Oregon’s Radical, Grisly Abortion Law; France: Churches Vanish, Mosques Spring Up...more

Oregon’s Radical, Grisly Abortion Law ...Both California and New York mandate a certain degree of abortion coverage, but Oregon’s is especially aggressive. The legislative language is almost entirely unqualified. It does not exclude grisly late-term abortions (which take place long after the fetus can survive outside the womb), nor does it prohibit sex-selective abortions. If a woman wants to kill her unborn daughter because she wanted a son, her insurer has no choice but to cover that.

Oregon may have one of the most liberal abortion regimes in the country — the state has no informed-consent laws, no waiting periods, and no parental-notification requirements for minors, and conducts virtually no supervision of abortion clinics — but even so, the new bill is radical...

France: Churches Vanish, Mosques Spring Up
◾In the last 30 years, more mosques and Muslim prayer centers have been built in France than all the Catholic churches built in the last century.
◾The Church of Santa Rita used to stand in the fifteenth arrondissement of Paris. A few weeks after Father Hamel was murdered by Islamic terrorists, the French police cleared the church. It is now a parking lot. Police dragged the priests out by their legs as a Mass was being celebrated.
◾In France there are laws protecting old trees. But the state is free to flatten old Christian churches. The vacuums created in the French landscape are already being filled by the booming mosques. Cowardly French authorities would never treat Islam as they are now treating Christianity...

New York’s Chautauqua Institution Opens Door to Muslim Brotherhood Infiltration   ...Reverend Campbell brought Karen Armstrong to Chautauqua Institution, which opened the doors of Chautauqua wide to Saudi Arabia, the Muslim Brotherhood, and jihadis from all over the planet. Armstrong is a former Catholic nun who defends jihadi martyrdom operations (“suicide bomber), advocates for jihadis, and blames 9/11 on United States and the West in general. She works closely with numerous MB leaders around the globe....Since 2002, thanks to Karen Armstrong with support from Reverend Campbell, Chautauqua has hosted senior Muslim Brotherhood jurist Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf each summer. Rauf is the man behind the drive to build a mosque/Islamic Center at the site of the 9/11 attack in New York City through his Park 51 and Cordoba Initiative projects. He is also a sharia scholar whose book, Islam: A Sacred Law, reads like an ISIS publication, stating the purpose of Islam is to establish an Islamic State under sharia....

Hackers now target more than one bank every week ...Cyber-crime is seen by many senior bankers as the single biggest danger faced by their industry. Attacks on lenders cost consumers an estimated £8billion last year, up 122 per cent on 2015, according to the security firm ThreatMetrix.

But when the Mail asked the six largest banks and building societies how many threats they have thwarted since the start of this year, they all declined to comment.
