Irans discrimination against Christians and Bahais

Irans hardline Islamic government faces a growing divide between the regime and its people amidst poor human rights disengagement and religious freedom violations reports International Christian Concern

Public distrust in the regime has greatly increased over the past 40 years The freedoms of Christian and Bahai children are routinely restricted

Such is the case with Lydia who was adopted by two Christian parents Yet she was removed from their care because she is considered Muslim by the state

School-age children also experience persecution in their education where they are segregated in classrooms by faith Beyond Shia Islam intolerance to other faiths is incorporated into all aspects of study For example starting at the age of seven all girls must wear a hijab or head covering when in public regardless of their faith

Open Doors lists Iran as the eighth worst nation in the world for the persecution of Christians

The Apostle Paul put persecution into perspective He wrote That is why for Christs sake I delight in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions in difficulties For when I am weak then I am strong 2 Corinthians 1210

Canadian pastor arrested again over COVID rules

Pastor Artur Pawlowski of the Canadian Street Church was arrested on the tarmac at the Calgary International Airport on September 27th following a speaking tour in the US promoting freedom from COVID-19 restrictions according to GodReportscom

At his sentencing hearing Pastor Pawlowski remained defiant Canada has fallen Sure you can lock us up and throw the key away but our political imprisonment will shout even louder about the hypocrisy

The pastor who grew up in Poland when it was under Soviet domination gained attention in April when he kicked health officials and law enforcement officers out of his church when they attempted to enforce mask mandates on Easter Sunday

PAWLOWSKI Growing up under a Communist dictatorship thats a disaster Thats hell on earth And I see it already in our western democracies So the only way I know how to fight them is -- 1981 that I witnessed millions of Poles taking to the streets and saying to them No more Get out of our country Get out Stop Millions of Poles took it to the streets during Solidarity Lech Walesa and they won their freedoms

Right now if you want your freedom back we should take to the streets and say No more lockdowns no more restrictions We will not put up with this anymore We are fighting back

He labeled government authorities as Nazi psychopaths and sick evil people who were intimidating people in a church during the Passover captured on video and reported on by Fox News guest host Mark Steyn

Matt Walsh calls VA school board members child abusers

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh confronted the Loudoun County Virginia school board meeting on Tuesday night reports FaithWirecom

Walshs remarks centered on a measure the school board approved in August requiring all teachers and staff members to refer to children using their preferred pronouns They also approved a policy to permit students to choose to occupy the locker rooms restrooms and sports teams primarily populated by the opposite sex

WALSH I would thank you all for allowing me to speak to you tonight but you tried not to allow it yet here I am now You only give us 60 seconds so let me get to the point You are all child abusers You prey upon impressionable children and indoctrinate them into your insane ideological cult a cult which holds many fanatical views But none so deranged as the idea that boys are girls and girls are boys

By imposing this vile nonsense on students to the point even of forcing young girls to share locker rooms with boys you deprive these kids of safety and privacy and something more fundamental too which is truth If education is not grounded in truth then it is worthless Worse it is poison

You are poison You are predators I can see why you tried to stop us from speaking You know that your ideas are indefensible You silence the opposing side because you have no argument You can only hide under your beds like pathetic little gutless cowards hoping we shut up and go away But we wont I promise you that

Chinese Communists rename Moses on the Plain movie

A Chinese movie originally called Moses on the Plain was abruptly changed to Fire on the Plain reports International Christian Concern

On September 20 when director Zhang Ji appeared on the red carpet of the Beijing International Film Festivals opening ceremony he said In this movie we use a lot of fire as an element I hope it can bring everyone brightness and strength

According to Radio Free Asia Father Francis Liu from Chinese Christian Fellowship of Righteousness believes that the real motive behind the name change is due to Moses being a Biblical character Beijing is seeking to remove all Christian-related terms from the public sphere

The Chinese Communists are even more disturbed by the name of Jesus The description found in Acts 418 could just as well describe their hostility to the church today Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus

DeSantis vs Biden on monoclonal antibody treatment availability

Monoclonal antibody treatments like Regeneron have proven to be highly effective in treating COVID patients They provide relief within 24 hours reduce the severity of the symptoms and keep them out of the hospital

Thats why Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was thrilled to hear that they would be receiving a 50 increase in shipments from the federal government

DeSANTIS We were excited a few weeks ago when President Biden said that the federal governments going to be increasing the shipments of monoclonal antibodies to the States by 50 because we had been using it to great success This is a treatable illness

Despite the fact that Florida was successfully treating 45000 COVID patients per week with monoclonal antibodies the Biden administration dramatically cut them by more than 50 to just 18000 doses

DeSANTIS Instead of increasing by 50 Bidens Health amp Human Services seized control of the Regeneron nationwide decided that it would dictate how many doses would be available statewide not just for state sites but including the hospitals And so they had a dramatic reduction in the amount of Regeneron So statewide in Florida where we had 45000 doses a week just a few weeks ago Were now less than 18000 doses of Regeneron

Governor DeSantis voiced his anger with President Bidens immoral decision

DeSANTIS Cutting the medication to Florida and other states is wrong Its not consistent with the promise that was made just a couple weeks ago and we are going to continue to fight against that

To his credit DeSantis announced on September 23rd that he had secured thousands of monoclonal antibody treatments for Floridians with COVID-19 from a UK-based company reports The Epoch Times

DeSANTIS Were not just sitting on our rump Were making things happen So the state of Florida is been able to acquire an additional 3000 doses of the monoclonal antibody Sotrovimab which is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline So were going to be able to use Sotrovimab to bridge some of the gaps that are going to be developing as a result of the Biden administration dramatically cutting medications to the state of Florida

The remorse of Biden voters

A new poll revealed that Biden voters have significant buyers remorse Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedarddescribed it as a stunning turnaround

In a Rasmussen poll of 1000 likely voters conducted September 21st and 22nd they would now pick President Donald Trump over Joe Biden by a 51-41 margin if given a second chance at Election Day

Bedard explained Just 247 days since President Joe Biden took the keys to the Oval Office a majority of people appear to want him evicted and former President Donald Trump back And by a country mile

Key was the fact that independent voters overwhelmingly said they would go for Trump by 20 points And one-fifth of the Democrats would even now vote for Trump

The turnaround comes after Bidens COVID mandates his inflationary economic policies his abortion push his southern border crisis and his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan leaving behind hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghans who had helped the US there

Bedard noted that another recent poll by McLaughlin amp Associates revealed voters want Trumps leadership style back When asked about Trumps style voters said by 52-44 that it wasnt so bad

Senator Paul upset about Bidens Afghan policies

In a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing 10 days ago Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky confronted Secretary of State Antony Blinken over President Joe Bidens botched withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan He was upset with Biden for two reasons First Paul does not believe that Biden should have left behind 80 billion of military equipment which the Taliban can now use against us and our allies And second America should not give the Afghanistan government which is now controlled by the Taliban another dime much less the 10 billion we apparently promised

PAUL Why dont we subtract the 80 billion from the 10 billion youre going to give them Then theyre minus 70 billion still The fact that youre entertaining good behavior that theyll get more money I think is a big mistake and a nave notion that were going to somehow change this stone-age philosophy by giving them more of our money Weve sunk trillions of dollars over there This is our chance to have a peace dividend Lets quit sending good money after bad
