"RED FLAG" GUN CONTROL BILLS INTO LAW

Maryland – HB 1302 “Seize the Guns First, Ask Questions Later”

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Governor Hogan disregarded our veto requests and has signed the Handgun Permit Review Board Bill (HB 819) , and the “red flag” bill (HB 1302). As detailed in our veto letters to the Governor (the letter on HB 819 can be found HERE, and HB 1302 letter can be found HERE), both bills were bad, but the HB 1302 “red flag” bill was the worst.

Basically, under that bill as it became law, virtually anyone can ask a law enforcement officer to file an ex parte petition with a state district court judge or commissioner and allege that the gun owner poses an immediate danger to himself/herself or others because (and only because) he or she possesses firearms. If the court issues the order, the police can show up on the doorstep and seize the person’s firearms without notice or warning. HB 819 did not abolish the Board but added an additional layer of “de novo” review that allows either the applicant or the Maryland State Police to appeal the Board’s decision to the Office of Administrative Hearings for a new, de novo formal hearing before a state Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). That will give the MSP a second bite at the apple to appeal Board decisions they don’t like without going to court. Decisions of the ALJ can then be appealed to the court. The bill also creates new time deadlines for the Board and the ALJ to hear cases.

And that is not the only bad news. The General Assembly passed and Governor Hogan signed into law SB707 (found HERE). which purports to ban bump stocks and other so-called “Rapid Fire Trigger Activators”. We testified against that bill (that testimony can be found HERE). Our opposition and that of others did result in one significant amendment to the original bill, viz., the bill now makes clear that a Rapid Fire Trigger Activator does NOT include a

“SEMIAUTOMATIC REPLACEMENT TRIGGER THAT IMPROVES THE PERFORMANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY OVER THE STOCK TRIGGER.”

The original bill was also amended at the last minute to exempt from its ban existing owners “APPLIED TO THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS, AND EXPLOSIVES BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2018, FOR AUTHORIZATION TO POSSESS A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR” and “RECEIVED AUTHORIZATION TO POSSESS A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR FROM THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2019.”

We and others have checked and it seems the ATF will not accept any such requests for such “authorization.” – See HERE The ATF has confirmed the position in correspondence with MSI. So “Catch 22” for existing owners. The irony is rich, however, that this reality with the ATF also makes this new bump stock ban all the more open to legal attack under the Due Process Clause and the Takings Clauses of the Federal and Maryland Constitutions. Any legal attack on the red flag bill will have to await a case in which it is abused as only such persons will have the standing to challenge it in federal court. We are sure that this law will be abused in short order, just as similar gun seizure protective orders in domestic relations cases are often abused.

There is some good news in the bullets we managed to dodge this year at the General Assembly. For the second year running, the campus-carry ban (HB904) passed the House of Delegates but failed to become law when it was stranded in the Senate Rules Committee. We strongly opposed that bill (opposition found HERE). We also opposed HB 991 and its cross-filed twin, SB 1062 that would have banned the mere possession of any magazine that could hold more than 10 rounds. Under current law (MD Code Criminal Law Section 4-305), a person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer such magazines, but possession is not banned. We also opposed successfully, for the third year running, the attempt to ban the possession of black powder guns by disqualified persons (HB 402 and SB 448), pointing out that such a ban would be hopelessly ineffective given that such guns are not even considered to be firearms under federal law. Of course, it is an election year, so all of the good the bills never made it out of committee.

The sole exception was Senator Hough’s and Delegate Rey’s bills (HB 29 and SB 27) that would have allowed a person to file an application for a carry permit without first obtaining the expensive 16 hours of training. If that person received preliminary approval, the applicant could then get the training and the permit. That bill passed the Senate almost unanimously (Senator Ramirez being the sole nay vote), but then was “Christmas treed” in the House with non-germane amendments by antis, forcing the sponsors to abandon the effort.

We will try again next year. Not even the hardcore antis seriously oppose this “common sense” bill.

It is greatly frustrating that all the good bills that were submitted this year (and there were many) never made it out of committee.

DUBAI TO OPEN "QURAN PARK" SHOWCASING "MIRACLES" OF ISLAM

DUBAI TO OPEN "QURAN PARK" SHOWCASING "MIRACLES" OF ISLAM

What fun this will be!

I look forward to visiting the Apes and Pigs Pavilion, where Allah transforms disobedient Jews into those despised animals: “And well you know there were those among you [Jews] that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!’” (Qur’an 2:65). “Say: ‘People of the Book, do you blame us for any other cause than that we believe in Allah, and what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down before, and that most of you are ungodly?’ Say: ‘Shall I tell you of a recompense with Allah, worse than that? Whoever Allah has cursed, and with whom He is angry, and made some of them apes and swine, and worshippers of idols — they are worse situated, and have gone further astray from the right way.’” (Qur’an 5:59-60)

From there we can go on to the “Pretend to Be Friends to Infidels Pool,” where we can dive in and enjoy the warm water of a friendship and alliance that our Muslim friends entered into in order to protect themselves from us: “Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends, rather than the believers — for whoever does that belongs not to Allah in anything — unless you are doing it to guard yourselves against them.” (Qur’an 3:28)

After that, we’ll dry off and head over to the games. We can start with the Terror Toss. First one to cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers wins a plush teddy bear: “We will cast into the hearts of the unbelievers terror, because they have associated with Allah that for which He never sent down authority; their dwelling shall be the Fire; evil is the dwelling of the evildoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)

Then grab your tongs and Snag A Sex Slave! First one to pull three topless Barbie dolls out of the glass case can turn them in at the Main Office for your very own full-size (nine years old and up) real-life captive that your right hand possesses! “If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you will not be partial.” (Qur’an 4:3)

If you’re not happy with her, you can turn her in at the Beating Booth, where you can administer Islamic justice on her: “Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those from whom you fear disobedience, warn them; banish them to their couches; and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; Allah is All-high, All-great.” (Qur’an 4:34)

And if that doesn’t slake your thirst for righteousness, head over to Uraina Field, where you can join in a rousing game of Chase the Apostate. First one who catches him, well, you know what to do! “They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and kill them wherever you find them; do not take to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

Still eager to set the world right? I don’t blame you! Let’s head over to Chop ’em Circle, where we can take care of those who dare to “fight against Allah and his messenger”: “This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33) Oh, and thieves, too: “And the thief, male and female: cut off the hands of both, as a recompense for what they have earned, and a punishment exemplary from Allah; Allah is All-mighty, All-wise.” (Qur’an 5:38)

Then comes the crown and center of the theme park, Jihad Jamboree, where all paying (and praying) attendees over the age of 18 are issued swords and scimitars. Idolaters and People of the Book are bussed in especially for the occasion. But those crafty devils will be hiding (be sure to listen to the trees; they talk here, just like in Lord of the Rings!), so your work will be cut out for you before you can do any cutting of your own: “Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and arrest them, and besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5) “When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads…” (Qur’an 47:4)

Kids will enjoy collecting the jizya from the subjugated People of the Book: “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)

Qur’an Theme Park: it’s the best theme park in the world, because the reward is Paradise! “Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions; for that they shall have Paradise. They fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed…” (Qur’an 9:111)

And remember: if you meet any Infidels while browsing through the Qur’anic flora and fauna, you know how to act: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are ruthless against the unbelievers, merciful one to another.” (Qur’an 48:29)

Qur’an Theme Park: it’s nonstop fun for the whole family! There’s just one catch: you can’t leave.

“Dubai to open ‘Quran Park’ showcasing miracles of Islam,” Al Arabiya, May 8, 2018:

Dubai is set to open a “Quran Park” that will display plants mentioned in the holy book, as well as the miracles mentioned in the Islamic scripts.

While a date hasn’t been announced yet, Dubai officials have said entry to the park will be free.

Among the prominent features of the park are a Cave of Miracles and the Glass House.

Dawood Abdul Rahman Al Hajiri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, was quoted as saying by Gulf News: “Among the most important elements of the project is the Glass House containing the plants mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, which grow under certain temperatures and special environmental determinants, as well as shops selling herbs and plants mentioned in the Quran.”

The Cave of Miracles reportedly showcases seven miracles mentioned in the Quran displayed with the latest modern interactive techniques.

“The park also consists of 12 gardens containing the plants mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, with its scientific and medicinal benefits and uses, including bananas, pomegranates, olives, melons, grapes, figs, garlic, leeks, onions, corn, lentils, wheat, pond beans, ginger, tamarind, basil, pumpkins and cucumbers,” said Al Hajiri….

ISRAEL SPOTS "UNUSUAL ACTIVITY" FROM IRAN, READIES TROOPS FOR IMMINENT ATTACK

ISRAEL SPOTS "UNUSUAL ACTIVITY" 

FROM IRAN, READIES TROOPS FOR 

IMMINENT ATTACK

On the heels of Trump’s announcement of the highest level of “powerful” sanctions against Iran and that the Iran nuclear deal is off:

Local authorities in the Israeli-held Golan Heights have been ordered to “unlock and ready [bomb] shelters” in anticipation of an imminent attack.

The first media question asked after Trump’s announcement of the halt of the Iranian deal was “is the world a safer place?”

The clear and common-sense answer to that question is that the world could never be made a safer place by appeasing and kowtowing to enemies of freedom. That appeasement signals weakness to them, and enables them. No one enabled the Islamic Republic of Iran more than Barack Hussein Obama, who pumped billions into the mullahs’ coffers, enabling that rogue nation to step up its activities against Israel and other free countries.

“Israel spots ‘unusual activity’ from Iran and readies troops for imminent ATTACK”, by Joshua Nevett, Daily Star, May 8, 2018:

Local authorities in the Israeli-held Golan Heights have been ordered to “unlock and ready [bomb] shelters” in anticipation of an imminent attack.

“The IDF is ready and prepared for a variety of scenarios and warns that any action against Israel will be answered with a fierce retaliation,” The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

The warning about a potential strike came just moments before US President Donald Trump unveiled his decision to pull of the Iran nuclear deal.

On Monday, Iran’s army chief of staff warned that the regime would respond to any Israeli aggression when the time is right.

“If the enemy casts a covetous eye on our interests or conducts [even] a slight act of aggression, the Islamic Republic will give an appropriate response at an appropriate time,” General Mohammad Bagheri, state media Press TV reported.

Iran has vowed to take revenge on Israel for an airstrike on one of its military bases that killed seven people in April 9.

On Sunday, Israeli defense officials warned that Iran was planning to retaliate for recent deadly airstrikes in Syria.

The IDF said its defence forces in northern Israel have been put into a state of “high preparedness”.

Footage shows troops setting up the Iron Dome, Patriot, and Arrow missile defense systems.

Residents in the Golan Heights have been ordered to listen to security instructions…..

TURKEY BANS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMMEMORATION IN ISTANBUL, ARRESTS THREE PARTICIPANTS

TURKEY BANS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMMEMORATION IN ISTANBUL, 

ARRESTS THREE PARTICIPANTS 

BY ROBERT SPENCER

As I show in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (click here to preorder), the Armenian Genocide was abundantly documented at the time. Over a million and a half Armenians were killed. But the Turkish government has never admitted its role in the genocide, instead following the characteristic Islamic supremacist practice of denying responsibility for all wrongdoing and blaming the victims.

“Governorship Bans the Word ‘Genocide’; 1915 Commemoration Cancelled,” by Pınar Tarcan, BIA News, April 24, 2018:

The ceremony to be held at Sultanahmet Square in İstanbul today (April 24) to commemorate the ones who lost their lives in the Armenian Genocide of April 24, 1915 was cancelled.

The commemoration ceremony would be held by Human Rights Association (İHD) İstanbul Branch, Commission Against Racism and Discrimination and the European Grassroots Antiracist Movement (EGAM) at 12 p.m.

İstanbul Governorship’s request that the word “genocide” be removed from the statement to be read out during the commemoration was announced as the reason for the cancellation of the ceremony.

Three people have been detained

Three members of the İHD, Jiyan Tosun, Gamze Yaman and Leman Yurtsever, who were carrying the banner, have been taken into custody.

16 members of the European Parliament and İHD İstanbul Branch executives rejected the request of İstanbul Governorship regarding the removal of the word “genocide” from the statement….

The Armenian and Greek Genocides: 

What the Turkish government is covering up

BY ROBERT SPENCER

Recently three organizations, Human Rights Association (İHD) İstanbul Branch, Commission Against Racism and Discrimination, and the European Grassroots Antiracist Movement (EGAM) planned to hold a commemoration in Istanbul, honoring the victims of the Armenian Genocide of April 1915. The Turkish government, however, first demanded that the word “genocide” be removed from the statement that was going to be read out at the commemoration, and then, when this was refused, canceled the event altogether, and jailed three of its participants.

This draconian action was of a piece with the Turkish government’s longstanding and consistent denial that any genocide took place. Consistent with the usual Islamic supremacist practice of denying all responsibility for wrongdoing, the Turkish government continues to insist that neither the Ottomans nor the Kemalists bear any guilt for the eradication of the Armenian and Greek presence from Asia Minor — a presence that dated from time immemorial.

In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (click here to preorder), I reveal what Turkish authorities are so intent upon covering up, including:

• The British official who witnessed Armenians being “thrown upon their backs and their throats cut, after the manner in which sheep are sacrificed”
• Conservative estimates just from the initial wave of the Genocide: churches converted to mosques: 328. Churches plundered: 508. Christians forcibly converted to Islam: 15,000.
• “We made war on the Armenian unbelievers”: an Ottoman soldier’s enthusiastic letter home, vowing to “kill all the Armenians” in the town to which he was traveling
• The shocking reason why the Armenian Genocide was carried out: revealed by an Ottoman interior minister
• Ottoman official who declared: “we must finish off the Greeks as we did with the Armenians.…today I sent squads to the interior to kill every Greek on sight”
• The chilling Ottoman response to objections to the genocide by the Ambassador from the United States
• When the New York Times actually reported new: its warning that there would “soon be no more Christians in the Ottoman Empire”
• How Adolf Hitler used the Armenian Genocide as a template for his genocide of the Jews
• Much more

ANDY STANLEY, MEGACHURCH PASTOR, SAYS UNITY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEOLOGY

ECUMENICAL "UNITY" IS BUILDING THE ONE WORLD CHURCH OF HERESY & APOSTASY;

PAPAL UNIVERSALISM

ANDY STANLEY, MEGACHURCH PASTOR, SAYS UNITY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEOLOGY 

SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2018/05/01/megachurch-pastor-andy-stanley-says-unity-more-important-than-theology/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

In Ephesians 4:13 we learn that pastors and teachers are to equip the saints “until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” Paul admonishes believers to pursue unity in the faith. And we should have one goal — to bring glory to God.

Under no circumstances are Christians to unite in ministry with those who teach a false gospel. Yet for one reason or another, many Christians actually join hands and pray with apostates and cultists. (More on this topic here). For example, believers will partner with those who bless sexual acts forbidden by God as long as it’s for a “good cause.”

Is unity more important than theology — the study of God? Andy Stanley thinks it is, as you will see in Michael Gryboski’s piece below. But according to Tim Challies, understanding theology and doctrine is critical. He believes that Christians must “follow it, guard it, stand firm in it, and hand it on intact…not venture outside of it, for that is where faith becomes shipwrecked (1 Tim. 1:19–20).” Moreover, Christians will “resist its alternatives. They know this truth is entirely sufficient for life despite uncertainties and suffering. Later, of course, this truth was formulated into the Protestant principle of sola Scriptura.” (Source)

So, what should Christians be doing? Going about our business of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to any and all we encounter.

With this in mind, check out Gryboski’s report over at Christian Post, a site we do not endorse. He writes:

Church unity is more important than “theological correctness,” according to North Point Community Church Senior Pastor Andy Stanley at a conference with approximately 8,000 attendees.

At the Orange Conference, which focuses on issues of church leadership, Stanley spoke on Thursday about the importance of Christians of different denominations being “one” in their mission.

Stanley centered on John 17, in which Jesus prayed that His followers “may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me — so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

The influential author and speaker said that he found it significant that Jesus prayed for the disciples to be one, rather than for other things, including good health and being theologically accurate.

“He prayed for our oneness, that we’d be on the same page,” said Stanley. “This is mission critical. If they are not one, we will not win … unity is mission critical and disunity disrupts the mission.”

Stanley spoke of how he came to believe that believing in Jesus Christ was more important than theological arguments like how communion should be served or if babies should be baptized.

“Will we prioritize our oneness over our doctrinal peculiarities? Our baptism, our communion, our style of worship, our preaching?” he posed. Continue reading

VP MIKE PENCE SWEARS IN OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY WITH GAY "PARTNER" AT SIDE

VP MIKE PENCE SWEARS IN OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY WITH GAY "PARTNER" AT SIDE

BY HEATHER CLARK

SEE: https://christiannews.net/2018/05/06/vp-mike-pence-swears-in-openly-homosexual-ambassador-to-germany-with-partner-at-side/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence, a professing evangelical, swore in openly homosexual Richard Grenell as U.S. ambassador to Germany on Thursday, with the man’s partner standing by his side.

“Ric, I know you’ve got a lot of friends from many years here, but most importantly, you’ve got people that you cherish, and your family. I want to acknowledge your mother Judi, who’s with us today; your brothers, Jeff and Brad; your partner, Matt Lashey; and his parents, Dave and Nancy; and many others,” he said.

Lashey held the Bible while Grenell placed his hand upon it and repeated the oath, ending with “so help me God.”

Pence praised Grenell prior to administering the oath, which he said was his “great honor,” and told those gathered that President Trump also thinks highly of him.

“Those of you may have noticed that on his first day in the job, he joined President Trump and myself to welcome German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the White House for discussions on strengthening the historic partnership between our two nations,” he said.

“On that day, President Trump called you an ‘outstanding man,’ who will do a great job as our ambassador to Germany. And everyone gathered here, and people across this country, share that confidence and conviction,” Pence stated.

Grenell, formerly a U.N. spokesman and spokesman for 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, also delivered brief remarks, thanking the Trump administration for having faith in him, and acknowledging his mother and partner.

“Obviously, I have to thank my mom, who has been a great support through this whole time, and of course, Matt, who is—as everybody knows, if you know him–the world’s greatest person. So thank you for all of your support,” he said.

“Thank you, Mr. Vice President, and thank you, President Trump, for the faith that you both have put in me,” Grenell continued. “I will not let you down. And I’m ready to work hard.”

View the transcript in full here at WhiteHouse.gov.

As previously reported, while a number of homosexual advocates have been opposed to Pence in claiming that he is anti-homosexual, Pence defended the Trump administration in February 2017 in its decision to retain an Obama-era order banning groups that contract with the federal government from “discriminating” against homosexuals and transgenders in their business or non-profit organization.

“I think throughout the campaign, President Trump made it clear that discrimination would have no place in our administration,” Pence said during an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” according to a transcript of the discussion. “He was the very first Republican nominee to mention the LGBTQ community at our Republican National Convention and was applauded for it. And I was there applauding with him.”

He also rejected reports about his beliefs regarding “conversion therapy” as being “fake news” this past February, as he cheered openly homosexual figure skater Adam Rippon in his Olympic quest.

“@Adaripp I want you to know we are FOR YOU,” he wrote (caps in original.) “Don’t let fake news distract you. I am proud of you and ALL OF OUR GREAT athletes and my only hope for you and all of #TeamUSA is to bring home the gold. Go get ‘em!”

Proverbs 14:34 states, “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”

Proverbs 28:4 also says, “They that forsake the Law praise the wicked, but such as keep the Law contend with them.”

ILLINOIS SENATE VOTES TO REQUIRE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO TEACH ABOUT HOMOSEXUALS IN NATIONAL & STATE HISTORY

Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago

ILLINOIS SENATE VOTES TO REQUIRE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO TEACH ABOUT HOMOSEXUALS IN NATIONAL & STATE HISTORY 

BY HEATHER CLARK

SEE: https://christiannews.net/2018/05/05/illinois-senate-votes-to-require-public-schools-to-teach-about-homosexuals-in-national-state-history/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois Senate has advanced a bill that would require public schools to teach children about homosexuals and transgenders in national and state history. The legislation is opposed by at least one family group in the state.

S.B. 3249 cleared the Senate 34-18 on Wednesday, and now moves to the House for consideration.

“In public schools only, the teaching of history shall include a study of the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this state,” the bill reads.

It also states that “[t]extbooks authorized to be purchased … must include the roles and contributions of all people protected under the Illinois Human Rights Act.”

Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, who sponsored the legislation, told reporters that she believes the requirement would teach students to be more accepting of homosexuals and transgenders.

“By teaching students an inclusive curriculum, Illinois classrooms will promote acceptance and a more accurate portrayal of history,” she told the State Journal-Register. “LGBT students also will learn about people who had some similar qualities to them and became historical role models.”

However, the Illinois Family Institute says that while students should be taught to be respectful to others, public schools shouldn’t be normalizing certain lifestyles in children’s minds contrary to their family’s values.

“It is well known that the controversies of the transgender and homosexual movements are in direct contradiction to the clear Judeo-Christian beliefs of many in Illinois,” Ralph Rivera wrote to legislators. “Schools should teach that we should be respectful of each student and each person. This is what we all agree on. However, schools should not be used to advocate for lifestyles that are against the religious values of the students and parents.”

“The left’s motive is what it always is: It is to normalize homosexuality,” spokeswoman Laurie Higgins also told the Associated Press.

If passed, Illinois would be the second state to require schools to include homosexual history in their curriculum. California signed the Fair Education Act into law in 2012.

Read the bill in full here.

Some Christians believe that ongoing concerns in public schools serve as all the more reason for parents to homeschool.

“Throughout Israel’s history, God ordained that thousands upon thousands of Israelite parents teach their children at home in Israel. The only time that did not happen was when they had no choice and their children were taken from them,” wrote Matthew and Ellen Gerwitz in 2014 on the “IndoctriNation” film website.

“Education is just one tool in the hands of the Creator who ultimately decides the direction every life will take. Parents who voluntarily choose to allow Egypt or Babylon to educate their children when they still have the freedom to educate them according to God’s mandate are without excuse,” they said.

YOUNG "IDENTITARIAN" EUROPEAN ANTI-IMMIGRANT MOVEMENT RISES TO DEFEND AGAINST ISLAMIZATION 

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/young-identitarian-european-anti-immigrant-movement-rises-to-defend-against-islamization; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

Across Europe from Ireland to Slovenia, groups of young people are mobilizing against migration. A growing “identitarian” movement, led by mostly smart and tech-savvy young men, is attracting attention in its efforts to “stop and reverse” the flow of migrants from the South.

Expect more such groups to arise in Europe — including some groups that are unfortunately not so peaceful — as a reaction to the fact that government leaders have abandoned their duties to protect the citizenry.

One of the “Generation Identity” group members stated:

We have tried to show that if we want, we can stop them because the government doesn’t want really to stop them. If 100 boys and girls of Europe can build a border, why can’t the government?“

Generation Identity has been reportedly sending its members “to military-style training camps abroad.”

What unites these groups ideologically is a belief that Europe is facing a “great replacement” by Muslim and African immigrants. And they want something done about it.

These groups are being made out by some to be “bigots,” “white supremacists” and “right-wing extremists.” Since the establishment media uses such terms of everyone who opposes jihad terror and mass Muslim migration, it is hard to tell where these groups really stand and if they really are racists and bigots. But whatever they are, the more the governments of Europe stigmatize, demonize and marginalize legitimate and peaceful opposition to their migration policies, the more they will end up radicalizing their foes. As John F. Kennedy said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” The responsibility for this lies with the European governments.

“The push from Europe’s young new right”, by Marion MacGregor, Infomigrants, May 4, 2018:

Across Europe from Ireland to Slovenia, groups of young people are mobilizing against migration. A growing “identitarian” movement, led by mostly smart and tech-savvy young men, is attracting attention in its efforts to “stop and reverse” the flow of migrants from the South.

In their bright blue jackets, the group of young men and women stands out against the Alpine landscape. Their reason for traveling here is emblazoned on the two helicopters they have brought with them – to “Defend Europe”.

In April, a hundred people calling themselves Generation Identity (GI) activists traveled to the Col de l’Echelle near Briancon, with the aim of “blocking the path for illegal migrants.” Armed with posts and orange plastic mesh, they erected a fence on the border where hundreds of people continue to cross each month on foot from Italy into France.

One of the activists told DW’s Inside Europe reporter, “We have tried to show that if we want, we can stop them because the government doesn’t want really to stop them. If 100 boys and girls of Europe can build a border, why can’t the government?“

These are members of Europe’s new young right-wing movements which seem to be gaining popularity. They come in many shades and under different benign-sounding labels: illiberal and identitarian, ultra-right, new-right and alt-right (alternative right) after the movement which achieved stardom in the United States during the last election campaign.

The new youth right has even been described as alt-right hipsters, because of their young, cool, and tattooed image. Many, like Generation Identity in Austria, led by the camera-friendly Martin Sellner, reject the labels neo-nazi, racist or xenophobic. He also says Generation Identity is non-violent, and like many of the other right-wing young groups, it has no business with far-right political parties.

What unites these groups ideologically is a belief that Europe is facing a “great replacement” by Muslim and African immigrants. And they want something done about it.

Across Europe, there are too many new (and old) right-wing groups to name. Some are banned, like Germany’s “White Wolf Terror Crew,” whose members were responsible for carrying out and plotting attacks against refugees. Nowhere on the proscribed lists are the new right groups like GI, which combine clever use of social media and YouTube with occasional flash mob type stunts, most of them within the law.

One of the first of these was in 2012 when Generation Identitaire in France occupied a mosque in Poitiers, a city that’s historically linked with resistance to Islam.

In August 2016, a group of Generation Identity Germany (IBD) activists climbed the Brandenburg gate in the capital and draped it with a huge banner that read “Secure borders – secure future.”

The same year, the Austrians traveled to the Mediterranean, where they tried to stop rescue boats from bringing immigrants to Europe in a “Greenpeace-style” action.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing?

With their slick social media campaigns, which even include merchandise, the new right looks different, but no less worrying, according to Dr Britta Schellenberg, who writes about right-wing radicalism in Europe. Schellenberg is concerned about what she says is a dangerous combination of intellectual right-wing radicalism with activism.

“We see people who are more into violent action, including symbolic violent action. They threaten NGOs … and on the other hand, they are very well-connected digitally, through social media.”..>>
