For nearly two decades I have written a weekly news update from
Capitol Hill which was emailed to supporters of the Religious Freedom
Coalition. The updates were also posted at our legacy site at rfcnet.org and then at ReligiousFreedomCoalition.org. A blog side MurrayOnTheHill.com
also carried the updates and they were used by numerous news sites for
reference. Regrettably over the years the number of subscribers declined
as news feeds became more popular and the number of readers did not
justify the amount of preparation work required.
The Weekly Capitol Hill Updates were discontinued in December of 2013.
Periodically the e-mail list of supporters is now used to notify of new material at our main Internet site.

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

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."

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.

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 Presidency
Obama created Syrian nightmare - Experts are referring to areas held by Obama's rebels as "the new cauldron for hatching terrorist strikes in the West." A bleak, well researched report in the Washington Times shows a hub of Islamic terror growing stronger every day in areas held by the forces supported by President Obama and Senator John McCain. Read more
Obama Army exposed for smearing Christian groups - Last week soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas were warned about giving money to evangelical groups or to Tea Party groups. They were told they could receive military punishment for doing so. This occurred on the same base where Nidal Hasan killed 13 soldiers and an unborn baby and wounded dozens more - and his actions were labeled "workplace violence" - even as he shouted praise to Allah. Read more
Pro-gay agenda activist takes over Homeland Security - President Obama has picked Department of Defense lawyer - Jeh Johnson - to run the massive Department of Homeland Security. In case Jeh Johnson's name isn't familiar to you, he's one of the primary architects behind the repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces. Read more

Read more
Congressman wants abortion coverage disclosed - Congressman Chris Smith (R) has more than 100 co-sponsors for H.R. 3279, the Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act. If passed into law it would force companies to disclose to those buying insurance if they were paying for coverage of abortions. Read more

World Council of Churches ignores persecuted Christians - Would the world, let alone Middle East Christians, be better off without the World Council of Churches (WCC)? Why has the WCC, which claims to represent and serve 345 denominations worldwide, done nothing to help the persecuted churches in Iraq, Syria and Egypt? Read more
International Religious Freedom Day ignored? - The issue of religious persecution around the world should be front and center for our government, but clearly it's not, under Obama. In fact, it has been Obama who has been one of the key political forces in creating more religious persecution around the world and in the United States since he took office. Read more

The Presidency
Obama created Syrian nightmare - Experts are referring to areas held by Obama's rebels as "the new cauldron for hatching terrorist strikes in the West." A bleak, well researched report in the Washington Times shows a hub of Islamic terror growing stronger every day in areas held by the forces supported by President Obama and Senator John McCain. Read more
Obama Army exposed for smearing Christian groups - Last week soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas were warned about giving money to evangelical groups or to Tea Party groups. They were told they could receive military punishment for doing so. This occurred on the same base where Nidal Hasan killed 13 soldiers and an unborn baby and wounded dozens more - and his actions were labeled "workplace violence" - even as he shouted praise to Allah. Read more
Pro-gay agenda activist takes over Homeland Security - President Obama has picked Department of Defense lawyer - Jeh Johnson - to run the massive Department of Homeland Security. In case Jeh Johnson's name isn't familiar to you, he's one of the primary architects behind the repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces. Read more
Congress
Senators demand response to persecution of Christians - In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, U.S. Senators Roy Blunt (MO), Bob Corker (TN.) and Lamar Alexander (TN) said recent reports of more frequent, targeted attacks against Coptic churches and individuals in Egypt "warrants a clear U.S. response." Read more
Congressman wants abortion coverage disclosed - Congressman Chris Smith (R) has more than 100 co-sponsors for H.R. 3279, the Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act. If passed into law it would force companies to disclose to those buying insurance if they were paying for coverage of abortions. Read more

Washington Report- October 18th, 2013
Editor: William J. Murray
In this issue: Obama's DOD threatens priest with arrest / Obama's Army says Christian groups are "hate" groups / Obama rebels collect jizia tax / McCain attacks Congressman Gohmert / California law allows boys to enter girls' restrooms / Morocco: Court persecutes Christians / Pakistan: Christian families in hiding / UK: Muslim terrorists arrested on plot to attack mall / Thailand: New bombings by Muslims kill at least 13
The Presidency
Obama's DOD threatens priest with arrest - During the recent partial shutdown of the government the Department of Defense blocked at least 50 Catholic priests from saying Mass and giving the sacraments at military facilities around the world. Catholic Priest Ray Leonard, who serves as Catholic chaplain for the Naval Submarine Base in Kings Bay, George, is now suing the DOD over this violation of his congregation's right to the free exercise of religion! He is being represented by the Thomas More Law Center. Read more.
Obama's Army says Christian groups are "hate" groups - Officials at the Pentagon have issued a statement that listing the American Family Association as a hate group doesn't reflect the policies of the Department of Defense. However, more and more reports are coming from bases showing this is continuing. Read more
Obama rebels collect jizia tax - A journalist discovered that in areas controlled by the Obama supported Free Syrian army, the "rebels" collect a jizia tax on Christians to support their jihad against the secular government of Syria. Read more
Congress
McCain attacks Congressman Gohmert - Senator John McCain (RINO-AZ) attacked Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) calling him a "person of no intelligence" - clearly suggesting that Gohmert was dim-witted and not worthy of dealing with. He was responding to Gohmert's very accurate statement that McCain was assisting al-Qaeda linked "rebels" who are killing Christians in Syria. Read more

California law allows boys to enter girls' restrooms - California public schools will be required under the "School Success and Opportunity Act" (AB 1266) beginning next year to permit K-12 students to use facilities, including restrooms and showers, and participate in school programs and activities, including athletic teams, according to their self-defined gender identity, irrespective of their birth gender. Those Californians who are not insane are raising signatures for a referendum to stop the law which would allow any boy of any age to walk into a girl's restroom or locker room if he "feels" like a girl that day.

Morocco: Court persecutes Christians - A court in "moderate" Morocco postponed until Dec. 31 an appeals hearing for a convert hastily sentenced to prison for alleged "proselytizing," in hopes that international publicity over his conviction will subside by then, Christian sources said. Read more
PAKISTAN: Christian families in hiding - A Pakistani Christian family was hiding Sunday, October 13, after allegedly receiving death threats for protesting against twin suicide attacks at a historic church in the violence-plagued city of Peshawar, in which their friends were killed. In total at least 171 people died and some 150 people were injured in the September blasts at Peshawar's All Saints Church. Read more
UK: Muslim terrorists arrested in plot to attack mall - London police and British intelligence services foiled a Nairobi-style terrorist attack on London citizens recently. Four Islamists were arrested. All are British nationals but are ethnics from Turkey, Algeria, Pakistan, and Azerbaijani. Still the UK imports tens of thousand of Muslims per year. Read more
THAILAND: New bombings by Muslims kill at least 13 - Two separate bomb explosions hit Thailand's southern Narathiwat province on Saturday, injuring 13 people, including five reporters, police said. More than 5,000 people have been killed and over 9,000 injured in Thailand's three Muslim, ethnic-Malay dominated southern border provinces since January, 2004. Read more
