Christians are Burned Alive, Beheaded, Crucified, Tortured To Death and Imprisoned in Metal Shipping Containers

The “coming persecution of Christians” has already begun.  It is already
here.  So why is the mainstream media in the United States almost totally
silent about this phenomenon?  When some politician somewhere around the
globe inadvertently offends homosexuals or Muslims, it instantly makes
headline news. 

But very few Americans are even aware that it has been
estimated that
100 million Christians are currently facing persecution and that
approximately 100,000 Christians die for their faith each year.  As you
are about to see, Christians all over the world are being burned alive,
beheaded, crucified, tortured to death and imprisoned in metal shipping
containers just because of what they believe.  This persecution goes on year
after year and it is steadily intensifying.  But the governments of the
western world and the mainstream media are almost entirely ignoring what is
happening.

The information shared below is extremely graphic.  Some of the
websites that normally run my articles may want to think twice before
posting this one.  The reason why I have included such graphic information
is because I believe that it is very important to accurately communicate
what is truly going on out there.  People need to know the reality of the
holocaust that is happening.  The following are short excerpts from news
stories about incidents of Christian persecution that took place in 12
different countries around the planet.  Sadly, the vast majority of
Americans have never even heard about any of these stories…

#1
Christian Taxi Driver Pulled Out Of His Cab And Beheaded In Egypt: One
attack involved taxi driver Rafaat Aziz Mina, who was slaughtered in an
Alexandria street just because he was Christian. In his early twenties, he
was killed on 16 August by a mob of Islamists who took to the streets after
news reached them about the military’s action against their camps in Cairo.

An
amateur video shot by a resident shows a mob blocking cars, checking the
passengers inside. When Aziz’s taxi was stopped, one of the protesters noted
a cross hanging from the rear view mirror. Quickly, the young man was
dragged out and kicked, punched and beaten to death. For several minutes,
the extremists defiled the lifeless body kicking and spitting on it,
concluding their performance by cutting off his head, which they left on the
sidewalk.

Tortured To Death By U.S.-Backed Al-Qaeda Rebels In Syria: In late
October, the U.S-supported “opposition” invaded and occupied Sadad for over
a week, till ousted by the nation’s military. Among other atrocities, 45
Christians—including women and children—were killed, several tortured to
death; Sadad’s 14 churches, some ancient, were ransacked and destroyed; the
bodies of six people from one family, ranging from ages 16 to 90, were found
at the bottom of a well (an increasingly common fate for “subhuman”
Christians).

#3
“Slaughtering Us Like Chickens” In The Central African Republic:
Thousands of Christian civilians sought refuge at an airport guarded by
French soldiers Friday, fleeing from the mostly Muslim ex-rebels with
machetes and guns who rule the country a day after the worst violence to hit
the chaotic capital in nine months.

When several French helicopters landed at the airport, people sang with
joy as they banged on plastic buckets and waved rags into the air in
celebration.

Outside the barbed wire fences of the airport, bodies lay decomposing
along the roads in a capital too dangerous for many to collect the corpses.
Thursday’s clashes left at least 280 dead, according to national radio, and
have raised fears that waves of retaliatory attacks could soon follow.

“They are slaughtering us like chickens,” said Appolinaire Donoboy, a
Christian whose family remained in hiding.

Shot For Refusing To Convert To Islam In Libya: A group of Muslims
robbed two Egyptian Christians living in Libya, then tied up and shot them
to death after the two Copts refused their demand to convert to Islam,
relatives said.

On a rural road in Derna District in northeastern Libya on Wednesday
(Sept. 25), a group of Muslims surrounded Waleed Saad Shaker, 25, and
Nash’at Shenouda Ishaq, 27, demanded their belongings and started beating
them. During the strong-arm robbery, the relatives said, the Muslims
demanded that Shaker and Ishaq recite the shahada, the declaration of
conversion to Islam. When the two Orthodox Coptic Christians refused, the
group of Muslims tied them up and shot them.

Head Cut Off In Front Of A Camera For Converting To Christianity In Tunisia:
A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a
knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate.
Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or “narrator,” chants a number
of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which,
because of the Trinity, is referred to as a polytheistic faith: “Let Allah
be avenged on the polytheist apostate”; “Allah empower your religion, make
it victorious against the polytheists”; “Allah, defeat the infidels at the
hands of the Muslims,” and “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his
messenger.”

Then, to cries of “Allahu Akbar!”— Allah is greater!”—the masked man
holding the knife to the apostate’s throat begins to slice away, severing
the head completely after approximately one minute of graphic knife-carving,
as the victim drowns in blood. Finally, the severed head is held aloft to
more Islamic slogans of victory.

50 Christians Burned To Death In Their Pastor’s Home In Nigeria: Fifty
members of a northern Nigerian church were burned to death in their pastor’s
house.

The attack by armed gunmen was only the first in a 12-village spree of
violence that left over 100 dead in northern Nigeria’s Plateau State, a
region that had previously been outside Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram’s
operational area and is the largely Muslim Fulani tribesmen’s homeland.

Yet Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attacks and threatened even
more violence.

#7
Two Brothers Crucified For Their Faith In Ivory Coast: Two peasant
brothers were brutally crucified on “the example of Christ” as forces loyal
to Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara continue to target perceived
supporters of his ousted Christian predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo.

Raphael Aka Kouame died of his injuries; incredibly his younger brother,
Kouassi Privat Kacou, survived the ordeal. The pair were badly beaten and
tortured before being crudely nailed to cross-shaped planks by their hands
and feet with steel spikes on 29 May.

#8
Angry Mob Of About 1,000 People Destroys A Church And Beats Christians In
India: Shouting religious slogans, a mob estimated at 1,000 people has
destroyed a Christian church under construction in northern India, according
to a report received from church leaders in the region. The attack occurred
Sunday.

With the building demolished, the mob began to beat the pastor, his
mother and church members, who were able to flee and went into hiding for
the night. The extent of their injuries is not known.

Suicide Bombers Kill 81 At A Church In Pakistan: A pair of suicide
bombers killed 81 people outside a church in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday
in the deadliest attack yet on the country’s Christian minority, reviving
fears that the newly installed government is powerless to stop the resurgent
Taliban’s reign of terror.

The attack on the 19th-century All Saints Church in Peshawar took place
as hundreds of worshippers were streaming out of the church, police chief
Mohammad Ali Babakhel told the newspaper Dawn.

“The suicide bomber tried to attack the people, but when he was stopped
by the police, he detonated the bomb,” he said. “The second blast was
carried out inside the church.”

80 Lashes For Drinking Communion Wine In Iran: An Iranian court
sentenced four Iranian men to 80 whiplashes for drinking wine during
communion and possession of a satellite antenna.

The court issued the sentence in the city of Rasht on October 6.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide, an advocacy organization for religious
freedom, reported on the punishment last week on its website.

#11
Imprisoned In Metal Shipping Containers In Eritrea: A representative of
Open Doors, a charity that works with Christians under pressure for their
faith, said that many Christian men and women are being held in underground
dungeons, metal shipping containers and military detention centers.

“They
face exposure, hard labor and insufficient food, water and hygiene. They are
regularly denied medical treatment for malaria and pneumonia contracted
while in prison or diseases like diabetes, hypertension or cancer that they
may have arrived with,” said the representative.

#12
Publicly Executed For Owning A Bible In North Korea: Eight people —
their heads covered with white bags — were tied to stakes at a local stadium
in the city of Wonsan, before authorities shot them with a machine gun,
according to the source.

Wonsan authorities gathered a crowd of 10,000 people, including children,
at Shinpoong Stadium and forced them to watch the killings.

For the moment, things like this are not happening in the United States.
But you would have to be extremely naive to think that it never could happen
here.

Animosity toward Christians is rapidly rising in this country.  Anyone
that spends much time cruising around the Internet can see that very
clearly.  In fact, some bloggers recently suggested

the
castration and murder of Christians here in the United States.

It might seem easy to dismiss those remarks as the ramblings of a few
deranged individuals, but the truth is that our own government is now
labeling Christians as “extremists”
and “potential
terrorists“.  For a large number of examples of this phenomenon, please
see my previous article entitled “72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered ‘Potential Terrorists’ In Official Government Documents“.

All over the planet, the persecution of Christians is growing.  And our
own government is now demonizing us and characterizing us as a “threat”.

The years ahead are going to be very challenging for those who choose to
be Christians.  If you are a Christian, I hope that you are getting
emotionally and spiritually prepared for that.
