Eight civilians killed in the suicide bombing against the restaurant Capo Grillo in Aleppo.

NEWS FLASH: While the Western media pushes the phony claims of chemical weapons use by the secular government of Syria the continued suicide bombings by the Islamists Barack Obama loves are ignored. Just as is done in Israel by the radical jihadists a suicide bomber walked into a family restaurant in Aleppo and blew himself up killing eight innocent civilians.

The Presidency
Priest says Obama does not understand Egypt – “Obama does not appear to understand the situation. This must absolutely be made clear: the Muslim Brothers are terrorists, and are tied to groups belonging to Al Qaeda and to the Salafites. The history of the Muslim Brotherhood, ever since their foundation, has been a history of 85 years of bloodshed.” Read more
Obama military being cleansed of Christians – Christian service members are now being forced into the closet for their views on homosexuality and so-called “gay” marriage. Their fundamental rights to free speech and freedom of religion are being routinely trumped by homosexual activists in the military. Their careers are being destroyed because they uphold biblical truths about homosexual behaviors. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk, a 19-year veteran who served in Iraq as a medic, has been punished for his Christian beliefs over homosexuality by his lesbian commander Major Elisa Valenzuela.

White House jokes about attacks on Christians – The White House’s deputy press secretary today downplayed Muslim attacks on Christians in Egypt, joking about the savagery that has left at least six Christians dead. Read more
Congress
Senator condemns attacks on Coptic Christians – Amid continued deadly violence directed against Coptic Christians and other civilians in Egypt, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) called for Congress to pass bipartisan legislation aimed at promoting and protecting religious freedoms throughout the region. Not a single Democrat congressman or Senator has made a statement critical of the slaughter of Christians in Egypt. Read more
Congress in recess – The House will return on September 9th as per the schedule posted at the beginning of the year by Leader Cantor. Because Senate Leader Harry Reid is nuts, there is no telling when the Senate will reconvene, or if they will do anything when they do reconvene.
Religion and Culture
Reeducation camps for Christians? – According to a recent comment by Brad Avakian, Oregon’s Labor Commissioner, business owners like Melissa and Aaron Klein of Sweet Cakes bakery should be “rehabilitated” out of their religious beliefs. The Kleins have said their religious beliefs were the reason for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. Read more
Terrorist Assistance And Facilitation Act – Retired Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) agent Michael W. Cutler says that the so-called “comprehensive immigration reform” proposals in Congress should be more accurately described as the “Terrorist Assistance And Facilitation Act.” He said, “If an Islamic terrorist walked into an immigration office and if we didn’t have his finger prints on file and claimed his name is ‘Donald Duck,’ how would we know better?

International
Egypt: Documented attacks on Christians – Violent aggression by Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists, including those sympathetic to al-Qaeda, continues to be directed at one of the world’s oldest Christian communities, following the military’s break up last week of Brotherhood sit-ins. The Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party has been inciting the anti-Christian pogroms on its web and Facebook pages. Read more
Egypt: Coptic Pope calls MB terrorists – Christians in majority Muslim nations face horrid persecution and their leaders do not speak out for hear of even greater reprisals. The persecution reached the level in Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood that staying quit was no longer an option. Now leaders such as Pope Tawadros II are exposing the terror they face and bitterly complaining that the Western media ignores the plight of Christians. Read more
Syria: The chemical attacks that weren’t – Several hours before the alleged chemical attack by the Syrian government this past week the “opposition” began posting pictures of the dead. Claiming 1,700 dead while showing older photos of twenty people being buried caused France and other Western leaders to demand “action.” Meanwhile the mass killing of Christians continue in Nigeria with no comment from Obama or any other Western leader.

Australia: Out of context? – Radical Imam calls for death of Hindus and Buddhists – “Listen, oh Obama, oh enemy of Allah, you who kiss the shoes and feet of the Jews. Listen! The day will come when you are trampled upon by the pure feet of the Muslims. “Oh Allah, count the Buddhists and the Hindus one by one. Oh Allah, count them and kill them to the very last one.” Video below …
