On December 15, 2021, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) re-released an op-ed titled “Love for Jesus Can Bring Christians and Muslims Together.”[1]  This op-ed was written by Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR’s current National Communications Director, and for a number of years it has been released annually before Christmas.

Hooper wrote:

As forces of hate in this country and worldwide try to pull Muslims and Christians apart, we are in desperate need of a unifying force that can bridge the widening gap of interfaith misunderstanding and mistrust. That force could be the message of love, peace, and forgiveness taught by Jesus and accepted by followers of both faiths. 

Spiritual Unity in the Koran?

After writing the above statement about a desperately needed “unifying force,” Hooper mentioned Koran 2:136:

Christians and Muslims would do well to consider another verse in the Quran reaffirming God’s eternal message of spiritual unity: “Say ye: ‘We believe in God and the revelation given to us and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and it is unto Him that we surrender ourselves.’” (2:136)

But Koran 2:136 does not reaffirm “God’s eternal message of spiritual unity” between Christians and Muslims.  In the first place, the “ye” to whom this verse is directed are the Muslims; in the second place, even though Hooper used the word “God” in this Koran verse, this verse actually refers to Allah, the god of Islam, and Allah’s revelation (the Koran), and in both of which Muslims must believe.[2]

Here it is important to understand that Allah, the god of Islam, is not the same as the God of Christians and Jews.  We know this because here is what Allah has to say in the Koran about Christians and Jews:

Allah states that the only religion acceptable to him is Islam (e.g., 3:19 and 3:85);  Christians and Jews are disbelievers[3] (e.g. 2:120, 3:99, 3:110, and 5:65), and Jews are among the worst enemies of Muslims (5:82); Allah curses Christians and Jews (9:30) and states that those who believe that Allah had a Son commit the one unforgivable sin in Islam, Shirk[4](e.g. 4:48 and 4:116); Allah states that those who commit Shirk will go to Hell (e.g. 3:151 and 5:72-73); Allah states that Christians and Jews are among the worst of creatures and “will abide in the fire of Hell” (98:6); Allah specifically forbids Muslims from being friends with Christians and Jews (5:51), and instead commands Muslims to fight Christians and Jews (9:29).

It is also important to note that Koran 2:136 states that Jesus is just another prophet and not, as Christians believe, the Son of God.

Where is the “spiritual unity” in this Koran verse that requires Christians to believe in Allah, the god of Islam, and the Koran, and to deny that Jesus is the Son of God?

Hooper’s claim of “spiritual unity” between Christians and Muslims is further undermined by the fact that Christianity is considered to be a false religion because Allah states that Jesus was not crucified, but it only appeared so (Koran 4:157-158).  Instead, Allah took Jesus, who was inside a house with his disciples, bodily into paradise and made one of Jesus’ disciples look like Jesus; it was that disciple who was crucified.[5]  So Muslims who know their religion look at a crucifix or a painting of the Crucifixion and see an imposter hanging on the cross.  And of course, if there was no Crucifixion, there was no Resurrection.  So Islam teaches that Christianity is a false religion based on fraud and the disciples who spread that religion knew about that fraud.

The “unifying force” of Jesus’ Message

As I pointed out above, Hooper wrote:

…we are in desperate need of a unifying force that can bridge the widening gap of interfaith misunderstanding and mistrust. That force could be the message of love, peace, and forgiveness taught by Jesus and accepted by followers of both faiths. 

Hooper quoted the following partial statement from Muhammad which seemed to imply that Jesus was the unifying figure for Christians and Muslims:

Prophet Muhammad said: “Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.”

But here is Muhammad’s actual statement, and in which he explained what Jesus’ message would really be when Jesus returned to earth:

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said, The Prophets are paternal brothers: their mothers are different, but their religion is one.  I, more than any of mankind, have more right to ‘Isa [Jesus], son of Maryam, for there was no Prophet between him and I.  He will descend… He will break the cross [destroy Christianity], kill the pig, and banish the Jizyah and will call the people to Islam.  During his time, Allah will destroy all religions except Islam…’Isa will remain for forty years and then will die, and Muslims will offer the funeral prayer for him. [6]

So according to Muhammad, Jesus would return to earth, destroy Christianity, and call people to Islam, while Allah would be destroying all the other religions.  Jesus, being only a man, would then die after forty years.

And according to Muhammad, during those forty years Jesus would be judging mankind by the laws of the Koran:

Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger said, “How will you be when the son of Maryam (Mary) [‘Isa (Jesus)] descends amongst you, and he will judge people by the law of the Qur’an and not by the law of the Gospel.”[7]

It appears that the Muslim Jesus will not have much “love, peace, and forgiveness” for Christians.

Conclusion

In his op-ed, Hooper acknowledged, without going into detail, that Christians and Muslims “do have some differing perspectives on Jesus’ life and teachings.”  But Hooper believed that the mutual love of Jesus by Christians and Muslims, and Jesus’ “message of love, peace and forgiveness,” would overcome those seemingly minimal differences and provide a “unifying force” for those two religions.

The reality is, as we have seen in this article, that there is a fundamental, irreconcilable difference in who Christians believe Jesus is, and who Muslims believe Jesus is.  Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, and Muslims believe Jesus is only a human prophet who will eventually return to earth and destroy Christianity while calling people to Islam.

In spite of what Hooper claims, there is no unifying force that can bridge these fundamentally different beliefs about Jesus, because only one can be true.

Biden Bans Conservatives and Christians from the Military If you “like” a pro-life group on Facebook, the new woke military will purge you.

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/12/biden-bans-conservatives-and-christians-military-daniel-greenfield/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Daniel Greenfield is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center specializing in investigative reporting on the Left and Islamic terrorism.

In Disloyal: How the Military Brass is Betraying Our Country, the David Horowitz Freedom Center had warned that the Countering Extremist Activity Working Group imposed by the Biden administration and headed by Bishop Garrison (pictured above), a racist who constantly accused Republicans of racism for the most frivolous reasons, was preparing to purge conservatives from the military.

Now the purge has arrived.

The first task of Garrison’s CEWG was to develop a new definition of extremism. The newly added definition, which takes effect immediately, doesn’t actually define extremism. Since extremism is inherently relative to someone else’s moderation, it can’t be legally defined. But the CEWG’s definition was cunningly written to target conservatives and protect leftists.

The majority of the definitions are already covered by existing military codes and laws against terrorism and treason. The only real addition here is the final definition of "extremism activities" which includes, "advocating widespread unlawful discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy), gender identity, or sexual orientation."

The wording initially appears generic, but it’s actually written to provide military leaders with wide latitude for targeting conservatives while exempting black nationalists like Garrison.

Racism is defined only in terms of “advocating discrimination” and only “unlawful discrimination”, unlike affirmative action or the discriminatory policies of the CEWG. This is in line with the leftist claim that racism can only be defined in terms of the power to discriminate and that therefore minority racists aren’t racist. Service members can be fans of black hate groups that promote racist hatred of white people because only advocacy for “unlawful discrimination” matters.

The new Department of Defense policy "prohibits active participation in extremist activities and clearly defines what we mean by the term extremist activities," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby falsely claimed. It actually defines almost nothing and that enables it to outlaw nearly anything.

Would Christians who oppose gay marriage fall afoul of this policy? Is anyone who donates to a church that advocates against gay marriage now deemed an “active participant” in “extremism”?

Biden’s definition of active participation includes, “fundraising for, or making personal contributions through donations of any kind (including but not limited to the solicitation, collection, or payment of fees or dues) to, a group or organization that engages in extremist activities.” Potentially donating to a traditionally biblical church or synagogue would mean violating the Biden administration’s new guidelines against active participation in extremism.

The result would almost certainly be a federal case that the Biden administration would lose, but how many members of the military want to spend years of their lives fighting for their careers?

The Biden administration’s leftist radicals are out to intimidate and they may well succeed.

It goes without saying that counterterrorism researchers warning about the national security threat of Islamization would be punished and that any service members who support or interact with a whole range of such organizations, including the Freedom Center and Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch are at risk. But so would a majority of service members who are at all conservative.

Garrison’s definition of extremism includes advocating for “discrimination” against “gender identity” which means that anyone opposed to teenage girls being forced to shower with men is now accused of being an extremist and that supporting virtually any conservative group effectively makes a member of the military into an “active participant” in “extremist activities”.

The purge goes even further, reaching out to punish anyone who engages “in electronic and cyber activities regarding extremist activities, or groups that support extremist activities – including posting, liking, sharing, re-tweeting, or otherwise distributing content”.

A service member who “likes” a Facebook post from a conservative group is now an “active participant” in “extremist activities”.

What about opposition to abortion?

The Garrison definition of extremism includes advocating for discrimination based on ”sex (including pregnancy)”. The pregnancy part of this might be an effort to silence military critics of pregnant women serving in combat roles. That’s another example of how the Biden political purge is meant to silence legitimate objections to absurd woke policies like the Navy’s new maternity flight suits. But it could be used to suppress pro-life views and church membership.

The question of whether the Equal Rights Amendment’s “on account of sex” language would protect abortion and enshrine it into the Constitution has been at the heart of the debate over the amendment. State ERAs have already been used to define opposition to abortion as a form of discrimination on account of sex.

The Countering Extremist Activity Working Group’s inclusion of ”sex (including pregnancy)” would potentially open the door to branding any member of the military who personally opposes abortion, donates to an anti-abortion group, or just a traditional church, or even likes a Facebook post by a pro-life group as an “active participant” in “extremism”.

Defenders of Biden’s military purge will insist that these are unlikely scenarios. Right up until the point where they begin happening. There is nothing in the wording of these new definitions of “extremism” and “active participation” to prevent service members from being targeted because of their membership in a traditional church or their conservative religious views. And since the military has traditionally received more leeway in restricting religious expression, court battles over these issues should not be viewed as a foregone conclusion. Furthermore, the existence of these codes creates an intimidating effect that suppresses speech and religious expression.

Exactly as they were designed to do.

"One extremist is one too many," Bishop Garrison had contended. The new definition is meant to screen out everyone whom Garrison, a supporter of black supremacists like Ta-Nehisi Coates and of extremist agendas like the 1619 Project, disagrees with. That means all conservatives.

Garrison, who defended bigots and extremists like Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and falsely accused Gov. Ron DeSantis of racism, has been allowed to impose his own discriminatory regime on the military.

And that must not be allowed to stand.

The new purge "preserves a service member's right of expression to the extent possible”, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby argued. That statement is as un-American as it gets.

There will almost certainly be legal battles over this, but it will be on Congress and the next administration to make it clear to future military leaders that they must rescind or at least dramatically revise Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1325.06 if they want to lead.

And any presidential candidate or congressional member must commit to opposing any military leader who does not agree to remove DoDI 1325.06 and protect political and religious liberty.

The military leaders complicit in this disgrace are the products of Democrat and Republican administrations. If conservatives don’t firmly demand and hold presidential and congressional candidates accountable for undoing this, the radicals will take over the military the way that they control academia, the media, and the corporate spheres. That means ignoring the happy talk, the virtue signaling, the empty distractions, and demanding that the politicians actually do it.

The military is the most conservative branch of the government. The purge of conservatives from the military is a political coup. Under the guise of outlawing discrimination, the Biden administration is engaging in the most dangerous and pervasive discrimination imaginable.

This is a critical threat. It’s one that the David Horowitz Freedom Center took the lead in warning against. Now that it’s embedded in the military, the career brass that the DHFC warned against in Disloyal: How the Military Brass is Betraying Our Country will do everything possible to retain it even under another Republican administration. The leaders, as we’ve warned, have to go.

New leaders must commit to a merit-based military free of discriminatory “equity” measures and political purges that is built from the ground up to fight and to win for America.

Or else we will have lost the military and the war.

Kidnapped Missionaries Made a Daring Overnight Escape from Captors in Haiti

Christian Aid Ministries is revealing the stunning details of how their missionaries finally escaped captivity in Haiti, and it sounds like something straight out of a movie. The remaining group of 12 missionaries made a daring overnight escape last week, eluding their kidnappers and walking for miles over difficult, moonlit terrain with an infant and other children in tow.

FROM: http://www.beachyam.org/ministries_CAM.htm

Christian Aid Ministries (CAM), based in Ephrata, PA, is a para-church organization that provides relief efforts during disasters and in impoverished areas. While CAM is not exclusively a Beachy Amish-Mennonite organization, the Beachy Amish-Mennonites have been instrumental in its growth and ongoing operation. Various conservative groups, including the Amish and conservative Mennonites, support and volunteer in CAM's efforts. CAM efforts circle the globe; volunteers are found in areas devastated by floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires.

Work continues outside periods of disaster. CAM volunteers staff and sponsor clinics in rural areas of developing countries, providing donated medicine and supplies. Volunteers also collect and disseminate clothing packs and school kits. With financial donations and gifts in kind, CAM is a multimillion-dollar organization with one of the lowest overheads / operating costs of any non-profit organization in North America. Nearly all money and supplies given to CAM go to field projects.

Christian Aid Ministries is revealing the stunning details of how their missionaries finally escaped captivity in Haiti, and it sounds like something straight out of a movie.

The remaining group of 12 missionaries made a daring overnight escape last week, eluding their kidnappers and walking for miles over difficult, moonlit terrain with an infant and other children in tow.

The group used the stars as their guide to reach freedom after a two-month kidnapping ordeal, officials with the Ohio-based agency said Monday at a press conference.

“The hostages were sensing God nudging them to attempt an escape,” said the ministry’s spokesman Weston Showalter. “Over the time of their captivity, God gave various hostages a desire to attempt an escape.”

“To attempt such a thing would be dangerous,” he continued. “They sought God over and over again seeking direction from Him.”  

“After much discussion and prayer, they became solidly united that God seemed to be leading them this way.” He said they sought specific signs from God, and He confirmed over and over that the timing wasn’t right yet. Then, the night of Wednesday, December 15 arrived.

“When they sensed the timing was right, they found a way to open the door that was closed and blocked, filed silently to the path that they had chosen to follow, and quickly left the place that they were held despite the fact that numerous guards were close by,” Showalter said. “In the distance, they could see a mountain feature that they had recognized and identified in the previous days. They identified this landmark before and they knew that this was the direction they needed to go. They also followed the sure guidance of the stars as they journeyed through the night, traveling toward safety.”

“After a number of hours of walking, the day began to dawn and they eventually found someone who helped to make a phone call for help,” he said, his voice beginning to choke. “They were finally free.”

The ministry had revealed on Thursday that the missionaries were finally free but it wasn’t clear if they were freed by ransom since their captors had demanded $1 million for each of the 17 hostage missionaries.  

All the members of the group are reportedly in good shape and are now back home with their families. 

David Troyer, general director of the ministry, also gave a special message for the kidnappers, offering forgiveness from the ministry and salvation through Jesus Christ.

“We do not know all of the challenges you face. We do believe that violence and oppression of others can never be justified. You caused our hostages and their families a lot of suffering. However, Jesus taught us by word and by His own example that the power of forgiving love is stronger than the hate of violent force. Therefore, we extend forgiveness to you,” Troyer said in a statement.  

“The hostages told you plainly how you can also be forgiven by God if you repent. Our desire is that you and all who hear or read this statement may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Son of God, and the Prince of Peace,” the statement concluded. 

As CBN News reported last week, Christian Aid Ministries announced the 12 remaining hostages were free but offered few details about their release.

The nightmare began on Oct. 16 when the 17 missionaries were kidnapped while traveling to a Haitian orphanage in Ganthier, in the Croix-des-Bouquets area. The group included 16 Americans and one Canadian. Among those abducted were five children, including an 8-month-old.

In November, the 400 Mawozo gangsters released two hostages and then freed three more in early December.  

Christian Aid Ministries offered thanks to the U.S. government for helping get their members safely home and offered thanks to everyone who upheld them in prayer. “We say THANK YOU to the multitudes of people worldwide who prayed, who cared, who wept with us, and who sent notes of encouragement to the families of the hostages. You cannot know how big a blessing you all were and are!”

Why Christians Must Prepare For Facebook’s “The Metaverse”

SEE: https://americanfaith.com/why-christians-must-prepare-for-the-metaverse/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(GAB News) The tech oligarchs are all in on the “metaverse” as the new system of enslavement and control. The metaverse is an immersive virtual world where people will be working, playing, and existing. The theory is they put on a headset and slip away into virtual “reality” where they will spend all of their time.

Mark Zuckerberg is so invested in making this vision come to life that he has renamed Facebook’s parent company to “Meta” and has dramatically shifted the entire mission of his company.

Disney’s CEO called it “the future” this week and is foaming at the mouth at the thought of having your kids plugged into a Disney “reality” every hour of the day.

The satanic globalist elite envision a future where all of us are plugged into their Matrix that they control all day long. When this happens they can control our minds even more than they do today through their social engineering that goes on in our news feeds and on our television screens. They will determine what “reality” is.

This of course is all part of their much bigger vision for transhumanism. While we are all distracted and sucked into their virtual world for all hours of the day, they will be working hard in the real world to ascend beyond humanity and become “gods.” They will fail of course, but that doesn’t mean they won’t do everything they can to enslave and extort the rest of us while trying.

This is all a lot for many Christians to ponder, but it’s absolutely essential that we start thinking about these things right now so we can have a plan of attack for when these virtual worlds start popping up.

We must prevent our children from participating in the Enemy’s virtual worlds at all costs.

We must build our own parallel virtual worlds using technology for the glory of God and develop a moral framework that is grounded in the Word of God.

We must prepare to send virtual missionaries into enemy worlds to spread the Gospel and the Truth of God’s Word.

We must not fear this new technology, we must embrace it early and understand it fully so we can gain an early foothold for the Lord.

It would be foolish to simply ignore this. This is happening. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but sometime very soon. You’ll see your children and grandchildren start to take interest in these virtual worlds, which is exactly the target demographic of the elites. They want our children. This isn’t news. The metaverse is just their latest iteration and angle of attack for accomplishing that.

So we must be prepared to offer God-glorifying alternatives. We must answer the call to enter into enemy territory and wage a virtual crusade on the metaverses of Facebook, Google, Disney, and whoever else enters the arena.

God is allowing this technology to be built during our lifetimes for a reason. We must learn, adapt, build, and strategize for how we will use it to bring glory to His name and advance His Kingdom.

Archaeological Remains of Jihadist Massacre of Christians Unearthed

And it's every bit as gruesome as what history records.

BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/12/archaeological-remains-jihadist-massacre-raymond-ibrahim/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

A piece of history from the long war between Islam and the West was recently unearthed: a mass grave of 25 Crusaders who were attacked from behind and/or beheaded in the thirteenth century.  According to one report,

A team of international archaeologists uncovered the gruesome scene at Sidon Castle on the eastern Mediterranean coast of south Lebanon.  Wounds on the remains suggest the soldiers died at the end of swords, maces, and arrows, and charring on some bones means they were burned after being dropped into the pit.  Other remains show markings on the neck, which likely means these individuals were captured on the battlefield and later decapitated….  Archaeologists knew the remains belonged to Crusaders after discovering the European-style belt buckles and a crusader coin within the graves.  DNA and isotope analyses of their teeth further confirmed that some of the men were born in Europe, while others were the offspring of crusader settlers who migrated to the “Holy Land” and intermarried with local people….   The way the body parts were positioned suggests they had been left to decompose on the surface before being dropped into a pit sometime later. Charring on some bones suggests they used fire to burn some of the bodies.

Archaeologists determined that these Christians were likely slaughtered around the middle of the thirteenth century, around the time of the Seventh Crusade (1248-1254) of King Louis IX, better known as Saint Louis.

Interestingly, this discovery is a physical reflection and manifest proof of what history so vividly records from that era.  Then, the Mamluks—ferocious Islamic slave-soldiers who overthrew their Ayyubid masters— came to power, first in Egypt in 1250, and then into the Levant.  For decades they warred on and terrorized the remaining Crusader kingdoms along the coast (including Sidon) until 1291, when, with the sack of Acre, the Muslims were finally able to expel the Crusaders from the Holy Land.

The wars and atrocities committed during these decades are many.  Moreover, and despite the fact that many modern historians underplay the religious element, these wars were exemplified by an extreme jihadist hatred for Christianity and everything it represents.  Thus, after the first Mamluk sultan, Baibars (r.1260-77), had sacked the Crusader kingdom of Antioch in 1268—the “single greatest massacre of the entire crusading era,” according to Thomas Madden—he wrote a letter gloating over what took place in explicitly jihadist terms.  Addressed to Bohemond VI, lord of Antioch, who was not present at the time of its fall, an excerpt follows:

You would have seen your knights prostrated beneath the horses’ hooves, your houses stormed by pillagers and ransacked by looters … your women sold four at a time and bought for a dinar of your [own] money! You would have seen the crosses in your churches smashed, the pages of the false Testaments scattered, the Patriarchs’ tombs overturned. You would have seen your Muslim enemy trampling on the place where you celebrate the mass, cutting the throats of monks, priests, and deacons upon the altars, bringing sudden death to the Patriarchs and slavery to the royal princes. You would have seen fire running through your palaces, your dead burned …, your palace lying unrecognizable, the church of St. Paul and that of Qusyan [Cathedral of Saint Peter] pulled down and destroyed.

In other words, the 25 slaughtered, beheaded, and/or burned Christians recently discovered are just the tip of the iceberg of massacres perpetrated against the Christians of the Holy Land.

As for the specifics revolving around that particular mass grave unearthed in Sidon,  according to Dr. Piers Mitchell of the University of Cambridge, the Crusader expert working with the archaeologists,

Crusader records tell us that King Louis IX of France was on crusade in the Holy Land at the time of the attack on Sidon in 1253.   He went to the city after the battle and personally helped to bury the rotting corpses in mass graves such as these. Wouldn’t it be amazing if King Louis himself had helped to bury these bodies?

Ironically, even that incident, when Louis buried the putrid remains of butchered Christians, was recorded by eyewitnesses.  The account of William of Chartres, who was present, follows:

Also, I must not pass over in silence this thing, which perfectly pronounces the fervor and humility of the faith of this king [Louis]: while on his way to Sidon he heard about the Christians …  who had been slain there by the army of Damascus; that many of their bodies and limbs lay completely unburied on the shore. Our pious king, without pausing to eat, went there straightaway …  Now, although all the others who were present reacted as though they had some sort of loathing and dread of picking up the bodies and gathering the now half-rotten, hacked-off limbs or touching the bones, our devout, greathearted king himself, as though having and sensing no repulsion, was there from morning even until noon … with his very own hands so benevolently gathering up the limbs and entrails of these Christians, whom he considered to be martyrs, so sweetly handling and gathering them up and placing them in containers to be carried to their place of burial, which he had made near the camp. Everyone there, and many who had fled the ghastly endeavor, marveled at his magnanimous humility.

It is due to such consistent behavior that King Louis IX became Saint Louis—and why a major American city in Missouri was named after him.

Today, of course, his statue, which has stood in the city of St. Louis for more than a hundred years, is under assault by BLM and Muslim activists, on the claim that Louis was an “Islamophobe” and a “racist.”

3 more hostages OUT OF 17 released in Haiti, Christian aid group says~TERRORIST GANG WANTS $17 MILLION RANSOM

Missionaries pray for Haiti captives, kidnappers

SEE: https://christianaidministries.org/updates/haiti-staff-abduction/

(18 Oct 2021) A missionary worker who has met with the families of those kidnapped in Haiti says they pray for both the captives and the kidnappers. At the Christian Aid Ministry in Berlin, Ohio, missionary Tirtzah Rarick visited with family members of the kidnapped. She spoke to reporters afterward. American officials are working with Haitian authorities to try to secure the release of the 12 adults and five children connected with the Ohio-based mission, who were abducted over the weekend by a gang notorious for killings, kidnappings and extortion. Police say the group was snatched Saturday by the 400 Mawozo gang in an area east of the capital of Port-au-Prince. Christian Aid Ministries said the kidnapped group included seven women, five men and five children, including a 2-year-old. The organization said they were taken while on a trip to visit an orphanage.

Haiti gang leader threatens to kill kidnapped missionaries

Haitian gang demands $17 million in ransom for abducted missionaries

The "400 Mawozo" gang in Haiti is demanding $1 million for each of the 17 missionaries it has abducted. The group was kidnapped last weekend just outside of the capital of Port-au-Prince. Gang activity has been on the rise following the assassination of the country's president in July. Robert Fatton, Jr. is the Julia A.

Three more members of a group of 17 hostages kidnapped in Haiti in October were released Sunday night, according to a statement from the US-based Christian Aid Ministries.

“We are thankful to God that three more hostages were released last night. Those who were released are safe and seem to be in good spirits. As with the previous release, we are not able to provide the names of the people released, the circumstances of the release, or any other details,” the statement said.

A young American child and their American mother were among the three missionary hostages released Sunday, according to a US official familiar with the matter.

The State Department welcomed the reports of their release.

“We welcome reports that three individuals held hostage in Haiti have been released. Due to operational and security considerations, we have no further comment,” a State Department spokesperson said. 

Members of the group of 16 Americans and one Canadian had been working as missionaries when they were kidnapped by the Haitian gang 400 Mawozo while traveling by car northeast of the capital, Port-au-Prince, on October 16. 

The hostages included an infant, a 3-year-old, and a 6-year-old, as well as two young teenagers. All hail from Amish, Mennonite, and other conservative Anabaptist communities across six US states and Ontario. 

Two other hostages were released last month. Twelve of the 17 kidnapped remain in captivity.

No details on whether or not ransoms have been paid have yet emerged. The captors had demanded $1 million per hostage, Haitian Justice and Interior Minister Liszt Quitel previously told CNN.

Kidnappings for ransom in Haiti are widespread and often indiscriminate, targeting rich and poor, young and old. 

Rising crime has accompanied political instability in the country, with kidnappings spiking in the months after the July assassination of President Jovenel Moise, according to local human rights organization CARDH. 

The 400 Mawozo group is particularly notorious for group kidnappings.

Debate Video: Is Islam More Violent than Christianity? Dr. Javad T. Hashmi vs. Robert Spencer

The debate was this afternoon. Dr. Hashmi, as you’ll see if you watch to the end, apparently thought that the question at hand was “Is the United States more violent than Islam?”. The debate was wide-ranging, covering a large expanse of Christian history and the question of its relevance, and the unanswered questions of why Christianity is not violent today while there is so much violence in Islam. Much of the usual arrogance and condescension from Islamic apologists are on display, but to what effect is an open question.

After the debate, Hashmi outed himself as this scam artist.

American Faith: Christianity on trial in Finland as Bible is deemed ‘hate speech’

PUNISHED For His Faith: Bishop Juhana Pohjola on Federalist Radio Hour

Paul Coleman Relays Legal Cases of Hate Speech Charges for Teaching Biblical Sexuality

Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International, joins Tony Perkins to discuss the cases of Päivi Räsänen, Finland's former Interior Minister and leader of the Christian Democrats, and Rev Dr. Juhana Pohjola, Bishop-Elect of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland. They have both been criminally charged under a Finnish hate speech law for sharing what the Bible teaches about human sexuality.

Religious liberties are in danger.

Religious liberties are in danger in Finland, and Christianity has a giant target on its back.

In a court case with monumental implications, a pastor and a member of the Finnish Parliament are on trial for their faith. Juhana Pohjola, 49, faces criminal charges for teaching the Christian word that has been established for thousands of years.

Pohjola has ministered to small delegations of only dozens and has worked a lifetime building a tight-knit network of churches across Finland. Many of the humble churches started as a handful of people gathering for Bible study, singing hymns, prayer, and communion.

Many of the humble churches started as a handful of people gathering for Bible study, singing hymns, prayer, and communion.

But Pohjola’s life work faces a harrowing test of persecution when he and Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen go to trial on January 24th.

What’s the accusation against Pohjola and Räsänen?

Hate speech!

The Federalist wrote:

Rasanen’s alleged crimes in a country that claims to guarantee freedom of speech and religion include tweeting a picture of a Bible verse. Potential penalties if they are convicted include fines and up to two years in prison.

Finnish Authorities: The Bible Is Hate Speech

Rasanen and Pohjola are being charged with “hate speech” for respectively writing and publishing a 24-page 2004 booklet that explains basic Christian theology about sex and marriage, which reserves sex exclusively for within marriage, which can only consist of one man and one woman, for life. The Finnish prosecutor claims centuries-old Christian teachings about sex “incite hatred” and violate legal preferences for government-privileged identity groups.

For a country that supposedly believes in free speech and religion, this prosecution is nothing more than a witch hunt.

The American Conservative noted:

Päivi Räsänen is a member of the Finnish Parliament from the Christian Democratic Party, and a practicing Lutheran. She is also facing hate speech investigations for having questioned publicly her own church leaders’ decision to affirm LGBT pride. Now, the Finnish police have expanded the investigation to consider charges against her over a 2004 pamphlet she wrote defending the Lutheran Church’s traditional teaching about marriage (which entails denying that same-sex marriage is a real marriage). It’s worth noting that Räsänen wrote that pamphlet seven years before LGBT was added to the national hate-speech law as a protected class. She was investigated once before for the pamphlet, and cleared — but now she’s going to undergo another interrogation.

Below is a screenshot of the tweet that started the persecution:

Pohjola and Räsänen have faced relentless interrogation from police about their theology, and Finnish authorities admit their interpretation of Finland’s law makes publishing the Bible a hate crime.

The case is expected to have major international implications for freedom of speech and religious liberty in Western society.

The Federalist explained:

“Although all European countries have these hate speech laws, and these hate speech laws are increasingly being used against citizens for things that they say, this is the first time we’ve really seen Christians face criminal prosecution for explaining their biblical views,” Coleman said. “…It’s unprecedented. We’ve not seen attacks on free speech on this level in Europe, and that’s why they are extremely important cases, not just for the people of Finland and Paivi Rasanen and the bishop themselves, but for all of Europe. If this is upheld in one jurisdiction, we will no doubt see it in other jurisdictions as well.”

Such “hate speech” laws exist in every European country and Western countries such as Canada and Australia, and descend from Soviet influence. Coleman called them “sleeper laws,” saying that in other countries “they could be used any time just like they are in Finland. People need to mobilize against these laws and overturn them.”

ADF International is providing legal support for the cases and noted the grave dangers to freedom of speech:

“Freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones of democracy. The Finnish Prosecutor General’s decision to bring these charges against Dr. Räsänen creates a culture of fear and censorship. If committed civil servants like Päivi Räsänen are criminally charged for voicing their deeply held beliefs, it creates a chilling effect for everyone’s right to speak freely, ”said Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International and author of “Censored“.

Biden Admin Goes Back to Obama’s Coverup of Christian Persecution in Nigeria

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

The Obama administration’s actions in Nigeria are one of its great unmentioned crimes against humanity.

The Obama-Biden regime did its best to block efforts to list Boko Haram as a terrorist organization despite its horrifying massacres of Christians. And did everything possible to bring down Nigeria’s Christian president and replace him with its former Muslim dictator.

Obama and Hillary resisted doing anything about Boko Haram because they believed that its root cause was the oppression of Muslims by the Nigerian government. Across the bloody years of Boko Haram terror, the State Department matched empty condemnations of Boko Haram’s killing sprees with condemnations of the Nigerian authorities for violating Muslim rights.

State Department officials responded to Boko Haram attacks over the years with the same litany of statistics about unemployment in the Muslim north and the 92 percent of children there who do not attend school. When Hillary Clinton was asked about the kidnappings by ABC News, she blamed Nigeria for not “ensuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school.”

Two years ago the New York Times ran an op-ed titled, “In Nigeria, Boko Haram Is Not the Problem.”

The op-ed contended that Boko Haram didn’t exist, that it was a peaceful splinter group and that the Nigerian army was worse than Boko Haram. Somehow these three claims were made on the same page.  The editorial warned the US not to give the impression that it supports Nigeria’s Christian president or it would infuriate Muslims and suggested that Christians might really be behind the Muslim terror attacks.

At the end of April, Daniel Benjamin, from the State Department’s Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, testifying at the House Foreign Affairs Committee, denied that Boko Haram was affiliated with Al-Qaeda, while conceding that its members were probably being trained by Al-Qaeda. Benjamin then stated that the State Department’s response to the Islamic genocide of Christians by Jihadists in the Muslim north was “to press for a change to its (Nigeria’s) heavy-handed approach to the security threats in the north”.

Johnnie Carson, the Assistant Secretary at the Bureau of African Affairs, in his remarks on Nigeria, claimed bizarrely, that despite a campaign of violence focused heavily around attacks on churches, “Religion is not driving extremist violence in either Jos or Northern Nigeria” and warned the Nigerian government to “avoid excessive violence”.

The same old games are coming back during Obama’s third term.

Christian groups, a U.S. government panel and former senior U.S. diplomats are furious over Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s decision to take Nigeria off a list of countries accused of engaging in or tolerating religious persecution.

Blinken’s decision was revealed last week just before he visited Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and one where Muslim-Christian tensions have long flared.

State Department officials gave no reason for the move other than saying Blinken, upon the advice of various department sections, decided Nigeria didn’t meet the legal threshold to be named as “country of particular concern” in an annual religious freedom list released by the secretary of State. They denied the decision’s unveiling was linked to Blinken’s trip but couldn’t fully explain the timeline.

The Jihad always gets a pass from the Obama-Biden boys.

Egypt: Teachers and students beat up Coptic Christian children for wearing crosses

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

The question does not get asked often enough: why is it that certain barbaric behaviors are accepted when they come from one group, but not from others? In no Western country, nor in Israel, would it be acceptable for a teacher and students to beat up students who were of a different religion, and elementary-age children to boot. There would be a thunderous global outcry if Jewish or Christian teachers beat up Muslim students for being Muslims, but of course, that wouldn’t happen and shouldn’t happen. Yet a similar incident did happen in Egypt, as Muslim teachers and students ganged up on students who were Christians and beat them up. Why? Because they were Christians and were wearing Christian emblems.

Yet Westerners who point out the truth about Muslim persecution of Christians and other religious minorities are regularly referred to as “Islamophobes,” while Israel (where Christians can live in peace and where Muslims are even welcomed in the Knesset) is branded as an “apartheid” state.

The Islamic supremacist mission is to Islamize everywhere and proclaim only one dominant religion: Islam, all while the willfully blind look the other way in fear, in hopes that 1400 years of consistent practice will magically vanish. Appeasement causes Islamic supremacist abuse and discrimination everywhere to escalate.

“Christian students in Egypt beaten at school, ordered by teachers to remove all jewelry bearing a cross,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, November 21, 2021:

Coptic students at an elementary and middle school in Egypt’s Minya Governorate were beaten up by teachers and fellow students after the headmaster ordered all Christian students to remove any jewelry bearing a cross.

Believers in the Coptic community in Egypt often tattoo a cross on their wrist or wear necklaces or bracelets with a cross, but the headmaster of Al-Thawra school in Ezbat Beshri area ordered all Christian students to remove any such jewelry, according to the U.S.-based persecution watchdog International Christian Concern.

When some Coptic students refused to remove their jewelry, they were beaten up by fellow students and their teachers, the group added.

Citing one such incident in early November, ICC said a female teacher attacked a male Christian student, then encouraged other students to do the same and take his cross pendant and destroy it.

When Coptic parents learned about the order and the subsequent violence carried out against their children, they complained to education authorities. However, ICC said it’s unclear if the educational board took any action.

“The role of the teachers and administrative leaders in the incident is particularly concerning regarding the rhetoric being taught to the youth as it was the adults who led the persecution against the Christian children,” ICC said.

The Copts, who make up about 10% of Egypt’s population, are the descendants of a long line of ancient Egyptians who later converted to Christianity in the early first century, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

According to the Christian persecution watchdog group Open Doors USA, Egypt is one of the 20 worst persecutors of Christians in the world.

Incidents of Christian persecution in Egypt vary from Christian women being harassed while walking in the street to Christian communities being driven out of their homes by extremist mobs, the group says on its website.

The Minya Governate is notorious for having the highest number of attacks on Christians, it adds.

Egypt’s government speaks positively about Egypt’s Christian community, but the lack of serious law enforcement and the unwillingness of local authorities to protect Christians leave them vulnerable to all kinds of attacks, especially in Upper Egypt, it explains. “Due to the dictatorial nature of the regime, neither church leaders nor other Christians are in a position to speak out against these practices.”…..

FBI SWAT TEAM & POLICE Raid House of Activist Mom Who Opposes School Boards’ Policies, Alleged Election Fraud

An FBI Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, along with state and local authorities, raided the home of an activist mother of four in Grand Junction, Colorado, on Tuesday.

Sherronna Bishop is a mother of four, a constitutional conservative, and an American patriot who “tenaciously defends core values of God-fearing Patriots who do not want to lose the freedoms and rights of all citizens who live in the greatest nation in the world,” according to her bio on the Truth and Liberty Coalition website.

Bishop also runs the “America’s Mom” platform dedicated to parents’ education on Colorado legislation concerning public schools.

Bishop has been a vocal opponent of the indoctrination of American children in the public schools and has been involved in local school board and congressional races.

On Tuesday morning, Bishop was schooling her children when she heard a “profuse pounding” on her door. After she asked her children to hide in their bedroom, she went to the door just as the SWAT team broke it down with a battering ram. Then they took Bishop outside and handcuffed her, according to her interview with Brannon Howse on World View Weekend. 

The activist mom also said how involved she personally was in local school board recalls and reelections, and that her organization helped flip nine of them this year. Bishop and her group rallied against mask mandates and Critical Race Theory being taught in schools. Bishop believes that such activism made her a target of the regime:

According to this illegitimate [Biden] regime that is running this country, people like me are now considered domestic terrorists now, because we advocate for our own children, we stand up for them, and we don’t allow the state or the system to abuse them.

Commenting on why the FBI would violently burst into her home, Bishop said that the FBI agents refused to inform her of the reason for the raid. After the search was finished, however, they left behind papers relating to their search warrant indicating that Bishop was suspected of causing “intentional damage to a protected computer, wire fraud and conspiracy to cause damage to a protected computer,” the mom said. Bishop added that she was neither a violent person nor a criminal.

She continued,

I don’t know anything about this. They couldn’t explain any of this. I will tell you why: they were at my home to intimidate me, to shut me up, because I was using my First Amendment rights to advocate for [Mesa County Clerk] Tina Peters on the issue of Dominion [voting machines] and the damage done in our election. And they’ll never be held accountable. Instead, they will criminalize this woman who has stood up.

Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters’ home, along with the homes of three of Peters’ associates, including Bishop, who also served as Representative Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) former campaign manager, was raided by the FBI the same morning, “apparently over a leak of election data from an as yet unidentified leaker to QAnon conspiracy theorists,” per Daily Beast.

Bishop also stressed that if there were any concerns in regard to her activities, she has always been responsive and available, and there was no “emergency” to violently raid her house, bash in her door, scare her children, and “manhandle” her teenage daughter and put her in handcuffs.

As quoted by Leo Hohmann, the Mike Lindell-affiliated World View Weekend had just “concluded a series of interviews with a panel of four retired FBI agents in which they had described similar raids against non-violent patriotic Americans over the last few years, starting with Gen. Michael Flynn in 2016, followed by the pre-dawn raid on author and Trump ally Roger Stone in 2019 and then the violent entering of journalist James O’Keefe of Project Veritas just last week.”

Brian Shepard, a former FBI special agent, said that the agency does not typically conduct a search or an arrest of someone who was not a violent offender.

The events in Grand Junction came on the heels of the recently revealed information on the FBI utilizing anti-terrorist tools against concerned parents.

The developments within the FBI’s Counterterrorism and Criminal Divisions were made in response to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memorandum issued on October 4, in which he expressed the Department’s commitment “to using its authority and resources to discourage these threats [to the school boards and schools officials], identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate.”

On October 21, Garland testified to the Judiciary Committee that he could not “imagine any circumstance in which the Patriot Act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children, nor … a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorists.”

The FBI opened an investigation for an alleged security breach involving elections equipment in Mesa County earlier this year against Peters and her associates.  

On Wednesday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and 21st Judicial District Attorney Dan Rubinstein released a statement saying,

Yesterday, the 21st Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office — along with our FBI partners — conducted authorized enforcement actions in support of an ongoing investigation into the alleged election system breach in Mesa County.… We will continue to conduct a thorough investigation based on facts and the law, including using proper law enforcement tools such as the judicially authorized search that was executed properly in this matter.

Bishop, however, indicated that she won’t be silenced, and called on other parents like her to stay strong. She concluded the interview by saying that parents “have got to stand up and find a way to find their voice” before their door is bashed in and they are handcuffed. “I would not wait for that,” the mom added.

APOSTATE Evangelist Franklin Graham develops pericarditis, undergoes heart surgery after aggressively pushing covid “vaccines” on Christians

(Natural News) Preacher and evangelist Franklin Graham was recently hospitalized for pericarditis, an inflammatory heart condition commonly associated with Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination.”

Roughly eight months ago, Graham was pushing covid shots on his Facebook account, claiming that “if Jesus were physically walking the earth now,” he would “be an advocate for vaccines.”

“My answer [is] that based on the parable of the Good Samaritan in the Bible, I would have to say – yes, I think Jesus Christ would advocate for people using vaccines and medicines to treat suffering and save lives,” Graham added in his post about his response when asked if Fauci Flu shots should be taken by Christians.

Months after stating this blasphemy, Graham, who presumably got jabbed in obedience to the government, had to undergo specialized heart surgery to deal with severe inflammation of the pericardium, which is a sac that surrounds the heart.

“I want people to know that COVID-19 can kill you,” Graham further shilled in months past, prior to when he developed this serious heart condition.

“But we have a vaccine out there that could possibly save your life. And if you wait, it could be too late.”

Graham previously gave an interview with Axios that appeared on HBO in which he pleaded with Christians to take the injections because that is supposedly what Jesus would have done.

Franklin Graham accepted the lie and spread it to his followers

The timing of Graham’s hospital admission on November 8 strongly suggests that he experienced a serious adverse reaction from getting injected himself.

According to reports, Graham was admitted to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where surgeons removed his pericardium.

“I want to thank all of you who have prayed for me and shared such encouraging words after my surgery,” Graham’s account tweeted two days after the surgery.

“It means more than you know. I thank God for the good reports. My doctors say I’m doing well and recovering normally.”

Pericarditis and myocarditis, two different yet similar forms of heart inflammation, are a common occurrence post-injection for the Chinese Virus. These two conditions are the primary reason why Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark have suspended the use of Moderna’s mRNA (messenger RNA) injection.

Taiwan has also suspended the second dose of Pfizer’s mRNA injection for teenagers due to the same problem: recipients continue to develop serious inflammatory heart conditions, which in some cases result in death.

Graham did not even mention the vaccines in his thank-you tweet, however. Instead, he chose to ignore the elephant in the room and pretend as though the injections had nothing to do with his new heart condition (assuming he got injected, of course).

Since he was pushing them so aggressively on Christians, Graham more than likely took the injections himself. This would explain why he developed heart inflammation seemingly out of the blue.

“How much did he get for supporting the lie?” asked one commenter at The Covid World blog. “Jesus and God provided healthy plants for our bodies and non-GMO foods … for starters … what a freak.”

“He is a freemason like his dad so it is expected,” responded another, referring to the late evangelist Billy Graham.

“Jesus raised people from the dead; he didn’t need biological weapons,” wrote another about how the real Jesus Christ would never have promoted these injections, which are clearly part of the Mark of the Beast system that is rapidly being unveiled.

“All vaccines have toxins in them and we have been lied to for decades about them. The drug companies inject people with aluminum, mercury, and other things that cause all kinds of problems through life and make a person a continual customer for the drug companies. If you follow Jesus, you wouldn’t recommend these or any vaccines.”
