OPPRESSION: Fear merchants Shanghai their losses!

Europe, the Missionaries’ Battle Ground | Brussels Journal

The plight of converts to Christianity in Muslim countries is well known. What is less known is the plight of Muslim converts to Christianity in Western Europe. Last week Dutch television broadcast a documentary which shows how former Muslims in the Netherlands are frequent victims of intimidation and violence.

Organized or unprovoked violence against one group by another group (or on behalf of another group) is rooted deeply in fear, intended to intimidate a group's and its member's views ... to coerce actions and conform attitudes consistent with those of the attackers.

An ancillary objective is to intimidate those who might find comfort in the actions and attitudes of the victims before the attack.

The attacks in the BJ article are clearly Cristophobic with the intent of spreading fear of becoming a Christian and fear of Christianity itself.

MUSLIMS: Iraqi Muslims step up Christian pogroms!

Iraqi Archbishop: Christians Face 'Liquidation' | Christian Post

A systematic effort to rid Iraq of its Christian citizens has been going on since 2003 ...

The most senior Catholic cleric in Iraq warned that Christians in his country face “liquidation” if the Iraqi government and the U.S. military do not step-up protection for religious minorities in Iraq.

“We are the target of a campaign of liquidation, a campaign of violence,” said Chaldean Archbishop Louis Sako, reported Agence France-Presse on Friday. “The objective is political.”

Sako’s comment comes after police reported earlier this week that seven Christians have been killed in separate attacks this month. Police found bullet-riddled bodies of seven Christians in October, with the latest body of a Christian day laborer found on Wednesday.

Since the U.S.-led Iraq war in 2003, more than 200 Christians have been killed, dozens of churches bombed, and more than half the Iraqi Christian population have left the country, according to the archbishop.

Iraq is a perfect example of the Butterfly Effect (the law of unintended consequences). Some of the people we had intended to aid through our overthrow of Saddam Hussein are the very people we have most disturbed,

“We believe it is the responsibility of Americans who occupy our country to protect Iraqis,” Sako said.

One can not dogmatically insist cristophobia is at work here, but the Muslims certainly do fear and hate Christians, and teach others to fear them and hate them as well.

PERSECUTION: Muslims continue taking what is not theirs!

Muslims Continue Pushing Christians Out of Bethlehem | Arutz Sheva
HT: Muslims Continue Pushing Christians Out of Bethlehem | Iconoclast/NER

You think they won't be in your grandchild's backyard some day ... perhaps sooner? Fool! Their asymmetrical form of warfare doesn't need tanks or aircraft!

Just as they've done to Israel for centuries, they've done and will continue to do to Christians today and tomorrow!

The Muslim Fatah-controlled authority in Judea and Samaria is encouraging a "sharp demographic shift" in Bethlehem, where the Christian population went from a 60 percent majority in 1990 to a 40 percent minority in 2000, to about 15 percent of the city's total population today.

It is estimated that, for the past seven years, more than one thousand Christians have been emigrating from the Bethlehem area annually and that only 10,000 to 13,000 Christians remain in the city. International human rights lawyer Justus Reid Weiner, who teaches at Hebrew University, told the Jerusalem Institute for Global Jewish Affairs that, under the PA-Fatah regime, Christian Arabs have been victims of frequent human rights abuses by Muslims.

The report goes on ...

"There are many examples of intimidation, beatings, land theft, firebombing of churches and other Christian institutions, denial of employment, economic boycotts, torture, kidnapping, forced marriage, sexual harassment, and extortion," he said. PA officials are directly responsible for many of the attacks, and some Muslims who have converted to Christianity have been murdered.

As people with "dhimmi" status, Christians living in Palestinian-controlled territories are not treated as the equals of Muslims. He says: "They are subjected to debilitating legal, political, cultural, and religious restrictions. This has become a critical problem for the Palestinian Christians in the West Bank and Gaza.

Of course nothing is done! The world is preoccupied with the mythical mistreatment of Muslims.

Christians have pondered for centuries who (demographically) will overrun Israel and commit the abomination of desolation, flipping the switch which brings about the prophetic fulfillment of the Lord's vengeful return (also)!

I am now convinced we needn't look to Rome or to some ten nation European confederacy to find those responsible! Fortunately, they lose ... badly! Maranatha!

BILL MAHER: Comic's neurological dysfunction cured by filthy lucre!

Bill Maher hates your (fill in the blank) religion | The Big Picture | LAT

Bill Maher, ex-Catholic, ex-Jew, now religion-mocker, says if ...

“... you believe this stuff [then] you are crazy, at least in one area of your life.”

"... you’re religious, [then] it means you believe in some crazy stuff. And at that point you don’t look reasonable."

Maher has produced a movie called, "Religulous"; a mocking, taunting, condemnation of anything religious. Maher, a mediocre comedian and shallow, liberal, social commentarian, is of the opinion that "[all] religion is a big crock of spit."

The comedian is a gold medalist in the hate category of life ... yet he, like all Americans, is protected by our national doctrine concerning free speech ... and thank God he is.

Indeed, Maher is a pristine example of why "hate crime" laws are useless; they don't work against those among the rich and powerful.

It isn't that he directly encourages others to hate of Christians or Christianity (he is careful to say that he is not telling people how to think, just that they should think); no, he's content to stir the hatefilled cauldrons of his audience's hearts.

However, by doing this without restraint or wisdom, Maher proffers de facto encouragement to those who already hate Christians and Christianity, or have religiophobic tendencies, to proactively respond to their deleterious emotions ... like a gun dealer who feeds guns to White Supremacists, then proclaiming innocence when the weapons used in a real hate crime.

You are challenged, if you have the stomach for it, to go to the LAT article and scan the comments at the end. There are some commenters who make the brain damaged religionists Maher hates so much sound like Einsteins.
