Islam is of the Devil signs vandalized
Last night one of our signs was vandalized. This is private property and vandalism is a crime here in America. In Islam, many actions that we consider to be crimes are encouraged, condoned or sheltered under Islamic teaching and practice, though. Another reason to burn a Koran. The signs have been in front of the church for a year. They are made of sturdy plywood and the missing sign will be replaced.

Nehemiah Part 35: We have lost freedom of speech
In Nehemiah we are continuing the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. Nehemiah had lots of trouble. As we have said before, show us a church with lots of trouble - they are probably going the right way. Probably, more than likely. The happy church on the corner, the church with no controversy is probably not going the right way. We see that Nehemiah started to rebuild the wall, did something good.
Sharia Law requires wrist amputation for theft - and don't talk about it
Free speech is not compatible with Sharia Law, the laws of society in an Islamic State. In Kano, Nigeria, a man's hand was amputated for theft. Only some states in Nigeria enforce Sharia, but now the Nigerian Government is banning internet discussion of the topic, even among non-Moslems. This is the powerful reach is Islamic sensibilities when any opposition to Islam is voiced.
Scare tactics and the truth; Islam and free speech
Scared of Islam? Scared of Christians? Two curious questions in the media this week. My response, Islam is dangerous and demonic, a false religion with political aspirations that are not compatible with America's values and Constitution. If you don't agree with Christian teaching, at least be glad that in the West you live under the freedom and safety of it's teaching which has shaped our laws. Ignore the preaching and walk away, as you are free to do, but why attack it?
Warnings from Holland
In 2008, Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, made a movie documenting the practice of Islam around the world and the changes that have come to Europe. If you have not seen it, his movie, Fitna, can be seen on the front page of this website, No to Islam.
Although Mr Wilders does not hate Moslems or any race, his life has been threatened with many death threats and the Dutch government has now put him on trial for hate speech and racism.
Here is a short report on the case:
