Will Reform Bring Peace to the Islamic World?
Is a Peaceful Reform in Islam's Future?

 In speaking at the National Press Club on Tuesday, best-selling author, former Muslim and outspoken critic of Islam, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, offered five amendments to the religion of Islam that Muslims should take seriously if they really want to bring about a peaceful reformation to their religion.

Christian Post Report – In discussing her new book, Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now, Hirsi Ali explained that in the last five years she has seen a wave of Muslims throughout the world express interest in reforming Islam so that it is not brutally oppressive toward women, those who break Islamic law, and religious minorities.

Hirsi Ali, who is originally from Somalia and is a survivor of genetal mutialiation, further explained that Islam needs to follow in the footsteps of Christianity and Judaism, which have both previously undergone their own reformation periods.

She highlighted the groundbreaking speech given by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in front of clerics at the prestigious Al-Azhar University in January, in which he proclaimed that it is time for an Islamic “religious revolution” that embraces peace.

Christian Post Report – The Incredibles

Disney CEO Bob Iger announced at an investor meeting in March 2014 that Pixar was developing two more sequels to go along with the upcoming ‘Toy Story 4’ and ‘Finding Dory’. They are believed to be ‘Cars 3’ and ‘Christian Post Report – The Incredibles 2′, the follow up to the hit animated film that tells the story of the Parr family, a family of superheroes from writer/ director Brad Bird.

Speaking to NPR this week, Bird confirmed that the film is indeed well on its way.

“I’m just starting to write it,” he revealed. “So we’ll see what happens.”

‘Christian Post Report – The Incredibles’ is one Pixar film that moviegoers have been eager to see a sequel for. The film ended on a cliffhanger, with the entire family gearing up to fight a new villain called The Underminer.

Several plot lines for the sequel have been speculated over the years, with one of the more persistent rumors claiming that it will pick up on the Underminer storyline. Some fans believe that there will be a big time jump between the first and second movies, with the kids all grown up, and the youngest, Jack-Jack, now in his pre-teen years.

At the moment, no official director has been announced for the film.

No release date has been announced officially for the film, but Pixar has already penciled in November 22, 2017 and June 15, 2018 for their upcoming projects, and it is rumored that these dates are when fans will finally get to see ‘Cars 3’ and ‘Christian Post Report – The Incredibles 2′, though it is still uncertain as to which film will premiere ahead of the other.

‘The Big Bang Theory’ Season 8 Spoilers: Episode 20 Recap ‘The Fortification Implementation’

Christian Post Report – This week on “The Big Bang Theory,” it’s all about building meaningful relationships when Howard meets the brother he never knew he had, Amy tries her best to cheer up Sheldon after he wasn’t chosen to attend a symposium at one of his idols’ house, and Kevin Smith tells Penny that he’d love to cast her in a movie.

Howard has his lawyer track down his father so he can sign over the title of the house. As he never had any intention to meet him, Howard is relieved that he doesn’t have to meet or talk to his father. The next day, the doorbell rings, and when Howard opens the door, he sees a young man in glasses grinning at him. His name is Josh, and Howard learns that he’s his half-brother.

Raj is immediately suspicious as he’s convinced that Josh needs something from Howard—why else would he appear so suddenly in Howard’s life? Howard is devastated at the thought of his father living his life with another family, and just as he’s about to ask Josh to leave, he catches him staring admiringly at his NASA headshot. This makes Howard decide to bond with his brother and before long, they discover that they share a love for science and magic.

Meanwhile, its date night at Sheldon’s place, and Amy is starting to get miffed because he’s still moping about not getting invited to attend a symposium at the former home of famed physicist Richard Feynman. Sheldon says that being left out reminds him of the time when his siblings never let him play in their forts, so Amy decides to cheer him up by building a fort.

Later, Amy asks if she can sleepover, and Sheldon says that this is a big step for them. Amy tells him that it’s a big fort. Sheldon says yes, and when he offers to lend her pajamas and a toothbrush, Amy reveals her emergency supplies that she’s hidden all over his place just in case she finally gets to sleepover.

At Penny’s, Will Wheaton is interviewing her for his podcast. He tells her that their movie, which was panned by critics, has a cult following. Later, Kevin Smith calls in and berates Will, then he tells Penny that he would love to cast her in a movie.

Leonard thinks that this is a bad idea since Penny now has a successful career. They argue, and it’s revealed that Penny is earning more than him and that she has started investing wisely. Worried, Leonard asks Penny to do something reckless to prove that she doesn’t think that she’s better than him. She tells him ok—she’s going to audition for Kevin Smith’s movie.

“The Big Bang Theory” airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.

CFL 2015 News, Rumors: League Adopts Major Rule Changes

CFL 2015 News, Rumors: League Adopts Major Rule Changes

Christian Post Report – The Canadian Football League has approved major rule changes for the 2015 season. Most of the new rules deal with the point after conversion with an emphasis on making that play less automatic and create a more exciting convert attempt for the fans.

The CFL’s President and Chief Operating Office Matt Copeland made the following statements as reported by CFL.ca: “The Board endorsed the view that this is a great time for our league to innovate. We’re looking forward to putting in place changes that have the potential to improve an already great game.”

CFL CFL

The CFL has made major rule changes for the 2015 season

The one point kick which was being snapped at the 12 yard line will now be moved back to the 32 yard line. In 2014 99.4 percent of the single point kicks were successful, which makes for boring play. In field goals attempted from the 31-33 yard line, the percentage dropped to 81 percent, which makes a one point convert less of an automatic play.

In another rule the CFL moved the two point convert from the five yard line to the three. This was done in an attempt to get more coaches to take the risk of the two point play and create more exciting plays on the field. In 2014 only 30 percent of two-point conversions were successful, but the league as a whole only attempted 23 of them.

Beyond making for exciting single play in a game, the new rules could bring about a interesting scoring dynamic. If more scores are of six and eight points, then late game strategy could wind up being radically different. If a kicker struggles from 32 yards more CFL coaches may opt for the two-point try to make up for misses. Either way this is a growing trend in football and the NFL will likely adopt similar rules at the league meeting in May.

Christian Post Report – The Masters 2015 golf tournament enters its 4th round on Sunday with fans expecting a climax to see who will get hold of the green jacket this year. Jordan Spieth remains at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the third round with a record setting 16 under par, however, England’s Justin Rose has made things interesting with a surge late on in Day 3 to go 12 under par, meaning everything is still to play for. Coverage of Day 4 of The Masters 2015 can be watched on TV, with the live broadcast on The Golf Channel starting at 9.30 a.m. ET, and CBS at 2 p.m. ET. Tee Off time for the final pairing of Spieth and Rose is at 2.50 p.m. ET, and the day’s golf can also be watched online through free live stream (details below).

Jordan Spieth has had a record setting three days at The Masters 2015, but on the third day he did have a few anxious moments, especially towards the final few holes. But despite a little wobble, Spieth enters Day 4 with a four shot lead over his nearest rival, and with just 18 holes remaining, he is a big favorite to take the green jacket.

Spieth’s 2 under par round of 70 on Saturday ensured that he broke the 54-hole Masters scoring record; his 16 under par of 500 besting Tiger Wood’s 15 under par set years ago.

Rose has made the final day interesting, shooting a 5 under par 67 on Day 3 to draw him just back into contention and ensuring that there will still be a degree of pressure on Spieth going into the final round.

Phil Mickelson also put on a good show in Day 3, ensuring that he enters the final round with 11 under par, and arguably is also still in the running. Mickelson will be in the next to last grouping with Charley Hoffman for Day 4.

Justin Verlander Injury Latest News 2015: Verlander on Disabled List After Spring Training Injury

Justin Verlander Injury Latest News 2015: Verlander on Disabled List After Spring Training Injury

Christian Post Report – For the first time in his professional career, Justin Verlander has been placed on the disabled list. Verlander strained his triceps in his final Sprint Training start. The Detroit Tigers were hopeful he would be healthy enough to pitch on April 12, but that was not to be. He will be eligible to return April 13.

To replace his spot on the roster, the Tigers will turn to left hander Kyle Lobstein, who never really had a shot to make the big league roster and was assigned to the Triple A Toledo Mud Hens. Lobstein will make the start on April 12 against the Cleveland Indians. Lobstein spent 2014 in Toledo recording a record of 9-11with a 4.07 ERA and 1.479 WHIP.

“It’s disappointing,” Verlander told Mlive.com. “Obviously, everything I’m doing was to try to get ready for Sunday. The days just kind of stack up. I needed to be able to pitch on Tuesday to be able to do that. I just wasn’t ready.”

Now the Tigers have to find a way to get Verlander back into the rotations once he is 100 percent. They will have run through their starting five (four) once this Friday when Alfredo Simon takes the mound in Cleveland. That would leave David Price tentatively set to start Saturday with Lobstein set to go Sunday. The next series is a three-day affair in Pittsburgh.

Tigers’ manager Brad Ausmus said “I can’t tell you where we’re going to slot him in. After Sunday, we can kinda slot him in wherever we want, based on where he is physically and how he feels.”

Detroit Tigers MLB 2015 News, Rumors: Pitcher Joe Nathan on the Disabled List, Who is Left in the Bullpen?

Detroit Tigers MLB 2015 News, Rumors: Pitcher Joe Nathan on the Disabled List, Who is Left in the Bullpen?

Christian Post Report – The Detroit Tigers’ bullpen got a little thinner yesterday. On the same day that the team placed starter Justin Verlander on the disabled list and recalled Kyle Lobstein from Triple A Toledo to take his place, the team also announced the closer Joe Nathan would make a trip to the 15-day disabled list as well. Blaine Hardy has been brought up to fill a spot in the bullpen. Joakim Soria has been named the interim closer, but the team expects Nathan to get healthy and return to that role.

Joe Nathan Reuters.com

Joe Nathan continues to struggle, what will the Detroit Tigers do?

The bullpen is the weakest part of the Tigers 2015 roster. This move leaves the Tigers without a solid 8th inning guy, which is compounded by the fact that they do not have a designated 7th inning guy. However, while some view that as a negative, it gives Manager Brad Ausmus an opportunity to run his bullpen more like famed Tigers skipper Sparky Anderson. Ausmus has a week or so to use guys in multiple roles and to see exactly what he has in the pen and who can be counted on down the road.

Even though Nathan earned his first save of the year on Opening Day, it seems he has been battling arm soreness for a bit now.

“From what he said and from how his face looked, you could tell it was bothering him quite a bit,” Ausmus said. “From the time I’ve known him, he’s never said I can’t throw, and today, in not so many words, he said, ‘I probably shouldn’t throw today,’ which tells me it was really bothering him.”

Recalling Hardy now gives the Tigers three left-handed relievers which is kind of rare. Tom Gorzelanny and Ian Krol are the other two, and Gorzelanny is a veteran brought in over the off season while Krol is the last piece left over from the Doug Fister trade. That seems to indicate Ausmus wants options in his pen for the time being.

NASCAR 2015 News: All-Star Race Changes Announced – More Laps Added

Christian Post Report – NASCAR has announced changes to its All-Star race, which is an annual event held each May at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This will be the 31st installment of the Sprint All Star race and its format has been altered significantly.

All Star Race NASCAR

NASCAR has announced rules and format changes for its annual All Star Race

The race will now be a 110-lap affair. The first four segments will be 25 laps a piece and the final leg will be a 10 lap shootout. The race will feature a minimum of 20 drivers. 17 of those drivers are now set, with two spots being reserved for winner of the Sprint Showdown segment, a race that is held directly before the All-Star race, and a final fan vote will set the field.

Race winners from the 2014-15 Sprint Cup series are eligible for the race as long as all past NASCAR Sprint Cup Champions and previous winners of the All Star race itself. This is a slight change in the rules as previous races had been run with drivers accomplishing those things in the past 10 years.

As it stands right now AJ Allmendinger, Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Jamie McMurray, Ryan Newman, and Tony Stewart are eligible for the race.

This is a non-points event with the winner to earn a prize of $1 million dollars. Over the years it has featured some of the best racing on the Sprint Cup circuit as drivers put their cars in situations that would not normally do while racing for points.

In a statement, NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve O’Donnell talked about the changes.

“These updates were made to ensure that our fans have every opportunity to see the best drivers in one of our crown jewel events and give them even more on-track action,” he said. “Expanding this field and adding laps delivers that to our fans, raising the competition level and ensuring that this race continues to be the biggest all-star event in all of sports.”
