LIBERTY NOT TYRANNY


The following information came to me via a bona fide legal organization which I have been involved with for years and it is accurate. I felt I needed to share this with you because it affects OUR freedom and human rights.

Some of the text below is taken from the email to me, but some thoughts I have interjected.

Supreme Court Justice Scalia said in a recent dissent that "America is at war with radical Islamists". You may not be aware of that war, but it ensues at this moment.

Right now, in the United Nations, the huge 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference is driving for passage of a so-called "Defamation of Religions" resolution ... with a probable General Assembly vote in early December!

This "Defamation of Religions" resolution masquerades as a "tolerance" law - BUT IN FACT, it would target ANYONE who speaks negatively in any way about Islam! In other words, if you do not believe in Islam and you share YOUR faith, it would become an international crime, punishable by imprisonment or death. READ THAT AGAIN... PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT OR DEATH.

I am not making this up! THIS IS REAL AND IT IS HAPPENING NOW!
We are used to being a free nation, but that could change very soon.

Both the European and American Government Affairs Legal Teams of the American Center of Law and Justice (ACLJ) have met with ambassadors from a number of nations - explaining the awful truth about this resolution.

The ACLJ is working hard to educate the members of the UN Council to let them know that if resolutions like this are enshrined as international law, it will come at the price of countless Christian lives.

Meanwhile, the ACLJ is fighting on a second front: The U.K. demanded the deportation of a Syrian citizen who had converted from Islam to Christianity and fled to England. There was no question he would be subject to "honor killing" - probably by his own family - if he returned to his home.

The European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) counsel argued his case before the U.K. immigration court, and won. The man and his wife were granted asylum, setting a strong precedent for other Christian converts to be granted "religious refugee" status.

But now the opposing counsel for the U.K. is appealing the ruling, brazenly claiming that a Christian organization like the ECLJ should not be allowed to provide a defense in such a case!

This is outrageous! We are seeing worldwide persecution of Christians as part of the radical Muslim mission to "take the world for Islam" by purging Christianity from the face of the earth.

Therefore, the ACLJ and its partners are fighting back with every possible resource. If this case is not won, this young man will certainly die - and many others will follow.

If you believe in the importance of freedom and protecting our human rights and would like to take part in the legal battle to preserve them, please check out the ACLJ and if you could possibly DONATE something to assist the general counsel of the ACLJ fight this egregious situation.

Right now there is an $875,000 LIBERTY NOT TYRANNY Matching Challenge to funds that are donated. Could you possibly donate even $1.00, $10.00, $20.00 or even $100.00?

I know times are tight. Just a thought, you could skip that Latte tomorrow morning.

What is your freedom worth?
---------------
p.s. I am Christian, therefore I share Christ, but the tolerance law, if passed, would also affect other religions--Tyranny shows no mercy.
