The Presidency
Obama to Nigeria: Don't abuse terrorists -

Obama's State Department refuses to recognize persecution of Christians - The U.S. State Department has just released its 2012 report on religious freedom around the globe - and refuses to designate key oppressive nations as "countries of particular concern." Those nations are Egypt, Pakistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Vietnam, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Read more
Saudi Columnist: Obama weakest president ever - A Saudi newspaper columnist named Mashari Al-Zaydi has attacked Obama for being "short-sighted, confused and diffident" over his foreign policies. The columnist slams Obama for his policy failures in dealing with Syria - and says it shows Obama's complete failure as a leader. And these are Obama's friends! Read more
DOJ wants no "religion" in private companies - Obama's lawyers were in court on May 22 to argue that his HHS abortion and contraceptive mandate on Christian-owned companies is perfectly legal because the government is concerned about a Christian employer establishing a religion or a religious framework within his company.

Congress
Senator McCain supports group calling for destruction of Israel -
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) traveled to Syria illegally to visit with "rebels" seeking to overthrow the government of Syria. McCain met with leaders of the Free Syrian Army units run by Gen.

McCain wants to provide arms, supplies and apparently U.S. military assets to help these jihadists who have killed thousands of Christians in Syria. Read more
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.

Report From Washington - February 22, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray
In this issue:
Obama and the Saudi Royals / White House: Some car bombs are not as bad as others / The great sequester scare / Muslim beheads Christians in New Jersey / In Europe the victim is to blame / CAIR: There is no Islamic terror / Abandoned Muslim kids must be raised as Muslims / Disappearing Coptic girls / Fifty Islamic attacks in Thailand in two days / 9-11: The Jews did it
Read More Below

The Presidency
Obama and the Saudi royals -
There was no condemnation from the White House of the arrest of 53 Ethiopian Christians for praying in a private home in Saudi Arabia. No Senators expressed "outrage." In contrast, there was universal condemnation by our government and press when naked lesbians in Russia were arrested for demonstrating on the steps of an Orthodox Church. According to our government and press, this "free expression" should be allowed by Russia, but when Saudi authorities arrest Christians for praying in a private home, it is not a problem at all. Read more

White House: Some car bombs not as bad as others-
When Islamist "rebels" set off car bombs and kill civilians in Iraq, it is a bad thing. But when Islamist "rebels" set off car bombs and kill children in Syria, it is --- well, just not mentioned. No statement came from the White House or State Department on the car bomb in a Damascus market that killed more than fifty people, including many children. The Administration blocked a resolution in the United Nations condemning the terrorist bombing. Read more

The great sequester scare -
Bottom line: Border agents will be forced to take 14 days of unpaid leave during 2013, which amounts to about one day a month. Some civilian defense workers may be forced to take as many as 20 unpaid leave days this year. Further no layoffs can occur before April 1st by law. The government is NOT going to shut down march 1st and the nation is not going to go undefended because of cuts don't even bring the spending down in 2010 levels. The hysteria is nonsense. If the matter were serious, would the President have flown Air Force One to Florida to take golf lessons from Tiger Woods? Actions speak a lot louder than words.
Congress
Congress in recess -
The House and Senate were in recess this week, while the President took golf lessons from serial adulterer Tiger Woods in Florida. The nation is just eight days away from the dreaded "sequester" which now seems inevitable.

Religion and Culture

Beheadings of Christians by Muslim in New Jersey-
Americans must ask themselves if Muslim-style "multiculturalism" fits into the United States of America. Can our country tolerate beheadings, be-handings, and female genital mutilation, arranged marriages of 12 year old girls and murders of gays? Before 1990, no American ever experienced the barbaric ritual of beheading a person. Read more

The victim is to blame -
In the Western media it is a general rule that any victims of Islamic violence brought it on themselves. Criticizing Islam a crime? Defending the rights of writers, journalists and artists to say, write and draw what they like has become a crime in the West. Read more

CAIR: There is no Islamic terror -
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sent out a newsletter with the subject line, "Creating America's War on Terror." The message is that the U.S. government is victimizing Muslim Americans under the guise of a made-up war on terrorism. Read more

Spain: Muslim kids must stay Muslim -
Spain has agreed that children adopted from Muslim nations by Christians will be raised inside the home of the Christians as Muslims. This is now the law in Spain as that nation submits to Sharia. Read more

Report From Washington - January 4, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray  

In this issue: Obama rejects "freedom of conscience" for military chaplains / NBC admits censorship of election news / Terror cleric link to 9-11 known by FBI for years / 113th Congress sworn in / 20% of House Members new / 14 new Senators / Al Gore sells TV network to Islamists, takes oil money / F-35's to Turkey and F-16's to Egypt / Egypt's Morsi previously called for war on Israel / Christian beheaded in Syria / Fatwa says rape only women over 14 in Syria / Muslims attack American Jew in Venice

The Presidency Obama refuses "freedom of conscience" for Chaplains - Upon signing the 2013 National Defense Authorization. These provisions were specifically inserted by Congress to protect chaplains who refuse to preform "same-sex" marriage. By his refusal to abide by this section of the law Obama is in essence saying he will force chaplains to preform "same-sex" marriages. Read more
NBC admits election news censorship -
Two days after the national election on November 6, Brian Williams -- anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News -- made a peculiar comment: "With the election now over, it is once again safe to talk about the economy and jobs, Now that it is not a campaign issue, it's back to reality," In other words, because the economy was the weakest part of the Obama reelection campaign we didn't talk about it much. Read more

Terror cleric link to 9-11 known - Anwar al-Awlaki was deeply involved in the 9-11 attacks and the FBI new it prior to his invitation to speak on "moderate" Islam at the Pentagon in 2002 according to investigators for Fox News. He booked earlier "test" flights for some of the hijackers. Despite this the Bush Administration and the FBI allowed him to be paraded around various media outlets and to speak at events at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill. Read more

Congress
113th Congress sworn in -
I was on Capitol Hill on Thursday, January 3rd as the 113th Congress was sworn in. Only families of the Members are allowed at the actual swearing, but I attended reception with some of those that were elected with the help of the PAC of which I am the chairman. My PAC helped elect socially conservative Senators Cruz (R-TX) and Deb Fischer (R-NE). Please note that note a single economic conservative candidate backed by Karl Rove's PAC won. Every candidate Rove backed that ran away from social issues lost.
House: One in five faces new - There are 82 new Members in the 435 seat House and 14 new Senators. On the House side almost 20% of the Members are new although one did previously serve back in the 1980's. There are also two empty seats because of resignations that occurred before the new 113th Congress even had a chance to convene. The only African-American in the Senate is a Republican. Everywhere I go conservatives champion "term limits" because Congressmen "stay forever." The reality is different: The average length of service for Representatives is currently 9.8 years (4.9 terms) and for Senators is 11.4 years (1.9 terms). List of 85 new Members
Religion and Culture
Al Gore takes oil money and helps Islamists -
Al Gore is helping the advance of radical Islam in the USA by selling his failing TV network for a huge profit to a radical Islamist network that prided itself in showing IED's killing Americans in Iraq. The Al Jazeera network is funded by the government of Qatar. Qatar is controlled by a "royal" family and has no freedom of speech, press or religion. Read more 
International
F-16's to Egypt and F-35's to Turkey -
I have previously reported that the United States will begin delivery to Egypt this month of advance F-16 fighters and the newest version of the Abrams tank. Our government also approved the sale of ultra-advanced F-35 to Turkey which has declared itself an enemy of Israel. Turkey will purchase a total of 116 of the aircraft to Israel's 55 with delivery through 2017.
Morsi called for war on Israel - So much for the "moderate" Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt. Recently found iTV interviews of Morsi show him saying in 2010 - "Either [you accept] the Zionists and everything they want, or else it is war," Morsi said, "This is what these occupiers of the land of Palestine know - these blood-suckers, who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs." Read more
Syria: Christian beheaded - A Christian man was beheaded and fed to hungry dogs by the Obama supported "rebels" in Syria who are in reality little more than Islamist bandits who pillage the countryside. Read more
Syria: Fatwa says rape OK - Three hundred thousand Christians forced from their homes so far by the jihadists in Syria. Hundreds of Christians killed and now Obama's Saudi buddies have issued a fatwa approving of rape to boost moral of fighters. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY
Obama increases lead -
According to a new Fox News poll, Barack Hussein Obama has increased his lead over Mitt Romney in the last 30 days. Obama now leads Romney by 9 points according to the poll. An associate of mine who operates a poll by cell phone, shows Obama ahead by only four points. In electoral votes Obama is up 370 to 145 according to most polls. With nearly 50% of Americans receiving government checks of some kind, Obama is going to be harder to beat with Romney concentrating just on economic issues. Mitt Romney's refusal to bring social issues into the process may lose him the election.

Romney digs hole deeper on social issues - Despite losing ground in the polls as he tries to run only on economic issues, Mitt Romney took time out to attack the Boy Scouts. Yes ... the Boy Scouts. His spokeswoman said on the issue that Romney still stands by his 1994 statement in which he said "I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation." Read more
Ads tell truth about Obama - The Religious Freedom Coalition has been conducting an aggressive campaign to stop the war on religious freedom being waged by the Obama Administration. During this critical year of decision the Religious Freedom Coalition will run advertisements in key newspapers asking Congress to curtail Barack Obama's secularist agenda of radically changing our nation. Learn more today

CONGRESS
Both Houses in recess -
The House will reconvene on Monday, September 10th with the first vote occurring after 6:30 PM. Although the media would like to portray any recess as a "vacation," that is far from the truth. Most congressmen work six days a week in their district offices, meeting with constituents. Each congressman has more than a quarter of a million people in his or her district, many of whom demand direct contact which they can't get when the congressman is in Washington, DC.

In defense of Michele Bachmann - On Wednesday, August 8th former Federal Prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy addressed a standing-room only crowd at the National Press Club's on Muslim Brotherhood influence operations in the United States. McCarthy presented the briefing as a response to attacks on the "National Security Five." These five members of Congress - Representatives Michele Bachmann (MN) Louie Gohmert (TX), Trent Franks (AZ), Lynn Montgomery (GA) and Tom Rooney (FL) - have asked the Inspectors General of federal departments to investigate evidence of Muslim Brotherhood influence operations within the U.S. government.

U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman honors martyred Olympic Jews - The music for Aly Raisman's gold medal winning floor routine at the Summer Olympics was chosen by her as a tribute to the Israeli athletes who died at the hands of Muslm terrorists during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. The music was based on the traditional Jewish song, Hava Nagila. "I am Jewish, that's why I wanted that floor music," Aly told the New York Post. "I wanted something the crowd could clap to, especially being here in London." Read more and see floor routine.

Cop punished for eating Chick-fil-A sandwich - A Dallas, Texas police officer is facing punishment for eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich in front of two openly lesbian officers who serve on the very politically correct Dallas police force. They claim he "stared" at them while eating the sandwich. Read more
Chick-fil-A is not alone - There are other outspoken Christian businesses. Since 1997, Hobby Lobby has placed, during certain holidays, full page newspaper ads that glorify the Lord and advocate Christian values. Ads appear each Christmas, Easter and even Independence Day.

Afghanistan: Three US troops killed by Afghan police chief -
The American media is reporting that a man "dressed as" an Afghan soldier killed three U.S. servicemen. This is a deception.

Egypt: Suicide bombing declared mainstream - Egyptian cleric Hashem Islam Ali Islam, a member of the Fatwa Committee of Al-Azhar, made extremely radical statements in an appearance on Al Aqsa TV on July 12, 2012.

Chairman’s Report for August 2, 2012

THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA AND OUR DWINDLING FREEDOMS – Every social conservative should read Friedrich von Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom. While the book is constantly quoted by economic conservatives such as Congressman Paul Ryan, and while Hayek was in fact an economist, the core of the book is about more than economics; it’s about how individual freedom is lost as governments consolidate power.
The central point of The Road to Serfdom is that it is impossible to have both central planning and individual freedoms. We can see this playing out today; for instance, a small business owned by a Roman Catholic family in Denver refused to buy the federally mandated health insurance covering birth control, the morning after pill and sterilization. The Obama Justice Department told the family that they could either provide the insurance as ordered by the government, or shut down the business. The case is still in the courts.

Then there is the ongoing saga of Chick-fil-A.

By the way of full disclosure, I have met with the founder of Chick-fil-A, S. Truett Cathy. His first name is actually Sam, but he prefers Truett. I met with him last year at the Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia on my way to speak at a youth facility in Pine Mountain supported by a Chick-fil-A foundation. I have been in many corporate headquarters in the last three decades, including that of News Corp. The Chick-fil-A headquarters is the only major corporate office I have ever been in that I can describe as happy. Every employee – hundreds of them – have a free lunch there every day. The company is about a lot more than profit.

The 91-year-old Truett Cathy is as sharp today as when he started the business. I was introduced to him as “Bill Murray” and he said, “You’re the son of that atheist who took prayer from the schools. I read your book back in 1962.” This man loves the Lord and that love has been handed down through four generations of his family.

Under the utopian, central planning system that Barack Obama wants to force upon America, this family and their business must be punished for openly honoring the Word of God.  When Truett’s son Don made the public statement that the family and business support “traditional marriage” the attack by Obama’s team began.

Rahm Emanuel, who ran President Barack Obama’s White House for two years as his Chief of Staff, has vowed to shut down any business in Chicago whose owners say they are Christians and who oppose homosexuality. He very pointedly said that Chick-fil-A would not get another business permit in Chicago. Rahm Emanuel is not just the mayor of Chicago; he has been a spokesman for the Barack Obama campaign and a close advisor to the President. The mayor stated that those who practice free speech will not be allowed to do business in his city.

Some say I exaggerate that Obama is conducting a war on religious freedom. What more proof is needed?  The advertising campaign to warn America of Obama’s plans is critically needed during this key year of decision.


OBAMA AD RUNNING IN VIRGINIA Since the last Chairman’s Report, our newspaper ads exposing Barack Obama as the most dangerous president ever to religious freedom have continued to run. The ads began in Florida and we have now expanded to North and South Carolina and Virginia. We are now investigating appropriate markets in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I would very much like to go back into Florida and run the ad in four newspapers we were forced to skip because of cost.

See full list of newspapers running our ad

Winter Haven is a huge retirement area with several mega-churches that would be helpful in pressuring Congress to act against the Obama agenda. The same is true of Bradenton where the very large Christian Retreat is located. But, as I said, the ads are expensive. About $10,000 more is needed for the Florida project. The four newspapers I want to go back to in Florida are

The Ledger – Winter Haven
Florida Today – Titusville, Melbourne
Bradenton Herald – Bradenton
Charlotte Sun – Arcadia, Wauchula

You may note that we ran our ad twice in the Black Mountain News in Black Mountain, North Carolina. This was done because several very large Christian summer camps are located there and people we want to reach rotate through that area. We may run the ad in Black Mountain again in August once or twice.

Please note that the first ad placed directly by a supporter of the Religious Freedom Coalition appeared in a Nebraska newspaper on July 3rd. If you live in a smaller community where there is little political commentary, you may be able to place the ad for some nominal cost. You may even have a small weekly newspaper in your area that we are not aware of, in which you can place one of the Obama ads. We can even help reformat the ad for your local newspaper if you will pay for the cost of the ad space.

To help place the ad, simply print off a copy from www.savingreligiousfreedom.org and give it to the ad department of your local newspaper. They can probably format the ad right then and there to a quarter, third or half page ad and give you the cost. If the newspaper needs us to format the ad they can call our Washington office at 202.543.0300.

We can make a difference in stopping Barack Obama’s attacks on religious freedom.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, OUR LORD AND PRAYER

Other than this Chairman’s Report I write a weekly update that appears at our Internet site at ReligiousFreedomCoalition.org. I also write numerous op-eds and other articles for several publications including newspapers. Many of my articles appear in World Net Daily which most people know as wnd.com. Just in July, I wrote three major articles for wnd.com including one on school prayer entitled Secularization does not ‘revitalize Christianity’.

For the most part I never reprint the articles I write for other publications in the Chairman’s Report. However, I’m making an exception this month. On my way back from the Middle East I wrote an article entitled Praying for Victory. The article was short, but to the point. Christians in the West, particularly evangelical Christians pray defensively while Muslims pray for our destruction. The article is below as it appeared at wnd.com and in other publications.

Praying for Victory
 
It was about a two years into the second Gulf War and things weren’t going too well. George W. Bush had made the fatal mistake of disbanding the Iraqi Army and police force, leaving the nation lawless. Islamist fighters, who were very happy that the secularist government of Iraq had been overthrown by the United States, flowed into Iraq to finish the job by creating a Sharia state.

It was 2003 and I had been invited to speak at a Texas church. At the opening of the service the pastor asked the congregation to pray for the protection of service members from the church who were in Iraq and Afghanistan. Suddenly I was hit with this thought: Why are we praying only defensive prayers, why are we not asking God to give our brave servicemen victory in the field?

I actually spoke that day on my experiences on 9-11. That fateful day I was on the 14th Street bridge crossing the Potomac River, when flight 77 was flown into the Pentagon by Islamists. I was trying to get a message out from nearly the first day, a warning that this was just the beginning of a hundred year’s war. However, with President George W. Bush singing “religion of peace” from the bully pulpit, few wanted to hear my message.

At the conclusion of the service I asked the pastor if he had ever led his congregation in prayer asking God to give our troops victory. He just sort of stared at me for a minute or so. Finally he simply said “no.” As we talked it was obvious he felt uncomfortable with the thought. The evangelical church had developed a message over the past few decades that Christ Jesus is only about peace and He came to comfort the sick, the grieving and to save the lost. Today, most in the evangelical church turn to Jesus only for personal matters, such as the health of a loved one, finding a better job, selling a house or bringing a lost child to Christ.

Over the years I have brought the subject up in various places, as our very well armed and educated troops in the field were beaten back again and again. Finally George W. Bush declared victory in Iraq where there was none. Obama pulled the troops out, leaving a wounded nation and people. The only real accomplishment of the second Iraqi war was the eradication of the Christian community in Iraq. The Islamists have raped Christian women, stolen Christian homes, murdered Christian men and blown up churches until 80% of the Christian population has fled. There is no democracy, and other than corrupt officials in the new government, no one in Iraq has benefited from our invasion.

Did anyone ever pray for our victory in Iraq or for our way of life to be shared there? Maybe, I just don’t know. I asked several army chaplains if they had ever led men in prayer for victory on the field of battle and the answer was no. The prayers were defensive, they were for protection. I continued to talk to church pastors, and one day asked my Sunday School class to pray for victory. For a few weeks the class did do that, but soon we were back to asking the Lord only for personal help with health or finances.

I wanted to start a campaign to get churches to pray for our troops to be victorious, but the suffering of Christians in the Middle East and my ministry there kept me away from any organized efforts. That is, until my latest trip to an area of conflict in the Middle East.
I must stop and thank God that the “rebels” I encountered on this trip had no idea who I was. Fortunately I was with members of the Muslim Brotherhood and under their protection. The Brotherhood had something to prove to me, which they did; however, it was not what they wanted to prove. I did learn a lot about the “fog of war”, as I met dozens of men who had no idea why they were fighting, other than for the glory of Allah. Some, I don’t think were even sure what nation they were in. What I did learn very well is how the Islamists pray.

Every sermon calls for the destruction of the enemies of Islam. Every prayer calls for victory of Islam in armed conflict. Every prayer calls for the destruction of the Jews first, their current enemy second, and finally America.

The difference was striking. While American Christians pray for better cars, the Islamists pray for the total and complete destruction of Christianity, democracy and the American way of life. While Christians here pray for the safety of a particular soldier who is from one of our churches, the Islamists pray for the death of every American soldier at the hands of an Islamist martyr. For the Islamists Christians ask God to “open the eyes of the unbelievers.” The eyes of the “unbelievers” are open, and looking down the sites of gun barrels at us.

During World War II virtually every church in the United Kingdom and the United States prayed every Sunday for an Allied victory. That was the last war in which we won a total victory. By the time of the Vietnam War it was politically incorrect to pray for victory, and victory never came. Praying for victory, even post 9-11 is still politically incorrect and America is still either losing wars or fighting to a standstill in decades long conflicts.

Straying from political correctness in the church I beg to ask the question: If we want to win a war, spiritual or otherwise, should we not be asking God for victory? If the answer is yes, pastors can find models for those victory prayers in Psalms authored by King David, among other note worthy places in the Bible. If, on the other hand, we do not want God’s intervention perhaps we should prepare ourselves to lose the existential battle against the Islamists.

In the article, I mentioned my trip to the Middle East and my encounter with the Muslim Brotherhood. I would very much like to give you all the details, but to do so would endanger lives. Mentioning locations can get people killed. Mentioning real names of people or showing their photos in public documents such as this one can get them killed. Oddly, conservative leaders here in Washington have decided to welcome the Muslim Brotherhood as the future. This is a grave mistake.

FDR'S D-DAY PRAYER -
Thursday, June 6th, marked the sixty-eighth anniversary of D-DAY, the invasion at Normandy. On June 6, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a prayer for the nation. The House of Representatives recently passed the World War II Memorial Prayer Act (H.R. 2070), introduced by Prayer Caucus Member Rep. Bill Johnson, which directs the Secretary of the Interior to install a plaque or an inscription of the prayer in the area of the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. Companion legislation has been introduced in the Senate (S.3078). President Roosevelt's prayer began:
"Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith." The contrast to Barack Obama is striking.Read full prayer here.

Culberson testified that he crafted the measure in response to religious censorship that occurred during veterans' burial services at the Houston National Cemetery in 2011. He said the measure would ensure an "absolute zone of privacy around every American that the government cannot penetrate-including the right to conduct a funeral in the way that you see fit between you and your God."
