Exclusive Clip: Swiss Politician
Against Muslim Takeover of Europe

North Africa may not come to mind immediately when one thinks of the threat of Radical Islam. However, an increasing number of violent jihadist militias have seized power in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including Al Qaeda that have seized control of Libya , al- Shabaab who are fighting for the control of Somalia, or Nigeria's Boko Haram. In this week's newsletter, Clarion Fund's Senior Fellow Clare M. Lopez takes a closer look at the disturbing violence that is taking hold in Nigeria.

Boko Haram Wants to Put Nigeria Under Islamic Law

by Clare M. Lopez

The armies of Islam arrived in the Nigerian kingdoms as early as the 9th century. The forcible conquest of North Africa--including present day Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco--imposed Islamic law (shariah) according to the Maliki school of Sunni jurisprudence over this vast swath of territory. Over subsequent centuries, relentless jihadist raids (razzias) as well as the penetration of Muslim merchants, scholars, and traders into areas of the Sahel and sub-Saharan Africa eventually succeeded in subjugating Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali and the entire northern half of the modern country of Nigeria to Islam.

Today, Nigeria is a large and populous West African country of some 160 million people, about half of whom are Muslim and half Christian and animist. Nigeria is comprised of 36 states, 12 of which have implemented shariah in the northern half of the country. As the renowned political scientist, Samuel Huntington wrote, "Islam's borders are bloody and so are its innards." Islam in Nigeria, as in every other place on earth where it establishes power, has shown itself aggressive and violent. [MORE]

Libya Turned Back the Clock on Human Rights
to the 7th Century

by Clare M. Lopez

Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC) leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil announced in mid-October 2011 that Islamic law (shariah) will be the basis for all future legislation in the country. The black flag of al-Qa'eda and jihad now flies over the courthouse in Benghazi, the town where the first sparks of the Libyan revolution ignited. The men with the guns come from the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a jihadist group accepted into the ranks of al-Qa'eda franchises in 2007 personally by Ayman al-Zawahiri. Abdul-Hakim Belhaj, the former LIFG commander who holds a university degree in civil engineering and who fought alongside the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in the 1980s and later returned there in the 1990s to join the Taliban, is the top rebel military commander in the country, with his headquarters in Tripoli.

Take Action

The popular uprisings of the "Arab Spring" were heralded by the West as ushering in a fresh new era of democracy and freedom in the Middle East, but with the rise to power of radical Islamic parties in both Tunisia and Libya, civil liberties and women's rights are in great jeopardy. The following petition opposes the hijacking of the Arab revolutions by Islamism or US-led militarism and support the call for a free and secular Middle East and North Africa made by citizens and particularly women in the region.

Yeah, But Who Wants To Bend Over George Will?

Heidi Klum - Supermodel, Reality Show Star ... Political Pundit?
by Hollywoodland

Supermodels have the world on a string, but few people rush to their side for commentary on the modern political scene.

Heidi Klum's recent chat with CNN's own Piers Morgan helps explain why.

Klum, the lovely co-host of 'Project Runway' and one of the world's most popular models, shared a key reason she became a U.S. citizen before the 2008 presidential elections. She wanted to sign up for the Hope and Change Express. Too bad she's not very eloquent in expressing exactly why:

I've been here since '94. I've been paying quite a few taxes in this city -- in this country. And I felt that it would be right for me to, you know, vote for the next President. And I really, I don't know, I liked him and I wanted him to win over the other person.

Klum is equally... vague regarding the first two-plus years of the guy she liked better than "the other person."

Klum acknowledged that it hasn't been easy [for Obama]: "I mean you can't lay it all on one person to make things happen...," she said. Klum also told Morgan: "...it's always very tough to talk about politics, don't you think? I mean, there's so many things, if you get me started, I don't stop. And how long is this show?"

Did Morgan really get her started on politics? It's hard to tell.

Zoikes!
Vapid, bubble-headed, Hollywood Liberalism thy name is Heidi Klum!!!

Crikey!!! She ACTUALLY SAID "I've been paying REALLY A LOT OF TAXES for years so I voted for the Marxist schlumph who promised to RAISE MY TAXES MORE." WHAT?!!! Are you NUTS?!!

Then after voting for Komrade Taxx N. Spendicus ("because I really like him") she then said "It's not his fault that the policies he supports and gets made law make things worse...you can't blame him". Really?!! Obama gets a HUGE MAJORITY of HIS agenda pushed through into law. It makes things markedly WORSE, horribly worse...but it's not his fault. That whistling sound is the wind blowing through her vacant head!

Boy Howdy! I have got to find a nice wall to bang my head against now...

EBC Missionaries Of The Week: Ben & Jennifer Bogle

The Bogles have just returned from serving three more years in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Ben is a registered nurse and originally planned to train community healthcare evangelists in the villages surrounding Wamena, but was asked by the national church to supervise and train the nursing staff at Klinik Kalvari. Due to the rising numbers of those exposed to HIV and the lack of a physician, the ministry outreach was changed to specifically focus medical care and evangelism toward those at risk or infected with HIV, tuberculosis, or STDs. This role pushed Ben to function well beyond his scope of practice. The ministry was challenging as well as rewarding, involving care, treatment, and spiritual outreach to hurting mothers, unfaithful husbands, teen prostitutes, and those who frequented them.

Ben and Jennifer have been asked to help with mission mobilization here in the northwest while seeking God's direction of their future service in Southeast Asia.

The Results of Islam's Teaching On Women & Sharia Law

Posted on October 28, 2011 by rev.larry

Oslo's Epidemic of Rape

Posted by Bruce Bawer Bio ↓ on Oct 28th, 2011

Back in May it was reported that every rape assault in the city of Oslo in the last five years had been committed by a person with a "non-Western" background - a Norwegian euphemism for Muslim. Now it turns out that there have already been twice as many rape assaults in Oslo so far this year as there were in all of 2010. At least one member of Parliament, André Oktay Dahl of the Conservative Party, calls the situation "critical" and is brave enough to acknowledge that many of the perpetrators come from cultures "with a reprehensible attitude toward women."

The Conservative Party has proposed several measures to combat what is being described as a rape epidemic: more money for the police; more police in the streets and doing investigations; faster results from DNA tests; the introduction of volunteer auxiliary police. There is something to be said for these proposals. Policing in Norway is a scandal. This summer it was reported that police departments all over Norway were so short-handed that they were unequipped to deal with the armies of drunks staggering home from bars on weekends after closing time. It was also reported that only fourteen of 430 new graduates of Norway's police academy had been offered jobs.

Gay and lesbian service members sue government
Oct 27 11:06 AM US/Eastern

BOSTON (AP) - A group of married gay current and former military personnel sued the federal government on Thursday, seeking equal recognition, benefits and the same support as married heterosexual couples who serve in the military.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Boston says the government's Defense of Marriage Act violates their constitutional rights and asks the military to recognize their legal marriages.

"This case is about one thing, plain and simple," said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which filed the suit. "It's about justice for gay and lesbian service members and their families in our armed forces rendering the same military service, making the same sacrifices, and taking the same risks to keep our nation secure at home and abroad."

The lawsuit names as defendants Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki.

Under current law, the Pentagon is required to ignore same-sex marriages.

Florida Appeals Court Defends Decision To Impose Shari'a Law

[EXCERPT.]

A Florida appeals court appears to have cleared the way for a Hillsborough judge to use Islamic law to decide a key issue in a lawsuit involving a local mosque.

Tampa Bay (H/T Susan K) In a case that has attracted national attention, the 2nd District Court of Appeal on Friday denied without comment a petition to prevent Judge Richard Nielsen from invoking Islamic law. The petition, filed by the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, contested a March ruling by Nielsen announcing his intent to use "ecclesiastical Islamic law" in the case.

U-Report

In our last newsletter, we looked at the growing threat of Islamic (Shariah) Law across Europe. In Part 2 of our special report on Shariah Law, Clare Lopez, Senior Fellow at the Clarion Fund examines the impact of Shariah Law in the United States. As you will read, Shariah Law is already infiltrating our children's schools, our college campuses, our banking system and even our military.

Islamic Law Conquering the U.S.

by Clare M. Lopez

Previously, we looked at the spread of Islamic law - shariah - throughout Western civilization, with a focus on how Western Europe already is slipping under its influence. In this segment, the focus is on the United States (U.S.) and how shariah is establishing a presence in this country as well.

In the U.S., the Muslim Brotherhood leads the offensive to insinuate Islamic law into American society. Established in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood (or Ikhwan) is committed, just like al-Qa'eda, to re-establishment of the caliphate and global imposition of Islamic law. Its Creed is: "Allah is our objective, the Qur'an is our law, the Prophet is our leader, Jihad is our way, and death in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration." Many of the Brotherhood's internal documents have been made public, as during the 2008 Holy Land Foundation HAMAS terror funding trial in Dallas, Texas. From these documents, we know that nearly every single major Muslim organization in the U.S. is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood or one of its derivatives. [MORE]

Did You Know...
That Islamic Law Commands Death for Apostasy?

In Iran, a Christian pastor named Yusef Nadarkhani sits on death row, condemned to hang because he converted to Christianity from Islam. From around the world, indignation and pleas for clemency pour in. The Iranian regime is excoriated for its barbarism. And indeed, the Iranian legal code is barbaric.

It is also firmly grounded in Islamic law, known as shariah. Shariah commands that any Muslim male who is mature and sane and willingly apostatizes from Islam must be executed. The Islamic scholars reached a consensus (ijma) on this point when shariah was immutably codified in the early centuries after the death of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. [MORE]

EBC Missionaries Of The Week: Ron & Nita Berglund

The Berglunds have been pursuing administration and leadership in Pontianak, Indonesia, the capital of the province of West Kalimantan, a city of over a million people. Though continuing with leadership responsibilities, in 1998 they moved into the Semandang tribal area where they are still helping with Bible translation and discipleship of local church leaders.

After the martyrdom of the field chairman in 2004, Ron was volunteered to assume that responsibility on a temporary basis that has now lasted for seven years. This has meant greatly increased travel around the field and more time away from mininstry to the Semandangies. But it has kept him alive.

Subsidizing Persecution

Written on October 22, 2011 by da Tagliare

You Are Paying Others to Murder Christians!

If you've been watching the news and following any of the 'Arab Spring' stories coming out of the Middle East, you may have seen your tax dollars at work as armored personnel carriers mowed down protesters in Egypt.

These protesters were conducting a peaceful protest asking for their right to protection from persecution. They were not abdicating the overthrow of the government or anything to do with violence of any kind. All they were asking for was to be treated equally the same as other Egyptians. In the midst of this peaceful protest, the Egyptian government sent in the police to stop the protest by whatever means possible.

What you may not be aware of is that the protesters killed were Coptic Christians and that US funds have been helped to pay for the armored vehicles and the police driving them. Reports surfaced that there were some yelling that they would kill any Christians they can get their hands on. Just last week the Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram reported that 36 Coptic Christians had been killed so far.

The US endorsed the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and has since been supportive of the military regime running the country. Part of that military regime is made up with members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is known to be a more militant and radical group with a history of using terrorism and threats of terrorism to advance their agenda.

At this time, the Obama administration continues to pump millions of dollars into Egypt's military regime, the same military regime that intentionally killed the peacefully protesting Christians. Trying to buy Egyptian friendship, even though the new regime has terrorist ties, is more important to the White House than to defend the Christian and human rights of fellow believers in Jesus Christ.

As a Christian, I am appalled that our tax dollars are going to support the Muslim persecution and murder of fellow Christians. Obviously, the Christian faith that President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, mean little to nothing to them. They would rather support Muslim terrorists than preserve the peaceful lives of real Christians.
