State Department purges report of Muslim atrocities against Christians

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. State Department removed the sections covering religious freedom from the Country Reports on Human Rights that it released on May 24, three months past the statutory deadline Congress set for the release of these reports.

The new human rights reports--purged of the sections that discuss the status of religious freedom in each of the countries covered--are also the human rights reports that include the period that covered the Arab Spring and its aftermath.

Thus, the reports do not provide in-depth coverage of what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East that saw the rise of revolutionary movements in 2011 in which Islamist forces played an instrumental role.

Winston Churchill on Islam

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism (Islam) lays on its votaries (faithful)! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia (rabies) in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan (Islamic) law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism (Islam) is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

US Department of State Deputy Secretary William J. Burns Contacts Terry Jones as DEADLINE Looms

At 6:30pm last evening, April 24th, Dr Terry Jones received a phone call from US Department of State Deputy Secretary William J. Burns.


Terry Jones' response to Burns was:

 In order for us to consider postponing our April 28th event, the World Wide Burning of Korans and Images of Mohammad, we are asking for one of two events to occur.
One would be the immediate release of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Iranian Prison.
The other would be a meeting between US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Dr Terry Jones to discuss the plight of Christians, women and minorities in Muslim/Koran dominated countries. After the meeting with Mrs Clinton they would give a joint Press Conference revealing the content of the discussion.

Here is video footage of Jones in from of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn Mi where PPSIMMONS sent a camera crew to capture the event.

MAYHEM IN DEARBORN! - Terry Jones - April 7/2012 - VIDEO!

He said he would come and sure enough - he did. Terry Jones is the senior pastor of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainsville, Florida, the author of book Islam Is of the Devil, and a 2012 Independent presidential candidate.

When we heard he was heading north to protest in front of the largest mosque in America we thought it might be great to pack up our cameras and head on down to capture the event. So that's what we did.

When we arrived we were greeted by a strong police presence. Dozens of local and state police were on the scene along with police dogs. The local media was there already; having arrived moments before we did - around 1245 pm.

There was a group of people, from all races and genders, yelling obscenities into the air: "Racists - bigots - shut em down! Dearborn doesn't f**k around" was the chant. Making the charge that being against creeping sharia law in America is "racist" caused us to ponder what level of education the protesters had since being Islamic or Muslim has nothing to do with race because anyone can be a Muslim. That was one of my personal observations.

Dr Jones was scheduled to speak at 1300 in front of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Mi and yet the police had us blocked off several hundred feet from the property. Finally they began checking id's - media credentials and such. We showed them our official PPSIMMONS i.d. and were allowed in with the rest - local FOX News, etc.

In this video you will see some of the protests, you will hear Pastor Jones explain that Muslims are liars, that he doesn't hate Muslims, and that he is not a "racist" because Islam is not a race.

Following this, Pastor Jones went through his material, explaining with the help of his associate pastor why he is doing the event, how it affects the country as a whole, and why it is vital that freedom-loving Americans everywhere stand up for the constitution of the United States. Jones explained that the support of Islamic rituals (i.e. footbaths, special sport practice times for Muslims etc) in schools is actually in contravention of the "support no religion" clause in the constitution (1st amendment) which reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

In this video we see Jones explain why he and his associates openly carry a firearm everywhere they go. He said he has a bounty on his head worth over a million dollars and has documented more than 300 death threats including those related to being at this event.

Finally here is the entire footage we took of the event.

BREAKING - Florida Pastor Gets Permit to Protest In Muslim Controlled Dearborn Mi

Today Dearborn has approved the permit for the TERRY JONES SHARIA PROTEST, Dearborn MI, April 7, 2012 1-3pm, in front of the Islamic Center of America.

On April 7th Dr. Terry Jones and Stand Up America Now will be in front of the Islamic Center of America to expose Sharia in America. Dr. Jones and others will give facts and address issues how and where Islam has forced it's beliefs and rituals upon the communities in America. Join us on April 7th and stand up for your rights and the future of your children and grandchildren.

Florida Pastor to Confront Islamic Center in Dearborn, MI

Florida Pastor Terry Jones, according to a press release from his office, will appear in Dearborn Mi this Saturday April 7 to protest the apparent sharia law creeping into the culture of that area. The press release reads in part:

Islam is the greatest threat to our national security. The Muslim community refuses to integrate, instead they demand and push their religion, their rituals, upon us and upon our society.

Dearborn is a prime example of this along with many others around the nation. Below is a list of examples of how the Muslim community is trying to push their agenda upon us with the help of organizations such as CAIR and MSA, with the help of political correctness, with the help of people who are unwilling to actually take a stand. As Islam continues to push its agenda using threats, parts of America are beginning to give in. Changes are being made at the expense of taxpayers.

The special menus that are being provided at schools in Dearborn are costing taxpayers $228,000 every year. The special foot washing basins that are being installed in airports around America are costing as much as $100,00 each. This must be stopped. This cannot be tolerated. America how long will you allow yourself to be abused by the Muslim community? We, at Stand Up America Now, have in the past voiced our disagreement and disgust with these and many other issues. We shall continue.

On April 7, we will be in Dearborn, Michigan in front of the Islamic Center of America to take a stand for America.

1. During the month of August which is Ramadan (a month of fasting and prayer), Fordson High School holds football practices from midnight to 4am in order to satisfy the religious requirements of Islam.

2. 11 years ago Dearborn schools introduced a pilot program offering halal meats at a school building. Today, the program has grown— with more than half of Dearborn’s 32 schools offering halal options for Muslim students. In Dearborn Public Schools, some schools have Arab-American student populations of 90 percent or more.

Providing a halal menu in Dearborn does incur additional cost. Halal meats are 30 percent more expensive than typical meat. The district established a contract with a Dearborn grocer to provide halal meat, costing taxpayers $228,000.

Dearborn schools prepare five different menus each day.

1. normal menu

2. halal menu

3. halal without nuts

4. partial halal

5. peanut free

Dearborn's halal meals also means more money spent on staff to prepare, organize and store the meals.

3. Footbaths in State-Funded Colleges

University of Michigan in Dearborn installed two foot baths which cost taxpayers $100,000.

Minneapolis Community and Technical College has a policy that “strictly prohibits religious displays”, and have warned against any public display that may promote any particular religion. The college received threats saying the college will be bombed if we refuse to build this facility. The college used taxpayer funds to install facilities for Muslim ritual foot-washing.

George Washington University in Washington D.C., Boston University and University of Toledo in Ohio, Eastern Michigan University have installed foot baths.

4. Footbaths in Airports

The Indianapolis Airport and KCI Airport in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Kansas City International Airport added several foot-washing basins in restrooms to accommodate a growing number of Muslim taxicab drivers. There are approximately 250 taxicab drivers operating at KCI Airport in Missouri, one of the largest airports in the U.S. Approximately 70 percent of the drivers are of Middle Eastern heritage and practice Islam.

Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix provides prayer rugs and footbaths.

5. Muslims demand prayer breaks and other privileges of privately owned companies.

2008 ~ JBS Swift & Co. in Greeley, Colorado 100 Somali Muslim workers were fired after they did not report to work in protest of Swift's refusal to give them a prayer break during the holy month of Ramadan. The company was sued by the EEOC for religious discrimination.

2008 ~ approximately 250 Somalian Muslim workers at the Tyson, Inc. Shelbyville, Tennessee plant demanded that the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr be added as a paid holiday while Labor Day was removed as a paid holiday.

2008 ~ A Muslim teacher in suburban Chicago, who had been employed less than one year, requested three weeks of unpaid leave to go on a Hajj to Mecca, Saudi Arabia . Her request was denied because it did not meet the requirements of the union contract which gave uniform standards for leave that applied to all employees. The teacher then quit her job and filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The United States Department of Justice filed a complaint on behalf of the teacher which accused the school district of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The school board was ordered to pay the teacher $75,000 to cover lost back pay, compensatory damages, and court costs.

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers cannot deny a "reasonable" religious accommodation request as long as it does not pose an undue hardship, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

2011 ~ In Seattle, Washington, 35 Hertz-Rent-A-Car employees demanded to be paid for prayer breaks. Hertz had already allowed the prayer breaks with pay until the Muslim workers began taking advantage of the company's generosity and did not return to work in a timely fashion.

2011 ~ The Cargill meat packing plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado produces 4 million pounds of beef daily and accommodates the vast majority of daily prayer requests by the roughly 500 Muslim employees. Cargill created two large gender-segregated reflection rooms with prayer rugs for Muslims to fulfill their daily prayer routine while at work. The company even sought the advice of Somali leaders to be certian that the workers' needs were being met. Muslims pray five times a day at times that are determined by the sun's position. This is an extreme hardship for companies with many Muslim workers. Federal workplace-discrimination complaints filed by Muslims shot up in 2009 and 2010, to almost 800 each year according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

2011 ~ 22 Islamic workers and Dianne's Gourmet Desserts, a Le Center, Minnesota, subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Co.'s foodservice operations claim they were fired and forcibly removed from the premises for saying their Friday evening prayers. The company had established new break times and the Friday evening prayers did not concide with the Islamic prayer times. Le Center has two prayer rooms for employees where the workers were "to take prayer breaks as a special accommodation to the requirements of their faith.

Muslim scholars agree that obligatory prayers can be made up at a later time. If an employee is not able to take a break for prayer times, then the prayers can be made up at a later time.

The Muslim Student Association of America has created it's Political Action Task Force after several MSA chapters did not react adequately enough, according to the MSA, to U.S. and international policital situations. The MSA includes leaders such as Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda cleric linked to terror plots from Fort Hood to Times Square and others, Omar Hammami, a leader of the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia, Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was national president of the MSA during the 1980s, was al Qaeda's top fundraiser in America and is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence, Ramy Zamzam before convicted in Pakistan for attempting to join the Taliban and kill American troops. The MSA is well-known as an "incubator" of Islamic radicalism and has deep roots in the Muslim Brotherhood whose goal is to establish Islamic Sharia worldwide.

According to the MSA's Political Action Task Force (PATF) section on the University of Michigan ~ Dearborn's web site, it declares to stage rallies, protests, and teach-ins to spearhead a united political movement.

Presidential Candidate Terry Jones Requesting Meeting with Islamic Republic of Iran President Ahmadinejad - OR ELSE!

Presidential Candidate Terry Jones Requesting Meeting with Islamic Republic of Iran President Ahmadinejad

Terry Jones Calls for World Wide Burning of Korans and Images of the Prophet Muhammad on Saturday, APRIL 28th, 5pm ET, if Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has not been released by that time.

Stand Up America Now and Terry Jones, is requesting a meeting with the Iranian President Ahmadinejad concerning the release of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.

They believe this meeting is in the best interest of the United States and the Islamic world. In order to avoid a worldwide protest that will take place April 28th at 5pm, if Pastor Youcef is not released. This event, the worldwide burning of Korans & images of Muhammad, could result in violence breaking out in the Islamic world.

Rick Warren - "I'm NOT a Freemason!"

We hate rumors and gossip. Generally speaking it's always best to get the facts from the source. That's not to say the source can always be trusted but it is important to get as much information as we can from the source, compare it with the facts on the ground, how the source acts in public, and what the source says in relation to how it acts and who owns the microphone and/or camera.

So we fired off an e-mail to the Warren camp about allegations that Rick Warren is a Freemason. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization which conflates many of the world's religions and philosophy into one ideology including Islam and Christianity.

Many people assumed Rick Warren is a Freemason because of his push to include Muslim groups in his "ministry" outreach to bring about a "common good", calling Muslims his "brothers". See our article outlining the evidence for this here.

So there's really no question Rick Warren has crossed a few lines here. He is promoting the idea that Muslims, who the Bible calls "cursed" and who clearly qualify as "unequally yoked" when Christians seek to unite with them, can be "good" people who Christians should be willing to work with to promote a better world.

So it's no wonder people are making the assumption Warren is a Freemason, yet, he doesn't have to be so in order for Warren to hold his views. Barack Obama is not a Freemason and he holds very similar syncretic views. So we sent off an email to the Warren camp and received a response.

PPSIMMONS -

Dear Sir...

Can you confirm or deny rumors that you are a member of the freemasons?

Thank you.

Michael D. Shoesmith

Social Networking Director

PPSIMMONS Ministries

Linda Black, Representative for Rick Warren -

Dear Michael,

Pastor Rick is NOT a member/attender of the freemasons. This is a RUMOR.

Thanks for coming to us for the truth.

Blessings,

Linda

Well there it is. Warren is emphatically "NOT" a Freemason according to his rep. It makes sense that he would not be a Freemason. We are pursuing this matter however. We have responded with questions about Warren's membership in the CFR and asked about his reference to Muslims as his "brothers". Stay tuned.

Rick Warren's Response to Criticism CONFIRMS THE CRITICISM

A few people were concerned about our recent article on Rick Warren and his ties to Islam, the CFR, the Bilderbergs et al. Some even received a response from a member of Warren's church - Saddleback. It was a personal letter from Rick dated Mar 2 to his staff... and we have a copy of it.

In it, Warren defends himself by pasting the transcript to an interview he participated in with Brandon A. Cox & Christian Post. In it he says what he guesses will be all the right christianese answers - love, respect, bring people to Jesus - the typical jargon. Yet near the middle of the interview he drops a stunner that was completely ignored by the interviewer.

QUESTION: Why do you think people who call themselves Christians sometimes say the most hateful things about Muslims?

What "hateful" things could he possibly be referring to? That unless they repent they will burn for eternity in a lake of fire? No wait - that was Jesus. Could it be that we say things like - the vast, vast majority of terrorist acts done in the world are done in the name of Allah? What "hateful" things could the interviewer be talking about? Nonetheless read Warren's response to the question:

WARREN: Well, some of those folks probably aren’t really Christians. 1 John 4:20 says, “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” And 1 John 2:9 says “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.” I am not allowed by Jesus to hate anyone. Our culture has accepted two huge lies: The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.

That is amazing! Not "really" Christian? The rest of his answer completely boggles the mind. Without any ambiguity whatsoever Warren declares Muslims to be our brothers. He has actually confirmed the entire body of criticism against him within a single paragraph.

Please read our in-depth coverage of Warren including video footage of his entire ISNA speech here.

Rick Warren - Where He Went Wrong - Why it Matters

(Image - wonkette.com)

In order to understand Rick Warren's current policies one must travel back in time; specifically to October 1 2002 and the release of his book "Purpose Driven Life".

I was asked to purchase a copy of Warren's book in order to review it for an acquaintance. I got as far as a single sentence in the introduction, put the book in the garbage, and told my friend to get someone else. The sentence which I found so utterly revolting was "Jesus was 'empowered' by his forty day fast".

In my book "Fast Track to Freedom" I go into great detail about this; more detail than I can afford to now. Essentially, however, we see a very different 'Jesus' proposed by Warren than the one described in scripture. Warren quoted from the account in Matthew 4 which certainly neglects to grant us the full picture. If we include the account from Luke 4 we see that Jesus was NOT 'empowered' by the fast. He powered THROUGH it!

This no trivial matter. Whenever we speak or teach anything about Jesus without a proper understanding of WHO Jesus is we are in danger of falling exponentially into further error. The full account actually teaches that Jesus was already FULL of the Holy Spirit. It is important to understand that Jesus did not receive power from the fast but rather, like I said, he went through it under full power, like an ice-breaker powering through frozen seas, Jesus accomplished under the same circumstances that which Adam did not - he beat the Devil with the WORD. Adam could have simply quoted the Word of God to the serpent and that would have been the end of the matter. Yet Jesus came along thousands of years later and showed us all how to do it. We defeat the enemy under the power of the Holy Spirit using the Word of God. Like a lion in a cage it needs no defending. Simply open the cage - it will defend itself.

This brings us to today; ten years later. And now we see on full display that which I predicted ten years ago – a full departure from the teachings of scripture on the true identity of Jesus.

In his typical liberal fashion, Pastor Warren has joined a movement known as King’s Way. The movement’s goal is to bring Christians and Muslims together without either group trying to proselytize or convert the other. This is a direct disobeying of orders from Jesus Himself who commanded us to covert (offer the adoption as sons to the lost) and baptize.

As part of this effort, Warren announced that he wants to create a set of principles that both evangelical Christians and Muslims could agree to in the effort to bring churches and mosques closer together. One of those principles is that we both worship the same God. In other words, God and Allah are one in the same deity.

Yet in one of the teaching videos on the PPSIMMONS youtube channel we clearly display the truth about the Allah/God/Jesus differentiation. Watch for yourself.

This brings us to the difference between the Jesus spoken of in the Q’uran and the Jesus plainly taught in the Bible. And this also brings us to how Rick Warren found himself and his faith coming unglued and derailed. They are two different persons. Like the difference between the Jesus (hayzus) who tends bar in Mexico city (Jesus being a popular name in Mexico) and Jesus of Nazareth (Jeshua Messiah). But why, again, is this so grave a matter? Simply put, unless we believe that Jesus is who He SAID he was, we will die in our sins!

“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”

John 8:24

Jesus was, and still is, God. He was God with us. He was God who became flesh. He was God who took upon Himself the sins of the world. Jesus Christ is perfect theology. As long as we believe He is who He said he is, we receive His payment for our sins and receive eternal life as adopted sons into the Kingdom. It is that simple.

Yet the Muslims believe, as Rick Warren does, in a different Jesus; in a different God. The Islamic “faith” teaches Jesus did not die for anyone’s sins and He was not God. They believe Jesus was just another prophet like Mohammed. In the eyes of the Muslim, no one’s sins are paid for… and that teaching is from the pit of hell.

We were warned about the false teachers and false doctrines that would spring up in the last days. It all begins, at least for Rick Warren and let’s face it, for practically every other cult out there, with the identity of Jesus.

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

John 8:58

UPDATE -

Rick Warren attempted to deflect criticism of his attempt to unite the Muslims and Christians under "Chrislam" in an article/interview he posted himself... the very transcript of the interview lest we be confused about his intent. In this interview he actually says Muslims are our "brothers", further cementing the fears we all know are based on reality since he released "The Purpose Driven Life". From Warren's own article:

QUESTION: Why do you think people who call themselves Christians sometimes say the most hateful things about Muslims?

WARREN: Well, some of those folks probably aren’t really Christians. 1 John 4:20 says, “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.”

Muslims are NOT our brothers. Moreover the effort, informally dubbed King's Way, caps years of outreach between Warren and Muslims. Warren has broken Ramadan fasts at a Mission Viejo mosque, met Muslim leaders abroad and addressed 8,000 Muslims at a national convention in Washington D.C.

Furthermore we have discovered that Rick Warren is an elected member of the CFR - Council on Foreign Relations. It is a think tank chaired by, among others, notorious Bildeberg member David Rockefeller. The list of members can be found at this website. Following his election to the CFR in 2005 - 2006, Warren became the spiritual darling of the White House and was asked to give the presidential inauguration prayer for Barack Obama. And at the inauguration he prayed in the name of "ISA" - the destroyer of Christianity.

Was this simply an honest mistake; the blunder of a rookie? Or was there an intent behind it; an intent to be syncretic like the President? In 2009 Rick Warren spoke at the ISNA convention; a Muslim meeting which deals with Muslim affairs. This three-part speech is embedded below. Please watch all three parts for full context. This is Chrislam - the amalgamating of two, albeit separate belief systems. into one common goal - to seek the common good of the world. It is a spiritual yoke; the most unequal yoke imaginable. Again - this speech by Warren says it all. He is promoting Chrislam here. He opens his speech with As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم) - an Arabic greeting often translated as Peace be upon you or Peace be with you. The greeting is traditionally used among Muslims around the world.

As you watch all three parts listen for the call to yoke together in violation of 2 Corinthians 6:14 which says "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

Also notice that he refers to the Muslims as "brothers" and even says God likes the diversity of religions on the earth.

Notice in the second part that he begins his description of the three major things wrong with the world with the issue of "conflict". He says it is the result of failing to reconcile with "God". And he's asking this large group of Muslims to assist him with this problem? As though any of them have reconciled with God? Hello! Warren is speaking to an entire group of people who have FAILED TO RECONCILE WITH GOD! ISLAM is responsible for the vast majority of conflict in the world today. Somebody with a true heart for evangelism would have pointed that out to these lost people. Somebody who really loved these sinners would have shown them that Jesus is the only way to solve the world's problems... because without Jesus in their lives, in their hearts, and in their culture, none of them stand a chance of doing anything good at all. I guess it's going to take someone else, Rick.

BIBLE: Allah of Q'uran "Father of Lies"

The Bible is not ambiguous on its stance on lying. The Q'uran - well - not so much. In fact the Q'uran explicitly and implicitly states that lying is acceptable under certain circumstances. It is an Islamic tenet known as Taquiyya.



So according to the Q'uran lying is acceptable and it could be that even Obama himself is practicing it on a large scale. But the Bible is crystal clear on this. In fact it gives us a name; the one who originated and who is the "father" of all lies.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:44

The Bible gives no room for lies or liars. Yet the Q'uran seems to indicate that Allah turns a blind eye to lying as long as it promotes his kingdom purposes. The only conclusion is an obvious one. If we conflate what we know about the two narratives we can safely come up with this: the God of the Bible declares that all lies come from Satan. The Q'uran declares that some lies are acceptable. Therefore the author - the one who inspired the Q'uran is at the very least a liar and at worst the "father of lies".

Deception is a key component in Islam and renders the religious statements unreliable and its adherents totally untrustworthy. The truths of the Bible, however, have never failed and, as we examine the prophetic dynamics in light of current news, we should be even more compelled to embrace the author of the Bible - almighty God - YHWH

Five years in captivity

Israel and Hamas have agreed a deal for the release of Sgt Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held hostage by Palestinian militants for five years.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal had been reached after arduous talks, and that Sgt Shalit would be back with his family "within days".

Israel is likely to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Sgt Shalit was captured in a cross-border raid in 2006, and repeated attempts to free him have failed.

But Mr Netanyahu said in a national TV address: "We have concluded arduous negotiations with Hamas to release Gilad Shalit. He will be coming home in the next few days."

'Window of opportunity'

The militant group Hamas, which runs Gaza, said in a statement that there were tens of thousands of people on the streets celebrating the deal.

Analysis

BBC Middle East Bureau Editor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is hard to overstate how important the fate of Gilad Shalit is to Israel.

Almost every family in the country has a son or daughter serving in the military. Shalit's capture resonates with them all. He is probably the most recognisable figure in the country.

It is for that reason that the government is ready to swap him for - according to Hamas officials -1,000 Palestinians held in Israeli jails.

But after so many false dawns why now? The timing is important because Hamas has been on the back foot in recent months after Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's attempt to get Palestinian membership at the UN gained huge support in the occupied territories.

This is their way of showing their more violent approach can also win results. What will be key politically for both sides is how many high-profile prisoners Israel has been ready to give up.

The group's leader Khaled Meshaal appeared on TV to hail the swap deal as a victory for the Palestinian people.

He promised to carry on working to free every Palestinian prisoner held in Israeli jails.

The BBC's Jon Donnison in Jerusalem says Sgt Shalit's family and the families of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails will not believe a deal has been done until their relatives are home.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted an unnamed official in Mr Netanyahu's office as saying that "a brief window of opportunity has been opened" that could lead to Gilad Shalit's release.

The official added: "The window appeared following fears that collapsing Mid-East regimes and the rise of extremist forces would make Gilad Shalit's return impossible."

An Israeli source involved in the talks was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying that the deal called for 1,000 Palestinians prisoners to be freed in two stages.

The first involves the release of 450 for the soldier, with the remaining 550 to be freed later.

Some of the 5,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel have been convicted of serious crimes, but others are being held without charge.

Israel's Channel 2 TV reported that both sides had shown greater flexibility in recent talks.

Indirect talks over 25-year-old Sgt Shalit's release - being mediated by Egypt and Germany - had focused on prisoner exchanges.

In October 2009, Hamas released a video of the soldier calling on Mr Netanyahu to do everything to free him.

DAN 9:27 WATCH - Panetta Warns Israel Is Getting More Isolated, Says Negotiations With Palestinians Must Restart

FOX NEWS

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Sunday that Israel is becoming increasingly isolated in the Middle East, and said Israeli leaders must restart negotiations with the Palestinians and work to restore relations with Egypt and Turkey.

In a blunt assessment made as he was traveling to Israel, Panetta said the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East makes it critical for the Israelis to find ways to communicate with other nations in the region in order to have stability.

"There's not much question in my mind that they maintain that (military) edge," Panetta told reporters traveling with him. "But the question you have to ask: Is it enough to maintain a military edge if you're isolating yourself in the diplomatic arena? Real security can only be achieved by both a strong diplomatic effort as well as a strong effort to project your military strength."

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak says Israel has a responsibility to try and ease tensions in the region and find a way to resume negotiations with the Palestinians.

Standing next to Barak, Panetta said now is the time for bold action by both the Israelis and Palestinians to move toward a negotiated two-state solution. He says there's no alternative to negotiations.

Panetta met Monday with Barak in Tel Aviv on the first leg of a Middle East trip that also includes meetings with Palestinian leaders, and a stop in Egypt to meet with top officials there.

Panetta is scheduled to meet this week with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, and then travel to a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels. His visit comes as Mideast negotiators push for a peace deal by the end of next year, amping up pressure for the resumption of long-stalled talks.

The Pentagon chief said Israel risks eroding its own security if it does not reach out to its neighbors.

"It's pretty clear that at this dramatic time in the Middle East, when there have been so many changes, that it is not a good situation for Israel to become increasingly isolated. And that's what's happening," he said.

Panetta said the most important thing now is for Israel and its neighbors "to try to develop better relationships so in the very least they can communicate with each other rather than taking these issues to the streets."

His visit comes at a particularly critical and fragile time.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has asked the U.N. Security Council to recognize an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. The United States opposed the U.N. bid, saying there is no substitute for direct peace negotiations. But with Israel continuing to build settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, Abbas says there is no point in talking.

Some 500,000 Jewish settlers now live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.

The United States, Britain, France and other council members are likely to try to hold up consideration of the application while they press for a resumption of long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, diplomats said.

Negotiators, known as the Quartet, are asking both the Israelis and the Palestinians to produce comprehensive proposals on territory and security within three months.

Israeli officials have welcomed parts of the proposal, but have also expressed concerns about the timetable for some discussions. They also have refused to endorse the 1967 prewar borders as a basis for the future Palestinian state -- something President Barack Obama has endorsed.

The Palestinians, meanwhile, have said they won't return to talks unless Israel freezes settlement building and accepts the pre-1967 war frontier as a baseline for talks.

The Quartet -- the U.S., European Union, United Nations and Russia -- is urging both sides to avoid "provocative actions." Just last week, Israel approved the construction of 1,100 new housing units in an area of Jerusalem built on land captured in 1967, a move that drew widespread international condemnation.

Panetta said he wants to stress to both sides that instead of setting conditions or pursuing other approaches, "the most important thing they can do is go to the negotiating table. That would be a tremendous signal to the world that both the Israelis and the Palestinians want to try to find a solution to these problems. I don't think they really lose anything by getting into negotiations."

Panetta is scheduled to meet with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

His visit to Israel comes six months after his predecessor, Robert Gates, traveled to the region to meet with Israeli leaders and make the first journey to the West Bank to talk with Fayyad.

The U.S. has said it would veto the Palestinians' U.N. request, despite the high political cost in the Arab world. However, Washington would not need to use its veto if the Palestinians fail to get the support of at least nine of 15 council members. Palestinian officials have said they believe they have eight yes votes, and are lobbying for more support.

Iranian Christian to be executed for being a 'Zionist'

ISRAEL TODAY

The international community was furious when it learned that Iran was going to execute a young man for converting to Christianity and wanting to start a church. So Iran on Sunday altered the charges and said it is instead going to execute Youcef Nadarkhani because, among other things, he loves Israel.

Nadarkhani was arrested and convicted in 2010. Legal documents obtained by CNN accused Nadarkhani of "turning his back on Islam, the greatest religion..."

In Iran, the punishment for apostacy is death.

But with pressure mounting for Iran to cease its brutal repression of religious freedom, Gholomali Rezvani, the deputy governor of Nadarkhani's home province, announced that the charges had been changed.

"His crime is not, as some claim, converting others to Christianity. He is guilty of security-related crimes," Rezvani told the Fars news agency.

And what kind of security-related crimes had Nadarkhani committed? He "is a Zionist," declared Rezvani. And just in case, Nadarkhani also had charges of rape and extortion tacked on to his rap sheet. Both CNN and Fox News later pointed out that the original 2010 court ruling did not contain one mention of rape or extortion.

Al Qaeda slams Iran for peddling 9/11 conspiracy theories

YAHOO NEWS

It's not often foreign leaders are chastised by al-Qaeda for going too far in their critique of the United States--but Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has somehow managed the trick. Ahmadinejad is already facing bruising attacks at home from conservative Iranian clerics and politicians on several fronts--and now al Qaeda representatives are assailing him for peddling conspiracy theories that deny the terrorist group's culpability for the Sept. 11 attacks.

According to the new issue of "Inspire" magazine--the English-language propaganda outlet put out by the group's Yemeni affiliate al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)--Ahmadinejad insulted the terrorist group by renewing past conspiratorial claims about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon during his speech before the United Nations last week.

"The mysterious September 11 incident" merits an investigation into possible "hidden elements involved" seeking a pretext for America's invasion of the Middle East, Ahmadinejad suggested in his Sept. 22 address to the world body--prompting an immediate walk-out by the United States and several European delegations.

And it seems that this was all a bit much for al Qaeda.

"The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al Qaeda was behind 9/11 but rather, the U.S. government," an article in Inspire's latest issue argued, according to ABC News' Lee Ferrin. "So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?"

For Iran, "al Qaeda was a competitor for the hearts and minds of the disenfranchised Muslims around the world," the rant continued. "Al Qaeda... succeeded in what Iran couldn't. Therefore it was necessary for the Iranians to discredit 9/11 and what better way to do so? Conspiracy theories."

Iran is committed only to carrying out "lip-service jihad" against the United States, it added.

(Whether the Inspire article author is aware that his rant echoes a skit by the satirical media outfit "the Onion" in 2008 is unclear.)

Ahmadinejad's 9/11 conspiracy theories were hardly anything new--nor was the American and European walkout that they provoked. Indeed, both have becoming staples of recent years' annual gathering of world leaders for the UN General Assembly opening session.

So too has Ahmadinejad's flurry of media interviews on his New York trips.

In such a meeting with journalists following his UN address, the Iranian leader was more restrained--if not more conciliatory--as he sought to draw equivalences between the West's economic troubles and those of Iran, the target of international sanctions over its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad also responded to questions about his own reported domestic political problems with Iran's hardline parliamentarians, suggesting that the divided political scene in Tehran is not all so different from the partisan rancor faced by the American president in Washington.

The Iranian leader went on to press other supposed analogies between Iran and the West. When several journalists in attendance asked him about the treatment of Iranian political prisoners, human rights abuses and political repression, Ahmadinejad countered that violence involving law enforcement kills 30 Americans every week, and spoke of the independence of Iran's judicial system. And when another reporter queried him about Iran's alleged military and financial support for Bashar al-Assad's crackdown in Syria, Ahmadinejad denied playing such a role, going on to argue that the successful Arab rebellions in Egypt and Tunisia overturned autocrats long allied with the United States. And so on.

Some of America's "jobless, hopeless youth see no alternative but to join the armed forces," Ahmadinejad said. "We are not happy" when American soldiers die in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Why do they need to die in Afghanistan? . . . Some wish to accuse others. Yet they are ignoring their own fundamental role."

Whether Ahmadinejad will get many further opportunities to portray such narratives on the world stage is not as assured as it once perhaps seemed. The UN gathering in New York this year was missing several autocrats who had become perennial fixtures--Libya's Moammar Gadhafi, Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, and Tunisia's Ben Ali among them. And Ahmadinejad, currently in his second presidential term, is also a lame duck, as Iran is due to hold presidential elections in 2013.

World opinion swings back against Israel

Israel Today Magazine

Even when the Palestinian regime openly identifies itself as an impossible peace partner, it never takes long before the international community finds an excuse to again blame Israel for the lack of a peace agreement.

Earlier this week, the world was taken aback by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' brash unilateral push for statehood at the UN. For a brief moment, the world sided with Israel as it pleaded in vain for Abbas to return to the negotiating table.

But already on Thursday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returned to the familiar rhetoric, suggesting that the construction of a few apartments in Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem is what's really blocking peace.

"We believe that this morning's announcement by the government of Israel approving the construction of housing units in east Jerusalem is counter-productive to our efforts to resume direct negotiations between the parties," Clinton told reporters. "We have long urged both sides to avoid any kind of action which could undermine trust, including, and perhaps most particularly, in Jerusalem, any action that could be viewed as provocative by either side."

EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and British Foreign Secretary William Hague also condemned what they called "provocative settlement activity."

The three diplomats were referring to Israel's approval of the construction of 1,100 new apartments in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo, which is already home to tens of thousands of Jews. The Palestinians claim Gilo as part of their future state, as it lies on the side of Jerusalem that was illegally occupied by Jordan prior to 1967.

It is worth pointing out that while Clinton is quick to jump on Israel for building a few apartments, she has not been consistent in calling out the "kind of action which could undermine trust" when it comes to the Palestinians.

For instance, Palestinian police forces have been operating in eastern Jerusalem in violation of signed agreements for the past couple of years. The Palestinian Authority has also resumed political activity in Jerusalem, again in violation of signed agreements.
