In this new video, I explain why Christian communities that have existed in the Middle East since the time of Christ have in recent years been attacked, and in many cases obliterated, by Islamic jihadis. Why are the jihadis attacking the Christians now? I reveal here the shocking reason.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Well, let’s see: then Prez Barack Hussein responded to the Syria crisis — which involved the murder of Christian and Yazidi men and the turning of Christian and Yazidi women into slaves and sex slaves — by importing hundreds of thousands of Moslems from Syria to escape the murder and sex slavery being suffered by Christians and Moslems, almost none of whom were let in as refugees.
Then there’s the part where Pope Frank has made it clear that he regards the murder and enslaving of Christians in the Middle East as a matter of a big misunderstanding, poor communications, with the Moslems there.
This one-two punch is the reason that murdering Christians, mainly Coptics, is a boom industry. It’s easy to do and there are no consequences. Plus it helps clean up the neighborhood and it’s fun to do.
Kim Bruce says
Well said, Pig Farmer. I agree. We are doomed unless we find leaders like Donald J. Trump and other Right wing leaders who will put a stop to this invasion before it is too late, as it is in the UK, Sweden, Denmark and the EU in general.
KJW says
Trump has done nothing about i, and I doubt he will. Refugees are still coming in. I don’t know why people thought Trump would have much control about this, but it hasn’t happened. I’m seeing more and more Muslims in my state which was given $90 million under Obama’s Loretta Lynch DOJ soon before Obama’s departure, and it was more than any other state. Our feckless low-rated governor will take a buck from anyone even while my state is expensive and finding good employment is difficult.
The UN pressures countries, Christian organizations take them in, Muslim attorneys rush citizenship for Muslims (so they can vote), and Middle Eastern governments such as Saudis. Saudi Arabia won’t even let non-Muslims become citizens. Then if people say we need to help the Christians in Egypt, Nigeria, all over North Africa besides Syria and Iraq, they’re accused of being racist and discriminating against a religion. These Christians are not white people! They are black African Christians who being killed every day and mass massacres. Nigeria is split by the Christian south and Muslim north and the north wants Nigeria to be all Islamic and sharia law. Their government does little about this.
To Hillary Clinton’s credit, I did hear her once say that Christians were being genocided. But how much did she keep stressing that? She didn’t. Because Saudi Arabia is in her pocket, she holds back as well as John Kerry and his feckless State Dept. Some Iraqi Christians out west in the US were all upset that a mosque was being built, they said funded by Iran, because they had family members killed in Iraq and a mosque was the last thing they wanted t see. The mayor was useless about this. There seems to be little compassion for non-Muslims and ex-Muslims who have suffered in Islamic countries.
Guy Forester says
The persecution of Christians in any country persists because the western countries with financial, political, and military clout allow it. Even the most elementary act of stopping all foreign aid to any country that allows the persecution of Christians or any other vulnerable minority would be an important and easy first step.
Oops! Sorry about that. OPEC oil money would stop flowing to any politician foolish enough to endorse such a policy.
PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
This is so true. All Islamic migration to Western nations should be stopped. But the Globalists and Leftists in governments are pushing for Muslim migration.

mortimer says
HUMILIATION of religious minorities is NORMATIVE Islam, rather than an aberration.
-from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
-from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER SUPPORT THEM.”
-from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
-from “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: …“[iv] to show ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger” (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)
Japetto Danatelli says
Spencer is one of the few intellectuals defending Christians in today’s world. The political elite don’t give a damn about the mass persecution of Christ’s people. And this is the real heart and soul of islam, the subjugation of all other religions for muhammad and allah, it’s 14 centuries old. This is not hard to figure out even for an average intellect like myself. Islam is a monolith of hate and bigotry for religion that threatens peace and freedom for everyone. I’m grateful Spencer is working so hard to shed light on these atrocities, it restores my faith in humanity knowing there’s at least one gifted soul working in defense of Christianity’s maligned and persecuted people. What we need is a president with the brains of a Spencer and the brash courage of a Trump. Trump knows how to bang the drum, it’s just that he doesn’t seem to know any good music.
Pieter says
Japetto@; To the point.!
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Islam is a corrective belief system, a life belief system of which religion is only a part. Fight until there is no God but Allah, jihad until all the world lives under Sharia, even Communist China. Correction of religious mistakes is particularly painful, but give them credit for fair naming: Islam translates as Submit!, as in *you* submit, to us, us Moslems. It’s an active voice verb. Activist Moslems are dedicated to the act of murder, murdering Infidels, which in turn has the desired effect of instilling terror in the hearts of all Infidels, fearing their eventual murder.
To use an old hippie term, Islam is happening.
Timothy says
Where was the U.S. during this time ? Didn’t they fight in Iraq then withdraw? The withdraw created a vacuum where by ISIS became the power.

Remember911 says
Can’t view video right now, someone please give me the gist of the argument.
Sarah says
The gist of this was that the reason why Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslims are being persecuted by Muslims throughout the Islamic world – is because of Islam and the teachings within Islam that specifically authorize Muslims to mistreat, enslave and slaughter anyone who is not a Muslim and living within Muslim lands.
Remember911 says
Thanks . . . but that’s a timeless truth. I thought the video was supposed to explain why the mistreatment has escalated in recent times.
Mississippi Girl says
Under Western pressure the Ottoman Empire was forced to abolish dhimmitude and the jizya in the 1850s. Christians and Muslims lived in relative peace until the rise of, e.g., ISIS. Sharia was re-established and the ideas of dhimmitude and the jizya, both part of Sharia law, were reintroduced to some Islamic countries. What seems like new persecution of Christians is actually a revival of what had already existed for centuries. The current generation of Christians was not familiar with Sharia and refused to comply. Since disobedience by dhimma is forbidden, the killing began again.
MTMLA says
Did you have the opportunity to watch 60 minutes interviewing the new king of KSA, MBS yesterday 3/ 18/2018 and listen to his lies about women in SA: He said women have the same rights as men and that it’s the woman’s choice what to wear…women lived normal lives before 1979 and the oppression is due to the Iranian revolution (and not the islamic wahabist ideology.).Women were free during the prophets time and blah, blah, blah…a bunch of lies that were not contested by the female interviewer. I saw somewhere that on the street a western female reporter was told to cover up by the moral police. There are many more horrendous things going in the KSA that she didn’t bother to ask…And the people on the street she interviewed were afraid to talk…the women were all in black from head to toes, others only eyes showing…
The new king is travelling in the US from coast to coast as propaganda..to make people believe his lies. The leftists and universities and the feminists will applaud and embrace this liar. In my view it’s takyiia, he wants to get help and support from the US and the USEFUL IDIOTS!!!
MTMLA says
No talk about freedom of religion, while in the west they are building mosques by the thousands.. but there was no question about that.

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Mr Spencer, the myth of muslims persecuting christians is Yet to be a réality, what more of escalating ? on the contrary, it is mithraist christians and Idol worshipers persecuting muslim worldwide, but Mr Spencer does not want talk about It. mithraist christians persecuting muslims started from genocide killings of muslims during crusade wars, church decree to exterminate Muslims from spain, colonisation and deprivations of muslim nations,that genocidal killings of Hausa Muslims in jos and kaduna, that of central African Republic where pagan Christian was shown on screen proudly eating human flesh of dead bodies of muslims. Idol worshipers in India, myanmar and Thailand have been butchering muslims. All these could not feature in any of Mr Spencer’s reports. why ? Is he happy that his enemies muslims are being annihilated ? Thé worst persecutions of muslims are taking place in the aparheid evil united states and fascist evil zionist state of Israel,but Mr Spencer and CO are justifying It

Ibrahim itace muhammed The source texts of Islam describe Mohammed’s vile behaviour. Mohammed was a rapist, gangster, murderer, torturer, liar. The source texts of Islam describe him as such! You worship the very words that come from the mouth of a criminal gangster! That is the WORST idolatry of all.
Vlad the Impaler III says
WRONG Ibrahim…..
Spain was part of the Roman Empire which had been a Christian kingdom 400 years BEFORE BEING TAKEN OVER by the Moor islamists during 700 AD. Northern Africa was also once a majority Christian world as was Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Jordan. Iran and Iraq were mostly Zoroastrian before 700 AD. Afghanistan and South East Asia were mostly Buddhists and Hindu before 700 AD. And India was mostly Hindu before 700 AD. And because present day Israel (Jerusalem) was also a part of the Roman Empire, THEY, TOO, WERE A MAJORITY CHRISTIAN WORLD BEFORE 700 AD.
Why am I emphasizing this? Because islam started to spread about this time only 100 years after its founding TAKING OVER WITH FORCE and COERCION using SLAVERY or DEATH, or the use of PERSUASION (dhimmi) if non-muslims don’t fully convert.
early Christian people between 300 AD to about 1000 AD were made up of peasant farmers living in agricultural societies and not one seeking out to push violence or are made up of soldiers like that of the Ancient Greek Spartans. Early Christians traveled to the Holy Land before Jerusalem was plundered by islamists.
by 700 AD, the once Christian kingdoms in Northern Africa (Egypt) as well as Syria, Jordan, Yemen and Spain had fallen to islam and were threatening Europe and pushing into the Indian sub-continent and Afghanistan as well as South East Asia.
IT WAS islam THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE RELIGIOUS WAR B.S. BEFORE THE FIRST CRUSADES ever happened in 1095 AD when the Holy See felt it necessary TO DEFEND CHRISTIANS IN JERUSALEM who were also being threatened by islamic pagans who successfully took control of the city and erected the dome of the roq around 680-690 AD.

set foot into Europe. Then the false compassion, silly hashtags and
empty platitudes once the bloodbaths commenced here, which we
could all see a mile off.
I really don’t know which set of psychopaths are worse.
don vito says
So for three generations, the kufr lived in moslem dominated occupied kufr lands and the moslems were forced to not enforce sharia law. But when the opportunity came aggression against kufr, in murder, rape, robbery, sex slaves, non sexual slavery including slave markets, all happened. When moslems are allowd to be moslems, kufrs become slave, dead, or gone. Good to remember this lession, when friends, family, or strangers talk about the nice moslems next door. You know those neighbors, what will moslems do to us kufr, if the politicians and police and military don’t respond because of islamophillia? Courts, and academentia don’t enforce the law or lie about history? I know,I know, the future is now.
boakai ngombu says
“… the myth of muslims persecuting christians is Yet to be a réality…. ‘
itace, you have it in you only to look forward to that, otherwise you are hardly MUSLIM (slave). that holy book you adore (supposedly from the eternal mother book), gives erroneous information and that has been for your mind and black heart a steady diet. but it does encourage you to kill, avenge, ruin.
this video shows well TRUTH. you avoid TRUTH; Robert Spencer seeks to bring forth what your instructors failed to pass on to you – because they avoid TRUTH.
you remain a dead soul. may you continue to pass wind during your prayers and sneeze when you praise the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) which also avoids TRUTH made known to the world by the unique ONE (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) whom you blaspheme.
oh yes, i once saw a man beat a woman at the camel corral near the airport at Kano. he then went to the camel she’d ridden and gave it much love and attention. was that you, itace?
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
boakai, what encourages and motivates mithraist christians, evil Jews and Idol worshipers to kill muslims ? The Satan ? Mr Spencer and many at JW did stated that the brutal genocide killings of muslims during crusade wars were justified in response to séries of muslims killing christians for 450 years, was that not sanctioned by mithraist Bible ? if not, under which norm It was justified ?
gravenimage says
Ibrahim itace muhammed has said many times that Infidels have no right to defend against Jihad. Seems he is saying the same thing here.
Of course, there was no genocide of Muslims during the Crusades–but Muslims have wiped out most Infidels from lands they have invaded and conquered.
Lydia Church says
He knows the persecution is real, there is no denying it.
He is just grasping at straws because that is all he can do.
But there are no straws to grab, so he invents those too.
It is all such an obvious pile of lies, and we all see through it.
And his endless evil and vile rants the lies are embedded in…
And that stupid asinine ‘mithraist’ Christians coming up all the time,
no, Christians are not mithraist. Jesus just happens to be God the Son!
So deal with it ibrahim!
islam is inspired by satan.
I don’t even read his retarded comments anymore, each one is like the last
and it’s nothing but cover up, denial, and propaganda lies to keep the myth going.
boakai ngombu says
itace, that which encourages anyone to take the life of another (murder, kill, destroy), is the same throughout humanity, no matter race, ethnicity, creed. murder and killing for vengeance’ sake offends God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
you’ve said it: The Satan. the same that caused Adam (and Eve) to disobey the Lord; the same that brought about the loss of righteousness to all humanity. the result of Satan’s effort is first reported seen when Cain killed Abel. But then from Cain’s lineage there was Lamech (Gen 4: 23-24) who prided himself in taking revenge on another whom he had killed and claiming that his act was greater than Cain’s.
many – from all places, peoples, tribes, clans – have followed along. most killers and murderers are proud; many are not. perhaps you know a person who has killed and is proud for doing so.
God, will punish the murderers, but; God has also provided the guilty a way to be restored to righteousness. He has provided a way to be cleansed of the guilt for actions, like murder and killing.
recognition of that way is not taught in the mosque. as long as you agree to hate Christians and Jews and seek their demise, you will never be taught that way, especially since THE WAY to righteousness and acceptance by God is found in Jesus, whom you hate as well.
you could change. until then, i suppose you must believe: kill of be killed … law of jungle
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
No no, boakai, ï don’t hate prophet Isa you Call jesus,because when he lastly descends he Will defeat the Dujjal (the leader of world oppressors) and ends pagan christianity taking him as Godman, which he never claimed. The Satan inspiring you you Call holy spirit Will be arrested and confined.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Imagine poor Ibrahim’s terrible surprise when, at the end, and despite a lifetime of expecting ‘isa’ to come back with vengeance for non muslims everywhere, Jesus will say to him ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me you worker of iniquity.”
Flee from the judgment to come Ibrahim. Jesus, whom you insult many times a day, is your only hope.

Robert Spencer Video: Why Muslim Persecution of Christians Has Escalated
…………………
A fine and very important video, Mr. Spencer.
This is *exactly* what is happening now.
Also, a more minor point, but excellent production values on this video. Kudos to the team.
CT says
Yes, thank you for a good video. The uptick in violence against Copts has been obvious, but the reasons weren’t.
Do you think the internet-facilitated easy availability of the Quran and Hadith texts to worldwide audiences is partly behind the rise in jihad violence? That a lot of Muslims just didn’t know before what they said and so were content to be God-fearing in a peaceful way until someone showed them, at a mosque or on YouTube, the actual texts promoting violence? And too many of born Muslims just don’t know or have a way out of Islam? I guess if they have no tradition of freedom of religion, they are unaware that one can choose a different path to worship God, one that doesn’t rely on hearsay from 1400 years ago but rather lets them listen to God themselves and follow their own consciences.

@ Ibe itace Muhamed
Hi habibi! Time for your history lesson. Ready? You rambled on about Crusader wars massacring Muslims – a rehashed piece of Islamic propaganda that totally ignores historical facts.
Moslem armies swept across Africa and up into Europe for over 450 years, unopposed. By the time Jihadi killers were almost climbing in through the windows of the Vatican, the Pope finally said ‘enough is enough’. Then he called for the Crusades to reclaim what had been lost to Islam’s plundering, murdering armies.
So, once again, the Crusades were a reaction to Islam’s violence. Why? Your savage god commands Muslims to ‘… fight until all religion, all of it, is for Allah’. That was the reason for the Crusades then, and it is still the reason why we need a new Crusade today!
You’re an ignorant clown!
MTMLA says
Amen !!! The Crusades were a reaction to the muslim attacks in Constantinople..The pope of the east asked for help from the pope of the west due to muslim constant attacks to the city.
ronyvo says
I wish we stop using “jihadis” or “terrorists”, because Muslims love to be called that as the Satanic Mohammad told them to be. I call them “criminals” or “the Muslim criminals”, because that what they REALLY are. Islam is criminal.
We in the civilized West have our laws and values. Killing innocent people, raping girls, women and boys destroying property are severely punished.
The problem we have with Muslims here is not their filthy, diabolical Islam, it is WE THE PEOPLE. Amazingly, we are submitting to them and their unendless DEMANDS, which are helping them to INVADE us They are NOT refugees, they are Muslim INVADERS.
Terra Nova says
Ibrahim, in all religions there have been so called “Leaders” who “knew and know it all and proclaimed themselves prophets or God themselves. That is what they do, they manipulate and work on people,
dictators do it people do it, and that in fact is men’s downfall. You can not believe the books and what people want you to do or say, first check everything and see what you think than for YOURSELF, if it feels right, don’t go blindly and yell and scream.The way you write, you are so angry, it suffocates you, be calm and ask God to tell you everything you need to know and the God within you will answer you, not on your time (As there is no time there) but when He thinks it is the right time. Don’t humanise Him, he is not a human, He is the creator, learn for yourself. Good luck ! And I mean it and be aware of the beautiful oneliners people use to get you emotional worked up. Think for yourself.
FYI says
If you happen to be catholic you can forget about “pope” francis(the false shepherd)speaking out in defense of Christians.You can forget about many pastors and priests telling you the truth.
You are unlikely to be informed of the Prophetic explanations for all this:but you can read it for yourself.
Read you own NT Bible and you will see information on 1 how things will play out,2 what you should do
Let that be your priest or pastor because you can no longer rely on clergy to tell you the truth in these times.
If you are a Christian of any denomination,you really,really, need to understand the following..
You can see that the forces of anti-Christ{globalists,islamists and leftists,dhimmiwit judas “Christians”etc}are on a mission to destroy Christianity.
You may or may not know that the worldwide apostasy and attacks on Christianity were predicted by Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
You may or may not know that there is another aspect to all this islamization process and it has to do with the rise and (sudden)fall of the one referred to in 2 Thessalonians 2 v 3-4/Matthew 24 v 15(who will be coming to power with the help of the false shepherd).Ignore this if you wish but it WILL happen.
you may realize if you are a Christian that islam will not exist beyond this event in Matthew chpt 24 v 30
..nor will it survive the yet-to-happen Apocalypse:the outcome has already been pre-determined anyway.
There is no point explaining this to muslims:they and their god allah don’t understand this.
The good news for Christians is explained via the coming checkmate of 2 Thessalonians 1 v 5-10;you will see from this that islam is not on the winning side(even though they think they are.just as the Nazis believed they couldn’t lose!)
Unless you know and read carefully the prophetic teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostles in the NT
{see Matthew chapter 24 in full
Matthew chpt 13 v 47-50 the parable of the net etc}
..
you will NOT get what is happening in the world and you run the risk of suffering the consequences as explained in Matthew chapter 25
the wheat are being separated from the chaff and islam serves the useful purpose of absorbing the chaff which will be dealt with in the inevitable Apocalyptic Justice Of God(which muslims don’t get because their allah doesn’t understand Biblical prophecy since in the koran he clearly and ludicrously rejects that aspect of God through which such prophecy comes(see k5 v 72)
the Bible teaches God’s Moral laws and the future history of the world
the koran teaches allah’s immoral commandment-violating beliefs.
It is not difficult to choose between being the wheat or the chaff.
Biblical prophecy is given to us in our time-based reference to explain God’s plans for the future.
But,from the eternal perspective of God it is in the past tense as it has already happened.
Think about that with reference to the survival of Christianity;it is not Christianity that will lose!
Abbisid says
Please don’t put music on talking videos, it interferes with the topic. I gave up on this as I can hardly hear the text,over load music.
Janet Levy says
A key point that was omitted in the video is that the Muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa were first cleansed of Jews – from 1947 to the 1970s, even Jewish communities that had existed well before the birth of Christ.
We must ask the question, however difficult, if there were Christian protestations about the killing and forced exile of Jewish inhabitants during that period?
The Islamic phrase: “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people” is instructive here. The idea that first Muslims attack Jews and when the Jews are gone, they attack Christians is the operative explanation.
Slightly paraphrasing Martin Niemoller’s quote: ‘First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.’
This is a tragic series of events – first the purging of Jews followed by the genocide of Christians – that required a forceful response over 70 years ago. Sadly, “never again” has failed as a sincere avowal emanating from the horrors of the Holocaust.
John Novak says
Hillary klinton in one of her many ignorant rants, mentioned the word Islamophobia. Which usually brings an end to the conversation. I don’t know who said it, but I found it as a way to keep the conversation going, ‘Islamophobia, is a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.’
Let the conversation BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!
KJW says
It isn’t just terrorists. In Egypt it’s Muslim Brotherhood fanatics and regular Egyptians. I have watched videos of such people throwing rocks at Coptic Christians houses, their cemeteries are vandalized and trash thrown on them. President Sisi said the churches would be rebuilt, but that’s yet to happen. There’s still that Islamic rule going on that if Christians churches are destroyed they can’t rebuild them, so what’s standing is usually old. Saudi Arabia won’t even let any be built-Christians or other religions cannot display their religion and even arrested two Lebanese that came in with Bibles on them.
It’s important to stress that the issue is not just about terrorist groups! I watched the most disgusting video of when a Muslim woman, in a black abaya, no less, was killed by a mob of men in Kabul, Afghanistan and they were regular Muslims in collared shirts, and there was no proof that she blasphemized. In refugee centers in Europe, refugees are fighting with other sects of Islam (usually Sunni versus Shia) and Christians, and some atheists are scared. Iran goes back and forth with harassing Christians and the Bahai have few rights. These attitudes of goverments and also their blasphemy laws fuel vigilantes.
I think it’s important to not make it seem like just terrorists are doing these things-there are many gangs such as in India that have killed bloggers, even a music teacher, atheists, and secularists, and they are not designated terrorist groups. An Indian official said they are just like gangs who are against culture such as with the music teacher. Back in the 70s, Lebanese Muslims were killing Christians for no good reason other than their being Christians. It’s like these mob frenzies where they use the situation (civil wars or such) and become like sharks in a feeding frenzy. A country like Saudi Arabia who funds madrassas and Islamic schools where even in England undercover cameras have shown that they are teaching young boys to hate all non-Muslims, this is a huge problem. Then again, the Qur’an teaches to hate non-Muslims.
Also, I see videos by ordinary Muslims who appear focused on Islam increasing and Christianity decreasing. (Forgetting the ex-Muslims and that many Christians have just become disengaged with organized religions, have personal Gods or become atheist.) These 20-something year old Muslims are perpetuating this competition with Christianity. In Italy a church was vandalized and old relics ruined. Kosovo Muslims/Bosnians had destroyed about 20 churches. In Turkey, Orthodox churches have been vandalized and not by terrorists but the typical hot-headed Muslim Turks. In 2003 Erdogan had given a speech calling us infidels and saying how we make fun of Islam-that might still be on YT.
While ISIS may target Christians, it’s not just ISIS that does. If we just talk about terrorists then Muslims continue to say things like they don’t represent Islam. When you have students killing fellow students like last year in Pakistan or killing Christians or even Muslim neighbors for unproven blasphemy, the attitude is reinforced by Pakistani blasphemy laws. It’s gotten so bad there that Pakistan has considered charging those who accuse people of blasphemy that’s unproven in court. They won’t get rid of the blasphemy laws. Coptic Christians have face all sorts of problems and they aren’t just from terrorists. The Muslim Brotherhood basically has supporter militias and fanatics. Even Saudi Arabia designates the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists. Much needs to be said about the MB-they are the enemy within. They say they are about human rights and social justice which means people are deprived of sharia law, so, they want to oppress all citizens…the usual twisted justifications of Islam that you well know.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Buraq, it means there is religious war in mithraist christianity contrary to what you fools have been telling us that christianity is peaceful and that those biblical verses of genocide are mere description of what Israelites did.As such brutal crusade wars were valid mithraist Christian religious wars fought in the name of mithraist Christ and you are now calling for another round of brutal crusade wars to annihilate all muslims as the Satan (holy spirit) is inspiring you to do

just like the mass murdering paedophile Mohammed who you love
so much for those exact reasons.
Please play in the busy traffic.
Thanks 🙂

You arab people who spread and follow islam are being used by satan and their followers living on earth who call themselves zionists and freemasons.

this is for you and like minded who are still in bondage. Repent, brother. As a follower of the Savior, the One who freed ALL MANKIND from the bondage of death and sin on the Holy Cross, I pray the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, THE Son of THE Living TRUE Creator enters you and frees you from the lie that is islam. Peace be with you.

Christian persecution by Muslims never really stopped. Genocide of non-Muslims has always been the modus operandi of Islam. That’s why Christian countries became Islamic, ditto for Buddhist and Hindu countries. There may have been a resurgence of terrorism affecting the West w/ the ousting of various secular dictators in Muslim dominated countries since the 1979 Iranian revolution. But present day Christian persecution didn’t resurface just because of ISIS…it just expanded more to the West and now we’re more aware.
Leftists say “we create” terrorists by fighting wars in the Middle East (on behalf of other Muslims–what a dumb idea is that?), w/ our Abu Ghraib prison or due to Gitmo. Muslims would kill us anyhow if given half a chance…and they got it by mass migration of Muslims escaping their Islamic sectarian wars but also leaving Muslim countries not at war. They’re not escaping to other Muslim countries which would make sense…but instead they’re doing their hijrah duty and invading the West…as they are supposed to do to spread Islam worldwide…and thus comes the terror, rape, persecution, intimidation and domination of non-Muslims. Nothing new under the sun for Islam since it was invented by the warmongering rapist.

The Islamic ‘faith’ has been fighting continually since the early 600’s for their ‘one world government’, ruled by a Caliph, under Sharia Law. They have historically invaded country after country and converted by force to their way. They still are – but unfortunately governments of the ‘free’ countries continually appear to fail to acknowledge this aim.
The Islamic Jihad continues as they seek to achieve their goal of world domination. What governments are now also failing to acknowledge is the ‘invasion of the enemy from within’. Having opened the gates to almost uncontrolled immigration, it has to be borne in mind also that in the continuing rise of Islam around the world high birth rates account for some 96% of Islam’s growth: forced conversions account for around 3%. They are slowly winning because of the weakness and liberal tendencies of our governments (or we could, of course, call it the ‘tolerance’ of Christian faiths). It is going to be difficult to resist the tide now….

Mohammedans feel strong. That is why there are increases in persecution. Before, they felt weak and humiliated. They have some catching up to do. They tried to address their weakness by pairing Islam with that which they percieved made the West strong. Now they feel that ‘Islam Only’ makes them strong and they don’t need anything Western except our lands and our daughters.

I honestly wish Trump did ban Muslims from the United States. Muslims are a danger to everybody including fellow Muslims. If possible we should take in everybody except Muslims.
