who are again christianity was in palestine and now we are going to end up with very little christians there because of this meddling because of this. scaremongering because of the intervention and because of the division we are trying to play if you look at the french and here in britain the idea that somehow we can assist we can decide which party we take we what we agree with which one we don't it doesn't matter whether they're out of muslims or christians or whatever but basically it's politics that is being played with the lives of the people and i think this is this is a disgrace and it's a pity now what do you think about that because you know again it on a stick with the secular regimes ok iraq it was a secular regime ok under khadafi it was nominally secular as well and now we have these these are both countries where you have fundamentalism and radicalism. after interventions. yes absolutely right and i'm not going to be arguing in favor of intervening but i think while it's obvious that western front policy has something to play i'm interested here savva thinks there's any d

the really christians are deprived of rights i would love to have the same rights christians have in egypt that was exactly the thing i asked abdul ali mussa the former interior minister i still want this because christians here have many more rights than muslims to and. santa monica so. while recording this interview how the islam received some unfortunate news. that the hyena trial court had sentenced him to eleven years for extremism if any. travelling from the center of egypt's capital to those of a lean district is like traveling back in time the words of a lean means rubbish people here they're all christians. no one can tell exactly how many people live in this area that was founded in the middle of the twentieth century. there is from hundreds of thousands to half a million receives is there lies they collected from all around cairo bring it back here and pick through it by hand. but the process has five stages that of what the first one is on the ground they have to separate the garbage for. the second starts after they wash it down i want to go after washing we have to use

they are not christians first people in a turbulent area the westerners tend to think about christianity as if it's a western religion and there are some of the arabs who have taken. christianity as a religion they forget that jesus was a not a he was the abraham was born in iraq but the turbulent situation there principly the political situation and most certainly the external factor of the biggest disaster for instance was the two thousand and three invasion of iraq by the us and europe which caused the decline of not just only the christians but you have almost four million iraqis outside the country as far as the christians are concerned almost fifty percent of the iraqi christians have escaped western embassies tend to give exit visas or entry visa to their countries if they are christians they would give them more readily and these are all factors that affect the situation when you look at the christians say in palestine you find the israeli policy of discrimination against the christians is a major cause to the extent that for instance. who is a palestinian archbishop or was that

folks, we'll be back with more of this edition of christian world news right after this. >> george: christians through america's great smoky mountains led by one of the foremost creation scientists in this country. they searched for geologically evidence of christianism and the biblical account of the great flood. russ jones joined the exhibition. >> reporter: dr. andrew snelling, director of research led the half day of the e escurtcurtion. they wanted to teach about creationism. perhaps one of the world's leading researchers in flood geology, snelling claims clingman's stone is an example of how catastrophic events challenged the idea of an earth formation that took billions of years. >> one of the key events in the earth's history is the flood. jesus even spoke of the flood. peter spoke of the flood. so noah and the flood are key to that history being proved. true. and if that history is true, then the gospel message founded on that history is true, and challenges people that they must respond to the creator, jesus christ. >> reporter: joshua just moved to knoxville, tennessee from spain, w

do we want to reform the christian faith? these people are phony christians. they preach out of one side of their mouth and they operate out of another. to the detriment of americans who need help. denying people. think about this. denying people with preexisting conditions health care is morally wrong. yet they stand on solid ground in their mind that it is the right thing to do. denying 30 million americans health care is simply the wrong way to go. that's not what we want as a country. all this talk about how it is an unpopular policy. no, it's not. it's not. this is what the majority of americans want. we should also point out to congresswoman bachmann that lying is wrong. >> the american people lose control? what do they get? they get health care, health insurance, i should say, that is more expensive than anything they've ever paid for before and they get less for it. whoa, what a deal, mr. president, mr. speaker. what a deal. the american people especially vulnerable women, vulnerable children, vulnerable senior citizens, now get to pay more and get les

it means the liberation from christianity. so this twofold desire that defines liberalism explains why liberals and up being atheistic, rejecting christianity and then simultaneously hedonistic, so the entire christian liberalism that you find in the new york times and the aclu and political correctness is what has occurred after 500 years of kind of a liberal revolution which began in an entirely christianized culture as a rebellion against christianity. machiavelli is very clear about this. and it's-0 defines liberalism's positive form. you have to understand that to understand liberalism. the desire to remove the church and replace it with a secular state ends up providing the world the pleasures to give modern liberalism the structures, believes, and goals. the desire to displace christianity the feisty intellectual moral, cultural, and political goals of liberalism. as the liberal state then takes over the form and function of having any presence or influence in the public square, it uses the power of the state to establi

they threaten all christians. they terrorize our neighborhood and the whole country. >> two brothers survived the attack, despite two stab wounds. he says islamists came here to kill him. >> to hit me in the head with sticks. a lot of men hit me in the head. the cops show us the cars and then suddenly a muslim neighbor shows up. he is unhappy that the christians are talking to journalists. >> we leave to avoid stirring up more violence here. >> attacks are documented. he says radical islamists are trying to destroy christian livelihoods. >> we have around 58, 85 stores. the most famous. >> after the military destroyed camps in cairo, at least 61 churches were attacked. many blame islamists for the attacks. now islamists accuse christians of protesting en masse before the coup. a church service in cairo, christians here are serious over the response to violence. they accused the west of welling on army violence and ignoring islamist violence. >> i would think the christians would have supported the truth. the truth

now, i'm a born-again christian and he's a born-again christian.nk we have to sort this thing out. we have a political force in america that wants to take health care away from the poorest americans. they want to allow them to get sick and do nothing about it. and then just let them fall by the wayside. is that christian? is that what the lord did when he was on the face of the earth? now, there's many religions in our country, but the christian faith is one that is supposed to take care of its brother, to believe that the only way to heaven is through the father, and to help your neighbor and to help the sick and the poor. i don't know about you, folks, i'm sick and tired of these born-again christians preaching down on the rest of us as if they are the holy grail and the road to heaven because they have all the answers? it's all for what? to hurt people. if we repeal obamacare, if this were to go through, it would hurt americans. there's nothing christian about that. i would like an evangelical christian pastor to come on this program and explain

but it ought to apply to everyone, including christians, not everyone but christians. [ applause ] well, you can argue about the president's ability to lead or the democrats' performance or lack thereof in washington. but democrats know how to stick together, and they back the president's policies and unite behind their candidates. i mean, they've all but anoingted hillary clinton to be their presidential candidate in 2016. and they're pretty good at blaming republicans. but you know who else is good at beating up republicans? other republicans. and as chris christie and rand paul recently showed, the gop can't seem to get out of its own way. >> senator paul wants to start looking at where he's going to cut spending to afford defense? maybe he should start looking at cutting the pork barrel spending that he brings home to kentucky. >> this is the king of bacon talking about bacon. he wants to be this great champion of national defense. what does he want to do, shut down military bases in kentucky? >> we're going to have to patch things up. he wants to break bread and see if we can find

christianity throughout the world. but was responsible with his mother for some of the initial cases which got prayer out of the school, and bill donohue out of the catholic league, but it was argued decades ago the fundamental issue of feminism was why should women have equal rights. women always have special rights. how is it that we are going to eliminate common you know, going to a socialist agenda which also eliminates family. today in the united states, the number of children being born out of wedlock is terrifying. the number of teenage pregnancies is terrifying. broken families, abortions. a country which, if you like a feather, some of the signs of failure, have a child too early in your teenage years, not have a husband and wife together to raise the child. we are producing children don'te lack education, lack of god, lack values and are headed towards a future in which their future will be key -- will be given a c. on a state which is engineered the removal of god coming at thomas jefferson community, his wa

what about christians in britain? >> i refer you back to what i said about before on embarrassment, an extremely powerful emotion in british culture. if you look at kind of perm ads in britain, the thing they ask for over and over and over again is in good sense of humor because in everything we do here is kind of oiled by irony, we joke all the time. we don't -- direct expression of emotion strikes us like it's problematic, and if you say, i believe, then immediately, you've kind of dropped off the edge of the good ship irony into the ocean of the embarrassing earnestness, and that's what i did on purpose in the book, a strange experience, but you can swim in the ocean, and it's okay. >> what's the reaction? >> guest: positive on the whole, even those who disagree with it enjoyed the experience like you enjoy getting a brisk head massage or something. within the churches, even though i'm sweary and disrespectful by some standards, they look kind to us across the spectrum. there's listeners from catholics to the quake

jerusalem had been a byzantine christian city since constantine. syria was completely christian. egypt was evangelized by mark indiscretion for six centuries and are used to be 250 catholic diocese are wiped out by the muslims. so this was the largest political military empire in the world at the time from the persian gulf to the atlantic ocean. and then they invade spain. continuously conquered spain because the muslims had arabian horses. spinners are still fighting on foot. they killed millions and pope gregory puts poker group of saudi police and they get 30,000 volunteers under charles martel, grandfather charlemagne and stops the muslims at the battle of tours outside of paris in the year 732 a.d., exactly 100 years after the death of mohammed x 32 a.d. this is the largest empire in the world and was a military campaign. they went from a radio to paris. it took 700 years and then they had slavery. and saved 180 million africans. they had slavery spurious entries before america was even covered and then they began to sell them to this race merchants that brought them to the

cop particular and other christians make up the christian population of over ail million people. she was one of several christians killed. churches, homes and other properties have been targeted. many christians have left already. hostile messages are written on the church walls. this catholic church in cairo is luckier than some. some have been burned down. >> up to now we have every day sectarian problems. burning churches, killing people. killing this small child. she was 10 years old. it is not only the crips. it is everybody who receives this message -- it is not only the christians. it is everybody who receives this message of terror. >> many pray that the current violence will end soon and that the darkness of sectarian strife will be lifted.

then you will have done christianity, christianity that is appropriate for today. [applause] that is what i think we ought to do. >> in some ways that seems to -- we have 15 minutes before we open up for q&a but that gets to the core tension between the black churches and institutions that socializes american citizens as a primary space that produces american democrats through its various educational programs. at the same time there is the broader claim of part critiquing kings rule so i wonder all of you are invested and have some strong stringent critiques of the limits of black churches and institutions more generally but you also actively engage these churches. maybe before before we opened up i i would be interested to hear where do you see that side of hope? where do you see something being made out of nothing, something being made out of nothing, sort of the black tradition. is there a possibility that if the black church is dying some source of resurrection? is there an organization at the forefront of bringing together collaboration and where's the prospec

so what that says is remedial christianity has to be consciousness-raising christianity. for instance, we've not touched really on democracy, but democracy's something that we just, that's not just some abstract word that's out there. i mean, it's handgun we really -- it's something we really have to discuss. what are the limits of democracy, are we in a democracy now? what do we have a right to ask for in democracy? that's just one thing. and with regard to the bible, i must say -- maybe it's because i'm a biblical scholar and i've dedicated the last 25, 30 years of my life to the history of the language and the interpretation be of the bible, but i see, i've been teaching these students, and i see that there are even some who know something's wrong, something has to change, but until it's presented to them, things remain the same. and so there has to be, i think, this real concerted effort, much more concerted than we've had before to say, look, wait a minute, this is what it says here in context. to make it clear. and go out and make a real effort to raise, to raise co

but different christians in all these countries., is this becoming something where islamic extremism is looking for sort of an ethnic cleansing of some of the communities? >> yes, i think that's exactly right. i thought james rosen's piece made that point quite well. one of the reasons that weighs on the side of people like charles that say support the military in egypt is that the muslim brotherhood and others are targeting coptic christians and others, and the military may be the last line of defense, so there's not a real ethnic cleansing or religious based cleansing of christians in those countries. >>> next up, an incredibly brutal, senseless crime, and how it is being covered.

christian businesses were ransacked and christians themselves were targeted for atta attack, it seemedir religion. here is state department spokesperson jen psaki moments ago. >> the united states strongly condemns all attacks and acts of violence and bloodshed across egypt. we are outraged and deplore in the strongest terms the reprehensible attack is in the past few days against numerous coptic christian churches. we also condemn the recent attacks on public buildings including police stations. there can be absolutely no place for such violence in egypt and call on all of egypt's leaders to condemn such attacks aggravating an already fragile atmosphere. the government has a responsibility to create an atmosphere egyptians can have assembly and media and christians also have a responsibility to exercise those rights peacefully and those doing so peacefully should not be labelled terrorists and encourage taking the utmost steps for compensation and avoid further life or injuries. >> you heard the state department remark on the persecution. the president also remarked earlier today. sen
