Christmas Display Banned in Warren Michigan

A 63-year tradition has been halted in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. A nativity scene in the town of Warren that has been privately hosted and maintained by resident John Satawa has been ordered removed by the city because it “clearly displays a religious message” in violation of the “separation of church and state,” according to the article. The decision was made after the Macomb County Road Commission received a letter from the Freedom from Religion Foundation in December 2008, which acted as a representative of all 134,000 residents in the city, and said it violated the Constitution. A federal lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Satawa, citing a violation of the Establishment Clause by disfavoring religion.

Taliban to Pakistani Christians: Convert to Islam or Face Consequences

Members of the “religion of peace” in Pakistan have threatened Christians with dire consequences if they do not convert to Islam. According to a report by the International Christian Concern, members of the Taliban sent letters on October 6th to Christians in Sargodha, Pakistan, warning them to convert to Islam or face dire consequences. In the letter, Christians are told to convert to Islam, pay a tax imposed on religious minorities or leave the country. The letter warns that those who refuse one of the choices, “would be killed, their property and homes would be burnt to ashes and their women would be treated as sex slaves. And they themselves would be responsible for this.” Over the past four months, 12 Christians have been killed by Muslims in Pakistan.

The religion of peace strikes again. On September 28th, the home of a Christian family in Pakistan was attacked by Islamists for refusing to convert to Islam.

Police were notified of the threats but were unable to stop the attack.

Islam on Capitol Hill on September 25th

Organizers hope to bring thousands of Muslims to Capitol Hill this coming Friday for a day of “Islamic unity.” But who is behind the effort to bring members of the world’s second largest religion to this nation’s capital? A lawyer who represented the terrorists accused in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Let’s hope the religion of peace doesn’t harm any American soldiers for drinking water during the event.
