Report From Washington - March 30, 2012

IN THIS ISSUE: What does Obama's "after election flexibility" mean to Israel? / Does a Muslim really head the CIA anti-terror unit? / Gift book for Muslim couples - on wife beating / Catholic group leaves university in protest / Saudi Kingdom helps "rebels" in Syria? / French Muslim women honor child killer / In UK, forced marriage for 5-year-old / Man kills daughter over cell phone pics of American actor

NEWS FLASH: The most despotic nation in the world wants to send arms to the "rebels" in Syria -- the same "rebels" supported by Barack Obama and John McCain. See international section

THE PRESIDENCY
OBAMA'S "FLEXIBILITY" WITH RUSSIA - President Obama learned this week to make sure all microphones are off if you don't want the world to know what you say. Speaking to President Medvedev of Russia on the placement of American missiles in Europe, Obama said, "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." While the White House has put all sorts of spin on the comment it is clear he intends to agree with Russia either to move or eliminate our missile defenses in Europe. In other words he is currently lying to the American people about his position on the missile defense system there. Is he also lying to Israel about "having your back?"

A MUSLIM HEADS CIA ANTI-TERROR UNIT? - The Washington Post is reporting that the CIA officer in charge of the agency's counter-terrorism unit is a convert to Islam. The article by Greg Miller states that the CTC director is this Muslim named " Roger" who was the driving force behind killing Osama bin Laden. This one reporter at the Washington Post is the sole source of the story. No other news outlet can corroborate the information and no one with whom I have contact Capitol Hill can confirm this information. If true, it is odd indeed, or it is a total fabrication to promote the Muslim Brotherhood cause in America.

CONGRESS
CONGRESS ADJOURNED - The Congress adjourned Thursday evening for Easter and Passover without passing any significant legislation during the week other than to extend funding for highway construction for 90 days. Congress will reconvene on Monday. April 16th

RELIGION AND CULTURE

GIFT FOR MUSLIM COUPLES - A widely read book for newly married Muslim couples in Toronto states: "rights of the husband" include forbidding his wife to leave "his house without his permission." She must then "fulfill his desires" and "not allow herself to be untidy - but should beautify herself for him."- The book advises men that they should "scold" their wives. If that doesn't work, they may also "beat [the wife] by hand or stick, withhold money from her or pull (her) by the ears." It then adds that men should "refrain from beating her excessively."

CATHOLIC GROUP LEAVES VANDERBILT - Vanderbilt Catholic announced this week that it will leave Vanderbilt University rather than comply with the university's policy that prevents religious student groups from selecting leaders who share the groups' beliefs. Vanderbilt Catholic is one of the largest student organizations on campus. Read more

SAUDI KINGDOM ARMING "REBELS" - Why is one of the top five most despotic nations in the world arming the "rebels" who are fighting for "democracy" in Syria? The Saudi government, a despotic nation completely under sharia law, would not arm any group fighting for democracy. The fact that the the Saudis are supplying arms to the "rebels" in Syria, should tell our government the true nature of the anti-government forces in Syria. Particularly when al-Qaeda is also arming the "rebels!" The "rebels" are for the most part religious fanatics who want to bring down the secular government and establish a purely religious state under sharia. The Saudi Kingdom is supporting the implementation of sharia law and the destruction of the Christian church in Syria, not democracy.

FRENCH MUSLIM WOMEN HONOR CHILD KILLER - French police in riot gear lined up to prevent Muslim women in Toulouse, France from doing something best described as satanic - laying flowers at the childhood home of the monster Mohamed Merah. This was the killer who notoriously confessed to having felt unending pleasure at murdering seven people recently, including three soldiers, a rabbi and three young children. Read more

UK FORCED MARRIAGE - A five-year-old girl was among several hundred females involved in forced Islamic marriages in the UK last year. She was just one of 400 children assisted by the Government's Forced Marriage Unit during 2011. The Forced Marriage Unit (FMU), told the BBC that 29% of the cases it handled in 2011-12 involved minors.

ALGERIA: DAUGHTER KILLED OVER CELL PHONE PICTURE - In Algeria, a Muslim father used a kitchen knife to slaughter his 16-year-old daughter after discovering pictures of American and Turkish actors in her mobile phone. Read more

Report From Washington - March 23, 2012

Barack Obama and John McCain created an Egypt that calls for the destruction of Israel / In Oklahoma, Obama is pro-oil? / Congressional Prayer Caucus fights to save Mt. Soledad Cross / Several cities change official seals to say: In God We Trust / Christian neighborhoods in Syria bombed by "rebels" / USCRIF reports on nations that repress religious freedom / Sorry New York Times, the shooter was a Muslim, not a Nazi / Jew hating candidate for mayor of London has sweet words for Mohammed

THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA'S EGYPT - The "democratic" Eqypt President Obama and his ally Senator John McCain fought for has a new "democratic" parliament. One of its first acts was to declare Israel an enemy, call for a complete boycott of that nation while supporting the terrorists operations of the Palestinian "resistance." This is just one section from the resolution passed by the new Egyptian parliament: "Post-revolutionary Egypt will never be a friend, partner or ally of the Zionist entity, which we see as the foremost enemy of Egypt and the Arab nation. Egypt will treat this entity as an enemy, and the Egyptian government should reconsider its entire relationship and agreements with this enemy and the threat it poses to the security and national interests of Egypt." Obama and McCain have created a situation that will lead to a new Middle East war on a grander scale than ever before.
OBAMA IS PRO-OIL? - While campaigning for re-election in Oklahoma, President Obama posed in front of lengths oil pipeline and declared that he was gong to rush through the portion of the Keystone oil pipeline in Oklahoma that he had already rejected as a national project. He then took credit for more oil production in Oklahoma. Republicans promptly pointed out that this is a local pipeline that Obama has no authority over and it was being built anyway, without his OK, and that the increased production in Oklahoma is on private lands because Obama has stopped permits on public lands. Meanwhile Obama is calling on Saudi Arabia to produce more oil so our nation can send the Islamic madmen who rule that nation more money to repress women and deny human rights.

CONGRESS 

CONGRESSIONAL PRAYER CAUCUS DEFENDS CROSS - Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus joined the American Center for Law and Justice in submitting an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court, defending the presence of a cross at the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego, California. The brief urges the Supreme Court to take up the case and reverse a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that held the cross's presence at the memorial is unconstitutional. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

CITY SEAL - IN GOD WE TRUST - The cities of Chandler, Texas and Ontario, California have something in common. Both have added the words "In God We Trust" to their city seals. Other towns and cities are following suit as the ACLU has forced them to stop praying at meetings and courts have stripped their Bibles away from their kids at school. Since "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States the ACLU cannot stop any city, county or state from adding it to official seals which then appear on all documents.

MORE BOMBINGS AGAINST SYRIAN CHRISTIANS - Whenever you read about bombings in residential neighborhoods in Aleppo, Hamah, or Latakia, Syria, the victims are probably Christians. This week Christian upscale neighborhoods in Aleppo were bombed by the "rebels" supported by President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. The major rebel city, Homs, is a stronghold for radical Islamists who want all Christians and Jews cleansed from the Middle East. It is no surprise that the EU and the USA support the 'rebels" who will bring the same kind of democracy to Syria as was brought to Libya: Sharia law.

USCIRF RELIGOUS FREEDOM REPORT FOR 2012 - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), has released its 2012 Annual Report and recommended that the Secretary of State name the following nations "countries of particular concern" or CPCs: Burma, China, Egypt, Eritrea, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.* The vast majority of these nations receive American tax dollars. View full report here.

NEO NAZI ATTACK IN FRANCE - Liberal news outlets in the United States put forward a report that former French soldiers who were neo-Nazi's had attacked a Jewish school in France killing young children. This was at a time when there was absolutely no evidence this was true. The brutal killer turned out to be a Muslim who had held one seven-year-old girl by the hair while he shot her in the head. The gunman, Mohammed Merah, was so proud of his actions that he had taped a video camera to his own neck, to record the whole event. The continuing story was quickly dropped from the front pages of the New York Times, which now features numerous stories on how "racist" whites are in Florida.

LONDON MAYORAL CANDIDATE LOVES MOHAMMED - London mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone calls Prophet Mohammed's words an "agenda for all humanity" in a bizarre attempt to buy votes from the Islamic community. Livingstone frequently refers to Jews as Zionists and displays a hatred for Jews. He seeks Muslim votes saying that he does not expect Jews or Zionists to vote for a Labour candidate like him because they all have money. Read more

In this issue: Obama's hatred for domestic energy / Romney the day before his southern defeat / Congressman defends prayer at food pantry / Surprise: The New York Times has a bias against Christianity / Islam: Girl forced to marry rapist commits suicide / In the UK man sentenced to jail for being critical of Islam while UK government says Christians have no right to wear cross in public / Another Christian mother arrested for blasphemy in Pakistan

THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA AND OIL - Mr. President, you are a liar. There are 800 billion barrels of oil just in the Green Rover Formation, three times the total of Saudi Arabia. We note you use the word "proven" when you claim that the USA only has 2% of the world's oil reserves or just 22 billion barrels, but the word "proven" does not include federal lands and all the areas the government has forbidden drilling. Currently the USA produces 8.5 of the world's oil and 40% of the oil consumed in the USA is drilled right here in the USA. The nutty anti-people green agenda of the Democrat Party just will not allow more oil production in the USA.
ROMNEY THE DAY BEFORE ALABAMA - The day before he lost Alabama and Mississippi Mitt Romney said, "Sen. Santorum is at the desperate end of his campaign." Santorum won both states. Fearing a loss in Illinois as well Romney is shifting millions of dollars to buy radio and TV time there. The night of Santorum's win in the south Neal Cavuto on the Fox Business channel had seven Romney apologists in a row to explain how any Santorum victory was actually a Romney victory. It is just a little odd that both the left leaning and right leaning news outlets are pushing Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate.

CONGRESS 

CONGRESSMAN DEFENDS FOOD PANTRY - An Indiana food pantry was recently banned from distributing federal food items because its director routinely offered to pray with clients who had fallen on hard times. Clients received food regardless of their response to the prayer offers, but the organization that administers the federal food program said "The guidelines are no religious (activity) or teaching can be required for providing services." Rep. Todd Young, a Member of the Prayer Caucus, is looking into the situation and according to a spokesperson for his office, "It certainly appears there is a misinterpretation of some rules."

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

SURPRISE: NEW YORK TIMES BIAS AGAINST CHRISTIANS - The New York Times ran an ad by the Freedom from Religion Foundation telling liberal Catholics it was time for them to leave the church. An almost identical ad, with the same format, was sent to the New York Times addressed to "moderate" Muslims asking them to leave Islam. Of course, the Times refused to print that ad. This was such an incredible double standard that the New York Times refuses to even answer media questions about the ads. Read more.

MOROCCO: FORCED TO MARRY RAPIST - A 16-year-old Moroccan girl has committed suicide after a judge ordered her to marry her rapist, according to Moroccan media reports. Last year Amina al-Filali's parents filed charges against their daughter's rapist, a man 10 years older than her but it was only recently that a judge in the northern city of Tangier decided that instead of punishing him, the two must be married.

UK: YEAR IN JAIL FOR ISLAM INSULT - On March 6th, 2012 Darren Conway was sentenced to a year in prison for posting anti-Islamic materials in the window of his ground-floor apartment in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. As the BBC puts it, he was "convicted of a religiously aggravated public order offense for putting anti-Islamic literature in his window." This is Sharia law in action. Read more
UK: CHRISTIANS HAVE NO RIGHT TO WEAR CROSS Christians do not have a right to wear a cross or crucifix openly at work, the British government is to argue in a landmark court case. In a highly significant move, ministers will fight a case at the European Court of Human Rights in which two British women will seek to establish their right to display the cross. It is the first time that the government has been forced to state whether it backs the right of Christians to wear the symbol at work. Read more

Report From Washington - March 9, 2012

Muslim attack on Washington, DC on March 9th / Obama, centralized government and faith / Outrage over "post birth abortion" / Congressmen support religious liberty / Religious freedom for military chaplains / Why does Walt Disney Corp. hate Christians? / Constitution or Sharia Conference DVD available / Christian and Hindu women suffer in Pakistan / Spanish Imam on proper way to beat women / Muslim terrorists take over DC building - - in 1977

THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA, CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT AND FAITH - Presidential candidate Rick Santorum summed up his message this past Tuesday by saying: "This is an election about fundamental liberty. And the signature piece, the signature piece of legislation that points this out, where you have economic rights created by the government, and then the government using its heavy hand to force you to buy insurance, to force you to take policies that you don't want, and, of course, to force you to take coverages that may even violate your faith convictions..." That is the key: Barack Obama believes that government overrides any individual freedom; that the 'common good' as defined by him gives government the right to not only intrude upon but control the individual actions of each citizen.

ON THIS DAY IN TERRORISM - On March 9, in 1977, 12 armed Hanafi Muslims seized three buildings in Washington, DC, including the City Hall, killing two people and taking 149 hostages. Marion Barry, then a councilman, was wounded. The terrorists demanded that the U.S. government hand over two men and order the destruction of the movie, "Mohammad, Messenger of God," because they considered it sacrilegious.They surrendered after 39 hours. Note to President Barack Obama and Congressman Ron Paul: This was long before "America caused Islamic terrorism" by placing troops in the Middle East.

CONGRESS 

OUTRAGE OVER "POST BIRTH ABORTION" - Congressman Joe Pitts (R-PA) went to the floor of the House to express his outrage over an article in the February edition of the Journal of Medical Ethics titled "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?" The authors state that "merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone the right to life." I am sure that Adolf Hitler would agree, if he were alive. He did not ascribe the right to life to any Jew. See Pitts statement.

CONGRESSMEN SUPPORT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Amid recent attacks by the Obama Administration on religious freedom, Congressman Jeff Landry (R, LA-03) led a coalition of 79 House Members in sending a letter to the Budget Committee requesting that no funding be allocated to any effort which forces entities to violate their sacred beliefs. The letter urges the Budget Committee to remember the faith of our Founding Fathers and preserve our fundamental religious freedoms. Read more

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR MILITARY CHAPLAINS - Congressman Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) has introduced the "Military Religious Freedom Protection Act." The legislation is intended to codify protections of religious liberty for chaplains and service members following repeal of the policy known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The Military Religious Freedom Protection Act states that chaplains cannot be required to perform or participate in any duty, rite, ritual, ceremony, service or function that is contrary to their own conscience, moral principles, or religious beliefs or those of their faith group.

WHY DOES WALT DISNEY CORP. HATE CHRISTIANS? - The Disney Corporation owns the ABC television network, which just seems to go out of its way to offend both Christians and Jews. As this causes the network ratings to drop, they just to want to double down with with a new series called "GCB." The name has been shortened because of protests about its original title, Good Christian Bitches. The program features three immoral women who attend evangelical churches in Dallas. No Christian should visit any Disney theme park until GCB is off the air. Kraft has already pulled their advertising. You may want to contact ABC and ask them when they expect to air the Muslim version of GCB. TV executives are so fearful of attacks from Muslims that even news casts are tempered with no references to Muslims when hundreds are killed by Muslim terrorists.

PAKISTAN - Islamabad (AsiaNews) - Women from Pakistan's minority communities have a lower level of education but a higher level of infant mortality. They suffer discrimination in the workplace and are the victims of constant attempts at forced conversion or false charges of blasphemy.

RESPECT FOR RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE - Senator Roy Blunt, the co-chairman of the Senate Values Action Team (VAT) is not a Catholic, yet he led the way to remove the contraceptive mandate from Obama Care with his Respect for Rights of Conscience Bill.
