Title: Christians or “Easter Worshippers”
Topic: Christian Discrimination
Discussed by Faith McDonnell
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.
Islamic jihadists had no hesitation about slaughtering Christians on the holiest day of the year, the day of Jesus Christ's Resurrection. So why are some American politicians and talking heads so squeamish about identifying the victims as Christians and now calling them “Easter Worshippers”?
Faith McDonnell is the International Religious Liberty Program Director at the
Institute on Religion and Democracy.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is there really a difference between a Christian and an “Easter Worshipper”?
Was this just a single unfortunate random act of violence? Or was it pre-meditated, part of a bigger plan (Jihad)?
Is this act of violence reprehensible?
What can Christians do to protect ourselves?
Is there a clear difference in the Trump Administration’s recognition of religious freedom versus the Obama Administration’s recognition of religious freedom, both in American and around the world?

Title: Dennis Rodman is Blinded by the Palace Lights
Topic: Celebrities and Politics
Discussed by Faith McDonnell
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
The MSM is gushing over how
wonderful and great it was to see a “celebrity” like Dennis Rodman schmooze with
Dictator Kim Jong Un during a recent trip to North Korean. And I use the word
“celebrity” in the loosest sense.
In case you didn’t know, Kim Jong Un just “threatened to exercise its 'right to
pre-emptive nuclear attack'” against the United States and South Korea. Should
we take him seriously? Can we stop him? The UN has approved sanctions aimed at
disabling his finances - but will that work?
Back to Dennis Rodman…what was the purpose of his visit to North Korea? Should
we, as American citizens, continue to allow Hollywood actors and other
celebrities to “represent” us in foreign counties, especially socialist and
dictatorship-style countries?

Title: Jesus Said There Would be Persecution!
Topic: Istanbul Process
Discussed by Faith McDonnell
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
The Organization of
Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is heralding an upcoming June meeting geared towards
combating discrimination and intolerance on religious grounds, sighting the
“Istanbul Process”.
Of course, the OIC cares nothing about Christian’s rights and other religious
minorities. But what does this mean for Americans?

Genocide, Scorched earth attacks, and Slave Raids.
After decades of
marginalization and persecution by its own government, the peoples of South
Sudan are voting for freedom. Faith McDonnell, with the Institute on Religion
and Democracy, discusses the future of those left behind. Over 500,000 died in
the first phase of the genocide. When war began, it left over 2.5 million dead
and over 5 million displaced throughout South Sudan. Why?

Title: Islamic Double Standard: Don’t Burn the Quran…but Unless You Accept, Off With Your Head. Segment 1 of 2
Topic: Don’t Burn the Quran
Discussed by Faith McDonnell
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
The Institute on Religion & Democracy (www.theIRD.org)
Would burning the Quran by a Christian provide radical Islamists with another
excuse to attack already at-risk Christians in Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt and
elsewhere?
Our guest, Faith McDonnell states: “Just as we do not hold all Muslims responsible for the September 11 attacks, Muslims should not hold Christian minorities responsible for the actions of one tiny Florida church." (Continued.....)

Topic: Don’t Burn the Quran
Discussed by Faith McDonnell
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
“If it takes something as incendiary as the destruction of a Quran to draw attention to the worldwide suffering church, we have not set our priorities in proper order. Every day, Christians in Indonesia, Pakistan, Sudan, and elsewhere in the Islamic world face oppression and persecution brought about without the assistance of Quran-burning clergymen.”
