Church leaders need to stop apologizing and step up in support of Biblical Christianity. It’s disappointing to watch key leaders betray theology, in a pacifistic appeal to the Left, for fear of being excluded by them from the table of discussion. Appeasement never works. It didn’t work against the onslaught of fascism in the 1930s or during the Cold War, it won’t work now. As Winston Churchill once said, ‘it would be wrong not to lay the lessons of the past before the future; noting that appeasement encouraged the aggression of the Dictators and emboldened their power amongst their own…

Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Cairo, Vienna, St Petersberg, Venice, Rio de Janeiro. So many great cities. So many culturally identifiable features and attractions. That’s what makes the world fascinating, inspiring people to travel and experience the sights, sounds and atmosphere in each of these unique places. Australia, a vast land of desert, sun and surf. A climate as varied as the many different backgrounds of people now residing in her cities. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are quite the melting pots of cultures. A good thing, I hear many say. They bring a variety of foods, clothing and perspectives that broaden…

Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman who spent years on death row after being accused of blasphemy, has safely arrived in Canada. Bibi, a mother of five, was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to hang after a neighbour accused her of insulting Muhammad during an argument in 2009. The disagreement came as Bibi and her neighbours were gathering fruit. The neighbours accused Bibi of using a cup and rendering it “unclean” according to their Islamic faith. After telling Bibi that she should convert to Islam, the women claim Bibi responded by making an offensive remark about Muhammad. According to reports,…

Israel Folau isn’t alone in his struggle against the Leftist establishment and its newspeak. British Philosopher and Leftist turned conservative, Sir Roger Scruton lost his U.K Government role as Housing Adviser, after criticizing George Soros and asserting that Islamophobia was an attempt to control conversation by making any and all criticism of Islam or Muslims a social pathology. (The same is true with all these absurd, politicized -phobias.) There have also been calls for Scruton’s knighthood to be revoked. As Scruton and Muslim writer, Ismail Royer points out. [In the minds of the Muslim Brotherhood it’s] impossible for anyone to…

In her last round of public appearances, Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) blamed America for the suffering of Venezuelans, and managed to alienate the majority of Americans with the provocative statement, “this is not going to be the country of the xenophobics. This is not going to be the country of white people.” As Omar failed to clarify who she meant by the term “white people”, one can only presume that Omar was either loosely referring to those of Caucasian ethnicity, or more broadly, anyone who supports President Donald Trump. Since those on the far-Left consider anyone not living within…

A former rugby league player has suggested that Christians, like Israel Folau, who express a biblical view of sexuality “can and do” push kids to commit suicide. Ian Roberts, an openly gay former rugby league player, appeared as a guest panelist on Channel Nine’s Sports Sunday, where he condemned Folau for posting a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9 on his personal Instagram account. “I do feel sorry for Israel, but there are consequences for your actions and reactions, you know,” Roberts said. “And I don’t say this lightly, what I’m about to say, the language I use is hard and it’s for…

Footage uploaded to social media last month reportedly shows a group of children from a Pennsylvania Islamic Centre singing and citing poetry praising the “martyrs” who sacrificed their lives for Palestine. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the video, depicting the centre’s “Ummah Day” celebrations, was originally shared on Facebook by the Muslim American Society in Philadelphia. “Glorious steeds call us and lead us [to] Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the translation reads. “The blood of martyrs protects us… Take us, oh ships… until we reach our shores and crush the treacherous ones… Flow, oh rivers of martyrs!” “We will defend…

The senate ballot paper can be daunting. This year, in SA, there are forty-two candidates, most of whose names you have never heard of before. Six of them will end up sitting in the Senate, deciding Australian Legislation for the next six years. That’s an important job, so we should look closely and think about who we will vote for. This article is, hopefully, a good starting point to work out how you will vote if you happen to be a South Australian. I’m going to introduce all the parties/candidates and the basic propositions that they represent. I’ve grouped them…

This week, Canadian, M.P. and Conservative, Candice Bergen (not to be confused with the American actress of the same name), took the opportunity to make a public statement on behalf of Christians. In direct contrast to the vicious ambiguity employed by leading Democrats in the United States, who referred to the victims of the Easter Sunday suicide bombings in Sri Lanka, as “Easter Worshippers”, Bergen spoke plainly. The Canadian Conservative M.P. acknowledged that the perpetrators of the attacks were Islamic extremists who had deliberately targeted the Christian community in Sri Lanka. Addressing the Canadian parliament, Bergen urged the West to…

A Canberra-based journalist has been arrested and charged after threatening to carry out beheadings of Christians in reprisal for the Christchurch massacre. James Michael Waugh, 28, was arrested at his home in Canberra’s south earlier this month following a tip-off to the National Security Hotline. The former Queanbeyan Age journalist was charged with threatening to act with intent to cause public harm, using a carriage service to menace others and possessing a weapon to be used to kill,  ABC News reported. According to prosecutor Rae-ann Khazam, Waugh spoke to a doctor while in custody and told them of his intention…

A man dressed in a burqa has been detained by members of the public in Wattala, Sri Lanka, just days after hundreds of people were murdered by Islamic terrorists. Photographs uploaded to social media suggests the man was initially confronted by an individual who saw through the guise until a crowd quickly gathered. It’s unclear what the man’s motives were, but some reports suggest the man may have been a thief using the burqa simply to hide his identity. The man was eventually handed over to the police. On Sunday, President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena, announced a ban on…

While Western nations are quick to don Islamic headdress, the President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena, announced on Sunday a ban on face-coverings in public places. “Any form of face cover that will hinder the identification of a person is banned under emergency regulations,” the press statement said. The bill was promptly submitted through parliament via a private member’s motion and approved by President Sirisena following the Easter Sunday terrorist bombings which killed 250 people and injured another 500. Several Sri Lankan news outlets reported that the President “took this decision to further support the ongoing security and help the…

The family of one of the men responsible for the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka have claimed he was radicalised during his time in Australia. Samsul Hidaya, sister of Abdul Latheif Jameel Mohamed, one of nine suicide bombers responsible for the attacks which killed hundreds of Christians, told the Daily Mail, her brother changed after his five years of study in Australia. “He had a long beard and had lost his sense of humour. He became serious and withdrawn and would not even smile at anyone he didn’t know, let alone laugh,” she said. Hidaya went on to…

Katie Hopkins has warned the current state of Western Europe is a “glimpse into the future” of Western nations which pander to Islam and welcome mass third-world immigration. In the new documentary, Homelands, Hopkins looks at the Christian and Jewish communities that are being forced out of their homelands and asks the question, “Where is there a Homeland for Western Europeans?” “This is a glimpse into your future,” Hopkins wrote in a tweet directed to New Zealanders. “Do not become like us,” she warned. “Do not be hunted from the land you call home.” “In Western Europe, a silent exodus…

Former White House adviser, Oliver McGee, has shared footage on social media of former Vice President Joe Biden saying he wants “unrelenting immigration” to turn white America into an “absolute minority.” “WOW! Joe Biden caught on tape,” McGee said. “He doesn’t want the American people to see this. He wants unrelenting immigration until whites are America’s minority!” “Immigration is based on MERIT, NOT COLOR of one’s skin,” McGee added. The comments were made during a 2015 introductory three-day summit addressing violent extremism following a string of Islamic terror attacks throughout Western nations. “I’m proud of the American record on culture and…

There are good reasons for rejecting the diagnosis that the problem with religion is that it discriminates, and the proposed cure that it not be allowed to discriminate any longer. 1. The whole approach is putting Australian law on a radically different basis. Christianity teaches its followers to think in terms of right and wrong, but the Australian Human Rights Commission, naturally, thinks in terms of rights. In Christianity, it is a sin to bow down to idols, to murder, to commit adultery, to steal, to be covetous or proud, and so on. The basic law is summarised in the…

Leftists are awfully silent when it comes to Christian persecution. While they’re often quick to express concerns about the spread of “Islamophobia”, very few, if any, will ever mention “Christophobia”, despite the fact that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. When 290 Christians in Sri Lanka were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists, Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, among others, chose to refer to the victims as “Easter worshippers” rather than “Christians”. Other outspoken leftists decided to say nothing at all about the attacks. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted up to 14 times about the massacre of 50 Muslims in…

More than 200 people have been killed during Easter celebrations in Sri Lanka after a series of coordinated Islamic terrorist attacks were carried out targeting Christian worshipers. The attack has claimed four times as many lives as the recent New Zealand massacre, in which 50 Muslims were gunned down in a Christchurch mosque. Christians in Sri Lanka, similar to Muslims in New Zealand, are a minority. Christians make up just over 6% of the population in Sri Lanka, behind Buddhist, Hindus, and Muslims. In both attacks, a minority group was the target. In both attacks, the victims were targeted in…

At least 138 people are feared dead and almost 500 have been injured in six near-simultaneous explosions that rocked three churches and three hotels in Sri Lanka. The attackers appear to have targeted Easter Sunday services at St Anthony’s Church in Colombo, St Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, and another church in Batticaloa. The Shangri La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury hotels were also hit. At least nine foreign nationals are believed to be among the dead, hospital sources told reporters. Footage circulating on social media shows the roof blown off one of the churches, with the floor littered with debris and…

What do you get when you mix the post-modernism of an SJW with the teachings of Christianity? If you want to find out, then Richard Holloway’s recent book review How to read the Bible (Spectator, 30th March) is a good place to start. There are at least five things you will find there. The first is relativism. Early in the article Holloway outlines one of the Christian controversies about the Bible: the meaning of the very first Chapter, which is about creation. Three parties are described. Firstly, scholars who caution against believing that any of the episodes in the Bible…
