A man in a crowd in Iran involved in protests said: "We want the freedom to talk, and the freedom to think. We want freedom for our spirit, ok? That's not very much to ask." [ end quote from BBC news article "Freedom craving 'fuelling Iran unrest" by Hugh Sykes, today:8:46 AM 6/22/2009

Punishing crimes against humanity [genocide]:
Quote:"A Rwandan ex-deputy interior minister who tricked thousands of people into hiding on a hill where they were butchered has been jailed for genocide.
Callixte Kalimanzira, 54, was sentenced to 30 years for his role in the 1994 slaughter." [end quote in BBC News article, "Ex-minister jailed for genocide"
today:8:54 AM 6/22/2009
These quotes from news stories today in the BBC news seems to indicate that there is a tsunami-like wave of waking up around the world. I PRAY for all nations and their leaders everywhere to realize that GOD intended humans to live free and that even GOD HIMSELF gave humans the decision to follow good by obeying GOD's laws; or to follow evil by rejecting GOD's laws. But having said that I also do not believe that governments should promote or encourage or legitimize evil or abominations as a 'right'. I pray that included in that spiritual tsunami is the acknowledgement that it is a sin to kill innocents and that there is punishment for that. And I PRAY that all governments everywhere begin to bring the full force of their government's power to stop evil against those who kill innocents in the womb or wherever they live.

From Embyro to Fetus in the womb : medical facts
by Gloria Poole,R.N.
There are several distinguishing features of the
transistion of an embryo to a fetus. Both of these words
are medical terms for a certain stage of development in
the womb. There is no abrupt change from the embryo to
the fetus. Instead there are cumulative changes that are
evolving day to day. The embryo changes from an
amorphous shape to more of a tiny human with all parts.
Also all of the major body organs have either appeared
or the precursor of them has developed. As the embryo
survives the second month in the womb, and is alive at
the beginning of the third month, the tiny human is less
vulnerable to the effects of disease in the mother, or
radiation of the mother, or medicines the mother may
have taken. Of course women who are pregnant should
never drink alcohol or use drugs! At any stage of the
pregnancy the baby in the womb is harmed by alcohol, and
many drugs have teratogenic effects. The term fetus is
appropriate after the major organs are either formed
entirely or the precursor of them is present e.g. for
the kidney. The fetus is still vulnerable but not as
much so, since the tiny human has a larger body and
therefore it would take larger doses of medicines
through the placenta to harm the tiny being, and the
tiny baby also has more developed organs to filter the
medicines that might pass to the baby through the
placenta. At the end of the first month after
fertilization the human embryo is about a quarter of an
inch in length from the top of the flat bulbous like
head to the end of the emerging legs that look at first
like a tail. Most of the organs are beginning to take
shape as the cells continuously divide and
differentiate. The tiny human develops by a 'blue print'
that is built into the chromosones and genes that the
tiny human received from the mother and from the father.
Twenty-three chromosones come from each parent in most
instances. In Down's syndrome the chromosones are
different. The baby's brain develops first since it is
needed first. The wisdom of GOD in creating humans is
obvious if you really study human anatomy and physiology
much. The outlines of eyes appear and a primitive mouth
and by 30 days after fertilization the three primary
parts of the brain are present , and the eyes, ears, and
nasal passages have begun to develop. The beginnings of
the backbone is present but that first month the tiny
embryo is sort of hunched together in a C shape. There
is no discernible arms or legs yet but the "tail" will
become legs. The heart will have started beating even
though it is not completely formed. The tiny human has
a closed circulatory system that includes the baby's own
blood vessels and also the umbilical cord and placenta
to the mother. The digestive tract opens from the mouth
downward for the first time on about the 28 th day
after fertilization by the male sperm. The liver appears
by about the 21 st day after fertilization. The thyroid
gland begins to form. The stomach, intestines,liver and
pancreas are there but there is no anus yet. The lungs
are not developed yet. Lung buds begin about day 27 and
the trachea [windpipe ] appears a few days after that.
By the time the tiny being would be called a fetus he or
she would have gained weight to one gram or about one-
thirtieth of an ounce, which is not as much as an
aspirin tablet but for the tiny human it is significant
progress since it means a 50-fold gain in body mass
gained during the second month over again what the tiny
human weighed at the end of four weeks after
fertilization. By day 31 muscles appear in the pelvis
and arms and legs begin to form and look sort of like a
bud on a tree in bloom.The valve separating the chambers
of the heart appear on day 31 or soon after. The germ
cells [sex determining] move along the mesoderm toward
the genital ridges and will form either ovaries or
testicles. By day 32 the caudal muscles appear [in what
becomes the baby's behind] and the last pair of gill-
like arches that will develop into lungs appears. By day
33 the cerebral cortex in the brain develops. By day 34
more of the muscles that will become the thighs and legs
develop and the stalk that separates the baby from the
yolk sac lengthens. By day 35 the primitive germ cells
have arrived in large numbers near the ridge that
develops into the kidney. And the olfactory part of the
brain that regulates small is present in the brain. By
the fifth week the tiny human is 8 millimeters or one-
third of an inch long from crown to rump and weighs
about 1/1000 of an ounce. The jaws are forming and the
face is beginning to look like a human face. The
umbilical cord is present and is the only part connected
to the placenta. The pituitary gland is forming in the
middle of the brain. The pharynx branches into the two
parts that will go to each lung. The membranes
[peritoneum] that separate the intestines form the chest
have formed and separate the lungs,heart and trachea
from the stomach and intestine. By day 36 the arm and
legs buds appear, and the 'tail' starts to shrink and
the baby may start moving about.
By day 37 the intestines have grown enough that they are
beginning to curve into their adult shape. The brain
stem that controls respiration is recognizable. By day
38 the jaws of upper and lower begin to look symmetrical
and with an mouth between them and the eye muscles have
begun to form in the orbits. Hands that look more like
paddles form and then when the fingers elongate they
look more like hands. The insides of the baby have grown
so fast that they sort of bulge and could be seen easily
through the almost transparent skin of the baby. By day
39 the nerve fibers are present to connect the sense of
smell of the olfactory nerves. By day 40 the pigment
[color] of the eyes could be seen through the
transparent skin also. The jaws are well formed and the
teeth, and facial muscles are forming also. The gill
arches disappear and the diaphragm appears that moves up
and down in respirations though the baby does not
breathe in the womb but later sort of practices that
effort. The liver starts producing red blood cells and
takes over from the yolk sac. By day 42 the reflexes
being and fingers and toes are more visible and the
beginnings of gonads are visible. By the sixth week the
fetus is 13 millimeters or half an inch long from crown
to rump. Cartilage that will become bone appears. The
head seems huge in relation to the rest of the body and
bends forward onto the chest since baby is still sort of
a C shape. Fingers appear. And the mammary glands begin.
The stomach and intestines rotate into position, muscles
lengthen and both cartilage and bone are visible in the
forming skeleton. The kidney has begun with the
pronephros the first but non-functioning kidneys. By day
44 the retinas of the eyes form, and also the palate of
the mouth and and the canals of the ear. By day 46 the
gonads are formed either ovaries or testicles so the sex
of the baby. Viola by day 48 after fertilization the
tiny human looks like a human! And is definitely a
fetus.

Years ago I wrote the medical facts of how humans
develop on another website of mine at:
http://onlineeducator.bravehost.com .
And the sketches I drew of some of the stages of human
development and wanted to add to this website but they
vanished from uploader AGAIN; so I added them to this
website of mine:
and look at the entry of yesterday 6-June-2009. They are
a series of about 7 or 8 sketches in pencil and
watercolor showing stages of development of human beings
in the womb. Scroll and look at all of them and read
the info I wrote on each sketch. I should have done
those sketches in ink but I didn't and therefore you
have to look close to study the details of them, and
read the words on them. I was laying down, resting when
I did those on my portable drawing board and dip pens
and ink are not possible then. I hope you are able to see
see the sketches and read the words on them because the words
are explanatory of each sketch. I was more tired than I realized and
the pencil drawings are harder to me to photograph but there are some
in watercolor sketches there also, so especially see my watercolor sketch
of the human in the womb at 7 weeks after fertilization.
Also the Scriptures about human life are on this website
of mine:
http://www.home.earthlink.net.~prolife-activist
And the reasons you should vote prolife are at this
website of mine:

Also there are prolife sketches and prolife photos to
encourage humans to reproduce themselves with children
on these websites of mine:
http://lifemedia-publishing.co.uk
http://gloriapoole.com/prolife/
The prolife subdomain of gloriapoole.com is a
repository site and that means that when you open it you
will see an Index sort of like you would see a Table of
Contents in a book or a shelf of books in a library.
Each photo of my paintings /sketches/drawings/ or of my
genre photography has either a name if I renamed file to
help people know if interested in it, or it has the
words 'photo-by-gloriapoole' in the description and
usually my zip code of 80203, and usually the date in
the format of 2009707 which means yr 2009, or what year
goes there, and the date and then the month but there
are some uploaders that seem to reverse the date code
but you could figure it out still. Anyway, click the
name or the description of the photo [digital photos on
the web] and it should open to about a 5 x 7 size on
your computer screen. My prolife subdomain there has a
poem, a couple of quotes and a photo of a newborn baby,
that is so sweet, and my sketch of the human being in
the amniotic sac of waters,that is a watercolor sketch.

I spent the past three days putting a few scriptures into as many languages as the Google online translation tool could translate, and then 'grappling' if you want to think of it that way with my hosting company to put them on display. There are three sets of Scriptures from the King James Holy Bible on these websites of mine, and I am praying that they richochet around the world at the speed of sound:
http://gloriapoole.com/salvation.
And if for some reason that page does not load then they should also be available at:
http://gloriapoole.com/kjv-bible.
I really believe that if every society took to heart the Commandments of GOD and not only the words of men, then the world would simmer down and peace on earth would be possible. The enemies of GOD have not retreated for long so be aware that the fate of the internet is being determined as those who are of GOD are being constantly harassed, and attacked with malware, tricks, deceit, stolen payments from them, crooked staffers working for internet hosting companies who try to prevent the word of GOD from being published. But I have learned perserverance and I have not quit. And though 1and1.com of Pennsylvania tried to destroy me and my Christian websites they have not succeeded, and GOD is not mocked. For the promise of GOD is that as they destroyed my missions efforts of six years of creating Christian websites, so they will be destroyed according to Galatians 6:7 as written, 'be not deceived. GOD is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Today I read the BBC News and the NY Times as usual. I prefer the BBC News world news because it seems more about reality than propaganda of NY Times. However, the reason I am writing this entry is because I saw a photo taken by AFP photographer Essam Sudani in the BBC today of Iraqi students [schoolgirls it points out] walking down the ancient steps of 'ziggurat' at Ur, and that instantly got my attention. If you know the Bible particularly the Old Testament you will remember that it says GOD called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldeans to leave it and follow GOD across the burning sand. I quote from Genesis chapter 15, "after these things the word of THE LORD [GOD] came unto Abram in a vision saying, ' fear not Abram; I AM thy shield and thy exceeding great reward...and HE brought him forth abroad and said, 'look now toward heaven, and tell the stars; if thou be able to number them; and HE said unto him, 'so shall thy seed be.' And he [Abram] believed in THE LORD and HE counted it to him for righteousness. And HE said unto him, ' I AM THE LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it." verses 1,5,6,7 King James Holy Bible. Now of course you know that later on GOD changed Abram's name to Abraham to show that HE had given him a new destiny and a promise.
Now this is the crux of the issue as to why I am writing this here today: another article in the BBC--on a blog written by Mark Urban entitled 'Diplomatic Shift' started out making the astounding assertion that the problems of the Middle East depend upon Washington DC. Well, in light of the fact that the so-called Middle East nations of Iran, Iraq, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan, all were in existence AS NATIONS about six thousand years ago as recorded by the Bible's Old Testament and the geneology of the Jews, Arabs Syrians, Palestinians,--all groups we would today call 'ethnic' meaning every tongue, culture, tribe of those nations, and that the United States did not exist until the year 1776 when the Continental Congress met and formed a new nation, the idea that anyone in Washington DC controls the fate of the 'middle east' is preposterous! The Middle East is the origin of the human race on this planet according to scripture and according to Scripture it will also be the end of it on this planet in the final war on earth named Armageddon. The United States is really a minor player that somehow tried a huge power play to control history but it is only that--a minor player on a world stage set by GOD HIMSELF. The photo of ancient Ur in the BBC news today reminded me of the verses in the Bible about GOD calling and then leading Abram out of Ur because of their polytheism there that was rampant and pervasive, and asked Abram to believe that HE GOD was THE LORD and the ONLY ONE, and Abram responded and obeyed, and his trek across the wilderness is recorded in Bible and so is the birth of Isaac the second generation of the Jews since Abraham and Sarah were the first, and the birth of Ishmael [spelled Ishmail I think by the Arabs] the second generation of the Arabs since Abraham and Hagar were the first generation.
I am resident in the US and a citizen, native born and I follow the politics particularly as it concerns the prolife issues,and of course, I try to influence events to interject the viewpoint of GOD as written in the Bible. The fact that Obama is a notorious con-man spinning words all the while he is planning a methodical annihilation of entire segments of classes of humans in every nation of the world, concerns me greatly. His agenda for the world is NOT good. A nation, any nation that methodically kills with purpose and deliberation its upcoming generations has no future. The middle eastern nations as defined by being east of the United States on the globe, are in the hands of GOD not the hands of Obama! He is merely a pawn on the world stage as any leader in any nation as since the Bible says that GOD raises up leaders for HIS purpose and puts down leaders. Obama is not the saviour of the world and if the Middle East thinks he is, then look out because GOD is offended by such an evil thought. A human is only a human and GOD IS GOD, and there is NO other GOD but GOD. I am not muslim but Christian and I acknowledge JESUS as the Messiah promised in the Bible and foretold by the prophets as coming in the flesh to die for at-one-ment with THE GOD to bring salvation to the human race. {John 10;30 is written, JESUS said, "I and MY FATHER [GOD ] in heaven are ONE [GOD]."
It absolutely sticks in my craw to read articles that promote in so many words the idea that a human man is the Saviour of the world when JESUS who was THE GODHEAD in the flesh is the ONLY way to heaven according to John 14:6, and it is not through Obama that people or nations are saved. Or any other leader from Washington DC or anywhere else for that matter!

Also see http://gloriapoole.name
for some of my sketches about humans on the planet that GOD loves! I am posting the links to some of my websites with my original sketches on them, because of events that happened recently in which 153 CHRISTIAN websites owned by me were taken down by the Obama administration in an effort to prevent me from opposing his fatalistic approach to government as god and his planned destruction of the human race in obedience to the devil and opposing the commandment of GOD to be fruitful and multiply in Genesis 1:27-28, and they used the lie that my original paintings were immoral. I want you t see for yourself the proof of the sort of paintings, sketches, and drawings that I sketch, draw, and paint and see that they are not immoral or indecent in any way and that they lied!
I have published the scriptures on the internet since about 1999 and in the course of that effort, I have realized that there are some states in the U.S. that are decidely anti-GOD. In the service of THE LORD GOD I want to warn other citizens about them. These states are the states that have an agenda to destroy those who believe in GOD and their Senators and Legislators in Congress have the same goal:
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania
California
Colorado
And these Congress people are the enemies of GOD:
Hillary Clinton
Bill Clinton
Barach Obama
Nancy Pelosi
Ted Kennedy
Arlen Specter
Barney Frank
John Lewis
These are the internet hosting companies that are the enemies of GOD:
1and1.com of Pennsylvania who allowed a criminal to hack into my account and apparently purposely destroyed 153 websites of Christian content and Bible scriptures to appease a sodomite who worked in their billing dept.
I am sure this is not a comprehensive list but it is a starter. For those of you who do love GOD remember to pray that GOD will deliver true born again believers out of their hands and that
GOD will deliver the U.S. from their so-called leadership. I am posting this here so those who love
GOD will be warned of their deceit, treachery and hatred of GOD ALMIGHTY who is ONE GOD according to John 10:30.

This is a necessary notice to the public. I have not sold either Life Media & Publishing LLP nor
words that WORK, LLP and have NO intention to ever sell them. They are the 'vehicle ' so to speak
by which I publish the gospel on many websites reaching to the world that does not know the Holy
Scriptures and publishing the Scriptures in easy to digest bytes. This is Saturday am in Denver
Co 80203/80206 zip codes and those are my zip codes that I put on websites for my physical address
and mailing address. I am posting this here today, because I know that many of the websites of
those hosted by a particular hosting company are down this am, as a result of their attempt to
force me to accept sodomy as a way of life for the world. They gave me a 'warning' that they
would 'cancel my contracts' with them if I continued to criticize the sin of sodomy, and they took
those particular websites off line yesterday in an effort to coerce me to accept sin and to try to
force me to accept evil on my websites. I will NOT do that, not for them or any
other hosting company. I will not forsake the words of GOD on that subject or any other subject.
I will not abandon GOD nor will I give into extortion efforts by those without GOD to force me to
accept sin as a so-called 'right'. GOD has clearly and emphatically spoken against sodomy and
abortion and says HE will destroy those nations that allow sodomy. Last week, I published those
Scriptures from the Holy Bible book of Romans chapter one denouncing that sin and that also lists the
natural progression of those sins to reprobate minds twisted into depravity and perversion, then
GOD washing HIS hands of those who do those sins,so they cannot enter heaven,then them being
declared 'worthy of death' on GOD's final Judgement Day.
That was last week. What happened after that, was that the sodomite
lobby in the US Congress abused their powers and hacked into my paid accounts and then put
sodomite por*ography on a site that I paid for for my purpose of opposing the premeditated killing of innocents, and I also criticized Obama for his part in that; and the sodomites and abortion providers hacked into my account, stole passwords, then added filthy vile stuff to my CHRISTIAN website to mock GOD; then as soon as I discovered that, I took that evil down and reported them to the
cybercrime unit of the US Dept of Justice and the FBI for hacking into my account and for putting
evil of sodomite por*ograrphy that was shockingly visual on MY paid for site CHRISTIAN site as a way of triggering civil laws against such to use an excuse to take down my websites. . Then the sodomite lobby evil personified used their contacts in the U.S. Congress
to take down an entire account { I have others as a result of diversifying long ago} of nearly 200 Christian websites for no reason except that I published the scriptures opposing sins of sodomy and abortion and made the devil furious.
The abuse of power by the US Congress has become the norm not the exception I am sad to say.
It is as the ancient Greek Senate that became so defiled, so perverse that the nation it ruled self-
destructed. Alexander the so-called Great conquered much of the then-known world but when he tolerated sodomy among his troops, GOD destroyed him and Greece.
Now here's the thing. I am a U.S. citizen born in the United States. I have ties to many nations
because I have published the gospel in every nation via the internet. I have also promoted around the world my paintings, sketches, drawings that I paint/sketch/draw and display on some websites and those paintings,sketches, drawings includes leaders, and other people from around the world. My name is recognized in many countries according to the stats for my websites I own. My sketches/drawings/paintngs are ALWAYS decent and you may see them for yourself at these sites: http://gloriapoole.com/paintings1/
and also http://gloriapoole.com/ethnic-paintings/
http://gloriapoole.com/my-sketches/ and http://gloriapoole.com/drawings/ and my photography is ALWAYS decent, always! I decided to put these here so you the viewers could see for yourself the sort of art I draw/sketch/paint. And you may see my photography at : http://gloriapoole.com/photography/. These sites are repositories of large numbers of my photos of my paintings/sketches/drawings/photographs sort of like a library with lots of books. Click the name of each painting, sketch, drawing or the identifying description such as photo-by-gloriapoole and it should open into a size of about 5 x7 on your screen. You may have to enable pop-ups and/or cookies to see them however as the photos pop up on your screen. They are decent and moral and should be free of viruses or sneak attacks on that hosting company,that is one I have had since 2003.
Now back on topic; the fact that a hosting company is trying to force me to accept sin as a lifestyle in order to do business with them does not sit well with me. I have the same civil liberties to protest them as they have to protest me, and the thought and speech police concept is not acceptable to the U.S. nor to Canada, nor to the E.U, nor to many many people.
The First Amendment of the US Constitution forbids
Congress from preventing the worship of GOD and that includes their effort to prevent me from applying the Sciptures and Commandments of GOD to my life. There is no authority for Congress to
establish heathenism as the official religion of the United States.
I am fully privileged to be able to publish the words of GOD and the Holy Scriptures
in any form fashion or format and the US Congress has no authority whatsoever to intervene to stop me from publishing the Bible, or my beliefs,ideas, thoughts, words, in any form, whether via legal orso called " illegal" l means. I put the word illegal in quotes not because I did anything illegal--I did not, but the sodomites are trying to say it is illegal to dislike sodomy or call sodomites by the words that GOD used in the Bible to describe them while all the time calling Christians names far worst for using the words of the Bible in public. Remember Carrie Prejean rejected for Christian beliefs? And the football player recently who said on public TV that he thanked JESUS his Saviour and then was rejected for the Heisman Trophy? That religious discrimination has become waaaaaaaaaaaay too acceptable to most Christians; and this message and my refusing to capitulate to evil is intended to defy those who discriminate against Christians. If that fool hosting company prefers to champion sin they will self-destruct too in time because GOD is not mocked according to Galatians 6:7, and another better hosting company will get my business if the hosting company does not repent and put my websites back on line and soon. I am keeping open the option of suing them for religious persecution and discrimination and destruction of my intellectual properties of poems, and photos of my paintings on the site that they are holding hostage it seems. The fees were paid every time on time. It also shows why the business element and Wall St is in the tank--legal contracts mean nothing in the US.
I quote US Constitution:
"Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of
grievances."
The U.S. Constitution is on the web at
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/ and I thank them for
the publishing of it and Google for indexing it on search engines.
Also, the fact that I oppose sodomy and also oppose abortion because GOD opposes them, is
what makes that hosting company's effort to force me to forsake GOD's words so reprehensible to
me. Discrimination against Christians and those who believe in GOD is illegal in the U.S. and when
a company tries to beforehand prevent the publication of a citizens' words for religious belief and
adhering to the published words of GOD, that is called 'prior restraint'
of free speech--> unacceptable violation of civil liberties in the U.S. and it carries HUGE fines against
those companies that do that, and requires them to make restitution to the one harmed.
I am being harmed personally in my name and my professional status by the illegal censorship of a hosting company and my LLPs of Life Media & Publishing LLP and also words that WORK, LLP are being harmed by illegal censorship, therefore I have grounds in the law for a lawsuit against them.
The truth of GOD will win this 'battle of words' I am sure .Those of you who know GOD and know the words of GOD know that GOD abhors sodomy,and that HE destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for those
sins. That is written in these verses: Genesis chapter 10-19 of GOD's destruction of raining fire
and brimstone on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah until they were burned to the ground completely;
and in these verses it warns other civilizations not to make the same mistake:
Deuteronomy 29:23,32:32; Isaiah 1:9,10 and 3:9; Jeremiah 23:14,49:18,50:40; and Lamentations
4:6, and Ezekiel 16:46,48,49,53,55,56; and Amos 4:11, Zephaniah 2:9, and Matthew 10:15,11:23,24; and Mark 6:11,Luke 10:12, and 17:29, II Peter 2:6, Jude 7, and Revelation 11:8.
I know what I believe and WHOM I believe and I am not forsaking GOD to do business with any
company. I will not repent of publishing the truth of GOD that sodomy is abhorrent, an abomination
to GOD and I will not quit warning nations about it. I have not sold either Life Media & Publishing LLP,
nor words that WORK, LLP and never intend too. I will publish the Scriptures; and I defy the devil.

This quote from Bloomberg News today and in the Google news also:
"Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahrudi, head of the judiciary,
issued the order today in a statement cited by the state-run Iranian
Students News Agency. The appeal must be heard “fairly and
quickly,” he was quoted as saying."[end quote].
This is really good news for all Iranians and for all reporters!And
really for the whole world. Reporters serve a very necessary duty
and there are so many reporters/journalists/photo-journalists who
have taken that duty to the utmost committment and risked their
lives to report on events in different places. Any nation that seeks to
please GOD, because liberty is of GOD HIMSELF who made humans
in HIS own image;and must allow news reports from it to the world
and also must allow anyone charged with a crime that has a penalty
of prison to prepare a defense for the self and present evidence to
defend self and to question the accusers. That is common sense
because people see events very differently even when they witness
the exact same event. And think about this, because insurance
companies and their actuarial records attest to this, people have a
'natural' bias they develop over time and therefore different
opinions of the exact same event are often reported. In some cases
they could be both be true. An example of that is a mother with
small child witnessing an vehicle accident that happened as she
was driving probably would rush to the scene and look for small
children to rescue. A single man on the other hand might not think
might not see it that way at all and instead would look at the
damage to the car instead of the people in it. And yet both scenes as
reported were true but if you ask the one he would tell you about
damage to the car, and if you asked the other she would tell you that
small children were trapped inside and she rescued them and could
not even give you a description of the car because she was panicked
for the children. Yet both records of the events in that situation
would be true, and hearing both of them helps reconstruct what
happened. My point is, that news reporters often do the same
thing--report on events that they witnessed from their perspective
that they have developed over their life times and their perspective
on events is valid and offers needed insight into the situation at
hand.
Therefore when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad intervened
yesterday for the Iranian-American journalist tried for spying it
was a very good thing for him,[his political career] and for his
nation and also for reporters around the world. When a
reporter/journalist is sent on a mission or goes willingly because
she has a heart for the people of Iran, to report events it is good for
the world to read those reports, and it is good for America to see
Iran through the eyes of an Iranian-American born in America but
living first hand in Iran. And it is also good for Iran to read those
reports as well because that Iranian-American reporter will have a
totally different perspective than an Iranian born there who never
lived abroad and who has no insight into what it is like to live in
America.
I am absolute believer in the concept of freedom of press and
religious, political speech for all nations. I am glad President
Ahmadinejad of Iran intervened and I am also glad that Ayatollah
Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahrudi, head of the judiciary, responded to
that request from Iran's President and also I believe it is a huge leap
forward for the entire nation of Iran on the world 'playing field.' I
think Iran's President won a lot of respect and the right to be heard
himself by other leaders by insisting on a fair system of justice
including the right to defend oneself in a court of law.
Also while I am writing on this subject, I read the news about the
same Iranian President complaining of 'Islamaphobia' in meetings
of other leaders today. I am reminded that whether it is labeled
anti-semitism [against Jews] or 'Islamophobia' [against Muslims] it
is from the same enemy of GOD that hates anyone who praises GOD.
It is not because of their skin color or national origin but because of
their beliefs in ONE LIVING GOD opposed to the worlds' many false
gods that sticks in the craw of those who fight against Muslim or
Jewish faith. It has the same origin and believe me, Christians also
experience discrimination, even in America. JESUS said it happens
when HE said if they hate ME they will also hate you if you love ME
and that is sort of a summary of those events. I think Iran and all
Muslim nations and all Jewish countries need to quit fighting each
other and fight the enemies of GOD--those who bow down to statues
and pray to things made with human hands or to dead people. It
seems to me that anti-semitism and Islamaphobia are two sides to
the same coin--motivated by the same enemy of GOD [satan] and
accomplished in much the same way. When the Jews and the Arabs
realize they have GOD in common, and a common ancestor then
maybe they will commit to peaceful relationships and homes for all.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asks his nation to
respect the rights of Journalists in this article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8006861.stm/
today:7:06 AM 4/19/2009.
Here is a quote from his letter according
to that article:
"Please, personally observe the process to ensure that the
defendants are allowed all legal rights and freedom in defending
themselves and that their rights are not violated even by one iota,"
reported Iranian official government news agency Irna. "

Here is a fascinating view of Christianity from Bono of U2, as
written in an article in the NY Times today at:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/19/opinion/19bono.html?em/
and a quote of Bono that I particularly like :
"I come to lowly church halls and lofty cathedrals for what
purpose? I search the Scriptures to what end? To check my head?
My heart? No, my soul. For me these meditations are like a plumb
line dropped by a master builder — to see if the walls are straight or
crooked. I check my emotional life with music, my intellectual life
with writing, but religion is where I soul-search."[end quote]
I relate to that because I am far more concerned about where my
soul will spend eternity than any worldly concern. I intend to
spend eternity in heaven with GOD!
One huge improvement I see is that the NY Times is beginning
to address the religious issues in a way that I do not remember them
having done before. I believe that the Muslim people are the reason
for that because they have raised the ante around the world about
what faith means to some people and how some people have an
all-out, absolutely total committment to GOD that they do not have
for any worldly event, possession or person. And by doing that, they
have forced the newspapers of the world to discuss the issues of
faith--should the news reprint cartoons of any sort--if so, are the
religious people forbidden as subjects--taboos are ???--should any
person who believes in GOD ever forsake GOD for any
reason?--should believers be forced to become second class citizens
in any nation--should school children be forced to 'worship' at the
idea of a human {political or otherwise}--should newspapers
relegate believers to forbidden subjects for news coverage??--should
religion be viewed as dividing people or in uniting them??--should
the HOLY NAME of GOD be allowed in societies as a curse word in
the pretense of civil liberties while disallowing the respect,
reverance, awe of the HOLY NAME of GOD as a HOLY HOLY SACRED
Name? --Should children be forced to bow down to any idol whether statue,
ideal or person?
Since Muslims have literally forced the debates we around the
world are reading,listening too, debating, I am grateful to them. It
seems that they have made religious beliefs respectable again, and
GOD bless them for that.
++And read this article and see the photos of the Russian leaders ,
President Dmitry Medvedev, and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin celebrating the Resurrection of JESUS as Christians, at:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/8006738.stm/
I LOVE it when I see the world's leaders acknowledging the Higher
Power of GOD! It is the most wonderful thing that they do for their
nations, reminiscent of when King Solomon publicly prayed for the
people to love GOD. Remember the Scripture as written in Psalms
34: 3: " O magnify THE LORD with me, and let us exalt HIS NAME
together."
Also see the photo of the Coptic Christians of Egypt being allowed to
celebrate their religious faith and rejoice that Egypt allows
Christian worship.Also Macedonia and Moldova Christians are free
to worship according to their faith. Those photos show the
Christian pilgrims who journeyed to Jerusalem, and I am certain
that the Muslims relate to that spiritual journey as they also do that
to Mecca and Medina to honor GOD.
Truly I believe in THE MESSIAH as foretold in Scripture, and I also
believe that those nations that allow religious worship of THE GOD
are the nations that will endure over time. That belief is based upon
these scriptures:
"blessed is the nation whose GOD is THE LORD." Psalms 33:12
and also, "HIS NAME [GOD's] shall endure forever; HIS NAME shall
be continued as long as the sun; and men shall be blessed in HIM;
all nations shall call HIM blessed.Blessed be THE LORD GOD.."
Psalms 72:17-18a; and again, 'blessed is the people that know the
joyful sound;they shall walk O LORD, in the light of THY
Countenance [presence]; in THY NAME shall they rejoice all the
day; and in THY Righteousness shall they be exalted. For THOU art
the glory of their strength; and in THY favour our horn shall be
exalted. For THE LORD is our defense; and THE HOLY ONE of
Israel is our King.' Psalms 89:15-17

++updated at 9:17 am after reading an article in The Washington Post:
And Egyptian Anwar Sadat did not die in vain:
This quote from a news article in The Washington Post today about
the sacrifice required of true leaders:
"Compare Phillips to Anwar Sadat. Going to Jerusalem was an
extraordinary act of leadership. He knew he was putting himself at
risk. He acted way beyond his job description on behalf of a most
noble aspiration: peace. That's leadership, and he paid the ultimate
price. " I think that is from the Cambridge Leadership blog on
blogspot but not sure because of the rest of the article. The reason
I say it was not in vain is because Egyptian Christians are now able
to travel to Jerusalem and see and worship at the places they call
Holy because Anwar Sadat did that and by doing that, he broke
through some political barriers. Does any leader who puts GOD first
in his leadership take risks? YES! Undoubtably so, but is the
Kingdom of GOD worth it? YES, undoubtably so. Does the world
think of Anwar Sadat as a religious martyr? Not sure, but I suspect
that GOD does.
In like manner, Iranian President Ahmadinejad takes some
political risks by championing the civil liberties of all journalists
and indeed, the concept of justice since he is wanting/seeking
reelection. I pray he survives that risk as I pray for all those who
seek peace even with 'baby steps'.
I think he is a good President for Iran and it seems to me that he is
also seeking peace and more liberty for all Iranians since his cause
of seeking the civil liberties including the right to a defense and to
question the accusers, and to present evidence of those accused of a
crime will absolutely affect all Iranians in a positive way. I think
that is a MAJOR step toward peace there and with the nations who
seek the news from Iran [that is after all what journalists do--report
the news events] and I think President Ahmadinejad should be
reelected as he seems open to debating civil liberties. I pray he will
also remember that the true civil liberties are from GOD. I base that
upon this scripture: " Now THE LORD is that SPIRIT; and where
THE SPIRIT of THE LORD is,there is liberty." II Corinthians 3: 17
PS This format is a little bizarre because I wrote it first then copied my own words to my blog page, but the formatting got messed up. So overlook that wierd line spacing please, but read the words --these are my own words and the quotes of the President of Iran and Bono, are very important ideas!
Quote from Iranian President:
"Today we are preparing a new package. Once it becomes ready, we
will present that package (to you)," the president said. "It is a
package that constitutes peace and justice throughout the globe
and also respects other nations' rights."[end quote] In this article

I am adding this here because it is very encouraging news to me. I believe that Iran and the leaders of the Arabic Empire of nations will dominate the future. I also believe that they have the power already to do that, and that they are beginning to realize that they are independent of the U.S. and that their policies affect the citizens of the U.S. as much or more so than the policies of the U.S. affect them. I also realize that Iran is not considered Arabic to those nations but to me, the similarities in body build,skin color, facial characteristics, mannerisms,speech* suggest a common ancestry from Abraham that the Arabics from Abraham-Hagar union, and the Jews from Abraham-Sarah union have. I think the speech differences are what also occur in the U.S or any large continent where dialects are different for different regions. I pray that in time, all the monotheistic religions will realize the common bond between us and stop fighting each other and fight the devil instead, who is the enemy of GOD.
Thank you President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,Sir! And thank you AP writer Ali Akbar Dareini also for publshing this article and also thanks to earthlink news.

This coming Sunday is the Christian holiday [once called Holy Day] commonly called Easter but known to Christians as the day celebrated as the resurrection of JESUS into heaven. In my effort to teach the world what true born again believers believe I am going to write some of the Scriptures about that Resurrection here.
It is written, 'in the end of the Sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre [where JESUS was laid after his death on the Cross]. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for the Angel of THE LORD descended from heaven , and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow; and for fear of him, the keepers did shake and became as dead men. And The Angel answered and said unto the women, 'fear not ye; for I know that ye seek JESUS which was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as HE said. "come and see the place where The Lord say. And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him; lo, I have told you. ' And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His disciples word. And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, JESUS met them, saying "All hail" .And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped Him. Then said JESUS unto them, 'be not afraid; go tell My brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see Me." Now when they were going behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the Chief Priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel they gave large money unto the soldiers. Saying, 'say ye, ' His disciples came be night and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the Governor's ears, we will persuade him and secure you. So they took the money and did as they were taught, and this saying, is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee into a mountain, where JESUS had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped Him; but some doubted. And JESUS came and spake unto them, saying, 'all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptising them in the Name of THE FATHER and of THE SON, and of THE HOLY GHOST. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I AM with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28 King James Holy Bible
Now here's the thing: the whole event of JESUS being born a human while still being GOD and then dying in your place and my place to make atonement for our sins, was the plan of GOD. If you read the Old Testament as you would read any book then you see that GOD realized after HE made mere mortal humans that they were nothing but clay,and that they could not save themselves. So HE had a plan to redeem all of humanity from the pit of hell. BUT being a good GOD HE would not force HIMSELF on anyone and therefore set up a way to heaven that all who believe could follow HIM to heaven. I know that from these scriptures:
JESUS said, "verily, verily, I say unto you 'he that heareth MY word and believeth on HIM [GOD THE FATHER, SPIRIT] that sent ME hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation [on GOD's final Judgement Day] but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily I say unto you, 'the hour is coming and now is,when the dead shall hear the voice of THE SON of GOD and they that hear shall live. For as THE FATHER hath life in HIMSELF so hath HE given to THE SON [JESUS referring to HIMSELF as being born of THE SPIRIT of GOD], to have life in Himself, and hath given Him authority to execute Judgement also, because He is the Son of man. Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice. And shall come forth,; they that hath done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.' John 5:24-29
And also from these verses: JESUS said, 'all that THE FATHER giveth Me shall come to me; and him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of HIM that sent Me. And this is THE FATHER's will which hath sent Me, that of all which HE hath given Me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one that believeth on Him, should have everlasting life; and I will raise him up [from the dead] up at the last [Judgement] Day. " John 6:37-40
And from these verses: "JESUS said unto her, " I AM the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in ME though he were dead yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in ME, shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11: 25-26.

I read a few minutes ago, rather late in the day the article about Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen losing favor with Muslim people for not apologizing for cartoons in the news there. Generally, I admire Muslim people because they are not swayed from their religiousn beliefs, but I have to write this. Mohammed is not GOD! GOD's commandment is not to make images of GOD as it is written in Exodus chapter 20. You may read those words at this website: http://commandments-of-GOD.info.
I also do not want to ever make images of GOD. I also do not want to disobey or offend GOD ALMIGHTY. I also believe that the Commandments of GOD are still the Commandments of GOD and that they apply to all people, tribes and tongues [native languages]. However, making images of people whether drawing them, sketching them, painting them,photographing them, and yes maybe even cartooning them is not mocking GOD. What mocks GOD is raising a human [Mohammed] to the place of GOD or of worshipping humans in the flesh or images of them, or statues of them, instead of GOD. That is blasphemy and that is offensive to GOD. Mohammed was a prophet according to your Holy Book and I do not disagree with that statement. I read some of the Qu'ran and it seems to have some agreement with The Holy Bible as I know it. Whether he was a true prophet will be determined if what he foretold for the future comes true. If it does not come true, then he is a false prophet. A prophet by definition is 'one who declares what will happen in the future; or' one inspired by GOD to teach GOD's will ' to other humans and 'to announce' GOD's plan, or future events. There is a scripture somewhere in the Holy Bible and I will have to look it up because I don't know the exact verse but it says in a summarized way that the prophet's whose events he foretold do not come to pass is a false prophet. However remember also that sometimes in the events of The Bible, a prophet foretold something that would not happen for centuries or milleniums. So it is very hard to judge prophets, I think, without The Scriptures as your reference point.
Please for the sake of the peace of the world don't get so upset over images of Mohammed. In a way I understand because I would be furious if someone made a mocking image supposedly of JESUS. But I do not believe GOD calls you to war over it. Pray for those who mock you, JESUS said.* And that of course means pray for those who mock your faith. IF your faith is real it will stand the test of time and it will endure persecution and mocking by those who do not beleive. That is one of the promises of GOD, that HIS WORD will endure . In our Holy Bible, it tells how JESUS HIMSELF endured persecution and mocking with the rabble-rousers spitting on HIM, and throwing dice for HIS clothes, and making HIM a reed Sceptre to mock HIS authority, but it says HE did not complain. IF GOD HIMSELF did not complain when HE was persecuted perhaps we should learn from HIS example??

This iis an open letter to the people of Yemen:
I read in the news this morning about the second suicide-bombing against Koreans in a week, and I saw the photos in the BBC news. There is a horror about such events--blood and bone and tissues splattered all over the place is one of the most repulsive and horrible events as seen on the photo. You do not get to heaven by killing innocent people. Whatever their religion or faith, or lack of, they are loved by GOD and GOD would want them to come to know and accept HIM before being dispatched into eternity. You who think you serve GOD by killing innocents, are wrong.
There is no 'moral duty' to kill anyone. There is no 'right' to kill. There is no commandment to kill. You do not serve your religion by killing. In fact,the opposite is true. You dishonor the commandment of GOD and you bring dishonor to yourselves and to GOD when you violate the commandments of GOD. There is a commandment NOT to kill and it is very clear. "Thou shalt not kill' is what GOD wrote in stone and then spoke again as one of the Commandments of GOD for all people.
Repent for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand in the Arabic world. The merciless slaughter of foreigners,
and your own people is setting you on a collision course with GOD ALMIGHTY.

I waked up early this am and felt the tug of The Holy Spirit to do something and I prayed, 'what?" And GOD spoke to me, to read Ezra in The Bible, [I read and quote from The King James Holy Bible] and so I did. And I think these are the verses GOD inspired me to put here:
"Then Darius the King made a decree, and search was made in the house of rolls [archives] where the treasures of Babylon were laid up in Babylon. And there was found at Ach-me-tha in the Palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll [[scrolled paper] and therein was a record thus written: 'In the first year of Cyrus the King the same Cyrus the King made a decree concerning the house of GOD at Jerusalem. Let the house be builded the place where they offered sacrifices and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits; and the breadth thereof threescore cubits... [note, I am skipping some verses describing how to build it so it is not so long,]; let the work of this house of GOD alone; let the Governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of GOD in HIS place. Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of GOD; that of The King's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men that they be not hindered; that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto THE GOD of heaven, and pray for the life of the King and of his sons. Also, I have made a decree that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this. And THE GOD that hath caused HIS NAME to dwell there destroy all Kings and people,that shall put their hand to destroy this house of GOD which is at Jerusalem.' I Darius, have made a decree; let it be done with speed". .[Note: summing up many verses in this bracketed ..and the people set about building the house of GOD .. I am skipping many verses to chapter seven where King Artaxerxes confirms again the decree, but read the entire book of Ezra]... "Artaxexerxes, King of Kings unto Ezra the Priest, a scribe of the law of THE GOD of heaven, perfect peace, and as such a time. I make a decree that all they of the people of Israel and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. ..and whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your GOD. The vessels also that are given thee for the service of thy GOD, those deliver before THE GOD of Jerusalem. And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy GOD, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the house of The King's treasure house. And I, even I Ar-tax-erx-es The King do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the Priest the scribe of the law of THE GOD of heaven, shall require of you, it shall be done speedily. Unto a hundred talents of silver and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. Whatsoever is commanded by THE GOD of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of THE GOD of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of The King and his sons?". Ezra 6:1-3,7-8,10-12,ch7:12-13,18-23, King James Holy Bible.
Now,here's the thing and the reason I have written this here: the house of GOD still exists and so do the Medes and Persians though they are called by different names today. [read entry about that on another blog of mine at http://gloriapoole.com/defiant and scroll to the one about Medes and Persians.] The infighting amongst the Jews and Arabs has to end! They have a common ancestor Abraham, and a common GOD. By that I mean they have the same GOD as do all of us humans. GOD is certainly not common in the sense of average but common meaning universal. There is ONE GOD according even to the words of JESUS who said, "I and MY FATHER are one" John 10:30, KJV. JESUS was THE GOD in the flesh who put HIMSELF into the womb to come to the earth as an innocent baby to live amongst us and to know the temptations we as humans experience, yet HE was still GOD and still human; and HE came to be the perfect sacrifice the once for all to make atonement for sins, and allowed HIMSELF to be crucified and raised HIMSELF from the earthly mortal existence to the immortal supernatural back to heaven, to show the way for us humans to get to heaven. JESUS is alive forevermore according to Revelation 1:7-18 and lives in heaven in a glorified body as do those who accept HIM go to heaven also do.
The Bible records the history of the Jews and of the Arabs and it records their sibling rivalries and it also foretells how the earthly existence of the planet(s) of the human realm will end in GOD's time and way in the book of Revelation. The point of the Scriptures here in thsi entry is that GOD will not tolerate the hindrance of HIS work on the earth, and that HE removes Kings and sets up Kings to do HIS bidding and maintaining the scribes of the Law of GOD is important to GOD and that HE provides for that 'work' and that the leaders of the nations must not hinder that work. And that GOD honors Jerusalem by putting it into the Kings' hearts to provide for the building of GOD's house of prayer and worship and to protect that house of prayer and worship. And I believe that is true not only of Jerusalem but around the world wherever there is a house of prayer and worship of THE ONE TRUE and LIVING GOD.

King Abdullah making changes in His Kingdom:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7890211.stm/
by firing a Judge who promoted the killing of the owners of TV
channels promoting immoral programmes. I think that is wise for
him to do that, not allow the promotion of killing of innocents for
any reason.If the TV channels were immoral then they could have
been removed from the air waves, could they not, without killing the
station owners?
A public thank you King Abudullah because it will be a powerful
deterrent to the killing of journlists and other innocent people.
I believe that any religion that is based upon THE ONE GOD will
endure over time, regardless of what humans do, because GOD
does not vanish over time. Nations built upon the worship of THAT
ONE GOD who may,as Kings do, have different personas at different
times but still be the ONE GOD, will endure and be blessed according
to Scripture. It is written, by a King whom GOD loved according to
scripture,'blessed is the nation whose GOD is THE LORD;" Psalms
33:12,King James Holy Bible. *
Also, here is a very positive article on the so-called Middle East. I put
that so-called there because I heard a prominent man from the Middle East
say at a seminar in Washington DC years ago, that his questions to a speaker who
used the descriptor "Middle East" were:
middle of what and east of where?

I think the Iraqi people will get it together--are getting it together. I think the Arab bloc of
nations will too, and that they will realize the enormous power they
already have. And I think the US is in decline and the people are
realizing that, and that the paradigm shift the nation seeks has less
to do with dollars than with integrity, and the spirit, willingness to
take that Wall St golden calf by the horns and wrestle him to the
ground, and then look up to GOD.

Taleban calls for 10 day ceasefire, and praise GOD!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7891410.stm/
Ceasefire in the Swat Valley near Kashmir and Afghanistan border
according to BBC map. I am not expert on these nations but
I know that GOD loves them too, and so do I. I quote from the

'Goodwill gesture'
The agreement was signed by Taleban cleric Sufi Mohammad
after talks with the North West Frontier Province's government."
[end quote] Thank you Sir, Cleric [what we in Baptist would call
a Minister] Mohammad for encouraging peace
and ending the bloodshed. I pray the ceasefire becomes a
permanent situation and all of you in those countries and
also your expatriates in other countries begin to have better lives
in every way. I have suffered much for my beliefs in GOD and yet,

Coptic Christians seeking Recognition of Christian Beliefs in Egypt:

A quote from the article:
By Christopher Landau, who is the
BBC Religious Affairs correspondent, Cairo :
"Maher al-Gohary has converted from Islam to Christianity.
In spite of facing death threats, he's engaged in a legal battle
to have his changed religion recognised on his official Egyptian
documents. " And another quote:"Some believe that to renounce
Islam - known as apostasy - should be punished by death.
But human rights lawyers in Egypt are convinced that the
country's law allows for the freedom to change religion."[end quote]
Also there is another article in today's news that suggests something I never thought about: that Valentine's day is a Christian celebration. Correction: Valentine's Day is a SECULAR celebration--not a Christian one.
There is no mention of any sort of thing in the Bible. In fact, the only
sort of love spoken of in the Bible is married love! Of a faithful nature since
GOD says HE punishes adultery and fornication [sex before marriage].
I quote from the article:"Valentine's Day comes from Western countries. I call on
Muslims not to imitate Christians," said preacher Sheikh Hassan
Hamid, in a statement released to Reuters news agency on
Wednesday." 8:28 AM 2/14/2009

Also to whomever is holding the UNHCR {UN Commissioner on Refugees] please release him.
Kidnapping people will not help your cause. It may open his eyes to the circumstances and realities
in a way never before understood but it makes you look like infidels [heathens, ungodly] to the world.
Please release him!
