PRESIDENCY 
OBAMA'S FROZEN REACTION TO EGYPT - Just two years ago Barack Obama delivered a speech at Cairo University lauding the greatness of Islam. Today the streets in front of the university are bloody as demonstrators rally to bring down the secular government of Egypt headed by Hosni Mubarak for the last 30 years. The last liberal president to help get rid of an Arab secular government was Jimmy Carter, who gave us the Ayatollah Khomeini and made Iran the main sponsor of terrorism in the world today. George W. Bush toppled the secular government of Iraq and of course that has really worked out well, hasn't it? Even someone as ill versed in foreign affairs as Barack Obama and his sidekick Hillary Clinton realize that toppling the secular government of Egypt can lead to yet another center for terror activity in the Middle East and as a result Obama is frozen, unable to do or say anything about the unrest there.
 

THE CONGRESS 

CONGRESSMAN OFFERS BILL ON RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST - There is increasing violence and targeted attacks against Christians in various Islamic nations including Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Egypt. Congressman. Frank Wolf (R-VA) this week introduced a bill to create a special ambassador from the U.S. State Department for religious minorities in these areas of concern. "If the international community fails to speak out, the prospects for religious pluralism and tolerance in the region are bleak," Wolf said in introducing the bill. "President Ronald Reagan once said that the U.S. Constitution is a 'covenant that we have made not only with ourselves, but with all of mankind.''' Without an international spotlight forcing governments in the region to protect religious minorities, the attacks will continue.  
IN GOD WE TRUST - Congressman Randy Forbes (R-Va) reintroduced his resolution to reaffirm 'In God We Trust' as our national motto. (H.Con.Res.13). Forbes wants to reaffirm the motto in light of President Obama having stated incorrectly on several occasions that our national motto is E pluribus unum. Forbes is the founding member of the Congressional Prayer Caucus.

CULTURE AND RELIGION 
RADICAL MUSLIMS AND THE OTM PROBLEM - OTM means "Other than Mexican" when referring to people being smuggled into the US from Mexico. This past week, U.S. border agents found a radical Muslim cleric who had been deported from Canada and banned from France in the truck of a BMW entering the US from Mexico. Said Jaziri was one of the Imams who issued a death fatwa against a Danish cartoonist who drew pictures of the Mohammed. The car was driven by Kenneth Robert Lawler. Read more SUICIDE BOMBERS AT OUR BORDER? - Well, at least the book is. "In Memory of Our Martyrs" was found this week by the Border Patrol near the Casa Grande while looking for illegal drugs. The book, published in Iran, contains short biographies of Islamic suicide bombers as well as their final letters to their families. Homeland security saw no issue with the book, telling news agencies, "At this time, DHS does not have any credible information on terrorist groups operating along the Southwest border." Hmmm.

NO 911 MOSQUE!

NEW IMAM: JAIL INSTEAD OF DEATH FOR APOSTATES - The new Ground Zero mosque imam wants to prove to he world that he is indeed moderate. World Net Daily found a lecture Abdallah Adhami gave in November, 2010 in which he stated, "If someone leaves the din, leaves the path privately, they cannot be touched. If someone preaches about apostasy, or preaches their views, they're jailed." Actually this is rather moderate for an Imam and goes against the Qu'ran which calls for death for anyone leaving Islam.

GOOGLE REFUSES TO ALLOW VIDEO AD - Anyone can promote a Youtube video, unless Google doesn't like it. Our commercial against the Ground Zero mosque is located http://www.youtube.com/No911Mosque. An account was opened with a valid credit card and key words were added to "promote" the video. Nothing happened, no impressions, no clicks, nothing, although the promotion showed as active. Google refused to respond to emails. Several faxes over several weeks were sent to Goodle's offices and they have simply refused to answer. Why? The ad was not allowed to run because of pro-Islamic bigotry on the part of Google. Your help is needed to get the ad out. Please look at the ad at http://www.youtube.com/No911Mosque and then share it on Facebook and email it to friends. We need your help.

INTERNATIONAL 

DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT? - The first question we need to ask is why all the street violence in the Middle East right now is against secular governments, not against totalitarian Islamic governments. There are calls from the right and left in the United States to allow the toppling of the secular government of Egypt, but what would replace it, the Muslim Brotherhood? Social conservatives should ask how the fall of a secular government there would help the tormented and repressed Christians of Egypt. Would it be replaced with the type of government we have helped establish in Iraq, where 60% of the Christians have been displaced? Worse yet, we all remember what happened when Jimmy Carter got rid of the secular government in Iran in the 1970's. True "democracy" in Egypt means one election that will bring in Islamic extremists who will then build bases for terror attacks against the West. Let's think this over a little before we act.  
EGYPT ALREADY MOVING TO EXTREME - In an article in the official Egyptian government weekly Al-Liwaa Al-Islami, author Hassan Al-Hafanawi wrote that Israel's destruction was inevitable because it was prophesied in the Torah, the New Testament, and the Koran. Read excerpts at MEMRI
NUCLEAR WAR IN 18 MONTHS? - If Egypt's secular government falls, no other secular government in the Islamic world will last more than a year, as the revolt spreads and the extremists take control. Pakistan's fragile secular government will fall to Muslim extremists within six months of a collapse of Egypt, and their more than 100 nuclear weapons will soon be distributed to nations surrounding Israel. A limited nuclear engagement will follow. This is not from the news; this is a prediction of the editor of this report, William J. Murray

Worshiping Moloch and abortion are one and the same / Human Rights activist asks Obama, "Which girl should die" / What did ObamaCare repeal really do? / No Tax money for abortions / Fed Judge OK'S Sharia Law / Sharia judge for NJ / Telling the truth on the radio / The GZ mosque's new imam / Muslims tell Pope that killing Christians is their "internal affair"
 
WORSHIPING MOLOCH, HUMAN SACRIFICE - January 24th is the anniversary of the legalization of murder of the unborn in the United States. Children are killed for the convenience and prosperity of the parents ... Just as children were sacrificed to Moloch during biblical times. Read William J. Murray's article which now appears at World Net Daily and other sites.
 
NEW JANUARY 12th CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - Issues highlights: Media ignores Ground Zero community center under construction. Terrorists are just folks, too.

PRESIDENCY 

WHICH GIRL WOULD DIE, MR. PRESIDENT? - As the anniversary of Roe V Wade approaches and President Hu of China dines at the White House, a Chinese human rights advocate addressed President Obama on the issue of forced abortion. "Just imagine, just imagine, among your two beautiful children, all you are allowed to have is one; the other one has to be put to death," said Chai Ling. Ling's remarks were made as she detailed the chilling statistics of forced abortion and the sterilization policy in China. "As we gather here in Washington, over 35,000 forced and coerced abortions are taking place today in China; every 2.5 seconds a precious baby's life is taken; among every six baby girls, one will never be born simply because she is a girl." Did the president hear her call, or was he too busy selling American debt to China? Read more
 

THE CONGRESS 

WHAT DID REPEAL VOTE DO? - All House Republicans plus three Democrats voted this week to repeal ObamaCare, but the legislation cannot pass the Democrat controlled Senate. Was the vote just symbolic? No, according to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann who stated that the vote sent a message to the people that Republicans are keeping their promise and that more work can and will be done. "We are making this our priority issue," the Minnesota Republican said.  
NO TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION ACT - This week HR-3 barring taxpayer funding of abortions was filed by Speaker of the House John Boehner and other pro-life congressmen including Chris Smith (R-NJ). In introducing the bill Speaker Boehner said, "A ban on taxpayer funding of abortion is the will of the people and ought to be the law of the land. But current law - particularly as enforced by this Administration - does not reflect the will of the people." The bill is expected to pass the House but meet fierce opposition from a very pro-abortion Senate leadership

CULTURE AND RELIGION 

FEDERAL JUDGE OK'S SHARIA LAW - The Thomas Moore Society filed a lawsuit to block AIG, which is owned by taxpayers, from using funds obtained from a federal bailout to promote sharia (Islamic) law. Michigan Federal District Court Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff, dismissed the challenge, thus allowing AIG to continue using their U.S. government bailout money in support of Islamic indoctrination using sharia compliant financing. The Thomas Moore Society will appeal the ruling.  
IN NEW JERSEY, A JUDGE FOR HAMAS - New Jersey, the Garden State, has just taken its first step toward becoming the Sharia State, with Governor Christie's nomination of Sohail Mohammed, an attorney to detained terrorist suspects, to a Superior Court judgeship in Passaic County. The Sohail nomination continues Christie's unfortunate pandering to the American Muslim Union and the Islamic Center of Passaic County. Read more
WILLIAM J MURRAY ON THE RADIO - Immediately after the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords, the left-wing accused conservative women of causing the attack. During the two weeks since the shooting I have appeared on numerous radio shows pointing out that it is the liberal media that dehumanizes conservative female politicians. Some of the stations I have appeared on were KTOK - Oklahoma City, WAEB - Allentown, WORQ - Green Bay, KMED - Portland, KJAD - Salina, and KVDW - Jacksonville. In addition this past week I appeared on Stand For the Truth, a national program where I discussed several other issues as well. An audio link is available above. I also wrote an article on the shooting.

NO 911 MOSQUE!

NEW GZ IMAM CLAIMS TO BE DESCENDANT OF MOHAMMAD! - Supporters of the Ground Zero mosque were surprised to see their buddy Imam Feisal Rauf suddenly dumped as spiritual leader of what was first Cordoba House and is now known at 51Park. Rauf and his wife Daisy Kahn moved easily through the cocktail party circuit, schmoozing with wealthy liberals like Mayor Bloomberg and Arianna Huffington. Rauf's replacement is unfamiliar to them, and his circle of friends may prove to be quite a bit more radical than Imam Rauf's. Read more

MUSLIMS TELL POPE: IF WE CAN'T KILL CATHOLICS WE WONT TALK TO YOU - Some leading Egyptian intellectuals, including Al Azhar University president, Sheikh Ahmed el-Taye, and other leading members of the Islamic Research Academy, said they would have no further dialogue with the Vatican because Pope Benedict XVI had criticized the murder of Christians by Muslims. The Pope called attention to "non-Muslims being oppressed by Muslim states in the Middle East" after the most recent bombing of a Coptic Church that killed 23. Sheikh Ahmed accused the Pope of interfering in an "internal affair." Read more

Hood massacre? / The Greening of CPAC / ACLJ files suit against GZ mosque / More Christians killed in Egypt / More Christian blood to be shed in Sudan? / In Denmark, don't talk about the Muslims
 
LIBERALS AND MEDIA TAKE AIM AT FEMALE CONSERVATIVES - Various newspapers and World Net Daily have published my new Op-ed on the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords and the attempt to blame the act of a deranged male on female conservatives.
 
NEW JANUARY 12th CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - Issues highlights: Media ignores Ground Zero community center under construction. Terrorists are just folks, too. Obama finds Muslim victims where they don't exist. Oath on oldest American Bible. Court says war memorial cross must go. Elton John, "married" to another man, becomes a daddy. CPAC goes gay-er. The real war on Christmas.

PRESIDENCY 

GREAT SPEECH, BAD SHOW - Conservative Columnist Charles Krauthammer praised Obama's speech as a "remarkable display of oratory and of oratorical skill, both in terms of the tone and the content." In his address, much to the shock of the left-wing media, he called for an end to hateful finger pointing after the attack. That was the good part ... but unfortunately Obama's supporters decided to turn the memorial into a campaign rally, complete with distribution of free t-shirts. Instead of being a solemn event, the memorial resembled an Obama pep rally with the president of Arizona University praising Mr. Obama for being "visionary" and "courageous." Students who stuffed the hall regularly cheered, clapped, whistled and hollered as the president basked in his glory. My response: "We can do better than this."
 

THE CONGRESS 

THOUGHTS ON THE GIFFORDS SHOOTING - The last time a congressman was shot, it was political. Puerto Rican nationals invaded the Capitol Building in 1954 and shot at congressmen from the gallery. Five congressman were wounded in the attack. For historical reasons, the bullet holes in the desks were never repaired. Unlike the 1954 incident, there was absolutely nothing political about the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. That, however, did not stop the left from blaming female conservatives such as Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann for the attack. The attacks on Palin and others were so disgusting that polls showed the vast majority of Americans disagreed. At the height of the left's attacks and before the Obama speech, I wrote an op-ed exposing the left's false and viscous attacks. Read op-ed.
SOME REALLY ODD REACTIONS - I really like Congressman Peter King (R-NY), who is the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. He has promised hearings into the growing Islamic threat to America. However, his reaction to the shooting in Tuscon was a little bizarre. He wants to pass a law making it illegal to carry a gun within 1,000 feet of a congressman. Hello! My congressman drives 60 miles a day each way back and forth to Washington, DC. How is this enforced? Elected officials are not stationary; they move around and people who have valid reasons to have firearms would not know of their presence but would be breaking the law. Note: there are three major sporting goods stores that sell guns within 1,000 feet of my congressman's Virginia constituent office. What do they, close their doors when he is in his office? Bills proposed by other congressmen are even more ridiculous. Freedom carries risks. Americans can only be totally protected when they are willing to give up all of their freedom.

CULTURE AND RELIGION 

WHAT FORT HOOD SHOOTING? - Within a few days after Islamic radical Major Nidal Hasan fired more than 200 shots at Ft. Hood, killing 13 and wounding 30, the story vanished from the mainstream media. Newspapers such a s the New York Times and Washington Post, which now blame conservative talk radio and politicians such as Sarah Palin for the Tuscon shootings, could find no link at all between Hasan and Islam. This was despite his chants of "Allah Akbar" as he shot down innocent men and women. No, this is not just a double standard; it is flat out bias against conservatives mixed with a fear of Islam.  
THE GREENING OF CPAC - The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has become a major event in Washington, DC each February, attracting many aspiring presidential candidates. As the conference grew, it unfortunately became corrupted, accepting sponsorships from groups that can hardly be called part of the conservative movement, including anti-traditional family organizations like GO-PROUD and the ACLU. The Religious Freedom Coalition dropped out several years ago when CPAC refused to allow a discussion on Islam. Then Liberty University dropped out in 2009. This year the Family Research Counsel as well as Concerned Woman of America have dissociated themselves from CPAC. This comes at a time that the CPAC parent, the American Conservative Union, has reported nearly $400,000 in missing funds on its tax return. Chairman David Keene is reportedly stepping down, but cold hard cash has so overcome the conservative principles of the organization that it may be too late.

NO 911 MOSQUE!

ACLJ FILES SUIT AGAINST GZ MOSQUE - The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), representing 9/11 first responder firefighter Tim Brown, filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against any demolition at the proposed site of the Ground Zero mosque. the lawsuit states that Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his office illegally assisted the developer, Sharif al-Gamal. In addition, ACLJ counsel Brett Joshpe, requested discovery in the case because the mayor's office has failed to respond to Freedom of Information Law requests. Mayor Bloomberg is not the only one refusing to divulge information. The State Department continues to stonewall requests under the Freedom of Information law made by the Religious Freedom Coalition and Judicial Watch, concerning the State Department's relationship with Imam Feisal Rauf.

MORE CHRISTIANS KILLED IN EGYPT -At the beginning of the year a car bomb in Alexandria killed Christians during a church service, and then a few days later an Egyptian off-duty police officer boarded a commuter train, sought out Christians and opened fire killing one and wounding others. Coptic Christians gathered Thursday, January 12th in Zabbaleen, a Christian suburb of Cairo to peacefully protest the fatal attacks and were immediately surrounded by Egyptian police who fired live bullets and gas bombs into the crowd. Read more 
CHRISTIANS OF THE SUDAN - The media has reported broadly on the independence vote of the "southern Sudanese." One article noted that 150,000 "southern Sudanese" had fled the north in anticipation of the south becoming independent. A bloody civil war between north and south is mentioned frequently. The only word missing from the headlines and the stories is "Christian." More than 2 1/2 million Christian southerners were murdered by the Muslim north, headed by President for life Omar al-Bashir. If the independence vote calls for succession there will probably be another brutal war against the Christians of the south.
IN DENMARK, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT - A member of Parliament in Denmark has been found guilty of "hate speech" because he mentioned honor killings in the Muslim community. Now a professor is facing jail time for exposing the kidnapping of non Muslim girls (unbelievers) for use as sexual slaves. Apparently the Danes have decided to prosecute those who expose Muslim crimes while ignoring the crimes themselves, even if it involves human slavery. Read more

Did rhetoric cause shooting of Congresswoman?

Jared Loughner, the man who shot Congresswoman Giffords and eighteen others, is an atheist and a pothead who also dabbled in the occult. At just 22-years-old, he has a history of drug and alcohol abuse that includes being taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. His abuse of drugs caused the military to refuse him. He was described by fellow students as “leftwing” and “out of control.”

With Loughner’s history, it is easy to see why the left is blaming Sarah Palin for the shooting. The left and the establishment media desperately need to shift the blame from the perpetrator to someone else, someone that does not share their ideology.

President John F. Kennedy was shot by an atheist. The shooter was also a communist who had defected to the Soviet Union and then returned to the United States. For decades the left tried to blame the CIA, the FBI, the mob, a secret right-wing group, anyone but the actual shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald.  This was because they shared, for the most part, Oswald’s ideologies. The left fed bizarre conspiracy theories about the assassination of John F. Kennedy to take the blame away from a communist.

Did visceral political rhetoric lead to the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, as the left and the “mainstream” media claims?  Maybe … if you take into account the horrible attacks on Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann during the last election. The left and the mainstream media hate conservative women and do their best to dehumanize them. As conservative female political leaders are dehumanized it makes them easier for madmen like Jared Loughner to attack them physically.

Congresswoman Giffords, although not pro-life was considered a conservative or “blue dog” Democrat who voted against Nancy Pelosi’s leadership. Despite her politics and the facts of the case, the visceral hatred of female politicians is still running in the Huffington Post and MSNBC and liberal male congressmen are making that finger pointing a part of their future platforms by blaming conservative women for the attack on Congresswoman Giffords.

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann is a constant target of death threats thanks to the vicious ravings of Adriana Huffington who is fanatically backed by billionaire radical leftist George Soros. If we want to bring a halt to physical attacks on elected officials perhaps we can start with ending the dehumanizing attacks on conservative figures by far left bloggers and NBC, particularly attacks on conservative women.

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS - This week a new editorial I wrote about the violence against Christians has appeared in newspapers and at major Internet news sites. Please help distribute this important article which exposes Muslim violence and the ridiculous claim of "Islamophbia."

PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA AND TERRORIST FACTS- On New Year's Eve a bomb exploded in front of a Coptic Christian Church in Alexandria, Egypt and the immediate response from President Obama was to create imaginary Muslim victims. In his statement he said, "I strongly condemn the separate and outrageous terrorist bombing attacks in Egypt and Nigeria. The attack on a church in Alexandria, Egypt caused 21 reported deaths and dozens of injured from both the Christian and Muslim communities." There were no Muslims killed or injured in the blast. The Voice of the Copts reported that there were 45 dead, not 21. Obama is so fearful of offending Muslims that even when they commit heinous crimes he tries to cast them as the victims.

THE CONGRESS 

OATH ON OLDEST AMERICAN BIBLE - Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL)) was sworn in this week by Speaker John Boehner in a truly historic way. Aderholt took his official oath-of-office on the very first Bible ever printed in America. Called the "Eliot Bible," it was published in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1663 under the title "The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New." Aderholt was the only Member to use the Eliot Bible for the oath of office. The Bible was translated into the Algonquian Indian language by John Eliot for his missionary efforts among Native Americans. The congressman and his family are pictured with Speaker Boehner.  
THE GAVEL CHANGES HANDS - It is now Speaker Boehner's and the ramifications are huge for social conservatives. As was former speaker Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Boehner is a Roman Catholic; however there are key differences. Unlike Pelosi, Speaker Boehner is allowed by bishops and priests to celebrate the sacrament, as he is 100% pro-life, Many bills on social conservative issues that Pelosi refused to allow on the floor for a vote, should now be allowed. In addition, this coming December we can look forward to a congressional Christmas tree rather than a "holiday" tree.

COURT BANS WAR MEMORIAL - The Mt. Soledad War Memorial has at its center a cross, and for 20 years it has been the goal of atheists and the ACLU to make sure this memorial to those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom is torn down. Now the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, known broadly as the Nutty Ninth, has order the cross to be removed. Congressman Duncan Hunter Jr., who has served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, was quick to call on Attorney General Holder to defend the memorial saying, "The Ninth Circuit's decision is a disservice to these men and women and blatantly ignores the Memorial's proud history as a symbol of military service. I'm confident the Memorial will remain intact as the judicial process proceeds, but it's important the federal government does whatever it can to defend the Memorial and ensure it remains untouched." NEW DECEMBER 22nd CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - Issue highlights: Pakistani pastor set on fire / Mayor Bloomberg sued over Ground Zero mosque / Obama the messiah has no crown and he doesn't know the national motto / Congressional liberals go down in flames / The Justice Department sues a school to give a Muslim teacher special rights / More international

NO 911 MOSQUE!

CULTURAL CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW! - Mayor Bloomberg claims that the "Muslim community center" at Ground Zero is desperately needed as a community center for lower Manhattan. The Cordoba Initiative and the developer, Sharif El-Gamal, say the 15-story Muslim Center will fill a need for meeting halls, dorms, recreational facilities and swimming pools in the area. However, there is a $73 million, 60,000-square foot community center under construction just a few blocks away that may open as early as the end of this year.

TAKING HIS SHOW ON THE ROAD - The slumlord imam and Ground Zero mosque promoter, Feisal Rauf, has decided to take his show on the road starting with the Muslim community in Detroit. He will then be paid huge fees by radical universities such as Harvard, Yale, Georgetown and the University of North Carolina to promote the Ground Zero mosque. To "protect him" the meetings are closed to all those who may disagree with him. Question: Why isn't this done for Ann Coulter when she speaks at colleges?

INTERNATIONAL 

MURDER OF A SECULARIST - In Muslim nations it is often the secularists who are true heroes fighting Islamic oppression. Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab province in Pakistan, was gunned down by his own body guard for his courageous criticism of Pakistan's blasphemy law. It is this law that was used to sentence Asia Bibi, a Christian, to death. No statement on Taseer's assassination was issued by the White House. The independent US Commission on International Religious Freedom did condemn the slaying and stated, "We urge Pakistan to eliminate its blasphemy law, which impedes freedom of religion and belief and can only weaken its internal security and stability.'  
PRAYERS FOR THE KILLER, NOT THE VICTIM - Supporters of Salman Taseer's killer, Mumtaz Qadri, gathered at the court in Islamabad. As he was taken by the crowd, they hugged him and showered him with rose petals to show their support for his murderous act. More than 500 scholars of the Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat signed a letter telling Muslims not to offer the funeral prayers for Governor Punjab Salman Taseer nor to mourn his death saying, "There should be no expression of grief or sympathy on the death of the governor, as those who support blasphemy of the Prophet are themselves indulging in blasphemy." These scholars are considered to be "moderate" Muslim leaders by Western standards.
IRAN ARRESTS CHRISTIANS ON CHRISTMAS DAY - The Iranian government has arrested more than 70 Christians in the past two weeks including 25 that were arrested in the early morning hours of Christmas Day. Most of those arrested were in Tehran Province where the governor, Morteza Tamaddon, said "the leaders of this movement have been arrested in Tehran province and more will be arrested in the near future." He called those arrested "tabshiri" which means missionaries and said that "their conspiracy was unveiled quickly and the first blows were delivered to them. Because Iran is a closed Islamic society without civilized rule, it is difficult to obtain information on those arrested or their condition.
THIS WAS THE HOME OF ANNE FRANK - Before the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, there were 140,000 Jews there. Today the number is decreasing rapidly because of antisemitism as the number of Muslims grow. There are now just 30,000 Jews in the Netherlands while the Muslim population is estimated at more than 500,000, and this has caused some very public crimes such as the beatings of rabbis on the street. There is probably a Jewish exodus in Detroit, Michigan as the Muslim population grows along with its inherent antisemitism.

Islamophobia: is it persecution?

I have posted a new video at Youtube/ChristianRefugees that examines claims of "Islamophobia" in the West in light of the latest round of church bombings in Muslim areas. Is Detroit next?
