WATCH: Democrat Rep. Fudge Reads Letter Attacking Trump Supporters, Christians During Floor Speech

By RYAN SAAVEDRA

Democrat Rep. Marcia Fudge (OH) read a letter from one of her constituents disparaging supporters of President Donald Trump and evangelical Christians on Tuesday during a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives.

“It is glaringly apparent that many who support the president’s administration are either racists, steeped in religious beliefs, ignorant, or as my mother used to say, just plain dumb,” Fudge said as she read the letter on the House floor. “I believe the crooked ascension of Trump to the Oval Office is a gauge that measures the declining patriotic and moral values of the many citizens of America as well as being the revelation of the hidden bigotry, judgmental attitudes that yet exist in many of those who call themselves evangelicals.”

“I believe that I can safely assume that the United States is no longer a democracy,” Fudge continued reading.

Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX) told Fudge after she read the letter: “Remarks and debate may not engage in personalities towards the president, including by repeating remarks made elsewhere that would be improper if spoken in the member’s own words.”

The Trump campaign responded to Fudge’s reading of the letter in a tweet, reading: “Democrats didn’t learn their lesson from Hillary’s huge loss. They are still insulting millions of Americans, this time from the floor of the House of Representatives. It seems all Democrats are offering the country is more hate and hoaxes!”

WATCH: Pennsylvania State Rep Offers Cash to Internet Users for Doxing Teenage Girls Protesting Planned Parenthood

CAP

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has a tough guy on its hands.

By

A Democrat member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives filmed himself confronting Planned Parenthood protestors and offered internet users money to dox three teenage girls.

“Watch PA Rep [Brian Sims] offer up $100 for the identities & addresses of 3 TEENAGERS who are fighting for the lives of preborn [sic] children. This is despicable,” Live Action said on Twitter, sharing Sims’ video.

“What we’ve got here is a bunch of protestors,” Sims said in his video outside of a Pennsylvania Planned Parenthood. “A bunch of pseudo-Christian protestors. They’re out here shaming young girls for being here. So here’s the deal – I’ve got $100 for anyone who will identify any of these three, that I will donate to Planned Parenthood.”

He pointed his camera directly at three teenage girls, who were outside with an older lady who explained that they were simply “praying for the babies.”

It is unclear when the video was taken.

“So look,” he continued. “A bunch of white people standing outside a Planned Parenthood shaming people. There’s nothing Christian about what you’re doing. There’s nothing Christian, or Godly, or loving about what you’re doing.”

He then approached a man and told him that – instead of having the internet dox him – it would be easier if the man just gave up his name and address. When the man proudly gave him his name and hometown, the lawmaker switched up his tactics.

“What makes you think it’s okay to tell women what’s right for their bodies? The truth is, I’m not really asking, because I don’t care. Shame on you,” he said before the man could answer.

Sunday, a video surfaced of Sims harassing an elderly woman as she prayed silently outside a Planned Parenthood.

FRENCH IMAM TELLS MUSLIMS NOT TO DONATE MONEY TO REBUILDING OF NOTRE DAME

French Imam Tells Muslims Not to Donate Money to Rebuilding of Notre Dame

“You have no shame?”

 | Infowars.com – APRIL 29, 2019

An Imam in France told Muslims not to donate to the rebuilding of Notre Dame, asking those who do, “you have no shame?”

During the lecture, the Imam asserted that only Christians should donate to the cause, “Because it’s the symbol of their religion, and not the symbol of Muslims.”

He went on to complain that his words would be twisted but openly discouraged Muslims from donating to the rebuild anyway.

“When I hear a Muslim instance to ask Muslims to contribute [financially] in the reconstruction of the cathedral! There! That’s the straw! There we stop!” said the Imam.

In 48 hours a billion euros were collected. The solidarity. Very well. But you — the so called Muslim example, who is representing Muslims — you have no shame? You have no humiliation? You have no common sense? You have no wisdom?” he asked.

The Imam went on to say that Muslims who do donate should be ridiculed because the money would be better spent on building and maintaining mosques.

Great to see the benefits of integration and diversity in France at work again!

Just Like That, They’re ‘Christians’ Again

The New York Times decided not to use any euphemisms on Wednesday when they reported that “mobs of Christian men in Sri Lanka” have allegedly been “threatening and beating Muslims.”

CAP

Note, they specifically identified “Christians” as the attackers and “Muslims” as the victims. 

Contrast that with their front page in the aftermath of the Sri Lanka terrorist suicide bombing attacks where no mention was made of Muslims being the attackers nor Christians being the victims.

We saw just the same with the Democrats.

Even though this was the deadliest Muslim terrorist attack since 9/11, the suffering of those killed and their families takes a backseat in the media to the fear of a “backlash” among Muslims.

Sweden: Christian migrants repeatedly attacked by Muslim migrants fear civil war will break out in the country

By   

Today, around 120,000 Syriac Christians reside in Sweden. While many of them fled genocide in the Middle East, attacks against their churches and threats against their organisations are still not uncommon.

Following repeated threats, the Syriac National Federation in Sweden has stepped up security measures, from camera surveillance to its own security guards, the news outlet Samhällsnytt reported.

A recent Facebook post by the Syriac National Federation has detailed expletive-loaded threats it received from speakers of Arabic.

According to the federation’s spokesperson, this is not the first time such an incident has occurred. Most often, he said, the callers speak either Swedish with a thick Middle Eastern accent or even Arabic.

The police, however, chose not to investigate the matter, explaining that obscene language is not illegal.

“As soon as something happens in the Middle East or we are somehow visible in the media, we get these calls, so we are used to this.”

“At one point they say they will do the same to us in Sweden as they did in the Middle East. A genocide has been carried out in the Middle East against Christians. We have fled these groupings to Sweden, but they have caught up with us here”, the spokesperson said.

The Syriac National Federation has repeatedly turned to the authorities, but found no understanding, except among the Christian Democrats.

According to Samhällsnytt, there is a widespread feeling of resignation among Syriacs in Sweden amid concerns over the future of the rule of law and the state’s ability to protect people and prosecute crimes.

“We expect some fucking civil war between different groups unless someone puts their foot down. The people who did terrible acts in the Middle East, they are here now… and no one seems to care”, the spokesperson concluded.

Syriac churches in Sweden have witnessed a series of bomb and arson attacks, such as the Saint Afrem church in Södertälje and the Saint Mary church in Norrköping.

The incidents have caused strong reactions in the Syriac circles. While some argued that the time was ripe to leave Sweden if the state is unable to protect all its citizens, others suggested to get “a police force of our own” in the comments.

WaPo headline linking anger at Sri Lanka terrorist attacks to ‘far right’ draws Twitter’s ire

CAP

The Washington Post is under fire for printing a story with a contentious headline, implying that anger over the recent spate of bombings in Sri Lanka is unique to the “far right.”

Titled “Christianity under attack? Sri Lanka church bombings stoke far-right anger in the West,” the piece drew outrage online far and wide for its recklessly phrased headline.

CAP

CAP

In its story, the Post cites right-wing leaders and activists across the US and Europe – such as Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Rally party – who view the bombings in Sri Lanka as part of a greater attack on Christianity.

While the Post does acknowledge that “Christian minorities are targeted around the world,” some took the piece itself to be a religious slight.

“If you [need] any further proof that the Washington Post is anti-Christian, check out this asinine headline,” one user said on Twitter.

BBC News On Sri Lanka Attack: ‘Muslims Left Nervous And Afraid’

By Chris Menahan

Won’t somebody think of the Muslims?

From BBC News:

Muslims left nervous and afraid

The BBC’s Anbarasan Ethirajan writes from the capital, Colombo:

Sri Lankans are yet to come to terms with this wave of unprecedented bomb attacks.

It is believed some Muslim youths were radicalised after clashes between the majority Sinhala Buddhists and Muslims last year in the central district of Kandy.

There have been videos on social media showing hardline Islamists and Sinhala hardliners promoting hatred after that violence.

But very few expected such massive attacks a year later. And why were Christians targeted? They are also a minority in Sri Lanka.

It’s an eternal mystery, folks.

The country experienced suicide attacks by Tamil Tiger rebels during the civil war that ended in 2009.

But the ruthlessness with which the latest attacks were carried out show that the country’s task this time will be challenging.

It is a different kind of battle. In the meantime, Sri Lankan Muslims are left nervous and afraid.

‘They are Christians’: Obama & Clinton lambasted for calling bombed Sri Lankans ‘Easter worshipers’

Screen Shot 2019-04-22 at 11.15.53 AM.png

Some people believe prominent Democrats deliberately avoided using the word “Christian” when condemning bombings of churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday as part of a policy to undermine Christian faith in the US.

The eight bomb attacks in Sri Lanka, which killed almost 300 people on Easter Sunday, sparked worldwide condemnation. But the way some US politicians expressed their condolences sparked a minor outcry among conservative Americans. Former President Barack Obama and the former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, were blasted for using the term “Easter worshipers” instead of “Christians” when referring to the victims of the attacks.

Three Sri Lankan Christian churches were targeted by the perpetrators, implying that the Christian minority was in the crosshairs. Some commentators in the US said Obama and Clinton were in the wrong when they failed to name the religion.

Particular ire was sparked by the fact that both US politicians didn’t hesitate to use the word “Muslim” when expressing condolences to the victims of last month’s massacre at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Notably, Obama and Clinton were not the only US figures, who used the term in remarks about the bloodshed in Sri Lanka. So did Adam Schiff, the Democrat chair of the House Intelligence Committee.

And the same goes for US Attorney Trent Shores.

The criticism is based on the perception that the Democratic Party is bent on downplaying America’s Christian roots for the sake of sensibilities of people adhering to other religions. The sentiment is probably best reflected in Fox News’ coverage of the supposed “war on Christmas” in the US.

In this particular case, however, the notion may be misplaced, one commenter pointed out. Christian churches are not exclusively Christian places of worship there, quite the contrary.

Screen Shot 2019-04-22 at 11.22.33 AM

In Sri Lanka, Christianity plays a unique role of serving as a bridge between people by welcoming both the Sinhalese and Tamil ethnic groups. Considering that Tamil separatism was behind a bloody 25-year-long civil war on the South Asian island, which ended just a decade ago, one can understand why this role is highly appreciated.
