1. Last Foreign Correspondent Expelled (Eritrea)
On September 9, the last foreign correspondent in Eritrea, Jonah Fisher, who
worked with BBC and Reuters, was expelled from the country without
explanation. According to Fisher, three weeks earlier, Information Minister
Ali Abdu Ahmed had criticized his "racist negative reporting," saying that
he "knew who I really worked for." In the past, Eritrea has accused
journalists of being foreign spies and jailed them for "national security"
reasons.
Fisher had frequently been critical of the human rights violations in
Eritrea, including a May 24 article entitled for the London daily, "The
Independent," "To some Eritreans, freedom means prison and torture"
(http://www.sudantribune.com/article.php3?id_article=3048). There has been
no independent press in the country since September 2001 and at least
fourteen Eritrean journalists are in prison.
Hundreds of Christians are presently in prison in Eritrea because of their
faith. We encourage Christians around the world to pray for their brothers
and sisters who are suffering for their faith, often without a voice to let
the world know. The Eritrean government has repeatedly and vehemently
denied that anyone is in prison for religious reasons.

4. Islamic Sect Attacks Christian Villagers (Nigeria)
A militant Islamic sect, which has been terrorizing Christians in northern
Nigeria for several months, attacked numerous villages on September 20,
burning homes, killing a number of people, including four police officers,
and kidnapping seven Christians. According to the September 27 report from
Compass Direct, the group known as the Talibans attacked police stations in
the towns of Bama and Gwoza, in Borno State. As they retreated, they burned
several villages, raping, plundering and killing anyone they perceived as
enemies of Islam. According to police, several of the militants were killed
following the attacks and five have been arrested in neighbouring Cameroon.
Pray for safety for Christians in Nigeria, facing such attacks. Pray that
the authorities will be able to stop these groups. Pray for peace in
Nigeria.

5. Church Closed (Turkey)
On the evening of September 24, police in Bodrum, Turkey sealed the doors of
the Bodrum Grace Church, reportedly on orders from the governor of Bodrum.
Giving no reason for the closure, the police also confiscated all church
signage.
According to the pastor, Engin Duran, several people gathered at the church
building on Sunday morning, including some tourists. Four police officers
were there to prevent any service from taking place. Later that day,
eighteen people met at the pastor's home. The next day, the pastor met with
the governor who acknowledged that he had ordered the church closed and
refused to rescind that order, saying that the church could take him to
court. The closest church is in Ephesus, which is 3.5 hours away.
The church is uncertain what to do at this point, since they are not in the
position to hire a lawyer. Even if they were to go to court, the church
would remain closed for at least three months. The pastor is concerned that
continuing to meet in his home would cause problems with the landlord.
Pray for wisdom for this church. Pray that the Gospel of Christ will not be
hindered, but that the message will continue to spread in the midst of this
adversity.

Vanhimmat
muslimit tekevät Jumalan tekoja? Samaan yhteen ja ainoaan kaikkivaltiaaseen Jumalaanhan muslimit katsovat uskovansa, kuin mihin kristityt ja juutalaisetkin katsovat uskovansa.
Sinusta en oikein tiedä, mihin herraan itse uskot. Jos niin sanoakseni hedelmistään puu tunnetaan.l
sinusta on käynyt ilmi että sinä et tunnusta Jeesusta Kristusta Jumalan poikaa Herraksesi, minä tunnustan ja tunnustan myös sen että muhammed ei ole Raamatun mukaan mikään muu kuin yksi antikristuksista:
2:22 Kuka on valhettelija, ellei se, joka kieltää sen, että Jeesus on Kristus? Hän on antikristus, se, joka kieltää Isän ja Pojan.
2:23 Kuka ikinä kieltää Pojan, hänellä ei ole Isääkään. Joka tunnustaa Pojan, hänellä on myös Isä.
edelleenkään muslimit eivät tunnusta Jeesusta Kristusta Jumalan Pojaksi joten heillä ei ole Isääkään, toiseksi emme siis Raamattuun uskovat kristityt usko samaan Jumalaan kuin muslimit vaikka sinä haluaisit sitä kuinka täällä liberalisoida, meidän uskomme on tässä :
1Joh.
4:13 Siitä me tiedämme pysyvämme hänessä ja hänen pysyvän meissä, että hän on antanut meille Henkeänsä.
4:14 Ja me olemme nähneet ja todistamme, että Isä on lähettänyt Poikansa maailman Vapahtajaksi.
4:15 Joka tunnustaa, että Jeesus on Jumalan Poika, hänessä Jumala pysyy, ja hän Jumalassa.
ja
5:10 Joka uskoo Jumalan Poikaan, hänellä on todistus itsessänsä; joka ei usko Jumalaa, tekee hänet valhettelijaksi, koska hän ei usko sitä todistusta, jonka Jumala on todistanut Pojastansa.
5:11 Ja tämä on se todistus: Jumala on antanut meille iankaikkisen elämän, ja tämä elämä on hänen Pojassansa
tunnustatko sinä että Jeesus on Jumalan poika, jos näin tunnustat olet koraanin mukaan harhaoppinen ja matkalla helvettiin eli kristittyjen Jumala ei ole allahi, allah on Jumalan pojan kieltäjä eli antikristuksen hengen tuotos eli isä perkele. Jeesus on minun Herrani kuka on sinun Herrasi Aabraham voitko kertoa?
http://www.kuran.gen.tr/html/fince/002.php3
Aloitan JUMALAN, laupiaan Armahtajan, nimeen.

139. Sano (Pyhät kirjoitukset omaaville): »Kiistelittekö kanssamme Jumalasta, kun hän on sekä meidän Herramme että teidän Herranne? Meillä on omat tekomme ja teillä on omat tekonne, ja me turvaudumme Häneen vilpittömästi.»
140. Vai sanotteko: »Aabraham, Ismael, Iisak ja jaakob ja Israelin sukukunnat olivat totisesti joko juutalaisia tai kristittyjä?» Sano: »Kumpi tietää paremmin, te vai Jumala? Ja kuka on väärämielisempi kuin se, joka salaa todistuksen, jonka on saanut Jumalalta? Eikä Jumala ole välinpitämätön siitä, mitä te teette.»
141. Se sukupolvi on siirtynyt pois. Se on saanut, mitä oli ansainnut; te saatte, mitä te ansaitsette. Ettekä te joudu vastaamaan siitä, mitä he tekivät.
Uskontunnustuksesi, joka näkyy nimimerkistäsi, ja itsellesi vieraan uskonnon herjaamisesi, jolla osoitat uskonnollista vakaumustasi, eivät erityisemmin kiehdo.
Koraani on sielunvihollisen saatanan hengestä syntynyt kirja. Siinäpä teille hengellisyyttä.
Kiina ja Taiwan ovat ajautumassa näemmä sotaan, MTV3:n uutisten mukaan 01.10.2004. Taiwan on uhkaillut Kiinaa itsenäisyyspyrkimysten takia ampumaan ohjuksilla Kiinaa vastaan, jos Kiina käyttää voimansa Taiwania vastaan. Nämä ohjukset ovat tuotu Amerikasta, joiden arvo on 18 miljardia dollaria. Näin Amerikka korvaa tappionsa hirmumyrskyjen aiheuttamista tuhoista...
Bush on hyväksynyt lain, jossa muslimeja voidaan karkottaa Amerikan maasta sellaiseen maahan, jossa heidät todennäköisesti kidutettaisiin. CIA on jo tehnyt näitä toimenpiteitä. Monet muslimeista eivät ole edes terroristeja, vain epäiltyjä ja silti he joutuvat kärsimään siitä, että he ovat muslimeja. Tämäkin MTV3:n uutisista...
Katso, Allah on Näkevä ja Todistaja
Eikös se ole Allahin tahto että Taiwan saa puolustaa itseään?
Allahin tahto toteutuu aina, joten mitä väärää Yhdysvallat tekee karkottaessaan terroriepäiltyjä? Et kai horju uskossasi Allahin viisauteen, kun hän kerran on päättänyt noista karkotuksista jo etukäteen?
Miksi islaminuskoiset eivät tee parannusta eli luovu inhottavasta väkivaltauskonnostaan?
