There is a tremendous variety of religious communities in the US - Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Pagans, and others. -
STOP AMERICAN MURDER-PREACHER SPREADING HATE in JAMAICA January 26, 2018 to the Government of Jamaica
STOP AMERICAN MURDER-PREACHER SPREADING HATE IN JAMAICA January 26, 2018 To the government of Jamaica: We, the undersigned, are members of the Jamaican diaspora and organizations and individuals working with local partners to help Jamaica realize its domestic and international human rights obligations. We are deeply concerned about a planned “mission trip” to Jamaica (January 28 to February 3, 2018) by designated hate-preacher Steven Anderson, an American citizen who heads the Faithful Word Baptist Church (FWBC). Since 2010, the US-based Southern Poverty Law Center has listed FWBC as a hate group because of their "beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.” Specifically, Anderson has: • referred to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people as disease-spreading pedophiles who should be killed; • engaged in anti-Semitic rhetoric, such as denying the Holocaust; and • advocated for the complete subjugation of women. Anderson’s virulent hate and murderous rhetoric has resulted in him being barred or deported from Botswana, Malawi, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Canada. We urge the government of Jamaica to deny Anderson entry on the grounds that his visit would violate Jamaican law, undermine the human rights of vulnerable Jamaicans, and represent an immediate threat to the peace, order and good governance of the state. At a time when Jamaica is grappling with an exceedingly high number of murders, allowing a hate-preacher to incite violence within the country is a dangerous precedent to set. Violation of Jamaica’s Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms Jamaica’s 2011 Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms provides that the state has an obligation to promote universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and freedoms (s. -
Manifestations of Anti- Semitism in the 21St Century
ANTI-SEMITISM RESURGENT: MANIFESTATIONS OF ANTI- ST SEMITISM IN THE 21 CENTURY 1 www.counterextremism.com | @FightExtremism ANTI-SEMITISM RESURGENT: MANIFESTATIONS OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY Key Points Modern anti-Semitism is a repackaging of historic tropes. Anti- Semites have adapted conspiracy theories of the blood libel as well as Jewish influence in economic and governmental affairs to fit new circumstances, such as the accusation that Jews are responsible for spreading COVID-19, just as Jews were accused of spreading the plague a millennium ago. Jews have historically been denied political and economic rights, and modern anti-Semitism is an expression of the rejection of Jewish integration into society. While the twentieth century saw the rise of influential Jewish politicians around the world as well as the creation of the Jewish nation-state of Israel, conspiracy theorists continue to accuse Jews of dual loyalties and exerting too much influence in world affairs. Partisan politicians are also increasingly willing to incorporate anti-Semitic tropes into their rhetoric to attack opponents they view as serving other interests. Blatantly anti-Semitic historical legal restrictions on Jewish life have evolved into modern laws restricting basic tenets of Jewish life—e.g., kosher slaughter and circumcision—with support from both the left and the right, who argue they are protecting animal and children’s rights. These laws largely do not specifically target Jews but still have the effect of restricting Jewish practice. 2 Table of Contents Anti-Semitism By The Numbers ............................................................................................ 8 Reviving Anti-Jewish Laws .................................................................................................. 31 Modern Political Anti-Semitism .......................................................................................... 34 Holocaust Denial ................................................................................................................. -

Te stage is set for the fnal week of Daniel’s great prophecy, and this is exactly why Israel is back in the land. ____________ Who says that God is not fnished with national Israel? Te whole Bible says this. It is taught from Genesis to Revelation. Te only way to refute it is to allegorize and spiritualize a vast amount of plain Scripture, which is exactly what Replacement Teology does and which is exactly what we refuse to do. No one is going to rob us of a consistent normal-literal method of interpreting Bible prophecy, because the evidence that this is the proper method of interpretation is overwhelming. ____________ If we use the normal-literal method of interpretation, the whole Bible is found to speak with one thunderous voice about Israel and her future, and a handful of isolated proof texts (selected to support Replacement Teology) cannot change or overthrow this clear teaching. -

The New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) Movement
The New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) Movement Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Arizona. (source: YouTube) Sections 1 Key Points 5 Tactics 2 Background 6 In Their Own Words - Bigoted comments from pastors affiliated with the New IFB movement 3 Ideology 4 History KEY POINTS 1 / 23 The New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) movement is a loose network of independent churches concentrated in the U.S. connected by their belief in certain religious doctrines and a shared brand of deeply anti- LGBTQ and antisemitic teachings. Pastor Steven Anderson founded the movement’s flagship, Faithful Word Baptist Church in Arizona in 2005, though most of the churches affiliated with the movement today were founded in the past five years. New IFB pastors frequently call for LGBTQ people to be killed and make other disparaging, violent remarks about the LGBTQ community. New IFB pastors promote antisemitism, claiming that Jewish people today worship Satan and are not “true” Jews. Unlike many traditional evangelical Christian churches, the New IFB is staunchly anti-Zionist. An extensive digital strategy allows New IFB pastors to reach millions of people online, despite attempts by tech companies to deplatform New IFB- affiliated channels for hate speech violations. The New IFB movement is not affiliated with any mainstream Baptist denominations. BACKGROUND The New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) movement is a loose, growing network of approximately 30 churches in the United States and around the world that promotes hate and bigotry under the guise of religious doctrine. Anti-LGBTQ bigotry and antisemitism are fundamental to New IFB ideology, as demonstrated by the doctrinal statements on their websites and the content of their sermons. -
