Saudi Arabia (MNN) ― Earlier this month news reports surfaced out of Saudi Arabia that raised the red flag for Christians.
Todd Nettleton, a spokesman for the Voice of the Martyrs USA,
says, "The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia--the top Islamic official in
the country of Saudi Arabia--has declared that it is "necessary to
destroy all the churches of the region.'" Nettleton goes on to note
that the report hasn't surfaced anywhere except on the Council on
Foreign Relations Web site, which was then picked up by The Atlantic.

Mississippi, America's poorest, fattest and most religious state, is aiming to set yet another record in U.S. history – to become the nation's first abortion-free state.
And the Rev. Flip Benham of Operation Save America says his organization is working hard to make it happen.In a press statement on Thursday, Benham noted that Mississippi currently has a strong desire to become the first abortion-free state in America and "authorities" were moving to shut down the state's only abortion center in Jackson run by Planned Parenthood. Details of the move are expected to be revealed at a press conference in Hattiesburg on Friday evening.
"Mississippians have done everything possible to eliminate the horror of abortion from their state. From the Governor, through the Congress, to the Health Department, the electorate has sounded a clear trumpet call to end abortion in the state of Mississippi," noted Benham in the statement.
The church in Mississippi, he said, had answered the call to rid the state of abortion by keeping tabs on the activities of Planned Parenthood which has benefitted from significant federal funding to keep operating in the state.

John Kerry is calling for the release of an Iranian-American minister
from a Tehran prison: a welcome step for advocates who had accused the
State Department of being "AWOL" on the case.
"I am deeply concerned about the fate of U.S citizen Saeed Abedini, who has been detained for nearly six months and was sentenced to eight years in prison in Iran on charges related to his religious beliefs," Kerry said in a prepared statement.
He continued, "I am disturbed by reports that Mr. Abedini has suffered physical and psychological abuse in prison, and that his condition has become increasingly dire."
