Ajaccio (France) (AFP) - A Muslim prayer hall in the French island of Corsica was ravaged by fire on Saturday in what prosecutors said was probably a criminal attack. The blaze occurred just months after the island, popular with tourists for its turquoise waters and picturesque mountains, was rocked by anti-Arab riots over Christmas. French President Francois Hollande vowed a swift investigation into the blaze, and action if necessary. "If it is confirmed to be of criminal origin, those responsible must be rapidly identified and brought to justice," he said. "Any anti-religious act must not be tolerated," he added in a statement. The building, one of the largest ...

In a recent column Dennis Prager made an acute observation. “The vast majority of leading conservative writers … have a secular outlook on life. … They are unaware of the disaster that godlessness in the West has led to.” These secular conservatives may think that “America can survive the death of God and religion,” writes Prager, but they are wrong. And, indeed, the last half-century seems to bear him out. A people’s religion, their faith, creates their culture, and their culture creates their civilization. And when faith dies, the culture dies, the civilization dies, and the people begin to die. Is this not the recent history of the West? Today, no ...

Vice Presidential nominee's LDS rant against two-party "dolts": A word on voting from Scott Bradley himself

To the editor:Recently, Geoff vonGermeten relegated me to “cult” status. He mistakenly stated that I did not vote in the last presidential election. While I did not vote for either Democrat or Republican because both candidate’s well documented historic positions on such critical issues as military adventurism, abortion, government-mandated health care, same-sex marriage, economic policy, climate change, internationalism, etc., made their potential administrations essentially indiscernible, all of Utah’s electoral votes went to the Republican. He laments that 11 million Republicans nation-wide did not vote in that election, and thereby threw the election to Mr. Obama. ...
Pope Francis Shatters Reformers’ Dreams with ‘Modern Family’ Document

Pope Francis released his long-awaited letter on marriage and families Friday, and despite predictions of radical changes in Church teaching, Francis hewed to the line of his predecessors regarding traditional Catholic doctrine on marriage and family life. In March, progressive German Cardinal Walter Kasper confidently stated in an interview that the Pope’s letter “will be the first step in a reform that will turn the page back for the Church after a period of 1700 years,” especially regarding questions of divorce and remarriage. None of this materialized in the Pope’s 261-page text. In fact, although the Pope’s tone is gentle and eminently “pastoral,” the ...

Psalm 37 New International Version (NIV) Psalm 37[a] Of David. 1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. 3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked ...

Muslim-Christian relations in Ethiopia

1. Introduction According to Levine (2007), Ethiopia’s religious traditions have at least three distinguishing features: first, Ethiopia received three great Semitic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) at a very early point. It adopted Judaism at the earliest period, and still has an indigenous Judaic community. Then, it adopted Christianity in the 4th century A.D. and made it the official religion of the Axumite Kingdom. This makes Ethiopia the home of one of the oldest Christian communities like Armenia, Egypt, and Syria. Ethiopia was also the first country who made early contacts with Islam and gave shelter to first Muslim converts who came from Mecca. Second, the three ...
Confession of Saint Patrick

Confession 1 My name is Patrick. I am a sinner, a simple country person, and the least of all believers. I am looked down upon by many. My father was Calpornius. He was a deacon; his father was Potitus, a priest, who lived at Bannavem Taburniae[Nota]. His home was near there, and that is where I was taken prisoner. I was about sixteen at the time. At that time, I did not know the true God. I was taken into captivity in Ireland, along with thousands of others. We deserved this, because we had gone away from God, and did not keep his commandments. We would not listen to our priests, who advised us about how we could be saved[Nota]. The Lord brought his strong anger upon us, and scattered us ...
Hillary’s Methodism

Hillary Clinton’s much publicized visit to Foundry United Methodist Church yesterday brought back many memories. My first assignment with IRD 20 years ago was to research and publish an article on Foundry’s then controversial pastor Phil Wogaman, a longtime liberal theologian who had taught at Wesley Seminary. He was an old time Social Gospel modernist, skeptical of biblical miracles but confident about perfecting society through state power. My subsequent report on Wogaman’s theology and politics was picked up by columnist Cal Thomas, which led to longtime Foundry members Bob and Elizabeth Dole, then in a presidential campaign, publicly quitting ...
Georgia Pastafarian can wear colander in Nevada license photo

When Chris Avino learned he would have to take a new driver’s license photo — this time, without a colander on his head — he vowed to fight the state of Georgia until the colander received the same religious headdress status as any hijab or yarmulke.There was just one problem: by the time Avino was told that he’d need a new photo, he’d already moved from his parents’ Snellville address.Instead of fighting to keep it on his noodle in Georgia, Avino simply got a Nevada driver’s license in mid-January. That state let him wear a colander in his photo.“I was tired of waiting,” Avino said in an email.Avino is a Pastafarian, and claims that the colander ...

The Iowa caucuses are in the rear-view mirror, the New Hampshire primary looms on the horizon, and by most media accounts, the leitmotif of Campaign 2016 is “anger.” As in: a lot-of-Americans-are-angry-and-that-explains-the attraction-of-certain-candidates, whether that be the anti-political-correctness anger of Donald Trump voters, the anti-government anger of Ted Cruz voters, or the Obama-hasn’t-been-radical-enough anger of Bernie Sanders voters. For those of us with long cinematic memories, it’s rather reminiscent of the Howard Beale character in Network, urging people to stick their heads out the window and holler, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going ...
Franklin Graham: ‘Islam and Christianity Clearly Do Not Worship the Same God’

Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God, celebrated evangelist Franklin Graham said in response to the controversial claim by a faculty member at Wheaton College in Illinois. In a series of tweets late Saturday night, Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, laid out his opposition to the recommendation of the college’s faculty council that the school drop its plans to terminate a professor who published her belief that Islam and Christianity worship the same God, which Graham said was “no minor issue.” Professor Hawkins of @WheatonCollege published her belief that Islam & Christianity worship the same God. This is no minor issue. 1/3 — Franklin Graham ...

Professional Atheist Dawkins Says Christianity ‘Bulwark Against Something Worse’

In a text that is coursing about on social media, professional God-slayer Richard Dawkins begrudgingly admitted that Christianity may actually be our best defense against aberrant forms of religion that threaten the world. “There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings,” Dawkins said. “I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death.” In a rare moment of candor, Dawkins reluctantly accepted that the teachings of Jesus Christ do not lead to a world of terror, whereas followers of radical Islam perpetrate the very atrocities that he laments. Because of this ...

Yesterday was Sir John A Macdonald Day in my native land. Calgary got an early jump on the festivities, with a two Mohammed salute: A brazen shooting in Calgary, after a gunman opened fire inside TEN Nightclub. One person was shot, while bullets grazed by other unsuspecting patrons. As Tracy Nagai reports, two of the club's bouncers are now being called heroes. So what's up with that? Drunken brawlers getting out of hand? Drug dealers? Ted Cruz's psycho right-wing siblings mistaking the heavily perspiring guy at the bar with a long drink of water for Marco Rubio? Well, Tracy Nagai's "report" is full of fascinating details: Spencer Wallace considers himself lucky ...

Maurice Chevalier and his brother Abdul As Kate McMillan says, the Canadian Press is in "particularly fine form" this Charlie Hebdo morn. Your uneducated, uncredentialed amateur would probably write something like: On Jan. 7, 2015, two Muslim brothers killed 11 writers and artists at Charlie Hebdo for publishing cartoons they didn't like, as well as a policeman outside. Over the next two days, an accomplice shot a policewoman to death and then stormed a kosher supermarket, killing four Jews. But if you're a highly trained J-school graduate you know that the trick with journalism is to identify the who-what-where-why - and then remove it all. Thus: On Jan. 7, 2015, ...

While postmodern literary theorists debate the meaning of “totalizing metanarratives,” at the level of popular piety we see the widespread substitution of “spirituality” for biblical Christianity. In this sense, spirituality is a project centered in the self and constantly negotiable — more about “meaning” ...

Billy Graham: Put Jesus in New Year's resolutions 'But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness' (CHRISTIANTODAY) — Every New Year, people are eager to shed off past mistakes and embrace a new beginning. Evangelist Billy Graham is all for self-improvement and fresh starts, but he is strongly suggesting that people open their hearts up to Jesus Christ first. “After all, each of us wants to become a better person and have a better life, and yet it eludes us. Even the Apostle Paul admitted, ‘I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out (Romans 7:18),” he writes in an advice column for the Kansas City Star. People’s New ...
We Need to Talk About Islam’s Jihadism Problem

It’s time to confront Islamism head on—without cries of Islamophobia. Holding Islam up to scrutiny, rationally and ethically, must not be confused with anti-Muslim bigotry. Ours was an inauspicious first meeting. Nawaz, a former Muslim extremist turned liberal reformer, had just participated in a public debate about the nature of Islam. Though he had spent five years in an Egyptian prison for attempting to restore a medieval “caliphate,” Nawaz argued in favor of the motion that night, affirming that Islam is, indeed, “a religion of peace.” Harris, a well-known atheist and strident critic of Islam, had been in the audience. At a dinner later that evening, ...
Why Thomas Aquinas Distrusted Islam
Post Date: 2015-12-27 17:24:36 by cranky

The 13th-century scholar Thomas Aquinas, regarded as one of the most eminent medieval philosophers and theologians, offered a biting critique of Islam based in large part on the questionable character and methods of its founder, Mohammed. According to Aquinas, Islam appealed to ignorant, brutish, carnal men and spread not by the power of its arguments or divine grace but by the power of the sword. Aquinas, a keen observer of the human condition, was familiar with the chief works of the Muslim philosophers of his day–including Avicenna, Algazel, and Averroes–and engaged them in his writings. Since Islam was founded and spread in the seventh century, Aquinas—considered by ...
Christ Hidden in Our Schools, While Muhammad Roams the Halls Freely

Jesus Christ has had to go into hiding in our schools today, while Prophet Muhammad roams the halls freely. In the U.S., the media mocks those who make their Christian practices public—such as praying for victims of terrorism or young people committing to abstain from sexual relations until married. Yet that same media attacks those voicing concerns about terrorism’s link to Islamic beliefs as being Islamophobic. In America, we see a nation so intimidated by political correctness that people in positions of responsibility make illogical decisions concerning the observation of a Christian holiday. Recently, Eujin Jaela Kim, a new principal at Public School (PS) 169 in Sunset Park, ...

The Christian Case For Libertarianism
Post Date: 2015-12-24 21:56:44 by Hondo68

The evils of government threaten all people, but ought to be particularly concerning to Christians. Ronald Reagan once said, “I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.” With the Christian Right now taking up the banner of religious liberty in the face of an onslaught by the secular Left, evangelical conservatives should heed Reagan’s words and consider libertarianism as a palatable governing philosophy to advance their interests. In his book, “Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas and Movements” (2004), George Woodcock defines libertarianism as: “A political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians ...
