The Presidency
Obama admits Muslim victim of terror to USA, but not Christians - The non-profit group Tuesday's Children invited four victims of terror to a summer camp in the USA. Of the four Nigerian teenagers who applied to the U.S. embassy for visas at the behest of Tuesday's Children, the embassy denied visa requests for the three who are Christian but accepted the one who is Muslim. Read more
Petition to Congress: Allow Christian terror victims to come to camp in USA - A full investigation must be made by both the House and Senate as to why three Christian kids who were victims of terror were denied visas for a summer camp, while the one Muslim on the same application was approved. Send a free fax to your congressman demanding an investigation.
Obama's Arab Spring causes persecution - A Pew Research Center study has found that since the beginning of the so-called "Arab Spring" in 2010 - engineered by Barack Hussein Obama - religious persecution against Christians has increased throughout the Middle East. Read more
Obama spy program on churches OK, but not on mosques - The Washington Examiner has published a two-part expose on Obama's spying program in American churches, looking for those who have "anti-government" opinions. While this spy program is going on, targeting conservative Christians, Obama has put spying in mosques off limits. Read more
Congress
Senators move to block aid to Syria jihadists - A bipartisan group of senators has introduced legislation to block the U.S. from escalating its involvement in the Syrian civil war, as concerns mount on Capitol Hill over the Obama administration's plan to directly arm rebels. Senators Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), Tom Udall (D-NM) and Chris Murphy (D-CN) introduced the bill Thursday to prohibit the Defense Department and intelligence agencies from funding operations in Syria. Read more
Congressmen and Senators want military religious liberty protections - President Obama is objecting to an amendment proposed by Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) and amendments by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT). Fleming's amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act would expand protection of the rights of conscience to members of the Armed Forces and to Chaplains. Read more
Religion and Culture
Being a Christian worse than being a murderer? - What then does it mean when the Koran says that "fitnah is worse than killing"? According to Ibn Kathir, to disbelieve in Allah is to be guilty of the crime of shirk or, as he puts it, "committing disbelief." Shirk, he says, is fitnah, the crime worse than killing. Just being a non-Muslim - a Christian, a Jew or a pagan - is worse than murder, Dr. mark Durie explains in this extraordinary article. 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. 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.

Nigeria: Muslims brag about killing kids - The Muslim terror group Boko Haram issued a statement bragging about the murders of nine young students at their school for the "crime" of helping the Nigerian army.

Syria: At least 300 Western jihadists held - Hundreds of Western jihadists from more than a dozen nations including the United States, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and even Sweden have died in Syria fighting the secular government. The Syrian government has now revealed that it is also holding about 300 Western jihadists, including Americans, as prisoners..
Syria: UN says "rebels" used poison gas - A United Nations commission of inquiry into the use of Sarin by Syrian terrorists is led by Carla Del Ponte. She said her investigators "have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals, and, according to their report - which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of Sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated. This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities." Read more

The Presidency
Obama's Army: Catholics and Evangelicals are extremists - A U.S. Army training instructor listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al-Qaeda and Hamas, during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania, Fox News has learned. Read more 
Obama silent on Islamist killings - A Pakistani grocer running on a secularist party ticket has been shot dead in a drive-by killing in the southern city of Hyderabad. No comment from President Obama. There was also no comment from him on the killings of Coptic Christians in Egypt or the 80 Christians killed on Easter in Nigeria. It seems that any killings of Christians or secularists by Muslims will not be criticized by this White House.
Obama Spending: Economics is not normally the subject of this update, but I was stunned to learn that in 2010 the net spending at all levels of government - including Federal, State and municipal - amounted to $5.94 trillion. Divided among the 118,682,000 households in the United States, that comes to $50,074 per household. The median household income in 2010 was $49,445. This means that government spends more per family than a family on average earns. Read more

Report From Washington - March 22, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray

In this issue: Obama in Israel - why now? / Obama to Israelis: Pretend you're Palestinians / Obama and the great green con / No tax dollars for jihadists / Jewish Senator wants jihadist state in Syria / Is U.S foreign aid a "jizya? / Hamas supporter to head Syrian rebels / Tenth anniversary of Iraq war - 20 bombings / More Christian kids murdered in Nigeria / "Moderate" Indonesia to tear down church \ Join me in fact finding trip to Israel.

The Presidency
Why Israel, why now? - That is the question of many professional Middle Eastern experts as they watch President Obama's trip to Israel unfold. He and Prime Minister Netanyahu seem to be lavishing praise on each other, although it is widley known the two men detest each other. My guess: Obama will promise future support for Israel in return for putting the Muslim Brotherhood in charge not only in Syria but in Jordan as well.
Obama to Israeli youth -Pretend you are Palestinians - These were Obama's exact words to Israeli college students: ""Put yourself in their shoes - look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of her own, and lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements of her parents every single day." Note that he called the Israel Army presence in Samaria "foreign."
Great Green Con - Global warming is not normally an issue for this update, but it sure is an issue for President Barack Obama who wants to spend trillions of taxpayers dollars to save the planet from getting warmer - OOPS - there seems to be a problem. The Earth is not warming as predicted by the gloomsters. Read more
Congress
Jewish Senator supports jihadists in Syria - Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, who is Jewish, has joined Senator John McCain in calling on Obama to bomb airports in Syria to help establish yet another Islamist state on the border of Israel. Strangely, the two Senators used a chemical attack by the Islamists on Syrian government troops as a reason to bomb the Syrian government troops.
Conservative Senators offer Pro-life legislation - Florida Senator Marco Rubio is offering the "Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act." This will require that an abortionist, before performing an abortion on a minor from another state, must first notify one parent, unless the minor is the victim of sexual abuse or faces a life-endangering emergency. Other pro-life amendments to budget bills were offered by Senators Mike Lee and David Vitter. 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. The petition comes at a time the Obama Administration is furnishing CIA help 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.
Using the Fax Congress system - The new system we are using to fax congressmen works, it's free, and it really helps me when I call congressional offices. E-mail addresses are NOT collected unless a box is checked for this weekly update from the Hill. I have received complaints that the system has too many steps and asks for too much information ... We must guard against sending anonymous faxes to congressmen. We must be able to prove that the fax you send is from a real person in his district. If we don't have the safeguards in place the faxes go in the trash. The information collected is confidential and not sold.

Religion and Culture
Is US foreign aid to Egypt a "jizya?" - In sharia law, jizya refers either to tribute paid by non-Muslim nations to ward off jihad attack, or to a head tax paid by conquered non-Muslim adult males living under Islamic conditions. Islamic scholar Dr. Mark Durie asks if the current foreign aid to Islamic nations is not in fact a payment of tribute or jizya. Read more
Lesbian parenthood and drinking - The American Pediatric Society made a statement approving of same-sex marriage saying the outcome for children is no different than for those raised in normal homes. Meanwhile the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $2.7 million to study why lesbians are at a higher "risk for hazardous drinking." This follows another study to learn why most lesbians are obese. Dysfunctional is dysfunctional, and same-sex relationships are as dysfunctional as hazardous drinking and eating.

In this issue: Obama "not involved" during Benghazi attack / Obama's new Egypt to try children for "insulting Islam" / Bachmann was right about Islamists in Administration / Karl Rove vs. Conservatives / Islamic America by 2050? / Apostasy killings show Islam's weakness / Belgium: Assassination attempt on Islam critic / Nigeria: Muslims kill nine health workers.
The Presidency
Obama "not involved" during Benghazi attack - The White House told the public that President Obama was in touch and intently watching the situation in Benghazi, Libya as our Ambassador and three others died. But in sworn testimony this week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that Obama was absent on the evening of September 11, 2012. Panetta told Congress the Commander-in-Chief left everything, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the besieged Americans, "up to us." Read more
Obama's Egypt to try children for "insulting Islam" - Barack Hussein Obama and his European counterparts backed the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of formerly secular nations in the Middle East, including Egypt. The result is horror for the Christian communities. The trial of two Christian children for "insulting Islam" is just one example. The children, Nabil Naji Rizq and Mina Atallah are just 10 and 9 years old, and are accused of insulting the Koran because a Muslim man saw them playing in rubbish that he claimed included pages from the Koran. Read more
Congress
Bachmann was right about Islamists in Administration - Congresswoman Michele Bachmann provoked the rage of the far left and their Islamist allies in America last year when she suggested that the Obama Administration was infiltrated by Islamists. Democrats on the radical left worked furiously to remove her from the House Intelligence Committee. Now, an Egyptian publication has named six Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators in the Obama Administration, including Mohammed Elibiary who sits on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Read more
Karl Rove vs. Conservatives - Karl Rove has begun a campaign against conservatives in the GOP with the formation of the Conservative Victory Project, whose purpose is to knock out social conservatives and Tea Party candidates in 2014 primaries. He believes the GOP lost ground in 2012 because of pro-life and Tea Party candidates. Reality: All five of the economic conservatives running for Senate in 2012 who were supported by Rove's PAC lost. In contrast, the social conservative PAC of which I am chairman had three winning Senate candidates out of the five we supported. All the candidates we supported were outspoken social conservatives.

In this issue: More Christians killed by Obama's "rebels" / Obama supports Muslim oppression / Grover Norquist and the Congress / Islam film maker unrepentant / Carnival's gay drag queen cruise / Sharia Court condemns American to death / More dead Christians in Syria thanks to Obama / Islamists from 19 countries have been killed fighting the secular government of Syria / More churches bombed in Nigeria / Muslims kill more Christians

The Presidency
More Christians killed by Obama's "rebels" - The final death toll is not yet in from a series of car bombs and suicide bombers who attacked the Christian neighborhoods of Damascus and the Christian town of Jaramana. The death toll as of late Thursday was 54, although rescue workers were still digging in the rubble. There has been no condemnation of the attacks on civilians by President Obama or anyone associated with the Administration. Senator John McCain who supports Barack Obama's Islamist "rebels" also refused to issue a condemnation of the murder of Christians in Syria. Read more
Obama supports Muslim oppression - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi issued a degree forbidding courts to rule against virtually anything he does in what can only be described as assuming dictatorial powers. Although Christians and secularists are demonstrating in the streets of Cairo, the Obama Administration stands firmly with Morsi and has no criticism of his power grab. Meanwhile Morsi's organization, the Muslim Brotherhood continues call for jihad against Israel and the killing of Jews.
Congress
Grover Norquist and the Congress - Before I discuss Grover Norquist's tax pledge, I wish to describe the man: Grover has a full beard (like all observant Muslims) and is married to a Palestinian Muslim woman. Sometimes he claims to be a Christian. He was married to his Muslim wife by a Jewish rabbi in violation of the Torah. He has two adopted daughters who were given both Christian and Muslim names. Politically he is driven by the Libertarian concept of the worship of money. He holds social Darwinist Ayn Rand in the highest of esteem. It was Grover Norquist who brought Muslims into the highest levels of the Bush White House and continues to support members of the Muslim Brotherhood in establishing "good will." He is of course a fighter against "Islamaphobia," and he stated that Islam "is completely consistent with the U.S. Constitution and a free and open society." Norguist also brought a homosexual PAC in as a sponosr of the Conservative Political Action Conference causing many social conservative groups to leave. Yes, this is the nut case that the entire Republican establishment has taken orders from for the last twenty years.

The "tax pledge" is not what most Americans think it is. It is, and always has been, a tool to keep tax loopholes for giant corporations -- the kind of loopholes that allowed General Electric to earn billions in profits and pay no taxes at all. (The small business guy can't afford a full time team of high priced tax lawyers, so too bad for him.) According to Grover Norquist, closing tax loopholes or ending any taxpayer subsidies to industries is a tax increase. The "tax pledge" is and has always been a "screw the small tax payer and small businessman pledge" to keep taxes low for big industries and special interest groups.

Some Republicans now want to LOWER the tax rates for all of us and close the loopholes and stop the subsidy payments to various industries. According to Grover Norguist and Fox News commentators such as Shawn Hannity, that is a tax increase. Even a flat tax is a "tax increase" because while most would pay less, some would pay more. According to Norquist if 99% of workers have their taxes lowered but just 1% have to pay more because of closed loopholes, it is a tax increase and any congressman or Senator who votes for a plan like it is in "violation" of the Norguist tax pledge. Advice to the GOP: Hide this guy in a closet and fix the broken tax code. The tax code Norquist is protecting is now estimated to be as much as 75,000 pages. The core law, without regulations, is twice the length of the Bible. We need to dump this monster tax code, not protect it, and we need to institute a simple tax structure. What we have now is a system in which two individuals can earn the same amount of money, but one pays nothing in tax and the other hands over one-third to the government. That has to stop.
Religion and Culture Islam film maker unrepentant - The Egyptian-born Coptic Christian who made the anti-Islam film that sparked protests across the Muslim world says he has no regrets. In a New York Times interview, Mark Basseley Youssef said he wanted to reveal "the actual truth" about Mohammad and raise awareness of the violence committed "under the sign of Allah." Read more
Carnival's gay drag queen cruise - Gerry Cahill, Carnival's CEO, said in a letter that was posted on the cruise line's Facebook page that "anyone who wishes to dress in drag may do so." He has now changed his mind about the gay themed cruise because many families who are not queer will be on the same ship. Cahill is offering a refund to any queer who is offended by not being allowed to dress in drag. I am curious as to what Cahill would do if a Muslim "themed" group was also on board.Read more

Eight, including Americans, to die for free speech? - The headlines have say that several Coptic Christians living in the USA have been sentenced to death for blasphemy by an Egyptian court for being associated with the Innocence of Muslim film. Actually, some of those are American citizens, including pastor Terry Jones in Florida. The White House has not condemned the outrage against free speech and neither has any member of Congress on either side of the aisle. Read more.

In this issue: Obama's HAMAS man / Obama says don't "slander" Islam / PAC attacks Obama as "Apologizer-in-Chief / Lying to be reelected / Congress adjourns today / Congress, Al-Qaeda and forest fires / Calling a terrorist a savage is "uncivilized" / Janet Jackson converts to Islam to marry billionaire / Jordanian King dissolves parliament in face of Muslim Brotherhood unrest / More Christian students killed in Nigeria / Genocide of minorities in Pakistan / Egyptians told to kill Christians where you can find them

The Presidency 

Obama's HAMAS man - The Obama Administration has numerous members of the Muslim Brotherhood working in various posts. Several have been placed in key positions in the State Department and Department of Defense. This past week Salam al-Marayati, the founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), was chosen to represent the United States government at the OSCE in Warsaw. In the past he has claimed Israel had a role in the 9-11 attacks. Read more

Obama: Don't slander Islam - Diana West in an op-ed for Townhall looked deeper into Obama's comment at the United Nations criticizing those who "slander" Islam. That "slander" includes any statement that reflects badly on Islam, including reporting terrorists attacks on Christians, Buddhists and Hindus by Muslims. Read more

Lying to be reelected - I don't normally report on economic issues in this update, but I was so struck by the manipulation of the jobs numbers this morning that I have to comment. According to the Obama Administration over 800,000 people entered the job market and only 114,000 found jobs but the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1.% to 7.8% How can five times as many people enter the job market than there are jobs created -- and the unemployment rate goes down? The numbers simply don't work.
PAC ads say Obama favors Islam - Government Is Not God-PAC is now running ads exposing the various ways Barack Obama has displayed either weakness or favoritism toward the Islamic agenda. The PAC ads refer to Obama as Apologizer-in-Chief. See ads here

Congress 

Congress adjourns for election - On the House side there will be no votes after 3:00 PM today and the Congress will not return until after the November 6th election. On the Senate side, nothing much ever happens anyway under the leadership of Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) The Senate has not even passed a budget in over three years, instead financing the government with annual "omnibus" bills.

Congress and the forest fires - For several years I have heard rumors on Capitol Hill that congressmen were being secretly briefed on "wild fires" being started in the United States by radical Muslims associated with groups such as Al-Qaeda. As a result, the Russian secret service blaming Al-Qaeda for fires this summer in Europe is no surprise. Read more

Religion and Culture  

Calling a terrorist a savage is "uncivilized" - Muslim terrorists killed more than thirty Christian students in Nigeria this past week but the murders received little notice in the Western media, which was busy condemning a Youtube clip that tells the truth about Islam. A Wall Street Journal writer noted the media condemnation of ads that Pamela Geller had placed in the New York subway calling terrorists savages, and the writer made this observation: "Call a Terrorist a 'Savage'? How Uncivilized"

Janet Jackson converts to Islam - Janet Jackson plans to marry Muslim billionaire Wissam Al Mana in Doha, Qatar next year in a Muslim ceremony. Turkish author, Adnan Oktar (aka Harun Yahya), has told the media that 46-year-old Janet Jackson has converted to Islam. (Her brother Michael Jackson also converted to Islam). Questions: What happens to all the lewd music videos she starred in? Does she wear a burka to dance in the future?

New Chairman's Report -Now available, the October 4th, 2012 edition of William J. Murray's Chairman's' Report.

Constitution or Sharia DVD - This is the complete set of DVD's from the November 11, 2011 Constitution or Sharia conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

International 

JORDAN: King dissolves Parliament - King Abdullah II dissolved parliament and called early elections on Thursday, ahead of a major public demonstration planned by Islamists. The Muslim Brotherhood went ahead with its planned rally in central Amman today, with an estimated 50,000 supporters. The King appoints over half of the parliament now. The Muslim Brotherhood is demanding that all seats be filled by popular vote -- which would put them in power, as they are in Egypt. Christians, who now hold many seats in the government, would probably be excluded from a Muslim Brotherhood government. Donate now to help Christians in Jordan.
NIGERIA: Even MORE Christian students killed - No fewer than 40 students of the Adamawa State University in Mubi were killed by Muslim terrorists this past week -- 24 were shot and 16 had their throats cut. (This is a separate incident from the more than 30 individual shootings and killings of Christian students in Northern Nigeria over the past week). The Boko Haram sometimes kill Muslim students as well, because they are receiving a "Western education." So many Christians are murdered in Nigeria by Muslims each week that it is very difficult to differentiate the various news stories in African and Asian newspapers. The murders for the most part go unreported in the United States, as Muslims might be offended if it is noted that the killers were Muslims.
PAKISTAN: Put this nation on genocide list - There are calls to put Pakistan on a Genocide Watch list, amid mounting persecution of its religious minorities, says a lengthy report worth the read. Read more
EGYPT: Kill Christians where you can find them - The nation's jihad organizations dropped leaflets calling on Muslims to kill Christians wherever they found them. Islamists in the Constituent Assembly demanded that the Coptic Church's funds be placed under state financial control. Read more

Report From Washington - August 3, 2012

ISRAEL FACT FINDING MISSION - A once in a lifetime mission led by William J. Murray, William Federer and Frank Gaffney, all three experts on Israel and Islamic affairs. Not a standard "tour," the mission includes visits to settlements and military bases plus evening panels. Read more

IN THIS ISSUE: Will Romney move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem? / White House not sure where capital of Israel is / Obama executive order to help blacks only get into college / 60% leave Conservative party in UK over same-sex approval / Congressional resolution on Syrian Christians / Newt Gingrich defends Michele Bachmann / Attacks on Chick-fil-a backfire / Christians arming themselves in Syria / More attacks on Christians in Nigeria

THE PRESIDENCY 

Move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem? - Palestinian officials are fuming after Mitt Romney stated that Jerusalem is Israel's capital. Romney implied, but did not state, that he would follow the law and move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem if elected. Barack Obama has not only refused to honor the law passed by Congress to move the Embassy, but the U.S Consulate now in Jerusalem conducts business in Arabic, not Hebrew.
Same-sex marriage and conservatives - What happens if the Republican Party moves away from endorsing "traditional marriage" in favor of an "its all about the economy approach?" In the U.K. the conservative party went that route, and has lost 60% of its paid membership since Prime Minister David Cameron announced he would forge ahead and endorse "same-sex marriage." Even Barack Obama is facing a backlash from Black ministers because of his endorsement of sodomy -- and he is a left-winger.

Obama executive order to help blacks only - This week Obama signed an executive order, an excerpt of which states the goal of "increasing college access and success for African American students and providing support to help ensure that a greater percentage of African Americans complete college and contribute to the goal of having America again lead the world in the proportion of adults who are college graduates by 2020." But the goal is not "every American". The goal is to force whites, Hispanics and Asians out of entrance slots into colleges. This same executive order would bar public schools from expelling more blacks from school than the percentage of their population in the school, regardless of the offense. is this racist? of course. Read more

CONGRESS 

Resolution on Syrian Christians - Congressman Bilirakas (R-FL) who is the co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Caucus has entered a resolution calling for the protection of the "religious minorities" in Syria in light of the continued growing presence of Al-Qaeda growth in that nation. His resolution (H.Res. 763) comes at a time when more and more congressmen and Senators are being alerted to the truth about the nature of the Islamist uprising in Syria. Syria will become another Iran! Read more
Michele Bachmann defended by Newt Gingrich - Newt Staunchly Defends Bachmann and other Members of Congress on their astute observations about the Muslim Brotherhood influence peddling in Washington and its infiltration into the State Department. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

Chick-fil-A Day - Congratulations go to Gov. Mike Huckabee for his efforts in organizing a Chick-fil-A appreciation day on Wednesday. Gov. Huckabee had over 25 million visits to his Internet site to get details. At many Chick-fil-A stores, people had to wait more than an hour to get a sandwich. To show their "tolerance" , McDonald's is handing out free chicken sandwich vouchers to homosexuals who plan to demonstrate against Chick-fil-A's pro traditional stance today.
Chick-fil-A protest backfires - Adam Smith, who posted an online video of himself going through a Chick-fil-A drive-thru and ordering only the free water, was canned from his gig as chief financial officer of Vante, a Tucson medical manufacturing company, after the video made the rounds. Read more

INTERNATIONAL 

Christians arming themselves in Syria - As evidence mounts that foreign Islamists are fighting alongside Syria's increasingly radicalized rebels, Christians in Aleppo and elsewhere are taking up arms, often supplied by the regime. "We saw what happened to the Christians in Iraq," Abu George, a Christian resident of Aleppo's Aziza district told GlobalPost. "What is going on in Aleppo is not a popular revolution for democracy and freedom. The fighters of the so-called Free Syrian Army are radical Sunnis who want to establish an Islamic state. Read more
More attacks in Nigeria - Over 1, 000 worshipers fled from what could have been a massive bomb attack at a Nigerian church on Wednesday. The bomb was set in the church during the evening service but failed to detonate. The police bomb squad defused the bomb, describing it as "foreign-made and capable of bringing down not only the church but surrounding buildings as well." Read more The first week of August, more than 100 Christians were killed in attacks including a Nigerian senator.
Syrian Christians need help - The Religious Freedom Coalition operates co-operative missions in Amman, Jordan which are assisting Syrian Christians. Medical and other supplies have been moved to Damascus to assist Christians in need because of the brutal attacks upon them by Islamist rebels.
