UN's Twisted Logic: Free Speech Equals “Torture”It is happening again. Free speech is under attack at the United Nations. And, once again religious liberty is in the crosshairs. Earlier this month, a prominent NGO (nongovernmental organization), the Center for Reproductive Rights, made a formal argument to the United Nations Committee Against Torture that the Catholic Church’s pro-life speech actually tortures women and girls.

Christians in India Fear for the Future of Religious Freedom
International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a political coalition led by the Hindu nationalist Bharathiya Janatha Party (BJP), will lead the next government of India. Winning a clear majority, the NDA pushed the ruling Indian National Congress (INC) into a distant second place. Christians and other religious minorities are concerned by the NDA’s landslide victory. While accepting the results of the elections, Christians across India have expressed fear for their future and security living under a government led by Hindu nationalists.

ICC Note: The article discusses the ongoing church demolition in Zhejiang province, China, and the government’s action in limiting the online selling of overseas Christian books. Last month, the government also stopped the Amity Foundation, the largest printer for Bibles.
Texas: Christian Ordered to Remove Ten Commandments from Property
ICC Note: The Liberty Institute has taken on the case of a Christian resident of Hemphill, Texas, who was ordered by the Texas Department of Transportation to remove a sign of the Ten Commandments from her private property. The sign could be read by travelers on a nearby highway. While commercial billboards are allowed to be posted along the highway, the property owner, Jeanette Golden, was inexplicably told that her sign had to be removed. Across the United States local zoning regulations and city ordinances are increasingly being used by officials to push religious messages out of the public sphere.
Indonesia: Rising Religious Intolerance
Undoing Yudhoyono’s Sectarian Legacy
ICC Note: Indonesia holds presidential election on July 9 and the successor of the current President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will face a rising religious intolerance in the country. The Yudhoyono’s government has been turning a blind eye and acting passively toward worsening religious intolerance. Indonesia’s violent Sunni Islamist militants have grown accustomed to attacking religious minorities with impunity over the past 10 years.
Boko Haram Survivor Calls on Christians to “Stand Strong”
ICC Note: Deborah Peters, a Chibok native, told her story of tragedy and survival at a press conference hosted by the Hudson Institute earlier this week. Peters testified to how Boko Haram militants knocked on her door to kill her father and brother for their Christian faiths. Emmanuel Ogebe of the Jubilee Campaign, Justice for Jos, and the Nigerian Working Group Washington, D.C. spoke to both Boko Haram’s past and future, calling on the Nigerian and U.S. governments, as well as other members of the international Community to gather in arms to locate and release the more than 240 girls abducted from Chibok and Warabe villages by Boko Haram.
American “just praying” Over His Pregnant Wife’s Death Sentence for Her Christian Faith
ICC Note: Meriam Yahia Ibrahim, a Christian mother and American Citizen’s wife pregnant with her second child has languished in a Sudanese prison for her faith since February. Charged with adultery and apostasy, Ibrahim was convicted May 11 and sentenced to 100 lashes and death May 15. Sudan, designated a Country of Particular Concern by the United States’ Department of State since 1999 continues to advance President Omar al-Bashir’s Islamist agenda, implementing it’s Sharia-inspired Public Order Criminal Code more and more strictly. Christians in Sudan suffer immense social histolities and government repression for practicing their faith. Many now fear President Bashir meant it when he said he intends to make Sudan a “purely” Islamic state.
Pakistan Assembly Passes Symbolic Resolution to Protect Religious Minorities
ICC Note: The National Assembly of Pakistan passed a resolution yesterday calling for the protection of religious minorities and their places of worship. The resolution called on the government to take the necessary steps to protect religious holy places from attack including the deployment of special police units to protect religious building in areas where terrorists could attack. Pakistani religious leaders have had mixed reactions to the passing of this resolution. Some hail it as progress. Others claim it is useless because religious minorities are already protected by the constitution. What matters now is action. Will Pakistan take the necessary steps to protect religious minorities?
Hindu Nationalists Narendra Modi and BJP Win Indian National Elections
ICC Note: The National Democratic Alliance, a coalition led by the Hindu nationalist BJP, has won India's national elections. The next prime minister of India will likely be Narendra Modi, BJP's charismatic and controversial leader. Many Christians and other religious minorities feared the rise of Modi and BJP. Firmly established on a Hindu nationalist base, BJP will likely impose a rule over India that will not respect the rights of Christians and other non-Hindus. Please pray for India and its future.

In the waning days of the last Ice Age, a waifish teenage girl ventured into a Mexican cave. She would not emerge alive. Some 12,000 years passed before cave explorers discovered her remains in 2007 in Outland Cave in the Yucatán region of Mexico. Now scientists say her bones form one of the oldest and most complete human skeletons ever seen in the Americas, a unique find that's shedding light on a fierce debate about the first people to colonize the Americas. Genetic analysis shows the girl traces her ancestry to a vanished land that once stretched between Siberia and Alaska.

Researchers Show That Genes Aren't Responsible For Cancer's Potential, But The Body's Culture Medium Is
A team of Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have proposed that an "on and off" epigenetic switch could be a common mechanism behind the development of different types of cancer. The existence of this epigenetic switch is indirectly supported by the fact that tumors develop through different stages. When cells rapidly grow during cancer progression, they become stuck in their current stage of development and their cell characteristics do not change.
The Endocannabinoid System and How THC Cures Cancer
There are close to 20,000 studies on cannabinoids in the pubmed database. Few scientists who concentrate their work around cannabinoids can deny the tremendous therapeutic potential of cannabis. Dr. Christina Sanchez, a molecular biologist at Compultense University in Madrid Spain, has completed extensive research which led to one of the first discoveries that THC does indeed kill cancer cells.

Tricking the uncertainty principle: New measurement technique goes beyond the limits imposed by quantum physics
Today, we can measure the position of an object with unprecedented accuracy, but the uncertainty principle places fundamental limits on our ability to measure. Noise that results from of the quantum nature of the fields used to make measurements imposes what is called the 'standard quantum limit.' This background noise keeps us from knowing an object's exact location, but a recent study provides a solution for rerouting some of that noise away from the measurement.
