Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Tripoli: Islamic salafis ban Christian crosses and icons

Aug 19, 2014 12:58 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

crosspendantIn Tripoli, roaming bands of armed Salafis—Muslims who seek to follow the example of Islam’s prophet as literally as possible—went door to door of the city’s jewelry stores, ordering the owners to stop selling any crosses or Christian icons.

“Immediately thereafter,” report Arabic media, “the store owners collected all the crosses and Christian icons and delivered them to their Christian villages outside of Tripoli.  Other store owners hid the Christian crosses and icons deeply, in the hopes of transferring them somewhere later, because they live in Tripoli and have no outside Christian villages to deliver the banned Christian items to.”

Islamic enmity for Christians has been expressing itself regularly in Libya after the U.S. supported “Arab Spring” came there: Christians—including Americans—have been tortured and killed (including for refusing to convert) and churches bombed. It’s “open season” on Copts, as jihadis issue a reward to Muslims who find and kill Christians. This was not the case under Gaddafi.

    The face of Islamic fundamentalism and the west criticizes Israel for defending itself against a similar ideology to destroy all Jews! Hope we can all wake up in time to meet the challenge. Islamism is ugly and sick!

    Yet more fruits from Cameron’s cluelessness and wasting billions to put these monsters in power in Libya. That doofuss wanted to help ISIS in Syria. He shouldn’t be in charge of a whelk stall never mind a country. If he was put in charge of a horse and cart, he wouldn’t know which end of the cart should be attached to the horse.

    ✞ Lyrics to Beauty Of The Cross ✞

    At the cross I find the beauty of Your matchless grace
    At the cross I see a King who died to take my place
    It’s the moment that You made me clean and pardoned my soul
    Amazing grace that I would be allowed unto Your throne
    Not by my own will but solely by Your will alone
    I’m unworthy of this love you have shown to me
    I see my desperate need

    The beauty of the cross is that there’s One who has redeemed my soul
    Beauty of the cross is that I’m finally free and letting go
    Beauty of the cross is that Your grace has found me just as I am

    Not by my own works that I may boast or I may come
    But simply through your Son the sinless and Exalted One
    Only through the cross that I’m made clean to draw near to you
    Saved so that you would receive all glory due Your name
    Everlasting God from age to age you never change
    A true love story remains for all eternity
    That all the world would see

    My sinful soul could only be
    Redeemed by the blood of a sinless King
    So you came to the world that You had made
    Conquered sin on the cross and You rose from the grave

    That’s the beauty of the cross

      “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 1:18

    more evidence that the Muslim (enslaved by SHARIA) is dedicated to be against the church and faith in the myriad blessings of God bestowed for the sake of the Christ of God.

    of course, well known is the enmity against the descendants of Abraham who are Chosen and to whom the Promise and Covenants of God with man have been revealed.

    How this could be reported without attention or criticism from the “popular media” the U.S. Government or the White House is a monumental expression of how the Qatar/Obama administration decides on what is right or not; While the constant narrative is one of Islamophobia, homophobia and any other phobia available to sell the Salafi Obama view on Judeo Christianity it is incredibly horrifying to realize how the world has receded to a state of Medieval Persecution and Modern Genocide, yet perfectly normal to this Administration’s Ascending Sharia Fatwas, the Arab/Spring began the modern day Crusade to “Deport, Relocate and Exterminate” all but the Salafi Mohammedans from the Middle East and Maghreb; something not restricted to these Geographic Regions, eventually it will become an American Policy, as if the Islamification of the U.S. Armed Forces was based on religious freedom, it has passed regulations that censor the Chaplain Corps, the open showing of religious Icons, Judeo Christian items are the focus of a legislated state of religious persecution, sold as the “secularity” for Moslen Sensitivities irrespective of any other Religion or belief. What happens in Tripoli is happening here; what used to the United States now a stateless state, within the Moslem State that eventually will be a Genocidal one here as well as in the Arab Regions that were destroyed by the Arab/Springthe return to 630 A.D.
