POPSThe Truth Behind Prop 8…and the Mormon LIES Mormonism was wrong to venture once again into a political matter. But even worse was to wage a campaign that was based almost entirely on lies. For example, no church will ever be required to perform weddings it doesn't want to perform. Catholicism and Judaism have been refusing to perform interfaith marriages forever. And they still are allowed to legally refuse to perform a marriage they don't want to perform, even in Massachussetts where gay marriage has been legal for several years.

POPSThe Animals Lawsuit Against Humanity Within the tenets of Islam are found strong support and guidelines for the protection and treatment of animals. In the Qur'an and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), it is emphasized that animals be treated as humanely as any other of God's vast creation. The Qur'an goes as far to say that cruelty to animals is equivalent to cruel treatment of a human being. Kind treatment of animals is considered a good deed in the same sense that good conduct and treatment between human beings is deemed a good deed.

POPSObama's Slip His unnecessary inaccurate and cheap shots at Islam and the “Middle East” show that he is the typical politician who will do anything for the vote of a few even if it was at the expense of 1.3 billion people and their religion. If that is not true, then worse!

POPSThe Religion of the New World Order "...it has now become obvious that the desired world political unity will never be achieved without bringing an end to religious conflict. This is why New Age global planners have quietly given birth to the United Religions Organization. They believe that the future of our world depends on all of us becoming tolerant and respectful of each other's beliefs." "Interfaith Christian? There is no such thing. Add this term to your list of oxymorons."

POPSReligious Youth: Bridges or Bombs
Just remember, as people like Janet Penn make do on Scooby snacks, there is a religious extremist out there who is doubling his youth program. He is identifying likely kids for the work of religious bigotry and violence. His recruiters are talking to them right now. They are sending them to training camps where they are being brainwashed in religious hatred, preparing to be deployed to wreak havoc who knows where. And every time that religious extremist entrepreneur asks for money for his youth program, he gets it – to the tune of millions of dollars. There is an interfaith youth movement out there to be built – a movement that can compete for the imagination and energy of the emerging generation. But unless we invest in people like Janet Penn and in programs like Interfaith Action, we will continue to see our headlines dominated by young people killing each other to the soundtrack of prayer instead of young people pointing to a new world of peace and pluralism and leading us the
