The Silence Regarding The Persecution Of Christians

 

The Silence Regarding the Persecution of Christians by Robert Weissberg over at American Thinker

In case you haven't noticed, thousands -- perhaps millions -- of Christians living in Muslim nations are being prosecuted, even brutally murdered. For example, in Nigeria in 2011, the Muslim extremist group Boko Haram killed 510 Christians and destroyed more than 350 churches using guns, gasoline bombs, and even machetes, all the while shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great"). On Christmas Day alone they slaughtered 42 Catholics. Similar attacks have occurred in Iraq (our "ally"), where since 2003 more than 900 Iraqi Christians have died from terrorist attacks in Baghdad alone while half of all Iraqi Christians have fled the country (see here and here).

 

Details aside, this violent persecution is much the same in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia (home to one million Christian guest workers), Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, Iran, and Indonesia. According to a Pew Forum study, Christians are being persecuted in 131 of the world's 193 countries (200 million according to the World Evangelical Alliance). (These data are reported in David Aikman, "The Worldwide Attack on Christians" Commentary, February 2012). Syria may be the next venue for attacking Christians if the Assad regime falls. And there is nothing on the horizon that suggests that anti-Christian violence will recede.

What If Christians In America Reacted Like Muslims In Afghanistan

 

Mark raises a very good question. It worth the read to see his analysis of the situation. 

 

What If Christians in America Reacted Like Muslims in Afghanistan- by Mark over at Mark America

 

I can’t help but notice that the President and his friends in the leftist establishment press are offering a dangerous precedent for anybody who wants to notice it. As Barack Obama apologizes to the Taliban, Afghans, and Muslims everywhere for the inadvertent burning of a few copies of the Qur’an, the reaction is even more strident and increasingly violent. The more violent they become, the more Obama and his friends in the press grovel, to the extent that he’s now got the entire military chain of command making apologies and running around in panic that they have offended Islam. Watching all of this, I had a sudden thought: What would happen if American Christians reacted to the contraception mandate in precisely the same way? Would Obama grovel before them too, or like his bowing all over the Middle East, is that reserved solely for the Muslim world? To watch this president in action is to observe a slow-motion train-wreck, if you believe he’s incompetent, but I no longer hold that view. No president could act so recklessly. If Christians reacted in a more vociferous manner, would President Obama apologize and grovel for them too, or would he crack down on his own countrymen, as I suspect?

 

This display couldn’t be more disgusting, and yet, given the way Christians and others of faith(excepting Muslims) are treated by the current administration, maybe that’s the answer: Americans of faith are simply too docile, and too willing to “turn the other cheek.” Of course, as Americans of faith have long since discovered, when it comes to the Obama administration, and the mainstream media, turning the other cheek has begun to give the appearance of somebody watching a tennis match. Christians particularly have taken a beating from this administration, and Obama’s willing accomplices in the media carry out shameless attacks on people of faith under the general auspices of “reporting the news.”

 

I realize Christians are not very likely to “go Taliban” as the Afghans have been doing this week, but the reaction of the Obama administration may offer a bit of a clue. I’m not advocating violence, of course, but maybe it’s time to put together a “million Christian march” or some such thing to remind the administration Who is in charge. Apparently, the administration is quite fearful of the mess now ongoing in Afghanistan, and at the rate things are going, I can see us evacuating via helicopter off the roof of our embassy there. Not satisfied to turn the fight into Vietnam out in the field, the liberals are accomplishing the seemingly impossible: We’re going to wind up with video out of Afghanistan very much like we saw as the United States evacuated from Saigon, leaving people desperate to escape clamoring to be lifted out too. Leftists everywhere will celebrate.

CAIR Not Saying A Word About The Chinese Police Trashing A Mosque In Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China

 

I have to ask the CAIR why aren’t they saying anything about trashing of a Muslim mosque and fellow Muslims in China. Is it because of these Muslims skin color? Is it because these Muslims are Oriental? Or don’t they give a care for their fellow Muslims? Are you afraid of the Chinese government? I think the answer to that question is no.  I have seen on TV and heard Muslims fight fiercely against their foes. Again I ask why aren’t you speaking against this travesty against your fellow brothers. It is time to show the love CAIR on a real cause. Stop the crickets from chirping in the silence.

 

Just in case, your wondering what I am talking about here is an article that talks about it:

 

Chinese police demolish mosque by Jeff Treesh

Hundreds of Muslims fought with armed police who demolished a mosque in north China, local police and a human rights group said on Monday, with several people injured in the "riot".

 

The violence between local Muslims and roughly 1,000 armed police began after police declared illegal a newly renovated mosque in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and moved to destroy it, the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy, in Hong Kong, said.

 

Two people were killed and 50 injured and more than 100 detained, after police fired tear gas and used knives and batons to beat back ethnic Hui Muslim protesters in Taoshan village, Hexi township, the rights group said, citing villagers.

Ranting At The Fed Up Party Again

 

Yeah, I went  to the Fed Up Party to rant again and to  give a couple of Hallelujah Moments.

Fed up moments

• I  am fed up with Michael Moore. Deadly weapons were use at Tiananmen Square not spray. People were killed at Tiananmen Square not at UC-Davis.  Geez, he needs to get a clue on comparing incidents.
• I am fed up with UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi. The campus police wasn’t using brutality they were using pepper spray instead of weapons. Wondering if she was wearing the wrong eyeglasses?
• I am fed up with cupcake cops. These kind of cops need keep their  noses out of our children’s birthday cupcakes or be arrest for harassing little children.
• I am fed up with the liberal media. Those witch-hunters should look at themselves to burn at the stake for abuse.
• I am fed up with Nancy Pelosi. The woman needs to get off Kool-aid and start praying to get her life in order.
• I am fed up with listening and hearing liberal talk. My doctor told me to stop listening and reading liberal talk. He was afraid I would overdose on aspirin because it gave me a headache.
• I am fed up with atheists.  You can’t tell these people ‘Happy Thanksgiving’, they get offended so you have them ‘Happy Turkey Day’.
• I am fed up with the occupy movement. How dare they threaten to occupy Black Friday. They’re turning out to be Grinchs and Scrooges besides rioters.
• I am fed up with these mayors in these ‘Occupy’ cities. Why are they still letting occupiers run ramped? Are these mayors waiting for a innocent person to get hurt by ‘Occupiers’?
• I am fed up with Janeane Garofalo. She thinks she knows about racism but doesn’t. She needs to get off the Kool-aid.

Hallelujah Moments

• Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) stuck up for Rep. Michele Bachmann for the lack of an apology from NBC. She said she disagrees with Bachmann politically but that no woman should have to face such disrespect. Bachmann: NBC owes me an apology
• NBC apologizes to Rep. Michele Bachmann. NBC executive apologizes to Bachmann for Fallon intro music
• "All-American Muslim," a new program on The Learning Channel that is being touted as a "powerful series" that carries viewers "inside the rarely seen world of American Muslims," is being dropped by advertisers. Advertisers fleeing All-American Muslim 'propaganda'

TWO THOUSAND ONE, NINE ELEVEN

 

Image by remusandcole via Flickr

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two thousand one, nine eleven

Five thousand plus arrive in heaven

As they pass through the gate,

Thousands more appear in wait

A bearded man with stovepipe hat

Steps forward saying, "Lets sit, lets chat"

They settle down in seats of clouds

A man named Martin shouts out proud

"I have a dream!" and once he did

The Newcomer said, "Your dream still lives."

Groups of soldiers in blue and gray

Others in khaki, and green then say

"We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine"

The Newcomer said, "You died not in vain."

From a man on sticks one could hear

"The only thing we have to fear.

The Newcomer said, "We know the rest,

Trust us sir, we've passed that test."

"Courage doesn't hide in caves

You can't bury freedom, in a grave,"

The Newcomers had heard this voice before

A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannis port shores.

A silence fell within the mist

Somehow the Newcomer knew that this

Meant time had come for her to say

What was in the hearts of the five thousand

plus that day.

"Back on Earth, we wrote reports,

Watched our children play in sports

Worked our gardens, sang our songs

Went to church and clipped coupons

We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought

Unlike you, great we're not"

The tall man in the stovepipe hat

Stood and said, "Don't talk like that!

Look at your country, look and see

You died for freedom, just like me."

Then, before them all appeared a scene

Of rubble streets and twisted beams

Death, destruction, smoke and dust

And people working just 'cause they must

Hauling ash, lifting stones,

Knee deep in hell, but not alone

"Look! Blackman, White man, Brown man, Yellow

man

Side by side helping their fellow man!"

So said Martin, as he watched the scene

"Even from nightmares, can be born a dream."

Down below three firemen raised

The colors high into ashen haze

The soldiers above had seen it before

On Iwo Jima back in '44

The man on sticks studied everything closely

Then shared his perceptions on what he saw

mostly

"I see pain, I see tears,

I see sorrow - but I don't see fear."

"You left behind husbands and wives

Daughters and sons and so many lives

Are suffering now because of this wrong

But look very closely. You're not really gone.

All of those people, even those who've never

met you

All of their lives, they'll never forget you

Don't you see what has happened?

Don't you see what you've done?

You've brought them together, together as one."

With that the man in the stovepipe hat said

"Take my hand," and from there he led

Five thousand plus heroes, Newcomers to heaven

On this day, two thousand one, nine eleven
