PRESIDENCY 

THE PRESIDENT, ISRAEL AND GAYS?- And I thought Fidel Castro had long rambling speeches! During his address to the United Nations this week I got lost someplace between President Obama calling for an Islamic state in Samaria and this: "No country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere." The remark had one goal, to raise money from homosexuals for his 2012 campaign.

OBAMA AND THE PALESTINIAN STATE - Last year President Obama demanded that Israel return to the "67" borders and promised Palestinians everything they had ever demanded. After telling Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in advance that all his demands would be met, the President can't figure out why Abbas will no longer negotiate with Israel and instead demands a seat at the UN.

NETANYAHU RESPONDS - Prime Minister Netanyahu's response to Mahmoud Abbas' viral anti-Israeli speech was logical and balanced: '"I came here to speak the truth. The truth is that Israel wants peace. The truth is that I want peace. The truth is that Israel wants peace with the Palestinians, but they want a state without peace, and the truth is you shouldn't let that happen," he said. "The Palestinians should first make peace with Israel and then get their state. After peace is signed, Israel won't be the last country to accept a Palestinian state - we will be the first."

SHOVEL READY? - I don't normally work on economic issues on Capitol Hill, but l must attend meetings where these issues are discussed. At a recent event someone handed out a summary of the Stimulus Bill included "shovel ready" spending on our highways. Of the $825 billion spent, just $27.5 billion, or less than 3%, was spent on roads and bridges. Where did the rest go? There were 3,545 "green jobs" created at a cost of $4.83 million each. There were 1,100 of those jobs lost when Solyndra went belly up.

THE CONGRESS 

U.S. COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM COULD SHUT DOWN - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, an independent government watchdog for abuses of religious freedom abroad, may cease to exist if the Senate doesn't act over the weekend to reauthorize it. Congress leaves soon for a week long recess and the commission will shut down Sept. 30 without Senate reauthorization. One Democratic senator is apparently holding up the reauthorization, according to several sources. An extension has passed the House but Senate action is needed. Contact your Senators now!

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

GAY AGENDA: FROM WHITE HOUSE TO SCHOOL HOUSE - This past Tuesday, high school freshman Dakota Ary was given in-school suspension for stating in class that he believes homosexuality is wrong because of his Christian faith. Liberty Counsel is representing Dakota in this case, demanding full vindication and a full retraction of the suspension. If the school board does not comply, a lawsuit will be filed for violation of Dakota's First Amendment rights. Read more

THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

MUSLIMS CAN VETO TAXI CAB ADS - Christians and Jews driving cabs in New York for years complained about vile advertisements on the tops of their cars for strip clubs. The Taxi Commission in New York City said the ads were up to the owner of the taxi medallion, not the driver or car owner. Then the Muslims complained and the rules were changed. The medallion owners must now get driver or owner approval of ads. Point: While Muslims make up less than one percent of New York's population, laws are frequently changed to accommodate them.

INTERNATIONAL 

DANISH MEGA-MOSQUE - The city council of Copenhagen has given its final approval for the construction of the first official "Grand Mosque" in the Danish capital. The mega-mosque will have a massive blue dome as well as two towering minarets and is architecturally designed to stand out on Copenhagen's low-rise skyline. Read more  
NO AID FOR CHRISTIAN OR HINDU FLOOD VICTIMS - Christian and Hindu flood victims are being denied aid by the Pakistani government and Muslim organizations, charges Father Mario Rodrigues, national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies. "The only channel to get humanitarian aid to displaced people belonging to religious minorities, Christians and Hindus, is Caritas [the Church's charitable agency] " he told the Fides news agency. The US government gives Pakistan billions of dollars a year in aid. Read more
AT LEAST 110 MORE CHRISTIANS DEAD IN JOS - A rash of attacks by armed Muslim extremists on villages in Nigeria's Plateau state in the past month have left more than 100 Christians dead, including the elimination of entire families. In a guerrilla-type "hit and run" attack on the Christian community of Vwang Kogot, Muslim attackers at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 9 killed 14 Christians, including a pregnant woman. Read more

PRESIDENCY 
THE PRESIDENT AT GROUND ZERO - No clergy were allowed at the official Ground Zero memorial service on September 11th, but President Barack Obama read a part of the 46th Psalm, the same Psalm he referred to in Arizona after the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords. The same secularist news media who attacked Gov. Rick Perry for appearing at a public prayer meeting in Texas had not a critical word for Obama's Bible reading in public. But then, maybe they had the inside word that it was an election year gimmick.  
OBAMA'S ARAB SPRING - The new leader of Libya declared this week that the new government birthed by President Barack Obama and European leaders would have sharia law. Mustafa Abdel Jalil said, "We seek a state of law, prosperity and one where Sharia is the main source for legislation, and this requires many things and conditions." Just a few days later in Cairo the Israeli embassy was invaded by jihadists as Egyptian police looked the other way. The situation was so dire that Prime Minister Netanyahu called President Obama asking him to talk the Egyptians into protecting the embassy staff, which the Egyptians begrudgingly did. Barack Obama's plan for the Middle East appears to be surrounding Israel with even more hostile enemies than it already has.

THE CONGRESS 

U.S. COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM COULD SHUT DOWN - Ten years ago the Religious Freedom Coalition worked to pass H.R. 1856, the International Religious Freedom Act which created the United States Commission on Religious Freedom (USCIRF). The bill had a ten year sunset, which means the commission's time will expire unless there is a reauthorization. Congressman Frank Wolf, along with Foreign Affairs Chairman Ros-Lehtinen and Ranking Member Berman, introduced a bill focusing solely on the reauthorization and reform of USCIRF. The bill passed this week, but now faces a Senate vote. Please ask your Senators to extend the life of the commission.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

SAUDI TEXTBOOKS STILL TEACH HATE - Saudi Arabia, home to 15 of the 19 terrorist hijackers of 9/11, continues to promote a violent form of Islam through its school system and textbooks, ten years after the attacks. The texts continue to teach students that "the Jews and the Christians are enemies" of Muslims and that Jews are "apes" and Christians are "swine." Read more CHURCHES AIDING MOSQUE WITH TERROR HISTORY - Christian houses of worship are lending their parking lots to a radical Washington-area mosque that aided some of the hijackers who attacked the Pentagon on Sept. 11, despite warnings from FBI agents and local anti-jihad watch groups that such brotherly outreach is only helping the Islamic center expand and potentially attract future terrorists. Read more

THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

A TRUTHFUL GROUND ZERO RALLY - A rally was held near Ground Zero and sponsored by Pamela Geller's Stop the Islamization of America, as a reminder that 9-11 was not just about the victims but also about remembering who attacked us. The rally was a great success. The crowd filled two city blocks, and many brought flags and banners. Speakers included family members of those who died in the 9-11 jihad attack against our nation. Leaders from groups fighting the advance of sharia law in their own nations spoke as well. It was an honor for me to open the event with an invocation.

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

INTERNATIONAL 

HOW MUSLIMS VIEW 9-11 - Muslim demonstrators burned an American flag outside the U.S. embassy in London during a moment of silence to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 jihad attack . Screaming "USA - terrorist state!" Muslims denounced the USA and carried anti-American banners. London police allowed the burning of the American flag but broke up a counter demonstration of pro-American Brits who had brought flowers to the embassy. Story and video  
ATTACK IN PHILIPPINES AVERTED - The Philippines National Police uncovered a plan by Islamic militants to blow up Catholic churches in Cotabato City. Regional police linked the attackers to Al Qaeda who were planning to plant three bombs in Catholic churches. In 2009, six people were killed and dozens wounded when a bomb went off outside Immaculate Conception Cathedral in the same city.
ATTACKS IN THAILAND ALMOST DAILY - Muslims demanding a separate Islamic republic under sharia law in Thailand are attacking innocent civilians almost daily. This week two Buddhist monks have been murdered. Yesterday five soldiers died when their truck was bombed in southern Thailand.

Report From Washington - September 9, 2011

REMEMBERING 9-11 - I was literally passing the Pentagon when American Airlines 77 struck the building. One year after the 9-11 jihad attack I wrote an essay on what I recalled from that day, including the insane pro-Islamic PC from the White House and my efforts to stop it. Each year I republish the essay, Remembering 911. This year an old video was found of a speech I delivered just at the first anniversary of the attack. That video is now at YouTube 

IN THIS ISSUE: Special 9-11 update / Remembering the jihad attack / The threat today / The rally at Ground Zero / Congress finds new 9-11 link / More Islamist attacks around the world / More Christians killed in Nigeria / Christian village in Egypt under attack

PRESIDENCY

THE PRESIDENT ON 9-11 - President Obama will attend a service Sunday morning with a Catholic priest, a rabbi and an imam. No evangelical pastors will be permitted to participate. The event has been moved from the National Cathedral because a series of acts of God, an earthquake and floods, have rendered the main sanctuary unusable. The service will now be held at the Kennedy Center and the imam will, of course, pray in Arabic.  
THE PRESIDENT IN NEW YORK - President Obama will fly to New York to speak at an event only for "family members" of those killed on 9-11. First responders and those injured that day are not welcome. The restrictions are not new. Ten years ago officials in New York made the decision to make sure that events commemorating the "terrorist attack" would diminish over the years as family members aged.

THE CONGRESS 

PETER KING FINDS NEW 9-11 LINK - Congressman Peter King (R-NY), in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, said investigators believe it is no coincidence that Anwar al-Awlaki had contact with three of the five hijackers who flew a plane into the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001. The House Homeland Security Committee is investigating to determine "to what extent Anwar al-Awlaki wittingly or unwittingly facilitated the plot of the 9/11 hijackers." After the attacks, Al-Awlaki was invited to speak at a Pentagon lunch and was also invited by Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison to speak on Capitol Hill. Al-Awlaki also encouraged the attack by Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood. Read more
 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

RALLY AT GROUND ZERO - This Sunday at 3:00 a massive rally will be held honoring the fallen of the 9-11 jihad attack -- a rally that tells the truth about Islamic oppression.

INTERNATIONAL 

SEPTEMBER JIHAD ATTACKS - As of noon today (9/9/11) there have been twenty (20) Islamic terror attacks on innocent civilians in September. On the 7th a suicide bomber killed 13 and wounded 89 in front of a court house in New Delhi, India. Early today a father and his seven young children were hacked to death when Muslims attacked their home in Barkin Ladi, Nigeria. Christians and Hindus are not the only victims. Several attacks have killed Buddhists in Thailand so far this month. 
TERROR NOT THE FULL STORY - Although thousands of innocent people are killed in Islamic terror attacks, many more die at the hands of Islamic sharia law. In Iran this past week three men were publicly hanged for homosexuality, as it is forbidden by sharia. In Islamic controlled northern Nigeria, two men had their hands cut off at their wrists for stealing a bull. Many women were murdered by their Muslim fathers this week for family "honor." A woman in Jordan was shot dead by her father in the hospital shortly after she gave birth to twins. Her crime was not being married.
MORE "ARAB SPRING" FOR 9-11 - Christians in the Upper Egyptian village of Elmarinab in Edfu, Aswan province, have been forbidden to leave their homes or buy food until they remove the dome of St. George's Church, which was rebuilt in its previous location. Village Muslims, backed by Muslim Salafists from neighboring villages, have threatened to demolish the church today (September 9th) after their Friday prayers and use it as a mosque. Read more

Remembering September 11th

I was on I-395 approaching the 14th Street bridge at the moment Islamic terrorists flew hijacked American Airlines 77 into the Pentagon. At the time I was literally on the phone with an assistant to President Bush talking about the jihad attack in New York City. I had been headed to a press conference in support of the Sudan Peace Act that the White House opposed. The Sudan Peace Act would have punished the Islamic Sudanese government economically for murdering for the continued persecution and mass murder of Christians in the South Sudan. This video contains my remarks at a church service on the first anniversary of of the jihad attack of September 11th against the United States.

Report From Washington - September 2, 2011

Date set for Constitution or Sharia Conference / Obama Administration to fight "Islamophobia" by eliminating free speech / Obama wants more jobs (in Saudi Arabia) / Senator Lieberman says Obama too concerned about offending Muslims / Muslims go after coloring book depicting 9-11 attacks / Muslim Brotherhood in America / Final Ramadan body count / More Christian persecution in Norway

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

PRESIDENCY 

THE ADMINISTRATION TAKES ON "ISLAMOPHOBIA" - An unprecedented collaboration between the Obama administration and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC, formerly called the Organization of the Islamic Conference) to combat "Islamophobia" may soon result in the delegitimization of freedom of expression as a human right. Read the rest.

OBAMA'S BLIND SPOT - When Libya's Moammar Gadhafi tried to put down an uprising of Muslim extremists, President Barack Obama rushed in to bomb the presidential palace in Tripoli. In Egypt, the Obama Administration made it clear to President Mubarak that he must leave power or see the wrath of the United States after he ordered the killing of some Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators. Yet, every single day, Christians are arrested, tortured and killed by Muslim extremist governments and Obama says nothing. Currently the Administration is working to overthrow the last secular nation in the Middle East -- Syria, the only nation in which Christians can still safely live. President Obama continues to ignore the real story in Iran, which is not the nukes, but the persecution of Christians. Read the rest

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS FOR SAUDI ARABIA- The very day President Obama announced he would speak to the nation on job creation, his Administration announced regulations that would kill jobs and increase dependence on Islamic nations for energy. As a result of the regulations coal mines will close, older oil refineries will close, and an additional $7 billion a year will be spent by businesses on more regulation. Corporations must recover the money someplace, and that means fewer jobs, Meanwhile the Administration has shut down "until further notice" the North Anna Nuclear Power Plant in Virginia, which was not damaged during the earthquake in August. It will probably never reopen, causing even more oil to be imported.

THE CONGRESS 

SENATOR LIEBERMAN: OBAMA TOO CONCERNED WITH OFFENDING MUSLIMS - "The administration still refuses to call our enemy in this war by its proper name: violent Islamist extremism," Lieberman said, speaking at a National Press Club event hosted by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). "To call our enemy 'violent extremism' is so general and vague that it ultimately has no meaning. The other term used sometimes is Al Qaeda and its allies. Now that's better but it is still too narrow and focuses us on groups as opposed to what I would call an ideology, which is what we're really fighting." Read the rest  
IN RECESS - The House and Senate are in recess until September 6th at 10:00 AM

RELIGION AND CULTURE 


CLAYTON, MO (KMOX) - Taking heat from Muslim groups upset with a coloring book about the 9/11 attacks, a publisher says he's been in contact with local police and the FBI. Wayne Bell, the publisher of Really Big Coloring Books, Inc., says there's been a negative backlash against the book "We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom." "These are people from Al-Jazeera that have called in here numerous times, people from Iranian TV, people from Palestinian Hamas TV," Bell said, "A lot of people from the Islamic community have called in here and said increasingly negative things prior to the book being made and then after we made the book too, about the book itself."

GAFFNEY WARNS ON MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD - Former Undersecretary of Defense, Frank Gaffney said, "In recent weeks, we have been put on notice repeatedly: Absent a fundamental course correction, America will go the way of Europe and others before it, succumbing to an insidious totalitarian doctrine known as Shariah whose purpose, in the words of its prime practitioners - the Muslim Brotherhood - is to "destroy Western civilization from within." Read more Frank Gaffney will speak at the Preserving Freedom Conference on 11/11/11.
NLRB: CHURCH SCHOOL NOT RELIGIOUS ENOUGH - St. Xavier University was founded in 1846, and is the oldest Catholic school in Illinois. Its corporate member is a Catholic body with the "powers for the governance of" St. Xavier, that "links the University to the [Catholic] Church and makes it an officially recognized member of the Church." St. Xavier's Board of Trustees must have at least four nuns from the order that founded the school, and, according to its bylaws, its governing body must "ensure [St. Xavier] continues its educational and religious mission." After quoting these sources and many others, the NLRB's regional director concluded in true Orwellian fashion that "the evidence establishes" that St. Xavier is "a secular educational institution or university."

INTERNATIONAL 

FINAL RAMADAN BODY COUNT - As of the 26th day of Ramadan, there have been 180 Islamic terror attacks, with a total of 785 killed and hundreds more wounded. TheReligionofPeace.com keeps a daily body count of victims each year during Ramadan. Islamic assassinations, mass murders and riots often peak during the "holy" month of Ramadan as imams poison the minds of men virtually every day rather than just on Fridays. The site has links to stories from all over the world, about Islamic terror attacks that are not reported in the United States.  
CHRISTIAN CONVERTS FLEE ASYLUM CENTER - At the center for asylum seekers in Jaern, Norway, where a Christian convert last week was attacked with boiling water, four other Christians have fled the center because of threats. Muslims at the asylum center told Christians, "This is Jihad, holy war, and we are waiting for at fatwa (license to kill) from the local imam at the mosque in Sandnes." One young man going by the name of "Arsland" told the newspaper Dagen, "I had to escape and flee the asylum reception center in fear for my life. "Arsland" is from Afghanistan and had converted to Christianity. Read more
