Report From Washington - September 30, 2011

License to kill: Has Obama crossed the Rubicon / Obama surprise: He defends Christian in Iran / Congress supports religious liberty panel / Journalism school says 9-11 comparatively not that bad / The Tax Man's Jihad / The Nashville conference / Spelling error brings blasphemy charge / More evangelicals targeted in Iran / Muslims again attack in Thailand


PRESIDENCY
Terrorist Al-Awlaki CROSSING THE RUBICON - This week two very bad men, terrorists Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, were killed by missiles fired from a CIA operated Predator drone in Yemen. Both were natural born U.S citizens, which poses a question. What safeguards exist when the man setting the guidelines is the man issuing the death warrants? The answer of course is that there are none. Because they are U.S citizens, both men should have been tried for treason in abstensia before a military tribunal. The death sentence should have then been given to the Commander in Chief to carry out. A record would then exist to justify the executions. Rather than that process, we have one single sheet of paper signed by Barack Obama saying, "Kill these guys." The lack of visible process concerns me.
SHOCKER: OBAMA DEFENDS A CHRISTIAN PASTOR - After three years of overtly supporting radical Muslims in the Middle East, President Barack Obama has finally taken a stand in support of a persecuted Christian. This week he belatedly joined other world leaders in condemning the conviction and prescribed execution of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani who refused to renounce his faith before an Iranian Court.

THE CONGRESS
USCIRF AUTHORIZATION EXTENDED - For several weeks I have been urging readers to contact Senators to urge them to pass legislation, already passed in the House, to extend the life of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). On September 28th, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid finally relented and funding was extended. The USCIRF is a valuable tool to those promoting religious freedom because it issues official reports about the abuses of religious minorities in Communist and Islamic nations.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
JOURNALISM SCHOOL: 9-11 JIHAD NOT A BIG DEAL - Professors Lawrence Pintak and Stephen Franklin, in a journalism course at Poynter Institute, said that the almost 3,000 who died in the 9-11 Jihad attack represented a small percentage of the 15,000 people murdered in America that year, and that worldwide jihad accounts for "only" one percent of murders each year, and thus jihad should be downplayed in any news story. Wow, and I thought that mass murder was always big news. Read more
THE TAX MAN'S JIHAD - Grover Norquist frequently makes the news as "the conservative" who leads the fight against higher taxes. Seldom or never is it mentioned that he also supports "open borders," that he supported the gay group "Log Cabin Republicans" joining the Conservative Action Conference (which drove away social conservatives), or that he supports the Ground Zero mosque. Now Norguist is supporting a Muslim candidate for public office in Virginia who has changed his first name from Imad Afif to David. The candidate refers to"God" and supports the Ground Zero mosque. Some who talk to him think he is a Christian, but his Middle East backers know he is a Muslim. Who is "David" Ramadan and why does Grover Norguist support him? Read more
NEW: Chairman's Report from Washington, DC for September 22, 2011. IN THIS ISSUE: New York officials try to dampen 9-11 freedom rally / William J. Murray speaks at the 9-11 rally / What is the real reason to remember the 9-11 jihad attack on America? / What Obama does not understand about the Islamists


THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

INTERNATIONAL 
SPELLING ERROR BRINGS BLASPHEMY CHARGE - Abbottabad (AsiaNews) - A spelling error has led to an accusation of blasphemy, and to serious consequences for a 10-year-old Christian girl and her family in Abbottabad. Faryal Bhatti, the daughter of a nurse named Sarafeen Bhatti, is a student at Colony High School, Havelian POF. On September 22, during an examination she misspelled a word in Urdu, putting the full top in the wrong place. Thus the word, referring to the prophet Muhammad, was transformed from "poem of praise" (naat) to "curse (lanaat). She has been expelled from school and her mother has lost her job as a nurse. (NOTE: This is the city in which Usama bin Laden was found and killed) Read more  
IRAN TARGETING EVANGELICALS - Iranian police have been targeting EvangelicaIism according to an AINA report: In December 2010 and January 2011, security forces arrested about 70 Christians reportedly affiliated with evangelical churches. On July 18, 2010, security forces had arrested 15 Christians in Mashad as they were leaving for a meeting with fellow members in the city of Bojnourd. Authorities rarely charge evangelical Christians with apostasy, and instead rely on more traditional charges such as "acting against the national security," "propaganda against the regime," or "insulting Islamic sanctities." Christian groups claim that authorities have arrested more than 250 Christians throughout Iran between June 2010 and February 2011. Read more
MORE MUSLIM TERROR IN THAILAND -
Muslim insurgents disguised as paramilitary rangers attacked troops protecting a school in southern Thailand on Wednesday, killing four soldiers and wounding two more, police said. A 6-year-old boy was shot in the stomach during the assault. A wave of violence has hit the Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces of mostly Buddhist Thailand since an Islamist insurgency erupted in 2004. Government soldiers are often designated to accompany teachers traveling to and from schools in region, as well as monks collecting alms. Read more

Report From Washington - June 10, 2011

Secretary Gates says NATO era over / Obama's failed Iran policy / Rep. Weiner's Jewish-Muslim Issues / Recess and almost recess / Minneapolis Somali suicide bomber / Another Christian martyr every five minutes / Asia Bibi still wrongly jailed


PRESIDENCY 
GATES SAYS NATO ERA OVER - When your alliance crumbles, who are your allies? In his final days as Secretary of Defense under Barack Obama, Robert Gates made it very clear that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was failing. Speaking of Libya he said, "The mightiest military alliance in history is only 11 weeks into an operation against a poorly armed regime in a sparsely populated country, yet many allies are beginning to run short of munitions, requiring the U.S., once more, to make up the difference." Gates said most nations in the alliance do not meet the funding or manpower requirements and that he doubts Congress, facing escalating debt, will be willing to continue to be the backbone of NATO.  
OBAMA'S FAILED IRAN POLICY - A Rand Corp. researcher, Dr. Gregory Jones, released a report stating that Iran will have sufficient nuclear material to build a 40 kiloton bomb within 8 weeks. His research states that the world has gone past the point that would allow Iran's nuclear program to be stopped with airstrikes and only a costly invasion and military occupation would work at this point. When Barack Obama moved into the White House there was still an opportunity to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear nation; however, he decided on "engaging" the totalitarian nation in talks. Combining this nuclear development with NATO's poor performance against Libya and probably failure as an alliance, nearly assures Iran emerging as a world power.


THE CONGRESS
Anthony Weiner and wife Huma WEINER'S JEWISH MUSLIM ISSUES - There is a death sentence under sharia law against any non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman. Congressman Anthony Weiner is married to Huma Abedin, a Muslim woman who is a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Her parents were devout Muslims who chose Saudi Arabia as their home, and her father was an Islamic scholar before his death. It seems that Congressman Wiener may have bigger problems than sending x-rated twits to strange women, as he has dishonored a Muslim family. Read more
RECESS AND SORT OF RECESS - The House was in recess this week, but the Senate continued to "work." Under the leadership of Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Senate conducts virtually no real business. The lone vote this week upheld a reduction in credit and debit card "swipe" fees. Wal-Mart and other major retailers wanted a reduction from about 44 cents to 12 cents a swipe, saying they would reduce their prices to customers. I certainly look forward to the 32 cent reduction in my overall bill the next time I grocery shop. What a joke! This is the government picking winners and losers yet again, as in GM and Chrysler. Profits were taken from banks and given to big box stores and consumers will never see a dime of benefit.
 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
MINNEAPOLIS SOMALI SUICIDE BOMBER - A Muslim Somali woman living in Minnesota has identified her stepson as the suicide bomber who killed peace keepers in Somalia. Farah Mohamed Beledi died in the blast. The woman, looking at a photograph of the bomber this week said through an interpreter: "It is him." The Bush and Obama Administrations have moved tens of thousands of Somali Muslims to Minnesota since 9-11. Many work in the airline industry cleaning aircraft, since their illiteracy rate is high and most do not speak English. A large number of Somali men from Minnesota have "disappeared" in the last year to practice jihad. The FBI, who thought the bomber was another Minnesota man, has since confirmed Beledi as the bomber.

INTERNATIONAL 
EVERY FIVE MINUTES A CHRISTIAN IS MARTYRED - Every year 105,000 Christians are killed because of their faith. This shocking figure was disclosed by Italian sociologist Massimo Introvigne, representative of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) in a report titled "Combating Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians", at the International Conference on Inter-religious dialogue between Christians, Jews and Muslims, sponsored by the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union (EU) in Gödöllo, near Budapest. "Every five minutes", Introvigne said in his speech, "a Christian is killed for his faith." Read more  
SHARIA FOR EGYPT? - On May 28, 2011, the Egyptian daily Al-Yawm Al-Sabi published an article by Mamdouh Isma'il, an attorney for Egyptian Islamists and former jihad activist, titled "The People Want an Islamic Egypt." In the article, Isma'il called on Egyptians to turn out en masse for demonstrations demanding the establishment of an Islamic state in Egypt. Read more
RELEASE ASIA BIBI NOW - Pakistani Christians are demanding the release of Asia Bibi, mother of five, who has been falsely accused on blasphemy and jailed for nearly two years. Blasphemy laws in Pakistan are used to blackmail Christians and steal their homes and land. This is just one more outrage. More at Pakistan Christian Post
