Suit concerning 'flying imams' settled

A Messianic Jewish leader is saddened that because of political correctness, Muslims can be rewarded for behavior that would not be tolerated from any other group.
Recently a settlement was reached involving the so-called "flying imams," US Airways, and the FBI. On November 20, 2006, half a dozen Muslim clerics were kicked off a US Airways Minneapolis-to-Phoenix flight after engaging in behavior that alarmed passengers and crew members before takeoff.
 
Following the incident, the Council on American-Islamic Relations came to aid the imams and filed a suit. Both sides recently announced that an undisclosed out-of-court settlement had been reached.
Jan Markell, founder and director of Minnesota-based Olive Tree Ministries, explains that the imams "got paid off."  (Suit concerning 'flying imams' settled )

 

"That sends a message that because of our liberal courts and our political correctness and pro-Islam this and pro-Islam that, you can try to get away with all sorts of things if you're a Muslim in America," she argues. "Not every Muslim in America is planning on bowing down and praying in their local airport and praising Allah, scaring the daylights out of everyone. But a whole bunch of them did here in the Twin Cities a couple of years ago, and that story has finally come to a conclusion, but [it was] a very sad one."
(If another 911 takes place I think  our liberal courts should take at least some of the blame. Today we don't want to upset anyone even if it is a radical follower of Islam. )

Pensioner's letter deemed 'homophobic'

An elderly British couple is in hot water over comments they made about homosexuality.
 British flag smallPauline Howe, a 67-year-old pensioner, suffered verbal abuse from homosexuals while she passed out Christian leaflets at a "gay pride" event in Norwich. In objection to the abuse she suffered, she wrote a letter to the city's top official. Police soon replied to her letter with a personal visit.
The officers explained to Howe that her letter was considered homophobic and could be treated as a hate incident. They also said she might be cited on criminal charges based on the country's hate crimes laws, the Human Rights Act. Howe feels religious freedom for Britain is at stake.
 
Also at risk is "the authority of God's Word," the pensioner says. "We're not allowed to express our biblical, evangelical beliefs anymore without being frightened, quite frankly."
(Thanks to those on the left look out for this to happen here in America because last week a hate crime law passed in congress and President Obama was quick to put his name on it. Read more on this issue by clicking  right here.)

Dobson leaving radio show

Dr. James Dobson, the voice of Focus on the Family, will no longer host its flagship radio broadcast and is cutting formal ties with the Christian ministry he founded more than 30 years ago.

 

 

Focus on the Family says its board of directors and Dobson agreed on the moves, which will go into effect at the end of February. A spokesman for the evangelical ministry says the parting is amicable and the 73-year-old Dobson's "health and attitude are great." ( Dobson leaving radio show)

 


(At times I thought Dr. Dobson put too much faith in politics and made  too much focus of  his radio program  politics. I agreed with him on the so called culture issues. At the same time I admire how he ran his ministry and how he never put his name on any of the buildings because he didn't want the ministry to be about him. I wish him well as he goes to the next step in his life and wish Focus on the Family the best. May God bless and  keep useing  Dr. Dobson  and the ministry of Focus on the Family.)

'Moderate' Republican backs Democratic opponent

A day after Republican state Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava abruptly suspended her campaign in the New York special election, she's endorsing the liberal Democrat in the race -- not the Conservative Party candidate favored by fellow Republicans.

 

Following her surprise exit in the race for the rock-solid Republican congressional seat, Scozzafava said Sunday that Democrat Bill Owens is the best of the remaining candidates to build on the legacy of the previous holder of the 23rd Congressional District seat -- Republican John McHugh, who has taken a position in the Obama administration.


(I wonder what the leadership in the Republican Party who backed this so called Republican are thinking now that she is backing the Democrat. It sounds to me like she was Republican in name only. She should join that party.  Read more on this story 'Moderate' Republican backs Democratic opponent.)

Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion Procedure

Here is a video of a news report of a Planned Parenthood worker who had her heart and mind changed on abortion after seeing an ultrasound of  an unborn child. She quit her job and joined  the fight for the right to life. Guess what the folks at Planned Parenthood did? Of course they went  to court. I guess some who are pro choice when it comes to the killing of children aren't pro choice when it comes to one of their own having  a change of heart. Watch the video right here
