Unlikely Allies - Christians & Muslims Fight Back Against Lgbt Indoctrination

The Daily Mail has just released a report detailing how the LGBT agenda will be implemented in schools right across the United Kingdom, from the age of five onwards. No subject is left untouched, and the indoctrination will be comprehensive:

An LGBT campaign group has issued guidance to primary schools stating that children should be taught about lesbian, gay and transgender issues in every subject from the age of five. Stonewall issued the guidance to coincide with the launch of new relationships and sex education (RSE) lessons that begin next September.

Parents are allowed to remove their children from sex lessons but ones covering relationships are compulsory. Stonewall has suggested that teachers use the LGBT rainbow flag to help children understand the meaning of colours. The group adds that teaching about LGBT people should be 'embedded' throughout school timetables.

Notice here that LGBT organizations across the West--not just in the UK, but in Canada and the United States as well--are attempting to dodge the question of parental rights in education by ensuring that their ideology will be taught at some point in nearly every subject. That way, children will be inculcated with their values even if vigilant parents pull them out of the explicit LGBT lessons. More:

The campaign group suggested maths questions such as: 'How many biscuits are left at Fatima and Shanika's wedding?' One example lesson plan suggests that pupils aged seven and eight study and Aids memorial quilt in design and technology lessons. The guidance, sponsored by publisher Pearson and the Government Equalities Office from a £1million grant given to LGBT organisations, also suggests that students in religious education lessons be taught about naming ceremonies for those who change gender.

This lesson plan is also a good example of the LGBT campaign's devious methods: Notice here that the lesbian couple referred to are named Fatima and Shanika, both of which are traditional Muslim girls' names. 

The reason for this is simple: British Muslims have been wreaking havoc on the plans of LGBT organizations by mounting effective and vociferous pushback to sex ed programming in UK schools, and in several instances have managed to get these lessons pulled through sustained protest. 

At least five schools have pulled this programming so far due to the protests of Muslim parents, and it appears that those creating the LGBT lessons have taken special care to craft curriculum that will sound familiar to Muslim children, all the while subverting the values their parents attempt to inculcate at home.

Chief executive of Christian Concern, Andrea Williams, told the Times that Stonewall's inclusive guidance was disguising a 'manipulative agenda aimed brazenly at our youngest and most impressionable'. She added: 'This curriculum is deeply subversive. It should be scrapped.'...Stonewall said: 'Our new guide, Creating an LGBT-Inclusive Primary Curriculum, is a free voluntary resource for primary school teachers who want to make their classrooms inclusive and accepting of all young people.'

Inclusive and accepting of everyone, of course, except for those who hold to the traditional understanding of sexuality and marriage. The point of this curriculum, of course, is to ensure that children of Christian and Muslim parents emerge from the public school system transformed into good secular progressives by their education. 

Christians, of course, are increasingly despised in the United Kingdom. Muslim parents, however, are throwing a monkey wrench into everything for the LGBT activists, because the primary bearers of the rainbow banner are also enthusiastic campaigners against Islamophobia.

So what happens when a rapidly growing Muslim minority faces off with the secular progressive establishment over the same issues of sexuality that caused the Christians to be so despised? It will be very, very interesting to see how this unfolds over the next few years.

Nikki Haley Condemns UN for Corruption, Hypocrisy on Israel

In a scathing speech last week about corruption in the United Nations, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley accused Canada of making a "deal with the devil" and called again for the removal of Venezuela from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

"If we are serious about being advocates for human rights, Venezuela's membership on the Human Rights Council cannot stand," Haley said on Thursday night at the inaugural gala of the UN Watch NGO in New York City, where she received the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for defending truth, fairness and human rights. "At stake is the ability of the Venezuelan people to reclaim their freedom and human dignity. The revolutionary notion that we are all children of God and entitled to his gifts is embedded in the founding purpose of the United Nations. 

It is at the heart of the American idea. As long as I have a voice, I will never stop being the proud ambassador of this cause."

In October, Venezuela won a seat on the U.N.'s Human Rights Council with 105 votes, despite its very public and recorded human-rights abuses. A total of 14 U.N. members were elected to the 47-member council for three-year terms starting in January, including the human rights-violating countries Cuba, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Sudan, China, Egypt, Qatar, Somalia and Pakistan.

Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, wrote in an op-ed last month in The Miami Herald that "Venezuela is the last country that should sit on a council that's supposed to protect human rights." On Twitter, she denounced Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's regime as being "one of the world's worst human-rights abusers."

"Many encouraged us to remain on the council because the United States, they said, provided the last shred of credibility the Human Rights Council had," she noted in her Dec. 5 speech. "And that was precisely why we decided to leave. The United States should not lend any credibility to this cesspool of political hypocrisy and corruption."

"The United Nations' greatest failure when measured by the yardstick of its own charter is the Human Rights Council," she added.

She said the international body is "allowing the world's worst actors to call the shots on human rights."

UN Watch launched a global campaign in October to remove Maduro from the Human Rights Council, and Haley urged the public to support the campaign and efforts by its chairman, Ambassador Diego Arria, former chairman of the U.N. Security Council and former Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations. 

Speaking to JNS, Arria praised Haley for supporting the freedom and human rights of Venezuelan people "in such a deciding and committed way" and for backing efforts to remove Venezuela from the UNHRC.

He has become "a great admirer" of Haley's, he said. "I think she is really the most extraordinary American ambassador in the U.N. ever. I hope we will see more of her. She could be president of the United States, I am absolutely convinced."

Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, also said his NGO is "deeply grateful" for Haley's support for the campaign. He criticized the General Assembly for voting Venezuela in, calling it "one of the worst regimes in the world," where 4 million people have been forced to flee oppression, hunger and poverty caused by the "failed policies" of the former Hugo Chávez and current Maduro regimes.

"It's an oppressive government, and it's the last government that should ever have ever been elected to any human-rights body, let alone to the world's highest human-rights body," he told JNS.

'A culture of bullying'

Haley also charged the United Nations for exhibiting a "culture of hypocrisy, entitlement and unaccountability," as well as a "culture of bullying" that has causes it to "time and again" fail to "live up to its charter."

She said the international body is "allowing the world's worst actors to call the shots on human rights."

"Instead of protecting human rights, the Human Rights Council has long protected the tyrants, dictators and strong men who abuse her," she told the audience last week. "It's honestly difficult to say which was worse--the tolerance we encountered for human-rights violators in the council or the hypocrisy of the countries that should have known better."

Haley branded the U.N. Security Council's regular meeting on the Middle East a "monthly Israel-bashing session" and described the United Nations as a "club" where "there's a constant pressure to abide by the rules; to conform to the culture."

And that culture, she stressed, "corrupts everyone it touches."

"I speak from experience when I say the United Nations presents many opportunities to strike a deal with the devil."

Almost all of the pro-Israel countries in the Human Rights Council agreed that reform was needed, but refused to take a stand in public and gave in to the corruption of the international body, reported Haley. She accused Canada of being an example of "this cultural corruption playing out in real time" by "trading its integrity" for a seat on the U.N. Security Council when it recently voted in favor of an anti-Israel General Assembly resolution co-sponsored by North Korea.

"This is a resolution that Canadian governments for years have voted against," said Haley. "I speak from experience when I say the United Nations presents many opportunities to strike a deal with the devil."

The anti-Israel resolution will be voted on one final time on Dec. 18, Neuer told JNS; a petition by UN Watch that calls on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to reverse his vote against Israel has more than 30,000 signatories.

"Canada has, for the past at least 15 years, only moved in the direction of opposing these resolutions, so the shift by the Trudeau government is quite significant, and it's clear that they are motivated by an attempt to curry favor for their Security Council candidacy," said Neuer. "It seems that they want to go along to get along, and that's wrong. We see too much of that at the U.N.--a failure of principal and instead people doing very questionable trades, backroom deals, to win U.N. positions."

"The fact that Canada voted for a resolution ... which is entirely one-sided; which criticizes Israel repeatedly, makes no mention of Hamas, Islamic Jihad; and that they would do so days after hundreds of rockets are fired at Tel Aviv, is absolutely offensive. We hope that Prime Minister Trudeau will change his position and vote 'no.' "

Muslim Community Patrol: Sharia Law Coming to Community Near You

"Bullying" and "gangster-like" tactics have been reported by locals in New York areas where the Muslim Community Patrol & Services operates.

These tactics are beginning to create a backlash against the self-described "civilian patrol organization" among local residents.

The Muslim patrol gained international attention in the fall of 2018 after several of its patrol cars -- which look like New York Police Department (NYPD) cars -were spotted in Brooklyn and Staten Island.

A little digging shows that the Muslim Community Patrol has an underlying agenda: to enforce Islamic sharia law first in the Muslim community and then in American community at large.

The patrol originally said its purpose was to serve as a liaison between Muslims and the NYPD.  But after two consecutive mosque shootings in New Zealand last March, where a gunman live-streamed his murder of 51 Muslims on Facebook, the patrol publicly altered its purpose.

It now describes itself as a law enforcement organization, claiming its goal is to "protect members of the local community from escalating quality-of-life nuisance crimes."

It's precisely that "law enforcement" definition that is now landing the Muslim patrol into hot water with New York City residents, particularly those living in the Brooklyn area of Bedford-Stuyvesant.

"They are bullying people and getting out of their patrol cars looking like gangsters," said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. "The people in Bed-Stuy don't want them there."

The Muslim patrol originally had a force of three patrol cars when it first formed in November 2018, but it now has seven cars on the streets of New York with the intention of purchasing 23 more cars in the near future.

The Muslim patrol's cars are nearly identical to NYPD patrol cars. Both use Ford Taurus' and have similar decal schemes, colors and emblems.  See image below:

Though the Muslim patrol cars do not have lights on their hoods, they do have emergency flashing lights in the front and back windshields.

"A lot of people can't tell them apart," said the resident.  "In fact, most people think they are NYPD detective cars, especially if they are driving behind you."

Significantly, some Muslim patrol "officers" have been driving their patrol cars with their emergency lights in continuous flash mode, even when not responding to an emergency.

"They never turn them off and people are seeing these lights and thinking [they are] NYPD," the resident said.

The cars also have sirens, which another neighborhood resident says is being used to intimidate people.

"They turn on their sirens when they see non-Muslims park next to a mosque during Friday prayer services," said another resident.

"They get out of their cars and start humiliating these people, telling them they have to move their cars and that they can't park next to a mosque because they're not a Muslim, even though it's completely legal for them to park there," he explained.

In addition, Muslim patrol officers are patrolling sidewalks near mosques and stripping people of their open containers of alcohol.  Though open containers of alcohol are a city violation, an NYPD officer typically resolves it peacefully.

"In some cases, these Muslim patrol officers are kicking the beer out of their hands or yanking it from them and pouring it out on the streets," the second resident said.  "These guys aren't police officers and they don't have the right to take someone else's property and destroy it, even if a person is committing an offense."

"They talk to these people like the ARE the police," he added.  "And a lot of people in the Bed-Stuy community are getting fed up with it.  Some, including the Muslims in the community, are demanding a meeting with the district attorney."

Both residents who spoke up, however, agreed that the NYPD still favors the "services" provided by  Muslim patrol.

"The local captain, he don't care if they're enforcing sharia law.  The police see them as helping them with their jobs."

GOD'S LOVE WAS NOT DAUNTED BY OUR SIN. (Ephesians 2:5)

Morning Meditation

Categories: Meditation;Inspirational;Book Study

In the day that we were born, we were cast out in the open field, dead in trespasses and sins, and to the abhorring of our person. But He loved us even then. His great love was not diverted by the spectacle of our loathsomeness. He knew what we were, and what we should be, and how much pain and sorrow we should cost Him; but He loved us still. He foresaw our failures and backslidings, and lapses into the darkness of shadow; but none of these things availed to quench his love. So rich was He in mercy that He could afford to be prodigal of his wealth.

It is a great comfort to know that God loved us when there was nothing to attract his love; because He will not be surprised by anything He discovers in us, and He will not turn from us at those manifestations of evil which sometimes make us lose heart. He knew the worst from the first. He did not love us because we were fair, but to make us so. We cannot understand it; but since He began He will not fail nor be discouraged until He has finished his work.
