The following are among the abuses inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of August, 2021:
The Sexual Abuse of Christian Women and Girls
Pakistan: Three Muslim gunmen forcibly abducted Muqadas, a 16-year-old Christian girl, from her family home; they seriously injured her grandmother, for trying to prevent them, in the process. According to the Aug. 28 report, “The whole incident was seen by a village of witnesses who ran out of their homes to see what was causing loud shrill screaming by the younger sister of Muqadas.” Despite this, and as usual, police initially refused to register a crime until three days later and after much pressure, including from a foreign human rights association. “Even then,” continues the report, “police visited the family home of the abductor Mohammed Azim Malik and failed to locate him or the missing child and instead of placing Mr. Malik on a wanted list, [they] allowed time for Mr. Malik to beat Muqadas into submission [and escape].” Instead of offering to help locate the abductor and his victim, when approached by some local Christian women, the Muslim wife of Mohammed the rapist proceeded to mock them by saying her husband had “done a good deed.” According to one of these Christian women,
I have heard from women in the village that [Muhammad’s] wife is not ashamed of her husband’s cruel act. She has turned our Christian women away abruptly and has said she is proud of Mr. Malik as he has converted a ‘dirty Christian girl.’ She has told women of our community that his actions have ensured ‘the whole [Muslim] family a place in heaven.’ It breaks my heart to hear how little the Muslim community think of us Christians, [when] we have done them no harm.
Discussing this latest abduction, Juliet Chowdhry, of the British Pakistani Christian Association, said:
The nature of this attack—which involved a daylight raid on a Christian home before witnesses, by men equipped with guns—is simply horrific. It not only illustrates new levels of impunity that have increased boldness for such crimes, but I also fear the inculcation of hardliner ideologies in Pakistani mosques is creating a disheartening acceptance of such crime by the country's majority…. This child's dilemma is faced by hundreds of Christian girls every year. It is heart-breaking that police have been investigating for more than two weeks and do not yet have an inkling of where Muqadas and Mr. Malik are…. Every day she is not found is a chance for her to be lost forever to her abductor.
In a separate incident in Pakistan, Chashman, a 14-year-old Christian girl, disappeared after school. Her family frantically searched for her in the streets and made repeated visits to local police who initially refused to file a missing person case. “After much pleading, our application was converted into an FIR [First Information Report, No. 622/21], but the police remained indifferent to the issue,” the girl’s father, Gulzar Masih, explained. On the following day, images of an Islamic conversion letter and affidavit supposedly signed by the underage girl and witnessed by a sheikh known for his “radical” tendencies were anonymously texted to the family. The documents indicated that she had willingly converted to Islam and married a Muslim named Muhammad Usman. “We requested the police to at least recover Chashman and ask her under what circumstances she had left her home, but they are not listening to us,” Masih continued: “They say she has changed her faith and married of her own will, so there’s nothing they can do. But my daughter is only 14—she’s just a child…” According to the report, “Chashman’s abduction adds to the growing list of underage Christian girls who have been forcibly converted and married to their Muslim abductors, particularly in Punjab and Sindh provinces.”
In a final incident, after sexually harassing her, a Muslim supervisor threatened to file blasphemy charges—which carry a maximum death penalty—against a Christian sanitation worker unless she withdraws her complaints against him. According to the Aug. 31 report,
Salima Rani Bibi, a 50-year-old Catholic sweeper … was allegedly groped and had clothes torn off by supervisor Ajmal Khan Dukki in front of other employees on July 22 after she repeatedly refused his demands for sex… Dukki routinely sexually harassed Rani Bibi, a mother of six girls, and made lewd remarks to her in front of other Christian workers.
After she filed her complaint,
Dukki and other senior officials started intimidating her by stopping her salary and going as far as threatening her with abduction of her daughters, four of whom are minors…. This incident happened in front of a large number of employees, but even though all of Rani Bibi’s Christian colleagues are willing to testify in her favor, the court has been adjourning the hearing on one pretext or the other.
The report goes on to suggest that such treatment is standard:
Most sanitation workers in Pakistan are Christian…. Christian sanitation workers are routinely called derogatory terms such as Choora … and face sexual harassment, discrimination, nonpayment of salaries, irregular work contracts and extortion by senior officers…. Muslim sweepers use their influence in registering daily attendance but hardly show up, whereas the salaries of Christian sanitation workers are usually delayed…. Social security law guarantees compensation for those who die on duty, but the families of Christian sanitation workers are not paid the full amount. Christian workers, particularly women, also have to face harassment by Muslim supervisors… They know that these poor workers cannot do anything against them, hence the harassment is continuing unabated in almost all cities of Punjab and Sindh provinces…. The manner in which Rani Bibi has been denied justice shows how the majority population treats the most vulnerable segment of society.
Last reported, “Rani Bibi has been forced to go into hiding along with her children due to mounting pressure on her to withdraw the harassment case.”
Egypt: On Aug. 9, a 15-year-old Christian girl disappeared off the streets of Cairo; her mobile phone was turned off at the same time. Randa Fathallah Faleh was returning home alone, after helping another female member of her family move. Her family instantly reported her disappearance to police and urged the Minister of the Interior to investigate. A few days later, online Arabic websites reported that the underage girl had been happily returned to her family—which turned out to be false. In fact, Randa’s father and uncle were at and pestering the police station the same day this false rumor began. A family friend responded by posting on social media: “People, Randa has not been returned. Please stop promoting false rumors. Randa must be returned! Please copy and paste.” According to a 2020 report, this is just one of at least 500 abductions and “disappearances” of Christian girls over the last decade:
The rampant trafficking of Coptic [Christian] women and girls is a direct violation of their most basic rights to safety, freedom of movement, and freedom of conscience and belief. The crimes committed against these women must be urgently addressed by the Egyptian government, ending impunity for kidnappers, their accomplices, and police who refuse to perform their duties. Women who disappear and are never recovered must live an unimaginable nightmare. The large majority of these women are never reunited with their families or friends because police response in Egypt is dismissive and corrupt. There are countless families who report that police have either been complicit in the kidnapping or at the very least bribed into silence. If there is any hope for Coptic women in Egypt to have a merely ‘primitive’ level of equality, these incidents of trafficking must cease, and the perpetrators must be held accountable by the judiciary.
Death to Muslim Converts to Christianity in Uganda
A number of murders and violent outbursts against Muslim converts to Christianity occurred in Uganda throughout August:
Muslims murdered a man for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity by burying him alive. Saban Sajabi, 32, was an itinerant mosque preacher until 2015, when he converted to Christianity. Family threats prompted him to leave his wife and child and flee the village. He established a new life over the following year, including by marrying a Christian woman and having children. Threats continued, however, including via text messaging. According to one from 2016, “If anything happens to you, be informed that we shall not help you, especially at this time of COVID-19. Our advice is for you to return to Islam, the religion of the family.” Then, in mid-July, he received a call from a relative saying his beloved uncle who had led him to Christ was sick and dying. “Without wasting time, we left Jinja immediately, leaving behind our children,” his wife explained. It all turned out to be a ruse, however; hired men ambushed the couple in a deserted place: “They started beating my husband and then dragged him to a nearby anthill, dug into it and pushed his head inside, and he breathed his last.” During the assault, one of the assailants covered her mouth and said he would slaughter her if she continued crying for help, adding: “What you have witnessed happening to your husband today is for the disobedience of your husband not heeding the advice given by the family that he should return to Islam, since Islam cannot tolerate infidels.” According to report, “Police have taken no action regarding the killing.” The widow, moreover, was “hospitalized for depression and trauma for 18 days”:
Since the time I was discharged from the hospital, I have been having sleepless nights. Doctors have recommended trauma counseling for me. My two children always ask the whereabouts of their dad. Please pray for me and my two kids.
Separately, on Sunday, August 15, a Muslim father slaughtered his own son for converting to and then refusing to recant Christianity. Earlier, in 2019, Tabiruka Tefiiro put his faith in Christ, which prompted his father to kick him out of the family home. Tabiruka went to another city and found a job and new residence. All through 2020, however, Tabiruka’s mother pled with her son to return and reconcile with his father. He finally agreed and returned; when he met his father on Aug. 14, the latter called for a family meeting to question Tabiruka on whether he will return to Islam. “I am mature enough to join any religion that I feel like because I am above 18 years old,” Tabiruka told his father during the meeting, according to the slain’s sister, who was present: “I want to confirm that I am saved by the grace of God. I can’t renounce my Christian faith now or in the future.” On the following day, his father attacked him with a knife and hoe; when Tabiruka fled to a neighboring home, the father “forcefully entered the house and removed him back to the homestead, where he tied him up and started beating him with the hoe,” confirmed another relative, on condition of anonymity: “He fell down unconscious. He then hanged him up.” The wailing of Tabiruka’s mother eventually drew neighbors out. “When I arrived at Kawona’s house with other neighbors, we found the father outside the house,” a local leader said. “He told us that he had killed his son who had disgraced the Islamic religion by becoming a Christian.”
In another incident, a Muslim father beat and forced his daughter to ingest poison because she left Islam. Earlier, Hajira Namusobya, 34, was being routinely beat and tortured by her Muslim husband: “I tried to commit suicide by hanging myself with a rope,” she recalled, “but I failed because my furious husband was following and monitoring my actions.” During this time, she secretly began to attend a church, converted to Christianity, and eventually managed to get a divorce, which required that she relinquish her four children, which, per Muslim law, remained with the father. Getting on with her new life, she met and married a Christian man. Sometime later, she went back to her village to visit her parents: “When I reached Pallisa, I was welcomed by my parents, not knowing that my parents were angry about me for leaving a Muslim man and getting married to a Christian man,” she said. Her father, an observant Muslim who had performed the Hajj and traveled to Mecca, eventually began to inquire about her new faith and husband:
I told him everything, how I left the furious husband who almost took away my life and got married to a Christian man who is friendly and treats me as a wife. My dad in a loud voice replied that that is impossible and it’s blasphemous to leave a Muslim for a Christian man, saying, ‘More so, you are a daughter of a Haji.’
He proceeded to command her to renounce Christianity and her Christian husband and return to Islam and her Muslim husband. When she refused to agree, “He slapped me and brought out his secret stick and Doom mosquito repellant and beat me badly, then forced me to take mosquito Doom. It was too terrible.” Due to the loud cries and ruckus, a neighbor came to her rescue and took her to a nearby hospital, where she remained unconscious for three days.
Finally, while shouting jihadist slogans, a Muslim man tried to slaughter his sister after he learned that she had converted to Christianity. Harriet Nanzala had managed to keep her faith secret for two decades, when her brother became suspicious on Aug. 6: “My brother found me reading the Bible and began questioning me, whether I had converted to Christianity,” she said. “I kept quiet, and he left, shaking his head in disbelief.” Over the next day he continued pressuring her for an answer, but she remained silent. Suddenly, in the morning of Aug. 8, he appeared at Harriet’s home, where she lived with her two daughters and cared for her elderly mother. While brandishing a knife and long spear, her brother began crying “Allahu Akbar [Allah is Greater].” “He began destroying part of the door,” Harriet continues: “I started running away to save my life. My brother followed me as I continued shouting for help, but unfortunately he hit me with the sharp knife on my leg.” A photo indicates that he made a deep gash in her ankle. The ruckus prompted neighbors and later police to appear at the scene. As her brother was hauled away, he continued making threats and shouting: “After my release, I will kill Harriet for renouncing Islam, the religion of Allah.” Last reported, the convert and her household “are now living in great fear of attack if my brother is released on bail.”
The General Slaughter of Christians
South Sudan: On Aug. 16, a jihadist group ambushed nine Christian nuns traveling by minibus. They murdered two of them—Sister Mary Daniel Abut and Sister Regina Roba—in “cold blood,” says the report. Discussing this incident, a local Christian said,
Islam is now invading South Sudan. They’re saying South Sudan is a strategic place and that [it] will be the gate to Africa [so that] Islam can go to all of Africa. [Islamic leaders] are mobilizing money from different Islamic countries and they’re sending them to South Sudan.
Afghanistan: According to an Aug. 17 report, since the U.S. military withdrew,
[T]he Taliban are going door-to-door in Afghanistan, executing Christians on the spot…. Taliban militants are even pulling people off public transport and killing them on the spot if they’re Christians… [They are even] demand[ing] people’s phones, and if they find a downloaded Bible on your device, they will kill you immediately. It’s incredibly dangerous right now for Afghans to have anything Christian on their phones. The Taliban have spies and informants everywhere.
Democratic Republic of Congo: The Allied Democratic Forces, an Islamic terror organization with ties to ISIS, launched several devastating raids throughout the month of August in the Christian-majority (94%) nation. On Aug. 3, the jihadists abducted and later “knifed to death” 16 people; around Aug. 20, they butchered another 18 civilians; and on Aug. 28, 19 Christians were “burned and hacked to death” by the jihadist rebels.
General Abuse of Christians
Syria: The nation’s ancient Christian community has been reduced by approximately 66% since the rise and subsequent persecution at the hands of the Islamic State in that nation. According to an Aug. 9 report, “About two-thirds of Syria’s Christians have fled the country in the past decade… Christians made up eight to ten percent of Syria’s population before the start of the civil war in 2011. Today that number has decreased to three percent.”
Lebanon: Muslim supporters of Hezbollah threatened the nation’s Christian leader with death after he criticized the terrorist organization. On Aug. 8, two days after Hezbollah launched 19 rockets into Israel, the Maronite patriarch, Cardinal Rai, said it was unacceptable for “a party [Hezbollah] to make decisions on war” without the two-thirds quorum required by Lebanon’s constitution. Immediately, according to an Aug. 13 report, “Supporters of Hezbollah responded by threatening the cardinal’s life with social media posts that pictured Cardinal Rai with a noose around his neck.” In one post, someone from southern Beirut wrote in Arabic: “You don’t think we know how to hang?” In response, Defence of Christians, a Lebanese human rights group, said,
The patriarch of the Maronite Catholic Church, Patriarch Rai, is just calling for peace. He is not making a political statement. If Hezbollah and Israel go to war, Lebanese civilians will suffer. Hezbollah should not be firing rockets from civilian population centers in Lebanon. The Lebanese people are not human shields.
Egypt: The discrimination Christians regularly face in their country was even apparent during the recent Olympics. Egypt’s delegation to the 2020 Olympics included only one Christian out of 141 athletes, all Muslim. According to the report,
[T]he point is crystal clear: Copts, the indigenous Christians who comprise 10-15% of Egypt’s population, are represented by less than ONE PERCENT of the country’s delegation to the 2020 Olympics. Worse still is that this is not new: Hardly any Copts took part in Egypt’s delegations to the 2016 (Rio) or 2012 (London) Olympics…. [T]he exclusion of Coptic athletes actually reflects the reality of entrenched, deep rooted, systematic and systemic discrimination practiced against the Copts in Egypt.
Although the international human rights organization, Coptic Solidarity (CS), has raised this issue several times with the International Olympic Committee, according to CS, they “have yet to demonstrate a clear willingness to speak out and implement consequences which could help end this discrimination.” This, CS notes, is ironic, considering that the International Olympic Committee’s motto is “to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.”
Australia: During the court hearing of Isaac El Matari, a 22-year-old Muslim man who was earlier arrested for terroristic activities and ISIS connections, he confessed, according to an Aug. 31 report, that he “had plans to target Sydney’s St Mary’s Cathedral and the American embassy for terror attacks.”
Indonesia: On Aug. 6, a two-month-old Christian baby died, in part because hospitals were not as attentive as they could have been. Afterwards, authorities banned the parents from burying their child in a nearby cemetery, on the argument that the graveyard was reserved for Muslims only. The parents had to bury their dead baby far away, in a cemetery open to Christians.
Yep. Anyone who is not a Sunni Muslim - but especially Ahmadiyya and Christian - is the target of persecution in Pakistan.
If you want to save Christians you could take in more Christian refugees from Pakistan.
Anyone up for that?
Democrats will not allow Christians to seek asylum in the US.
But if they did. If they proposed allowing say 20,000 Pakistani Christians a year to seek asylum in the US would you be in favour?
This is one of those "ain't it awful" hand wringing pieces. But no one is proposing any concrete action. What do you suggest should be done?

Christians have been persecuted since Christ arose.
Christians have been really good at persecuting Jews for most of that time period.
If it was a comment following an article dealing with any other subject, I could perhaps disagree with its categorical tone. Not more than that. But the fact that it is a response to a report of unimaginably horrific suffering of innocent people - men women and children - makes it disgusting, callous, and ugly to the point of obscenity. It is a testimony not only of your hate, but deep stupidity as you can't even mask your glee. I wish I could see you now, so I could spit you in the face. What a piece of schiit you are.
Not that historically the different sects of Jews ever persecuted each other too and demanded the heretic, blasphemous, meshugane Jesus be put to death. Oh no, Jewish Heaven forbid!
That is a condemnation against the idiosyncrasy of man, not Hebrew nation. No wonder you are so easily fooled by the likes of Ayn Rand. You have the reasoning ability of a Third Grader.
So tough guy, when do you pick up your gun? You are as guilty of the Objectivist “It’s so, because I say so,” as anyone else. Your rhetoric has been getting more strident of late.
what a silly comment. You could say as well that Jews were persecuting Christians then too especially when they allied with Moslems as in Spain. Chief Mac, I am calling you out as a hater of western civilization, and therefore one who is afflicted with self-loathing. It is about time that traditional Westerners no longer accept mindless attacks on our civilization.
Yes, and they've been quite fond of persecuting and killing each other during centuries of bloody wars between different sects and branches too. The Puritans fled the persecution of the Church of England and no sooner did they land on the shores of Massachusetts when they immediately set up shop to persecute each other. But Christianity is really a religion of peace, I kid you not, nope I'm kidding.
"I have said that faith and force are corollaries, and that mysticism will always lead to the rule of brutality. The cause of it is contained in the very nature of mysticism. Reason is the only objective means of communication and of understanding among men; when men deal with one another by means of reason, reality is their objective standard and frame of reference. But when men claim to possess supernatural means of knowledge, no persuasion, communication or understanding are possible. Why do we kill wild animals in the jungle? Because no other way of dealing with them is open to us. And that is the state to which mysticism reduces mankind—a state where, in case of disagreement, men have no recourse except to physical violence. And more: no man or mystical elite can hold a whole society subjugated to their arbitrary assertions, edicts and whims, without the use of force. Anyone who resorts to the formula: “It’s so, because I say so,” will have to reach for a gun, sooner or later." - Ayn Rand
So tough guy, when do you pick up your gun? You are as guilty of the Objectivist “It’s so, because I say so,” as anyone else. Your rhetoric has been getting more strident of late.
Jesus did not start any religion. All religions are man-made. Religious wars are between religions. You again show how ignorant you are. No wonder you are so easily taken in by Ayn Rand slop. You make a perfect cult member.
Have you apologized to Linda for your deplorable obscenity?
Would your Savior Jesus have talked to the Virgin Mary that way? Would your Savior Jesus have talked to Mary Magdalene that way?
Go wash your mouth out with soap and pray for forgiveness.
Have you kissed Ayn Rand's idol-ed ass today?
Idiot, Linda whoever, is not my mother. What an ignorant comparison.
Go wash your own mouth out, penis breath.
Bring ALL the Christians that live in bat shit crazy islamic Nations and allow them into the Western World and deport ALL the muslims who have invaded the Western World.. Strange how such common sense just aint too common anymore... isnt it?.
The violent and vicious Muslims who parents as well other vicious Muslims who murder Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.
I have been a Christian since May 1, 1977. I have been a Baptist pastor for about 35 years. My wife and I were blessed by God with five children. The oldest is 33 the youngest is 16. Several have grown up and have their own homes now. We have room in our house. I would seriously consider taking in some of these people to live with us.
What else would anyone expect from a follower of Islam. Muslims have been doing this crap for 1400 years.
If you bring a rattlesnake into your home you are going to get bit. Don't act surprised. That is what rattlesnakes do.
According to the World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted for their faith, Afghanistan is the worst Muslim nation in the world in which to be Christian. This is saying much, considering that nearly 80 percent of all persecution Christians experience around the globe is committed by Muslims and/or in the Islamic world.
Christian evangelism is stifled almost entirely by the intolerant teachings of Islam. The Christian minorities are not adequately represented in these oppressive countries. Muslim majorities are taught not to be tolerant of other religions, not even to other branches of Islam. They fight each other, but Christians face the harshest treatment.
To spread the good news about Christ is like exposing oneself to the threat of slaughter each and every day. I’ve heard testimonies of former Muslims, and they told of quite harrowing experiences. God helped them to escape!
Islamic violence against Christians has intensified in Sudan. Persecution, abductions, slavery, and Islamic barbarism are common. Knowing about the extreme hardships that many believers in Christ face in Islamic countries, leads me to pause and pray for them.
It is a shame that those in our state department have repeatedly turned their backs on abused Christians seeking refuge here.
Too many of my fellow citizens voted for the scoundrels that are now running our country into the dirt. The hoards of unvetted immigrants pose a significant danger to us.
And yet, NOTHING is done by American administrations--democrat and republican. Even trumpo, a supposed Christian, did NOTHING. He's a fake.
You assume he did nothing.
I assume you are an idiot. See how that works? (I, however, have a strong case.)
So what would you like the US to do?
How about offering asylum to persecuted Christians from Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, South Sudan, etc?
And if not asylum, what?
The only legitimate and moral purpose of the American government is to defend and protect Americans and America for Americans.
Not to save the world with altruistic self-sacrifice.
If you personally want to sacrifice your life, property, and savings to save the world, you're free to do so, knock yourself out. Leave other Americans and their lives, property, savings, and incomes alone.
"America’s founding ideal was the principle of individual rights. Nothing more—and nothing less. The rest—everything that America achieved, everything she became, everything “noble and just,” and heroic, and great, and unprecedented in human history—was the logical consequence of fidelity to that one principle. The first consequence was the principle of political freedom, i.e., an individual’s freedom from physical compulsion, coercion or interference by the government. The next was the economic implementation of political freedom: the system of capitalism....
It took centuries of intellectual, philosophical development to achieve political freedom. It was a long struggle, stretching from Aristotle to John Locke to the Founding Fathers. The system they established was not based on unlimited majority rule, but on its opposite: on individual rights, which were not to be alienated by majority vote or minority plotting. The individual was not left at the mercy of his neighbors or his leaders: the Constitutional system of checks and balances was scientifically devised to protect him from both. This was the great American achievement—and if concern for the actual welfare of other nations were our present leaders’ motive, this is what we should have been teaching the world." - Ayn Rand
Idiot. Everything doesn't have to have altruism or objectivity in it. Ayn Rand is out-dated. Even Ms Rand abandoned most of her "philosophical views later in life.
How many times a day do you get on your prayer rug and bow to Ayn Rand, you Cultist.
Reality and reason are never outdated.
Name one of her philosophical ideas Ayn Rand abandoned in her later years, I'm waiting, but I won't hold my breath.
Rand rejected altruism as the standard for moral behavior, calling it “incompatible with freedom, with capitalism, and with individual rights.”
and
Ayn Rand is the persona of limited government libertarian. Her philosophy was maximum personal freedom. The Ayn Rand Institute is her legacy.
Robert Conquest formulated the rule that “any organization that is not explicitly right wing will inevitably be controlled by the left”.
Conquest underestimated the Left. The Ayn Rand Institute now endorses government controlled health care and it supports the vaxx mandate as government policy. Naturally, it imposes the vaxx mandate upon its own employees and anyone who attends its conferences.

Like all such institutions, ARI exists to advance the interests of its donors. Its so-called "scholars" are simply spin doctors operating in stealth mode. They're hired guns.
The donors in this case are the CEOs of large corporations - using corporate money of course. It seems that corporate CEOs want a vaccine mandate. Many, such as Tyson and United Airlines have already imposed one but other CEOs would prefer the Biden Administration to take the heat.
What Rand got wrong is this. In the corporate world the James Taggarts outnumber the Hank Reardons and the James Taggarts are smart. Very smart. The CEOs of all the major Wall Street Banks are James Taggarts / Orren Boyles who like to project the image of being Midas Mulligans.
One thing they all are is adherents of the Friedman Doctrine. Make money at all costs even if it wrecks the planet and kills people.
You are just too low in intelligence. No more, from now on I'll just ignore you.
It's not me who wrote:
"And yet, NOTHING is done by American administrations--democrat and republican. Even trumpo, a supposed Christian, did NOTHING. He's a fake"
It's not me who wrote this article.
So, I repeat, what is it you would like Biden to do to protect Christians? Or Trump for that matter?
I'm not the one calling for action. What do you have in mind?
No, it was not me. If you look carefully you'll see it was "Say No To Sharia" who wrote that.
I was responding to what "Say No To Sharia" posted.
So, "Say No To Sharia", what do you have in mind? What should the US do about the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries?
I’ve read a little of Ayn Rand, and her ideas do have merit. Yes, she was an atheist, but the way her prose and imagination flowed made reading her novel quite enjoyable.
Where does one’s “individual rights” come from? Did our rights come from our founders, government, or any scientist?
Our founding fathers nailed it when they used our Declaration of Independence and acknowledgement of the God of the Universe, or Nature’s God, as the basis of our freedoms and constitutional order.
If rights come from God they can be taken away by God and his representatives on earth, the priesthood, the Almighty Church, the theocracy. And that is exactly what happens when faith in the other-worldly, mystical, supernatural is taken seriously. A priesthood emerges who are held to have access to knowledge of the supernatural that the ordinary flock of sheep do not have.
"Mysticism requires the notion of the unknowable, which is revealed to some and withheld from others; this divides men into those who feel guilt and those who cash in on it. The two groups are interchangeable, according to circumstances. When being judged, a mystic cries: “I couldn’t help it!” When judging others, he declares: “You can’t know, but I can.”...
The source of man’s rights is not divine law or congressional law, but the law of identity. A is A—and Man is Man. Rights are conditions of existence required by man’s nature for his proper survival. If man is to live on earth, it is right for him to use his mind, it is right to act on his own free judgment, it is right to work for his values and to keep the product of his work. If life on earth is his purpose, he has a right to live as a rational being: nature forbids him the irrational. Any group, any gang, any nation that attempts to negate man’s rights, is wrong, which means: is evil, which means: is anti-life." - Ayn Rand
A Fairy Tale After 9-11 we decided that limiting Muslim immigration, as we had done the first 200 years, when we were still a sanity driven country, was the wisest policy. Islam ceased to enjoy the privileges of religious freedom protections and was determined to be an enemy of freedom. Their fourteen century history of slaughter and enslavement and forced conversion were acknowledged. All mosques were closed. All possible jihadists were expelled. No new ones were allowed in.
Our citizens were not forced to endure subjection to draconian measures supposed to protect us from the threats of "terrorism", since the source of terrorism was eliminated. We didn't have to spend American lives and wealth, fighting terror over there to stop it from coming here. We would have just stopped it from coming here or remaining here. Our Neo-Cons would have had no excuse for endless war and our nascent totalitarians would have lacked their greatest rationale for the new and ever increasing tyrannies now being brought to bear on the American people. And they lived happily ever after.
This will never be presented by the Lame Stream media because there is no way to blame Jews for it
You mean the lame street media which is overwhelmingly Jewish?
You must be new to politics. There are at least two strains of Jews, just like there are at least two strains of Republicans.
Stevie, is that you? You must be blind.
IS Allah Just Another Name For God?
allah is a fake sun/moon god... once known as Baal, Baalim & Hubal...
mushammad (Dog Piss Be Upon His Face) chose the fake god allah from over 360 idols housed in the satanic Kaaba, in Harlot Babylonian Mecca... <<< The One True Living God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob... the Father of our Lord & Savior Christ Jesus... never has been an idol. Thus mushammad couldn't have chosen the One True Living God...
And...
If allah was really such a perfect god... then how come it needs to Abrogate the words written in the satanic quran? Did allah make a mistake the first time?
And...
The fake god allah/Baal is considered by the satanic quran as the best schemer...
"But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers (Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena)! Surah 3:54; cf. 8:30"
Thus... Who can trust a scheming god? <<< Think on that
...
The Berean Call Reports: "Isn't Allah Just Another Name For God?"
It says... "Allah was the name of the chief God of the Ka’aba—in fact, “Allah” is a contraction of “Al-Ilah,” meaning “the chief God.” “Ilah” is the word for “God” in Arabic.
For example, Surah 4:171: “Allah is one god .” “Ilah,” okay? The very confession that they make you pronounce at the point of a sword or they take your head off, is “There is no ilah but Allah , and Muhammad is his messenger.” So to say that it’s the only word for God in Arabic simply isn’t true. It’s the name of a god, and they insist on Allah in every religion.
You can’t say “G-O-D” in English, you can’t say “Dieu” in French, “Bog” in Russian, “Dios” in Spanish, or whatever. No, you must always say “Allah.” Well, that’s not a generic term for “God.” That is the name of a specific god, and that god was the Moon God in the Ka’aba. “Al-ilah,” the chief God"
The facts stands... the fake god allah is NOT the same One True Living God!
Wow! Someone call 911. sumsrent just blew a blood vessel in his head.
That is everything I never wanted to know about Islam. Everything I need to know about Islam can be put in three words - Islam is wrong.
