American President, Barack Obama, has begun another week of trying to persuade the American people that it is in the nation’s best interest to go to war with Syria.

The President’s unrelenting publicity campaign follows on the heels of a tense G20 conference in St Petersburg, where he clashed with Russian President, Vladimir Putin, over whether an attack against Syria would be justified.

Vladimir Putin has made clear that if America attacks Syria, Russia will stand by Bashar al-Assad, while Iran and China have also shown support for the Syrian regime. The grisly prospect of having to fight a war on three fronts (Syria, Iran and China) has not deterred President Obama from his goal of trying to convince the world that everyone will be safer once America starts launching bombs into Damascus.

In a press conference on the problem (see video below or transcript here), President Obama argued that the nations of the world need to “set aside [their] differences” and attack Syria.

(Those who are accustomed to hearing President Obama speak are used to hearing him talk of “setting aside our differences” as shorthand for “everyone needs to just agree with me.”)

Obama argued that “unless the international community is willing to put massive numbers of troops on the ground” that “we’re not going to get a long-term military solution for the country.” Short of a full solution, however, he said he would be satisfied if “this particular problem of using chemical weapons on children” could at least be dealt with.

Taken at face value, this means that Obama would be satisfied merely to ensure no further chemical attacks even if the rest of Syria’s problems (i.e., their the civil war) are not dealt with.

Secretary of State, John Kerry, was one person who apparently took the President at his word. In a press briefing in London earlier today, Mr Kerry announce that Syria could avoid an American attack if Assad turns “over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community within the next week…”

Embarrassed by Mr Kerry’s proposal, the war-eager Obama had his administration rush to clarify what Mr Kerry had really meant, claiming he was merely “making a rhetorical argument.” But before the White House could kill Mr Kerry’s proposal with the death of a thousand qualifications, Russia put forward a concrete plan for implementing Kerry’s conditions. Assad subsequently welcomed the plan, which would involve turning over his arsenal of chemical weapons to international control.

This would be a convenient way to end a conflict that has brought the world perilously close to World War Three. If all parties accept this proposal, America could claim that their fighting talk paid off, that Assad backed down when faced with the prospect of an American attack. But al-Assad could also save face, claiming that his willingness to hand over his chemical weapons proves that he has nothing to hide because he never used them in the first place.

Unfortunately, it is uncertain whether Obama will agree to such a straight-forward solution, or whether he will try to impose additional demands that he knows al-Assad cannot agree to accept. The problem, of course, is that Obama’s moral outrage with al-Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons was never the real issue for him, even though he has used this as the justification for needing to go to war.

The fact is America was covertly supporting the Syrian rebels long before the recent issue of chemical weapons came up. In March this year, the New York Times reported that the America’s Central Intelligence Agency had expanded an airlift of arms and equipment to insurgent militants that had been occurring since early 2012, totalling around 3,500 tons of military equipment in total. This coincided with a series of rebel victories. America kept up the momentum, and in June this year Ben Rhodes, U.S. deputy national security adviser, revealed that America was stepping up the assistance it was giving to rebel groups, hoping to finally tip the balance to help the insurgents overthrow al-Assad’s government. The announcement coincided with the emergence of new lethal weapons in the hands of rebel forces.

Notice that this support of the rebels was before the 21 August chemical attack, which is now being used as justification for America getting involved. The fact is that Obama was already fighting an unofficial war against al-Assad long before the chemical attack allowed him to claim the moral high ground. That would explain why he was initially hesitant with a solution that merely guaranteed al-Assad would hand over his chemical weapons, and why his first reaction was to try to squash the significance of Kerry’s diplomatic proposal.

Behind the smoke-screen of humanitarian concern lies America’s support for the, so called, ‘Arab Spring’ movement.  Any time radical Muslims group together to try to overthrow a dictator, Obama has been right there to support the radicals. Many people don’t realize it, but the United States is also currently training rebel groups in both Jordan and Turkey.

Obama has said that if the international community does not react to an incident of gassing, then “international norms” all over the world will begin crumbling. If Obama really did believe this, then he would be obligated to bomb America, who has been complicit in far more chemical attacks than al-Assad. (See ‘10 Chemical Weapons Attacks Washington Doesn’t Want You to Talk About‘ and ‘How the U.S. helped Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons against Iran.’)

then he would have attacked North Korea long ago. It is well-established and uncontroversial that for decades North Korea has had Nazi-style concentration camps where inhuman practices occur that include gassing people to death. If the United States is really tasked with the job of acting as an international police force against rogue nations, and if Obama really is being motivated by humanitarian concerns, why has he focused on Syria and ignored the far greater human rights violations in North Korea?

So what has really been motivating Obama?

Gaining control of Syria is central to America’s long-term ambition of crippling Russia. Russia has never been a team player, while their prioritization of national interests creates barriers to the spread of global consumer markets.

Controlling Syria would also enable America to cripple Russia’s military. Russia has a strong naval presence along the major Syrian ports of Latakia and Tartus, giving them access to the Mediterranean. If Syria falls into the hands of America, then so would these strategic ports.

Oil is another important issue. In order for the West to suppress Russia and gain control of the energy markets, they must gain control of Syria. Currently oil is supplied to Western Europe through Russia’s Druzhba pipeline. Syria is a key alternative energy transit route to Europe that would break the West’s dependence on Russia. That is why, in 2009, America supported Qatar’s proposal for a gas pipeline from the Gulf to Turkey that would travel through Syria to the Mediterranean and into Europe. But al-Assad refused to play ball, making deals with Russia instead, and refusing to let the Qatar pipeline pass through their land. If the United States assists in a regime change in Syria, then they will be in a position to control the future government of the nation, enabling them to revisit the Qatar pipeline idea. (Syria is also the site of a proposed pipeline controlled by Iran and its allies, which would supply Western Europe and undercut America’s energy interests in favour of Russia. America is against this idea, but to prevent it from happening they must control Syria.)

It is also possible that Obama’s own pro-Muslim sympathies may be playing a significant role in his eagerness to attack Syria. It is no secret that al-Assad’s regime, for all its problems, has kept at bay the fundamentalist Muslim elements that would otherwise turn Syria into a Muslim state. Already we are getting a foretaste of what would happen if the rebels are victorious. Since the civil war began, Christians throughout Syria have been being killed, tortured, and raped at the hands of the very rebels that Obama has been supporting. (This gruesome video shows just how far the Obama-Backed Syrian jihadists are willing to go in their blood-thirsty activities.) Last Saturday the Free Syrian Army, which Secretary of State John Kerry and Senator John McCain have both described as ‘moderates’, attacked a Christian village and posted videos of the slaughter on Youtube.

We know Obama is pro-Muslim, as that much is clear from his video congratulating ISNA, a group linked to both the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. “My administration is proud to be your partner,” he said in a video praising the achievements of the group whose mother organization has been burning churches in Egypt. Obama has also aligned himself with those who have sought to criminalize all criticism of Islam. Moreover, though it has yet to be substantiated, many believe there is evidence that President Obama is actually a member of the Muslim brotherhood. Saad Al-Shater, the son of imprisoned Muslim Brotherhood leader Khairat Al-Shater, claims his father “had in his hand” information, documents and recordings that could put Obama in prison. As the evidence has not yet been made public, we are not in a position to comment on it. But this much is clear: Obama has been supporting the jihadists who have been systematically butchering Syria’s struggling Christian population.

Speaking about Parliament’s decision not to go to war with Syria last week, Vladimir Putin said he was surprised to see Britain no longer following America’s lead, as it had in the past.

In an interview which was recorded on video, the Russian President went on to appeal to Obama as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Echoing comments I made in a 2010 article titled ‘Is Obama a Man of Peace?‘, Putin asked Obama to consider carefully whether war with Syria is really in the interest of world peace.

Putin He also challenged America to bring forward the evidence they claim to possess showing that Assad’s regime used chemical weapons against the rebel forces.

The Independent has a front page article today promoting a pro-homosexual campaign by the British Humanist Association.

The BHA, a registered charity which regularly engages in political campaigning, has just found out that over 40 schools, mainly academies, are insisting that teachers should not promote homosexuality to their pupils.

Given the levels of disease, the promiscuity, the degradation and the perversion inherent in the homosexual lifestyle, anyone with any sense of care for the young would have thought this was only sensible.  A robust child-centred view would see promotion of homosexuality to 13-16 year-olds in the same light as grooming.

Parents send their children to school to get an education, not to be indoctrinated with the personal predilictions of teachers and ‘sex workers’.  Most parents would regard ‘pro-gay’ teaching as child abuse.

But no, for the BHA and the Indy, it’s ‘The Return of Section 28’, the measure brought in under Margaret Thatcher at the instigation of Baroness Knight, Sir William Shelton, the Earl of Halsbury and others, to ban ‘gay lessons’.  The Indy quoted Peter Tatchell in support of its stance without mentioning his contribution to the notorious pro-paedophilia book ‘The Betrayal of Youth’ in 1986.  A leader-writer claimed ‘gay is perfectly natural’.

Wes Streeting, who is ‘head of education’ at the pro-sodomy organisation Stonewall, claimed that Section 28 had a ‘deeply damaging effect on the education and well-being of so many young people’.  Actually, it may have saved very many more from being recruited into homosexual practice and the ‘gay’ lifestyle.

Not many parents know that the Equality Act 2010 put an obligation on public authorities to promote homosexuality and that includes LEA schools.  Academies appear to be outside that obligation, but are still subject to the Sexual Orientation regulations which say homosexuals should not be discriminated against in the provision of goods and services.  There is no evidence of discrimination in any of these schools.  Furthermore,  there is no national sex education curriculum.  School governing bodies have the responsibility of drawing one up themselves.

The Department for Education, the DfE, said: “All schools can draw up their own sex-education policy, but they must ensure they do not discriminate on grounds of sexual orientation. Our guidance makes it clear that schools should not promote any sexual orientation. The DfE will be looking into these schools.”

Disturbingly, instead of standing up for themselves, the schools immediately began running for cover.  According to the Indy:

‘In its first statement of its sex education policy, the Castle View Enterprise Academy in Sunderland could not have been clearer. It said: “The Governing Body will not permit the promotion of homosexuality.”

‘After being contacted by The Independent, it deleted the guidance from its website. The academy said the “incorrect information” was “one of several policy drafts shared by schools and project management companies as examples before the academy opened”. It said the policy had never been approved by its governing body. Principal Janet Bridges said: “We are thankful this administrative error has been brought to our attention and apologise for any upset it may have caused.”

‘An identical phrase was used by Colston’s Girls’ School, Bristol. And it executed a similar U-turn when contacted by the Liberal Democrat MP for Bristol West, Stephen Williams. He said: “I was amazed when I saw it and assumed at first it was some old policy from when it was a private school.”

‘Other schools are expected to rapidly delete similar guidance.’

Christian minorities are facing unprecedented fear and exodus in the Middle East as they become casualties of the Arab Spring movement.

Throughout the Middle East, churches are being attacked. Christians are being killed, and the population of believers continues to diminish.

These concerns were raised by Joseph Wakim in his recent article, ‘Christian minorities a casualty of the Arab Spring.‘

Wakim writes:

Emerging democracies in the ‘Arab Spring’ may have claimed an innocent casualty: Christian minorities.

If the crudest consequence of elections is ‘majority rules’, then minorities need protection. Westerners who laud the ‘Arab Spring’ cannot have it both ways, waving the carrot of democracy with one hand while waving a big stick with the other hand if Islamic values prevail. While a constitution may enshrine safeguards, this depends on who constitutes the majority….

It is the height of arrogance to laud Arab societies for ‘importing’ western ideologies of democracy, when in fact the new generation of Arabs have their own aspirations and ideologies. Ironically, it is the importing of ideologies of theocracy from US-allied Gulf states that has hijacked the pro-democracy uprisings, but rarely registered on the Western radar. Indeed, it is these ideologies of sectarian supremacy, rather than Islam or Muslims per se, that pose the biggest threat of extinction to the indigenous Christians.

Elsewhere in the article he gives some sobering statistics about Christianity in the Middle East::

The statistics are staggering: A century ago, one in five Arabs were Christian, whereas now they number one in 20.

The sectarian war in Iraq after the 2003 US-led invasion has halved the Christian population to less than 400,000.

We unwittingly created a storm of controversy earlier in the month when we posted Jessica Rey’s video on the evolution of the swimsuit.

Rey shared research from brain scientists at Princeton University who performed MRI brain scans on men while showing them pictures of women in bikinis. The researchers then repeated the experiment while showing the same men pictures of women who were dressed modestly. The brain scans found that men responded to immodest woman like they would respond to a thing, whereas the same men responded to women who were dressed modestly as persons.

In response to this research and to other considerations, Jessica Rey has been designing a line of modest swimsuits for women. While not all of her designs are completely modest, she is at least moving in the right direction by raising consciousness about this important issue.

Not everyone agrees that it is appropriate to raise these issues, or to even question the multi-billion dollar Big Bikini industry. Indeed, the video we posted already has numerous comments from detractors, as well as some unpublished offensive comments from angry men who are scandalized that we would even think to question the bikini. One commenter said “What pitiful little cowards you are” and “out here in the real world, 99.99999% of people couldn’t care less what she or you two idiots think about anything, let alone swimwear…. you moron.”

Er…okay.

How the Bikini Objectifies Women

Unfortunately, none of our opponents even bothered to try to interact with the aforementioned Princeton study, which shows that those who champion female modesty now have a growing body of scientific research to back them up. As CNN reported,

New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis.

The research was presented this week by Susan Fiske, professor of psychology at Princeton University, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science….

A supplementary study on both male and female undergraduates found that men tend to associate bikini-clad women with first-person action verbs such as I “push,” “handle” and “grab” instead of the third-person forms such as she “pushes,” “handles” and “grabs.” They associated fully clothed women, on the other hand, with the third-person forms, indicating these women were perceived as in control of their own actions. The females who took the test did not show this effect, Fiske said.

That goes along with the idea that the man looking at a woman in a bikini sees her as the object of action, Fiske said.

Barely There Modesty

This morning Stacy McDonald wrote an excellent piece showing how modesty helps us to properly honour marriage and exhibit Christ-like selflessness. Her article, ‘The New Barely There Modesty’ raises concerns about the growing defence of bikinis among Christian leaders. Stacy writes,

Modesty isn’t (or shouldn’t be) about legalism, rules, hiding, fear, body shame, or uptight-ism. Since modesty is included in our call to be chaste, it’s about covering our nakedness in public (which the Bible actually does present as shameful), so that we might represent Him honorably before the world. It’s about hallowing His name.

“The nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.” (Ezekiel 36:23)

It’s about selflessness. It’s about honoring marriage. And beyond that, ladies, it’s about love—loving our brothers and their wives. After all, modesty promotes friendship in women; and, when we remove the awkwardness of sexual immodesty, it promotes a relaxed, comfortable friendship with our brothers as well….

The “barely there modesty” philosophy is not even consistent. How many women would stand around in their “me-oh-mys” in front of an open window where a bunch of construction workers were on lunch break at the house across the street? But these same women will wear the equivalent of their underwear in front of a crowd on the beach or at the pool.

Stacy goes on to explain how modesty helps preserve the sanctity of marriage:

A woman’s naked body is supposed to elicit more than a yawn from a man. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. But, like any of God’s gifts, freely revealing the intimate parts of our bodies to one another is supposed to be enjoyed within the boundaries that God has generously provided—in this case, within the oneness of marriage.

As a loving deer and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and always be enraptured with her love. Proverbs 5:19

Keep your eyes on your own wife. And women, concentrate on satisfying your own husband…privately.

And that goes for guys too. We ladies aren’t immune to lust or distraction, and nakedness goes both ways. But, remember, it’s not always about lust; sometimes it’s simply about dignity. So keep your shirt on! Literally.

I love exposing my nakedness…to my husband. And I love enjoying his nakedness too! Shocked? You shouldn’t be. But you should be shocked if I decide to take it all off at the beach.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled… (Hebrews 13:4)

It is good and right for a man to be excited by the body of his wife. But, if society manages to desensitize him by making nudity and sexuality common place (perhaps even boring), then the attack on marriage is subtly effective. God intended nudity to stir a reaction in us within marriage; we are wonderfully created to be sensitive to it. As nudity becomes common, and sexuality becomes almost mundane, it robs marriage of what is glorious.

I strongly suggest you read Stacy’s entire article HERE.

Modesty and the Malliability of the Human Brain

Still, many people are unconvinced. One person left a comment after our earlier post saying,

In my experience, when girls and women are topless on a beach, the atmosphere quickly becomes perfectly relaxed and everyone tends to forget about it and accept it, even adolescent boyfriends. So much so that young women will stand up and casually stray to the nearest road to queue at an icecream van, still topless. I can detect not harm in this.

This is an important question. If we become so used to public nakedness that it becomes relaxed, ordinary and casual, without overtly sensual overtones, then what can be the harm in this? In order to properly answer this question, we must again return to the realm of neuroscience.

Recent discoveries have shown that the human brain is in a constant state of flux, a characteristic that brain scientists call neuro­plasticity. Put simply, the human brain is remarkably adaptable, constantly adjusting itself to the demands of the environment in which it finds itself.

This neurological fluidity is a good thing because, among other things, it enables people to learn new skills, makes it possible for stroke victims to recover some motor functions, and helps blind people compensate for the loss of sight by strengthening parts of the brain associated with the other senses.

But neuroplasticity also has a downside. In his 2007 book The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge shows that certain types of sexual stimuli have the power to reshape how the brain thinks about sex. Because our brains are so adaptable, the dominant assumptions that a collective culture has about sex can exercise a formative influence on the brains of those growing up within that culture, training them to think about sex in a certain way.

How do we see that happening in our own culture? That is a question I addressed in my 2010 blog post ‘Gender, Morality and Modesty Part 5 (the Disenchanting of Sex)’ and then again in my 2011 Salvo article ‘Sex and the Kiddies: The Sexualization of Children & How Advertising & Entertainment Change Their Brains.’ In these articles I explained how the goals of some of the early pioneers of the sexual revolution have been realized in the assumptions that often attach themselves to contemporary swimwear and which actually change how we think about our bodies.

One of these revolutionaries was  Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957), an early pioneer of the sex-education movement. In Reich’s book The Sexual Revolution, he described the means for achieving a society that would not put any obstacles in the path of sexual gratification. Reich was perceptive. He realized that in order to arrive at the sexual utopia he advocated, people would first have to learn to dispense with their natural shyness and embarrassment concerning sexual matters. They would have to lose their reluctance to expose erotically important parts of their bodies. Reich attempted to facilitate this by conducting psychotherapy sessions in which he would require his clients to remove all their clothes.

Reich would be pleased to see an American or European beach today, which is often more in keeping with his ideal than what is found in brothels. In a brothel, the women have had to overcome the natural shyness surrounding erotically important parts of their bodies in order to sell sex. On a sunny beach, women in various states of undress can be seen to have overcome this natural shyness—with no thought of sex at all. By refusing to acknowledge the erotic implications of revealing attire or nudity, they have so nearly achieved Reich’s goal of overcoming shyness. “Profane” may be the best word to describe Reich’s ideal and its realization, given that the term originally meant “to treat as common.”

This understanding of profanity is hard for many to grasp. Unfortunately, I know many people who agree we should be concerned when a woman undresses in public to advertise her sensuality and arouse an erotic response from men, yet the same people believe it is perfectly acceptable for our girls to become so desensitized that they undress in public without any sense of sexual exhibitionism. The reason we should be as concerned for the later as we are the former, is because desensitized girls will be less likely to guard and protect what they have been conditioned to treat as nothing special.

Moreover, when a society treats a naked body as merely common, over long periods of time this cannot help but change the neurocircuitry of our brains so that we actually begin to perceive the body differently. (On the way cultural influences change the human brain, see my article ‘The Neuro Transformers: Culture and the Maliability of the Human Brain.’)

Understood from this perspective, one of the main arguments in favour of the bikini is actually an argument against it. Bikinis are sometimes defended on the grounds that the women who wear them as swimming suits are not trying to be provocative.  While this might be challenged, if it is true it only shows how desexualized women have become if the female body can be almost entirely revealed without the presence of erotic overtones.  We are drifting towards being neuter when the signals of our sexuality are treated as anything less.

Modesty and Sex

One person responded to Stacy McDonald’s article by saying “Since getting married I have been shocked by the number of people who assume that if you believe in modesty in public you must never enjoy the physical side of marriage…“

This is ironic, since the shoe is actually on the other foot. Modesty helps to upgrade the importance of our sexual dignity and to keep sex an exciting and fulfilling experience. As I explained in my article ‘Holy Matrimony: The Unexpected Connection Between Religion & Sexual Fulfillment,’

Some women have told me that modesty is important to them, not only because it helps men not to stumble, but also because it helps them place a high value on their own sexuality. They have told me that modest apparel affirms the true importance of a woman’s sexual identity, since it proclaims that her body is not a tame, benign, and commonplace thing. Modesty affirms that our bodies in general and our sexuality in particular are special, charged, even enchanted, and too exciting to be put merely to common use. As Kathleen van Schaijik suggested in a 1999 article, “If we revere something, we do not hide it. Neither do we flaunt it in public. We cherish it; we pay it homage; we approach it with dignity; we adorn it with beauty; we take care that it is not misused.”

In her book A Return to Modesty, Wendy Shalit argues that modesty is the truly erotic option, since it makes the highest valuation of a woman’s sexual identity, affirming the sacredness of sexuality and displaying a commitment to setting it apart and cherishing it. C. S. Lewis put his finger on the same principle in That Hideous Strength: “when a thing is enclosed, the mind does not willingly regard it as common.” To dress immodestly is ultimately to reduce our sexuality to something commonplace, trivial, and humdrum.

Precisely for this reason, a modest woman significantly upgrades the significance of what is happening when she undresses in front of her husband. As Havelock Ellis observed (stumbling upon the truth for one of the few times in his life), “without modesty we could not have, nor rightly value at its true worth, that bold and pure candor which is at once the final revelation of love and the seal of its sincerity.”

…Modesty also upgrades sexuality from the male perspective. The anecdotal evidence clear shows that men whose environment is saturated with immodest women (either because of the company they keep or the images they view) are generally not oversexed, as one might suppose, but just the opposite. In Denmark, where pornography is unrestricted, men are often quoted as saying that sex has become boring.

Cristina Odone observed in The Times that advertisers are finding that sex just does not sell products like it once did. The reason, she suggested, is that the advertisers have made sex so banal that it doesn’t entice us any longer. As one 16-year-old was quoted as saying in 2004, “I’m so used to it, it makes me sick.”

Frequent exposure to nudity tends to trivialize the human body, emptying it of its implicit eroticism. As someone said to me last year, when a man is exposed to too much flesh, it lowers the healthy excitement he should feel when he looks upon the body of his wife because (yawn) he sees that all the time. It therefore takes a higher sexual charge, sometimes to point of extreme perversion, to match the excitement that might otherwise be available in a normal sexual encounter. Could it be that the rise of libido-enhancing drugs is meeting a need created by the libido-squashing effects of pornography?

As summer comes upon us, it is helpful to appreciate that the type of swimwear that is now routine was once scandalously shocking, and appropriately so. In this fascinating video, fashion designer Jessica Rey talks about the evolution of the bikini and how woman all over the world are turning to modest alternatives.

A student wearing a tee-shirt with an image supporting traditional male-female marriage has been arrested in France.

Nicolas B. was sporting the logo of ‘La Manif Pour Tous’ (The Demonstration For All) which appears to have been banned under the ‘Loi Taubira’ which legalised same-sex ‘marriage’ and is named after French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira.

The logo consists of a man, a woman and two children holding hands.  One week ago, Nicolas had been held in a police cell for six days.  La Manif Pour Tous protested against his detention last Friday but it is unclear if he has yet been released.

Read more about the arrest and imprisonment of Nicolas B on Tony Atkins excellent blog.

A distinctive feature of La Manif Pour Tous is the number of young people involved in this movement upholding God’s institution of marriage.  This must challenge for the church in Britain.

Meanwhile, according to Tony Atkins, a ‘gay marriage’ fair in Paris was a total flop.  Homosexuals only want to be ‘married’ in order to wreck marriage for heterosexuals, he contends.  Anonymous sex in bushes on Hampstead Heath or Clapham Common is more their line.

In the wake of ‘Loi Taubira’ adverts promising ‘gay friendly’ ‘budget surrogacy’ in India have appeared on Facebook, but Caucasian egg donors are apparently available.

We have already raised concerns that the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill currently being debated in the United Kingdom’s House of Lords will lead to the sort of pro-gay bullying being seen just across the Channel, and that this will impinge on churches and on individuals, especially teachers and school children.

There is some good news.  The Parliament in Croatia has moved towards enshrining traditional marriage in the country’s constitution, following demands for a referendum on the subject by voters concerned about liberal sex education and the new law in France.  Hungary did the same recently and Romania is set to follow suit.

There was never a better time to stand up for the Gospel – or to make sure your passport is up-to-date.

The UK and its allies would be able to send arms to Syrian opposition groups straightaway if they felt such a move was justified, William Hague has said.

An existing EU embargo was lifted on Monday.  MPs from all parties have warned about weapons falling into extremists’ hands.

William Hague lobbied European leaders to lift the embargo.

Sending arms to be sent to the Syrian rebels will mean systematic persecution of Syria’s 10% Christian minority, who had relative safety under President Assad’s Alawite regime..

It will also mean weapons falling into the hands of Muslim extremists attached to Al-Qaeda.

Finally, it will mean equipping enemies of Israel who make President Assad look like a Zionist in comparison.

Mr Hague knows all this, so why is he so intent on arming the rebels?

Christians are already under attack.  The Fars News Agency from Iran reports (27th May 2013):

The armed rebels affiliated to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) raided the Christian-populated al-Duvair village in Reef (outskirts of) Homs near the border with Lebanon today and massacred all its civilian residents, including women and children.

The Syrian army, however, intervened and killed tens of terrorists during heavy clashes which are still going on in al-Duvair village.

The armed rebels’ attack and crimes in al-Duvair village came after they sustained heavy defeats in al-Qusseir city which has almost been set free by the Syrian army except for a few districts.

Truth is often hard to come by in that part of the world (it isn’t that easy here) but we have reported before on attacks by Syrian rebels on Christians.

Even the BBC’s website is admitting that the Syrian opposition is riven with internal disputes and extremism.  See:

Syria crisis: Rebels condemn opposition coalition

Guide to the Syrian opposition

All across the Middle East, in countries affected by the ‘Arab Spring’, Christians are coming under persecution.  Our Government’s intervention in Iraq resulted in a hard-line Islamic takeover  and the eviction or extermination of Christians, yet the Foreign Secretary is intent on ploughing the same furrow in Syria.  The question must be asked: Does William Hague hate Christians?

A rally organised by French ex-patriates brought more than one thousand French and British supporters of marriage into Trafalgar Square on a chilly Sunday afternoon yesterday.

The rally was timed to co-incide with a massive pro-marriage ‘manifestation’ in Paris.  The Paris event was the second of his kind, the London protest the first.

Christian politician Alan Craig was invited to give a speech and accused the French President and the British Prime Minister of not listening to the people.

‘Mr Cameron likes to export democracy around the world,’ he said, ‘often with bombs and bullets’, yet he will not listen to people in his own back yard.’

A group of around 100 pro-sodomy counter-demonstrators sported rainbow flags and chanted ‘Shame on you’.  They were largely ignored by the good-natured pro-marriage supporters.

A fair-sized selection of posters, flags, banners and some chanted slogans, emphasised what the protestors saw as a radical departure from the natural order in redefining marriage to include homoxsexuals.

One poster pointed out – in French and English – that we are all born from a man and a woman.

Damien Montgieux, of organising group ‘La Manif pour tous’ (‘demonstration for all’) told Christian Voice that he was happy the event had gone off peacefully.

Mr Montgieux was pleased that so many took time on their day of rest to come to London on a bitterly cold day but he observed that in Paris, on the same afternoon, 100’s of thousands marched to the Arc de Triomphe.  There was an age difference between Paris and London as well.

‘In Trafalgar Square, the average person was middle-aged’, he told us, ‘But in France the protestors are much younger.  The youth come out to stand up for ‘le mariage’.  It is cool to do so.

‘I am very hopeful that in France homosexual marriage will be defeated,’ he concluded, ‘I should like to be as sure about Britain.’

Despite a typical bit of sensationalism in the Mail on Sunday, Her Majesty the Queen will not sign a Commonwealth gay rights charter at Marlborough House tonight.

The new Commonwealth Charter declares: “We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds.”

The Charter is only ‘designed to stamp out discrimination against homosexual people and promote the “empowerment” of women’ in the minds of a few libertarians in Britain and Australia and an editor at Northcliffe House with an eye on the market.

If the Charter had said explicitly ‘grounds of sexuality’ instead of ‘other grounds’ it would have been a gay rights measure, but the Commonwealth is not Westminster,  or Canberra.  A majority of nations still retain elements of historical Biblical morality and a charter with a reference to ‘sexuality’ would never have been agreed by all Commonwealth heads of government in December..

As the Mail says: “The ‘other grounds’ is intended to refer to sexuality – but specific reference to ‘gays and lesbians’ was omitted in deference to Commonwealth countries with draconian anti-gay laws.”

Exactly.  Except it was only ‘intended’ that way by some of those who stitched the wording together.  For others, in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, there is not the slightest thought that ‘gay rights’ is a new Commonwealth ideal.

The Sunday Telegraph observed that ‘forty-one of the Commonwealth’s 54 nations retain legislation against homosexual acts. In parts of Nigeria and Pakistan those found to have taken part in gay sex can receive the death penalty, in Trinidad and Tobago it can incur 25 years in jail and life imprisonment in Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Bangladesh and Guyana.’

Ben Summerskill, the chief executive of the gay and lesbian rights group Stonewall, described the Monarch, for some reason, as a “feminist icon” and said: “This is the first time that the Queen has publicly acknowledged the importance of the six per cent of her subjects who are gay.”

(The actual evidence shows the latter figure to be around 1.5% in the West and nearer to 0% in Africa and Asia.)

For another more balanced view, here is the view of Tim Marshall, Foreign Affairs Editor at Sky News:

‘In her speech the Queen will say: “Our shared values… which are found in our new Commonwealth Charter – mean that we place special emphasis on including everyone in this goal, especially those who are vulnerable.”

‘She may say that, but the charter does not.’

A planned witness to support marriage on Palm Sunday from 2pm to 5pm has been initiated by a group of French ex-patriates, Christian Voice has learned.

Christian UK-based campaigning groups have been slow to organise anything, so the French, flushed with the success of the ‘manifestation’ in Paris in January, have decided to organise a demonstration in Trafalgar Square on Palm Sunday, Sunday 24th March, 2013.

What is little known is that this will be their second pro-marriage London witness.  Canon Chris Sugden of Anglican Mainstream explains:

‘You may remember that in January around a million people – including many thousands of students and young people – demonstrated on the streets of Paris against their government’s proposals to redefine traditional marriage to include same sex couples. Hundreds of the demonstrators were UK-based French residents who boarded the Eurostar to Paris to join their compatriots.

‘What is less well known is that on the same day a further 600 French residents refrained from travelling to Paris but demonstrated instead outside the French Embassy in west London.

‘The UK-based protesters have invited other non-French UK residents to join them in Trafalgar Square, and to make this a joint protest against both the UK and the French governments’ plans to redefine marriage.

‘We think this is a great idea and, along with those from other UK organisations, Anglican Mainstream fully supports it and plans to be there.”

Quite an interesting insight by Walid Shoebat:

http://shoebat.com/2013/02/04/would-jesus-or-muhammad-have-gay-friends/ 

In many churches, tolerance has become an idol. I have heard numerous times Christians happily say that they have “gay friends,” as though it were a badge of honor. I have no problem with sharing the Gospel with homosexuals, but why should we make it a major goal for Christians to have gay friends?

Would Christ have gay friends? “Yes, since he spent time with tax collectors and prostitutes,” would be the answer of many modern Christians. But while this is true, this does not prove that Christ would have gay friends. A tax collector and prostitute are not homosexuals.

In Genesis Abraham is visited by three figures, one of whom he refers to as “My Lord” (Genesis 18:3), and who Scripture calls “the LORD” (Genesis 18:17). This person was then God in the flesh, and thus Jesus Christ.

After much feasting, Christ and the other two men leave Abraham to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah:

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. (Genesis 18:21-22)

The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexual deviancy (19:4-10). Christ therefore, destroyed a city for ‘gay’ behavior. Christ believed in the Law which Moses, being divinely inspired, wrote against homosexuality:

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them. (Leviticus 20:13)

He would also have subscribed to the Mosaic law which forbade men from wearing women’s clothing and vice versa:

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)

So would Christ have gay friends? No. But do you know who would? Muhammad. Muhammad, contrary to Scripture, in fact wore the clothes of his child-bride Aisha as a ritual to receive revelation from Allah.

In the Sahih Collection of al-Bukhari, Hadith Number 2442,
Chapter 52, Muhammad says:

The revelation does not come to me when I am in the garment of any woman except ‘A’isha.

In Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Number 3941, the same impostor states:

Do not hurt me with Aisha; for by Allah, the inspiration did not descent on me while I was in the coverings (lihaf) of any of you (women) except Aisha.”

In the Sahih collection of Imam Muslim, Hadith Number 4472, one Zaynab Bint Jahsh requests a visit to see Muhammad

while he was with Aisha in (fee) her robe (Mirt) and in the same state that Fatimah found him in.”

As we write in our book, For God or For Tyranny, the Quran itself promises boy loving for jihadists in paradise.

The followers of Muhammad consisted of mukhannathun, or cross dressers. It is the same word as mukhannatah, which in Arabic means homosexual.

Daayiee Abdullah, an openly gay imam, describes the mukhannathun as

sort of a male-female, cross-dressing types. They existed. And they also lived or worked in the household of the Prophet. Aisha, one of the Prophet’s wives, indicated that there were men who worked in the household. They were mukhannathun. That generally meant that they were not necessarily castrated, but not having an interest in women.

Muhammad not only was a cross-dresser, but he had gay friends. So the next time you hear a modern Christian laud himself for having gay friends and criticize the church for prohibiting homosexuality, let him know that Jesus wouldn’t have gay friends, but Muhammad did.

Suicide rates among middle-aged men and young women in Britain increased to their highest level in almost a decade during 2011, according to newly released figures.

There has been a ‘significant’ rise in the overall number of people who have taken their own life in the United Kingdom over the past 12 months, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said yesterday.

A teenager from Abbots Langley is the latest teenager to be driven to suicide by bullying. Jessica Cobb, 15, was bullied ‘for being pretty’.  Girls in their teens and twenties are the group with the biggest rise in the suicide rate over the past six years.

BBC3 is set to screen a comedy about assisted suicide this month. For those who have lost loved ones, suicide is anything but funny.  Christian Voice is among those pleading with BBC3 controller Zai Bennett, to drop the show.  Alarm has also been raised about websites promoting suicide viewed by young people.

Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, said today:

‘The rise in suicide amongst two groups in particular – middle-aged men and young women – should be of great concern.  There is a growing culture of suicide becoming acceptable in Britain today.  Websites encouraging young people to take their own lives should be shut down, and as for the BBC3 comedy ‘Way to go’, the word ‘irresponsible’ hardly conveys the enormity of what they are adding to the cultural mix. 

‘At a time when every country of the UK has a scheme trying to reduce suicide, for our national broadcaster to make light of it is a total abuse of their privileged position.  I am not sure what can be done about the pro-suicide websites, but BBC3’s Controller, Zai Bennett, could and should scrap ‘Way to go’ especially in the light of these newly-released figures.’

Key points from the ONS statistics

* In 2011 there were 6,045 suicides in people aged 15 and over in the UK, an increase of 437 compared with 2010.

* The UK suicide rate increased significantly between 2010 and 2011, from 11.1 to 11.8 deaths per 100,000 population.

* There were 4,552 male suicides in 2011 (a rate of 18.2 suicides per 100,000 population) and 1,493 female suicides (5.6 per 100,000 population).

* The highest suicide rate was in males aged 30 to 44 (23.5 deaths per 100,000 population in 2011).

* The suicide rate in males aged 45 to 59 increased significantly between 2007 and 2011 (22.2 deaths per 100,000 population in 2011).

* The overall male suicide rate is the highest since 2002.

* From an all-time low of 5.0 suicides per 100,000 population in 2007, female suicides have tended to increase and the suicide rate of 5.6 deaths per 100,000 population in 2011 was significantly higher.

* Female suicide rates were highest in 45 to 59-year-olds in 2011 (7.3 deaths per 100,000 population).

* Females aged 15 to 29 had the lowest suicide rates of any age group. However, the rate in this age group has increased significantly from a record low of 2.9 deaths per 100,000 in 2007 to 4.2 deaths per 100,000 in 2011.

Suicide prevention programmes accross the United Kingdom

In September 2012 the Department of Health launched ‘Preventing Suicide in England: a cross-government outcomes strategy to save lives’.

Following a public consultation in 2009, the Welsh Assembly Government published ‘Talk to Me: The National Action Plan to Reduce Suicide and Self Harm in Wales, 2009-2014’.

In Scotland, a 10-year ‘Choose Life’ suicide prevention strategy and action plan was launched in 2002 with the overarching aim to reduce suicide in Scotland by 20% by 2013 (Scottish Executive, 2002).

In 2006, the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Northern Ireland (DHSSPS) published ‘Protect Life: A Shared Vision – The Northern Ireland Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan, 2006-2011’. The strategy includes two targets:

i. to obtain a 10% reduction in the overall suicide rate by 2008

ii. to reduce the overall suicide rate by a further 5% by 2011
