On Fox, Greg Gutfeld Calls Out Media on School Shooting Stat
Earlier this week Newsbusters reported that the media hyped a statistic about school shootings that originated from Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group “Everytown for Gun Safety.’ There have been, according to the widely reported stat, 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. The media dutifully repeated the number until it was debunked. CNN later retracted and amended their reporting of the questionable count to a much lower number, 15.

Pryor’s Prior Partisan Votes
Tom Cotton accuses Sen. Mark Pryor of “toeing the line” for President Obama and the Democratic Party, claiming Pryor voted with them 90 percent of the time. But the party unity figure is wrong (it’s actually 80 percent), and the presidential support figure, although accurate, shows Pryor voted against Obama more than any other Senate Democrat.

Bill Gates Just Blew Our Minds In A Single Tweet
Between 1901 and 2000, the U.S. built an entire interstate highway system, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hoover Dam and just about all of its skyscrapers -- to name just a few concrete-intensive things. China did all that, and almost half again, in just three years. On his blog, Gates suggested that all of this concrete had helped pull Chinese out of poverty. But all of this building has also left China with a huge and dangerous property bubble, massive ghost cities and empty housing.

Malaysia: The Seizure Of Bibles By Islamic Authority Was Determined “Wrong”
Malaysian Christian leader: With return of our Bibles it's time for forgiveness
ICC Note: Several anti-Christian incidences occurred in Malaysia in early January, including the seizure of hundreds of Bibles from the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) and the arrest of staff members by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais). Yesterday, the Attorney General determined that the Jais was "wrong" to carry out the raid and seize over 300 copies of the Bible. The incidences were caused by the rising tensions over use of the word ‘Allah’ in the country after the controversial judgment of an appeal court last October, banning the Malaysian Catholic Weekly Herald to use the word "Allah".

We must offer sanctuary to Iraq’s remaining Christians
As thousands of Christians continue to flee from Iraq and Syria, many are wondering if this is the final straw in weeding out the Christian population in those two countries. Catholic Herald discusses the necessary action to help prevent the collapse of the church there. Iraq and Syria stand as an influential region to Christianity in the Middle East and hold a long history of the Christian faith.

ISIS May Expel Iraq’s Christians for Good
As ISIS, a radical Islamic group in Iraq, continues to drive out residents in Mosul, the United States is looking for solutions to stop them before they reach Baghdad. Mosul, a predominantly Christian neighborhood, saw the loss of nearly a thousand Christian families earlier this week. With the newly elected prime minister in Iraq struggling to gain control of the hostile country, Obama still has yet to make a decision on actions.

India Will Spare “No Effort” To Recover Abducted Priest in Afghanistan
ICC Note: India's new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has stated that his government will spare "no effort" to ensure the safe release of an Indian priest abducted in Afghanistan last week. On June 2, the priest was abducted by unknown gunmen in Afghanistan's Herat province. Since the abduction, no group has taken responsibility or asked for a ransom. Many are concerned that Afghanistan's Taliban have taken the priest and local authorities have arrested three Taliban members in connection with the abduction. Please pray that the priest is safely released.

ICC Joins More than 100 Others in Protest #ForMeriam Outside White House Gate
ICC Note: International Christian Concern (ICC) joined 39 other human rights and faith-based organizations in a demonstration in front of the White House to call on President Obama and Secretary Kerry to mention Meriam by name in a public address, pressure Sudan for her immediate release and provide her and her asylum. Later that day, Secretary Kerry issued remarks condemning Sudan's actions, calling for Meriam's release and stressing the importance of the respect of human rights and religious freedom.

Evidence reveals that when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she conspired with President Barack Obama to snuff out criticism of Islam with a contrived and diabolical assault on the first amendment. Curiously unprompted, Obama and Hillary so vehemently insisted they had “nothing to do with” the anti-Muhammad video, but as it turns out, the opposite is true, they did play a role, counter to their claims.
