Westminster Abbey has been accused of "denial of the Lordship of Jesus Christ" after the prophet Muhammad was described as "the chosen one" in a prayer at a First World War service. The Abbey, which is a Royal Peculiar under the personal jurisdiction of the Queen and outside the Church of England's diocesan structures, included a Turkish prayer in the recent service of commemoration and thanksgiving marking the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign. The Archbishop Cranmer noted that God was thanked in the Abbey, and referred to as Allah, and there was no problem with that because Allah is simply Arabic for 'The God'. "We may quibble over conflicting doctrines and cavil over contradictory revelations, but if St Paul can address a meeting of the Areopagus and exhort the incipient virtue in the ignorance of Athenian religiosity, whether you call the Creator of the universe 'God', 'Jehovah', 'YHWH', 'I Am' or 'Allah...

Conservatives are furious over the Girl Scouts new policy to begin accepting boys who choose to dress as girls. The Blaze Reported: Titled, “The Meaning of ‘Serving All Girls,’” and written by Dr. Andrea Bastiani Archibald, who is identified as a “chief girl expert,” the blog post opens by explaining the Girl Scouts’ history of embracing and supporting girls since its founding in 1912. But it is the definition of “girl” that some are taking issue with, considering Bastiani’s comments about diversity and gender identity. “If a girl is recognized by her family, school and community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe,” the blog post reads. “Inclusion of transgender girls is handled at a council level on a case by case basis, with the welfare and best interests of all members as a top priority.” Bastiani continues, “As we face a complex and rapidly changing 21st cen...

This “angel of peace” last November praised the murderer of a rabbi, saying the killer would go to Paradise as a martyr. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, eh, Your Holiness? The Catholic Church has survived a lot of things over the last 2,000 years, and so I would never say it will not survive its current confusion of the aggressor with the victim and cowardice with civility. I would never say that it will not be able to overcome its stupid and self-defeating infatuation with “dialogue” — despite the fact that this “dialogue” has had absolutely zero positive effect in easing the Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide. I would never say it will not be able to overcome its unconscionable aiding and abetting of the genocidal “Palestinian” jihad against Israel. Far be it from me to say that the Church’s willful ignorance and denial about the teachings of the Qur’an and Islam in general are going to result in the deaths of millions of Catholics — deaths that could have ...

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has released a call to arms which asks Muslims everywhere to physically join ISIS in the area it now controls or simply take up the struggle against unbelievers wherever they are. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi The title of the message “March Forth Whether Heavy or Light” comes from a verse in the Koran which calls on believers to “strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.” In Baghdadi’s view that striving is ISIS’s war against unbelievers. “O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war,” al-Baghdadi says, according to an English language transcript of the speech promoted by ISIS-affiliated social media accounts. The transcript, which was posted online at Downrange, portrays Islam’s Muhammad as a warrior: Where are you in relation to your Prophet (peace be upon him), whom you claim to emulate, and who spent his whole life (peace be upon him) as a mujāhid for the cause of Allah, fig...

JERUSALEM — The Vatican announced Wednesday that it would soon sign a treaty that includes recognition of the “state of Palestine,” lending significant symbolic weight to an intensifying Palestinian push for international support for sovereignty that bypasses the paralyzed negotiations with Israel. Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2014 with Presidents Shimon Peres of Israel, left, and Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian leaders celebrated the Holy See’s endorsement as particularly important, given the international stature of Pope Francis. For Israelis, it was an emotional blow, since Francis has deep relationships with Jews dating back decades, and Christians are critical backers of their enterprise. “The Vatican is not just a state. The Vatican represents hundreds of millions of Christians worldwide, including Palestinians, and has vast moral significance,” said Husam Zomlot, a senior Palestinian foreign-affairs official. Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it was...

DENMARK is on track to become the world’s first cashless nation, with its government pushing to free some stores, restaurants and petrol stations from accepting cash payments. The proposal to scrap cash transactions is part of a package of cost-saving measures being introduced ahead of the Danish election in September, the Independent reports. It is understood the government is hoping to get rid of the option to pay by cash by as early as 2016. Nearly a third of all Danish citizen prefer to use Danske Bank’s official app, MobilePay, to pay for services and transactions, and it is expected that the proposal will be met with little opposition.

The Danish Chamber of Commerce (Dansk Erhverv) also supported the move, saying it was time shops were given the option of going cash-free. “Society has changed so ...

Only with a Muslim in the White House could a horse named “American Pharaoh” win the Kentucky Derby, reasons end times broadcaster Rick Wiles. Self-proclaimed prophet Mena Lee Grebin joined Rick Wiles on his “Trunews” program yesterday to discuss various angelic visitations and divinely inspired visions she has experienced that have warned her of an imminent economic collapse and the coming of the Last Days. Grebin told Wiles that President Obama “brought a curse on us” and doomed America with what she said are anti-Israel policies, noting that while she doesn’t think Obama is the Antichrist, he is “our Antichrist.” Wiles agreed that Obama is bringing America down and is a forerunner of the Antichrist. As proof, he cited the results of the Kentucky Derby: “He has a spirit of Antichrist operating in him, he is America’s pharaoh. Interestingly, the horse American Pharaoh won the horse race Saturday, another little sign to America, there’s been many of them over the years since Obama...
