Malaysia: Former State Commissioner Angered That Muslims are Converting to Christianity, ‘It Could Be Hundreds, Maybe Even Thousands’

And the Ummah (Islamic Community) in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries is not the least bit pleased. According to the teachings of Mohammed in both the Hadith and the Qur’an, converts to Christianity are considered “apostate” and must be killed. Although some Islamic teachers will quote more peaceful verses and seek to sanitize Islamic text for Western audiences by claiming that portions of the Hadith or Qur’an commanding harsh treatment toward “apostates” and non-Muslims are taken out of context, the fact remains that there are thousands of others who will teach and practice precisely what Islam truly teaches …

Hadith: Bukhari 9.84.57, “Muhammad said, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'”

Qur’an: Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

By Debra Chong – “KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 — Bent on proving Christians were converting Malay Muslims in Selangor, Datuk Hasan Ali said today his research unit has found 41 apostates in Petaling Jaya and will continue to collect more “profound” data to back his case.

The state executive councillor in charge of Islamic affairs told reporters the 41 apostates were mostly women aged between 30 and 60-years old who were from low-income households.

He postulated that the figure was likely only the tip of the iceberg, with the actual number being much bigger.

‘It could be hundreds, maybe even thousands,’ he said.

‘No one has gathered information and made the statistics,’ he added, saying he had set up two-and-half months ago a research unit he called ‘USA’, short for ‘Unit Selamatkan Akidah (Faith Rescue Unit)’, to collect the data and persuade the apostates to return to Islam.

‘We are helping them, hoping they will come back to Islam,’ he said.

The ex-PAS state commissioner appeared taken aback when challenged to prove his theory by a foreign news reporter who pointed out that the so-called apostates could have voluntarily embraced Christianity and were not induced to do so as alleged.

‘Are you a Malaysian?’ he asked. When she answered no, he explained that there were state laws against the propagation of religions other than Islam to Muslims.

When asked if he had pushed for the prosecution of Christian groups or individuals allegedly involved in proselytising their religion to Muslims, Hasan told reporters that he was researching for more ‘profound evidence’.” Read more.

The government-supported Jomhouri-e-Eslami daily newspaper is calling the spread of Christianity an unfounded rumour, but there are definite contradictions in fact to this statement. On October 2, the government-supported news website, Javan-Online, acknowledged that the acceptance of Christianity was becoming a trend and reported 200 house churches were discovered in just a few months in the traditionally Islamic city of Mashhad. Many high ranking government officials and Islamic religious leaders have also made statements expressing concern over the spread of Christianity.” Read more.

‘We cannot accept and thereby facilitate what looks more and more like a particularly perverse program of religious cleansing in the Middle East.’ – French President Nicholas Sarkozy

‘Massacres are taking place for no reason and without any justification against Christians. It is only because they are Christians. What is happening to Christians is a genocide.’ – Former Lebanese President Amine Gemayal.

What is the President of the United States doing to prevent the eradication of Christian communities and other religious minorities in the Islamic Middle East? Will President Obama heed or ignore the Pope’s appeal for the emergence of ‘leaders to show them effective solidarity’?

Our President has the opportunity to demonstrate a determination to prevent Genocide. CSI urges him to do so by presenting an effective policy for securing the survival of religious minorities when he speaks about the Middle East in the State of the Union Address this January.

If you do not raise your voice, neither will the President.

Please send this urgent appeal to President Obama, and distribute it by e-mail to friends, colleagues, politicians, and religious leaders.

CSI will also forward your appeal to all the Republican presidential candidates so that they too will be powerfully challenged to help prevent the destruction of religious minorities and promote religious freedom throughout the Middle East.” Please click here to sign the petition.

2012 and Israel: Could This be the Year That Everything Changes?

As pivotal as 2011 has been with developments throughout the Islamic world, even more significant events could be just over the horizon in 2012 …

By YAAKOV KATZ – “Hezbollah and Hamas are just some of the challenges Israel could face in the coming year of 2012. With Iran continuing what appears to be an unstoppable race towards obtaining nuclear weapons, 2012 appears to be turning into the year which might be the last chance to stop the Ayatollahs from obtaining the bomb.

Hezbollah, Israel believes, has obtained 50,000 rockets and missiles of various sizes and ranges that encompass the entire State of Israel and could be fired in a future war. This is in comparison to the 15,000 rockets it had just five years ago during the Second Lebanon War in 2006.

With predictions that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s days are numbered, concern is growing in Israel over the possibility that in the twilight days of his regime, Assad will attack Israel, possibly with his long-range Scud missiles.

And then there is the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Middle East – the American pullout from Iraq, the future withdrawal from Afghanistan, the revolution in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya – all of which can impact Israel’s security… 2012 is shaping up into one of the most important years in Israel’s existence.” Read more.

Flashback: Israel National News: Will 2012 See The Beginning of Gog-Magog? – “In Israel, we find ourselves in foreboding circumstances today, in Spring 2011. The State of Israel seems to have lost a major measure of its support in the non-Jewish world and is being stampeded into abandoning large parts of the Land of Israel to the tender mercies of sworn enemies who have no peaceful intentions at all – the Palestinians. These are Arabs who constitute a ‘national entity’ invented recently of whole cloth and which never existed in world history. Their wish is to destroy the State of Israel and kill as many Jews as possible in the process. Prime Minister Netanyahu is being pushed into formulating a plan of further concessions, beyond those already granted… The Palestinian enemy fully expects this scenario to materialize and so, steadfastly refuses to negotiate. Since the ‘World’, lead by US President Barack Hussein Obama whose father was a practicing Moslem, does not punish them in any way for not negotiating, they feel vindicated in this assessment.” Read more.

Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are convinced that the End of Days has come. They believe the Shia messiah known as the ‘Twelfth Imam’ or the ‘Mahdi’ will appear soon to establish a global Islamic kingdom known as the caliphate. What’s more, they believe the way to hasten the coming of the Twelfth Imam is to annihilate Israel …” Read more.

Flashback: Jews Familiar With Yalkut Shimoni Believe Iran and Saudi Arabia May Soon Fulfill Ancient Messiah Prophecy – “Jews familiar with an ancient compilation of Aggadic exegesis called Yalkut Shimoni noticed in recent weeks that current tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia matches a prophecy it contains regarding the year in which the Messiah – the King who redeems Israel and the world – is to appear. In particular, the recently revealed Iranian plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. and subsequent reports that the Arab nations are pressuring the West to attack Iran, appear to fit the sequence of events predicted in the Yalkut Shimoni. In to the part of the book dealing with the Book of Isaiah, the following passage appears:” Read more.
