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

“Populist” Hungary donates millions to help foreign persecuted Christians and victims of jihad

Apr 27, 2019 5:50 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The Hungarian government has pledged an initial 9 million forints (roughly $31,000 U.S.) in emergency aid to the survivors of the recent attacks on Christians and Christian churches in Sri Lanka” and Hungary is considering an even larger donation. That’s in addition to millions spent on other aid projects to help persecuted Christians and victims of jihad.

Hungary has been presented in the media as “far right” and “racist” for seeking to maintain the country’s Christian identity–built on peace and free of jihad attacks and Islamic supremacist incursions and doctrines which erode Judea-Christian democracies. There is no tolerance, freedom and human rights in sharia law, which is barbarous as reflected across Islamic states,  and now in areas of the West where it’s proponents have settled in large numbers, thanks to reckless immigration policy.

“The Hungary Helps Agency” has now been set up to aid persecuted Christians who have been mostly abandoned by Western countries and even deceived about the jihad by their own denominations at the highest levels. The Catholic archbishop of Sri Lanka met with purveyors of the Islamic Jihad — ambassadors from the worst countries which fund and support jihad and persecution — and believed them when they told him that the Sri Lankan attacks had nothing to do with Islam.

In Hungary, there is also the Hungary Helps initiative which is “providing nearly $1.7 million to a project aimed at supporting [Christian] hospitals in Syria”, which offers medical care to all faiths.

Hungary is also helping the persecuted Christian Copts in Egypt, Kurds, Christians savagely persecuted by Boko Harem and has donated nearly 1.7 million to renovate Churches in Lebanon.

Kudos to Hungary – the so-called “racist” state —for protecting its country from Islamization while aiding visible minority Christians and Kurds who are suffering under the jihad and daily persecution by Islamic supremacists.

“‘HUNGARY HELPS’ PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS WORLDWIDE”, by Martina Moyski, Church Militant, April 25, 2019:

The Hungarian government has pledged an initial 9 million forints (roughly $31,000 U.S.) in emergency aid to the survivors of the recent attacks on Christians and Christian churches in Sri Lanka.

“We’re considering a larger donation to the Christian churches targeted by these horrific acts of terror,” tweeted Tristan Azbej, deputy secretary of state for the assistance to persecuted Christians.

Tuned into the alarming numbers that, on average, 345 Christians are killed every month throughout the world, Hungary has taken a leadership role in establishing the State Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians and Hungary Helps, “unique in the Western World.”

During a press conference in Budapest on April 16, Azbej announced the establishment of “The Hungary Helps Agency.”

“The task of the new agency, which will be operating within the framework of the State Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians and the Realization of the Hungary Helps Program, will be to coordinate programs to help persecuted Christians,” Azbej said.

The Hungary Helps initiative is providing nearly $1.7 million to a project aimed at supporting hospitals in Syria. Working alongside the AVSI Foundation in partnership with the Gemelli Foundation and the pontifical charity branch “Cor Unum,” Hungary Helps supports the three Catholic hospitals in Syria (St. Louis Hospital in Aleppo, a French hospital and an Italian hospital, both in Damascus) which offer free medical care to the poor regardless of religious affiliation.

Azbej also told the press that the Hungarian government is “running programs in five Middle Eastern and two sub-Saharan countries” with “one of the most extensive programs[being] the reconstruction of the city of Tel Askuf in Northern Iraq.”

In 2014, several hundred Christian families fled from Tel Askuf and many of the settlement’s buildings were damaged or destroyed as a result of ISIS attacks. Azbej reported to the press that “the 580 million-forint donation provided by the Hungary government was enough to enable the Chaldean Catholic Church to rebuild the city, allowing families to return home” — in an albeit currently tenuous situation.

Hungary Helps and the Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians are also assisting Coptic Christians in Egypt, Christians in northeast Nigeria who have been savaged by Boko Haram groups…

          In other words, christianblood is saying that facts don’t matter, and that no one can disagree.

          The fact is that there is no indication at this point that what he says here is true.

          Take it easy, he only said they will ‘try to’. We have already had threats by the EU against Hungary, Poland etc re their stance on refugees which makes his statement plausible.

        I am *no* fan of the EU, kuriakose, including their trying to stymie the Visigrad nations from keeping out invading Muslims.

        But when has the EU ever sanctioned nations for charitable contributions to victims of terrorism?

        We can oppose the genuinely harmful policies of the EU without resorting to lying about them. Really, the truth is on our side.

        • kuriakose says

          It remains to be seen what the EU would do next. So called discrimination policies of Hungary is what they are screaming about. It is not implausible that helping one group above another would constitute ‘discrimination’ to the EU chiefs. Haven’t we seen some bizarre rulings from the EU courts? Let’s wait and see.

    Japanese protect themselves against Islam. Shinto fights back.
    Burmese defends themselves against Islam. Buddhists fight back.
    India confronts Islam. Hindus and Sikhs fight back.
    Hungary challenges Islam. At last, Christians fight back.

    Meanwhile, the secular West submits to Islam and outlaw fighting back.

      You entry about japan fighting back against Islam is way off base. There are many mosques in japan and the muslim in japan are peaceful.

      • gravenimage says

        Apr 27, 2019 at 11:32 pm

        Japan does not allow many immigrants–Muslims least of all.

        There are few Muslims in Japan–mostly a handful of brainless converts. There are just a tiny few from Indonesia or Bangladesh.

        In all, there are an estimated 70,000 in all of Japan. In a population of almost 127 million, that means that Muslims make up just 0.0005% of the population. Last I checked, the number of Mosques–about 14–put this barely in the double digits for the whole nation.

        And yet we are supposed to applaud their not being violent. Good grief…

        • Don McKellar says

          Apr 27, 2019 at 11:59 pm

          But Brian hoff is right about them being peaceful. When the moslem count is 0.0005% of the population they are peaceful. When they get to the 1% level like in the United States they start waging jihad and people die. When they get to the levels that they are in many parts of Europe, they create their own zones of control and imposing sharia on the populous up to a national level.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 28, 2019 at 12:08 am

          True, Don. Just more proof that just having more than a few Muslims is deadly.

      • Bat 21 says

        Apr 28, 2019 at 1:16 am

        The Japanese Supreme Court ruled that the government has the right to “continue” surveillance of mosques, halal restaurants, and Islamic centres as a measure of national security. A small group of Muslims sued stating that their rights were being violated and they did receive a settlement. To date there has not been a terrorist attack in this country carried out by any Muslim faction.

        • Anjuli Pandavar says

          Apr 28, 2019 at 4:46 am

          Bat, do you consider the murder of the Japanese translator of The Satanic Verses, Professor Hitoshi Igarashi, on 12 July 1991 by a Bangladeshi student on the orders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard after Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against Salman Rushdie and “any of those involved in its publication who are aware of its content” *not* to have been a terrorist attack?

        • Bat 21 says

          Apr 28, 2019 at 10:50 am

          No doubt about it. In the eyes of the Japanese government this murder was perhaps a turning point to conduct and introduce greater security measures needed to deal with radical Islam.

        Apr 28, 2019 at 1:30 am

        U are in error Brian.. Most Japs consider Islam and Muslims as a permanent nuisance, but they do not say this outside in their typical polite ways…

  6. James Lincoln says

    Apr 27, 2019 at 7:31 pm

    I have been following the politics of Hungary closely for the last few years. In short:

    Very strong leadership from Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

    They go on record as being a Christian nation with Christian values – and they plan to keep it that way. No Muslim migration – and they do not care what the European Commission thinks about this position.

    They are doing a fantastic job – for a country of their size with relatively limited financial assets – of helping persecuted Christians outside of their country.

    I have plans to vacation in Budapest. Not London, Paris, Stockholm, etc.

    Budapest.

    After that, the other wonderful cities of the rest of the Visegrad group!

    JIHAD

    By a certain definition:

    “Arabic word which literally means striving or struggling, especially with a praiseworthy aim.”

    Consider the source:

    John L. Esposito, ed. (2014). “Jihad”. The Oxford Dictionary of Islam. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

    One really has to ask:

    WHOSE “praiseworthy aim” ???

    • Westman says

      Apr 28, 2019 at 9:32 am

      What political ideology, wearing the skin of religion, has a holy book with a chapter titled, “Booty”? Certainly, then, the aquisition of booty must be honorable; a praiseworthy aim in Islam. And from whose lips did those words of the proper division of booty emanate? The perfect man, the perfect caravan robber, the perfect village pillager, with the perfect jihad aims.

      I smiled when I read your comment. The Pope has just given a huge sum – I cannot remember how much – to Mexico to assist the invaders marching to the US border.

      • Greek Empress says

        Apr 28, 2019 at 5:29 pm

        Mr Russell,
        The pope gave $500k to Mexico to assist with the illegal immigrants. And today we heard that some of them are now being released into our city.

        He also (in my opinion) made it sound like the US is doing a horrible thing by not letting them all in.

        Why didn’t he give the $500k to the Christians in Sri Lanka???

        Unbelievable.

    I woke up this morning feeling extremely angry that the Church has been silent regarding the slaughter of Christians in Sri Lanka, and the fact that I have not personally seen one Christian organisation either asking for donations, given that when Haiti was hit by a large earthquake p, and many other disasters have occurred, there was absolutely no hesitation in asking for money, so I am absolutely delighted that the Hungarians have put their money where there mouths are in that they are a Christian country, praise God at least some Christians are doing what God expects them to do.
