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

Austria recognizes Islamic State genocide against Christians

Jun 23, 2017 11:47 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

It is comforting to finally hear the truth being recognized by Austria, along with a determination to assist the victims.

According to the American Center for Law and Justice:

In Syria, the Islamic State has beheaded and stoned men, women, and children for blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy. One Christian Syrian woman described ‘Christians being killed and tortured, and … children being beheaded in front of their parents…

The Center continued:

Assyrian Christians have faced mass kidnappings; children and adults have been tortured for refusing to deny their faith in Christ; and other Christian children have been raped and burned to death by the radicals.

Anglican Reverend Andrew White, aka the “Vicar of Baghdad,” recounted the story of Iraqi Christian before they were slaughtered by Islamic State militants:

Children…were told by ISIS militants to convert to Islam or be killed. Their response? “No, We Love Yeshua (Jesus).”

It is atrocious that peaceful Christians have not been long prioritized by Western nations as refugees; they are not only victims of war but targets of murder and violence by jihadists for their faith. One could not begin to imagine the global reaction and outcry if Christians or Jews were murdering innocent Muslims in the name of their religion, and such an outcry would be warranted. Meanwhile, the word “Islamophobia” keeps getting rammed down the throats of Western infidels in the face of such atrocities committed against Christians and other human beings in the name of Islam. Such lack of sensitivity and remorse is telling.

“Austria Among First Nations to Recognize ISIS’ Genocide Against Christians”, by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, June 21, 2017:

Austria has become one of the first countries in the world to not only formally recognize the genocide being committed against Christians in Iraq and Syria, but also to advance a seven-point plan aimed at helping victims.

The American Center for Law and Justice reported on Tuesday that the Austrian National Council formally recognized earlier in June the “heinous atrocities” being committed by the Islamic State terror group against Christians and other religious minorities, and committed itself to carrying out at least three steps of a seven-point plan to help those who are displaced.

“Austria has become one of the first countries to take a decisive stand,” the ACLJ wrote, calling it a “major step forward” in the conservative group’s campaign to rescue followers of Christ.

The legal group launched its seven-point plan last year, the details of which are available on the ACLJ website, and has urged U.N. member states to join the fight against genocide.

The plan in question calls for the establishment of in-region “safe zones” for genocide victims fleeing radical terror, along with expanding military efforts as part of the international coalition to defeat IS.

“It is imperative that we continue to pressure the U.N. and the international community in order to provide the relief these victims so desperately need,” the ACLJ urged, calling on people to join the cause as the legal group expands its “largest global legal advocacy campaign in defense of Christians facing jihadist genocide.”

In its letters to the U.N., the group has highlighted the urgency of cooperation when it comes to fighting IS.

“In Syria, the Islamic State has beheaded and stoned men, women, and children for blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy. One Christian Syrian woman described ‘Christians being killed and tortured, and … children being beheaded in front of their parents,'” the law group has said.

It added that Assyrian Christians have faced mass kidnappings; children and adults have been tortured for refusing to deny their faith in Christ; and other Christian children have been raped and burned to death by the radicals……

    In a modern world of almost instant communication how did this genocide and others continues with such silence and continue their support of the no peace religion.

      The tainted and compromised media have refrained from covering this persecution.

    Heartbreaking photo.
    At first if you don’t read the headline, they look like they are sleeping.
    So very sad.

    But the Pope says it is a religion of peace, so do most christian leaders !!! How could they have it so wrong ??? Because they are part of the appeasement regime and will get their just rewards wherever they end up, it sure won’t be in heaven, given their abandonment of their fellow christians.

      The Pope is the biggest liar that lives. He is a disgrace to Christians and those that follow him, I have nothing but contempt for him. How he got to be a Pope in the first place beats me. Satan got to him

      The churches are too busy both Catholic and Protestant taking money from Islamic organizations to settle Moslem “refugees’ in Midwestern American rust belt states . I am Catholic and appalled by the Pope for not speaking the truth about what is happening to the remaining Christians in the Middle East. The Lutherans in the America Middle west have settle a lot of Africa Moslem “refugees ” with Islamic organization money. I do not think any of these large Christian churches hands are totally clean from this blood money.

    You know – if Islam were a religion of peace as they like to say, the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) would make a cause to save those Christians. These same are their neighbours and friends, and the OIC states are in the best position to both identify the problem and come to their aid. If Muslims were anything like Christians, they would take up a collection in their mosques and even dedicate a part of their zakat to helping their brethren. What better way would there be to show their solidarity with their neighbours as they face a common foe.

    …but this will never happen, demonstrating once again what Islam is in the real world. Instead, many of those in the OIC are among those persecuting Christians.

      Zakat is required by Islamic law to go to muslims only.
      A portion is mandated to go towards jihad.

    I hope anyone who wants to is able to do all they can but I would not invest any hope in the U.N. That is one of the biggest legs of the octopus I mentioned earlier. They are very anti-Christian. They have not turned a blind eye for no reason to all of this atrocity.

    Look for the article titled “Australia’s Immoral Preference for Christian Refugees” – its “immoral” to help victims of genocide if they are Christian. Clearly the New York Times bows at the same alter as Sally Yates.

    I think the picture can be misleading. It is a picture of Christian children from Irak sleeping in a Camp. They are not dead.

    Racially and religiously motivated hatred of Yezidi will never be forgotten nor forgiven – arab atrocities against non-arabs point out obvious sub-human nature of arab.

    The early 20th Century Turkish Genocide against Christian Armenians and Greeks should also be dovetailed in these pronouncements from the Austrian State to clear the air and provide a warning to the new Despot of Ankara.
