Video: Chavez urged Shiites' 12th Imam to 'come sooner'

Mar. 9, 2013 - A video recording of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2009 shows that he had a strange blend of belief in the Second Coming of Christ (He was a Catholic), and the coming of the Shiite Muslims’ 12th Imam. He was influenced by the beliefs of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the video he said,

“Quds (Jerusalem) is a holy place for all of us Christians. I spoke with Ahmadinejad about the day that Islam’s Quran says both (Mahdi and Christ) will return. Jesus, holding hands with the 12th Imam."

He added that he hoped they would hasten their return.

How Should Christian Satellite Networks Evangelize to Muslims?

Jan. 10, 2013 - The "Innocence of Muslims" film that caused riots in Egypt last year has stimulated debate among Christian broadcasters about the right way to reach out to Muslims. Terence Ascott, CEO and founder of SAT-7, the evangelical satellite channel that airs broadcasts from Cairo to Beirut explains their policy:

"Exposing the faults of another person's belief system is best done face to face in love. To do it through a broadcast can often lead to a negative reaction by viewers, and... local Christians and churches then pay the price."

There are other broadcasters who use their satellite programs to expose Islamic error. The debate continues.

Egyptian mag affirms Brotherhood infiltration of White House

Jan. 4, 2013 - The Dec. 22 edition of Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine claimed that six Muslim Brotherhood operatives are working in the Obama administration and have significant influence on U.S. policy. The article says that this fact has turned the White House...

“...from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The article lists the names and positions of the six influential people.

After World War I the Ottoman Turkish empire was disbanded, but the Muslim Brotherhood was soon formed for the purpose of destroying Western civilization and making Islam "victorious over all other religions.”
