Just days before the government of Sudan allowed Christian mother Meriam Ibrahim to leave the country, it imposed a new ban on church construction.
Well, it's about time. The Muslim Brotherhood has been banned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE and is being investigated by David Cameron's government in Great Britain.
Now, finally, a move is underway to outlaw the Brotherhood--the grandaddy of all modern Islamic terrorist groups--right here in the United States. Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has introduced a bill in the House that would designate the MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, or FTO.
This week on Jerusalem Dateline: The fighting in Gaza intensifies. Israel takes out Hamas tunnels while Hamas attacks scare the international community into cutting flights to Israel.
Meanwhile, the United Nations investigates Israel's conduct in Gaza, but British Col. Richard Kemp says they should be taking a closer look at Hamas.
Also, despite the conflict, churches in Gaza and the West Bank are preaching a message of peace.

My father--a World War II veteran--often told me that history has a strange way of repeating itself.
Seventy years after the Nazis forced Jews to wear Yellow Star of David patches on their clothing to mark them for persecution and extermination, another holocaust is under way.
This time, it's Middle East Christians instead of European Jews. But the evil tactics are much the same.
Dan Gordon, a volunteer with Sar-El and a reserve captain in the IDF, told CBN News that the West needs to understand that when Israel pulled Israelis out of thriving communities in the Gaza Strip nearly nine years ago, Hamas took over and turned the place into a terror camp.
This happened even though Israel offered to help the Palestinians there.
It's a headline that broke the collective heart of our newsroom:
"Ancient Christian community in Iraq is no more"
For about 2,000 years, Iraqi Christians - a small but significant minority - have called Iraq home. Today, that group is being systematically targeted for annihilation.
I know it may seem shocking to you but The Washington Post’s editorial board blasted Hamas for their “tunnel vision.”
Read below. It’s refreshing to see The Washington Post “intellectuals” understanding the real problem.

Sen. Marco Rubio didn’t hold back today at Catholic University when talking about traditional American values.
Instead of shying away from the now controversial topic of marriage (ridiculous), Rubio had the following stern rebuke for homosexuals who seem to think anyone who is against gay marriage is a bigot.
For years, Israel has treated Palestinians with difficult medical problems from the Gaza Strip and other areas, in Israeli hospitals.
Ironically, those hospitals sometimes come under fire.

Lobel, deputy director of Ashkelon's Barzilai Hospital near the Israeli-Gaza border, told us one Palestinian woman's story.
