of a live audience, and I will post the date of the actual show on the book's Facebook page as soon as it is known. You can help get the word out about the book my giving the page a "like."

My previous radio interview with Mike Huckabee is still online. Listen to it here. Please consider buying a copy of the book for your local library or a Christian school.
