Christians persecuted in Islamic nations
- Abuse, forced conversion, torture – even
in 'moderate' Muslim countries.
The Islamic march to global conquest
is far from over. In fact, the migration and multiplication of
Islamic communities in Western nations as well as in the Middle
East and Asia suggests a new strategy for expansion:
infiltration. Taking advantage of multicultural tolerance,
democratic governments, and human rights, many are building a
power base while waiting to realize their ultimate goal: Global
Islamic rule under Sharia law. These two links below illustrate
the driving ideology that few Muslim will expose to their
Western neighbors.
Muslims shout at Jesus'
home: 'Islam will dominate the world':
"The Islamic Movement, the main Muslim political party in Nazareth,
said it organized yesterday's march to celebrate Eid ul-Adha, or
the Feast of the Sacrifice, which commemorates the Muslim belief
Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Ishmael for Allah. Christian
and Jewish faith dictates it was Isaac, not Ishmael, whom Abraham
almost sacrificed....
"Young
Muslim men in battle gear marched and beat drums as a man on loudspeaker
repeatedly exclaimed in Arabic, 'Allah is great.' Hundreds of activists
strutted screaming Islamist epithets, including 'Islam is the
only truth' and 'Islam shall rule all.'...
"'The march is meant to intimidate Christians,' said Saleem, a Nazareth
Christian resident who asked that his last name be withheld for
fear of what he said was 'Muslim retaliation' for speaking out.
'It's part of the methods used by the Muslims in very obvious ways
to create an atmosphere where the Christians should know the
Muslims are the main power and we are not welcome anymore."
...the majority of anti-Christian violence in Nazareth goes unreported
because local Christians are too afraid to report crimes."
The Islamic Tide:
"[Muslims have] a saying. 'First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday.'
According to Brigitte Gabriel, a survivor of the Muslim terror in
Lebanon, this saying means, 'first we fight the Jews, then we come
for the Christians.' It must be admitted, of course, that Muslims
haven’t waited for Israel’s defeat to begin attacking Christians.'
"Once
upon a time the peaceful Christians of Lebanon built a democracy
with open borders in the Middle East, and the Muslims destroyed
it.... One day they began murdering Christians until the country
was no longer recognizable. Christians fled the rubble of their
homes.....
"In Iraq, under
a Muslim majority, democracy signifies nothing more than the unleashing
of Islamic gangs that authorities either cannot or will not control.
While the neo-communists and their useful idiots around the world
decry U.S. war crimes against Muslims, the Muslims have been perpetrating
crimes against Christians.... And don’t imagine the U.S. military
has intervened to save the Christians. The American military is
weak because it is governed by political correctness. The commander-in-chief
has already declared that Islam is 'a religion of peace.'...
“Whether motivated by
naďve wishful thinking or rigid political correctness,' wrote Brigitte
Gabriel, 'they assert that Islam is a ‘moderate,’ ‘tolerant,’ ‘peaceful’
religion that has been hijacked by ‘extremists.’
"
'Their
grievance is our freedom of religion.... 'We must not forget that
Allah’s rules have to be established in all lands, and all
our efforts should lead to that direction,' [says the "moderate"
Muzammil H. Siddiqi, leader of the Islamic Society of North America]."
