Fr. Franҫois Mourad beheading by Syrian “rebels”

Obama supported “rebels” behead monk – This week we reported on the murder of a monk in Syria. The next day his beheading was proudly placed on Youtube by the Syrian rebels supported by Barack Obama and John McCain. Youtube finally removed the video but many had copied it. Two Bishops and several priests are still held by Syrian “rebels.” Read more
Obama gay pride – Barack Obama, who opposed same-sex marriage when he ran for President in 2008, called the “gay” plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case they recently won, to celebrate with them. Next comes the persecution of Christians who refuse to say that anal sex is normal.
Obama ignores Religious Liberty law – Last year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) included a provision designed to protect the religious liberties of members of our Armed Forces. Obama just ignored it and refused to enact regulations for implementation of the provision. Read more
Congress
Religious liberty may die with DOMA – Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and other legislators have spoken out against the Supreme Court’s rulings on DOMA and Proposition 8 which effectively legalized same-sex marriage along with federal benefits for “spouses.” These members of Congress pointed out that the decision erodes the traditional family and opens the door to polygamy.

Petition to Congress: Allow Christian terror victims to come to camp in USA – A full investigation must be made by both the House and Senate as to why three Christian kids who were victims of terror were denied visas for a summer camp, while the one Muslim on the same application was approved. Send a free fax to your congressman demanding an investigation.
Religion and Culture
War on the family continues – Just a few days before the Supreme Court decision to legalize marriage based on anal sex I wrote an op-ed for WND on the continued war on the family that began in the 1960’s. The Supreme Court forcing the federal government to pay benefits to same-sex partners removes a moral line that opens the door to polygamy. Read more
Can Hobby Lobby beat Obamacare? – Christian-owned Hobby Lobby has won a small victory against the abortion mandate in Obamacare. A Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court ruling that prevented Hobby Lobby from seeking an injunction against the abortion mandate in Obamacare health care coverage. Read more

Syria: Obama’s arms boat sinks – You can’t make this up. The container ship MOL Comfort, while carrying arms to Obama’s Syrian “rebels,” split in half and sank in the Indian Ocean this week. Many of the containers are floating toward Goa. Meanwhile the commander of the “rebels,” General Salim Idis said on TV that “Israel is an enemy country. I say that loud and clear.” Photo of arms ship sinking

Damage to Virgin Mary Cathedral. Western media claims the target was a security center several blocks away.

Syria: Suicide bomber hits Cathedral – In Damascus a “rebel” suicide bomber mingled with a group of people queuing for food and other basic necessities handed out by a Christian charity. Odd how these Obama supported “freedom fighters” blow themselves up just like Muslim fanatics. Read more
Turkey: Nation fast becoming Islamist police state – The nation of Turkey is rapidly becoming a police state under Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. He is turning the police into his personal army to battle any protesters against his regime. Read more
