Muslim Lawyer Brands Christmas “Evil”
For Some, Tolerance Is A One-Way Street

Dear Lynwood,

As you read the short article below, ask yourself what the “establishment media” would be saying today if the “Chairman of the Society of Christian Lawyers” had publicly proclaimed that Ramadan is “evil,” and a “pathway to hellfire.”

Remember, the Muslim lawyer who branded Christmas “evil” is not just any Muslim, but the Chairman of the Society of Muslim lawyers. Note also that he is the Principal Lecturer at the London School of Shariah and “a follower of the Islamist militant leader Omar Bakri Mohammed.” These are the kinds of people American financial institutions are affiliating with when they offer shariah-compliant financial products.

Muslim lawyer Anjem Choudary brands Christmas 'evil'

Muslim preacher Anjem Choudary has branded Christmas "evil" in a sermon posted on the internet.

By Murray Wardrop
The Daily Telegraph (London)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3699565/Muslim-lawyer-Anjem-Choudary-brands-Christmas-evil.html

Choudary said Christmas was 'the pathway to hellfire'.

The lawyer, who recently praised the Mumbai terror attacks, urged all Muslims to reject traditional Christmas celebrations, claiming that they are forbidden by Allah.

The 41-year-old shocked Christians and even those of his own faith by branding yuletide festivities as "the pathway to hellfire".

Choudary, who is chairman of the Society of Muslim Lawyers, ruled out all celebrations, including having a Christmas tree, decorating the house or eating turkey.

In the sermon posted on an Islamic website, he said: "In the world today many Muslims, especially those residing in western countries, are exposed to the evil celebration Christmas.

"Many take part in the festival celebrations by having Christmas turkey dinners.

"Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah.

"Many still practise this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the birth of Jesus.

"How can a Muslim possibly approve or participate in such a practice that bases itself on the notion Allah has an offspring?

"The very concept of Christmas contradicts and conflicts with the foundation of Islam.

"Every Muslim has a responsibility to protect his family from the misguidance of Christmas, because its observance will lead to hellfire. Protect your Paradise from being taken away – protect yourself and your family from Christmas."

Choudary is Principal Lecturer at the London School of Shari'ah and a follower of the Islamist militant leader Omar Bakri Mohammed.

Earlier this year, he led a meeting at the heart of the area where the liquid bombers lived, which warned of a British September 11.

Did Obama Diss Winston Churchill?

Did Obama Diss Winston Churchill?
by Marcia Segelstein

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Blog/Default.aspx?id=425198

After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the British government loaned a famous bronze bust of Winston Churchill, once voted the greatest Briton in history, to President George W. Bush. It continued to occupy a place of prominence in the Oval Office through Bush’s second term. But when British officials offered to let President Obama continue to keep Churchill’s likeness, they were rebuffed.

The official statement from the British Embassy reads as follows: “The bust of Sir Winston Churchill by Sir Jacob Epstein was uniquely lent to a foreign head of state, President George W. Bush, from the Government Art Collection in the wake of 9/11 as a signal of the strong transatlantic relationship…The new President has decided not to continue this loan and the bust has now been returned.”

The Telegraph, a British newspaper, reports that the rejection of the bust has left some British officials nervous about the future relationship between the two countries.

Young woman booted from team for being straight
Pete Chagnon and Jody Brown - OneNewsNow - 2/13/2009 6:00:00 AM

Central Michigan University is being sued after one of their women's basketball players said she was kicked off the team due to her heterosexuality.


Brooke Heike was a high school basketball star who was aggressively sought after by several colleges that wanted the league MVP from Washington Township, Michigan, to continue her record-breaking rebounding and shot-blocking skills on their campus. After leading her team to its first conference title in 18 years as a high school senior, the 6-foot-2 forward decided to attend Central Michigan University, which offered her a full scholarship.

But Heike says she fell out of favor in 2007 with CMU's new women's basketball head coach, Sue Guevara, and was eventually kicked off the team. She claims the coach, who is allegedly lesbian, took issue with her heterosexuality. Cindy Rhodes Victor of the Victor Firm, PLLC is representing Heike.

"She was not only kicked off the team, but her scholarship was taken away because the coach kept telling her that she wasn't her 'type,'" Victor explains. "And when Brooke would ask what was that, [Guevara] would say 'I don't want you to wear makeup, you have a boyfriend, I don't want you to have a boyfriend...you're too girly girl' -- that type of thing."

Victor says Heike was an excellent basketball player. She adds that her teammates liked her, but still Heike's coach refused to help her out. Heike ended up hiring independent trainers to help her. According to Heike's attorney, cancellation of elementary education major's scholarship came as a surprise.

"She wasn't even told ever that her scholarship was in jeopardy or that her position was in jeopardy," says Victor. "Out of the blue she gets a letter from the financial aid office that says your scholarship's gone." A teammate then told the 20-year-old that "the coach announced yesterday that you were off the team because you're not happy."

CMU representatives refused a request for an interview, but instead emailed OneNewsNow a statement saying they are familiar with the allegations and that they will defend their position in court. According to the case file, the coach in question was fired from a coaching job at another school in 2003. Team members at that school accused Sue Guevara of similar actions.

CHURCH OF GOD LIFE INSURANCE

My dad, Rev. Allen James Ball, died July 10, 2008. For years he and my mom paid premiums on life insurance provided through the Church of God. Our family received $3,000 from the Church of God insurance company when dad died. My dad's death unearthed an interesting fact: Because my dad died first my 81-year-old mother will receive absolutely nothing from the Church of God insurance company when she dies. Absolutely nothing! And she helped to pay the insurance premiums!

When my dad pastored the Angier, N.C. Church of God, my parents lived in a camper, about 15-feet long. Camping a few days in a camper is much different from living 24-hours a day in one, for months on end. Where do you go if you and your spouse have a tiff--a disagreement? My mother developed her first ulcer living in the cramped quarters of that camper in Angier.

When my dad first began preaching revivals times were tough. He was a very successful radio and television celebrity at one time. He chose to leave radio to become a preacher. I remember a time when we had nothing to eat. I don't mean nothing to eat the way a woman says "I have nothing to wear." We literally had nothing-not one can of food in the cupboards or one bowl of leftovers in the refrigerator. I don't want to embarrass my family if they read this, but this is an issue that needs to be addressed.

You need not consult an actuary to know that men generally die before their spouses do. It's common knowledge. Some widows, after helping to pay for Church of God insurance, as my mother did, are left wanting funds for burial after the death of a spouse . Is it too much to ask that these faithful, hard-working angels of God receive the same benefits of men who serve the ministry? After all, it's the pastor's choice to join the ministry and these faithful ladies follow their husbands from town to town, from church to church, living a lifestyle not of their choosing, receiving none of the glory the pastor receives, sacrificng their own personal wants, needs, and dreams.

We had no water heater in the second home we lived in after dad quit radio. My mom would get up in the morning and warm water on top of a wood heater in the kitchen. She heated water on the heater for my two sisters, for baths, as well.

It's a sad and surprising anomaly that the Church of God, which preaches mercy, giving to others, love, and compassion fails to practice what it preaches, failing to adequately provide assistance in the burial of all of God's children--men and women! I have the right to criticize the Church of God, because I'm a member of a Church of God.

When I speak with young people who are troubled, trying to find a purpose in life, I always say: "No matter what you do in life, always do the right thing." It's a simple motto to which big institutions like the Church of God should adhere.

ALBERT EINSTEIN -- Baltimore Evening Sun, April 13, 1979.

In a letter to the Episcopal Bishop Edward R. Wells in 1945, [Albert]Einstein wrote concerning the behavior of the Christian Church during the Holocaust.

“Being a lover of freedom… I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but, no, the universities immediately were silenced. Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks. Only the church stood squarely across the path of Hitler’s campaign for suppressing the truth. I never had any special interest in the church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly”~Baltimore Evening Sun, April 13, 1979.

ALBERT EINSTEIN -- Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1929

Albert Einstein’s mental prowess made him an icon for the disciplines of Science. As a Jew, Einstein had distinct views on Jesus, the New Testament, and the Church. Below is a clip of an interview from the Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1929: “

“To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?

As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.

Have you read Emil Ludwig’s book on Jesus?

Emil Ludwig’s Jesus is shallow. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot [a witty remark].

You accept the historical existence of Jesus?

Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”

Dear Friend,

President Obama's stimulus bill discriminates against Christians and people of faith. The stimulus bans universities and colleges from using funds to renovate buildings where students engage in "religious worship."

I fell in love with "This Little Child" the first time I heard it, driving on Hwy. 70 W., between La Grange, North Carolina and Goldsboro, N.C. It was written by Scott Wesley Brown. You can order his recording of the song from a music shop somewhere. My brother, Arnold, a pastor, and members of our church took to the song immediately when I sang it. Arnold requested that I sing it at Christmastime. I recorded it in 2006. I told the engineer/studio owner that I had sung a part off key (it's a tough song to sing, and my voice was not at it's best) and the briliant guy told me that it sometimes makes a song sound better if you're a little "flat" on a note, in a song. He refused to let me re-record the part. I hope you enjoy my rendition of this great song anyway.

THE STIFLING OF CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA

The stifling of Christianity in America is reaching a critical point for Christians all over the world. There is a new, solid, bold, concerted campaign by atheists to abolish Christianity, not only in America, but all over the world. We, as Christians, have a responsibility to God to do what we can to win the fight to keep Christianity and the freedom to worchip God alive in America and the world. I created this blog to do what I can to fulfill that responsibility.

I'm a Christian and; I'm a republican. God comes before my country, in my life, and my country comes before my Republican Party. I would vote for a democrat in a New York minute if I felt that he or she put the interest and well-being of America before his party, and his republican opponent put his party before our country.

Read the following:

Anti-faith language remains in stimulus package
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 2/7/2009 4:15:00 AM
var addthis_pub = 'onenewsnow';

The U.S. Senate has taken action that could mean a legal battle royal over the stimulus bill.

The Senate rejected an amendment offered by Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) that would have stripped language from the stimulus bill that would force colleges and universities to throw religious clubs off campus if the schools receive federal funds. (Go to http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=411848 to read the entire article.)

*****
Do you become angered by news like that? I do! But we do nothing about it. Well, this blog is about taking action against anything or anyone who threatens Christianity in America. For example: I am going to contact Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) to offer my support and appreciation for offering an amendment to protect the right of colleges and universities to maintain religious clubs on campus if their schools accept federal funds through the highly debated and highly controversial stimulus bill proposed by Barack Obama and Senate democrats

I propose ten principles, or rules of action, for every Christian who wants to take action against, instead of just talking about, threats to Christianity. They are as follows:

RULES OF ACTION

(1) Stay informed in matters that may affect or threaten freedom of religion in America.
(2) Contact your friends and neighbors concerning matters that may threaten freedom of
religion in America.
(3) Support your senators and members of congress with appreciation for their work to
further freedom of religion in America, by writing to them or sending them e-mail.
(4) Know who the senators and members of congress are in your state and your district.
(5) Assure your senators and members of congress that they no longer have your support
when they initiate legislation or support legislation that threatens your freedom of religion
or threatens to remove any reference to God in any way.
(6) Make a list of all contact addresses and phone numbers of your governmental officials, to
to make contact with them easy, fast, and convenient.
(7) Contact your senators and members of congress about every concern you have about a
threat to freedom of religion in America.
(8) Maintain a list of names of everyone you hear about or read about on television who
threatens freedom of religion in America, in order to ascertain their affiliation with
individuals and/or groups (ACLU, for example) in order to ascertain the motive behind
their threats against Christians and against freedom of religion. Boycott the businesses of
anyone on the list (Wal*Mart, Target, Ford Motors, etc.) to express your disapproval of
actions they take that threaten freedom of religion in America (replacing "Merry
Christmas" with "Happy Holidays" in places of business, for example).
(9) Contact talk show hosts and others on radio and television who support Christanity.
(10) Support your local church with attendance, tithes, and donations.

I will try to make this blog site as informative, interesting, and entertaining as possible. I welcome comments.

God bless you.
