Report From Washington - February 17, 2012

ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL - My Friday on Capitol Hill was interrupted when I learned that a Muslim with what he thought was an explosive vest had been arrested on his way to the Capitol Building to blow himself up and "kill as many people as possible." MSNBC reported the man was Moroccan but never mentioned that he was a Muslim. The story never made it as a headline at CNN. The CNN site referred to him as "a man," and never used the words, 'Muslim' or 'terror'. On the other hand Fox News reported that the Moroccan Muslim was arrested after prayer at his mosque in Virginia but before reaching the Capitol Building. It is my guess is that if ABC, CBS or NBC mentions the story tonight that the Moroccan's prayers at the mosque will not be mentioned and no mention will be made of Islam or terror. CAIR will, I am sure, release a statement soon stating that the terrorist was "entrapped" by the FBI.

IN THIS ISSUE: Terror threat to Capitol Building / Obama, Religious Freedom and social justice / Senator Blunt speaks out on religious freedom / Congressional hearings on Obama Care and religious liberty / The Vagina Monologues at the church altar - yes, really / Colorado school choir sings "there is no other truth except Allah" / Interpol enforces Islamic blasphemy laws / Islamic coup in Maldives

THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMA, RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE - To Barack Obama religion and democracy are secondary to "social justice." What is social justice? Social justice is whatever a liberal wants to accomplish at any given moment. In the case of Obama Care, social justice is making sure every woman of child bearing age in the United States can have sex without the "burden" of children. During his 2008 campaign for the presidency, Obama actually said about his two daughters, "I don't want them punished with a baby." Faced with an absolute prohibition in the Constitution to government intervention in the affairs of the Church, Obama ordered churches to supply contraceptives and even the "morning after" abortion bill. In his mind, as in the minds of virtually all liberals, babies are a preventable disease. Liberals have a self-loathing of humanity. OBAMA'S ARAB SPRING - President Barack Obama has worked to push out secular leaders of several Muslim nations in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the result: Hazem Saleh Abu Ismail, Egypt's presidential candidate and a vocal supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, has said that there is no room for personal freedom in Islam. ""If you claim that Allah considers it your personal freedom, show me your reference? Nobody has ever said that - except for people have no understanding of Sharia," Ismail said. Read more

CONGRESS 

SENATOR SPEAKS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Sen. Roy Blunt, (R-MO), who heads the Values Action Team in the Senate, argued that the debate over forcing church organizations to furnish contraceptives is "not about cost" but rather about faith-based institutions' right to moral objection. "This is not a financial consideration - if you're opposed to something because it costs money, that's different from being opposed to it because you have a moral objection to it or a faith-based objection to it." Read more 
HEARINGS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - the House held hearings on the HHS mandates that require religious organizations to furnish contraceptives, sterilization and the morning after pill to employees. Representatives of the Catholic Church, as well as various Protestant and Jewish groups, testified that the mandate was a danger to the very basic Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

BLASPHEMY NIGHT AT CHURCH - St. George's Anglican Church in St. Catherine's, Ontario, a church apparently operated by a band of giggling pagan priestesses, staged The Vagina Monologues this week at the altar. The Vagina Monologues. a play which has been around since 1996, glorifies "sex workers" which is the liberal term for prostitutes, lesbians and people involved in various other forms of immorality. Read more. This is not isolated to Canadian churches. The promoters of this filth seek churches out for their performances in both Canada and the United States.
COLORADO SCHOOLS AND ISLAM - A Colorado high school student quit the school choir rather than sing an Islamic song containing the lyric "there is no other truth except Allah." James Harper, a senior at Grand Junction High School in Grand Junction, objected to singing "Zikr," which is in essence an Islamic confession of faith. Read more

INTERNATIONAL 

INTERPOL ENFORCING SHARIA LAW - this is a staggering and scary story. Apparently the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) caused the arrest of Saudi newspaper columnist Hamza Kashgari in Malaysia. His reported crime, committing blasphemy in Saudi Arabia. He was deported back to the Saudi kingdom to almost certain death. A Malaysian police spokesman verified that: "This arrest was part of an Interpol operation which the Malaysian police were a part of. He will be put to death for the following tweet: "I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you. There is a lot I don't understand about you - I will not pray for you." President Obama has granted Interpol permission to operate in the United States with immunity, although they do not have arrest authority as yet.
ISLAMIST COUP IN MALDIVES - Male, Maldives is a destination for wealthy tourists. Resorts line the shores of the Island. However, last week hard-line Islamists helped in overthrowing the democratically elected government. In a coup this week President Mohamed Nasheed was ousted as his political adversaries claimed he was trying to undermine their faith.

Report From Washington - September 9, 2011

REMEMBERING 9-11 - I was literally passing the Pentagon when American Airlines 77 struck the building. One year after the 9-11 jihad attack I wrote an essay on what I recalled from that day, including the insane pro-Islamic PC from the White House and my efforts to stop it. Each year I republish the essay, Remembering 911. This year an old video was found of a speech I delivered just at the first anniversary of the attack. That video is now at YouTube 

IN THIS ISSUE: Special 9-11 update / Remembering the jihad attack / The threat today / The rally at Ground Zero / Congress finds new 9-11 link / More Islamist attacks around the world / More Christians killed in Nigeria / Christian village in Egypt under attack

PRESIDENCY

THE PRESIDENT ON 9-11 - President Obama will attend a service Sunday morning with a Catholic priest, a rabbi and an imam. No evangelical pastors will be permitted to participate. The event has been moved from the National Cathedral because a series of acts of God, an earthquake and floods, have rendered the main sanctuary unusable. The service will now be held at the Kennedy Center and the imam will, of course, pray in Arabic.  
THE PRESIDENT IN NEW YORK - President Obama will fly to New York to speak at an event only for "family members" of those killed on 9-11. First responders and those injured that day are not welcome. The restrictions are not new. Ten years ago officials in New York made the decision to make sure that events commemorating the "terrorist attack" would diminish over the years as family members aged.

THE CONGRESS 

PETER KING FINDS NEW 9-11 LINK - Congressman Peter King (R-NY), in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, said investigators believe it is no coincidence that Anwar al-Awlaki had contact with three of the five hijackers who flew a plane into the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001. The House Homeland Security Committee is investigating to determine "to what extent Anwar al-Awlaki wittingly or unwittingly facilitated the plot of the 9/11 hijackers." After the attacks, Al-Awlaki was invited to speak at a Pentagon lunch and was also invited by Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison to speak on Capitol Hill. Al-Awlaki also encouraged the attack by Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood. Read more
 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

RALLY AT GROUND ZERO - This Sunday at 3:00 a massive rally will be held honoring the fallen of the 9-11 jihad attack -- a rally that tells the truth about Islamic oppression. This is not the "official" Mayor Bloomberg or Obama political rally. If you are anywhere near New York, please meet me there.Read more

The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference will be the first national conference on sharia and the Islamization of America, and will be held in Nashville on November 11, 2011. Topics will include: Sharia and Jihad; The European Experience; The Dehumanization and Diminishment of Women in the West under Sharia; The Muslim Brotherhood in America; Sharia and Legal Action, Grassroots Organizing against Sharia and Rabats (including Mega-Mosques); Defending Liberty In Legislatures; and Fighting Islamist Propaganda in the Media

NEW CHAIRMAN'S REPORT BY WILLIAM J MURRAY

NEW: Chairman's Report from Washington, DC for September 1, 2011. IN THIS ISSUE: President Obama's way of dealing with high unemployment -- more high dollar vacations / Why does the First Lady need a separate jet to travel with the President? / Busting the Bible Belt with Somali Muslims / Does TSA hire extremists? / Allen West in Israel / More fraud associated with Ground Zero mosque / Islamic hate speech in Harlem / The London riots caused by lack of morals / Israel under attack / The Ramadan body count: 180 terror attacks kill 785
 

INTERNATIONAL 

SEPTEMBER JIHAD ATTACKS - As of noon today (9/9/11) there have been twenty (20) Islamic terror attacks on innocent civilians in September. On the 7th a suicide bomber killed 13 and wounded 89 in front of a court house in New Delhi, India. Early today a father and his seven young children were hacked to death when Muslims attacked their home in Barkin Ladi, Nigeria. Christians and Hindus are not the only victims. Several attacks have killed Buddhists in Thailand so far this month. 
TERROR NOT THE FULL STORY - Although thousands of innocent people are killed in Islamic terror attacks, many more die at the hands of Islamic sharia law. In Iran this past week three men were publicly hanged for homosexuality, as it is forbidden by sharia. In Islamic controlled northern Nigeria, two men had their hands cut off at their wrists for stealing a bull. Many women were murdered by their Muslim fathers this week for family "honor." A woman in Jordan was shot dead by her father in the hospital shortly after she gave birth to twins. Her crime was not being married.
MORE "ARAB SPRING" FOR 9-11 - Christians in the Upper Egyptian village of Elmarinab in Edfu, Aswan province, have been forbidden to leave their homes or buy food until they remove the dome of St. George's Church, which was rebuilt in its previous location. Village Muslims, backed by Muslim Salafists from neighboring villages, have threatened to demolish the church today (September 9th) after their Friday prayers and use it as a mosque. Read more

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR JULY 20th, 2011 - William J Murray's Chairman's Report includes: Obama's Voice of America claims that Islamists want "reform." / Obama says no to Canadian oil but yes to Saudi oil / The State Department's Weiner problem / NBC apologizes for "under God" omission in Pledge / Military funding of same-sex marriage / Gays for Jon Huntsman / Honor killings in the West / Islamists want to take over UK cities / Pakistani Christian sex slaves / Islamic school has kids make bombs in Indonesia. Other international and domestic issues reported by William J. Murray

PRESIDENCY
DEBT NOW 100% OF GDP - President Obama demanded and got lots more borrowed money to spend. Now, as a result of the debt ceiling increase signed into law by President Obama, the United States has joined a handful of nations whose debt is greater that their entire economic output. The small club of nations owing 100% of more of GDP, which the USA now belongs to includes: Japan (229 percent), Greece (152 percent), Jamaica (137 percent), Lebanon (134 percent), Italy (120 percent), Ireland (114 percent) and Iceland (103 percent), according to the International Monetary Fund.

THE BIRTHDAY BASH - On Wednesday President Obama turned 50 years old and celebrated with a ride on Air Force One to Chicago where a party was held in a room that rents for $44,000 a night. Guests had to pay about $38,500 each to attend, and even more for a private get-together after the main party. 

BARACK IN A HARD PLACE - In the seven months leading up to the deadline for the U.S. debt ceiling, not once did President Barack Obama or anyone on his staff propose a plan to deal with the impending disaster of a default by the government. His only participation was to reject all plans that did not significantly raise taxes. As nations such as China were discussing dumping U.S bonds, President Barack Obama was busy pandering to the homosexual lobby which donates heavily to his campaign for reelection. Finally Speaker John Boehner walked out of talks with Obama saying the President "would not take yes for an answer." The Speaker and liberal Senator Harry Reid then negotiated an agreement. Americans watched and understood the lack of leadership, as Obama's favorability ratings dropped to their lowest ever.
THE VICE PRESIDENT -GASP! - Early this week Vice President Biden referred to members of the Tea Party as "terrorists." Perhaps this is why he needs the extra layer of protection of renting a property he owns to the Secret Service agents who protect his life. The Washington Times reported that Biden so far has charged the Secret Service more than $13,000 just this year. Under a contract, the Secret Service will pay the Vice President a total of $66,000 by the end of 2013. The property in question is a cottage next to his waterfront home outside Wilmington, Delaware.

THE CONGRESS 

FED SPENDING NOW OVER $30K PER HOUSEHOLD - The federal government is spending more per household than ever before. Since 1965, spending per household has grown by nearly 162%, from $11,431 in 1965 to $29,401 in 2010. From 2010 to 2021, it is projected to rise to $35,773, a 22% increase. (Click on chart for breakdown). While a debt ceiling framework passed the House this week, Congressman Randy Forbes says, "We have a lot of work to do to help America dig out of our fiscal sinkhole, including pursuing entitlement reform and passing a Balanced Budget Amendment." Forbes voted against the bill raising the debt ceiling.

PROTECTING RELIGIOUS MINORITIES - On July 29th, 2011 the House passed bipartisan legislation sponsored by Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) to create a special envoy at the U.S. State Department for religious minorities in the Near East and South Central Asia. The legislation was introduced in January in the wake of increasing violence, targeted attacks and heightened discrimination against Christians in Iraq and Egypt, and persistent concerns in Afghanistan and Pakistan, among other nations. The bill was sent to the Senate where it must be approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chaired by John Kerry (MA) and Ranking Member Richard Lugar (IN). Please contact these Senators!

IN RECESS - The House and Senate are in recess until September 6th at 10:00 AM

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

NYC: YES TO MOSQUE, NO TO CHURCH - While New York City officials push to build a mosque at Ground Zero, they also continue to do everything in their power to stop the rebuilding of the 95-year-old St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. This church was crushed when one of the World Trade Center towers fell on it during the jihad attack on September 11th. In a recent article Pamela Geller details the struggle of the church to rebuild. Read more

BLOOMBERG'S MOSQUE AND SAME-SEX NUPTIALS - Muslims hang homosexuals in Iran and in other Islamic nations. Posters have appeared all over London threatening homosexuals. BUT ... New York's Mayor Bloomberg sees no contradiction in supporting both gays and Islam. The mayor not only advocates building a large mosque right on Ground Zero, but he has been photographed kneeling on a prayer rug in another New York City mosque. Yet this past Sunday he proudly officiated over one of the first gay weddings in New York State, for two of his top aides. (I wonder if these are the guys working to have the mosque built at Ground Zero.) Bloomberg did not go so far as to proclaim them man and wife, but rather declared, "I pronounce you both married," thus proclaiming the "union" of has top aides, Jonathan Mintz and John Feinblatt.

NO 911 MOSQUE

A NEW VISION FOR GROUND ZERO MOSQUE - The Ground Zero mosque may not be what Mayor Bloomberg and city officials rushed to support. The developer, a 37 year old former waiter named Sharif El-Gamal, told The New York Times, "We're going back to basics." The building, he indicated, may be as small as four stories and may or may not have an actual mosque. Read more 

INTERNATIONAL 

RAMADAN BODY COUNT - TheReligionofPeace.com keeps a daily body count of victims each year during Ramadan. Islamic assassinations, mass murders and riots often peak during the "holy" month of Ramadan as imams poison the minds of men virtually every day rather than just on Fridays. The site has links to stories from all over the world of Islamic terror attacks that are not reported in the United States, stories like the one that follows.

MUSLIM MAN'S HONOR KILLING OF SIX DAUGHTERS - Yes ... you read it right. He killed six of his daughters all on the same day in July. He killed two of them because one of their brothers reported to him that they were dating men. He killed the other four because, he claimed, they allowed the family to be dishonored by protecting the two sisters who were dating. Read more

EGYPT MOVES FURTHER TOWARD ISLAMIC REPUBLIC - After "prayers" last Friday, Tahrir Square in Cairo was full of tens of thousands of people, mainly Islamists, who called for the implementation of Islamic law in Egypt. Meanwhile just days later on August 1st, Egyptian army tanks entered Tahrir on the first day of Ramadan and evicted the last of the "liberal" protesters who were for the most part secularists. Shop keepers and locals cheered as those who had wanted a broad based democracy were either arrested or pushed out of the main square. Arab spring or Islamic fall?

Report From Washington - July 22, 2011

Obama moves against Fox News / Obama fights for gay issues / Gay love in the trenches / Democrats want to force other nations to be gay friendly / Terror in Oslo / Islamic Emirates in Britain / Terror not just in the Middle East / Falsely accused Christian dies in Pakistani jail

PRESIDENCY 
OBAMA MOVES AGAINST FOX NEWS - Do CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and CNBC pay for news stories? Of course. Do they pay officials in other nations for news leaks? Of course they do. But the U.S. Justice Department is preparing subpoenas as part of preliminary investigations into News Corp, relating to alleged foreign bribery in the U.K. over a phone hacking scandal at one of the company's newspapers. The Obama Administration has ordered the DOJ to go after News Corp in hopes they can shut up Fox News, but Obama may have a problem: It is my understanding that Fox News is currently amassing information on bribes paid overseas for news by the other major networks. 
OBAMA FINALLY TELLS THE TRUTH - When Obama ran for president in 2008 everyone knew he was lying when he claimed to support traditional marriage. Just as if we were living in the society ruled by Big Brother in the Orwellian novel 1984, we are now told by an Obama spokesman that Obama has always been against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and now supports legislation to end it. Ending DOMA would of course end the right of states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages.
GAY LOVE IN THE TRENCHES - Under President Obama's direction, the new Pentagon chief Leon Panetta has decided to end the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military. He certified that repealing the gay prohibition will not hurt the military's ability to fight. With that certification from Panetta, President Obama officially lifted the ban today.

THE CONGRESS 

FORCE OTHER NATIONS TO BE GAY FRIENDLY - Enslaving women is OK with Democrats; just don't mistreat gays. In a late night session at a marathon committee markup of H.R. 2583, the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Democrat Ranking Member, Howard Berman, offered an amendment that would have given the Secretary of State a directive to promote the LGBT agenda internationally. Although the amendment was defeated along party lines by Republicans, one question comes to mind: Why was their no reference to the rights of women or religious minorities in the amendment, only to gay rights? Answer: Although homosexuals are a very small minority, they give huge amounts of money to Democrat congressmen.

INTERNATIONAL 

OSLO, NORWAY ATTACKED - The attack on government buildings in Oslo, Norway today highlighted the fear sweeping Europe as a result of the failed policy of massive immigration to foster "multiculturalism." Not only was a car bomb used to attack buildings, including the Prime Minister's office, but a youth camp was attacked by a gunman dressed as a policeman. As of this writing at least seven are dead and many more injured.

ISLAMIC EMIRATES OF BRITAIN? - Muslims now want to turn twelve British cities, one called "Londonistan," into independent autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law. Called the Islamic Emirates Project, it uses the motto "The end of man-made law, and the start of Sharia law." The U.K. is now 5% Muslim and the radicalism of Islam there has changed the face of that nation and has most of the population in a constant state of fear. A stunning article by Soeren Kern in Hudson New York exposes the U.K situation which is on its way to the USA.

NOT JUST THE MIDDLE EAST - In Xingjian, China, Muslim separatists chanting 'Allah is the only god," attacked a police station last week, hacking two officers to death. They then murdered a woman and a teenage girl in the name of Allah. Many more people were injured, and the Chinese military was called in to restore order. In the last two weeks Islamic terrorists have killed 12 and injured numerous others in Thailand. Most of those murdered were Buddhists.
ANOTHER CHRISTIAN DIES IN PAKISTAN JAIL - A man accused of blasphemy and said to be mentally challenged, died in Lahore Camp Jail after what police said was a brief ailment. Shaukat Ali, 35, was imprisoned in 2007 under blasphemy charges. Read more
