And it is somewhat disturbing to see the zeal with which they produce the material. David "Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech.

Every week all he does is straight news about outrageous things Muslims say and do. As David said, there is a limitless supply of material.   Here is the latest from Iran --   Billy   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ahmadinejad Reportedly Claims U.S. is Blocking Return of Mankind's Savior Monday , December 07, 2009 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims the United States is attempting to thwart the return of mankind's savior, according to reports from Al Arabiya, a television news station based in Dubai. Ahmadinejad reportedly claims he has documented evidence that the U.S. is blocking the return of Mahdi, the Imam believed by Muslims to be the savior. “We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world,” Ahmadinejad said during a speech on Monday, according to Al Arabiya. "They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. Ahmadinejad continued the rant by claiming there have been plots by both the West as well as countries in the East to wipe out his country, according to Iranian news Web site Tabak. "They have planned to annihilate Iran. This is why all policymakers and analysts believe Iran is the true winner in the Middle East," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the site. He also alleged that foreign nations seek to control Iran's oil and natural resources. "In Afghanistan, they are caught like an animal in a quagmire. But instead of pulling their troops out to save themselves, they are deploying more soldiers. Even if they stay in Afghanistan for another 50 years they will be forced to leave with disgrace — because this is a historical experience," Ahmadinejad reportedly said. "They know themselves that they need Iran in the Middle East, but because of their arrogance they do not want to accept this reality. They are nothing without the Iranian nation and all their rhetoric is because they don't want to appear weak." Copyright 2009 FOX News Network, LLC. All rights reserved.

In looking through some news on Christian persecution today, I found this interesting article written by Doug Bandow titled - Islamic Religious Persecution (I added the question mark in the title, for obvious reasons) The West's relations with the Islamic world remain troubled. (And why is that? hmmm)  The latest challenge was the Swiss vote to ban the construction of minarets on mosques. However, Islamic governments are in no position to complain. They tend to not only violate human rights, but also persecute Christians, Jews and other religious minorities. Many authoritarian states violate religious liberty along with other freedoms. But Muslim nations are almost unique in their willingness to persecute religious minorities to promote religious ends, as is evident from the State Department's latest report on religious liberty abroad.  Even the most moderate Islamic states often fall far short of respecting religious minorities. For instance, Morocco detained converts from Islam to Christianity, expelled Christian missionaries, and restricted ``non-Islamic materials and proselytizing.'' Many other Islamic states are far worse. Click here to continue reading the article and note the countries listed and all the abuses done to Christians.  Please also remember to pray for those trapped and blinded by the father of lies who need so desperately to come to faith in Jesus the Christ.
