In a nation that is overwhelmingly Muslim, Islam is the fuel that feeds the flame of violence …

A Methodist church burned in Nzérékoré

WorldWatch Monitor – “Judicial authorities in Guinea are investigating an outburst of deadly violence two weeks ago that left 95 people dead and 130 wounded. The murder of a suspected thief on July 14 in Koulé, a city 40 kilometres from Nzérékoré, the regional capital of Forested Guinea, has led to acts of retaliation and a wave of violence between members of Guerzé and Konianké ethnic groups.

Very quickly, the incidents became a sectarian conflict between Christians and Muslims, with the destruction of a number of Christians’ properties, including several churches.

In Nzérékoré, about five churches, four houses of pastors, and an undetermined number of shops and properties were burned or looted, witnesses told World Watch Monitor. A mosque was also reported burned and one Muslim cleric killed. In Beyla city, 150 kilometres northeast of Nzérékoré, attacks targeting Christians were particularly violent, according to a Catholic priest contacted by World Watch Monitor.

‘The two Catholic and Protestant churches have all been ransacked and burned,’ said the priest, identified as Fr. Joseph. ‘Almost all the houses and shops belonging to Christians or people affiliated with Christians, have not escaped the fury of attackers.’

The offices and other buildings within the Catholic compound, including the Presbyter and the nuns’ quarters, were looted or burned.

Elsewhere in Beyla, the Center for Youth Development, an internet café, a conference room, a library and a primary school were ransacked.

The priest said a physician and Beyla’s regional deputy of health services, Dr. Tolon Loua, was killed during the violence.

‘He was inside of his house when the assailants arrived and set it on fire,’ he said. ‘Badly burned, he was transported to the hospital where he was later declared dead.’

An undetermined number of people remain missing. Several Christian families found refuge in military camps and surrounding villages. Churches and local NGOs are trying to place them with other families…

A number of Islamic fundamentalist groups are established in the southeast region, particularly in Beyla, a city perceived as a centre of Islam in Guinea. Beyla was one of the main cites of Wassoulou Empire, an Islamic state founded in the 17th century by Samori Touré, a military and political leader known for his opposition to the French colonial occupation. Today the city is 99 per cent Muslim, and Christians are a tiny minority of workers.

‘These incidents have served as a pretext for Islamist groups to assert their opposition to the Christian presence,’ Guilavogui said.” Read more.

UK: Primary School Lunch Lady Of 11 Years Fired For Accidentally Serving Pork To 7-Year-Old Muslim Student

07/31/2013 1 comment

The feelings of Muslims hurt means a woman’s livelihood is now gone. We’ve seen schools and teachers in the UK submit to Islam many times in the past, and we’ll continue to see them do the same again in the future. Sure, it’s easy for Muslim groups to say, after the fact, that the school “overreacted” by firing her, but in reality the school was likely very concerned about the potentially violent response from the Islamic community if word began to spread that nothing was done about her “gross misconduct” and decided to terminate her employment before any violent sensitive Muslims even had a chance to riot voice their concerns …

Cambridge News – “A Cambridge primary school dinner lady has reportedly been sacked for accidentally serving pork to a Muslim pupil.

Alison Waldock, 51, claims she served 7-year-old Khadija Darr the gammon after the youngster pointed to the dish on the lunch menu.

It is understood the mistake was spotted by the school’s headteacher who swept the plate away from the youngster before she had chance to eat it, and the girl’s parents were then informed who complained to the school’s catering firm.

Dinner lady of 11 years Alison was suspended while chiefs investigated.

She insisted it was a genuine mistake but she told a national newspaper how she was dismissed a month later, following an appeal, for gross misconduct due to “negligence, carelessness or idleness”.

British Muslim groups have branded the decision to sack her ‘heavy-handed’ and an ‘overreaction’.

While Alison today claimed she was being made a scapegoat – and is now too afraid to ever take another job as a dinner lady.

The mum-of-two said: “I feel the school and catering company made me a scapegoat so they can’t be seen as politically incorrect.

‘I was really upset when I found out what I’d done. I’d never have done something like this on purpose. It was a simple mistake – I was so gutted with the school’s reaction.

‘I am now too scared of taking any similar catering jobs with the council. This incident has ruined my career as a dinner lady.'” Read more.

Slaughter: At Least 45 Killed In Northern Nigeria After Islamist Bombings Target Churches, Christian-Owned Businesses

07/31/2013 6 comments

The death toll continues to rise …

John 16:2b, “… the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.”

Morning Star News – “Suspected terrorists from the Islamic extremist Boko Haram group set off four bombs that hit two churches in Kano city on Monday night (July 29), killing at least 45 people, sources said.

The Rev. Ramsey Noah, chairman of the Kano state chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), told Morning Star News by phone the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were planted near three churches, blasting two of them as well as nearby Christian-owned businesses. The four devices were detonated minutes apart between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. in the Sabon Gari area of the city, sources said.

Christians were meeting at Christ Salvation Pentecostal Church at 41 New Road when one explosion hit, and 39 bodies were recovered in the area, Christian leaders said. Christians were also meeting at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church as another bomb went off, and an explosion apparently targeting Peniel Baptist Church did not affect the structure, Noah said.

‘On Monday evening at about 9 p.m., four bombs exploded in the Sabon Gari area of Kano,’ Noah told Morning Star News. ‘The bombs we believe were targeted at three churches located in the area. There were worshippers in the two churches affected at the time having evening Bible study programs.’

Total deaths from the church bombings were unknown at press time, but Noah said that as security personnel moved into the area, church leaders had established that at least 45 people in the predominantly Christian area had been killed.” Read more.

Syria: Rebel Religious Committee Forbids Eating The Crescent-Shaped Croissant

The destruction of Christians, churches and crosses makes them feel great, but the crescent-shaped croissant hurts their sensitive feelings …

1 Timothy 4:1, 3a, “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons… They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods …”

Al Arabiya – “A sharia committee in a rebel-held area of Aleppo issued a fatwa deeming croissants ‘haram’ (forbidden in Islamic law) because of their “colonial” significance, pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat reported on Tuesday.

Croissants’ crescent shape celebrates European victory over Muslims, according to the fatwa (religious ruling).

Rebel-controlled areas of the Syrian city have experienced several strict fatwas recently from Islamic sharia committees.

Such edicts are uncommon in Aleppo’s society, which usually adheres to moderate Islamic teachings, Asharq al-Awsat reported.

A sharia committee in the city issued a fatwa on Facebook prohibiting “Muslim women wearing makeup and tight clothes that reveal physical features from going out.”

A fatwa issued by the Council of the United Judiciary, affiliated with the rebel Free Syrian Army, stipulated a year in jail for anyone not fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.

Samir Nashar, a member of the opposition Syrian National Coalition, called on the FSA to unite its forces in Aleppo and work to prevent the expansion of these committees.

There are civil movements resisting the extremist tendencies of such committees, he told Asharq al-Awsat.” Source – Al Arabiya.

Large Chunk Of Sun Ripped Off, Heading Towards Earth At 2 Million Miles An Hour

Luke 21:25, “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring …”

BY FOX NEWS INSIDER – “Scientists at NASA have released some incredible images revealing an enormous dark hole over our sun.

Corey Powell, Editor of Discover Magazine, joined Bill Hemmer on America’s Newsroom this morning to explain the giant black hole, and what it means for us here on Earth.

‘The reason it’s dark is that whole chunk of the sun basically ripped off, blew out and is coming our way at about two million miles an hour,’ said Powell.

Well, that doesn’t sound good. Powell explained that this phenomenon happens frequently, but we don’t often see something this large.

He said that when the chunk of the sun hits Earth, it would cause auroras, and would wiggle the magnetic field. The major concern would be potential disruptions to GPS signals and interference with communication satellites and power lines.” Source – Fox News Insider.

World’s Most Influential Islamic Cleric Calls Upon Muslims Around The World To Wage Violent Jihad In Egypt

07/30/2013 2 comments

Once again, the Hitler-defending-nuclear-terror-supporting cleric calls upon all able-bodied death-loving Muslims around the world to engage in violent, blood-spilling jihad. For peaceful purposes, of course …

Isaiah 19:2, “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom …”

By Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Mag – “Call this the Syrianization of Egypt. It’s pretty close to a call for a civil war backed by foreign fighters.It’s the clearest signal yet from a key Muslim Brotherhood figure that he intends to do to Egypt what he did to Syria. If the call was made from Qatar, that would suggest that Qatar will back this war on Egypt the way it has backed a war on Syria.

There have been already claims that many of the hundreds of thousands of Syrian Sunni refugees in Egypt are participating in Muslim Brotherhood riots. But this would take things to the next level.

Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi—one of the most influential Islamic clerics in the world, author of over 100 books on Muslim doctrine, head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood—has just posted a new video where he calls on all the Muslims of the world to come and wage jihad with their lives in Egypt on behalf of “what’s right”—that is, the return to power of the Muslim Brotherhood.

He called on everyone and anyone—the “sons of Al Azhar,” businessmen, journalists—and from all around the world, specifically mentioning Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Senegal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan.

Qaradawi called on them to be shuhada, “martyrs” who sacrifice their lives in the course of the jihad. Several Egyptian religious authorities have expressed surprise at Qaradawi’s reckless call for jihad in Egypt, saying the latter is not part of Dar al-Harb (Abode of War) where jihad should be waged to bring non-Muslims under Islamic authority, but rather is part of the Islamic world, where Islamic authorities like Qaradawi should be calling for peace, not promoting more bloodshed between Muslims.

The dirty little secret of the Muslim world is that Muslims kill each other in the name of Islam more often than they do non-Muslims. And the objection hasn’t stopped Al Qaeda from declaring non-Islamists or even fellow Islamists, infidels.

Having Qaradawi step forward with something so blatantly Takfiri could be an interesting development in Jihadist doctrine.

A number of the countries that Qaradawi mentioned are known sources of Jihadist fighters. Specifically Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Jordan. Oddly Qaradawi failed to mention any Gulf states suggesting that he has some quiet agreement with the Qataris and Saudis in place about that.” Source – Frontpage Mag.

Danish Psychiatrist: Muslims Are Violent Because Of Islam, ‘They Simply Cannot See That What They Have Done Is Wrong’

07/30/2013 9 comments

This Danish psychiatrist is stating the obvious, but sometimes even the obvious needs to be stated. Islam teaches in so many ways that evil is good while good is evil, and if the behavior of the “prophet” of Islam himself reflected the religion of “Allah” in such a way that to any civilized society would fit the profile of a raving mad man, then why shouldn’t all of his devout followers behave the same way? The crescent moon. It’s a fitting symbol for ideological lunacy

Isaiah 5:20a, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness …”

BT.dk via Nicolai Sennels, Islam verses Europe – “Radical Islamism is a real and growing threat to Danish society and it is time that politicians wake up.

So says forensic psychiatrist and author Henrik Day Poulsen, author of a book on fanaticism. Poulsen regular meets Islamism in his work with criminals. …

‘- When we examine the criminal migrant youth, Islamism quite often plays a role. They have been inculcated a totally distorted worldview in which it is directly or indirectly ok to commit violence or rob a bank, because the whole life is a battle between Denmark and Islam, where they are on the good side. And when they are arrested and punished, they think again, it is an expression of that struggle. That it is because of racism. They simply cannot see that what they have done is wrong. It is very difficult to fight crime, that happens with the starting point, and the development is therefore very dangerous,’ says Henrik Day Poulsen. …

It is the consequence when we hardly require participation in society. When they as children grow up with such a world view, it is clear that they feel marginalized and find it difficult to have success when they meet the rest of Denmark in school and on the work market.

And that is exactly the feeling that extremists exploit. If we want to stop the development, we need to stop being naive and start making more demands concerning integration, says Henrik Day Poulsen.

At the same time Danish society must stop and roll back any form of positive discrimination in favor of Muslims and people of other ethnic backgrounds, he said. ‘- If you allow positive discrimination, you are helping extremists paint a picture that they are a group with special rights.

Therefore, it seems to me completely wrong to bend traditional Danish values ​​by allowing only halal meat in hospitals and schools.

It’s a discussion we need to have, although it may seem hard,’ says Henrik Day Poulsen.” Source – Islam verses Europe.

Europe: Muslims In Multiple Countries Call For Violent ‘Lone Wolf’ Uprising Against The Netherlands After Arrest Of Muslim Woman

07/30/2013 8 comments

For peaceful purposes …

AD.nl (Translation) – “In several European countries, young Muslims protested against the arrest of a 19-year-old woman from Zoetermeer. A group of men demonstrated on Saturday in front of the Dutch Embassy in London demanding the release of the Zoetermeer. Other groups also protested for her release in Germany and France.

The 19-year-old from Zoetermeer, named Oum Usamah, was arrested two weeks ago for trying to recruit Dutch Muslims for the civil war in Syria. Via the internet she called upon Muslims in several European countries to protest her arrest.

In London, a group of men demonstrated in front of the Dutch embassy on Saturday morning. They called upon Muslims worldwide to stand up for their sister. ‘We’re doing everything we can to free her’ and carried signs with text in English and Dutch, including one that said ‘Sharia for the Netherlands’.

English, German and French videos and flyers appeared on the internet raising the issue, sometimes with violent text such as, ‘Where is the lone wolf who takes revenge for his sister?’ It is not clear who is behind the campaign. On Saturday a letter appeared on the website ‘True Religion’ for Dutch Muslims in which the writers warned the Dutch government that consequences of the arrest may lead to abductions of Dutch citizens in the Islamic world.

‘Does the Dutch government not know that its house is made of glass, and that they should stop throwing stones at the Islamic community?’ said the letter. ‘We will roar like lions because of our sister’s injustice.’ The National Coordinator for Counterterrorism says it is keeping up to date on the protests, but as yet sees no reason to take action.” Source – AD.nl.

Iran: Armageddon At Hand, Prepare For War And For The ‘Government Of Imam Mahdi’

07/30/2013 3 comments

Before reading the full article below it is highly recommended that you read this article first

By Reza Kahlili, WND – “Iran is again asserting that Armageddon is at hand and that the Islamic regime’s followers, indeed all of Islam, must prepare for a monumental change in the world.

Officials of the Islamic regime last month held their annual conference on the Mahdism Doctrine to prepare for the coming of the last Islamic messiah, the Shiites’ 12th Imam, Mahdi.

Shiites, whose clerics rule Iran with an iron fist, believe that at the end of times, Mahdi, a 9th century prophet, will reappear with Jesus Christ at his side, kill all the infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all four corners of the world, establishing worldwide Islamic governance.

Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, said at the conference that, ‘I hope (Iran’s) Islamic Revolution is that of the righteous government before the coming,’ according to Fars News Agency, the regime’s media outlet run by the Revolutionary Guards.

‘Righteous government’ is a key to Mahdi’s return, the Shiites believe.

‘It has been stated in the Islamic hadith that a wave of uprisings (such as the current upheavals in the Arab world) … takes place before the main uprising and that the righteous government (takes place) before the coming, which I hope (Iran’s) Islamic Revolution is that.’

The speaker said that metaphysics and modern technology have diminished human spiritualism, causing a sense of nervousness in which people have lost hope, and that this effect will reach its maximum before the coming.

‘All mental crises are rooted in hopelessness and despair in life,’ Larijani said, ‘and from a society point of view, this is because the big powers of the world are pushing for a culture that has no identity and with their power give their illicit desires a legal aspect. With the help of their media, they explain away the biggest corruption.’

Many regime officials participated in this year’s conference, including military commanders, and several guests spoke of the importance of the Shiite ideology on Mahdi’s coming and the need for jihad for the final battle. The Mahdaviat conference is convened annually to prepare for the coming.

A high Iranian politician said recently that he believes the Syrian revolution could be the catalyst for sparking a worldwide conflagration that will usher in an era of Muslim domination of the world.

‘One can smell from the crisis in Syria the coming … of the end of times and the coming of the last Islamic messiah,’ said Ruhollah Hosseinian, a member of the Read more…

Experts: Muslim Brotherhood Will Strengthen In Egypt Despite Military Control

07/30/2013 Leave a comment

Now that Egypt’s Islamists have had a taste of power they will never be satisfied with anything less than the main course

By Daniel Wiser, The Washington Free Beacon – “The seizure of control by the military in Egypt will likely embolden the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and could push the country into a devastating civil war resembling Algeria in the 1990s, experts on the region said Monday.

The experts presented a dour outlook for Egypt, a country struggling to erect a functioning democracy after sixty years of military and dictatorial rule, at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Violence has spread in the country since Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi deposed President Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Brotherhood, on July 3 in response to protests of his increasingly authoritarian rule. Almost 300 people have died in fighting between pro- and anti-Morsi camps as the military attempts to restore stability and stage elections within six months.

The Muslim Brotherhood has so far declined invitations to meet with the interim government, an early indication that they could be disillusioned with democracy after Morsi’s downfall, said Samuel Tadros, a research fellow at the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom.

‘The idea that only through the bullet can you have the dream will certainly tempt another generation of Islamists,’ he said.

There are also early signs that continued Brotherhood intransigence could spark an overcorrection from the military, said Reuel Marc Gerecht, a senior fellow with the foundation. Egyptian security forces shot at least 83 Brotherhood supporters over the weekend, according to reports.

Further crackdowns by the Egyptian military would parallel civil strife in other African nations, such as Algeria, the experts said.

Efforts by the Algerian armed forces to ban the country’s Islamist party from elections in the early 1990s triggered a larger conflict that raged until a ceasefire in 1997.

‘Algeria later said the violence was a mistake,’ Gerecht said. ‘I don’t know that that type of wisdom will be translated well through North Africa.'” Read more.

Muslim Persecution of Christians: May, 2013, ‘Christians Murdered Nonstop In Nigeria’

07/30/2013 2 comments

Matthew 10:22, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

By Raymond Ibrahim, Gatestone Institute – “Nigeria continues to be the most dangerous nation for Christians—where more Christians have been killed last year than all around the Muslim world combined. In one instance, Boko Haram Muslim militants stormed the home of a Pentecostal pastor and secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria, and opened fire on him, instantly murdering him.

Separately, other Boko Haram gunmen killed 14 Christians, including the cousin and two nephews of the Rev. Moses Thliza, head of a Christian organization dedicated to preventing AIDS and caring for AIDS patients and orphans: Said Thliza: ‘My cousin, Bulus [Paul] Buba, was dragged out at gunpoint from his house by the Boko Haram members. They collected his car keys, demanded money and asked him three times to renounce his Christian faith, and three times he declined to do so [prompting them to execute him]. The attackers met three guards on duty, killed two of them by cutting their necks with knives, and then proceeded to take the third guard, Amtagu Samiyu, at gunpoint to lead them to where the keys of the deputy governor’s house is.’

As for some Christians observing a wake two kilometers away, Boko Haram Muslims asked to know what was going on there, and when they learned that people were saying prayers for an elderly Christian woman who had died, they charged in and shot into the crowd. ‘The attackers went there and shot indiscriminately at the worshippers, killing eight Christians—two women and six elderly men,’ said Thliza. ‘In all, we buried 14 Christians. Some were injured and taken to the hospital.’

Despite all this, when the Nigerian government tried militarily to confront and neutralize Boko Haram, the Obama administration criticized it, warning it not to violate the ‘human rights’ of the Islamic terrorists.

Categorized by theme, the rest of May’s roundup of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes (but is not limited to) the following accounts, listed by theme and in country alphabetical order, not necessarily according to severity:

Church Attacks

Bosnia: The Serbian Orthodox church of Saint Sava in Sarajevo, where Muslims make up approximately half of the population, was ‘desecrated‘ and six of its windows panes broken. The unidentified vandals wrote ‘Allah’ in dark paint twice on the church wall. A month earlier, unidentified persons tried to set the church on fire.

Central African Republic: According to the Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace, since an Islamic rebel leader proclaimed himself president, the situation for Christians, has ‘deeply worsened.’ The organization warns against ‘the evil intentions for the programmed and planned desecration and destruction of religious Christian buildings, and in particular the Catholic and Protestant churches…. All over the country the Catholic Church has paid a high price.’ Several dioceses have been seriously damaged and plundered, and priests and nuns attacked (more information below, under ‘Dhimmitude.’)

Egypt: Two Coptic Christian churches were attacked, one in Alexandria, the other in Upper Egypt. St. Mary in Alexandria was attacked by Molotov cocktails and bricks, causing the gate to burn and the stained glass windows to shatter. One thousand Christians tried to defend the church against 20,000 Muslims screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ [‘Allah is Greater’]. One Copt was killed and several injured. In the village of Menbal in Upper Egypt, after ‘Muslim youths’ harassed Christian girls—including hurling bags of urine at them—and Coptic men came to their rescue, another Muslim mob stormed the village church of Prince Tadros el-Mashreki.

Nigeria: Dozens Killed After Multiple Bombs Explode In Christian Neighborhood Of Kano

07/30/2013 1 comment

Revelation 13:15, “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

By IBRAHIM GARBA and MICHELLE FAUL, The Associated Press – “Multiple explosions at a bar and entertainment area in a Christian quarter of Nigeria’s northern and mainly Muslim city of Kano killed at least 24 people, a hospital official said Tuesday.

Lt. Ikedichi Iweha, a spokesman for the Military Joint Task Force, said earlier Tuesday that 12 people died at the scene and ‘a couple’ of people were wounded in Monday night’s attack, which he blamed on suspected members of the Islamic extremist Boko Haram network.

But the spokesman for Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital said their mortuary had 24 bodies brought from the scene and from the city’s Murtala Muhammad Specialists Hospital.

The teaching hospital also was treating nine people wounded in the blasts, said spokesman Aminu Inuwa. It was unclear how many others might be in treatment at other hospitals.

More than a hundred people gathered outside the hospital morgue, weeping and screaming in anguish Tuesday afternoon. Military officials would not allow them into the morgue, so many said they have no idea if missing loved ones are dead or alive.

Nigeria is fighting an Islamic uprising by extremists based mainly in the northeast, where the government has declared a state of emergency. Kano city and state are in the northwest and not part of that emergency. Boko Haram, which means ‘Western education is forbidden,’ wants to impose Islamic law in all of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation of more than 160 million divided almost equally between Christians who live mainly in the south and Muslims who dominate the north.

Monday night’s attack at just after 9 p.m. (21:00 GMT) rocked an area popular for its outdoor bars, blaring music, snooker tables and table tennis — a place where people have fun, which is anathema to the militants.

Witness Kolade Ade said at least one blast appeared to come from a Mercedes-Benz parked beside the bar.
