NBC Asks Meaning of Christmas- Jesus Ignored

(Newsbusters) NBC Nightly News offered two stories on Christmas in their December 25 newscast, including a show-ender about “what Christmas means to me.” Substitute anchor Tamron Hall offered this introduction: “Finally, on this special night, a question: What does Christmas mean to you? Maybe it’s the presents, the lights, the music, or getting together with family. We put the question to people around the country and discovered once against that Christmas means something a little different to everyone.”
Somehow, this perfectly pleasant three-minute segment included lot of talk about family time and presents, and even someone saying “Happy Hanukkah,” but included no one uttering the name “Jesus.”

Conservative Virginia Minister Starts Prayer Campaign for Law Enforcement; 'This Lie That Police Are Out Hunting Down Black Men Has Got to Stop'

Conservative politician Bishop E.W. Jackson, president of STAND, said he believes that police in the U.S. are not targeting black men, as some believe, and is calling for a prayer campaign in support of the country's law enforcement officers.

"I have been saying that this lie that police are out hunting down black men has got to stop," stated Jackson, who is the president of STAND (Staying True to America's National Destiny). "We now have two cops murdered in cold blood. It's time for Americans to express our gratitude to our police officers."

Officials with STAND say that in light of protests against the police since the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, Bishop Jackson is distributing prayer cards to police stations around the country as part of his Prayer For Police Campaign.

Christmas In the Red Light District: Indian Slums, a Bethlehem Stable, and a Savior for the World

The sights and sounds of Christmas were on vivid display as hundreds of people gathered with fascination to watch and listen to the presentation. The music was loud and jubilant, boldly declaring the birth of Jesus. The live nativity scene – complete with adorable angels and determined wise men – was comprised of excited children helping each other adjust their elaborate costumes and stick on beards that rivaled those of Duck Dynasty.

I wasn't at a megachurch or a school play or a shopping mall. It was the Sunday before Christmas, and I was in Asia's largest red light district, the notorious streets of Kamathipura in Mumbai, India.
This Christmas season I set out to explore how some of the poorest and most vulnerable in India approach the Advent, and how Jesus' birth is presented and celebrated by believers in seemingly unlikely environments in our world.

"At Christmas we have the unique opportunity to go all out with the love and hope of the Gospel," explained Tom Varghese of Bombay Teen Challenge, the group organizing the annual Christmas rally and parade in Kamathipura. "Other groups have their festivals, and this is our time to openly share what we believe."

Satanist Group Mounts Capitol Display to Little Fanfare

LANSING – Visitors to the Capitol can now can view two interpretations of the Christmas season.
The Detroit chapter of the Satanic Temple set up its "Snaketivity Scene," which features a snake offering a book called "Revolt of the Angels" as a symbolic gift, just after 7 a.m. this morning. The snake is wrapped around the Satanic cross on the 3-feet-by-3-feet display.

The group does not worship Satan, but promotes individuality, compassion and views outside Christian and many conservative beliefs, explained Jex Blackmore, Satanic Temple's spokesperson.

"I think that this holiday season is a time of year that is celebrated in many different ways. Having our government endorse one singular viewpoint or method of celebrating the season is problematic when we have a diverse community of people in Michigan," said Blackmore, who wore an upside-down Christian cross necklace. "We wanted to add to that conversation by having our representation of how we may celebrate this time of year."

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson Says He Won't Share a Restroom With Women Under Houston's Equal Rights Ordinance

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson declared Sunday night that he has no plans to share a restroom with Texas women under Houston's controversial Equal Rights Ordinance.

Robertson, who was one of several speakers at the "I Stand Sunday" event hosted by the Family Research Council and others at Grace Community Church in Houston, Texas, opened his speech with the declaration.

"For all you ladies in Texas, trust me when I tell you this, when you're seated in your restroom putting on your Maybelline, when I need to take a leak I'm not going there," Robertson said to wild applause.

The event focused of Christians having the freedom to live out their faith without government intrusion or monitoring. The event was a direct response to the sermons of five local pastors being subpoenaed in a legal dispute over the ordinance, which some say will allow men to use women's restrooms in the city. Houston's first openly gay mayor, Annise Parker, asked the city's legal department to drop the subpoenas last week.

Robertson in his speech argued that America's politicians appeared to have forgotten the tenets of the nation's founding fathers.
"America, America, it cannot be said too strongly or too often that this great nation was not founded by religionists, but by Christians — not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Patrick Henry, great orator, one of our founding fathers said that," noted Robertson.

"The Apostle Paul said the Gospel has divine power to demolish strongholds. The reason the political pundits argue ad hominem, ad infinitum on television night after night … they call each other left,  right, liberal, right wing, left wing, but there's never any Gospel there, ever," he continued.

Why Blacks Vote Overwhelmingly for Democrats: Pastor of Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Rev. Raphael Warnock Explains

In the state of Georgia, black churches are on track to play a huge role in the tight Senate race between Democratic candidate Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue. And Rev. Raphael Warnock of Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church has emerged as a major player in the battle for the hearts of Georgia voters.

Last Friday, Warnock suggested that the Republican Party in Georgia will likely pay for neglecting the interests of black voters and attempting to suppress voting rights — by requiring a valid ID before voting — in mid-term elections culminating next Tuesday.

Continuing in the footsteps of the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr. and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who served as pastors of the church founded in 1886, Warnock actively works to get minorities registered to vote in what he sees as a complex mix of spiritual and civic obligation.

"Voting for us (blacks) is not only a civic responsibility, it's is a sacred obligation. I often remind my parishioners that in a real sense our ballot is a blood-stained ballot. It's a right won and redeemed literally through the shedding of the blood of martyrs," said Warnock in an interview with The Christian Post on Friday.

New Quantum Theory is Out of This Parallel World

Griffith University academics are challenging the foundations of quantum science with a radical new theory based on interactions between parallel universes.

In a paper published in the prestigious journal Physical Review X, Professor Howard Wiseman and Dr Michael Hall from Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, and Dr Dirk-Andre Deckert from the University of California, take interacting parallel worlds out of the realm of science fiction and into that of hard science.

The team proposes that parallel universes really exist, and that they interact. That is, rather than evolving independently, nearby worlds influence one another by a subtle force of repulsion. They show that such an interaction could explain everything that is bizarre about quantum mechanics.

Quantum theory is needed to explain how the universe works at the microscopic scale, and is believed to apply to all matter. But it is notoriously difficult to fathom, exhibiting weird phenomena which seem to violate the laws of cause and effect.
As the eminent American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman once noted: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”

Pope Francis: Evolution is Real, God Did not Wave a 'Magic Wand'

Pope Francis says the theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real, and God did not wave a “magic wand” to create the universe.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church said Tuesday that current scientific theories concerning the start of the universe and the development of life are compatible with church doctrines – a landmark declaration for a religion fraught with conflict over literal translations of the Bible.

Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in Vatican City on Tuesday, Pope Francis urged Roman Catholics to embrace current scientific theories as “required” methods to understand existence. The pope’s suggestions fly in the face of more traditional views that read the Bible as a literal record of the creation and development of the world.

Australians Captured Fighting for ISIS in Iraq Could Face Death by Hanging

AUSTRALIANS captured fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq will be dealt with under Iraqi law, where the penalty for terrorism offences is death by hanging. 
 
Major General Craig Orme, who is leading the Joint Task Force that has joined the fight against ISIL in Iraq, said that any Australians captured in battle would go into Iraqi hands.
“We’re supporting the Iraqi Security Forces, so if someone was detained on the battlefield, the Iraqis are managing that process,” he said.
The Major General said the Australia military’s Rules of Engagement for the Iraq theatre related only to use the use of lethal force, not the taking of prisoners.

He said detainee management was a separate issue that would be overseen by Iraq, which last year sent a message to insurgents by hanging 42 convicted terrorists over two days and 26 on one day of January this year.
It is highly probable that some of the estimated 60 Australians fighting in Iraq and Syria will either be killed or captured on the battlefield.

More Americans Say Boots Are Needed on the Ground to Fight ISIS

Many believe the air campaign is not enough, a poll finds

More and more Americans say combat ground troops need to be deployed to take the fight to the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), according to a recent poll conducted by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.
Approximately 41% of Americans surveyed said the military campaign against ISIS should include “air strikes and combat troops,” compared with the 35% who said the offensive should be constrained to aerial bombardments. Of the individuals polled, just 15% said they believed no military action should be taken against the radical Islamist group.
The findings represent a reversal in public opinion since a similar poll was taken in September, when 40% of those surveyed only backed air strikes and 34% were in favor of the use of aerial assaults and combat troops together.
Coalition bombers and fighter jets continued to batter ISIS positions across Iraq and Syria this week. U.S. Central Command confirmed that American aircraft and those from partner nations launched 22 strikes in Syria and at least one aerial assault in Iraq on Tuesday.

Edmonton Polyamory Group Seeking Non-Profit Status, Wants to Extol the Benefits of Multiple Romantic Partners

EDMONTON – An unusual Edmonton group is seeking to raise awareness about their unique formula for blissful romance. Polyamory Edmonton is a group of people that practise consensual, non-monogamous relationships. They are in the process of becoming a non-profit organization and want to educate Edmontonians about their unconventional take on romantic partnerships.

Founder Alyson Sidra, who is married and dating outside that relationship, gives a crash course on polyamory and explains why it can be a recipe for relationship success.

What is polyamory?

 

If someone identifies as polyamorous, they are open to having more than one romantic partner with the openness, consent and honesty of everyone involved. There wouldn’t be any cheating or anything secretive. Everyone knows who the other is dating or involved with.

John Lucas / Postmedia NewsAlyson Sildra, founder of Polyamory Edmonton, pictured last week.

What makes polyamory any different from polygamy or polyandry?

Polyamory can take on many different structures. People may have heard of swinging, for example, which is an open relationship, but strictly sexual. But polyamorous relationships are open to romantic partnerships rather than just sexual ones. Some couples might date other people separately, outside of their relationship. Others go into it wanting to mutually date the same person, where everyone is equally involved with each other. There are triads with three people, and other relationship groupings with four or more. How interactive those people are with each other can definitely vary.

Lord, It’s Hard to Be Humble When You're Discontented in Every Way

We live in a society built around perpetual dissatisfaction. As I write these words on my two-year-old MacBook Pro, I cannot help but to think about how much better my life would be if I went out and bought one of Apple's latest computers. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with my present computer; in fact, it is the best computer I've ever owned and still works as good as the day I bought it, maybe even better. The truth is, I don't need a new computer, but I've been preconditioned by the culture around me and the genius marketers at Apple to believe that every time a new, updated MacBook Pro comes out, I need to run out and buy one.

The Apple computer bug may not have bitten you, but I am certain there is someplace in your life where you've learned to be perpetually discontented. For some people it is cars, for others it is houses, or clothes, or books, or watches, or fishing boats. The list could go on and on. We have been conditioned to think that something will bring ultimate satisfaction to our lives, and we spend our lives on a never-ending quest to find the thing.

Alberta Tory leadership candidates attend Gay Pride, avoid abortion

Update Sept. 5: In the dying days of the Alberta Tory leadership race the pro-life Wilberforce Project has endorsed candidate Ric McIver. Wilberforce's Rosenke told members she had come away from meetings with two of three candidates "with a good idea as to who would be the best leader with regard to pro-life issues. Candidate Ric McIver has given TWP a lot of reason to believe he will listen to us and to our concerns in the future."

Being leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta sure isn’t what it used to be. Before Alison Redford, the party’s recently disgraced leader and therefore the province’s recently disgraced premier, no leader dared march in Calgary’s Gay Pride Parade. Now it is virtually de rigueur. All three candidates to succeed Redford attended this year’s event on Sunday and two actually marched.

On the other hand, the third, Ric McIver is said to have ruined his chances for the leadership before the race began by marching in the city’s Jesus Parade. That is why McIver, a Catholic, is rumoured to be sympathetic to pro-life policies, but unwilling to come out of the closet.

The front-runner, former federal Conservative cabinet minister Jim Prentice, is openly pro-abortion. The third contender, Thomas Lukaszuk, is Roman Catholic and a third degree Knight of Columbus, but his views on abortion are unknown.

New Iraqi Christian: ISIS Brutality a Turn off to Islam

ZAKHO, Iraq -- Northern Iraq is facing a refugee crisis, with an estimated 182,000 Yazidis fleeing to Kurdistan to escape the brutal Islamic State (ISIS) army. Many have sought refuge in Kurdish cities, dwelling in abandoned office buildings.

Just behind the northern Iraqi city of Zakho are the mountains that lead to Turkey, which is very close, just several kilometers away. Many of the Yazidis who have come to Zakho say they prefer to go to Turkey. That's because they can no longer live with Muslim Arabs.

One Yazidi leader told CBN News hundreds of Muslim neighbors turned against his people when Islamic State fighters arrived in Sinjar.

"These Arabic tribes, they joined them," Faris Elias Kholo told CBN News.

"They took away our females, children, old men, everything," he continued. "Even if we get back our homes, we cannot live with the Arabs because they usually try to persecute us."

Spencer: Obama Does Things His way - to the Benefit of Islam

A terrorism expert says Barack Obama didn't seem to care about violating the law earlier this year when he authorized the swap of five Taliban leaders for an Army sergeant who had been held prisoner in Afghanistan for five years.

In May, the White House released five senior Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who had disappeared in 2009. Under exchange terms, the terrorists are supposed to remain in Qatar for a year.

Now the Government Accountability Office says the Defense Department's failure to notify the relevant congressional committees at least 30 days in advance of the exchange broke the law. The GAO also says the Pentagon's use of funds to conduct the transfer, when no money was available, was a violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act, legislation that bars spending by agencies above the amount of money that Congress has obligated.

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, says President Obama doesn't seem to have any concern for the proper procedures.

"When it's something that is in favor of Islam and in favor of the global jihad, Barack Obama does not hesitate to disregard established procedures ... to disregard rights of the legislative branch, and to do everything he needs to do to give the jihadis what they want," he observes.

How a Muslim in Canada is Working with Jews to Save Christians in the Middle East

Kasim Hafeez understands hate. Growing up with a father who believed “Hitler was a great man whose one mistake was that he did not kill enough Jews,” the British-born Muslim of Pakistani descent has experienced firsthand how an innocent child becomes an Islamist dedicated to the death and destruction of those who are different.

Hafeez, who intended to become a Jihadist, was “saved” after reading The Case for Israel by Alan Dershowitz and then taking a trip to the Jewish State to justify his life by proving the Harvard professor wrong.
“I’m standing with my head against the Western Wall, and for me it was like a moment of silence in my own mind,” he said.  “I experienced this moment of clarity.  I’ve met people of all colors, races and religions who are happy here, who are content here.  And for years I’ve spread poison about wanting to murder these people. How wrong have I got it, how much have I messed up!”
Hafeez is now a self-proclaimed “Muslim Zionist” on a mission to tell his story and work to save his Jewish brothers and sisters, as well as all minorities under attack in the Middle East. With the support of the pro-Israel education group StandWithUs, Hafeez travels the country telling his story, educating anyone who will listen about the realities the civilized world faces from radical Islam.
But for Hafeez, that isn’t good enough.

Islamic State More Dangerous than Nazism

A displaced Yazidi woman looks out from an abandoned house where she is taking refuge in the Turkish town of Silopi 

CHRISTIANS are being murdered, tortured, raped, beaten, burnt alive in their homes and churches, killed in bomb attacks, imprisoned and driven from their homes on a daily basis.

They are being subjected to the greatest persecution in the history of their faith, but the world continues to treat this epic attack on human rights as a story of small importance.

A booklet was sent to me the other day by an organisation called Church in Chains. A map of the world in the booklet shows that Christians are being persecuted, with varying degrees of brutality, in roughly half of Africa and most of Asia.

It is not just Christians who are being persecuted, of course. So are other religious minorities. North Korea, which is officially atheistic, will crack down on Buddhists and Christians with equal ferocity.

However, it is generally accepted that Christianity is now the most persecuted religion on the planet, but the chronic under-reporting of what is happening means almost no one knows.

Christians in places such as Pakistan, northern Nigeria, Syria and - of course - Iraq are twice over victims of being associated with the West.

In those countries, they are seen as agents of the West and therefore as deeply suspect. And we in the West also associate them with Western Christianity, and therefore refuse to see them as oppressed minorities because Christianity ruled the West for so long.

It’s Time for Muslim Leaders to Speak up

AUSTRALIA has been forced to rapidly recalibrate its response to the threat of Islamist terrorism over the past few months. International intelligence failed to predict the speed with which the extremist Islamic State has swept through parts of Syria and Iraq.
Forces from the US, the UK, France, Australia, Kurds and some Iraqis are racing to prevent the Islamist psychopaths slaughtering the remnant 30,000-member Yazidi community on Mt Sinjar in northern Iraq in an act of genocide.
It is estimated as many as 150 young Australians have joined the ranks of the Islamic State murderers. They thrive on publicity and will certainly not be named here, despite their notoriety.
US President Barack Obama’s decision to withdraw all troops from Iraq was undoubtedly the major contributing factor to this humanitarian catastrophe.

Is Jesus Unique? Ravi Zacharias on How to Answer the 'Are All Religions the Same' Question

Jesus was always being asked questions. He also answered people with questions. And questions about whether Jesus is unique are not new.

For example, when faced with Jesus on trial, Pilate the Roman governor represents all the political and religious tension of the time in his question in John 18:33: "Are you the king of the Jews?"
Pilate is in this immense conflict within himself. Something within him is prompting him to say that this trial is a charade. But he's trapped between the political manoeuvring of Rome and the Jewish authorities he's subjugating. And he asks the crucial question: Who is Jesus? Is he unique?

We often hear that all religions are the same, but this is not true. They are superficially the same, but they are fundamentally different.

How is Jesus different? There are a number of ways:
Fundamental is Jesus' description of the human condition. He talks of the alienation of the human heart by being separated from God. He says that the heart is in rebellion against God: so deep is this, that morality alone cannot solve it. It goes beyond mere good vs bad. The heart is in need of something greater than just pulling ourselves up by our moral bootstraps.

Second, Jesus offers a unique solution to the problem. The provision he gives for you and me is absolutely unique, and it is not cheap. It is the cross. That's why you will find an Easterner, when they come to Jesus Christ, literally sobbing and sobbing and sobbing, because they have felt the anguish of what sin is. Their recognition of the graciousness of forgiveness is very, very unique. Islam says, to get to heaven your good deeds will have to outweigh your bad. In other words, you pay. When Christ comes and says to you and me that he is offering forgiveness and doing so through the payment of his life on the cross, it is an extraordinary truth. The Bible says that we need a Saviour and we need forgiveness.

There is only one place in the world where love, forgiveness and justice come together: justice was being revealed, love was being demonstrated and forgiveness was being offered. That is on the cross of calvary. Jesus Christ claimed to be the way, the truth and the life because he is what the absolute truth really is. Repentance is an anguished moment, but your tears are wiped away with the joy of forgiveness. This truth of Christ's grace is unique.

Thirdly, Jesus was unique in that he had no sin. Even Pilate said, "I find no fault in this man".

Finally, the resurrection is the ultimate demonstration of his uniqueness. Jesus shows that he is the Son of God through his rising from the dead. And, through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquered through evil, not in spite of it. It shows that there is a hope that comes from beyond the grave.

This is a precis of a talk given to the Keswick Convention 2014. The audio is available free here and will be summarised in a BBC Radio 4 broadcast on 24 August.
Keswick's mission is to unite with Christians around the world to commit to three big priorities for our lives and churches – hearing God's Word, becoming like God's Son, and fulfilling God's mission.

Obama Praises Muslims for ‘Building the Very Fabric of Our Nation’

Following on the heels of his Homeland Security adviser, Barack Hussein Obama praised Muslims for “building the very fabric of our nation” on Sunday.

Obama made the statement as Muslims around the world celebrate Eid-al-Fitr. In his remarks, Obama said, “Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to them and their families.  This last month has been a time of fasting, reflection, spiritual renewal, and service to the less fortunate.”

“While Eid marks the completion of Ramadan, it also celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity and reinforces the obligations that people of all faiths have to each other, especially those impacted by poverty, conflict, and disease.”
No, it does not. The institute of Islam does not reinforce the obligations of Christianity, Judaism or any other religion. In fact, Islam is expressly against Christianity and Judaism.

 
Mohamed taught his followers:

Quran (2:216) - “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”
Quran (3:151) - “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority.”

Quran (5:33) - “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement”
Quran (8:12) - “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”  No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.
Quran (9:29) - “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

Quran (9:30) - “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”

Quran (9:73) - “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.”

Quran (9:123) - “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.”

Quran (17:16) - “And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.”

And what if you are one of those self-proclaimed, non-existent “peaceful” Muslims? Well, the Quran has something for you too:
Quran (4:95) - “Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward…”

However, it was not just the lie that Obama told that stands out. He went on to state, “In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.”

Say, what? This smacks of the very nonsense that DHS adviser and imam Mohamed Elibiary tried to pass off as America being an Islamic nation, its Constitution being Islamic compliant and that Islam is the antidote to terrorism. Elibiary has claimed that Muslims have had a significant influence on the founding and fabric of the nation as well.

First, let’s correct Obama. America is a republic, not a democracy.

Second, to claim that the fabric of America is made up from “achievements and contributions of Muslims” is not only factually incorrect, it is a blatant lie. Think back if you will. Name great achievements and contributions by Muslims to the fabric of America. Up until Rep. Keith Ellison‘s election, American never had a Muslim representative in Washington. Even more telling is that Ellison sits on the board of a Sodomite and gender confused organization! No my friends, Islam is not really a part of the fabric of America. It is a cancer to the soul of America.

What I wonder is why neither Obama or Elibiary will talk of the real influence of Islam upon the United States? Why are they silent on the Barbary Pirates? Why are they silent on the jizya imposed upon our nation during that same time? Why are they silent on Somali pirates who have taken our people hostage and murdered scores of Americans? I’ll tell you why, it’s called taqiyya (Muslim deception). Taqiyya is used to gain an advantage against unbelievers in order to overthrow them and advance the caliphate (Islamic state).

Finally, Obama tells a blatant lie that should turn the stomach of every Christian and Jew not only in America, but the world.
“That is why we stand with people of all faiths, here at home and around the world, to protect and advance their rights to prosper, and we welcome their commitment to giving back to their communities,” Obama said.

He ended his statement with “Eid Mubarak,” which is also known as Salat al-Eid and Salat-al-Eidain, which are the special prayer to commemorate the two Islamic festivals of Ramadan, which Obama has forced America’s military to observe. Where is the Freedom from Religion Foundation on this?

All I hear is crickets.
Does Obama look like he is standing for patriotic Americans who want the law to be followed and who have given their lives in the defense of America? Does he stand for those that adhere to the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the only Word of God? Does Obama look like he cares one bit for the tens of thousands of Christians being raped, pillaged, forced to pay Islamic taxes and murdered in the name of Allah? Does Obama seem to give a single thought to the thousands of Israelis who are constantly defending themselves from attack, yet he and his administration make them out to be the bad guys and want them to be the only ones making concessions while their enemies concede nothing?

No, my friend, Obama stands apart from all these people. He does not stand with “people of all faiths.” He stands with the Muslims, period. And this should come as no surprise when Obama has only a 39% approval rating overall (still shocked at that number), but among Muslims, he has a 72% approval rating.
