ISIS to the Christians… Kill them

ISIS to Christians… “there is nothing to give them but the sword.”

Throughout northern Iraq, Christians are hunkered down in refugee camps, trapped in the desert, or in their homes, awaiting death.

Despite the presence of Christians in Iraq and Syria for two thousand years, today they face extinction in this region.

Canon Andrew White, head of the Anglican Church in Iraq “It looks as though the end could be very near,” he told the BBC.

Last week, Christians were warned to either leave the city of Mosul and other areas under Islamic State control, or they would have to pay a tax or be put to death.

The group, Human Rights Watch, reported on July 14 that homes in Mosul were painted with red letters to indicate homes of Christians.

Those Christians who have escaped have reported being deprived of all their belongings but for their clothing.  Escaping Christians were forced to pass ISIS checkpoints at town edges who also and additionally confiscated jewelry, money, automobiles, even food and water.  As they left they were warned “don’t even dream of returning.”

ISIS / Islam is very clear on this deal.  For those who live under the rule of a fundamentalist Islamic state, the options are laid plain and simple.  Run, convert, pay a fine, or be put to death.  There will be no coexistence.

Like the Nazis only a few short years ago, ISIS is glorifying and reveling in their killing and believe with all sincerity that they are doing the work of Allah.  Nobody is immune, fathers, mothers and children are being rounded up, beaten, beheaded or otherwise killed.

WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES FOLLOW, VIEW WITH DISCRETION. Many viewers will find these images VERY disturbing.

NEW REPORT URGES FOR MORE LGBT’S TO BE SEEN ON TV

2 Comments

In the UK, the BBC commissioned a report into the portrayal of homosexuals and lesbians on television. The report found that only 50% of the population were comfortable with same-sex relationships within programming.

The report recommends that more programs feature lesbian and gay relationships, as well as suggesting children’s programs should be used to familiarise audiences to same-sex couples.

The study found that heterosexual men believed that there were already too many gay and lesbian people on television, but gay and lesbian people surveyed said they believed they were under represented.

It also suggested that drama was a “powerful tool” to educate people, but that comedy could pose a problem as LGBT people are often the focus of jokes.

CHILD SEX ABUSE SCANDAL ROCKS BBC

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)  has been rocked by scandal, which has seen heads roll at the highest level. The flagship news program ‘Newsnight’ had produced a program about the late Jimmy Saville, which exposed allegations that Saville was a pedophile.

Jimmy Saville was a DJ and broadcaster in the 1960’s-80’s. He headlined prime time BBC programs like ‘Top of Pops’ and ‘Jim’ll Fix It’. At the height of his fame he was one of the most powerful broadcasters in the corporation.

‘Newsnight’ decided to shelve the program, in which victims were interviewed, telling of the abuse they suffered at the hands of Saville. The program was then broadcast by rival channel ITV.

Since the program was broadcast, hundreds more victims have come forward and police now believe that Saville could be the UKs most prolific pedophile.

In the light of the investigation, more celebrities have been named and it has been discovered that for years people within the BBC knew of the gossip surrounding Saville and did nothing.

The BBC has been a bastion for the liberal left for years, yet they believed Saville was too big a name to challenge. ‘Newsnight’ editor Peter Rippon said in emails, the investigation was not important because the allegations were surrounding “teenagers, not too young”. Another big name at the BBC, Esther Rantzen, who started the charity ‘Childline’ to help children report abuse, has spoken of the gossip at the BBC in the 80’s, yet she did nothing. ‘Childline’ has since dropped Rantzen as their patron.

Now the media is on a witch hunt, for the names of those pedophiles still to be exposed. This witch hunt led the BBC Newsnight program to name a Conservative Peer, Lord MacAlpine, as a pedophile. The man who the abuse concerns has publically said this is not the man who abused him. This blunder has caused the Director General of the BBC, George Entwistle, to step down.

As the scandal and the fall out continues, there are serious questions regarding the culture at the BBC, and the journalistic standards of their programs.
