Undercover Mosque producer attacked on Press TV (Iran)
September 23, 2008 by mike · Leave a Comment
George Galloway (Press TV, Iran) and David Henshaw (Hardcash, UK) have a face to face argument on Iranian television over the handling of the “Undercover Mosque” documentary, which shows British Muslims espousing views and intent to kill homosexuals and apostates and the desire to take over the UK Government and institutions while not integrating with the Kuffar. This documentary was highly controversial, but Ofcom found no wrongdoing and accurately reported the material. There’s a lot to learn about the religious argument from the irrational way in which George Galloway catfights in this discussion. Watch now!
A Question of Miracles. Do Miracles actually occur at Revivals?

In this part-documentary part-exposé, filmmaker Anthony Thomas investigates two of the world’s greatest faith healers and gains exclusive never-seen-before (or since!) access to the revival missions of mass-TV Evangelist Pastor Benny Hinn and Reinhard Bonke who performs at massive healing rallies in poverty stricken parts of Africa. Both evangelists claim to be following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ however their method of working is different. The Scientific and Medical community are deeply skeptical of the claims made by both men, and this documentary follows both men as well as their staff and those hopeful sick who are seeking healing.
ABC News: There are no atheists in foxholes

An atheist solider is fighting back against the institutionalised enforced Christian religious practices of the US Army, or “God’s Army: The New Crusaders” as it appears to be becoming known in the middle east. Not only is the persecution of the non-religious in the US armed forces completely out of step with the country’s constitution and modern morality, but it doesn’t help the men and women in Afghanistan and Iraq who are being fought back against as religious crusaders by the Islamic fighters fighting to (their words), “free the Muslim holy lands” from the “kuffar”. (Needless to say if the US Army had more Muslim recruits and less of a Christian crusader approach then their enemies psychological position would be diluted).
The British Army does not appear to have these issues. Of course army chaplains travel with military units, and I presume they preside of funerals of fallen soldiers, however Army Specialist Jeremy Hall claims to have been denied a promotion and sent back from Iraq after attempts to organise a get-together of atheist soldiers; he’s now suing the department of defence for his victimisation and discrimination and plans to leave the army within a year.
