The Presidency 

Obama's Prophet - To non Christians Jesus is simply Jesus, he is not the Savior. To non Muslims Mohamed is simply Mohammed, he is not the Prophet. Only Christians call Jesus "the Savior" and only Muslims call Mohammed "the Prophet." These were President Barack Hussein Obama's words at the United Nations this week: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." In the next sentence he referred to Jesus Christ without using the term Savior. Many found this very odd, particularly in light of the United States backing a UN resolution supporting blasphemy laws, a resolution all previous American administrations have opposed.

Obama ordered arrest of film maker - Federal authorities have jailed without bail the individual who made the anti-Islam film clip that Obama and his Administration falsely claimed caused the murder of one of our ambassadors. Federal authorities claim the man was arrested not for the video, but for violating his parole in a bank fraud case dating back to the year 2000. If the arrest was not because of the video, why did prosecutors in demanding he be held without bail, use language nearly identical to Obama's concerning the film clip. The Wall Street Journal has called Mr. Nakoula's jailing a First Amendment affront. Read more
Congress
Resolution Reaffirming Importance of Faith and Supporting Free Exercise of Religion - Rep. Stephen Fincher, a Member of the Prayer Caucus, recently introduced H.Res.789 to reaffirm the importance of faith in the lives of Americans and to support the free exercise of religion. The measure recognizes the important role that Judeo-Christian principles played in the development of our nation, and rejects efforts to remove religious faith from the public square.

Group Letter on Religious Freedom - The Religious Freedom Coalition and numerous other groups wrote a group letter to Congressman Robert E. Andrews (D-NJ) asking for an apology and for a clarification of his position on the NLRB's violations of the First Amendment and harassment of religious educators. Read more.

Senate candidate arrest record - Congressman Todd Akin, who is running for the Senate in Missouri, was arrested 25 years ago, just as his Democrat opponent claims. However, his arrest record is getting him more support not less. When a left wing reporter asked him if he had ever been arrested he proudly responded, "Yeah, well, certainly. Probably about 25 years ago or so I was involved in some peaceful protests. As I've made very clear I don't apologize for being pro-life. I stand up for the things I believe in."
Religion and Culture
Bloomberg has 275 sq ft for you! - Mayor Bloomberg, who has just banned anything larger than a 16 oz drink at a restaurant, now wants people to live in a 275 square foot apartment, an area half the size of a subway car. He says single people need the apartments in New York and they will be cheap at $2,000 a month. Mayor Bloomberg's current mansion, which is just one of eleven homes he owns, including one in Bermuda, is reportedly 41 times larger than the proposed apartments. Read more

International
UN chief Ban Ki-moon wants to ban free speech - Shortly after President Barack Obama declared at the United Nations that "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam," the Secretary General took to the podium to denounce freedom of speech. In remarks clearly designed to back Islamic blasphemy laws Secretary Ban made this remark about freedom of speech: " When some people use this freedom of expression to provoke or humiliate some others' values and beliefs, then this cannot be protected in such a way." We pay this jerk's excessive salary with taxpayer dollars. Read more

Sweden: Jewish Center bombed - On Friday, the Jewish Center in Malmo, Sweden was bombed. Malmo Jews say they are routinely harassed in the city of 300,000 residents, which has a large immigrant community from the Middle East. Earlier this year, a rabbi was physically assaulted and in 2010, a group of Jews were attacked by Swedish Muslims during a peaceful protest in support of Israel. Read more
Spain: Pope must apologize for Christians freeing Spain from Muslim invaders - A communique from the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) - The "moderate" scholars loved by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton declared that the Pope must apologize for the Christian victory over the blood thirsty Islamic invaders who enslaved Spain for hundreds of years. Read more
Morocco: Force Arabic on European schools - The Moroccan minister Abdellatif Mâazouz is pressing governments in Europe to make the teaching of Arabic a standard part of the European school curriculum. Morocco is one of those "moderate" Islamic nations that liberals love to point to.
Australia ; Eight year old girl calls for jihad - eight-year-old Ruqaya yesterday was put on stage at a congress of Islamic fundamendalists in Sydney to espouse her love for jihad. Addressing a 600-strong crowd at the Australian chapter of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bankstown in the city's west, the young girl urged all Muslim youth to fight for the restoration of the Islamic caliphate, a single global government for all Muslims established under strict sharia law.

UK: Video of UK Muslims: "Bomb England", "Free Palestine" and "White People Die In Hell." See the clip recorded by a well know BBC broadcaster, probably without BBC permission.

PRESIDENCY 

ARAB SPRING OR ARAB FALL - It was 1979 and President Jimmy Carter had just forced the Shah of Iran to flee into exile. The headlines read: "Shah out, democracy comes to Iran." In 1991 the Soviet backed Communist government of Afghanistan falls to the Islamic rebels supported by the United States. The headlines read: "Communists out, democracy comes to Afghanistan." Now in 2011 the Islamist rebels supported by the President Barack Obama kill Libyan dictator Qaddafi: The headlines read: Qaddafi dead: democracy comes to Libya. Enough said  
OBAMA DEFENDS UGANDA?- Uganda has a long history of terror and bloodshed. Muslim dictator Idi Amin was in control when Israeli special forces had to attack the Entebbe airport to release a plane load of hostages. Eventually the Muslim dictator was exiled to Libya. Now President Obama has sent troops to fight against the "Lord's Resistance Army." Make no mistake, the LRA does not represent mainstream Christian faith, but why is President Obama involving us in a second African war this year? Did he not say he was elected to bring troops home?
THE CONGRESS 
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITIES ATTACK ON RELIGIOUS GROUPS - Congressman Forbes appeared on Fox News this week to discuss Vanderbilt University's treatment of Christian student groups. Forbes is the Co-Chairman of the Prayer Caucus.The university demands that Christian groups allow atheist and Muslim leaders. Several religious student organizations have been placed on "provisional status" for requiring their student leaders to share the groups' religious beliefs. The Prayer Caucus sent a letter to Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos urging him to ensure that school's nondiscrimination policy is not being interpreted in a manner that discriminates against religious student groups. Political and other student groups are allowed to select leaders who share the groups' views, religious student groups are being prohibited from doing so. Watch the interview here. 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

CAIR DEMANDS MILITARY CHANGE UNIFORMS - it starts in high school, then where. The Counsel on American Islamic Relations sent a letter last week to the superintendent of Williamson County Schools demanding a formal apology be issued to Miss Zawity and that she be allowed to participate in the Junior Reserve Officers Training Program (JROTC) program wearing her hijab. She was banned from the program because she demanded to be the only student in uniform wearing a hijab. For CAIR and the rest of the Muslim Brotherhood, this is not about the JROTC or Zawity. It is the first attempt to change the uniforms of the United States military to conform with sharia law. Look at the photo: Was this girl serious about becoming an officer in the United States Army?

HYATT HOTEL CANCELS ANTI-SHARIA CONFERENCE - The Hyatt hotel in Sugar Land, Texas, abruptly canceled a Tea Party event the same day author and Atlas Shrugs founder Pamela Geller was scheduled to speak on the dangers of Sharia. The story has gone international much to the shame of Hyatt Hotels which is now seen as somewhat anti-Semitic. Pamela Geller is a Jew. Hyatt Hotels in Muslim nations are frequently used by radical Islamic groups attacking Israel. The Hyatt did not need to be pushed very hard by the Council on American Islamic Relations when it demanded that Geller be cancelled. Geller will next speak at the Preserving Freedom Conference in Nashville on 11/11/11.

THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE
EVICTING THE GZ MOSQUE - Power company, which owes half of the property for the propose "Ground Zero mosque" has given developer Sharif Al-Gamal ultimatum: Pay $1.7 million in back rent get out of the property. Park51, which leases the substation from Con Ed, wants the two buildings so it can knock both down and build a $100 million, 15-story community center, or maybe a four story "PrayerSpace" or maybe just use the whole plan to raise money from rich Arabs in Saudi Arabia.

INTERNATIONAL 
CRY FOR SWEDEN - The same nation that tried to put Pastor Aki Green in jail for reading a Scripture critical of homosexuality told an Imam that he had permission from the government to call for the death of anyone leaving Islam. The decision was made by prosecutors after the Imam made the statement on a Swedish Public radio broadcast. Read more

(Note, this is just one of the hundreds of Christians murdered by Muslims worldwide this year as part of Jihad.)
