BETHESDA, MARYLAND: CLERGY GATHER TO “BLESS” LATE TERM ABORTION FACILITY, CLAIM ABORTION STAFF WORK FOR GOD’S “GLORY”

 WILDWOOD MEDICAL CENTER ABORTIONS
“According to the Washington Post, which first broke the story, 
the clergy members  
sprinkled water in each room of the abortion facility, 
as well as in the parking lot.”
 CARLTON VEAZEY: 

“Reverend Carlton W. Veazey is a minister in the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., and the President of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC). Veazey founded RCRC’s National Black Church Initiative. Veazey was the 7th pastor of the Zion Baptist Church of DC from 1960 to 1993, when he was removed by vote of the membership. Veazey is a graduate from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and the Howard University School of Divinity.
In addition to being an outspoken proponent of reproductive rights,[2] he has also been an outspoken critic of theocracy in the United States and Christian fundamentalism.”

“God is not against abortion because it 
‘affirms a woman’s moral agency.'”

CLERGY GATHER TO “BLESS” LATE TERM ABORTION FACILITY, CLAIM ABORTION STAFF WORK FOR GOD’S “GLORY”

 BETHESDA, Md. — Four clergy members who profess to be Christians and one 
rabbi gathered outside of a late-term abortion facility in Maryland on Monday to 
“bless” the location, which is run by notorious abortionist Leroy Carhart.

“God of grace and God of glory, in whom we move and live,” prayed
Carlton Veazey, president of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive
Choice and pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.,“…
keep them safe and keep them strong. And may they always know that all
that they do is for Thy glory.”
Cari Jackson, who is ordained in the United Church of Christ and also
works with the Coalition, was likewise present at Wildwood Medical
Center for the occasion. According to the Washington Post, which first broke the story, the clergy members sprinkled water in each room of the abortion facility, as well as in the parking lot.
“We give honor to all of these women who choose to come to this
space,” Jackson said. “We sanctify this space, and we honor this as
holy.”

Those involved also sang songs, such as “Mi Shebeirach,” which is stated to be a Jewish prayer for healing.
“May the one who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, bless and heal those who are ill,” it
states. “May the blessed Holy One be filled with compassion for their
health to be restored and their strength to be revived.”
Charles Feinberg, who served as rabbi of Adas Israel Congregation in
Washington, D.C. from 2006 to 2015, claimed to those gathered that
Jewish leaders have believed for hundreds of years that a baby is not a
person, and that killing a baby is only considered murder once he or she
is born.

“Jewish rabbinic authorities, starting with the Middle Ages, say that
a fetus is not a person,” he asserted. “Judaism has always said
abortion is never murder. It may not be permitted, depending on the
circumstances—how far along the pregnancy is, how seriously ill the
mother-to-be is—but it is never murder. It only becomes that once the
baby is born.”
Veazy likewise asserted that God is not against abortion because it “affirms a woman’s moral agency.”
“The Supreme Court affirmed a woman’s right to choose an abortion.
But before the Supreme Court did it, God had already done it, because it
affirms a woman’s moral agency,” he claimed.
A Hindu priest was supposed to have attended the interfaith event, but was not present.
As previously reported,
last October, Carhart—who also operates an abortion facility in
Nebraska—announced that he would be opening an office in the Wildwood
Medical Center for “advanced gestation abortion care.” Abortion is legal
throughout all nine months of pregnancy in Maryland.
Word of the new facility drew opposition from pro-life groups
nationwide, which held a protest and press conference outside of the
location and urged those concerned to call for the cancellation of
Carhart’s lease. According to PrayforBethesda.com, demonstrations are
being held outside of the facility on a weekly basis. Organizers also
state that other businesses in the medical complex object to having an
abortionist in the building.

Morbelli
As previously reported,
Carhart became the subject of controversy in 2013 after mother Jennifer
McKenna Morbelli, 29, died following complications from the abortion of
her 33-week-old daughter, who she named Madison Leigh. Morbelli opted
to have an abortion because the baby had fetal anomalies, reports state

An autopsy later revealed that Morbelli died “due to or as a
consequence of Amniotic Fluid Embolism following Medical Termination of
Pregnancy,” or the existence of amniotic fluid in her bloodstream, which
resulted in clotting.
The Maryland Board of Physicians agreed to investigate the matter following a complaint, but ultimately decided to take no action in the situation.
Carhart was also captured during an undercover investigation that same year likening the lifeless and “mushy” bodies of aborted babies to “meat in a crock pot.”

“So, what makes the baby ‘mushy?’” the woman, who posed as an abortion-minded mother, asked.

“The fact that it’s not alive for 2 to 3 days,” Carhart responded.
“Oh, so I’ll have a dead baby in me?” the woman inquired.
“For three days, yeah,” Carhart said.
“Will it start to decay or something?” the woman asked.
“No,” Carhart said. “It’s like putting meat in a crock pot. Okay? It
doesn’t get broken. It gets softer. It doesn’t get infected.”
“Okay, so the dead baby in me is like meat in a crock pot,” the woman repeated.
“Pretty much,” Carhart replied. “Kinda much.”
While Carhart claims to “strongly” believe in God and had previously
attended a Methodist church, Christians have long decried abortion in
America as being the savage murder of innocent children. Even in 1872,
preacher Thomas De Witt Talmage wrote in his book “The Abominations of
Modern Society:”
“Herod’s massacre of the innocents was as nothing compared to that of
millions and millions by what I shall call ante-natal murders. You may
escape the grip of the law, because the existence of such life was not
known by society, but I tell you that at last God will shove down on you
the avalanche of His indignation, and though you may not have wielded
knife or pistol in your deeds of darkness, yet, in the day when John
Wilkes Booth and Antony Probst come to judgment, you will have on your
brow the brand of murderer.”
Ecclesiastes 11:5 also reads, “As thou knowest not what is the way of
the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with
child, even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.”

TURKEY’S ERDOGAN TO MEET WITH POPE, THANK HIM FOR OPPOSING TRUMP’S RECOGNITION OF JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL’S CAPITOL

TURKEY’S ERDOGAN TO MEET WITH POPE, THANK HIM FOR OPPOSING TRUMP’S RECOGNITION OF JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL’S CAPITOL 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

This is not the first time a Muslim leader has thanked Pope Francis for being so very useful to the global jihad. Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing of jihad terror. During the meeting, al-Issa thanked the Pope for his “fair positions” on what he called the “false claims that link extremism and violence to Islam.” Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, has also thanked Francis for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.”
Pope Francis has proclaimed that “authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Koran reject every form of violence,” doing his bit to ensure that as many Christians as possible would remain ignorant and complacent about the jihad threat that his precious “dialogue” does nothing to mitigate.
And now this. Pope Francis is a disgrace to the Church, to Judeo-Christian civilization, and to the free world.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

“Jerusalem to dominate Erdoğan’s meeting with Pope Francis,” Daily Sabah, February 2, 2018:

The United States’ controversial recognition of Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel is expected to dominate talks between
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Pope Francis on the president’s first
trip to the Vatican on Sunday.
According to presidential sources, Erdoğan will thank Pope Francis
for his stance against U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision and his
efforts to protect the status quo in the holy city.
The Turkish president previously expressed his appreciation to Pope
Francis who strongly opposed the bitterly-contested move announced by
Trump at the end of last year. The two leaders held several phone calls
regarding the issue and voiced their determination to follow
developments regarding Jerusalem.
The current humanitarian crisis in Syria, regional developments,
terror, cooperation against Islamophobia and xenophobia are also among
the topics which the two leaders are set to discuss during their
meeting.
The Argentine pope met Erdoğan during his trip to Turkey in November
2014 as the first world leader to visit the Turkish presidential complex
in Ankara. The return visit will be the first by a Turkish president
since 1959.
Francis has repeatedly praised Turkey’s efforts to welcome Syrian
refugees and has said the country could be a “great peacemaker.”…

UPDATE:
 At Vatican, Erdogan asks Pope to help lead “concerted and continuous international effort to fight Islamophobia”
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

Pope Francis loves Erdogan: he gave him 50 minutes, not the usual 30 he accords to world leaders.
“Erdoğan discussed the plight of the Christians [sic] minorities in the Middle East and promised to mobilize Turkish support to help them in every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year history.”
In reality, the Christians in the Ottoman Empire suffered the institutionalized discrimination and harassment of dhimmitude, punctuated with occasional open persecution. I detail this at length in my next book, The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which is scheduled to be out this summer.
“This of course brought the president to the issue of the rising tide of Islamophobia in the West. He asked the pontiff to help Muslims and stand up to this situation, which could turn into a disaster in most areas of Western Europe. The problem that started as xenophobia has mushroomed into enmity toward all Muslims, especially in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and France. The Vatican has also drawn attention to the problem, but Turkey wants a concerted and continuous international effort to fight Islamophobia.”
“Islamophobia” is used to refer to persecution of innocent Muslims, which is never justified, as well as to honest analysis of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression, as I explain in my last book, Confessions of an Islamophobe. The conflation of the two acts as a tool to restrict the freedom of speech and bring the public discourse in the West into line with Sharia blasphemy laws. Pope Francis is unlikely to have any problem with this, since it has been on his watch that the falsehood that Islam is a Religion of Peace has become a superdogma in the Catholic Church: a Catholic can dissent openly and freely from every element of the Nicene Creed and any other dogma of the Catholic Church, and remain a Catholic in good standing. But if a Catholic suggests that Islam is not a Religion of Peace, he will be subjected to organized campaigns from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to make sure he has no platform in Catholic circles and, if possible, anywhere else.

Pope Francis and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are a disgrace to the Church, to Judeo-Christian civilization, and to the free world.

“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

“Turkey, Vatican agree on Jerusalem,” by İlnur Çevik, Daily Sabah, February 6, 2018:

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with Pope Francis at
the Vatican and discussed the status of Jerusalem at length. This is
history in the making. It is the first ever visit by a Turkish head of
state to the Vatican after Turkey and the Holy See established
diplomatic relations in 1960. President Celal Bayar visited the Vatican
in 1959 and opened the way for the establishment of these relations.
Erdoğan spearheaded the Islamic world’s action at the United Nations
General Assembly to oppose the decision by U.S. President Donald Trump
to declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and that the U.S. will
move its embassy from Tel Aviv to this ancient city. The move also
received support from the pope, the spiritual leader of Catholics around
the globe.
The Vatican says Jerusalem, which is a major holy city for the
Muslims, Christians and Jews, should be granted a special status where
people of all religions can worship freely. Thus, it is opposed to the
city becoming exclusively a Jewish entity where Muslims and Christians
are left to the whims of the Jews.
Turkey agrees with the Vatican and says Jerusalem could be the joint capital of Israel and Palestine.
But Jerusalem was not the only issue on the agenda. Erdoğan explained
the reasons why Turkey had to launch Operation Olive Branch in the
northwestern Syrian region of Afrin just across the Turkish border.
Ankara hopes to secure the support of the Vatican on Afrin with the
explanation that it is not invading another country, but is rather
actively striving to cleanse the area of terrorists and allow suffering
Syrian civilians to go back to their homes. Turkey evicted Daesh
terrorists of from its border in Operation Euphrates Shield and turned
the region into a safe haven for Syrians. It aims to do the same in
Afrin.
Besides this, the Vatican had lauded Turkey’s efforts to end the
massacre of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. The Vatican had also
applauded Turkey for the way took in 3,5 million Syrians fleeing the
civil war in their country for the past six years and has spent $30
billion on them.
Erdoğan discussed the plight of the Christians [sic] minorities in
the Middle East and promised to mobilize Turkish support to help them in
every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year history.
This of course brought the president to the issue of the rising tide
of Islamophobia in the West. He asked the pontiff to help Muslims and
stand up to this situation, which could turn into a disaster in most
areas of Western Europe. The problem that started as xenophobia has
mushroomed into enmity toward all Muslims, especially in Germany, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and France. The Vatican has also drawn
attention to the problem, but Turkey wants a concerted and continuous
international effort to fight Islamophobia.
Erdoğan found an attentive ear at the Vatican….

UPDATE:
Turkish leader declares jihad on Kurds, 
dispatches soldiers to “decimate” them
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
  
Erdogan launched what Islamists are openly calling a jihad against the Kurdish 
YPG faction. Thousands of Turkish soldiers, along with tanks and artillery, have 
blasted their way across the Turkish border into Syria.


Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the model of a clever jihadist leader who
employs a combination of stealth and violent means to attain his
expansionist dreams of a revived Ottoman Empire.

After the fall of the Ottomans, and soon after the declaration of the
Republic of Turkey, Ankara’s goal became to destroy all non-Turkish
elements within the Republic, with a primary target being the Kurds and
the Armenians. Now Erdogan has taken up that effort once again. As he
aims to destroy the historic culture and identity of the Kurds, he has
deceptively (and cruelly) called his jihad invading death squads
“Operation Olive Branch.”

On January 20 and 21, 90,000 mosques prayed Qur’anic “conquest” prayers calling on Muslims to be “ruthless against unbelievers” and for victory against the Kurds, right before Erdogan’s thousands of soldiers were dispatched.

Yet despite Erdogan’s unsavoury record, he still manages to sell to
Western leaders the idea that he is “moderate.” Earlier this week, Pope
Francis rolled out the red carpet for him; Erdogan took opportunity to ask the Pope
to help lead a “concerted and continuous international effort to fight
Islamophobia.” He also deceitfully “discussed the plight” of Christians
in the Middle East and “promised to mobilize Turkish support to help
them in every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year
history.”


There are a couple problems with his hollow “promise”: Christian persecution has dramatically increased in Turkey under his hardline rule. Erdogan has even brought changes to school curricula:
“Islamic law class and basic fundamental religion lectures will include
lessons on jihad.” Also, Christians were not supported under Ottoman
rule as Erdogan states. As Robert Spencer has noted: “In reality, the
Christians in the Ottoman Empire suffered the institutionalized
discrimination and harassment of dhimmitude, punctuated with occasional
open persecution.”
Erdogan has also declared that the European headscarf ban started a
battle between the Cross and the Crescent. He continues to deny the
atrocious Armenian genocide; has supported the Islamic State and the Muslim Brotherhood; and has long been on a global campaign to compel Western nations to criminalize “Islamophobia.”

All world leaders, especially the Pope, should be condemning Erdogan
and his unrighteous persecution of the Kurds, particularly now that
Erdogan has “dispatched his army into Syria to decimate them.”

“Turkey’s Erdogan Declares Jihad on Religious Minorities in Syria”, by Lela Gilbert, Newsmax, February 6, 2018:

Turkey’s irascible President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is
once again infuriated with a Kurdish group and has dispatched his army
into Syria to decimate them.

On January 20, Erdogan launched what Islamists are openly calling a
jihad against the Kurdish YPG faction. Thousands of Turkish soldiers,
along with tanks and artillery, have blasted their way across the
Turkish border into Syria.

With a cynical choice of words, the Turks have code-named their invasion, “Operation Olive Branch.”

Under Erdogan’s leadership, Turkey’s military is believed by some to
be a threat to Middle East peace. Perhaps more alarming is that
Erdogan’s troops also comprise NATO’s second largest army.

Since Operation Olive Branch was launched, Turkish soldiers have been
making their way toward Afrin City. But their progress has been slower
than expected.

Egypt’s Al-Ahram reported on Feb. 4, “Ankara is heightening the pitch
of its chauvinistic rhetoric on Kurdish militias and U.S. policies in
northern Syria, but is making painfully meagre progress in its ground
offensive….”

Afrin is a canton in Syria’s northwest, populated largely by Kurds.
Many in Afrin’s population belong to the YPK, a Kurdish militia that has
heroically fought alongside United States forces against the Islamic
State/ISIS.

In the complicated Middle East, however, one man’s hero is another
man’s terrorist. In Erdogan’s narrow-eyed view, the YPK (and several
other Kurdish groups) are terrorists.

So the Kurdish communities in the Afrin region — many of them
civilians alongside displaced minority families who fled the Syrian war —
are once again literally under the gun.

Since the fighting began on Jan. 20, Turkish fighters have
slaughtered over 900 soldiers and civilians, including Christians,
Yazidis, and other unarmed civilians.

Many of the displaced people in the region were originally from
Aleppo, a city that has historically had a Christian community of about
250,000. Aleppo used to be the largest city in Syria. But with the rise
of sectarian violence beginning in 2010, many displaced Christian
families were forced to flee to Afrin, Idlib, and other northern safe
havens. There they were joined by Yazidis and other minorities.

Tragically, those safe havens are now warzones.

According to UN figures, today 323,000 people are living in Afrin and
nearby areas under Kurdish control. Of them, 192,000 are in need of
humanitarian aid and 125,000 are what the UN terms “internally displaced
persons,” or IDPs, from other parts of Syria.

As this latest fighting began to heat up, Twitter was alight with
warnings from church groups in Afrin and nearby communities, pleading
for help.

Some refugee parents posted online photos of their children living in
tents, entirely unprotected as shells and shrapnel rained down on them.
Others were photographed hiding in caves, cringing at the sound of
incoming bombs and bullets.

Scores of appeals for help from trapped Christians have been tweeted
and retweeted. One message from a local Pastor Hanan pleaded for
international intervention and protection.

“As the Good Shepherd Church in Afrin city,” he wrote, “we demand
urgent international protection for the believers in Afrin and the cease
of this Turkish shelling….”

Pastor Hanan also pointed out the very real danger that the present
upheaval may help ISIS or al-Qaida to make a regional comeback.

Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that foreign fighters are joining the battle against Turkey in support of the YPG.

One volunteer posted online, “We have fought Daesh [ISIS] before in
Raqqa, in Deir ez-Zor, and now with the fascist Turkish state that we
are fighting here in Afrin.”

Unrepentantly, Erdogan has threated to extend Operation Olive Branch
further into Syria, and to remove all “terrorists,” so he can transport
some three million refugees, presently sheltering in Turkey, back in to
Syria for repatriation.

One Feb. 3 report quotes Erdogan saying that the fighting is about to
end. At the same time, Hurriyet, a Turkish news source, reports that
the Turkish army is getting close to the Afrin City Center. It also
reports that Erdogan’s AKP party is seeking approval from Parliament,
“for Turkey’s ongoing military operation into the Syrian district of
Afrin.…”

Will Erdogan’s ever-expanding ambitions succeed? Will anyone — NATO,
Russia, Iranian, Syrian, or any other force — stand in Erdogan’s way?

The Economist sums up the very volatile situation, and warns the conflict could spiral out of control…..

 
 

KING ABDULLAH OF JORDAN: “MAYBE THERE’S A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF ISLAM” IN WASHINGTON

KING ABDULLAH OF JORDAN: 
“MAYBE THERE’S A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING 
OF ISLAM” IN WASHINGTON
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

There is indeed a lack of understanding of Islam in Washington, but not in the way King Abdullah is claiming.

Abdullah said: “It is not a religion of hate. We as Muslims believe
in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. We believe in the Holy Virgin Mother. We
believe in the Bible and the Torah, and I think this is the way that
all of us were brought up. When we all greet each other as Arabs and
Muslims, we say, ‘As-salamu alaykum’ — peace be unto you,” claiming that
this phrase was “the basis of Islam.”

The King must know that none of that negates the presence of these
passages in the Qur’an, or the doctrines of war that all mainstream
sects and schools of Islamic jurisprudence have derived from them:

2:191-193: “And kill them wherever you come upon them, and drive them
out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter.
But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you
there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of
unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving,
all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the
religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity
save for evildoers.”

4:89: “They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and
then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them,
until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs,
seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for
yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.”

5:33: “This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and
His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they
shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck
off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a
degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them
a mighty chastisement.”

8:12: “When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so
confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the
unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!”

8:39: “Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all
for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they
do.”

8:60: “Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you
can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others
besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatever you
spend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be
wronged.”

9:5: “Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters
wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait
for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the
prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is
All-forgiving, All-compassionate.”

9:29: “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do
not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not
practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the
Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel
themselves subdued.”

9:111: “Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their
possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of
Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah
in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his
covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with
Him; that is the mighty triumph.”

9:123: “O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and
let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the
godfearing.”

47:4: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when
you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set
them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads.
So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself
upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those
who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works
astray.”

So is the King kidding himself, or trying to kid us? Note also that
he says this: “We all want better future for our children and their
children. For them to feel isolated, that’s the danger.” So don’t take
any steps to stop jihad terrorism, because they will make Muslims feel
“isolated,” and that will fuel jihad terrorism. Got it? Think I’m
exaggerating? Then look at this: Hamas-linked CAIR is calling upon Los Angeles
to reject the “Countering Violent Extremism,” because it supposedly
“targets the Muslim community and stigmatizes them as inherently suspect
under the false premise that Muslims are more prone to violence than
other religious or ethnic groups.” See? It makes them feel “isolated.”
Don’t do that, and all will be well, says the King.

“King of Jordan: ‘Maybe there’s a lack of understanding of Islam’ in Washington,” by Olivia Beavers, The Hill, February 4, 2018:

King Abdullah II of Jordan in a new interview said he
believes Islam is not fully understood within both the halls of Congress
and the walls of the White House when asked about President Trump’s
rhetoric about the religion.

“Whether I’m in Washington in the Congress or with the
administration, I think maybe there’s a lack of understanding of Islam,”
the Jordanian leader said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s
“GPS with Fareed Zakaria.”

The king defended the religion, saying the foundations of Islam are
the same moral virtues seen in other religions like Christianity and
Judaism.

“It is not a religion of hate. We as Muslims believe in Jesus Christ
as the Messiah. We believe in the Holy Virgin Mother. We believe in the
Bible and the Torah, and I think this is the way that all of us were
brought up,” he told Zakaria.

“When we all greet each other as Arabs and Muslims, we say,
‘As-salamu alaykum’ — peace be unto you,” he added, describing the
frequently uttered phrases as “the basis of Islam.”

The Jordan leader acknowledged that “fringe groups” and civil wars
have created a series of problems and challenges, but he suggested that
most Muslims are fighting against the extremists alongside other
religions.

“This is a civil war between all of us, and those that, not only
consider us heretics, but consider Christians, Jews and other religions
all heretics, and should be put to the sword,” he said, describing it as
a “fight inside of Islam.”

“The problem that we have now, and maybe the lack of understanding,
is that it is — it’s us Muslims working side by side with Christians,
Jews and other religions to fight this scourge, which is still going to
be a long-term problem,” he continued.

The king said such efforts could be undermined across the globe if
the Muslim population feels “victimized and isolated,” because that
would create “a breeding ground of contempt.”

“We all want better future for our children and their children. For
them to feel isolated, that’s the danger. And the rhetoric that moves in
that direction is not a good story for any of us,” he argued….

THE GOSPEL COALITION SAYS CHURCH SHOULD BE “SAFE SPACE” FOR HOMOSEXUALS

THE GOSPEL COALITION SAYS CHURCH SHOULD BE “SAFE SPACE” FOR HOMOSEXUALS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 The leftist [Social] Gospel Coalition wants your church to know how it can be a 
“safe space” for homosexuals. Written by Rachel Gilson, the “director of 
theological development” at Campus Crusades for Christ (CRU) Northeast, the 
post wags its literary finger at readers within the local church, shaming them for 
not being a safe enough of a place for people to live in their sin.

Gilson is a lesbian who wrote about her experiences at Christianity Today in a post entitled, “I Never Became Straight. Perhaps That Was Never God’s Goal.” In that article, she made the astonishing claim, “Slowly, I came to understand that ‘making me straight’ wasn’t the answer. There is no biblical command to be heterosexual.”
Of course, being fruitful and multiplying – a central command from God
to humanity – is a pretty clear requirement of heterosexuality.
Homosexuals are clearly incapable of this reproductive fruitfulness.

Gilson, like so many others in recent years, have promoted the idea
of a celebrated “eunuch class” of Christians (those with “Same Sex
Attaction” who remain celibate). Although Gilson married (reluctantly)
and is still physically attracted to females and not her husband, she
insists that just accepting her homosexuality is what the church must do, so long as she does not act upon it.

Evangelicals are quickly abandoning the notion of a sanctifying
Spirit who conforms us to the image of Christ and changes us from our
most inward parts, replacing our sinful nature with a new one. Denying
the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, those promoting eunuch
Christianity are contradicting the very thing Jesus taught us in the
Sermon on the Mount; a sin of the heart is still a sin, whether or not
it’s acted upon.

What these leftist Christians at The Gospel Coalition want us to
believe is that the desire for homosexuality, in and of itself, is not a
sin. The church, therefore, should embrace your “orientation” and
celebrate you for not practicing the sin you desire. While we should
certainly walk with and encourage one who struggles with sin and resists
its further cultivation, we cannot go so far as to deny that Same Sex
Attaction (SSA) even if not acted upon is itself a sin for which one
should repent.

Gilson, however, writes at TGC…

Lily was crushed. She’d told just a
member of her church her secret, and the member warned her that if
anyone else found out, she would probably lose her position teaching the
youth. What was this secret so deadly that she would be warned to hide
it?
Lily is same-sex attracted.
Neither the struggle nor the terror is
uncommon. How, then, do we create an environment in our churches, small
groups, and families where we can even have this conversation, where
Lily can share her struggle without fear?

First, we would hope and pray that the church is a “safe space” for
every sinner who desires to repent. That does not mean, however, that
someone who is struggling with the lust toward children should work in
the nursery. And if anyone says it’s apples and oranges, I’d dare them
to explain why then someone struggling with same-sex attraction should
be teaching impressionable youth of the same sex. It’s apples and
apples.

In the meantime, the term, “safe space,” was created by the
LGBTQXYZLMNOP cabal within educational institutions to “protect”
LGBTQXYZLMNOP individuals from being exposed to ideas or speech that
make them uncomfortable. Repentance is uncomfortable. Confessing any sin
– no matter what it is – is uncomfortable. Church is not the place to
go to feel comfortable. It is the place to go to hear about a wonderful
Savior who died for sins like Same Sex Attraction.

SHAMELESS: NO DEMOCRATS OR LEFT LEANING PUBLISHERS DENOUNCE SHOCKING ABUSES OF POWER DETAILED IN FISA MEMO RELEASE

SHAMELESS: NO DEMOCRATS OR LEFT LEANING PUBLISHERS DENOUNCE SHOCKING ABUSES OF POWER DETAILED IN FISA MEMO RELEASE
 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 (Natural News) The FISA memo release describes a shocking series of criminal 
abuses of power at the highest levels of the FBI and DOJ — all under Obama.



As the memo reveals, not only did top FBI and DOJ officials conspire to defraud the FISA court in order to illegally spy on American citizens, the key operatives in this process were fully aware they were committing law enforcement fraud during the entire process.
The abuse of power now evident at the highest levels of the Obama regime — which weaponized the
government to target and destroy political enemies — is the most
egregious political scandal in the history of this nation, easily
dwarfing the relatively minor events surrounding Watergate.

CONFIRMED: America was a police state under the Obama regime

Yet despite the shocking abuse of power that now confirms America functioned as a police state regime under Obama, the
criminal actions of top FBI / DOJ officials are not being called out by
a single prominent Democrat or left-wing media publisher. In every
single case, Democrats and fake news media outlets are choosing to
attack the FISA memo instead of apologizing for their role in
perpetuating these outrageous abuses of power that qualify as treason.
Remember: The entire purpose of this deep state operation was to remove a democratically elected President from power by
any means necessary, including the weaponization of police state powers
in a corrupt government that targeted American citizens.

To Democrats, there’s nothing wrong with government tyranny

It is stunning — and yet somehow entirely expected — that there isn’t
a single left-wing media outlet owning up to their role in this outrageous abuse of government police state powers. Mother Jones, Yahoo, CNN, NYT and the Washington Post were all complicit in this astonishing conspiracy.
To the left-wing media and Democrats, you see, there’s nothing wrong
with weaponizing government against your political enemies. After all,
that’s what Lois Lerner did at the IRS. It’s what the EPA did against
farmers and ranchers. It’s what the BLM did against ranchers in Nevada.
It’s what the ATF did against David Koresh in Waco, and it’s a perfect
reflection of the way totalitarian Democrat lawmakers and bureaucrats
see a “legitimate” role of Big Government: To destroy their political
opposition by any means necessary.
Astonishingly, this FISA memo release not only exposes the extreme corruption, collusion and criminality of the Obama / Clinton regime, it also exposes the willing complicity of Democrats and the left-wing media to willfully abuse government power in order to destroy a political target. They aren’t even pretending to
support democracy or the rule of law. They aren’t even pretending to
respect a democratic election or the will of the People. Instead, they
actively collude with deep state operatives to knowingly publish false,
dangerous and even treasonous lies in order to brainwash the
public into an angry rage that now infects the minds of millions of
Americans who follow left-wing #fakenews.
We are now entering an era of unprecedented weaponization of
the media, used against the People as a mind control “journo-terrorism”
institution. God help us all. Now, more than ever, you need to take a
stand for America and fight against the lies and deceptions of the
toxic, anti-American left-wing media.
