British Government: Christians Have No Right to Wear Visible Cross or Crucifix
CNS News
Britain’s Conservative-led government plans to argue in a European Court of Human Rights case that employers are entitled to ban the visible wearing of crosses at work because displaying the symbol is not a recognized “requirement” of the Christian faith.
A document leaked to Britain’s Sunday Telegraph outlines the argument the government plans to present at the tribunal in Strasbourg, France, where two Christian women will claim that their rights were violated when employers barred them from wearing crosses at work.

No protection for Nigerian Christians
OneNewsNow
Christians in northern Nigeria are reeling from the latest attack on a local church, and they aren't hopeful the government can successfully intervene.
Two women and a child were reportedly killed and dozens of others were injured in the blast during last Sunday's worship service at a church in Jos. A bomb-laden car drove past security and into the church compound.
International Christian Concern's (ICC) Jonathan Racho tells OneNewsNow the violent Islamic group Boko Haram, whose name loosely translates as "Western education forbidden," claims responsibility for the attack.

100% of Catholic Bishops Oppose Obama’s Contraceptive Mandate
CNS News
All 181 Catholic bishops in the United States oppose and have publicly denounced a regulation issued by the Obama administration that would require every health insurer to offer contraceptives, including those that induce abortion, free of charge.
The bishops oppose the mandate because, they argue, it is a violation of religious liberty under the First Amendment – in this case, the federal government forcing individual Catholics to subsidize products and services that are contrary to their religious beliefs.

Iran Arrests Dozens of Christians Considered a Threat to the Islamic State
Associated Press
Iran has arrested about 70 Christians since Christmas in a crackdown that demonstrates the limits of religious tolerance by Islamic leaders who often boast they provide room for other faiths.
The latest raids have targeted grass-roots Christian groups Iran describes as "hard-liners" who pose a threat to the Islamic state. Authorities increasingly view them with suspicions that range from trying to convert Muslims to being possible footholds for foreign influence.

Attorney: Court punishes 'narrow' religious beliefs
OneNewsNow
The New Hampshire Supreme Court has ordered that a home-schooled youngster attend a government-run school.
Brenda Voydatch had home-schooled her 11-year-old daughter from first- through fourth-grade. But the girl's father -- who is no longer married to the mother -- did not want her to be educated at home, and the dispute ended up in a lower court. Voydatch's attorney, John Anthony Simmons, an allied attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, says the court modified the child's school placement at the request of the father.
"And the rationale that it used was that the child [and the mother] had religious beliefs...that were abhorrent to the father and that essentially were too narrow," says Simmons, "and that those opinions needed to be corrected...."

Former screen siren Bardot convicted in race case
Yahoo News
PARIS - Brigitte Bardot was convicted Tuesday of provoking discrimination and racial hatred for writing that Muslims are destroying France. A Paris court also handed down a $23,325 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner. The court also ordered Bardot to pay $1,555 in damages to MRAP. Bardot's lawyer, Francois-Xavier Kelidjian, said he would talk to her about the possibility of an appeal. A leading French anti-racism group known as MRAP filed a lawsuit last year over a letter she sent to then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy. The remarks were published in her foundation's quarterly journal. In the December 2006 letter to Sarkozy, now the president, Bardot said France is "tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts." Bardot, 73, was referring to the Muslim feast of Aid el-Kebir, celebrated by slaughtering sheep. French anti-racism laws prevent inciting hatred and discrimination on racial or religious or racial grounds. Bardot had been convicted four times previously for inciting racial hatred.

Wright says criticism is attack on black church
Breitbart.Com
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a defiant appearance before the Washington media, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that criticism surrounding his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church and rejected those who have labeled him unpatriotic. "I served six years in the military," Barack Obama's longtime pastor said. "Does that make me patriotic? How many years did (Vice President Dick) Cheney serve?" Wright spoke at the National Press Club before the Washington media and a supportive audience of black church leaders beginning a two-day symposium. He said the black church tradition is not bombastic or controversial, but different and misunderstood by the "dominant culture" in the United States.

Pope blesses ground zero in NYC, prays for peace
My Way News
NEW YORK (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI began the final day of his American journey by blessing the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and pleading with God to bring "peace to our violent world." The visit by Benedict to ground zero was a poignant moment in a trip marked by unexpectedly festive crowds anxious to see the former academic who for three years has led the world's Roman Catholics. Benedict was driven in the popemobile part-way down a ramp now used mostly by construction trucks to a spot by the north tower's footprint. He walked the final steps, knelt in silent prayer for a few moments, then rose to light a memorial candle. Addressing a group that including survivors, clergy and public officials, he acknowledged the many faiths of the victims at the "scene of incredible violence and pain."

Muslims more numerous than Catholics: Vatican
Reuters United Kingdom
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Islam has overtaken Roman Catholicism as the biggest single religious denomination in the world, the Vatican said on Sunday. Monsignor Vittorio Formenti, who compiled the Vatican's newly-released 2008 yearbook of statistics, said Muslims made up 19.2 percent of the world's population and Catholics 17.4 percent. "For the first time in history we are no longer at the top: the Muslims have overtaken us," Formenti told Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview, saying the data referred to 2006. He said that if all Christian groups were considered, including Orthodox churches, Anglicans and Protestants, then Christians made up 33 percent of the world's population -- or about 2 billion people. The Vatican recently put the number of Catholics in the world at 1.13 billion people. It did not provide a figure for Muslims, generally estimated at around 1.3 billion. Formenti said that while the number of Catholics as a proportion of the world's population was fairly stable, the percentage of Muslims was growing because of higher birth rates.

Muslim baptized by pope says life in danger
Reuters News Service
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A Muslim author and critic of Islamic fundamentalism who was baptized a Catholic by Pope Benedict said on Sunday Islam is "physiologically violent" and he is now in great danger because of his conversion. "I realize what I am going up against but I will confront my fate with my head high, with my back straight and the interior strength of one who is certain about his faith," said Magdi Allam. In a surprise move on Saturday night, the pope baptized the 55-year-old, Egyptian-born Allam at an Easter eve service in St Peter's Basilica that was broadcast around the world. The conversion of Allam to Christianity -- he took the name "Christian" for his baptism -- was kept secret until the Vatican disclosed it in a statement less than an hour before it began. Writing in Sunday's edition of the leading Corriere della Sera, the newspaper of which he is a deputy director, Allam said: "... the root of evil is innate in an Islam that is physiologically violent and historically conflictual." Allam, who is a strong supporter of Israel and who an Israeli newspaper once called a "Muslim Zionist," has lived under police protection following threats against him, particularly after he criticized Iran's position on Israel. He said before converting he had continually asked himself why someone who had struggled for what he called "moderate Islam" was then "condemned to death in the name of Islam and on the basis of a Koranic legitimization." His conversion, which he called "the happiest day of my life," came just two days after al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden accused the pope of being part of a "new crusade" against Islam.

Row over BBC drama which shows Jesus crucified in a foetal position
The Daily Mail
The BBC is facing accusations of rewriting the Easter story by claiming Christ was nailed to the cross in a foetal position. The corporation is accused of "misleading" the public by ditching the traditional image of Jesus with arms outstretched, legs straight and hands nailed. Makers of lavish new drama The Passion, which started last night, say they are challenging this image, because new historical evidence shows he probably did not die this way. They instead maintain he likely died with his arms above his head, nails through his arms and his knees bent, when killed by the Romans. But the corporation is being accused of ignoring evidence in the Bible and gratuitously offending Christians who cherish the image. This comes just weeks after the broadcaster faced claims of exonerating Judas and Pontius Pilate in the same programme, which stars Joseph Mawle as Jesus. Others have also hit out at the programme's portrayal of Jesus' mother Mary, after the programme suggested she had not known what was happening to her. Speaking about the crucifixion row, Reverend George Curry, chairman of the Church Society, said: "They are misleading people by distorting the facts.

Malaysia seizes Christian books
The Washington Times
Malaysian authorities confiscated Christian children's books, claiming the illustrations of prophets such as Moses and Abraham violate Islamic Shariah law. The independent news agency Malaysakini reported the Internal Security Ministry confiscated the literature from bookstores in two cities and one small town in mid-December. The Malaysian Embassy declined to comment on the news service's Jan. 11 report. The Rev. Hermen Shastri, general secretary of the Malaysian Council of Churches, confirmed the report and accused the government of persecuting Christians. "The officials have offended the sensitivities of Christians because their publications and depictions of their Biblical personalities have now become targets of unscrupulous Muslim officials bent on curtailing religious freedom in the country," Mr. Shastri said.

Guard's hands "didn't even shake" as she shot gunman
DenverPost.com
COLORADO SPRINGS — Amid deafening cracks of gunfire, smoke-spewing canisters and the flight of thousands of New Life Church members, Jeanne Assam said she suddenly saw the hallways clear and a gunman come through the door. "I took cover. I identified myself. I engaged him. I took him down," the 42-year-old former law officer and volunteer church security guard said Monday at a news conference in the Colorado Springs police station. "I just said, 'Holy Spirit, be with me.' I wasn't even shaking," Assam said. "I give the credit to God. I say this very humbly. God was with me." Assam, a member of New Life for only a few months, admitted she had been without sleep since Sunday's midday shootings at Colorado's largest church. The episode left two injured and ended the lives of two teen sisters and the gunman, 24-year-old Matthew Murray. Police declined to confirm Monday whether Assam's weapon, which she reportedly emptied in the exchange, inflicted Murray's fatal wound or whether it was self-inflicted.

5 Die in Colo. Church, Mission Attacks
ABC News
Authorities searched a home in suburban Englewood early Monday, seeking any link between two deadly shooting sprees at Christian religious centers that left both communities baffled and stunned. Five people, including a gunman, died in the attacks Sunday at a megachurch in Colorado Springs and at the Youth With a Mission missionary center in the Denver suburb of Arvada. Five others were wounded. "Violent crimes of any sort are tragic enough, but when innocent people are killed in a religious facility or a place of worship, we must voice a collective sense of outrage and demonstrate a renewed commitment to keeping our communities safe," said Gov. Bill Ritter.

Romney’s Faith Speech; Will it Work with Evangelicals?
FoxNews.com
Mitt Romney will walk a tightrope Thursday, delivering a speech on religion's place in U.S. politics that is being billed as an attempt for the Republican presidential candidate to get out in front of questions about his Mormon faith and convince voters Mormonism is not a reason to avoid his candidacy. The top-tier GOP hopeful and his aides have stressed that the address, to be delivered at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, will not be a “primer on Mormonism,” nor will it be the Mormon version of John F. Kennedy's speech during the 1960 campaign addressing prejudices against Catholicism. But the potentially landmark address, titled "Faith in America," could be a pivotal moment, for better or worse. In excerpts of the speech released to the press ahead of the 10:30 a.m. EST address, Romney says that having to outline his religion to win the post of president is unconstitutional.

Saudi punishes gang rape victim with 200 lashes
BREITBART.COM
A court in the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishing a female victim of gang rape with 200 lashes and six months in jail, a newspaper reported on Thursday. The 19-year-old woman -- whose six armed attackers have been sentenced to jail terms -- was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape," the Arab News reported. But in a new verdict issued after Saudi Arabia's Higher Judicial Council ordered a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled the number of lashes to 200. A court source told the English-language Arab News that the judges had decided to punish the woman further for "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media." Saudi Arabia enforces a strict Islamic doctrine known as Wahhabism and forbids unrelated men and women from associating with each other, bans women from driving and forces them to cover head-to-toe in public.

Senate could vote on the "hate crimes" bill as early as today
AFA
The Senate will be voting, as early as today, on S.1105, the so-called "hate crimes" bill. Under S.1105, acts of crime committed against members of certain protected classes - including those who identify themselves by their "actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity" - would warrant more intense prosecution and greater penalties than the very same acts committed against heterosexuals. It would establish homosexuals as a special class of people and give them special rights.

Filipino Devotees Nailed to Crosses in Good Friday Rites
FoxNews.com
SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines — Christian devotees were nailed to crosses on a dusty mound in a northern Philippine village where Good Friday rites drew thousands of tourists and spectators. The Lenten ritual is opposed by religious leaders in the Philippines — Southeast Asia's largest predominantly Roman Catholic nation — but it has become one of the country's most-awaited summer attractions in San Fernando City's San Pedro Cutud village, about 45 miles north of Manila. Seven devotees were nailed to crosses in the re-enactment of Jesus Christ's final hours. The devotees — whose palms and feet were secured to wooden crosses with four-inch nails soaked in alcohol to prevent infection — were nailed up after a 1 mile walk to the mound, each carrying a wooden cross on their backs. Among the yearly penitents in San Pedro Cutud was Ruben Enaje, a 46-year-old commercial sign maker, who was nailed to the cross for the 21st time on Friday.
