Will the Islamophobia never end?
Imagine if Christians had murdered fifteen imams and torched ten mosques. The international outcry would be immediate and prolonged. But no one will take any particular note of this, except perhaps to cancel the credit cards of those who dare to report about it.
“Ethiopian PM sends condolences to Orthodox Church after 15 priests killed,” World Watch Monitor, August 14, 2018:
Ethiopia’s prime minister visited the leader of the country’s Orthodox Church on Saturday to express his condolences after 15 priests were killed and ten Orthodox churches damaged in the eastern Somali region last week.
Among the priests killed were Rev. Kidane Mariam Nibretu, Rev. Yared Hibu, Father Gebiremariam Asfaw, and Abreham Tigabu, a local source told World Watch Monitor, adding that four of the 15 priests were found burned together.
Nine evangelical churches were also vandalised or looted. Although state media reported the deaths of at least 30 people, according to local sources the number could be as high as 50.
Orthodox parishes in the regional capital, Jijiga, are supporting more than 20,000 displaced Ethiopians, sources close to the Tewahedo Orthodox Church told Catholic news agency Fides.
Voice of America reported that nearly one million people have been displaced since April as part of an ethnic conflict between Oromo and Somali people that has been going on for years.
Earlier today, 40 people were killed when armed men, allegedly members of the Somali region’s paramilitary Liyou forces, carried out cross border-attacks in Oromia’s East Hararghe district, according to Al-Jazeera….
In mid-June, 20 Christians were killed in the Bale Goba area of Oromia, west of the Somali region. Although some observers blamed TPLF sympathisers, a local source told World Watch Monitor that it took place after Christians opposed the installation of a monument for a prominent Muslim leader in the area.
Some locals pinned the blame on the government, saying they were warning Christians against opposing such moves in future.
“Similar tensions are bubbling under the surface in other parts of Oromia,” said World Watch Monitor’s source. “We have even heard of places where Muslims had asked Christians to vacate the area. And though this call is veiled as ethnic rivalry by some media and observers, it is at its very core a religious matter.”…
CogitoErgoSum says
Will any GoFundMe campaign for donations to repair and rebuild the churches be shut down by the credit card companies because it’s for a cause that Muslims consider “insulting” and “hateful?” Will they turn to the SPLC to tell them what to do? (SPLC should change its name to Socialist Peoples Libel Committee).

Rest In Piece!
The massacred Orthodox priests didn’t deserve this! In this day and age It is always very dangerous to set up churches in islamic regions even in countries where muslims are a minority! Uncolonized, in its long history, Ethiopia has always been staunchly Orthodox Christian since Biblical times and defeated many islamic armies and others who tried to conquer it! However, lately many Ethiopians are worried the direction their country is moving under their new, pro-Western and pro-Arab prime minister. Many Ethiopians think that Saudi Arabia and a US-backed coup has taken place in their country a few months ago! Please read more of their concerns on the link below and please pray for Ethiopia!

Coming soon….Headlines in New York Times…
TEN CHURCHES IN NEW YORK CITY BOMBED ON SUNDAY
THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS KILLED…..
Today we are watching what is happening to Christians in other countries and mostly the news just jus gives the answer “that’s happening OVER there in the mid east or even Europe”.
Are our so called leaders and many complacent people’s so dumb as to think that it won’t happen here? Will groups like the SPLC and so many more leftist, fascist groups ever wake up to what Islamic jihadist and those who are steeped in Islamic teachings are trying to do. To my way of thinking any group today that does anything to help Islam in its fight to take over the west, are traitors one and all.
and our government seems to have closed eyes and ears to what’s happening…I am thankful for the work of our law enforcement agencies and the Justice Department and any others for what they are ALLOWED to do but that’s not enough…Most times hands are tied…BUILD THE WALL!

It is already happening in the EU countries!
Hundreds murdered in France two years ago, including 86 killed in a truck attack on Bastille day! Heck, Three thousand killed in the US on a single day a decade and half ago by 19 Arab Wahhabi jihadists, 15 of them from Saudi Arabia and then America attacked, not Saudi Arabia but Iraq over a false and fabricated WMD myth! It is a crazy world!

I see the dishonest “christianblood” is now claiming that Muslims are murdering Christian priests and burning churches in Ethiopia because they have a “pro-Western” prime minister.
Pretending that Muslims have never targeted Christians in Ethiopia before April of this year when the new PM took office is absurd.
Here are just a couple of stories. This, from about a year ago:
“Ethiopia: Muslims attack Christian with machetes for proselytizing”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/08/ethiopia-muslims-attack-christian-with-machetes-for-proselytizing
Here’s one from a few years ago:
“Muslims forcing closure and demolition of churches all over Ethiopia”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/12/muslims-forcing-closure-and-demolition-of-churches-all-over-ethiopia
And the problem with Prime Minster Abiy Ahmed is not that he is “pro-Western”–questionable, in any case–but that he *is Muslim*–Ethiopia’s first Muslim PM.
In fact, he recently chided the head of the UAE for not being Islamic enough.

This was a large scale attack in which 15 priests were murdered and Ten churches burned down! This is another level of coordinated islamist attack on Ethiopian Christians and this kind of large scale attack has never happen in Ethiopia before, never!

About three quarters of 100 million people in Ethiopia are Christian, mostly Orthodox Christian and the rest is islamic and animistic! Ethiopia has the largest Orthodox Christian population outside of Russia which is about 60 million faithful. According to the “Orthodox Chronicle” a young non-Orthodox evangelical has become a prime minister of Ethiopia a few months ago and he immediately normalized relations with Arab countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE, freed jailed muslim brotherhood members and allowed Wahhabi indoctrination among Ethiopian muslims! Many Ethiopians are now worried the direction their ancient country is heading under the new pro-Western liberal prime minister. Please read more of this news on the link below:

Well, this is just ridiculous. Even the article you link to says that Abiy Ahmed has “Muslim heritage”. The claim that he is “a young non-Orthodox evangelical” is utterly false:

Aby Ahmed is not a muslim but an evangelical Christian. He had a muslim dad with multiple wives and a Christian mother and he chose Christianity when he grew up but he is naive and not mature politician!

So we’re supposed to take the word of some poster going by the name of “info” on a forum we’ve never heard of over major news outlets?
By the way, “info” seems to be yearning for a Muslim in power in Ethiopia, saying “We still looking for the first muslim PM and I am very sure it will not be long and that he will get the support of all Ethiopians as long as he has the right politics.”
It seems he just thinks that Abiy Ahmed is not Muslim enough.
Most notably, after being touted as Ethiopia’s first Muslim PM by numerous international news services including the BBC, Ahmed has never denied that he was Muslim that I have been able to find.
By the way, there is no English translation on that video link.

You are right, his actions does not make any different from a muslim but I am 100% sure he is an Evangelical Christian. Just go and ask any mature Ethiopian person in your area and they will tell you so!

Since we have the largest Ethiopian population in the country here in Oakland, I’ll do that.
Still odd that the PM would not deny being Muslim if he is not, though.

At one time they would send some SAS or equivalent to go to these places and sort the bad guys out, but now the government(s) are being ran by crypto-muslims nothing is done and the emboldened muslims think allah is with them. People don’t believe in Prayer but I am going to give it a shot and hope every one of the qvnts muslim involved in this comes to an excruciatingly painful end quick time. A video I saw regarding Birmingham UK last night showed what amounted to street signage with “no whites allowed” written big and bold. Now that is close to home and I can see no way people taking that attitude in England a) have a right to live in this country, and b) will be here much longer. We don’t want this shit and there are enough of us prepared to see the wood for the trees and not confuse the word moderate with radical.

Shocking. Once again the poison that is Somalia and it’s religion are spilling over into neighbouring predominantly Christian countries like Ethiopia and Kenya. Of course the international media don’t care as muslims are not the victims, or if they do report it they will frame it as an “ethnic dispute”.
Walter Sieruk says
The sad and tragic reality is that many vicious and intolerant Muslims has and have and will continue to engage in murderous persecution of those profess to be Christians. As in this recent example in Ethiopia
Furthermore, Those violent and vicious jihad –minded Muslims in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadist/ Muslims detest all who say that they are Christians. The jihadists who make up ISIS don’t care if that person who professes to be a Christian is a Catholic or Protestant. The jihadists of ISIS hate them all. One of the reasons why the Muslims who compose ISIS are so much against Christians is that some Christians teach the Bible with its many doctrines to others. The Bible that is so very damaging to Islamic doctrine that the Muslim clerics sand strongly against the people obtaining Bible’s. For example, Islamic [Koranic] doctrine denies the Jesus is God. In other words Islam denies the Deity of Christ. Nevertheless, the Bible teaches “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” Colossians 2:9. [N.I.V.]
Moreover, the Jesus is God may further be seen in the Bible. As in, for example, John 1:1-3. Colossians 1:15-17. Romans 9:5. Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20. In addition, for a person to further find out that Jesus is God all a she or he has to do in to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As by comparing Isaiah 45:22, 23 with Philippians 2:5-11. Likewise by comparing Psalm 89:8,9 with Matthew 8:23-27. Will also confirm that Jesus is God. Also by comparing Psalm 62. 5-7.with First Corinthians 10:4. Just by comparing the New Testament books together will like show that Jesus is God .For example, comparing John 5:22. with Romans 14:12 shows the Deity of Christ. The list can go on but this should be enough for anyone who is willing to see, and not as those who Bible calls those who are willingly ignorant, II Peter 3:5., that Jesus is God.
The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain “ all this away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians, through time, and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. This claim they make very much underestimate the Power of God to preserve His Word and keep it safe and intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, The Muslim clerics strongly dislike the Bile because the Bible greatly exposes the terrible doctrinal errors that Islam with the Koran as Islam’s foundation have concerning the nature of Jesus. Likewise the Bible exposes Islam as a false religion, Isaiah 8:20. Proverbs 14:12. All Muslims be they jihadist /ISIS Muslim or non-violent peaceful Muslims are invited to turn away for the false religion of Islam and come to and receive the real Jesus of the Bible. Who is the True Light to the world, John 8:12. and the only way to God the Father , John 14:6.
FYI says
I hope they didn’t burn any of those Bibles{..the “mithraist” ones that the islamic troll keeps constantly insulting and attacking..}because you see,according to the koran{k3:3}allah…….. is the author of both the Torah and the Gospel.
So allah claims to be the author of the Bible:that means that if any muslims were to desecrate a Bible{“the word of allah”},that would be the same thing as burning a koran{“the word of allah”}…..
allah would surely be enraged at any muslim desecrating a Bible{since after all, he claims to be the author of,not just the koran but..the Bible}
That’s why if muslims desecrate a Bible it is the SAME as if they desecrate their own koran.
I doubt the brainwashed islamic fanatics could understand that:indeed,if some mullah or imam was to point that out to them he would probably be murdered by a righteous mob of devout muslims,members of “the religion of peace”.
And the fact that the koran{“the word of allah”} denies,negates and TOTALLY CONTRADICTS the Bible{“the word of allah”} would be too much information for them to bear.Clearly the allah of the koran is NOT the God of the Bible.
The allah of the koran utterly contradicts the allah of the Bible:since the Torah contains the formal official listing of the commandments ,it cannot be in error and since the NT references and amplifies what is written in the OT,it too is not in error.
The koran,however,totally contradicts both Torah and Gospel and yet “allah” claims to be the author of all 3 books:allah the cognitively dissonant.it seems the koran is in error.
Was the Bible first written in Arabic,the language allah the monoglot is limited to?Did Moses and Jesus speak only Arabic?Did they pray to God in 7th century Arabic?Well,of course not…don’t be ridiculous;unlike allah the best of deceivers k3:54,God speaks ALL languages.
And if you believe in the actual God,you won’t have to worry {as converts to islam might} about the fact that in allah’s paradise,filled with lusty priapic Arab men,saucy hooris and “pearly boys”,the only language spoken is of course.{guess!}..Arabic:What about Hebrew-speaking Jews,Greek etc speaking Christians?What about all those Indonesian muslims who don’t know Arabic?
Too bad.allah only speaks Arabic.
gravenimage says
FYI, the only Bible that Muslims respect is the fictional one where the Torah and Gospel has not been “corrupted” by Jews and Christians, and it is exactly like the vicious Qur’an.
Of course, there is no such thing–but pious Muslims don’t care about facts.
