"An unsparing new report by Arab scholars explains why their region causes people lags behind so much of the world. " GaryFPatton (gfp '42™ 2012-07-31)

Dr. Klein makes some excellent points about the unBiblical behaviours and demands of many traditional Christians and Christendom in North America. Interesting, the Bible makes clear that Jesus Followers are to love and have compassion for those who don't believe in our Saviour and Master. It actually prohibits us from not criticizing and judging them ...especially for doing things that God commands only usto not practise GaryFPatton (2012-07 05)

"Who is a Moderate Muslim?" Many would agree with the opening speaker: "There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim!" This is because the Qur'an demands fundamentalism and fundamentalist Islam is Islamist demanding the re-establishment of the caliphate and the establishment of Islam over all. Islam is a total lifestyle including "politics" as ex-Muslim authors Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ibn Warraq argue. Islamists wish to do this by implementing "Shari'ah Law". GaryFPatton (gfp '42™ 2012-06-25)

Some would suggest, this is a somewhat politically-correct video because it makes a distinction between Islam and political Islam. However, many ex-Muslims and experts in Islam state that there is no distinction, e.g., "There are moderate Muslims but no such thing as moderate Islam!" ~ Ibn Warraq, Pakistani author GaryFPatton (gfp '42™ 2012-06-25)

A point of view by two Christian "Ethics Professors at US theological schools which argues that "Christian Zionism" cannot be supported Biblically. The authors further state that Christians who support Israel's alleged inhumanity towards the so-called Palestinians will be judged by God. gfp (2012-06-20)

This article is the first in a three part series by a Christian historian on the topic of Christian Zionism and its implications in Israel and Palestine. The author strongly supports Israe's right to mexist securely and safely while believeing that her Politicians continue to act immorally against the Arabs in Israel mistakenly called a "Palestinian people group" by the media and many writers. gfp (2012-06-20)

Select strategic ideas that are Biblical from the Master Genera's timeless book. Then apply to business and life to enhance one's success in being best used by God

Khakis, blue jeans, and dungarees graced the stage at this vimeo-taped, public event in San Diego. The generational differences between the three Evangelical leaders -Chuck Colson, Greg Boyd, and Shane Claiborne- seemed obvious. But the helpful, lively, moderator-g, uided conversation ...not debate... reveals the shared beliefs that should motivate all Jesus Followers. During the discussion and Q&A period, the speakers reveal some intriguing observations about the sword vs. and/or complementing the cross in social & political action in the U.S. I believe they all apply to Canada to the degree that our people and societies differ. gfp (2012-05-01)

Jesus may never have spoken about the issue of homosexuality. And He never spoke about the "man at the Gate Beautiful", either. But the Son of God died so that both the blind men and homosexuals might be healed. Jesus didn't speak about homosexuality. But as Immanuel, He knew what the Old Covenant clearly stated. Nonetheless, this article raises some challenging issues for religious people who lean towards justice rather than love in their attitudes to homsexuality. gfp (2012-04-28)

"Kony 2012: Part II is a great watch and gives the initiative back to Invisible Children after a month of learning that no good deed goes unpunished."

Frum's indictment in this article boils down to two familiar charges: 1. Trudeau mishandled the October Crisis in 1970 involving the FLQ, allowed government circumvention of habeus corpus with the War Measures Act and generally inflamed separatism; 2. he mis-managed the economy and left his successors a major deficit problem. However, the article contains no mention of Mr. Trudeau's unremitting attack on Biblical principles and the traditional family such as his: 1. destruction of families by permitting no-fault divorce, 2. laying the groundwork for unrestricted murder of pre-born children via even partial-birth abortions, and 3. setting us on the road to special rights for homosexuals including the legal right to adopt children and engage in same-sex marriage. Oh my! What the secular-humanist, Catholic, Pierre Trudeau, will have to answer to God for is scary!

A recurring question of 2011-12 continues to be whether Israel can come out of the unrest of the "Arab Spring" with any new allies. This is an expert analysis of a possible answer. gfp (2012-04-02)

Rex Murphy feels, and I agree that "...there is no doubt that [anti-Muslim] prejudice exists. But there is no doubt, too, that cries of "Islamophobia" are issued to suffocate argument, to deflect or deter analysis of some behaviour that is factually related to Islam." he states further and I also agree that: " There is no doubt either that some Muslims have acted as terrorists, either singly, or in association with various Islamist groups. To point this out is not a phobia, but a simple respect for reality." gfp (2012-03-12)
