| Christianity faces being wiped out of the “biblical heartlands” in the Middle East because of mounting persecution of worshippers, according to a new report. The study warns that Christians suffer greater hostility across the world than any other religious group. And it claims politicians have been “blind” to the extent of violence faced by Christians in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The most common threat to Christians abroad is militant Islam, it says, claiming that oppression in Muslim countries is often ignored because of a fear that criticism will be seen as “racism”.

No kidding.
Jewish communities throughout the Middle East that had been there for over 2000 years were mostly purged after 1948 but survived in Iran until just a few years ago.
Now it´s the Christians turn, even in Egypt and Syria, already greatly reduced in Lebanon, not even likely to survive in Iraq, haven´t been many in Pakistan ... ever. And we won´t even ask about Saudi Arabia, will we.

The PC crowd hate Christianity. It has moral values that rise above human imperfections and set a standard for living a holy life. It preaches Love your neighbor. The muzzies hate anything different. I would not be surprized if the PC´s have not cut a deal with them to take over America. Nothing shocks me with the muslin in the WH. I sure shumer and reid would love to be in total control under the authority of SA.

On the (very) bright side - this makes the job of the strategic targeting boys at the Pentagon that much easier: we won´t have to rescue/evacuate today´s Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah.

It´s not a fear that criticism will be seen as “racism”, it´s a fear that one will get one´s head lopped off for saying anything critical.

I unite with other Christians in prayer for those suffering/dying for their faith in Jesus Christ.
One day they will print the same message - Christianity close to extinction for Jesus has returned and took them Home to Heaven! That will be the news to report.
Pray for those in harms way all because of the fear of God´s Love/Grace. Many cannot understand how God can love everyone, even though He does not like/love their actions!
Obama is doing his best to accomplish extinction of Christianity in America and the media/progressives are helping him.
Just review again the Democractic convention of outlawing God and even coming against Israel, God´s people. Guess they haven´t read the Bible or want to believe it.
Pray for America. We need a revival of true Faith, fully coming together to profess Jesus Christ and His Word. Amen

New mosques are built in the U.S. every day funded by Saudi Arabia with the blessing of our stupid multi-cultural-worshipping government and media. Why do we not resist now when we are stronger rather than wait until they slowly eat us alive?
Why does America have a suicide complex?

Some Muslim fanatics hate Christians, that is true and proven. But see what Israel is doing to Christians in Palestine ... No difference. Christians are the only solution to Middle East peace. But Some Jews and some Muslims will do anything f possible to get rid of Christians. Google "if Americans knew" and check out their site. BTselem is e Jewish human rights group that is helping.

Islam is a sick and evil ideology that appeals only to the gullible, ignorant and the easily manipulated. Islam is a fetid virus that must be confined to the cesspools from which it spews.

Once again, the ignorant, or euphemistically called "low information voters" will blame the victims, and certainly President Bush, and the USA.
"There is but one straight course, and that is to seek the truth and pursue it steadily." George Washington
I wanted to believe that simple observation would be enough to activate the common sense capacity of free citizens. wrong-o.
There is no-one as blind as he, as SHE (emphasis especially after this past election campaign), who chooses to remain thus.
Fox & Friends had a guest on who is a documentary film maker, i think he might have worked with Michael Moore.
He heard about the giant mosque being built in TN (i think). He´d heard about complaints and resistance and thought the people were just bigots. Then he went to investigate and found the truth.
He is now attacked and ostracized by the Left. This is another type of persecution, the object is Truth-seekers.

Jeez. A national campaign to get rid of me. More emails than I can read. Threats of an advertising boycott. An answering machine jammed with hate-filled calls. It’s pig heaven for an attention-craving columnist. What did I do to deserve this? I suggested that we stop asking taxpayers to foot the bill for military funeral honors for all veterans. The people in charge of these things have already decided we can’t afford live buglers. One of the buglers contacted me, and that got me thinking. Why are we doing this in the first place?

Is the Iraq war to blame for the mess we are in? Now, I should qualify that question by explaining "mess" and "we." By "mess," I mean the dawn of Barack Obama´s second term, the predictably catastrophic rollout of Obamacare, the exploding debt and deficit, the stimulus boondoggles, etc. By "we," I mean conservatives (particularly those, like me, who supported the war), but also anyone else who doesn´t think Obama has done a bang-up job. There seems to be a growing consensus that the answer to that question is "yes."

Mark Kelly may not yet be a household name, but he’s the better or worse half of Gabby Giffords, and together with her is the public face of Americans for Responsible Solutions, a PAC funded by a Texas lawyer to ban assault rifles. On FOX, Kelly said, “In 1934, we banned automatic weapons. You know, I argue the semi-automatic assault weapon with a high capacity magazine is just too dangerous to be on the street where criminals and terrorists and the mentally ill can easily get them.”

Tess Guthrie, a 22-year-old from Lismore, New South Wales, said the 6-foot python was wrapped three times around her daughter´s arm. "I thought I was having a nightmare," Guthrie told a local television news station. "It was only because the cat was hissing that I woke up and saw the snake with its body wrapped around my daughter Zara’s arm."

Tampa — Danny Crane bragged that he was the "most decorated veteran in Florida." He claimed he had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Purple Hearts, an Air Medal and other war-related awards. He said he was injured fighting in Iraq, he was shot six times, lost vision in his right eye, had 24 plates in his face and broke all his ribs. He told people he did tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. And he told Veterans Affairs he had post-traumatic stress disorder. None of this was true. In fact, Crane was discharged from the Army after serving less than three months, and he never fought in a war.

The conservative movement took it pretty good on the chin earlier this week. President Obama and his liberal allies mobilized their vote and got it out very effectively in the key states. On Tuesday night, as I went to bed, I was extremely down and out. But on Wednesday, as the sun rose, my spine stiffened and it was a brand new day. Our conservative cause has taken hits again and again, and each time we come back stronger.

A new poll from Wenzel Strategies shows Rep. Todd Akin leading incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill in the race for the Senate seat in Missouri. It’s big news that Akin is still alive and kicking despite being abandoned by the national Republican Party leadership. Akin, who refused to succumb to pressure from his own party leadership to get out of the race after poorly expressing himself in an interview on the issue of rape and abortion, has been left to his own resources and friends to raise funds. According to the just published fundraising report for the last quarter, going through September,

The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,
