Iran's Plan, Muslim Prayers In National Cathedral
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Iran's Nine-Point Plan - How deep does Barack Obama's animus toward Israel run? I believe it runs deep and we got more evidence of it this week.
On Sunday, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, released a nine-point plan. Was it a plan to grow the Iranian economy? A plan to modernize his nation or introduce greater political freedom? No. It was a plan to eliminate the state of Israel.
Obama has written repeated letters to Khamenei, including one last month, expressing his desire to establish better relations. At the same time a high-level Obama Administration official referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "chickensh-t."
It was easy for the West to dismiss Hitler's Mein Kampf as the rantings of a mad man, especially before he seized power. We have no excuses to ignore such threats today from the Hitler admirer Khamenei, who has power and is seeking the very weapons that would enable him to annihilate the Jewish state.
Yet negotiations over Iran's nuclear program continued as usual this week. There was no outrage over Khamenei's plan. American diplomats did not boycott the meetings in disgust. Silence reigned.
As you can imagine, these developments are astonishing and demoralizing to Israelis. How can fellow democracies beg the mullahs for a deal while Iran regularly reminds the world that its ultimate goal is the destruction of the state of Israel?
This is a very dangerous time, my friends, dangerous for Israel, the United States and peace.
National Cathedral Offers Prayers To Allah - This Friday prayers to Allah will be echoing throughout the Washington National Cathedral as this historic venue hosts its first Muslim prayer service. Organizers of the event hope it will promote tolerance and dialogue -- as if America is lacking in tolerance and dialogue. Anyone have any ideas on how to promote tolerance in Mecca, Damascus or Gaza?
I couldn't help being struck by the irony of this news coupled with headlines around the world. While the most recognizable church in Washington, if not all of America, welcomes Muslims, radical Islamists blew up a church in Syria dedicated to memorializing the slaughter of nearly 1.5 million Armenian Christians. Yesterday in Nigeria scores of schoolchildren were blown up by people who will also be offering noon time prayers to Allah.
As Islam advances all over the world, it treats Christians as second class citizens while radical Islamists tell them to convert or die. It converts churches into mosques to make it clear which faith is dominate.
While the Washington National Cathedral is a national symbol, it is part of the Episcopal Church, which is confused about a great many things, including God's institution of marriage. So it's no wonder they are confused about how to handle the Islamic revival that is sweeping the Middle East and Africa, leaving dead Christians and Jews in its wake.
Rather than fretting about Islamophobia in America, perhaps the folks at the National Cathedral should redouble their efforts to defend fellow believers around the world from jihad.

Iran is laughing at such as this. Smug as they associate equality by winning such a move. A cult of a pedophile who wrote by himself a description of how to take over a dominate with a union of religiosity and government in one.
