THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACON
When will the USA wake up to the fact that Christians are persecuted throughout the Islamic Middle Eastern countries? This administration's policies towards Islam must change; "tolerance towards the intolerant" is unacceptable. For starters, have the Homeland Security - Immigration Services shut the darn gates for Islamic "refugees" pouring into the USA by the thousands. It is not in the best interest of the USA to allow those who enter our borders, receive all the benefits of a "citizen", while they seek ways to conquer and promote Sharia law - a law that is against the U.S. Constitution. It has already been noted that over 300 Hezbollah terrorists are within the area of New York City. How did they enter our borders? Why aren't they being deported? Immigration Services before 9/11 were bad and since 9/11 they have grown worse. Time to seal up America's borders.
PERSECUTION ON THE PENINSULA
BY: - Saudi Arabia’s top Muslim leader recently issued a religious decree calling for all Christian churches on the Arabian peninsula to be demolished, a move that elicited protests from the U.S. government and undermines recent efforts in the kingdom to promote interfaith tolerance. Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Shaikh issued the fatwa, or Muslim religious decree, on March 11, although government-controlled media in the country so far have not reported it. A U.S. official said the mufti’s fatwa is causing embarrassment for King Abdullah because al-Shaikh is said to be closely aligned to the king and ruling royal family.Some observers note that the fatwa could put the mufti at odds with the monarch. Also, King Abdullah recently sought to develop interfaith dialogue centers in Europe. The anti-Christian edict is undermining those efforts.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised the issue of the fatwa during a meeting with the king March 30.A State Dept. official declined to comment when asked if the fatwa was raised during the meetings, but said “issues of religious freedom and tolerance were raised in the secretary’s bilateral meetings in Riyadh.”According to State Department officials who briefed reporters on the March 30 meeting between Clinton and the king, Clinton discussed the plight of women in Saudi Arabia during her 1 hour and 40 minute talk.The meetings included discussion of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear defiance, Syria’s revolution, Yemen, oil, and “reform in the Kingdom, including the role of women,” a senior State Department official said after the meeting. According to Arabic press reports, the mufti made the comments to members of Kuwait’s parliament, stating that building any new churches in the Arabian Peninsula is forbidden under Islamic law. He then went on to state that all existing churches in the region should be demolished, according to Kuwait’s Arabic newspaper Al-Anba.
According to reports from the region, Christian leaders in Europe have condemned the fatwa and called on Riyadh to explain the religious ruling. Reuters reported that Christian bishops in Germany, Austria, and Russia criticized the cleric’s edict as a denial of human rights and religious freedom to millions of foreign workers in the Persian Gulf. ... CONTINUE READINGThe comments followed a Kuwaiti government official’s call for ban on construction of new churches. The Muslim cleric’s edict is likely to cause a further rupture with the West, which widely views Saudi Arabia as a breeding ground for Muslim terrorists. Fifteen of the 19 suicide aircraft hijackers who carried out the September 11 attacks were Saudi nationals.
