Bishops Discuss Middle East Threats to Christians

Concerns of christian persecution…

Bishops Discuss Middle East Threats to Christians

A two-week conference of bishops is underway in the Vatican to discuss the future of the dwindling Middle East’s Muslim-threatened Christian communities.

Pope Benedict XVI has convened Catholic bishops from all over the Middle East to discuss and debate how to save the minority Christian communities in the area. Issues under discussion include strife in Iraq, the Israeli-Arab conflict, radical Islam, the divisions among the region’s many Christian churches, and the economic situation.

While Christian demographics in the Middle East vary from country to country, the overall trend is the same: down. Christians currently account for some 5 percent of the region’s population, compared with some 20 percent 100 years ago. In Turkey, for instance, where the Christian minority numbered 20 percent a century ago, it today is one-hundredth of that, or 0.2 percent of the total population.

The Almighty, Liberals and Liberty

Posted in Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , on October 20, 2010|

Great commentary of the situation we find ourselves in…

The Almighty, Liberals and Liberty

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In a recent column, New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow wrote: “It’s sometimes easy to lose sight of just how anomalous our (America’s) religiosity is in the world. A Gallup report issued on Tuesday underscored just how out of line we are.”

Given Blow’s leftwing politics and his point was that all rich countries except for the United States are secular and that all poor countries are religious, he was obviously not making this point in order to celebrate America’s “anomalous” religiosity.

He should have. America’s anomalous religiosity is very much worth celebrating — not because it leads to affluence, but because it is indispensible to liberty. Had Blow made a liberty chart rather than an affluence chart, he might have noted that the freest country in the world — for 234 years — the United States of America, has also been the most G0d-centered.

Yes, I know that the Islamic world has also been G0d-based and that it has not been free. But that is because Allah is not regarded as the source of liberty, as the America’s Judeo-Christian G0d has been, but as the object of submission (“Islam” means “submission”).

Muslim Brotherhood ‘declares war’ on U.S.

Posted in Christian Persecution, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , on October 12, 2010|

Bold moves, do you think they sense weakness?  The Muslim Brotherhood is on practically every US college campus.  This is very disturbing.  I thought they were a tolerant and peaceful religion?

Muslim Brotherhood ‘declares war’ on U.S.

Analyst compares leader’s sermon to bin Laden’s pre-9/11 warning

Five years before the 9/11 attacks, al-Qaida declared war on America, the West, Christians and Jews – and virtually no one noticed.

Now, a longtime observer of Islam is warning that a “war declaration” of potentially much greater significance has been made.

The Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Badi, who was elected only months ago, has “endorsed anti-American Jihad and pretty much every element in the al-Qaida ideology book,” writes Barry Rubin, author and director of the Global Research in International Affairs Center and editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs Journal.

The Brotherhood – the dominant Islamic organization in the West that has spawned most of the major Muslim terrorist groups, including al-Qaida, along with the biggest “mainstream” organizations – is giving the signal that it is “ready to move from the era of propaganda and base-building to one of revolutionary action,” says Rubin.

In a sermon published Sept. 30 titled “How Islam Confronts the Oppression and Tyranny [against the Muslims],” Badi said waging jihad against both of these infidels, Israel and the U.S., is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.

South Carolina Man Fights to Keep Religious Signs on His Property

Posted in Christian Persecution, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , on October 12, 2010|

How much freedom have we lost if we can not post a sign, like shown below, on our own property?  We are seeing the persecution and discrimination increasing, even here in the US.  Just as Jesus predicted… Fear not, he will return to keep us from the worst!

South Carolina Man Fights to Keep Religious Signs on His Property

A South Carolina man says his constitutional rights have been violated after he was told by his local government to remove the Bible-themed signs he had posted on his property.

Oscar Moultrie says a Berkeley County, S.C., ordinance that requires residents to obtain government permission before putting up signs on their private property — other than “for sale,” “for rent,” political signs, and a few other exceptions — (more…)

Papal Session on Muslim Terror Starts By Blasting Israelis

Posted in Christian Persecution, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , on October 12, 2010|

Even talks on christian persecution, turn to focus on Israel, the “burdensome stone”.  In the last days, all the world will be focused on Jerusalem and Israel.  Either way several prophecies intertwined, as many are becoming these days… God’s perfect plan.

Papal Session on Muslim Terror Starts By Blasting Israelis

Pope Benedict XVI convened a synod (meeting) of Middle Eastern bishops to discuss the attacks on the Catholic church in Muslim lands. However, the bishops have been talking more against Israel than about Muslim aggression against Catholics – or at least, it was the anti-Israeli angle that the Associated Press news agency chose to play up.

According to the report, the pope denounced “terrorist ideologies” that spur violence in G-d’s name and said they were based on false gods and should be “unmasked.” However, he despite his own advice, he did not “unmask” the ideology threat by specifying that he was talking about Islamic terrorism.

‘Flag of Islam’ Over the White House Vow

Posted in Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, Deception, End Times Prophecy, One World Religion, tagged , , , , , , , , on October 7, 2010|

Amazing video and story, not only because of the bold statement but in how the Media host did not follow up or condemn such a bold statement.  She didn’t even pause…  The are becoming more and more open with their intentions, I believe this is part of the birth pains and the exponential growth we will see in certain areas until Christ returns…

‘Flag of Islam’ Over the White House Vow

On last night’s “O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly lambasted ABC TV host Christiane Amanpour regarding her handling of recent comments by a British Muslim cleric that Islam will “conquer” America.

“The liberal media … is buying into the gentile Islam,” he told guest Charles Krauthammer. “The media in America is close to [becoming] the media in Europe, which as you know is a very significant factor in this kind of situation.”

On Sunday, Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary claimed that Sharia law will one day rule the East and West and “the flag of Islam will fly over the White House.” (See video below.)

“That is a provocative statement that Miss Amanpour certainly didn’t challenge the way she should have,” O’Reilly said. “That’s what gets me about ABC news. … They let this stuff go and I don’t think they should”:

Saudis arrest Filipino Catholics at mass…

Posted in Christian Persecution, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , on October 7, 2010|

Our christian brothers and sisters around the world are feeling the persecution.  But I would say, we too are feeling it here in the US but in a much more subtle, deadly way.  We are slowly being told we can not be open with our faith, we have to be guarded with our views, as the very mention could “offend” someone, or cause unforeseen consequences.  I hope we can stand strong, and not bend to the pressure.

On a side note, it always amazes me that in the public debate, that in christian nations, any religion can be practices without persecution, but in Islamic nations, only Islam can be practiced.  That is never noted.  Who is truly tolerant?  Tolerance doesn’t mean you have to agree, just allow the practicing of the religion.

Saudis arrest Filipino Catholics at mass: report

The raid took place as some 150 Filipinos were attending the mass in a Riyadh rest house

Riyadh: Saudi police raided a secret Catholic mass in Riyadh last week and arrested a dozen Filipinos and a Catholic priest, charging them with prosyletising, a local daily reported on Wednesday.

The raid took place as some 150 Filipinos were attending the mass in a Riyadh rest house on Friday, the second day of the weekend in Saudi Arabia, Arab News said.

The twelve Filipino men and the priest, whose nationality was not specified, were “charged with prosyletising,” the daily quoted an official from the Philippine embassy in Riyadh as saying.

Situation really bad for Christians where Muslims are now in the majority in Europe

Muslims are taking over parts of the world into which they move simply by outnumbering the previous residents, concludes a new study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Study coordinator Brian Grim says that of the estimated 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, most are South Asian, largely in India and Indonesia. The second largest Muslim group comes from the Middle East.

Ground Zero mosque likened to Superman’s HQ

Posted in Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , on October 4, 2010|

More information released on the Ground Zero mosque, unusual architecture to say the least…

_________________________________________________________________

Ground Zero mosque likened to Superman’s HQ

Futuristic designs for an Islamic centre and mosque near the site of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York have been unveiled to widespread expert acclaim.

The sketches showed a 16-storey building wrapped in a honeycomb of abstract shapes.

The building was compared by some to the Fortress of Solitude, the crystalline headquarters of Superman depicted in comic books.

Others suggested that some of the shapes resembled the Jewish symbol of the Star of David. The company behind the development pointed out that the hexagram is also used in Islam, as the Seal of Solomon, as well as in Christianity and other religions.

Sharif El-Gamal, the developer, said: “We want to have a marriage between Islamic architecture and New York City. We want to do something that is green and cool.”

The proposed Islamic centre, two blocks from the site of the World Trade Centre attacks, has created widespread controversy in the United States.

The designs suggest it will have four floors taken up by a sports, fitness and swimming centre.

There will also be a child care centre, a restaurant, culinary school, art studios, exhibition space and auditorium.

The prayer space for Muslims will be on two levels in the basement, and the 12th floor will have a 9/11 memorial and sanctuary open to people of all faiths.
