This is the same church that the Egyptian security force attacked in a military style offensive on 24 November resulting in the murder of four Copts by the Egyptian security force. A licence to Kill and murder Copts.The Giza Governorate in their pathetic discriminatory fashion did not raise an eye brow when the Islamists converted “overnight” a house facing the church into a mosque. If you are wondering, no the local governor did not send an army to treat the Islamists the same way they treated the Christians of Egypt. This new Mosque, proves beyond any doubt that the church was attacked because islamic neighbours do NOT want a church in that area, despite there been 1 million Copts with no place of worship.The new so-called “Ekhlass” mosque was converted secretly Thursday evening when a cloth sign was hastily hung outside a 4 story house. It was then used on Friday morning, when over 3000 Muslims prayed there, despite the presence of a large mosque on the other side of the bridge, not far from the new mosque. Apparently the owner of the house, which is still under construction, donated it.<br />For the rest see www.faithfreedom.org/.../islamic-suppression-and-humiliation-of-egypts- coptic-community-continues/Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-85729762467946635622010-12-08T09:18:33.891+11:002010-12-08T09:18:33.891+11:00Daphne, can you please post or send me the link to...Daphne, can you please post or send me the link to the article.<br /><br />I am a "follower" of Australians for Palestine.!!<br /><br />They are a despicable, hatefilled bunch of rabble.<br /><br />You may not be aware of this, but (drum roll please)<br /><br />Israel is behind the leaks from Wikileaks !!!!<br /><br />There's a bit of infighting at the moment between the Unions and AFP, BrisbaneShirl in Oznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-31614975211366598142010-12-08T09:12:19.098+11:002010-12-08T09:12:19.098+11:00Ian....

Anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment a...New from J-Wire:<br />Anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions activists in Australia have begun an email campaign targeting union leaders and trade union supporters of Palestine.<br />Hundreds of unsolicited emails were sent out last week across Australia to union in-boxes introducing their new group, called Australian Unionists Supporting Palestine (AUSPalestine).<br />The emails say they want the ACTU and Australian unions to promote ‘pro-Palestinian policies’, and they want to see an end to what they call ‘ partisan one-sided support for Israel.’<br />If that’s the case they are probably not going to be happy with the result of elections for the ACTU this week.<br />Almost at the same time that AUSPalestine has set out to increase their influence in Australian unions, a new pro-Israel ACTU Assistant Secretary, Michael Borowick, has just been elected.<br />Borowick joined the top elected leadership of the Australian national trade union centre, at this week’s ACTU Executive meeting.<br />Earlier this year Michael Borowick – formerly the Assistant Secretary of the Victorian Branch of the Australian Workers’ Union - organised and led a tour by eight Australian unionists to Israel and Palestine.<br />The Australian delegation was part of a British Trade Union Friends of Israel (TUFI) organised tour, and then stayed on for a few extra days.<br />Borowick is a well-known long time Melbourne pro-Israel activist, a modern orthodox Jew, who began life as a political activist during his student days as part of the Australian Union of Jewish Students.<br />Pro-Palestine union activists have no time for Israeli workers<br />The AUSPalestine website says it advocates for Palestinian workers – but makes no mention on its website of Israeli workers, and their workplace rights.<br />Nor does the AUSPalestine website statement of principles seem to envisage support for an end to the Middle East crisis through a peace outcome involving a two-state solution.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-21591935196185366722010-12-07T20:31:42.772+11:002010-12-07T20:31:42.772+11:00Thanks, Malgorzata - it's a look at Jewish anx...Thanks, Malgorzata - it's a look at Jewish anxieties about continuity and the future by a Muslim writer, Qanta Ahmed - Adventures of an Accidental Zionist: Encounters with the Anxiety of Jewish Extinction<br />Thanks for pointing it out - it's well worth reading.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-72496379662927455422010-12-07T20:11:59.990+11:002010-12-07T20:11:59.990+11:00I am sorry to post a comment which has nothing to ...I am sorry to post a comment which has nothing to do with your text.

Less obvious...'Obviously, Islam is a religion. Less obvious, but more important is that, unlike Christianity, Islam is a complete religion governing every aspect of the believer's life, including law.'<br /><br />I take it that Peter Faris QDC is a practising Muslim. Certainly no educated and believing Christian or objective historian or lawyer could have written such abject idiocy.<br /><br />It was John Wesley who said 'The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion'. No reasonable theologian would differ. The link between Love of God and love of one's brother is constant. The answer to Cain's question, 'Am I my brother's keeper?' is prety much 'Yes', bearing in mind that a keeper is not a jailer. Christianity governs law and in those Western countries where that has ceased to be the case freedom begins to perish. The admirable Melanie Phillips has written much that would support this case.<br /><br />The difference is that Christianity is not, primarily, a religion of law. It seeks relationship. Islam states that the end of wisdom is to fear Allah. The Tenakh states that the fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom. What then is the end of wisdom in the Judeo-Christian tradition? Surely it is to love YHWH? Thus God's law works in a different way to Shariah rules. <br /><br />Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.<br /><br />Isaiah 5:13-15 "Therefore my people go into exile for want of knowledge; their honored men are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst. Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure, and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude go down, her throng and he who exults in her. Man is bowed down, and men are brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humbled.Ian Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-49607580629697657592010-12-07T09:26:39.898+11:002010-12-07T09:26:39.898+11:00AMEN ......to that Daphne.
