Christianity 'Close To Extinction' In Middle East

[Blue Frost]

I have to wonder how many died that came here that Obama had sent back because they where not Muslim.

[Gary Oak]

Great job president Trump ! There are no acts of terrorism by Christian refugees and all acts of terrorism are done by muslims , muslims a persecuting Chritians and Christians aren't persecuting mulims so the math does make it quite clear who we should be helping.

Egypt: Muslim military officers beat soldier to death upon learning he was Christian
JULY 31, 2017 1:02 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 20 COMMENTS

Imagine the outcry, the entirely justified international uproar, that would ensue if Christian officers had beat a Muslim soldier to death. But this incident will pass largely unnoticed.

“Soldier Beaten to Death for His Christian Faith, Relatives Say,” Morning Star News, July 27, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):

CAIRO (Morning Star News) – Egyptian military officers beat a new soldier to death on July 19 upon learning that he was a Christian, relatives said.

Joseph Reda Helmy of Kafr Darwish village, Beni Suef Governorate, had just completed training at Mobarak military training center and was transferred to Al-Salaam special forces police unit, where three officers killed him, relatives told Middle Eastern media. The Egyptian army told relatives Helmy died of an epileptic seizure.

His father, Reda Helmy, told Al Karma TV by phone that his large, strong son had arrived at the camp at 2 p.m. and was dead by 8 p.m. In the same program, the deceased’s cousin, Youssef Zarif, said he received a message at 2 a.m. on July 20 from the Ministry of Interior to come and retrieve Helmy’s body.

When Zarif arrived, he asked to meet an officer and was initially rebuffed. Eventually he met with an officer who told him that Helmy had died of an epileptic seizure. Zarif refused to believe the army explanation, saying Helmy was a healthy, quiet person loved by all in his village of Christians and Muslims. The heavily Muslim country has population that is about 10 percent Christian.

He told Al Karma that the extensive bruising he found on the body did not look like those of an epileptic episode. He said Helmy had bruises on his head, shoulders, neck, back and genitalia, with the worst injuries occurring on his back.

The doctor who examined the body refused to bow to pressure from those who brought it and reported that the cause of death was not natural, Zarif said. A prosecutor accompanying the family firmly concurred and demanded an investigation, he said.

Zarif said he thanked the doctor and prosecutor for not trying to cover up the truth.

The three officers who attacked his cousin are in custody and under investigation, he said.

Zarif said he learned from police and other soldiers that the three officers began to harass Helmy because of his Christian faith, and that the marks on his body indicate they kicked him with their boots and hit him with heavy instruments.

Another cousin, Malak Youakim, confirmed the killing to Alhorreya.TV. Youakim also said Helmy was attacked for his Christian faith.

A Christian leader in Helmy’s home village said many there are in mourning.

“Many women are wearing black, a sign of mourning for the death of one of their Coptic youth,” he told Morning Star News. “Many are sharing the graphic pictures of the bruised body of Joseph Reda Helmy, a new draftee doing his military service.”

He said Helmy had been in the army for only month when he died on July 19.

Several other Coptic Christians have died for their faith while serving in the Egyptian military. On Feb. 17, 2016, the Egyptian military informed the family of Michael Gamel Mansour that the 22-year-old conscript from Assuit had committed suicide. Authorities claimed Mansour, who was assigned to a unit that guards El Gomhoreya Stadium in Cairo, shot himself with a rifle. They asserted that moments before his suicide, Mansour became despondent after a telephone conversation with members of his family….

The Ottoman Empire did the same stuff, but worse when the Armenian genocide started.
Just like in WW2 Germany, many patriotic Jews would have fought on the German side, but the fools went out to kill them all just like most Muslims would them, and Christians.
I feel for his family, so sad in so many ways.

Why aren't there any liberals outraged at these attacks ? Why isn't our jihadist Somalian head of Canadian immigration Ahmed Husen trying to get these Christians into Canada ?

Why Don't We Care About the Slaughter Of Nigerian Christians?

Thousands of Christians are being butchered in Nigeria and whole villages being destroyed. Why are we so unconcerned? Why don't we care? I believe the biggest reason is that we simply don't know about what's happening there. Well, now you know. Here are the facts.

For the last several months, one of my good friends, a Christian missionary serving the poorest of the poor in Nigeria, has been sending me emails with terrifying news. Fulani tribesmen raping and killing villagers. Children being used as Islamic suicide bombers, resulting in scores of casualties. One horrible report after another.

Yet with each email I received, as I scoured the major news agencies in the West, I found nothing reported. Not a word.

At the same time, Nigerian news sources were ablaze with reports of the latest atrocities.

Today, I saw this shocking headline on Jihad Watch: "Nigeria: Muslims wipe out 15 villages in mass slaughter of Christians, government does nothing."

The article began with this quote, "Despite several calls to the governor and his deputy, and other security apparatus, the government remained silent as the atrocities continued. The Fulani were able to carry out their deadly attack. They stayed for hours in the vicinity, moving at will, unchallenged."

How could this be? According to Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, it's because "Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari clearly has no sympathy for the victims. He shares the world view of the jihadi attackers."

When I emailed my friend in Nigeria to ask if this was true, she wrote back immediately:

"This article doesn't state which villages, so I am not sure. It is happening every day. The worst this year was the New Year's Day massacre, followed by a mass burial of 73 victims. There have been many attacks since then. Villages razed, girls and women raped, men butchered. Cutlasses have been replaced by AK-47's. The military has, at times, seemed complicit.

"The president only gets upset when there are reprisal killings of Fulani. He himself is a Fulani man and a cattle-rearer. The stated reason is grazing rights. If you object to cows eating your crops, you, your village and maybe surrounding ones will be attacked. It is in every paper, every day. The nation is smoldering. Only Jesus." (Her closing sentence meant, "Jesus is our nation's only hope.")
She also sent me this YouTube link, viewed over 180,000 times at present, in which a Nigerian social commentator who lives in the States blasts the president's alleged inaction (and, worse still, alleged wrong actions).

The video begins with a clip from a pastor, boldly denouncing wickedness in the government and stating plainly that, "The killing, the killing that is going on in Nigeria shows the irresponsibility of the president called Buhari."

And the pastor urged every Nigerian to fight back, not with weapons but by getting their voter's cards, urging the people not to let wicked men in government to decide their fate. Yes, he bellowed, "Enough is enough!"

As a result of his sermon, we are informed that a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Outrageous? Absolutely. But Nigeria is a nation divided, with a Muslim majority in the north and a Christian majority in the south, with terrorist groups like Boko Haram still on the prowl, and with systemic governmental corruption.

And as Christianity continues to spread across the nation at an exponential pace, so also persecution is spreading. As reported by Christian Today in 2016, "Muslims are converting to Christianity in northern Nigeria amid rapidly rising levels of Christian persecution, which has seen more than ten thousand Christians killed in five years, according to a new report released today.

"While much media attention has been focused on Islamic State and the plight of persecuted minorities in the Middle East, 11,500 Christians in northern Nigeria were killed in five years between 2006-2014, and 13,000 churches were destroyed, forcing 1.3 million Christians to flee to safer areas of the country."

As devastating as these statistics are, they are more likely under-reported than over-reported, which again begs the question: Why don't we care? Why aren't we raising our voices? Why aren't we standing with our fellow-believers in prayer?

Again, I believe it is largely because of our ignorance.

But if you've read this article, you can't claim ignorance any more. And the first thing you can do to help combat these atrocities is share this article with your friends. Let's get educated, let's get praying, and let's get the word out to the rest of the world until the Nigerian government does what is right - or is replaced by leaders who will.

Liberals are all part of the global agenda to destroy the west. Christianity is a predominantly western religion. Destroying it is part of the overall goal to destroy the western civilization, and as we all know, it's well underway in Europe.

It's all about globalism and liberals have allied their globalist agenda with Islam as a means to an end. Destroy Christianity everywhere on the globe and you destroy the glue that for centuries held the western nations together.

It's not rocket science and the motive is obvious. Now, how to stop it before it's too late?

[Odinson]

It does seem the liberals can be turned easily.. Turned to more western centric thinking.

They follow a trend.. Like sheep..

No matter how outrageously dumb the trend is.. They will follow it.


This muslim loving is a recent phenomena.. The same guys/gals who are now supporting muslims, were tearing down muslim idols not too long ago..

[Odinson]

This is what happens when you give voice to people with no self-esteem.. No backbone..


They´ll amputate their legs because its cool to be a cripple.

[Gary Oak]

I think you put it quite well. Liberals are unthinking.

[Odinson]

Liberals would halt the logistics to the city they dwell in if we let them.. Trucks are creating a lot of pollution and they ought to be hated for that reason.


Longterm thinking is not one of their strong areas..

Thinking up suitable replacements for the old ones is not one of their strong areas.


Only thing keeping the west from falling into anarchy is the existence of conservatives.

[Gary Oak]

Muslims must have a satanic drive to kill Christians. Does anybody have a better explanation to why they just want to kill Christians and Jews ? They also fanatically want to ruin anything they can for Christians and Jews as well yet they somehow don't see themselves as evil creatures.

Muslims kill at least 42 Christians in Central African Republic; 10 more killed in Syria

Dozens of people are feared dead after suspected Islamist rebels attacked civilians in the Central African Republic earlier this month.

Sources contacted by World Watch Monitor say as many as 42 were killed in the attack on September 4-5, contradicting earlier reports that between 12 and 14 died.

World Watch Monitor’s sources said the victims were mainly women, who were hacked to death while returning from their farms to the predominantly Christian quarter of Bria, in the centre of the country. The town is the location of PK3, the largest internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in the country.

Some of the victims had gunshot wounds, while others died of machete wounds. At least one was pregnant.

The massacre was attributed to members of the Popular Front for the Central African Renaissance (FPRC), one of the four factions of the now-disbanded Séléka rebel group active in Bria.

Despite the presence of UN peacekeepers, the town of Bria witnessed a wave of violence at the end of August following violent clashes between members of the FPRC and Anti-Balaka vigilantes. The movement of people, including humanitarian workers, is still very limited.

A number of incidents, including armed robberies, kidnappings and other type of attacks against civilians, have been reported and the Christian populations of the town said they had been particularly targeted.

‘They [Seleka militants] don’t want to see any Christians here,’ one church leader said. ‘They say all Christians are Anti-Balaka, so if you are caught, you are gone.’

He added: ‘Christians never go to town. If they do, they are threatened, arrested, and asked to pay fines before they are released. There is no way to move to town. They have barricaded all roads, and if you venture out, you are at your own peril. We Christians have nothing else to do, no food to eat, no place to go. We rely only on prayers. Please pray for us!’

The Bria massacre took place only a few kilometres away from the headquarters of the MINUSCA UN peacekeeping force. On Friday September 7, protesters took the bodies of the victims to MINUSCA headquarters, accusing them of not doing enough to protect civilians. A local aid worker told World Watch Monitor that they had lost trust in UN troops, who ‘tend to act as fire-fighters, waiting to count the death toll, despite the equipment – including aerial material – at their disposal’.

And in Syria, via ‘Massacre of Innocent Christian Civilians’: Al Qaeda Attack Kills Women and Children
Al-Qaeda-linked rebels recently targeted a mostly Christian town in Syria, firing missiles and killing at least 10 people.
Al-Masdar News reported, the jihadist rebels launched the attack last week in response to a large scale buildup of Syrian army troops in northwest Syria. The bombings killed mostly women and children, and severely wounded at least 20 other unarmed civilians.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights those killed included a mother, her 3 children, their grandmother, as well as 2 other sisters and 3 other people.
“The massacre of innocent Christian civilians, including children, in Mhardeh is a tragedy of great proportions,” Claire Evans, regional manager with the International Christian Concern, wrote on their website.
“The carnage of Syria’s civil war has left Christians disproportionately affected, as they have been violently targeted by all sides and factions. As the Syrian war enters what is expected to be the deadliest conflict yet, we must keep the Christians who are trapped in the region in our prayers.”
Opposition-run Shaam News Network reported a publication loyal to the regime posted images of the remnants of cluster bombs. Those are internationally banned and they were carried by the missiles that hit the city. The network noted these types of missiles are owned only by the Assad forces.
Reports say the town is a prime target for groups like Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) due its close proximity to the jihadist-filled surrounding towns.
“All we can do now is to pray,” a local resident told the Norwegian newspaper Dagen. “The only thing we feel is grief. Please pray for us.”

All this stuff escalated thanks to the worlds left wing governments, and they love to ignore the issue since they are Christians being murdered.
The socialist view is you should be bowing to the all powerful state.

[Odinson]

Why does it seem that the west is the only shining light on earth...

[Blue Frost]

It pretty much is, but it's flickering a lot. A few Asian countries are flickering on more, and more thanks to modern ideas, and keeping traditions.

Thats because China and the chinese never harmed anybody like the whites did.. They have the right to keep their traditions..

Throughout history, they never did anything but added some bricks on that damn wall and smoked opium.

[Gary Oak]

You don't know Chinese history very well at all do you. The Manchurians or Qing were deliberately genocided, the destrucion of the Tibetans was called a genocide by the Hageu. The Chinese took the monks and theybwere never seen again. The Mongollians in Inner Mongolia when they took over there were treated even worse. Christians once again are getting mistreated. Have you heard about the Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution ? One province back during the Qing dynasty ordered all foreigners killed including women and children and they were. I can go on but I have things to do right now.

I was being sarcastic..

Every race on the planet is violent and have mistreated others..


But we whites are the ones who should feel guilty about putting down those savages.

[Gary Oaktree]

I agree, white people are one of the few that will tolerate their whining and jealous hatred. You don’t see any native tribes trying to get empathy from other native tribes for taking slaves and women. You don’t see blacks trying to get empathy from Muslims for the1,500 years of taking black slaves because the Muslims have no empathy to give.

[Gary Oak]

Muslims sure can find some ridiculous things to believe. The Coptic Christians and not collecting arms to give to Israel. Who but an inbred freak could believe something so stupid ?

Islamist's Continue To Persecute Egypt's Christian Copts

Islamists and jihadists in Egypt have targeted the Egyptian Coptic Christian minority for decades with bombings and mob attacks on Coptic churches, businesses, and homes. Many are sanctioned by fatwas from radical clerics, Salafist preachers, and Muslim Brotherhood muftis.

The latest attack took place last month in Dimshaw, a village in southern Egypt's Minya governorate. A mob of nearly 1,000 Islamists and Muslim radicals attacked Christians who had gathered in a home to pray. Several homes reportedly were looted and set on fire.

The mob claimed that the Christians didn't have a license, and a rumor spread that they were on the verge of building a new church. A Minya court released 21 of the 25 people arrested in the attack.

Copts often take a passive approach to such crises. "Copts, by nature and by belief, are by far more accepting of death, fate, and all tragedies that befall them," said Egyptian writer and political analyst Azza Sedky. "When one of them dies, they believe he or she has gone to a 'better place.' Acceptance is key."

The 1956 Suez crisis generated xenophobia toward foreigners, driving many out of Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood stepped up activities around that time and "began to play [its] tricks and the antagonism [against religious minorities] intensified, especially in rural areas," Sedky added.

Spreading rumors is a long-standing tactic for the Muslim Brotherhood. In 1947, for example, a Cairo police officer tried to stop an unlicensed Brotherhood political march. The protesters then spread a rumor that the officer tore a copy of the Koran, which triggered a riot in which he was killed. Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna blamed the slain police officer for not acting prudently.

A rumor spread by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1952 claimed that Copts in Suez were colluding with British occupation forces to kill Muslims. As a result, a mob stormed the city and burned several Copts alive, later throwing their bodies into a church that was then burned down. The "Suez Massacre" marked the beginning of a long series of assaults and killings of Copts based on rumors spread by the Brotherhood and other Islamists.

Recent rumors spread by Islamists claimed that Copts were gathering arms in churches to be exported to Israel.

Since the June 2013 Revolution, Egypt's Christians have been blamed for Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi's ouster, with Islamist leaders vowing that Christians would pay a price. They carried through on those threats in August 2013, immediately after the Egyptian army wiped out the Brotherhood's Rabaa armed encampment. Islamists torched 66 Coptic owned buildings, including 49 churches.

Major attacks against Copts continued. A December 2016 bombing at Cairo's St. Mark Church during Sunday Mass killed 29 people and injured 48 others. A twin bombing four months later targeted a Palm Sunday service the St. Mark Church in Alexandria and St. George Church in the Nile Delta city of Tanta north of Cairo. At least 45 people were killed and 126 were injured.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi vowed to protect the Christian minority, but that message has not yet led to stricter enforcement of laws on assailants and radicals who incite violence.

A new church-building law aimed at helping Copts may actually create harm, said Mohamed Abu Hamed, the deputy head of the Egyptian Parliament's "Solidarity Committee," which is designated to introduce laws and recommendations for social justice. The law should have applied to all places of worship, he said, but covers only church construction.

The latest attack on Christians in Minya may indicate a return to a pattern of attacking Copts during prayer services. In July 2015, radicals attacked a house designated to the Copts as a church. Salafi radicals stoned those gathered, but fled when security forces arrived. They came back and threw Molotov cocktails at the gathered Copts.

For decades, local authorities approved "customary reconciliations" to resolve disputes, including those between Muslims and Christians. Community leaders, heads of families, tribal leaders, and local authority figures meet to try to resolve conflicts without going to court. But they don't always produce just outcomes, Abu Hamed said.

On a similar note, Coptic Bishop Macarius rejected all forms of unofficial reconciliation.

Conditions for Copts are improving despite these troubles, Sedky said, but "as with everything else, it will take generations to overcome an ingrained hatred that was left to flourish for years."

The current atmosphere is still ripe for the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists to spew their poisonous ideologies, lies, and rumors, Abu Hamed said. He blames a tepid effort from Al Azhar -- Sunni Islam's most prestigious institution -- to reform religious curriculum; a significant Muslim Brotherhood and Salafi presence in key positions within state religious institutions; and Muslim Brotherhood control of mosques that spread hateful ideology despite a state ban.

Until reform happens, Egypt's Coptic population will remain threatened by violence from radical groups. Safety cannot be attained simply through security measures. Social measures, including educational and social reforms and the full application of the law, are required to create full equality for all Egyptians.

Not one people in this world is innocent when it comes down to it, only the average person is that wanted to just live.
Soldiers do as ordered, they have some blame, but the real blame comes down to leadership.
China, as in the nation has done major wrongs, but before China existed they where fighting, and slaughtering all over to become China as i know you know.
Odinson was joking, but the sad thing is people believe in what he said just like they do the noble Indians garbage, and White Devil BS.
