This is a very brave lady: Wafa Sultan

She is a secularist but confronts the cultural implications of
Islam.

As noble and courageous as Dr. Wafa Sultan is, is her hope the same
as our hope?
While we can cheer her willingness to confront the evils of militant
Islam, is her message what our Lord Jesus has called us to proclaim?
How might Satan be working both sides, in spite of Dr. Sultan's good
intentions?
One side uses coercion. One side preaches a worldly form of
"tolerance" based on the view that all people are basically good. We
are called to persuade by proclaiming and inviting and giving
an answer.

"UN Watchdog censured after
accusing Human Rights Council of hypocrisy"
By Israel Insider staff and
partners March 28, 2007
"Hillel Neuer, Executive
Director of UN Watch, delivered a scorching speech before the UN
Human Rights Council 4th Session, accusing the body of blatant
hypocrisy in ignoring gross rights violations worldwide except when
committed by Israel. The speech was then repudiated by the Council
Chairman, who refused to thank Neuer as is customary and then
threatened to strike from the record similar statements in the
future. "

Unite
against terror, Pope says in Christmas speech
B y Richard Reeves
[Editor of Procinwarn.com note: I do not endorse the author or the
writers he quotes. However, those Evangelicals who have yoked their hearts
with the rulers of this world ought to consider these perspectives.]
Excerpts
NEW YORK — "When I saw that the neoconservative response to 9/11
was to turn a stateless war against terrorism into military attacks on
Muslim states, I realized that the Bush administration was committing a
strategic blunder with open-ended disastrous consequences for the United
States that, in the end, would destroy Bush, the Republican Party and the
conservative movement."
I agree with that, but I didn't write it. No liberal did.
The author is Paul Craig Roberts, one of the creators and champions of
"supply-side economics," the great conservative cause of the
early 1980s. As a Wall Street Journal editorial writer and then assistant
secretary of the treasury under President Reagan, Roberts was a true
believer and an effective advocate. His political stance is pretty well
summed up in the title of his newest book: "The Tyranny of Good
Intentions: How Prosecutors and Bureaucrats Are Trampling the Constitution
in the Name of Justice."
"Americans have forgotten what it takes to remain free. Instead,
every ideology, every group is determined to use government to advance its
agenda. ... The United States is undergoing a coup against the
Constitution, the Bill of Rights and democracy itself. The 'liberal press'
has been co-opted. ... Media concentration permitted in the 1990s has put
news and opinion in the hands of a few corporate executives who do not
dare risk their broadcasting licenses by getting on the wrong side of
government, or their advertising revenues by becoming
'controversial.'"

Then, at some appropriate time, manipulate

By LAURIE GOODSTEIN - NY Times 2/8/06
Some Excerpts:
"Despite opposition from some colleagues, 86 evangelical Christian
leaders are backing a major initiative to fight global warming."
"Among signers of the statement, which will be
released in Washington on Wednesday, are the presidents of 39 evangelical
colleges, leaders of aid groups and churches, like the Salvation Army, and
pastors of megachurches, including Rick
Warren, author of the best seller
"The Purpose-Driven Life.""
"The Evangelical Climate Initiative, at a cost of
several hundred thousand dollars, is being supported by individuals and
foundations, including the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Hewlett Foundation
and the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation."

should consider. How he believes governments and societies should deal
with those they believe are fanatics is also worth examining. (7/26/05)
