The Presidency
Obama's godless army - In Obama's new military, homosexual sex is fine, but praying or expressing one's faith is not. Morality is upside down in Obama's bizarre world - where good is evil and evil is good. It is a world where upholding traditional marriage between a man and woman can destroy your military career. It is also a world where Islam is elevated above Judeo-Christian values in Obama's foreign policies. Read more
Ft. Hood victim attacks Obama Administration - Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford was shot seven times by Islamic terrorist Nidal Hasan during the Fort Hood massacre four years ago. Lunsford is angered by Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to file terrorism charges against Hasan, a Muslim who served in the U.S. Army, but hated America and sought to defend the Taliban.

Congress
Congressmen defending faith in military - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is working for an amendment to the defense authorization bill that will protect the right of Christians and those of other faiths to express their religious beliefs without fear of punishment. Read more
Christian conservative for President? - Texas Senator Ted Cruz, (R) an outspoken pro-life Christian conservative was in Iowa today speaking at the Iowa Renewal Project, a gathering of conservative pastors. David Lane, who heads up the renewal project said, "There's going to be a major push in Iowa to get evangelicals registered and practicing in the civil government arena. You'll elect every senator, every congressman, every state representative, every governor, every mayor, every city council member - you'll own the whole deal if our constituency will engage."

No tax dollars for jihadists - The Religious Freedom Coalition has begun an online petition asking congressmen to speak out against any funding, military or otherwise, to jihadists anywhere in the world. The petition comes at a time the Obama Administration is furnishing help from the CIA, as well as cash and "humanitarian" aid, to jihadists fighting the secular government of Syria. Provide your name and zip code, and a copy of the petition will be faxed to your congressman free of charge. See petition here.
Religion and Culture
Pro-gay, anti DOMA decision will affect public schools - The recent Supreme Court decisions on Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) will have a negative impact on children in public schools in the near future, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom. Read more
American imam trashes Constitution and human rights - Muslim Imam Zaid Shakir recently spoke at the annual Islamic Society of North America-Muslim American Society convention in Hartford, Connecticut.

Dubai: European jailed because she was raped - A young Norwegian woman has been sentenced to 16 months in jail after she reported a rape in Dubai.

Under the UAE's Islamic Sharia law, rapists can only be convicted if either the perpetrator confesses, or if four adult Muslim males witness the crime. Read more
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood declares war - Reports are that the Muslim Brotherhood will begin attacks against Egypt's military compounds, military personnel, government buildings, and soft targets (houses, stores, and churches) in order to recover and secure their power over Egypt - then reinstate Mohammad Morsi as President.
