.- A
conference next week promises to address Christian singling out around
the world and in the media. The conference, called The War On
Christians and the Values Voter in 2006, will be held March 27-28 at
the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC.
The organizers
pointed to Abdul Rahman’s trial in Afghanistan and the recent release
of the anti-Christian film V for Vendetta to demonstrate the urgent
need at this time for the conference.
Rahman could
face a possible death penalty for converting to Christianity from Islam
16 years ago. Human rights watchers indicate that there are other
similar cases of Christian persecution in the Muslim world.
V for Vendetta
depicts a future Christian dictatorship in Britain that crushes dissent
and persecutes other faiths. This is only one of a number of
productions coming out of Hollywood that misrepresent Christianity or
are outright anti-Christian.
For this reason,
the conference will include a panel discussion March 28 called
Hollywood: Christians Through A Distorted Lens. Panelists include Ted
Baehr of MovieGuide.org, Bob Knight of Concerned Women for America and
Rebecca Hagelin of the Heritage Foundation.
Other keynote
speakers at the conference include Rick Scarborough, Phyllis Schlafly,
Senator John Cornyn, Gary Bauer, Congressman Tom DeLay, Janet Parshall,
Senator Sam Brownback, Janet Folger and Alan Keyes.
