‘De Facto Blasphemy Laws’: As The UK Seeks To Redefine ‘Anti-Muslim Hostility,’ Legal Experts Sound The Alarm

If the government adopts this as its official definition it will be a very significant moment in this country. While it will not actually be a blasphemy law, it will effectively be a blasphemy code in relation to Islam. It won’t actually be a criminal offence to say something which falls foul of this definition, but you could lose your job and have your speech recorded against you as a non-crime hate incident.

Socialist Nicaragua Adds Bibles To The List Of Items Prohibited From Entering The Country

“We call on the government of Nicaragua to lift this ban immediately,” Stangl said, “and to cease its continued efforts to stifle freedom of religion or belief and expression in the country. We also reiterate our call on the international community to seek creative ways to support and strengthen independent Nicaraguan voices both inside the country and in exile.”

The Genocide Of Christians In Nigeria And A War Of Propaganda To Convince The World Nothing Is Out Of The Ordinary

There’s a genocide happening in Nigeria. While this may sound sensationalized, it’s a sober reality backed by years of data, eyewitness testimony, and independent documentation. While Christians are being slaughtered, abducted, and displaced, another war has just begun. It’s a war of propaganda intent on convincing the world that nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

‘The Devil Is In The Details’ Of Bill C-9: Canadian Gov’t Demonizes The Bible As ‘Hateful,’ Revokes Long-Standing Religious Exemption

The intentions of Bloc Québécois and the Liberal Government in making these changes were put on full display after MP Marc Miller publicly chastised the Bible. While claiming himself to be a “man of faith,” Miller insisted that multiple books contained in God’s Word are “homophobic,” stating that sharing certain passages should be considered “hate speech” under the law.

Both Side Of The Bloody Conflict In Sudan Have A Common Enemy: Christians

Although the RSF and SAF are in conflict with each other, they have a common enemy in Christians, whom they do not see as fitting their Islamic vision for Sudan. Churches have been targeted by both the RSF and SAF. Christians have been denied food aid and told, “Unless you leave your Christianity, no food for you.” They, along with all the other people of Sudan caught in the crossfire, are the true victims here.

Teacher Fired for Calling England a Christian Country Wins Appeal

A teacher in England who was banned from working with children for telling a Muslim student that “Britain is still a Christian state” has won an appeal and received a new teaching job. 

As Christmas Markets Become A Focal Point Of Islamic Hatred, It’s Time For The West To Take Notice

A warning is once again relevant, as the cherished Christmas market has become a focal point of their hatred. Long seen as a symbol of joy and celebration, a place for families to gather and share time together, to enjoy hot chocolate and seasonal foods, and to experience nativity displays and carol singers. They are now labelled a “high-risk” environment that requires armed police, concrete security barriers, and anti-terror protocols.

The Prophetic Significance Of Socialism’s Rise In America

The rise of Socialism has profound implications for the future of our nation and, given the fact that America is the global leader, it also has ramifications for the entire globe. It's nothing short of meteoric. However, beyond those concerns, the popularity of Socialism also has strong prophetic overtones that I believe will pave the way for the rise of the world's final great tyrant: the antichrist.

Trial By Jury: The Next Item On The Chopping Block In England Holds Major Ramifications For Freedom

Thank God that the United States declared independence from England two-and-a-half centuries ago and dependence upon the Lord at the same time. Great Britain, which was a prime mover toward human progress in many ways, seems to be going through a period of jettisoning its former greatness – one move at a time. On the chopping block? Trial by jury for many cases.

The War On Drugs: The Real Battle Is Not Merely On The Seas… Its In The Spiritual Condition Of America

If the war on drugs is ever to succeed, its focus must move beyond the criminal suppliers to the broken users who sustain the market. Reducing demand is essential, and that responsibility extends far beyond government. Drug use is fueled by social breakdown — family instability, isolation, peer pressure, economic despair, glamorizing media, and weakened institutions — and most prominently, spiritual emptiness that leaves individuals without purpose and hope.

Poisoning Public Debate: BBC News Misleads UK Population About ‘Conversion Therapy’

I believe that this article is materially misleading the public on a matter of real importance. The BBC has long suppressed stories of those who are grateful to have moved out of gay or trans identities, but this is a step further.

In-Depth: UN COP30 Climate Summit Unites World Religions Under The Cult Of ‘Earth Worship’

In addition to the political and economic agendas advanced at COP30, one of the least reported but most consequential developments in Belém was, in fact, the increasingly religious and spiritual framing of the global climate movement. Far from being a secular, science-driven assembly, COP30 brought together an unprecedented coalition of world religions.

As Islam Terrorizes Europe, The Left Resists Trump’s Efforts To Protect America From The Same Future

Trump's team is tracking down and deporting the many bad actors who entered America under the previous administration. Those deportations, along with Trump's vow to shut down immigration from places like Somalia and Afghanistan, has sent the left into a tizzy. Apparently, Democrats want to turn America into Western Europe, where mass Muslim immigration and lax border security are the norms. How is that working out for the Europeans?

Assault On Religious Freedom: Quebec ‘Secularism Minister’ Applauds Bill Aiming To Stifle Public Prayer, Religious Speech

Religious practice includes groups praying in parks, streets, public squares, universities and other public areas and institutions, Premier Christian News reports. Jean-François Roberge, Quebec’s secularism minister, lauded the introduction, believing the bill would be a step toward full secularization in Quebec.

A Prophetic Shift Of Gears: Young Adults Express Willingness To Hand Over Government Power, Freedoms To AI

“These results are stunning. What we are seeing is the early emergence of an AI strongman mentality among younger Americans. Younger generations are increasingly disillusioned with the failures of traditional institutions, so much so, that they are willing to hand control to artificial intelligence... These poll results illustrate an incredibly dangerous trajectory for any society that values personal autonomy and liberty."

Washington School District Makes Families Jump Through Hoops to Send Kids to Bible Classes

Despite LifeWise meeting all the necessary criteria, the school district has created obstacles for families who want their children to be in the program. Some of these hurdles include prohibiting LifeWise from participating in community events and displaying its flyers. It also requires LifeWise students to conceal any written materials they receive from the program in a sealed envelope in their backpacks.

Four Christian Workers Abducted In Pakistan After Seeking Lawful Wages Witheld By Muslim Employer

Four Christian brick-kiln workers have been abducted in Pakistan’s Punjab province after demanding the payment of their lawful wages from their Muslim employer, investigators told Worthy News Wednesday.

UK Supreme Court Rules That Christian Education And Worship In Schools Is Unlawful

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused religious education and collective worship in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools is “unlawful.” This is a direct assault on the Christian foundations of the education system, but has been coming for some time. It is a stark warning of what happens when a nation abandons truth for relativism in its schools.

Chinese Pastor, Released After 12 Years Behind Bars, Thanks Americans For Drawing Attention To CCP Persecution

“China is at war with faith, and it is at war with us,” Brownback stated. “China fears religious freedom more than they fear our aircraft carriers or our nuclear weapons. If the world’s largest authoritarian state can eradicate religious freedom without consequences, it undermines the authority of America’s founding values and global leadership.”

EU’s Highest Court Rules That Poland And Other Member States Must Recognize Same-Sex Marriages

While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies. 

Even With Islam’s Alarming Rise, Claims Of A Muslim Antichrist Are Not Grounded In Biblical Truth

Today, believers take two approaches to Islam: either fearing it as the ultimate end-times threat or downplaying it like any other religion. Both miss the mark completely. To understand why, we need to examine what's actually happening in our world and what the Bible really teaches about the end times.

Violent Chicago Attack Shines Spotlight On The Destructive Policies Of Major Liberal Cities

News of the attack did not go unnoticed by the President, who responded with strong words on Tuesday for the judicial system in Chicago, which allowed the attacker with 72 prior arrests to continue roaming the streets. Trump lambasted "liberal judges" and Chicago authorities for creating lawlessness and allowing crime to run rampant in the city, calling the situation "out of control."

Widespread Abductions And Massacres: Attacks On Christians In Nigeria Continue As Government Is Urged To Take Action

The continuing violence has led the U.S. State Department to once again designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. In announcing the move, President Donald Trump said Nov. 1 that if the Nigerian government fails to crack down on the killing of Christians, the U.S. military will be prepared to take military action to wipe out the Islamic terrorists committing the atrocities.

Father Calls Calvary Chapel A ‘Cult’ In Attempt To Stop Mother From Taking Their Child To Church

“Calvary Chapel is not a cult. This custody order banning a mother from taking her child to a Christian church because of its biblical teachings regarding marriage and human sexuality violates the First Amendment. The custody order cannot prohibit the mother from taking her daughter to church. The implications of this order pose a serious threat to religious freedom.”

DRC: Islamist Attack On Hospital In Christian-Majority Territory Leaves At Least 20 Dead

ADF rebels attacked the Byambwe Reference Health Center in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC) Christian-majority Lubero territory early Saturday morning, executing at least 18 patients in their hospital beds.

From Nigeria to New York, Islamic Ideology Is Forcibly Working To Gain Ground

The first was the largely underreported, if not unreported, news in the mainstream media about the horrific slaughtering of Christians in the country of Nigeria. The second event was the result of the mayoral election in New York City, where Democratic Socialist and Muslim adherent, Zohran Mamdani, succeeded in his campaign to become the next leader of one of America’s largest cities, often viewed as the shining beacon of capitalism. While these two circumstances might seemingly appear unrelated, there exists one prominent point of connection that is shared by both – Islam.

Europe’s Highest Court Rules Against Poland’s Eugenic Abortion Ban, Claiming It Breaches ‘Human Rights’

“Poland has both the sovereign prerogative and the duty to protect all innocent human life. Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal acted courageously to protect children with disabilities from discrimination before birth—a goal fully consistent with international human rights law.”

State Department Designates European Antifa Groups Foreign Terror Organizations

“We’re not going to stop at just arresting the violent criminals we can see in the streets,” Bondi said. “Fighting crime is more than just getting the bad guy off of the street. It’s breaking down the organization brick by brick. Just like we did with cartels. We’re going to take this same approach, President Trump, with Antifa. Destroy the entire organization from top to bottom.”

Comrade Katie: Seattle Socialist Wins Mayoralty on Democratic Ticket

Less than two weeks after Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani was elected the next mayor of New York City, the nation’s west coast elected its own Mamdani equivalent: democratic socialist Katie Wilson has been declared the next mayor of Seattle.

‘Witch Hunt’: Russia Continues Crackdown On Unregistered Baptist Churches

“In Russia, the ‘witch hunt’ is continuing,” Russian attorney Anatoly Pchelintsev said. “I have a question for the deputies who seem so quick to pass prohibitive and punitive laws: What’s stopping them from providing clarity and certainty in legislation so that believers are not harassed?”

City Backs Down, Allows Live Nativity on Public Land

“For so long,” he said, “the message to government employees, to teachers, really to anyone in the public arena, is ‘No religion is allowed.’ So I think that a simple demand letter can shed light on that particular lie. … For years, the Supreme Court and other courts have acknowledged that private citizens directing private displays, like Susan is, has always been not just permitted but encouraged by the Constitution.”

As Communism Gains Ground, Trump Renews America’s ‘National Promise’ To Oppose ‘One Of History’s Most Destructive Ideologies’

"New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of 'social justice' and 'democratic socialism,' yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of the government, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control," he cautioned. "America rejects this evil doctrine."

Malta’s Prosecution Of Christian Convert Is A Harbinger Of LGBT Objectives In U.S.

In a case with long-term ramifications for the United States, Maltese Christian Matthew Grech has been charged with violating the Mediterranean country’s so-called “conversion therapy” ban for simply sharing his personal testimony of Christian conversion from an LGBT lifestyle in a broadcast interview.
