Iran sends letter to EU detailing its conditions for nuclear talks with the West
"State TV says Iran has sent a letter to the European Union detailing its conditions for talks about the country's nuclear program and is demanding the EU guarantee there would be no threats against Tehran."




Malachi 3
:

14 "You have said, 'It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? 15 But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.' "

16 Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.

17 "They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

In response, the soldiers, from the French Battalion, fired warning shots in the air."

Islamic hard-liners in Indonesia pledge war against Christians; government remains silent
"A banner with a picture of a young, bespectacled Christian man is draped in front of a mosque, a fiery noose around his neck and the words, 'This man deserves the death penalty!'

Churches are shut down. And an Islamic youth militia held its first day of training."
