Canada: Ezra Levant Of Sun News Confronts Smooth-Talking Islamist Syed Soharwardy

Tip of the hat to Jihad Watch. Even though Syed Soharwardy may not be the most militant Islamist we’ve seen (he is even addressed by some jihadist Syrian fighters from Canada as being too soft), he remains yet another blatant example of how smooth-talking Muslim apologists speak out of both sides of their lying mouths …

Psalm 62:4b, “… They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly.”

Christian Pastors Tortured, Sentenced To Death In Muslim Qatar

06/07/2014 2 comments

It’s a good thing that Qatar, a Western ally, is one of the more liberal Muslim nations in the Middle East, otherwise they’d be torturing Christian pastors and handing out death senten … hey wait a minute …

By Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage Mag – “Qatar is the totalitarian state behind Al Jazeera. It is closely entangled with Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist groups which is why Obama used it to arrange the Bergdahl deal.

This story is also a reminder of why non-Muslims and foreigners should be wary of traveling to Qatar.

The ambassador of the Philippines to Qatar told Al Arabiya News on Friday that there are allegations of torture against three Filipinos being held in the Gulf state on espionage charges.

One man was sentenced to death and two to life in in prison this week after they were indicted of leaking information that could threaten the tiny rich state’s national security.

“All allegations of torture were relayed to Qatari officials, such as the Minister of Interior, the Attorney General and the Chairman of the National Human Rights Committee, all of whom promised to look into the matter,” the ambassador said.

He noted that the torture allegations were also raised in the lower court by the defense lawyer, “who argued that, in view of torture, their confessions were obtained involuntarily.”

“However, the court did not appreciate said fact,” Ambassador Relacion said.

According to the Qatari authorities, the Filipino pastors were spying on its military. Considering that that the Philippines and Qatar don’t exactly share a border or common military concerns and that Qatar’s military largely consists of princelings smuggling American weapons to Jihadists, that’s not a terribly convincing claim.

The Doha News said the three were charged of providing information “to intelligence officials in the Philippines about Qatar’s aircrafts, weaponry, maintenance and servicing records, as well as specific details about the names, ranks and phone numbers of staff members.”

The main defendant, the report said, allegedly received millions of riyals in exchange for spying services.

“He’s also alleged to have provided maps, internal reports and classified information about the Qatari Air Force base to Filipino officials, as well as recruiting the other two defendants, who worked in the engineering department of the first man’s company and were technicians at the air force base,” the report said.

This is the type of information that the UAE or the Saudis might be interested, not the Philippines.

So what is this really about? There are two intersecting possibilities Read more…

Death Sentence For Converting To Christianity: Sudan Case Is The “Tip Of The Iceberg” On Islamic Persecution

Evidence has again emerged indicting that if Western mainstream media actually reported more on the sufferings of Christians throughout the Islamic world, their lot would likely improve.” Unfortunately, the world continues to do all it can to appease, accomodate and assist the Mother of Harlots

Revelation 18:3a, “For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries …”

The

The “Prophet” Mohammed: Kill Her

By Raymond Ibrahim, CBN News – “Evidence has again emerged indicting that if Western mainstream media actually reported more on the sufferings of Christians throughout the Islamic world, their lot would likely improve.

Meriam Ibrahim, a woman who is imprisoned in Sudan and sentenced to death on the charge that she apostatized from Islam and converted to Christianity — and who recently gave birth to a baby girl in prison — was reportedly going to ‘be freed in a few days,’ according to a BBC report:

Abdullahi Alzareg, an under-secretary at the foreign ministry, said Sudan guaranteed religious freedom and was committed to protecting the woman.

Khartoum has been facing international condemnation over the death sentence.

In an interview with The Times newspaper, British Prime Minister David Cameron described the ruling as “barbaric” and out of step with today’s world (emphasis added).

Of course, soon after the BBC reported that Ibrahim would be freed, other reports appeared indicating that that is only a rumor — one that the BBC, which regularly tries to minimize the specter of Muslim persecution of Christians, jumped on — that Sudan was merely trying to save face before the international community.

According to the imprisoned Christian woman’s husband: ‘No Sudanese or foreign mediator contacted me. Maybe there are contacts between the Sudanese government and foreign sides that I’m not aware of.’

At any rate, why did Sudan say Ibrahim was going to be released? After all and despite what Sudan’s under-secretary says — that ‘Sudan guaranteed religious freedom and was committed to protecting the woman’ — Khartoum’s Islamist government upholds Islam’s apostasy law, which actually guarantees that born Muslims do not have ‘religious freedom.’

As just one example, back in June 2012 in Sudan, a Muslim woman divorced her husband after he converted to Christianity. The court automatically granted her custody of their two sons (according to Islamic law, children of divorced parents are to remain with the father, but if the latter is an apostate, they go to the mother). When the father tried to visit his children, his ex-wife threatened to notify authorities. ‘They might take the case to a prosecution court, which might lead to my sentencing to death according to Islamic apostasy law — but I am ready for this,’ the Christian man had said. ‘I want the world to know this. What crime have I done?’

And that’s the whole difference: ‘the world’ did not ‘know this,’ whereas the major media did report on Ibrahim’s plight, thereby exposing Sudan to international condemnation.

Precedents of this phenomenon — international outrage prompting Islamist governments to rethink their abuse of Christians — have occurred in other Muslim countries.” Read more.

Meriam Ibrahim’s Brother: She ‘Should Be Executed’ If She Refuses To Abandon Christianity – “Meriam Ibrahim, the woman sentenced to death in Sudan for apostasy, was ‘given a magic potion’ to bewitch her into leaving Islam – and should be executed for doing so, her brother has said. Al Samani Al Hadi Mohamed Abdullah said that he denounced his sister to the authorities because his family are ‘Muslim people.’ … ‘It’s one of two; if she repents and returns to our Islamic faith and to the embrace of our family, then we are her family and she is ours,’ he said. ‘But if she refuses she should be executed,’ he told CNN.” Read more.

Asteroid Called “The Beast” To Sideswipe Earth, Big Enough To Destroy An Entire City

06/07/2014 1 comment

Boy, that would leave a mark …

Luke 21:10-11, 27, “Then he said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven… And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.’”

By Mike Wall, Space.com – “Humanity should be thankful ‘The Beast’ doesn’t have Earth in its crosshairs.

This Sunday (June 8), the near-Earth asteroid 2014 HQ124 — which some observers have nicknamed ‘The Beast’ — will give the planet a relatively close shave, coming within 777,000 miles (1.25 million kilometers) at its closest approach, or about 3.25 times the distance from Earth to the moon.

There is no chance of an impact on this pass, researchers stress. But at 1,100 feet (335 meters) wide, 2014 HQ124 could do some serious damage if it slammed into us.

‘This one would definitely be catastrophic if it hit the Earth,’ asteroid impact expert Mark Boslough, of Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, said Thursday (June 5) during a webcast produced by the online Slooh community observatory that previewed 2014 HQ124’s upcoming flyby.

‘If it hit a city, it would definitely wipe out an entire metropolitan area,’ Boslough added.

Asteroid 2014 HQ124 is currently traveling about 31,000 mph (50,000 km/h) relative to Earth, Boslough said. But if the asteroid were on a collision course, our planet’s gravity would boost its speed up to about 40,000 mph (64,000 km/h) at the time of impact.

If 2014 HQ124 is one solid piece of rock — its composition isn’t known for certain — the strike would unleash an explosion with a yield of about 2,000 megatons, Boslough added. For comparison, the atomic bomb the United States dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima during World War II packed about 15 kilotons. (One megaton is equivalent to 1,000 kilotons.)

‘You’d end up with a crater about 3 miles across,’ Boslough added. ‘An event like that would break windows over 100 kilometers away.’

Asteroid 2014 HQ124 was discovered on April 23, just six weeks ago — not nearly enough time to deflect the asteroid if it were on a collision course with Earth.” Read more.
