1.Michigan city could become first in U.S. under Muslim control - One News Now
A Detroit-area newspaper says the results of Tuesday's primary could lead to Hamtramck, Michigan, becoming the first city council in the U.S. to be controlled by Muslims. The Detroit News says there are four Muslims in the Tuesday primary. If they are among the candidates who win and go on to run in the November election, they would have a chance to join a fifth Muslim who already sits on the six-member council and is up for re-election in 2009.
Hamtramck -- historically a refuge for Catholic immigrants mostly from Poland and Ukraine -- was at the center of a controversy three years ago over an initiative allowing amplified calls to prayer from the city's mosques.
· Pray that the Lord will move Christians to run for office in this city and will give these Christians favor in the eyes of the electorate. Hamtramck's large Muslim population would seem to insure a Muslim city council, But God...Find this city on a Michigan map, lay hands on the city, and call forth God's blessing.

.. What's next??2. Jihad Watch Director and YAF Defy CAIR - CNSNews.com ("It is a common tactic of both the left and the Islamic advocacy groups in America to accuse every critic of purveying hatred and bigotry," said Spencer.
America's largest and most well-financed Islamic advocacy group has been called out for allegedly hiring terrorist sympathizers and for helping to advance a radical ideology incompatible with the principles of a free society. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) bills itself as a civil rights organization and as a responsible voice of moderation. But its history, legal activities, and financial ties suggest otherwise, said Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch.
· Praise the Lord that the truth about the attitude and activities of CAIR are being revealed. Praise the Lord for Robert Spencer and his work with Jihad Watch. Pray for God's net to be spread over the USA so that any predator "fish" is caught before it can create harm. Ask the Lord to bring this news to the American people through all the media.

While not all our soldiers are men of integrity, they are not fighting in Iran to destroy life wantonly. Cry out for the souls of our soldiers that they may know salvation in Jesus Christ. Call for the malfunctioning of this new bomb.

The United States intends to freeze the financial assets of anybody deemed an opponent of the government of Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora.
· Praise the Lord for this order by President Bush. Syria thinks that it can play games with the USA and maintain its close ties with Russia and Iran. Lebanon has established itself as a democracy but has little power because of the presence of Hizbollah sponsored by Syria. Pray that this move by Bush will have impact on Syria.

Crews hoping to get food and air to six coal miners in Utah drilled to within about 1,000 feet of the trapped men Wednesday, and hoped to reach them in about two days, one of the mine's owners said. It still isn't known whether the miners were alive more than two days after the initial cave-in.
