I have made the comment many times before that it is irrelevant whether or not most muslims are "peaceful." The truth of the matter is that Islam today is defined as the non-peaceful type. Militant Islam rules the day. An article today at National Post makes the case more fully, arguing that the "zeitgeist" of... Continue Reading →
One to Watch For
According to this news story, Martin Scorcese is about to begin a film concerning Christian persecution. The film will be released sometime in 2010 and will deal with Japanese history. The film is a depiction of Shusaku Endo's book "Silence". It concerns the 17th Century persecution of thousands of Christians in Japan. The book focuses... Continue Reading →
Honor Killings Unveiled
Continuing along the lines of yesterday's blog, we are burying our heads in the sand when we refer to Muslim beheadings as "domestic violence." The trend after the Hassan murder is to call the situation "domestic violence." The truth of the Hassan murder is that it is an example of Islamic violence. Many are now... Continue Reading →
Head in the Sand
I have been reading about Mrs. Hassan, and I am stunned that her story is not being reported as ardently as, say, important stuff like Ted Haggard. If you don’t already know about Aasiya Hassan, you will be shocked, too. Newspapers are going out of business… and it isn’t just because of the internet. Mainstream... Continue Reading →
Enjoy the Web
Much evil is conducted via the internet; about that fact, there can be no doubt. However, much good is done as well. I have linked a couple of sites here which will prove my point. I encourage you to explore these sites and enjoy what you learn. First, Monergism is a theologically sound site that... Continue Reading →

Geert Wilders Again
I posted a warning on my blog not too long ago, telling you to pay attention to Geert Wilders. His story is portentous. It is a warning signal to us all about the direction our “tolerance” is taking us. Tolerance is taking us to a loss of freedom. Geert Wilders is no longer allowed in... Continue Reading →

Pipe Dreams
From the world of opium, we get our expression "pipe dream." The idea behind the expression is that the situation you are imagining in your mind is so fantastic that it could never happen. Because the situation could never happen in reality, you are limited to enjoying it only in fantasy. The opium pipe would... Continue Reading →
You Don’t Say
Guess what? "Islamic Nations Dominate the '09 Persecution List." You don’t say? Is anybody surprised by this? Every Islamic nation on the planet persecutes Christians to one degree or another. Notice also the presence of the Communist nation at #1. See the list here.

Couples are deciding to stay together instead of getting divorced. While we can all shout "Hooray" to such good news, we should first understand the reason couples are staying together.

Persecution Violates Human Rights
This story from China Aid makes the claim that the persecution of Christians is a violation of human rights. Isn't it astounding that such a blatant reality has to be spelled out for folks? Of course the persecution of Christians violates human rights! Yet, as the story indicates, it must be spelled out because the... Continue Reading →
An Odd Contradiction
The story linked here makes clear that a contra-gospel is at work in the world. The story is not theological. It is political to the core, but it does a good job of pointing out the abiding contradiction of the liberal mindset. In liberalism, there appears to be an on-going concern to protect the lives...
