I guess that’s one way to make a statement. In the fall of 2013 the Egyptian government decided to close down any mosque that was 861 sq. feet or smaller, the idea being that most of the radicalization that was taking place in Egypt was happening in these small places of worship. Some Egyptians fought back against the new standard, and the matter went to the Egyptian courts to be decided. Well, the courts have finally ruled — and they’ve sided with the government. The ruling by the Egyptian court means that some 27,000 mosques across Egypt will have to permanently shutter their doors. MORE – VIDEO

Since 2007, scientists have been legally creating human/animal hybrids for “research” purposes.  This information comes directly from the source:  the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.  A 100+ page document was released explaining what exactly they plan on researching and achieving with this. The negative implications of creating chimeras are many.  A person receiving a hybrid’s organ would be at a high risk of contracting infections and viruses from the type of animal that was used for the hybridization.  Under these circumstances, with just one human contracting a virus of this type , the virus could then be contagious to all humans.

“Given the Muslim Brotherhood’s unalterable commitment to Islamic supremacism,” Gaffney said, “the imposition of Shariah worldwide and the establishment of a caliphate to rule globally in accordance with that totalitarian program – in place of our constitutional republic and all other forms of government, what the Obama administration is doing is bad enough.

He painted the first official portrait of Pope Francis and recently completed a huge rendition of the second most powerful man in Rome, Cardinal George Pell, the Vatican’s money guy. MORE
