By RICHARD N. OSTLING AP Religion Writer — The Rev. Franklin Graham, who outraged Muslims in 2001 when he said that Islam "is a very evil and wicked religion," told an interviewer for Wednesday's edition of ABC News "Nightline" that he hasn't changed his mind about the faith. Asked by ABC correspondent John Donvan whether Muslim groups had succeeded in altering his outlook about Islam, Graham said "No." "Do they want to indoctrinate me? Yes. I know about Islam. I don't need an education from Islam," he said. "If people think Islam is such a wonderful religion, just go to Saudi Arabia and make it your home. Just live there. If you think ...
Unlikely praise--Liberal author Michael Kazin on fundamentalist William Jennings Bryan as a hero for the left

Here's an early nominee for 2006 oxymoron sentence of the year: Michael Kazin, liberal Georgetown professor and frequent contributor to The Nation and other Bush-despising publications, writes an appreciative biography of William Jennings Bryan, often portrayed by the left as the dumbest major American politician until . . . George W. Bush. What's going on? Smart Democrats know that when Republicans grab four out of five white evangelical votes, liberal candidates are running not only uphill but up Mount Rushmore. Dems need to change this in 2008, and Everyone Must Do His/Her/Its Part: Some must hit the pews, others the phone banks, and Mr. Kazin has already done his brilliantly by writing ...

MUSLIM WHO SAYS THAT VIOLENCE HAS DESTROYED ISLAM GETS VIOLENT THREATS By Jeremy Reynalds (03/15/2006) Three weeks ago, Dr. Wafa Sultan was a largely unknown Syrian-American psychiatrist living outside Los Angeles, nursing a deep anger and despair about her fellow Muslims. Today, as a result of an unusually frank interview on Al Jazeera television on Feb. 21, Sultan, 47, is internationally known, regarded as a fresh voice of reason by some, and by others as a heretic and infidel who deserves to die. The New York Times (NYT) reported that in the interview, which has been viewed on the Internet more than a million times and has reached the e-mail of hundreds of thousands around the world, ...

South Park 'bigotry' leaves its chef speechless From Chris Ayres in Los Angeles THE soul singer Isaac Hayes has resigned from his job as the voice of Chef on the satirical cartoon South Park after taking exception to its “inappropriate ridicule” of religion. The singer is a follower of the Church of Scientology, which, with some of its adherents such as Tom Cruise, was the butt of jokes in a recent episode of the latest series. During Hayes’s ten-year run in the part, other episodes have made jokes at the expense of Christians, Muslims, Mormons and Jews. In a statement explaining his sudden departure from the Comedy Central show, Hayes, 63, did not mention the Scientology ...

Pat Robertson Calls Radical Muslims Satanic March 14, 2006 BY SONJA BARISIC NORFOLK, Va. -- Television evangelist Pat Robertson said Monday on his live news-and-talk program ''The 700 Club'' that Islam is not a religion of peace, and that radical Muslims are ''satanic.'' Robertson's comments came after he watched a news story on his Christian Broadcasting Network about Muslim protests in Europe over the cartoon drawings of the Prophet Muhammad. He remarked that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoons ''just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it's time ...
The Church and Jewish Ideology

The Church and Jewish Ideology (Reprinted from SOBRAN’S, May 1999, page 4) The prevalent Jewish myth today is not the founding myth of Abraham or Moses on Sinai, but the story of Jewish persecution. In our time the Jews are defined less by ancestry than by “anti-Semitism,” which is cited for many purposes, including the legitimation of the state of Israel. Most Zionists no longer claim that God gave the Holy Land to the Jews; instead they contend that the Jewish state is necessary as a haven for world Jewry. According to this modern myth, the Jews are in no way responsible for their own unpopularity from ancient times. What, then, is the source of such persistent ...

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA -- In September of 2005, ADL Führer Abraham Foxman issued a press release blasting Southern Baptists for planning a major campaign to convert Jews.

How Christians Can Become Atheists

How Christians Can Become Atheists Can Christians become atheists? Absolutely! I personally have known such people. You see, God is invisible, but the people and situations we meet in the world are visible. So it takes far more faith to believe in something or someone we cannot see than it does to believe in what we can feel, touch, hear and see with our physical senses. How then can a Christian become an atheist? For starters, all he or she has to do is be human and have humanly incurable problems---problems that only God can remedy. Next... He or she only has to be subjected to teaching, doctrines and concepts about God (Who remains invisible and only rarely defends Himself) ...

Conservative Jews to Consider Ending a Ban on Same-Sex Unions and Gay Rabbis

In a closed-door meeting this week in an undisclosed site near Baltimore, a committee of Jewish legal experts who set policy for Conservative Judaism will consider whether to lift their movement's ban on gay rabbis and same-sex unions. In 1992, this same group, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, declared that Jewish law clearly prohibited commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples and the admission of openly gay people to rabbinical or cantorial schools. The vote was 19 to 3, with one abstention. Since then, Conservative Jewish leaders say, they have watched as relatives, congregation members and even fellow rabbis publicly revealed their homosexuality. Students at the Jewish ...

March 2, 2006 Dr. Henry Morris Dr. Henry Morris, ICR founder As I sat in a San Diego church today, listening to a eulogy for Dr. Henry Morris, the father of the modern creation movement and a great defender of the Christian faith, my mind drifted back to a verse that our Bible study group had considered on the very weekend Dr. Morris passed away (Saturday, February 25): “Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end” (Psalm 119:33). I cannot think of anyone who lived out that verse more than Dr. Morris.1 Dr. Morris was as devoted a reader and follower of Scripture as I have ever known. Moreover, a passion for proclaiming biblical truths to others ...

Global reports indicate that over 150,000 Christians were martyred last year, chiefly outside of the United States. However, statistics are changing: persecution of Christians is on the increase in the United States. What's happening to bring about this change? According to some experts a pattern is emerging reminiscent of Jewish persecution in post war Germany. "Isolation of, and discrimination against Christians is growing almost geometrically" says Don McAlvany in The ...

So Much Heresy, So Little Time: Christian Comic Book Helps Kids Crossover To The Dark Side Christian comic book takes look at dark side By KHALID MOSS Cox News Service DAYTON, Ohio — The pages of most Christian comic books are filled with uplifting tales, colorful characters and carefully framed biblical messages. But Covenant, a new Christian comic book conceived and illustrated by Marvin Bean with a narrative by Steve Bates, flips the script on the story of Christ. What if instead of dying on the cross Jesus had lived to sire an army of holy warriors bent on forging a New Covenant? Preposterous, right? The random particles of this implausible premise collide in Covenant, a ...

2 hours, 26 minutes ago An expert on ancient Egyptian texts is predicting that the "Gospel of Judas" — a manuscript from early Christian times that's nearing release amid widespread interest from scholars — will be a dud in terms of learning anything new about Judas. James M. Robinson, America's leading expert on such ancient religious texts from Egypt, predicts in a new book that the text won't offer any insights into the disciple who betrayed Jesus. His reason: While it's old, it's not old enough. "Does it go back to Judas? No," Robinson told The Associated Press on Thursday. The text, in Egypt's Coptic language, dates from the third or fourth century and ...

BIRD FLU FLYING TOWARD U.S. By J. Grant Swank, Jr. http://MichNews.com Mar 2, 2006 The pandemic could strike at any time. If it does, the US is not prepared. Nor is any other nation prepared. If the bird flu remains only within lower animals, humans could go unscathed. But if the virus mutates to humans, then billions could die. That would set loose pandemonium: clinics deluged, emergency rooms overwhelmed, doctors and nurses in short supply, scrambles for supposed help-vaccines, industry shut down due to employees sick, educational systems likewise shut down and so forth. Society as we know it could come to an uneasy, unpredictable halt. Biblical scholars research the divine writ for ...
