Kentucky: 500,000 Asian Carp Feared Dead In Massive Fish Kill
By Chad Lampe, WKU Public Radio – “Scientists are investigating a massive fish kill in Western Kentucky. Around half-a-million Asian Carp are reported dead.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says the die-off on the Cumberland River this week occurred just below the Lake Barkley Dam. Only Asian Carp were killed. Aquaculture Specialist Bob Durborow hasn’t seen anything of this magnitude in his 30 years of experience. He’s currently testing specimens.
‘Their eyes looked like they were live their gills looked they were from live fish they were a good specimen to check,’ said Durborow. ‘So, I feel confident that what we find from these fish might give us an indication of what is actually the problem.'” Read more.
Tehran Sermon: Iranian President Should Punch Obama In The Mouth, As Long As America Exists Jihad Will Exist
For peaceful purposes …
Tehran Friday Sermon, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, 4/25/2014: “The arrogant pharaohs throughout history have always considered themselves superior to everybody everywhere. The actions of the despotic US administration constitute a clear example of this. Look what they are doing in the Ukraine. What is going on there? Who the hell are you to interfere in the affairs of another people? … Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran are hundreds of miles away from America. From across the world, they intervene in Afghanistan and Iraq, and conspire against Islamic Iran … They keep pouring their venom. [Crowd: Death to America! Death to America! Death to America! Death to America!] When our top negotiators enter the room, they should know that when they face the Americans, they face a hostile enemy that cannot be trusted at all… Just as you confront them during the negotiations, you must confront them on the level of political declarations … If the American President talks nonsense, our president should punch him in the mouth… As long as the enemy [America] exists, Jihad will exist too.” Watch video.

Saudi Arabia: Deadly MERS Virus Spreading, Daily Deaths Reported, Fearful Doctors Refuse To Work
“May Allah show mercy to them.” That’s kind of hard when “Allah” evidently loves to see his believers falling ill and suffering torment:
Hadith, Sahih Muslim, 42.7071, “Allah may test believers by afflicting them with leprosy, baldness and blindness …”
Hadith, Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.20.2083, “Allah likes illness; He expiates sins through illness …”
Hasan, 2001, vol. ii, p. 879, foot note 2557, “Allah is so kind to Muslims that He remits their sins by their illness. The Prophet (may peace be upon him) has pointed out that a Muslim should bear illness cheerfully. It serves as atonement for his sins …”
“Allah” commands that anyone who leaves his religion to be put to death. He demands that anyone who insults him or his prophet be put to death. He demands that wars be waged to force Islam throughout the earth and any who resist be put to death. With hundreds of millions killed in his name and at his command over the past 1,400 years — and with those numbers increasing daily — it seems to me that mercy is one attribute that the most-merciful “Allah” is missing …
National Turk – “More and more people in the Arabian Peninsula become infected with the dangerous Mers virus. Saudi Arabia announces almost daily deaths, doctors are on strike for fear of infection. Internationally growing concern.
‘May Allah show mercy to them’ [writes] the health authority in Saudi Arabia on its website the people who have died from the dangerous coronavirus Mers. On Tuesday morning, there were 102 deaths in the UK – 21 more than they did a week earlier. The pathogen was discovered in September 2012 , and the most affected is the oil state Saudi Arabia.
For a few weeks the numbers have risen there by leaps and bounds. The government in Riyadh gears up: The Health Minister was replaced and set up special centers with isolation wards in three cities. However, from Riyadh, Jeddah or Mecca gets the virus to other countries and spread fear. At the weekend, Egypt reported a first suspected case. A returnee from Saudi Arabia had exhibited symptoms.
Recently it got particularly physicians, pharmacists and nurses who came into contact with an affected person. Thus, a 38 -year-old Filipino pharmacist in Riyadh was taken to the hospital, she had apparently infected. In Jeddah the pathogen Mers-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus ) was diagnosed in a 30 -year-old Indian nurse. In Mecca, a 32-year-old Sudanese doctor diseased mind.
Many Saudi doctors refuse for fear of contagion now to take care of infected at all. Because so far there is neither a vaccine nor a therapy. The body has to try to combat the parasite itself, which can lead to kidney failure and severe pneumonia.
Why the coronavirus especially in Saudi Arabia occurs is not known. In general, we know relatively little at the moment. The pathogens can occur both in birds and in mammals. Some studies indicate that Mers has its origin in bats. Scientists were able to detect the virus but also in camels. As genetic analyzes have shown that the virus is probably jumped several times from animals to humans. Camels are kept in the Arab States for their meat, milk, and as transport animals.
Tarik Jasarevic, staff of the World Health Organization (WHO ) stated: ‘We challenge now is to figure out how the excitation of camels jumping to humans.'” Read more.

Drummer From Rock Band “Scorpions” Jailed In Dubai For “Insulting Islam”
For peaceful purposes. Where are those winds of change many claimed were blowing across the Middle East during the Arab Spring? Compared to what the Qur’an says his punishment could be, he’s getting off relatively easy …
Qur’an Sura 33:57, 61, “Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in this world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained … Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.”
Associated Press – “Newspapers in the United Arab Emirates are reporting that the American drummer for the rock band Scorpions has been sentenced to one month in jail after being convicted of offensive behavior in Dubai.
The government-backed National newspaper reported Tuesday that James Kottak was convicted of insulting Islam, raising his middle finger and being under the influence of alcohol while in transit at Dubai airport.
The Gulf News daily says he was arrested April 3 en route from Russia to Bahrain, where the German band was scheduled to perform at a Formula One race. Kottak was a no-show at the April 5 concert.
The newspapers say Kottak admitted to drinking but denied other charges.
The Scorpions’ manager didn’t respond to requests for comment. Kottak’s local lawyer couldn’t immediately be reached.” Source – My Fox NY

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “Many Islamic charities in the United States and around the world have been shut down for funding terrorism, including what was once the largest Islamic charity in the United States, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), as well as the Global Relief Foundation (GRF), the Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), and many others. This is because the charitable giving required of Muslims, zakat, can be given to fund jihad, a meritorious activity according to Islamic law. And the ‘Palestinian’ jihad has a special appeal, as it is directed against the Jews, whom the Qur’an designates as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82).
‘Aid group accused of Hamas ties put on ‘terrorist’ list, raided,’ The Canadian Press, April 29, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):
A Canadian organization that provided humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza has been formally branded a terrorist group before the start of a court battle over the revocation of its charitable status.
The move came as the RCMP confirmed it had raided locations in Ontario and Quebec as part of a terrorism-financing investigation.
In a letter to the International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy, the RCMP said the federal government had added the group to a list of “terrorist entities” as of April 24.
“IRFAN is now classified as a ‘terrorist group’ under Canadian law,” the letter from Supt. Stephane Bonin states.
“As a consequence, any property or asset belonging to IRFAN is now frozen.”
The letter offers no reason for the listing decision but Canada Revenue Agency has said the organization supported Hamas, itself branded as a terrorist organization.
A statement Tuesday from Public Affairs Minister Steven Blaney noted CRA’s contention — which was to be argued in court next week — that IRFAN provided aid to groups run by officials of, or who supported Hamas.
IRFAN, based in Mississauga, Ont., sent about $14.6 million in resources to “various organizations associated with Hamas” between 2005 and 2009, the statement said.
Charitable status revokedThe non-profit IRFAN was due in Federal Court of Appeal on May 6 to contest a 2011 CRA decision to revoke its charitable status because of its alleged ties to Hamas and failure to keep proper records.
No one for IRFAN was available to comment, but a lawyer speaking for the group condemned the listing as an attack on humanitarian support for Palestinians.
Uzbekistan: Christians Cannot Be Buried In State-Owned Cemeteries
All of us who die in Christ will one day be resurrected to everlasting life regardless of where our bodies are laid to rest. Those who reject Him, however, will be resurrected to something else entirely, regardless of how “pure” they considered themselves to be …
Daniel 12:2, “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.”
AsiaNews – “With the support of local authorities, some Uzbek imams have denied the families of non-Muslims the right to bury their loved ones in state-owned cemeteries.
Three cases involving Protestants have been reported in recent weeks, raising questions about religious freedom in Uzbekistan, this according to the Forum 18, a news service that documents violations of religious freedom in Central Asia.
The three people involved are all former Muslims who converted to Protestant Christianity. In each case, their families were not allowed to bury them alongside other relatives.
In Central Asian culture, being buried together with family members and with the participation of the local community are important.
Although Forum 18 reported the first case only a few days ago, the latter dates back to 9 April. It concerns Gayrat Buriyev, 68-year-old Christian, originally from a village near the capital Tashkent.
The local imam refused to let his relatives bury him in the state-owned cemetery, repeatedly cursing the deceased’s family. When the latter appealed to local government authorities, they were unsuccessful.
The ban stems from the deceased’s conversion to Christianity. Cemeteries are state-owned, but converts cannot be buried along with Muslims, the imam said.
‘The imam cursed the family for becoming Christians and insulted them with unquotable expressions, branding them unclean and defiled infidels,’ local sources said, adding that he was ‘acting based on Islamic Sharia Law’.
Complaints by relatives were to no avail. Although they insisted that Uzbekistan is (or ought to be) a secular state and cemeteries are state-owned, the local imam, claimed that the one in question was ‘a Muslim cemetery’ and Christians are not allowed.” Read more.

Christian Leader In Iraq: “In 10 Years’ Time There Will Only Be A Few Thousand Christians Left”
Matthew 24:22, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”
Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering …”
Acts 14:22b, “… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “‘The Iraqi Christian community had more than a million followers, 600 thousand in Baghdad alone, now they have less than 400 thousand in the whole country.’ The ones who have been driven out of Iraq weren’t chased out by Zionists, either. Western governments and media wring their hands over ‘Islamophobia’ while hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iraq have suffered grievously at the hands of Islamic supremacists. But to talk about that would harm the wonderful ongoing ‘Muslim-Christian dialogue.’
‘Sako: ‘In 10 years there will only be a few thousand Christians left in Iraq,’’ Asia News, April 28, 2014:
Baghdad (AsiaNew / Agencies) – The Iraqi Chaldean Patriarch, Louis Raphael Sako I, says he is seriously concerned over the continuing decline of Christian presence in the country: “If measures are not taken soon, in 10 years’ time there will only be a few thousand Christians left in Iraq”.
The Iraqi Christian community had more than a million followers, 600 thousand in Baghdad alone, now they have less than 400 thousand in the whole country. The main causes of this massive migration are poor security, increased death threats against Christians from Islamists and the seizure of their property by armed groups.
The Patriarch describes the scale of the phenomenon of migration as “frightening” and says it is worsened by the encouragement of Western powers.
After visiting communities throughout the country, Sako said: “Christians are those who suffer most from the upsurge in violence across Iraq. This is due to the fact that Christians do not maintain tribal affiliations, as do Arab Muslims. The only way they have to resolve disputes is through the Iraqi legal system, which is often criticized for its corruption, and which is subject to political manipulation”.

Arizona: Muslim Man Says It’s His Religious Right To … Kill His Wife

Ansar Muhammad, 43, was arrested at the couple’s home in Avondale Saturday morning on charges of unlawful imprisonment as well as aggravated and sexual assault, among others.
His wife told police the incidents were sparked after Muhammad had accused her of having an affair, court paperwork said.
At one point, Muhammad picked her up and put her in their vehicle, police said. He then drove to and parked behind an Avondale Walgreens store, where the he punched her multiple times in the face, neck, back, chest and legs, officers said.
A court document stated Muhammad ‘used his hands during the assault to strangulate and impede the breathing of the victim.’
His wife said she continued to try to get away. Muhammad told her he was going to kill her because he had the right due to his ‘Islamic belief,’ according to the probable cause statement.
Muhammad then drove his wife back to their home and threatened to throw her in a surrounding lake because she could not swim, court paperwork stated.

‘No Help Coming’: State Prepares Citizens For Possible EMP Attack
- Recommended: Is Israel Planning An EMP Attack On Iran?
- Recommended: A Warning From Russia: An EMP Attack ‘May Be Right Around the Corner’ That Will Kill Many Millions
By F. Michael Maloof, WND – “Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed legislation to require the state’s Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to prepare materials outlining what citizens need to know to deal with either a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse event that could knock out the vulnerable electrical grid system over a wide geographical region.
The legislation, SB 1476, was introduced by Sen. David Farnsworth, R-Mesa. It includes the type and quantity of food, water and medical supplies that each person should stockpile in case an EMP occurs over the U.S.
The legislation, however, doesn’t require actual hardening of the grid within the state.
‘In our lifetimes the emergencies we’ve seen have been local emergencies, and really all we have to do is be prepared enough to hang on until help arrives,’ Farnsworth said at the time he introduced it last February. ‘With an EMP, there’s no help coming.’
Under the legislation that now is law, the Arizona Division of Emergency Management is to post on its website recommendations such as the type and amount of supplies residents should stockpile to be prepared for an EMP event.
Farnsworth’s more immediate concern was the prospect of an EMP triggered by the detonation of a high-altitude nuclear weapon. The EMP would have the effect of knocking out the vulnerable grid system and any unprotected electronics.
‘My hope is that by bringing this out, we’ll start discussions and come to the realization that as a government we can’t feed all these people, but as responsible citizens we need to do our part and make individual preparations,’ he said at the time he introduced the legislation.
A co-sponsor of the legislation, Don Shooter, R-Yuma, had criticized the federal government for not taking a similar public education program.” Read more.

The Myth Of The Moderate Muslim Majority
Hadith, Bukhari 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror” – The “Prophet” Of Islam, Mohammed
Qur’an Sura 3:31, “… If you should love Allah, THEN FOLLOW ME [Mohammed], so Allah will love you and forgive you your sins …”
Qur’an Sura 4:76a, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah …”
Recommended: Muslim Opinion Polls: A “Tiny Minority of Extremists”?
By Fred Dardick, Canada Free Press – “How many times have we heard the same old tired line, that only an infinitesimally small, almost imperceptible number of Muslims are radicalized? You know the story: a couple of young men cut the head off of a soldier in middle of a busy street yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ is followed by a litany of Islamic apologists on the airwaves claiming that the majority of Muslims are quite moderate and would never, ever condone such actions. Sounds great, but is it true? Short answer: Not even close.
The truth is the majority of Islamists are far more radical than what most Americans can appreciate. Take the question of apostates; those who leave Islam for another religion. According to the Koran the penalty is death. No negotiation, no compromise, just take the poor victim out back and cut off his head. The vast majority of Americans would consider such a penalty for switching religions a bit extreme, but according to a 2013 Pew Research Survey over 50% of Islamists in the Middle East and South Asia view beheading as an appropriate punishment for turning your back on Allah.
Then there’s the question of punishment for female adulterers, which according to Islam is death by stoning, a view that is once again shared by over 50% of Islamists in the Middle East and North Africa. No wonder Islamic fathers and brothers have a tendency to murder their daughters and sisters when they ‘dishonor’ their family – they’re just following the example set for them by the Koran. Abu Azmi, a leader in the Indian Socialist Party and practicing Islamist, went even further by suggesting that female victims of rape should ‘be hanged’ because they engaged in ‘sex’ outside of marriage, a not at all unusual opinion in the Muslim world.
So while millions upon millions of Muslims are calling for the violent death of their neighbors who find Christ or are smitten with love, what do they think about actual dyed-in-the-wool terrorism? Here is where things get interesting. Rather than a majority getting behind bus bombings and school bloodbaths, the support for terrorist attacks against civilian targets drops to 20% or less in most Muslim communities, which is still around 250 million people worldwide openly applauding heinous crimes against their fellow man, a gigantic, mind-numbing number, but also likely means that 1 in 4 of them are lying. If you’re going to support murdering your next door neighbor for converting to Christianity or stoning your daughter to death for having a boyfriend, what could you possibly care about a bus full of Brits getting blown to hell in London?
Then there is the question of Sharia Law, which well over 80% of Muslims favor making the official law of the land.” Read more.

When the onslaught by Boko Haram began sometime in 2009, not many had thought that the attacks would assume such a murderous dimension as it is today.
Of all the attacks perpetrated by suspected members of the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, in the North Eastern part of the country, one that has remained in the minds of people is the February 25, 2014 attack on the pupils of Federal Government College, Buni Yadi in Yobe State.
In the attack that lasted several hours, no fewer than 59 students were slaughtered by the sect members while some of the victims were burnt to ashes.
In what appeared as the height of cruelty, the Islamic sect members arrived the College at about 2am and set the locked hostels, where the students slept, on fire, before shooting and slitting the throats of those who tried to climb out of the windows.
A teacher in the school was reported to have said that the sect members hurled explosives and fired guns into one of the hostels. When the pupils were trying to climb out of the windows, they were caught and slaughtered like sheep by the terrorists while some had their throats slit. Those who attempted to run away were gunned down.
The insurgents burnt down all the 24 buildings and staff quarters in the school before attacking the students. Reports had it that the onslaught lasted several hours.
A Junior Secondary School 3 student, Aliyu Ayuba, who fled the scene with a bullet in his back, said the assailants who were young men and boys in military uniforms and plain clothes, ordered the students to gather in one room and started shooting sporadically. Aliyu added that his roommates were killed and some burnt inside the hostel.” Read more.
Qur’an Sura 2:191-193, “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-Muslims] … fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.”
Flashback: Islamist Leader: ‘Our Religion And Our Way Of Worship Is Nothing But Killings, Killings And Killings … Killing Is My Job’ – “‘I swear by Allah’s holy name that I will slaughter you. I will not be happy if I don’t personally put my knife on your necks and slit your throats. Yes! I’ll slaughter you! I’ll slaughter you! And I’ll slaughter you again and again… I call on all my followers and brethren wherever you are, to rise and take up arms and start killing the vagabond. Kill them, kill them and kill them… By Allah, I will kill you. Killing is my job. Let’s kill them all, we’d rather leave this world. Let the whole world perish! May Allah curse you!’” Read more.
David Alton On Islamic Persecution: The West Is Sleep-Walking Into A Tragedy With Implications Beyond The Middle East
If he’s not careful, this British politician could find himself arrested, too …
- Recommended: Britain’s refusal to defend Christians in the Middle East is shameful
- Recommended: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’
Acts 14:22, “… continue in the faith … we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
World Review – “THE WEST is sleep-walking into a tragedy with implications beyond the Middle East unless it exposes the ideology behind radical Islamist thinking, writes Lord Alton.
Reports of religiously-motivated atrocities against Christians appear almost daily but the West, including some Christian leaders, seems to be in a state of denial.
Persecution in Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Sudan, Iran, Egypt and many other countries is relevant to us and by denying it, the nature and intensity of the suffering is minimised.
The West has to challenge a conspiracy of silence surrounding religious persecution.
Religious illiteracy among policy-makers in Western nations has led to serious mistakes in how conflicts in the Middle East are viewed. Those same mistakes could have consequences in our own back yard.
Article 18 of the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights was fashioned in the aftermath of the annihilation of millions of Jews in Nazi concentration camps in the Second World War (1939-1945). It states that, ‘ Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.’
But where is Article 18 in Syria, where Christians, some fleeing persecution in neighbouring Iraq, have been caught in the cross-fire and targeted by radical Islamist groups?
In Blue Nile and South Kordofan, the mainly Christian population suffers daily bombardment by the Sudanese government.
In Nigeria, 29 students were murdered by the terrorist group Boko Haram in their hostel in February 2014. Fifty more died in Boko Haram bombings in Maiduguri days later.” Read more.
Flashback: Sen. Rand Paul Shames Media For Ignoring Islam’s ‘Worldwide War On Christianity’ – “Senator Rand Paul noted in a speech today at the Values Voter Summit that ‘Pew Research did a poll and it indicated that 21% of Egyptians, 15% of Jordanians … 13% of Pakistani Muslims find terrorism acceptable, if not laudable… [I]f you add up the numbers in just three countries it’s over 40 million Muslims [who] sympathize with violence against Christians. This shouldn’t be understated.’ And indeed, if between just 10% and 13% of Muslims all across the Muslim world are devoted enough to their ‘prophet’ and to Islam, that’s about 200 million antichrist soldiers ready to raise the banner of jihad for the cause of ‘Allah’ and his ‘prophet’ against a world of non-Muslims. Where have we heard that number before?” Read more.
Flashback: ‘Time Is Running Out’: US Congressman Asks Why Churches In The West Are Silent On Worldwide Christian Persecution – “Congressman Frank Wolf, who has been a champion of human rights, is hard pressed to understand why U.S. churches are silent when it comes to advocating for persecuted Christians. The Republican Virginia rep. specifically called out big-name pastors such as Rick Warren and John Piper for their non-activity, especially at a time when Christians and other religious minorities in Syria and Egypt are at greater risk for persecution.” Read more.
