Media Neglects Muslim Eradication of Christians

BQI Editor’s Note

This is an excellent article that highlights the various nations where Christians are being persecuted.  

by:   Raymond Ibrahim

 The beginning of the New Year saw only an increase in the oppression of Christians under Islam, from Nigeria, where an all-out jihad has been declared in an effort to eradicate the Muslim north of all Christians, to Europe, where Muslim converts to Christianity are still hounded and attacked as apostates. According to the Chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, "The flight of Christians out of the region is unprecedented and it's increasing year by year"; in our life time alone, he predicts "Christians might disappear altogether from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt."

VANDAL TEARS UP BIBLE, DESECRATES COMMUNION BREAD & STEALS $10,000 DURING VICIOUS TX CHURCH ATTACK

A crook has wreaked major havoc on a church in Irving, Texas, after he viciously vandalized its sanctuary and stole thousands of dollars. The startling attack on Iglesia Santa Maria de Guadalupe, a Lutheran church, left windows broken and a church community shaken up last weekend.

The Rev. Pedro Portillo, the faith leader at the church, described the disturbing anti-religious elements of the crime, saying “The guy who [got] into the church, he did a lot of disgraceful things.”

University Student Vindicated After Expulsion for Religious Beliefs

(Billy Hathorn)

Julea Ward has been vindicated. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit on Friday ruled in the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) graduate student’s favor in the case that sought justice after the university expelled her from a counseling program for her religious beliefs.

In a strongly worded opinion, the court reversed a district court decision in favor of the university and sent the case back for trial, saying “a reasonable jury could conclude that Ward’s professors ejected her from the counseling program because of hostility toward her speech and faith …”

Pope Warns Of Threat To Freedom Of Religion, Conscience In U.S.

Pope Benedict XVI warned visiting U.S. bishops that “radical secularism” threatens the core values of American culture, and he called on the church in America, including politicians and other laypeople, to render “public moral witness” on crucial social issues.

The pope spoke Jan. 19 to a group of U.S. bishops who were in Rome for their periodic “ad limina” visits, which included meetings with the pope and Vatican officials, covering a wide range of pastoral matters.

Opening with a dire assessment of the state of American society, the pope told the bishops that “powerful new cultural currents” have worn away the country’s traditional moral consensus, which was originally based on religious faith as well as ethical principles derived from natural law.

Christianity Under Fire by Radical Islam

By: MARSHALL FRANK

The stage is set. Christians in Islamic Africa and the Islamic-dominated middle east are on the chopping block and barely a peep is heard from the left-leaning media.

So much for the Arab Spring rebels seeking freedom. They were seeking freedom all right, freedom to kill, pillage and ethnically cleanse without reprisals.

Little attention is given in the media to the new crises being suffered by Christians in Islamic nations. With the de facto backing that the United States government has provided the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and other places, they are doing exactly what their manifestos have predicted which is to fundamentally Islamize the region.  To do that, is to oust non-Muslims.

Where’s the outrage? Where’s the UN?  Where’s the Obama administration?

A MONTH OF CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION

This morning, I wrote about my family’s enjoyment of the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, Christians cannot celebrate Christmas safely. In Nigeria, Islamic terrorists bombed three churches on Christmas day, killing at least 40 worshippers. But that was only the latest of many outrages. Persecution of Christians has reached new heights this year.

At the Middle East Forum, Raymond Ibrahim sums up acts of anti-Christian persecution that have occurred. One really can’t get the impact without reading the whole thing, so I am taking the liberty of reproducing the whole article, leaving out the links which you can follow in the original:
