Fadi Kablawi, imam in Miami, says, ‘Oh Allah, bring annihilation upon the Zionists.’
By Abdul Masih – There are about 1,000 deep cover operatives inside America today ready to commit the next wave of terrorism, says a former US spy who worked with the Afghan intelligence before Biden switched cooperation to the Taliban. “These 1,000 or so are deep cover operatives who report to Sirajuddin Haqqani” acting interior minister of Afghanistan, says “Legend,” an Afghan American former US Army Intel NCO who fought the War on Terror during various deployments in the Middle East. Sirajuddin in 2010 wrote a training manual teaching radicals in the West to “blend in, shave, wear Western dress,…
By Abdul Masih – Belief in Jesus roared back this year, making a 12% jump from 2021, the Barna Group reported this week. “It may be the clearest indication of meaningful spiritual renewal in the United States,” Barna says. Barna found a “groundswell of commitment to Jesus over the last four years.” According to its survey data, 66 percent of all U.S. adults say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus that is still important in their life today – up 12% from 2021. “Young people and adults are moving closer to God, have more interest in God,” says…
By Abdul Masih — For centuries, the Bible seemed just plain erroneous. John said Jesus’ tomb was in a garden (John 19:19-20), but its historical setting was in a quarry. Rocky places are not known for good soil and flourishing olive trees. Atheists added it to the list of supposed contradictions and impossibilities in the Bible. Well, the rock just got dynamited. Archaeologists — poking around the digging for renovations at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem — have found evidence for olive trees and grape vines right in the quarry. “Now in the place where he was…
By Abdul Masih – It made no sense. Little Cameron just had an ear infection. Why would the doctor send him to the hospital in an ambulance? But Cameron’s mom insisted. God had told her that he had to go to the hospital. Paramedics couldn’t account for their trip. Never had an ear infection been cause for the ER. Nevertheless, doctors ran tests. There had been NO signs, but the blood test showed mom was right. “We’re so sorry,” doctors told her. “But 95% of your son’s blood cells are leukemia. He probably won’t make it through the night.” Cameron…
By Abdul Masih – An 11th-hour pitch to avoid getting hit with U.S. tariffs has failed, and the UK sees itself essentially sanctioned for the what the White House calls restrictions of free speech. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited President Trump in a last ditch effort for special trading exemptions but saw his appeals rebuffed. Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters the recent clampdowns on free speech in the UK was the reason. Vance hinted at UK’s attempt to punish Elon Musk’s tweets on X, which have shed light on the UK’s unprosecuted grooming gangs and the imprisonment of…
By Abdul Masih – Hungary is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court and receiving Israeli Prime Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu in a show of protest of the blatant politicalization of the institution that was intended to keep nations in line. “The ICC became a kangaroo court and the biggest purveyor of anti-semiteism in the world,” observed Yechiel Leiter, ambassador to the U.S., on CBN. “It’s imperative for all people bearing a good conscience to pull out of the ICC.” Hungary is being governed by conservatives who are trying to stem the tide of Islamic immigration that brings Middle Eastern radicalism to…
By Abdul Masih – One day, Abu Mohammad al-Julani was an al Qaeda-linked terrorist with a $10M bounty on his head from the U.S. State Department. The next day, it was dropped. How did he turn from terrorist to statesman in the good graces of the U.S.? He took over Syria, and he put on a suit. In one of the last acts of the Biden presidency, his status was changed. Ever believers in the essential goodness of the human heart, liberal politicians and diplomats said he had “evolved” beyond his origins with al Qaeda. They were crossing their fingers…
By Abdul Masih – Capitalizing on the pendulum swing towards faith in America, Disney just released its first animated Christian character in 20 years, but the series was modified from another trans acceptance story and leaves many questioning: Is this Christian? “Win or Lose” from the Pixar department features Laura who prays and pleases God on her dad’s baseball team. It originally was a story about Kai who comes out as trans to his/her dad, but Disney scrapped the LGBTQ agenda and turned it into a Christian plot. Neither Christians nor LGBTQ seem pleased with refurbished cartoon series – LGBTQ…
By Abdul Masih – Weiming Chen was doing what artists do, sculpting nudes, when he saw (he was in New Zealand) the Chinese tanks kill hundreds of democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989. “I should not care just about the beautiful woman’s body,” he thought to himself at the time. “I should care for human rights. If China no human rights, no freedom. You’re an artist, you’re free. I came to America and built this Liberty Sculpture Park.” On 36 acres on Interstate 15 near Barstow, CA, Liberty Sculpture Park features an ever-increasing number of sculptures that memorialize the…
