One of the most influential evangelical leaders in the United States says Christians should go to jail rather than comply with the Obama administration’s mandate to provide all contraception, including abortion-inducing drugs, in their health care plans. Dr. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), told LifeSiteNews.com “we will not comply” with the Dept. of Health and Human Services’ mandate requiring religious institutions to cover abortifacient products such as Plan B, Ella, and the IUD. “We want the law changed, or else we’re going to write our letters from the Nashville jail, just...

Police have now concluded that a car that overturned and crashed between Kiryat Arba and Carmei Tzur on Friday, in which a 25-year old father and his infant son were killed, was attacked by stone-throwing 'Palestinians.' The car turned over on Route 60 in the West Bank, between Kiryat Arba and Karmei Tzur. Soldiers who were at the scene claimed that they did not witness rocks being thrown toward the road, but at a court hearing the police representative said that there was reasonable suspicion that the car veered off the road due to a rock shattering the windshield. The...

Is there really such a thing as a “moderate Muslim”? Or, are there only Muslims and apostate Muslims? I suspect the latter. We always read about “radical Islam” as if there is a distinction between it and “regular” Islam. But how is Islam not radical? How is Islamic Shariah law not radical? Even a cursory study of Islamic Shariah law reveals a brutal, oppressive and ignorant ideology that is completely at odds with western civilization. There can be no doubt that Islam is radical, period. Of course, not every Muslim straps on a bomb or cuts off people’s heads, but...

For years, world media outlets have parroted Arab propaganda that stated that weekly riots at Bil'in and Naalin are peaceful protests. The latest libel against Israel regarding Bil'in is that a demonstrator, Jawaher Abu Rahma, died of tear gas inhalation. The IDF shows video that makes it clear just how peaceful the Bil'in protests are. -(video) Every Friday, demonstrators riot near the village of Bil'in, supposedy to protest the route of the security fence there. The Israeli High Court ruled that the fence should be repositioned, and work is currently underway for the new fence. When the new security fence...

The Palestinian Authority's television station has repeatedly broadcast a song glorifying violence and war on Israel over the past three months. The song was originally performed as part of a Palestinian Culture Festival held in Ramallah. It was translated by the Palestinian Media Watch organization.

A number of media outlets continue to hold water for the weekend's pro-illegal immigration protesters, as NewsBusters has reported, painting violence at many rallies as somehow unexpected or not representative of the larger movement.

Caller: I'm very frustrated about what happened they didn't listen to the people at all. I don't know if you happened to hear what Michelle Bachmann said about peacefully not complying with obamacare? I think that's going to be me. I have read the bill and I know about the provisions that will throw me in prison and really I don't care. I'll be more than happy to go to prison to fight for my freedom. Host: How do you see your freedom on the line here? Caller: They are taking our money by fiat. They are taking our money...

Sounds like this video was produced in Great Britain. It was posted a week or so ago and it's a parody of highly politically charged outdoors peaceful protesting. The title says it all actually and it's quite entertaining!

The imprisoned-in-their-own-country Iranians, who know they'll likely get bludgeoned bloody, and might even get killed, were nevertheless in the streets by the tens-of-thousands; in peaceful but unmistakable protest making sure the powers that be understood their displeasure. Obama (like Ahmedinejad, an illegal usurper to a seat he by law cannot hold) in 6 months takes America from a nation of laws guided by a Constitution to a banana republic dictatorship (rapidly headed for third-world junk bond status) with Czars, unelected and answering to nobody but His Highness, to run everything from car companies and banks to when and where I...

DIYALA — Coalition leadership recently gathered to bid farewell to former Diyala provincial Governor Ra’ad Hameed Al-Mula Jowad Al-Tamimi here at Forward Operating Base Warhorse.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iceland is the world's most peaceful nation while the United States is ranked among the bottom third, according to a study released on Tuesday. The "Global Peace Index," compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, ranked the United States 97th out of 140 countries according to how peaceful they were domestically and how they interacted with the outside world. The United States slipped from 96th last year, but was still ahead of foe Iran which ranked 105th. It, however, lagged Belarus, Cuba, South Korea, Chile, Libya and others which were listed as more peaceful. Iraq, which the United...

NEW CASTLE - It was 10 years ago that a group of highly educated, affluent Muslims who had been drawn to the comfortable lifestyle and top-ranked schools of northern Westchester began to pursue a vision of a new community. ***** Members of the UWMS already take part in several interfaith groups. *********** Most worshippers who come to the mosque are Sunni Muslims. But the Sunni-Shiite split that is so important in Iraq and much of the Muslim world is largely meaningless to a multiethnic, American start-up mosque. "We try not to make any distinctions between sects," said Anees Shaikh, 35,...

FORWARD OPERATING BASE LOYALTY, Iraq, July 10, 2007 — This past spring, soldiers from 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, along with their Iraqi counterparts, started clearing one of the neighborhoods in eastern Baghdad. It was, at first, a routine mission in the Fadhl area, but soon turned into a bloody firefight that lasted five hours, and resulted in 14 wounded U.S. troops and scores of unknown enemy dead and wounded. "This is the first tangible aid the residents have ever seen. The set of meetings really broke the ice and ever since, violence has decreased significantly. The generator will...

THE PEACEFUL MUSLIM A man whose family was part of the German aristocracy prior to World War Two owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave should guide our attitude toward Islamic fanaticism. “Very few people were true Nazis "he said," but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew...

BAGHDAD — Iraqi and Coalition force troops have the military capacity, and the Iraqi people have the political will, to get Iraq under control and moving toward a peaceful future, U.S. commanders in the Middle East said recently. But despite solid joint security planning efforts, an increase in U.S. and Iraqi troops in Baghdad and a collective will for peace among the Iraqi people, U.S. officials predict the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan could be marred by high levels of violence as insurgents and terrorists try to sew sectarian division and weaken Iraqi and Coalition resolve. Army Gen. John...

All countries have right to peaceful nuke tech — Jordan By Alia Shukri Hamzeh AMMAN — Foreign Minister Abdul Ilah Khatib on Wednesday said Jordan believed that all countries have the right to acquire nuclear technology for peaceful means and urged a diplomatic solution to Iran’s atomic problem with the West. “In principle, we support all countries’ right to attain nuclear technology for peaceful purposes,” Khatib told a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki following talks. He also urged avoiding escalation of tension over Iran’s nuclear programme, saying that the region was already under immense pressure. King...

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's hard-line president said Tuesday that the country has joined the club of nuclear countries by successfully enriching uranium for the first time — a key process in what Iran maintains is a peaceful energy program. The announcement from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was certain to heighten international tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program. The U.N. Security Council has demanded that Iran stop all enrichment by April 28 because of suspicions the program is designed to make nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad warned the West that trying to force it to abandon uranium enrichment would "cause an everlasting hatred in the...

Anthropologists: Early Humans Probably Pretty Peaceful Friday, March 17, 2006 By Heather Whipps Depending on which journals you've picked up in recent months, early humans were either peace-loving softies or war-mongering buffoons. Which theory is to be believed? A little bit of both, says one archaeologist, who warns against making generalizations when it comes to our long and varied prehistory. The newest claim concerns Australopithecus afarensis, who lived approximately five million years ago and is one of the first hominids that can be linked directly to our lineage with some certainty. Scientists say the small and furry creature was hardly...

On the surface, it was gratifying to note a peaceful protest by Muslims against the Mohammed caricatures today in London's Trafalgar Square. Peaceful assembly and free expression are the means by which civilized societies work out internal differences. But was today's demonstration truly a spontaneous, lawful expression of free speech, or carefully orchestrated public relations damage control for Islam? The BBC reports: Protests held in London last week sparked outrage when demonstrators carried placards with strong messages - the Metropolitan Police said some protesters could be charged with "incitement to murder". According to CNN.com, last week's Muslim "protestors" carried placards...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2005 – This has been a year of strong progress toward a freer, more peaceful world and a more prosperous America, President George W. Bush said in his weekly radio address today. "This year we watched the Iraqi people defy the terrorists and suicide bombers and hold three successful elections, voting to choose the only constitutional, democratic government in the Arab world," Bush said." We also saw the people of Afghanistan elect a democratic parliament in a nation that only a few years ago was ruled by the Taliban. "These are amazing achievements in the history of...

FORWARD OPERATING BASE LOYALTY, Iraq, Dec. 15, 2005 – Baghdad took on an air of celebration as the polls closed on this historic election day with little terrorist action. East Baghdad saw one rocket attack, with no direct attacks on polling places or on Iraqis going to vote. Iraqi citizens reported a small homemade bomb that terrorists planted near a polling site, and Iraqi and coalition explosive ordnance technicians rendered it safe. Turnout was high all over the region. Salman Pak, a primarily Sunni area south of here, had people lined up to vote when the polls opened at 7...

Venerable white-bearded dervishes and high-heeled girls with garish lipstick found rare common ground before dawn on Tuesday, celebrating an Iranian holiday with the mystical chants of the Sufis. Sufi Muslim spirituality is largely tolerated under Iran’s strict Islamic laws, although senior religious figures occasionally call for a clampdown on its rites. Under an almost full moon, several hundred Iranians came to celebrate the birthday of the ‘Mahdi’ at the Zahir-od-dowleh cemetery in northern Tehran, a dervish hub where many writers and artists are buried. The Mahdi is a key figure of Shi’ite Islam, a descendant of the Prophet Mohammad whose...

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Iran's top nuclear official, upbeat after a Moscow visit, reminded the West on Monday that Tehran had powerful allies opposed to referring its suspected atomic weapons programme to the U.N. Security Council. The European Union and the United States want the Security Council to take up Iran's case after Tehran resumed uranium processing last month, effectively halting talks aimed at curbing its nuclear ambitions. But Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation head Gholamreza Aghazadeh said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which currently monitors Tehran's nuclear programme, had no reasons to get the Security Council involved. "Based on IAEA...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Friday for the first time accepted that Iran can develop civilian nuclear programs, backing an EU proposal that would allow Tehran to pursue atomic power in exchange for giving up fuel work. In a compromise that completed a gradual shift in U.S. policy, Washington acquiesced because it believes the EU offer has enough safeguards to prevent Iran diverting its civilian work into making nuclear bombs. "We support the (Europeans') effort and the proposal they have put forward to find a diplomatic solution to this problem and to seek an end to Iran's nuclear...

Mr. Kamal Nawash who calls himself the “president of Free Muslims Against Terrorism, with 15 chapters across America” is planning to meet the Congressman Tom Tancredo this Wednesday. In a communiqué Mr. Nawash expressed his “understanding of the frustration of the Congressman” when the latter hypothetically said; America should bomb the Islamic Holy Sites in Mecca as a deterrent to Islamic terrorism. He plans to tell the Congressman Tancredo who expressed the sentiment of millions of Americans who on daily bases watch in horror as dozens of innocent people are murdered in the name of Islam, that “many Muslims share...

ON HIS last visit to relatives in Pakistan this year, one of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer, boasted of wanting to die in a revenge attack over the way Muslims are treated. While his family in Leeds had no idea about his suicide mission, Tanweer confessed to his cousin his ambition to become a “holy warrior”. At his father’s home village 30 miles from Faisalabad, Mohammad Saleem described yesterday how Tanweer, 22, hero-worshipped Osama bin Laden. Mr Saleem supported his cousin’s bombing at Aldgate station which killed seven people, saying: “Whatever he has done, if he has done it, then...

IRAN Imprisoned Journalist Akbar Ganji / Concern Over Brutality Towards Peaceful Protestors / Importance of Freedom of the Press QUESTION: Can I ask you about the case of Ganji, the journalist who's jailed in Iran? My question is, the Bush Administration has made clear that they want him released and also has urged human rights group, the United Nations, to try and sort of pressure on the case. Given all that's happened in the United States about journalism and the journalist who has been jailed, does that kind of diminish your chances of persuading other people to do it? It's...
