This post by a well known author presents some excellent background  which may be unkown to many. by RAYMOND IBRAHIM: While Christianity continues to be physically erased from the Middle East, lesser known is that its historical role and presence is also being expunged from memory. Last month a video emerged showing Islamic State members tossing hundreds of Christian textbooks, many of them emblazoned with crosses, into a large bonfire. As one report put it, ISIS was "burning Christian textbooks in an attempt to erase all traces of" Christianity from the ancient region of Mosul, where Christianity once thrived for centuries before the rise of Islam. As usual, ISIS is ultimately an extreme example of Islam's normative approach. This was confirmed during a recent conference in Amman, Jordan hosted by the Jerusalem Center for Political Studies. While presenting, Dr. Hena al-Kaldani, a Christian, said that "there is a complete cancelation of Arab Christian h...

 I've been worried about this wannabe Ottoman Caliph for a while. Things are going from horrendous to undisguised genocide regarding Islamic actions towards Christianity in the Middle East. The end may well be much closer than we thought. There will be much blood. The Government Of Turkey Is Now Confiscating Christian Churches And Will Be Demolishing Them. Antichrist Empire Of Turkey Is Also Planning To Slaughter All Christians   By Walid Shoebat Turkey’s ancient church buildings –some of which pre-date Islam– have been managed, historically, by church foundations. Erdogan just confiscated them to redesign them into Muslim Ottoman style mosques. Erdogan last week also just took control of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation from Egypt which represents the body of 57 Muslim states. He called the OIC to create a Muslim union and to initiate an international Muslim Police to go after Islamophobia (that would be people like us). He is also passing a new bill that will all...

Horror for Christians in the Islamic world. by  Raymond Ibrahim : Muslim Attacks on Christian Churches: Iraq: The Islamic State detonate d the nation’s oldest Christian monastery, St. Elijah’s. . The 27,000-square-foot building had stood near Mosul for 14 centuries. For several years, prior to 2009, U.S. soldiers protected and sometimes used the monastery as a chapel. “Our Christian history in Mosul is being barbarically leveled,” reported a Roman Catholic priest in Irbil. “We see it as an attempt to expel us from Iraq, eliminating and finishing our existence in this land.” Yet, when Col. Steve Warren, spokesman for America’s military efforts against ISIS, was asked about the status of Christians in Iraq soon after the monastery’s destruction, he replied “ We’ve seen no specific evidence of a specific targeting toward Christians .” Kosovo: Muslims urinated in an Orthodox Christian church in Pristina, the capital. Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic condemned...

There is very little that the entire world seems to agree upon, but there is one very frightening trend that is now taking hold literally all over the globe. A passionate hatred of Christianity is sweeping across the planet, and very few global leaders have been willing to step forward and speak out against this rising persecution of Christians . In many parts of the Middle East, Africa and Asia, believers are being relentlessly attacked by extremists,churches are being destroyed, and laws are being passed to try to prevent the spread of the Christian faith. In some areas, the violence has become so extreme that Christians knowingly risk their own lives just to go to church services each week. Would you risk your life to go to church? In North America and Europe, the persecution is often more subtle . Even though violent attacks are still fairly rare, Christian beliefs are being undermined by new laws, comedians and television shows regularly mock the Christian faith, and many e...
