More of that "Religion of Peace" on display

The Story via AINA:

(AINA) — In mid-October Egyptian media published news of an altercation between Muslim and Christian students over a classroom seat at a school in Mallawi, Minya province. The altercation lead to the murder of a Christian student. The media portrayed the incident as non-sectarian. However, Copts Without Borders, a Coptic news website, refuted this version and was first to report that the Christian student was murdered because he was wearing a crucifix.

“We wanted to believe the official version,” said activist Mark Ebeid, “because the Coptic version was a catastrophe, as it would take persecution of Christians also to schools.” He blamed the church in Mallawi for keeping quiet about the incident.
Today the parents of the 17-year-old Christian student Ayman Nabil Labib, broke their silence, confirming that their son was murdered on October 16, in “cold blood because he refused to take off his crucifix as ordered by his Muslim teacher.” Nabil Labib, the father, said in a taped video interview with Copts United NGO, that his son had a cross tattooed on his wrist as per Coptic tradition, as well as another cross which he wore under his clothes.
Both parents confirmed that Ayman’s classmates, who were present during the assault and whom they met at the hospital and during the funeral, said that while Ayman was in the classroom he was told to cover up his tattooed wrist cross. He refused and defiantly got out the second cross which he wore under his shirt. “The teacher nearly chocked by son and some Muslim students joined in the beating,” said his mother.

According to Ayman’s father, eyewitnesses told him that his son was not beaten up in the school yard as per the official story, but in the classroom. “They beat my son so much in the classroom that he fled to the lavatory on the ground floor, but they followed him and continued their assault. When one of the supervisors took him to his room, Ayman was still breathing. The ambulance transported him from there dead, one hour later.”
Prosecution arrested and detained two Muslim students, Mostapha Essam and Walid Mostafa Sayed, pending investigations in the murder case.
The father said that everyone in Mallawi knew how the event took place, but not one of the students’ parents was prepared to let their children come forward and give a statement to the police. “They are afraid of the school administration, which has lots of ways to harass the students, as well as being afraid of the families of the two Muslim killers.”
“I insist that the Arabic teacher, the headmaster, and the supervisors should be charged as well as the two students who committed the crime,” said Nabil. “The Arabic language teacher incited the students to attack my son, the headmaster who would not go to the classroom to see what is going on there when alerted to the beatings, but rather said to be left alone and continued sipping his tea, and the supervisors who failed in their supervising duties.

Religion of peace? I think not.

On the video of Judge beating his daughter

Yes, I have watched the entire video and yes,I have something to say about it. I am ofcourse referring to the CNN storyof the Texas judge who beat his child with a belt for some very stupid reasons.

Firstly, let me say this, as a Conservative Christian; I cantell you with absolute authority that this was NOT, I repeat, NOTa form of Christian Discipline! Thenormal routine of Christian discipline is to explain to the child what he orshe has done wrong, pray with the child and then, if a parent decides to —-spank the child. What is in this video,which I will never embed here, because it makes me so angry to watch, is twoparents abusing a child for some very stupid and backward reasons. What I saw in that video, what I was actuallyable to watch —- quite literally made me shake with anger!

What is in that video is two angry parents, who obviouslysuffer from some sort of mental issues —beating, swearing at, and berating theirdaughter. Let me stress again, and Icannot put into words how much I wish to stress this; that this video is not avideo of normal Christian discipline! Itis a video of child abuse and if I were a Pastor of a Church and I even got aremote wind of a video of this nature; I would be on the phone with the localpolice department.

The reason why this video sends me into a rage is that thosewho are not Christian or at least not active in a Church believe that ALLChristians believe that discipline is to be carried out like this! Let me state emphatically, that under nocircumstances is this ever the case. These parents are punishing their child, while they are angry, they areswearing at the child, which is NOT, I repeat, NOTChristian discipline! This is outrageouscase of awful child abuse and I am very shocked that someone, namely thedaughter did not report it earlier. The Fatherof this child should be in a jail cell for child abuse!

Again, I will state it as plainly as I possibly can — Thisis not discipline — This is abuse! The man and woman who did this should becharge with first degree child abuse and put into a jail cell where theybelong!

Is there anymore proof needed that President Obama is NOT a Christian?

I mean, good grief; how much more plainer should he get about it?

From The Hill:

President Obama invoked God on Wednesday as he criticized Congress for voting on commemorative coins and a resolution reaffirming “In God We Trust” as the national motto in all public buildings, public schools and other government institutions.
“That’s not putting people back to work,” Obama said. “I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people to work.”
Obama called on Congress to approve his jobs package.
“There’s no excuse for 100 percent of Washington Republicans to say no,” Obama said. “That means Republicans in Washington are out of touch with Republican voters.”
Obama continued: “The American people are with me on this.”
The House on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a measure reaffirming “In God We Trust” as the national motto. The resolution was supported by all House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.). It attracted only nine “no” votes, eight from Democrats. The only Republican who opposed it was freshman Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.). Two Democrats, Reps. Keith Ellison (Minn.) and Mel Watt (N.C.), voted “present.”
Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.), the sponsor of the measure, said the resolution is necessary to remind Obama and other public officials who forget the motto, whether intentionally or not.
“Unfortunately, there are a number of public officials who forget what the national motto is, whether intentionally or unintentionally,” Forbes said Tuesday. “There are those who become confused as to whether or not it can still be placed on our buildings, whether it can be placed in our school classrooms.”

Anyone who speaks of the Almighty God in this manner, has zero business being in the White House. Remember this come the 2012 election.
