Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Hard-line Muslims in Egypt Attack Coptic Church, Homes ~ Arab “Autumn” not going so well for Christians in Egypt; “Imams in more than 20 mosques called for crowds to gather and destroy the church and demolish the houses of the Copts and loot their properties.”
Treasury Direct at Pay.gov ~ Forward this link to Warren Buffet, and other wealthy Lefties you know, who feel guilty over not paying enough in taxes. On this webpage they can donate as much as they’d like “to help reduce the public debt.”
Living amid Hollywood hypocrisy ~ Janine Turner (remember “Northern Exposure”?) in the Washington Examiner: “(Hollywood liberals) are the ultimate connoisseurs who insist on living liberty at large. Yet somehow, (they) gag at the very thought of capitalism going on elsewhere.”
Obama’s Holiday Greeting: Does He Now Claim He’s Jewish ~ Michael Medved on Obama’s oh-so-sincere Rosh Hashanah message. Couldn’t quite whip up the same enthusiasm he had for The “Holy Days of Ramadan”; Barack Hussein Obama had no message for Easter 2011 but has one for Ramadan
“Chrislam” – Straight from the Pits of Hell ~ New “religion” for the seriously misguided.
Loving their enemies ~ “A Christian ministry working with Israeli doctors treats nearby Muslim children and adults one heart at a time.” A better, Biblical way, to interact with the Muslim community.
Jonathan Miles, Shevet Achim coordinator, sums the larger purpose behind the organization this way: “Maybe the ultimate good news behind our work is this: The New Testament is the only possible peace treaty between Jews and non-Jews. I believe the conflict in the Middle East is spiritual at its core. Accepting Jewish sovereignty over a single grain of sand is unthinkable to religious Muslims, since it contradicts the claim—which some Christians also like to make—that God has rejected His chosen people in favor of another. So you have two or three peoples in a death struggle over who is really chosen. Only the New Testament has the spiritual solution—affirming God’s choice of Israel, but then gloriously revealing how the death and resurrection of the Messiah has torn down the wall which once divided Jews from non-Jews.”
Amen.
