You won’t hear much about this, because the Catholic Church has committed itself to Islamopandering, such that it is largely silent about the Muslim persecution of Christians that has taken place in Africa as well as in the Middle East.
Jean-Clément Jeanbart, the Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo, gave an interview to a French reporter in which he was highly critical of the mainstream media and even of his fellow bishops for ignoring the Muslim persecution of Middle Eastern Christians. “The European media,” he charged, “have not ceased to suppress the daily news of those who are suffering in Syria and they have even justified what is happening in our country by using information without taking the trouble to verify it.” And as for his brother bishops in France, “the conference of French bishops should have trusted us, it would have been better informed. Why are your bishops silent on a threat that is yours today as well? Because the bishops are like you, raised in political correctness. But Jesus was never politically correct, he was politically just!”
Archbishop Jeanbart was not the first to say this. “Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one’s voice over so much ferocity and injustice?” asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI). Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignatius Ephrem Joseph III Younan himself has in the past appealed to the West “not to forget the Christians in the Middle East.” The former Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III has also said: “I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of brutality.”
But Gregory III should have understood, since he was a major part of the problem. After all, he himself said: “No one defends Islam like Arab Christians.” It is to defend Islam that Western clerics do not raise their voice against such acts of brutality. It is to pursue a fruitless and chimerical “dialogue” that bishops in the U.S. and Europe keep silent about Muslim persecution of Christians, and enforce that silence upon others. Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, said it on February 8, 2013 as he was suppressing a planned talk at a Catholic conference on that persecution: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.”
Remember that Mohamed Atta, about the plane he had hijacked on September 11, 2001, told passengers over the intercom: “Stay quiet and you’ll be OK.” The Catholic Church appears to have adopted that statement as its policy regarding Muslim persecution of Christians.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Another Catholic priest killed in Central African Republic,” by Fredrick Nzwili, RNS, May 5, 2018:
Militants killed a Roman Catholic priest this week in Bangui, the violence-wracked capital of the Central African Republic where Catholic and other faith leaders had made headway recently mediating between factions.
Former members of the mainly Muslim militant group Seleka are accused of killing Father Albert Toungoumale-Baba on Tuesday (May 1) at the Notre Dame of Fatima Church. Of the hundreds of worshippers gathered at the church, at least 24 were killed and 170 injured by militants who sprayed bullets into the crowd and detonated grenades.
Toungoumale-Baba is the second Catholic priest to be killed in about a month in the CAR….

Blangwort says
They bomb each other’s mosques, why wouldn’t they bomb a church? They are equal opportunity haters.
Malcolm (SouthAfria) says
Just sent a letter to the Catholic Newspaper regarding the lack of solidarity with our bishops,brothers and sisters North of us and rejection, that the culprits belong to a religion of peace.
I urge all Catholics to do the same or on mass, write to your Bishop.
This needs to be a sustained effort.
Martha says
Malcolm, This is an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know I will do the same from my end – I will send a letter and get others around our parish to do the same.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
It is not true. mithraist christian barbarians killed almost all muslims in central African Republic and eatened the dead bodies, the fled. The satan cannot appear as holy ghost in muslim form to burn the churches.Jw carries false stories against muslims as it did when Budhi barbarians were slaughtering muslims in myammar saying It was Muslims carryingout terrorist acts against Budhists, which never happened.

Yo Muhammad
Your deceit is tiresome.
elee says
Tiresome but educational…….continuing reminders of how Islam deals with inconvenient objective realities……and the self-evident lameness of their fantasies is also instructional. They are brainwashed to believe drivel that would embarrass a Stalinist propagandist.

What a liar! Just like your filthy “prophet.”

salah mithraist christian liar, Azhar university only issued a fatwa that It is haram to slaughter human beings, what more of eating dead bodies in reference to what Zionist Isis did to syrian soldiers . mithraist christians in central African Republic and wild Birom mithraist christians did it in Nigeria and mithraist bible condones It.

ITM:
Look, you must think you are dealing with people with no brain at all.
We see through your obvious lies.
We know the deceit within islam.
We know how you twist the Biblical faith.
There is no cannibalism in the Bible.
The mithraist islam and mithraist koran do condone such evil sins as this.
Only good is found in the Bible and Christianity.
We see the truth every day and we know what is true.
We know you deny the truth.
When one yields to islam he turns himself over to demons and all evil looks good and all truth is perverted and you become blinded by the devil.
Whatever you think you are doing here, you are not fooling anyone.
You are only showing what a fool you are and confirming all that we already know is true about islam and these stupid, blood thirsty jihadists.
You are digging your own grave when it comes to making points and providing proof in this debate, every time you utter more nonsense it piles up more evidence against islam and for those who know islam is evil.
And, another thing, there are many pagan religions in the world, mithraism is but one more of them. But Christians don’t go around telling these pagans what religion to belong to, or to atheists, or to anyone else, and that we will cut off their heads if they don’t leave them, and that we are justified in doing so because these are pagan religions. We recognize that humans have the God given right to choose, even if it is the wrong choice. It does not make them right, but we have no right to tell them what to believe or what religion to practice, and neither does anyone else. One day we will all pay the consequences; good or bad, for the choices we made about God. Yet Christians do not go around butchering anyone just because they are ‘mithraists’ or other pagans or atheists or muslims even, and then condoning the murders as okay because their religion was wrong. We respect the human right to believe what you wish and freedom of religious choice. So even if there were a ‘mithraist’ pagan running loose somewhere in kabul, it would not justify cutting off his head, okay?!
But that shows where the clear line is drawn between which religion is tolerant and unbigoted, and which one is intolerant and persecuting others. We all know the answer to that! So the point is not what one considers true religion, but the fact that people have the right to be wrong without being massacred for it. The true God of the Bible wins over hearts to Himself by His LOVE, something of which islam knows obviously nothing.
And I imagine that trying to reason with you again some more is just another mistake of mine and a clear waste of time.

……………….
I can find no such Fatwa.
Given that Muslims only consider Muslims of their own sect to be “human beings”, and all others to be fair game for murder, this would be pretty meaningless, in any case.
Ray Jarman says
+1 I would add that any muslim not of their tribe is also fair game for slaughter.

This is ridiculous–Ibrahim itace muhammed has himself said that Muslims have the right to slaughter Christians and other Infidels for not submitting to Islam.

Matthieu Baudin says
The church hierarchy may consider ordinary worshippers expendable – one wonders if they could keep up this distance from events if instead it was 24 Bishops killed at a church conference.
Ray Jarman says
This war has been on going for years now and just like Burma, the international press has sided with the purveyors evil in both nations. The most pernicious cult has been attacking Christians in CAR and when they have retaliated, they are the ones being called the violators of peace just like the Buddhist in their own country of Burma. Bangui is one of the worst places in the world to live and I can testify since I spent a month working at the U.S. Embassy there. And one more thing that should make every American’s blood boil is that most of the money provided for alleged projects of good will by the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, goes to the very same murderous cult that just committed this very horrible crime of killing Christians in their house of worship; very little is provided to Christian communities in CAR (as is the case in Nigeria, Ethiopia and other similar nations in Africa).
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Ray Jarman, you must have been receiving inspirations from your mithraist satan god (holy spirit) to lie against muslims. wherever Muslims are killed you turn It upside down that It is muslims who kill. you are just wicked mithraist christian evangelist liar. you and holy spirit will be casted into hottest lake of hellfire burning forever.
Ray Jarman says
Ibrahim Itace Muhammed, You seem to have a tendency to view everything from the rabbit hole. I defy you to name and prove where any Christian community has started a war with its pernicious cult members. In not one case has the cult been attacked without justification whether in CAR, Nigeria, Ethiopia and now in Kenya where the cult is unleashing havoc upon the peaceful villagers for simply existing. A friend of mine was accosted in rural Uganda by members of the cult but fortunately, the Ugandan military took care of the thugs. Sooner or later (I PRAY that it is sooner) the good people on the African continent will rise up and eradicate the plight of the cult of the pernicious pedophilic mass murdering thug. Killing people for simply wishing to be left alone to worship or not worship as they see fit must come to a halt.

More projection from Ibrahim itace muhammed. Will he condemn Muslims attacking this Church and murdering the Christians there? Of course not.

*Horrifying*–these poor people. But this is mainstream Islam.
And attacks on Churches have started in the West–more are going to turn murderous.
Cicero says
Yes attacks on st John’s Church Hackney A heritage listed but still very active church, have already started ever since the adjacent building ( Clapton Police Station) has been acquired by the Tawheedul Trust for the building of an Islamic primary. School.
A banner advertising theAlpha Course which has hung on the Church railing so for decades was pulled down and recent replacement banners continue to be torn down.
I have advised the adjacent household to continue to be vigilant since this is just th beginning of the harassment.
Angela Iroh says
I hope the whole world has seen how peaceful they are? Is it God that commanded this killings of fellow human being or another human being ?

This violent Islamic Muslim filth is spreading all across Africa, exactly like they claimed they would.
