New Louisiana Laws Send A Clear Message: Churches And Synagogues Are Not Fair Game For Disruptive Political Theater

Months after protesters stormed a Minnesota church, turning a sacred space into a scene of chaos, Louisiana is taking decisive action to shield its own congregations from similar threats. Gov. Jeff Landry (R) has signed two bills designed to safeguard the sanctity of worship and ensure that prayer and reflection are not interrupted by intimidation or disorder. “In Louisiana,” said Landry, “we are committed to maintaining the right to worship without interference, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding religious liberty. With the signing of these two bills, those protections just became stronger.”

SPLC Was The Hub, But Many Spokes Made Up The Wheel Designed To Crush Christians And Conservatives

In America, citizens should not lose access to banking services, digital platforms, public credibility, or physical safety because they believe in biblical teaching on marriage and human sexuality. When government-regulated institutions can apply ideological labels in a coordinated fashion to silence, isolate, or financially cripple opponents, we allow political targeting by proxy, and freedom is at risk. SPLC was the hub, but there were many spokes that made up this wheel designed to crush Christians and conservatives — the congressional inquiry should not stop with SPLC.

Residents described Oyedokun as a committed teacher and Christian who served his community with dedication. Church leaders and civil society groups have called for the release of the abducted victims and for the arrest of those responsible. Local officials and education advocates said the attack has renewed concerns about the security of schools in parts of Southwest Nigeria, where kidnappings for ransom have become more frequent in recent years.

Pastors In The Crosshairs: The War Of Attrition Against Free Speech In The UK Must End

ADF legal counsel Jeremiah Igunnubole described the police’s decision to drop the November charges as a “vindication” of Moodley’s conduct. He said the case is a symptom of a wider pattern and called on Parliament to take action. “The war of attrition against free speech in the U.K., demonstrated in Pastor Dia’s case, must end,” Igunnubole said. “Censorial laws need to be repealed urgently, and stronger protections, including a Free Speech Bill, are needed to reverse the growing culture of censorship within law enforcement.” Meanwhile, Moodley will continue expressing his faith in the public square. “I will continue to share my faith publicly, undeterred by the police’s censorship and the threats and violence I have faced, and will stand for free speech not just for myself, but for the rights of all people in the U.K.”

Christian Publishers In China Endure Harsh Conditions In Prison

Chang Yuchun and his wife, Li Chenhui, remain in brutal conditions in separate prisons in Xi’an City, Shaanxi province, China. The couple was involved in printing Christian literature and materials in Xi’an in 2015. In July 2020, their company was raided and closed. State security police seized more than 210,000 Christian books.

A Constitutional Crisis: COVID May Be Years Behind Us, But The Side Effects To Religious Liberty Still Linger

The era of lockdowns created a constitutional crisis. It opened an entirely new line of attack on religious liberty, creating a whole host of legal issues. Houses of worship and religious freedom became a flashpoint during the pandemic. There were abuses of power and churches felt that overreach the most. This led to unfair treatment of religious people and organizations across America.

‘Genocide Cover-Up’: Report Uncovers $10 Million Lobbying Ploy To Hide Christian Persecution In Nigeria

Released by International Christian Concern (ICC), the report titled “Nigeria’s $10 Million Genocide Cover-Up” alleges that these lobbying efforts were designed to influence U.S. policy discussions on Nigeria and improve Nigeria’s image in regard to the increasing reports of Islamic extremist groups targeting and killing Christians, as well as the government’s failure to intercede.

Nigeria: It Is Time For The US Government And The Media To Answer Their Cries

What’s needed is a comprehensive strategy — one that combines targeted military action with efforts to stabilize conditions on the ground and provide sustained humanitarian support. It will also require leadership that is committed to seeing the mission through to the end. They can’t be distracted by the next flashy story. Past mistakes have shown us that short-term interventions rarely work — and often make conditions worse for those left behind. It is time for the government of the United States — and the media — to answer their cries. Otherwise, we are looking at another record year of Christians killed, with no end in sight. How can we justify our silence?

‘A Dark Day For Christian Freedom’: Northern Ireland Pastor Convicted for Preaching John 3:16 Near ‘Buffer Zone’

“The U.K.’s persecution of silent prayer represents not only an egregious violation of the fundamental right to free speech and religious liberty, but also a concerning departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.-U.K. relations.”

Finnish Parliamentarian Convicted Of ‘Insulting’ A Group For 20-Year-Old Church Booklet to Appeal To European Court

“The retroactive censorship of a 20-year-old booklet produced by and for a church community is among the most chilling developments in the ongoing attack on freedom of speech across Europe,” said Lorcán Price, legal counsel with ADF International, serving on Räsänen’s legal team.

A Clash Of ‘Worldviews’: DOJ Report Lays Bare The Anti-Christian Bias Pervasive In The Biden Administration

The new report released this week by the Department of Justice’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias is a wake-up call. The task force, led by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has produced one of the most, if not the most, substantive works of this administration. The report, entitled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government,” lays bare what is at the heart of the Left’s disdain for religious freedom: it is a clash of “worldviews” over abortion, gender ideology, and sexual orientation.

Christian YouTuber In Egypt Faces Five Years’ Imprisonment And Hard Labor For Teaching His Faith Online

Egyptian authorities have sentenced Augustinos Samaan, a Christian scholar, and YouTuber, to five years in prison and hard labor for his online videos teaching about and defending the Christian faith.

A Deeply Alarming Slippery Slope: UK Police Continue Efforts To Criminalize Public Preaching Of The Gospel

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Pastor Clayden, said: “This is a deeply alarming development. Public‑order powers designed to address genuine anti‑social behaviour are now being used to clamp down on Christian preaching. Today it is amplification; tomorrow it is the content of the message itself. We are seeing a slippery slope from managing noise to policing theology.”

German Christian YouTubers Investigated For ‘Blasphemy’ After Criticizing Antisemitism And Islamic Extremism

Two Christian YouTubers in Germany are reportedly under criminal investigation after publishing a video addressing antisemitism and Islamic extremism, raising renewed concerns over religious freedom and free speech in Europe.

Mike Pompeo: We Must Resist The Left’s War On Religious Freedom

It should go without saying that the First Amendment freedoms of conscience, religion, and speech are foundational to our constitutional order. The more these rights are eroded, the faster we will find ourselves on a path toward the type of political and social decay afflicting so much of Western Europe.

Christian School Counselor Unlawfully Fired For Speaking About Parental Rights Awarded Settlement

McCord verified the veracity of the journalist’s findings. When asked by the journalist to confirm whether the district was “keeping parents in the dark,” McCord acknowledged that the district was not being transparent with parents about its “gender support” policy, a press release from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) states.

Ugandan Bill To Establish Sharia Courts Sparks Urgent Religious Freedom Concerns

“The Ugandan Qadhis Courts Bill should not proceed within the Parliament, and it is imperative that both international and Ugandan actors oppose it. The proposed bill’s passage would represent a dangerous expansion of Sharia law into Sub-Saharan Africa at a time when Christian persecution is growing.”

Alliance Defending Freedom Appeals Ruling Barring Businesses From Speaking Out Against Gender Ideology

“Colorado continues to place itself on the wrong side of the law by forcing Coloradans to speak against their conscience,” said Frampton. “As the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed this week when it ruled against another Colorado law in Chiles v. Salazar, the government shouldn’t be able to censor speech or force people to speak views they disagree with. We are asking the appeals court to protect the ability of Coloradans to openly express their beliefs on a hotly debated issue.”

India Launches Census Collecting Data On Religion; Experts Warn Of Significant Ramifications For Christians

Originally scheduled for 2021, the census was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, it is the first census in nearly a century to collect detailed caste data. This development is particularly significant for the country’s religious minority populations, including Christians, and could pose serious risks to their livelihoods, freedom, and even citizenship.

UK Police Interrogate Christian Pastor Arrested For Commenting On Islam And Transgender Ideology

“I consider public preaching to be an essential part of my worship, which the police have de facto inhibited, due to their investigation. There are no Islamic or progressive blasphemy laws in this country, and yet time and time again the police have censored me as if there are. The police should drop this investigation and refrain from censoring me again in the future.”

Christian Town In Syria Targeted Ahead Of Easter As Violence Escalates

Christians in central Syria faced a tense Easter weekend after their town was targeted by armed Muslim men, with residents watching in horror as church property, homes, shops, a café, and cars were damaged, residents said. The violence erupted in the predominantly Christian town of Suqaylabiyah in Hama province ahead of Palm Sunday, in what locals described as the latest attack against Syria’s Christian minority.

Canada Is One Step Closer To Making Christian Beliefs Illegal To Express

Of course, they are claiming this will not “criminalize faith,” but we’ve seen what has happened in Europe (and what has already happened in Canada) when “hate crime” legislation is passed. Christians are specifically targeted for their beliefs, especially regarding gender, marriage, and the sanctity of human life. Every thinking person knows that this change to the Criminal Code will be used in exactly the same way eventually (and probably not far in the future). It’s all part of the spiritual battle raging around us as Satan attempts to silence Christians.

Despite Conclusions Of The IRS, Federal Judge Upholds Law Barring Churches From Political Endorsements

“Plaintiffs have a bona fide religious conviction that they must teach and preach about all areas of life,” the complaint states. “No area of life is exempt from the reach of Scripture. And teaching is not limited to generalized principles. Proper teaching includes a precise application of scriptural principles to every area of life. This includes the spiritual duty to teach about issues of life that may arise in the public arena.”

Pressure Mounts on Nigerian Government After Muslim Jihadists Kill Scores Of Christians On Palm Sunday

The ongoing slaughter has gotten the attention of the Trump administration after years of being shrugged off during Joe Biden’s presidency. In October of last year, Trump’s Department of State redesignated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern. Months later, on Christmas Day, the U.S. military struck ISIS-linked targets in northern Nigeria with 16 Tomahawk missiles after the country’s government requested the assistance.

‘Religious Liberty Is Foundational’: New Bill Protects Faith-Based Organizations From Federal Discrimination

The Fair Treatment of Religious Organizations Act, which Utah Congressman Blake Moore introduced in the House of Representatives Friday, would prohibit the federal government from refusing religious organizations tax-exempt status or federal funding eligibility based solely on their beliefs about marriage and sexuality.

Dozens Killed During Palm Sunday Attacks in Nigeria

Gunmen killed at least 30 people during a Palm Sunday attack in Ungwan Rukuba, a community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau state, Nigeria. The incident occurred during the evening, when armed men reportedly entered the community and opened fire on residents. Eyewitnesses described the attack as coordinated, with multiple casualties recorded and several homes affected.

A Revealing Ideological Bias: Australia Grants Special Status To Radical Anti-Christian Lobby Group

Equality Australia actively campaigns against religious freedom because they think that a biblical worldview on human sexuality is discriminatory. They have urged the removal of religious exemptions in anti-discrimination laws, arguing that these exemptions protect the discriminators. It is their view that the discriminators are Christians who believe in marriage between a male and a female, and Christian schools who teach this biblical truth.

Finland’s Criminal Case About The Bible Is A Reminder For Americans: Defend The First Amendment

“We've got to get busy deciding how we want to live,” Roy warned. “ Are we going to defend our Judeo-Christian culture, while maintaining Western values and maintaining the rights to free speech, and freedom of religion, and free expression, or are we not?”

‘Chilling’: Kentucky Woman Loses Employment After Coworkers Initiated Conversations About The Bible

“The idea that an employer can fire an employee for simply voicing a religious belief, after being invited to do so, is chilling,” said Cliff Martin, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute. “No employee should have to hide their faith in order to keep their job.”

Almost Unanimously, 1,200 Texas School Districts Vote Against Allowing Prayer And Bible Reading Time In School

Other school districts across the state invoked the tired phrase, “separation of Church and State,” in order to scare school officials into enforcing a public-school campus entirely sanitized of religion. These vocal opponents of SB11 fret that respecting and tolerating the religious practices of public-school students would cause division, steal valuable instructional time, or even “squeeze in Christian religious opportunities and principles into the school day itself.”

Chilling Ramifications: Finnish Supreme Court Finds Christian Parliamentarian Guilty Of ‘Hate Speech’

“I am taking legal advice on a possible appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is not about my free speech alone, but that of every person in Finland. A positive ruling would help to prevent other innocent people from experiencing the same ordeal for simply sharing their beliefs,” added Räsänen. 

Public Square Pariahs: Why Christians Face Unique Backlash In Modern Culture

Publicly advocating for a soup kitchen and publicly advocating for the protection of life in the womb are both outworkings of a biblical worldview. But there’s a major difference in how those two actions are perceived by culture. As Christians, therefore, we aren’t resented for everything we believe and do, but because we’re reviled for opposing some of the values most cherished by culture, we’re increasingly hated as a group.

While Approving Student Anti-ICE Protests, School Says Sharing The Gospel With Classmates Is ‘Not Permitted’

During the conversation with the student, the vice principal said it was permissible for the school to allow students to leave campus during school hours to participate in anti-ICE protests, but she maintained that the student’s distribution of religious literature was not permitted. “The District’s own officials have articulated a policy of viewpoint discrimination with unusual candor,” the ACLJ’s letter states. “The school has opened a forum for student expression during non-instructional time and has selectively excluded a religious viewpoint from that forum.”
