“Amid the international community’s lack of response to the ongoing severe persecution of Christians in the Middle East, the small nation of Hungary is spending millions of dollars in the region to help rebuild churches and Christian communities.”
Hungarian Foreign Affairs Minister Peter Szijjarto has stated:
While Muslim leaders speak enthusiastically about the plight of their mistreated people, Christians shy away from highlighting the persecution of Christians. “The international community is absolutely not sensitive” to Christian persecution, and prefers to address issues of “religious minorities.”
It is appalling that Christian organizations generally ignore the plight of Christians persecuted by Muslims, and the Muslim genocide of Christians in the Middle East and in Africa. Muslim lobbies, meanwhile, are infamous for crying “Islamophobia” at every turn, often labeling people “Islamophobic” for merely pointing out abuses committed in the name of Islam. It has unfortunately been conditioned into Western societies to tread carefully around Muslims even if criticism is warranted, for fear of being deemed “racist.” While all that is happening, Christians who suffer persecution at the hands of Islamic supremacists are ignored, so the unimaginable abuse continues.
The Hungarian government is a model of justice, and its values should be replicated in all free societies.
“Hungary rebuilding churches, Christian towns in Middle East to strengthen Christianity worldwide,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, March 3, 2020:
Amid the international community’s lack of response to the ongoing severe persecution of Christians in the Middle East, the small nation of Hungary is spending millions of dollars in the region to help rebuild churches and Christian communities.
This central European country is home to less than 1% of the world’s population, but it has spent at least $40 million since 2017 helping persecuted Christians, according to Fox News, which spoke to Peter Szijjarto, Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
“We give the money directly to the churches, to the church communities. We have rebuilt 33 torn-down Christian churches in Lebanon, for example,” Szijjarto was quoted as saying.
Hungary, which affirms its Christian foundations in its constitution that was ratified in 2011, has also rebuilt towns and schools for the Christian communities in the Middle East. Hungarian funds have been used to rebuild 1,000 homes on the Ninevah Plains in Iraq, according to Catholic News Service.
“Under current circumstances, when we are faced with tremendous historic challenges ahead of us, ahead of the European Union, someone has to speak openly,” Szijjarto said. “And this road is taken by us currently.”
Last month, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Oban acknowledged in a speech that the Christian culture was under attack. “A whole culture is under organized attack, our culture and our civilization. Not only in Africa, not only in the Middle East, but here, too, in Europe, the land of, so far, the most successful Christian culture.”
Orban, who is serving for a third consecutive term, has been criticized for being vocal about conservative issues.
Szijjarto defended him in his interview with Fox News. “If a nation is not proud of its national identity, or if it does not stick to historic cultural and religious heritage, then that country and that nation will not be strong for sure because it loses the anchor,” he said.
“In global politics, the fact that Christians are being persecuted is being ignored,” Szijjarto said last September, according to CNS. He said his government was “fighting against the perception that Christianophobia would be the last acceptable form of discrimination.”
Szijjarto added that while Muslim leaders speak enthusiastically about the plight of their mistreated people, Christians shy away from highlighting the persecution of Christians. “The international community is absolutely not sensitive” to Christian persecution, and prefers to address issues of “religious minorities,” he said……
Steve Edelman says
I would suggest that they would “tithe” those Islamic animals for all of the damage that they did, and to rebuild churches and/or synagogues.
Tom Cheria says
God Bless Hungary!!
Andrew Sears says
I fully agree with you. God Bless Hungary and every Free Christian Nation that wishes to survive.
ronyvo says
AMEN and AMEN. This small, but courageous country Hungary is leading as a role model to be followed by the rest of the Christian countries, I HOPE. It became obvious to the sleeping conscious counties that ISLAM is our most dangerous element EVER. God (not allah) bless Hungary and it’s fantastic leaders.
oldschool says
Yes. What a contrast between the leadership and people of Hungary and the feckless, arrogant and stupid “leadership” of France or Germany. Hungary understands that it has a culture and deep roots in civilization and is therefore capable of contributing to and nurturing it. France is led by a fool who is so full of himself that he thinks he will make up a new religion for Muslims to follow. I’m betting on Hungary.
brenrod says
where is the vatican and the pope?????
Mahendra Singh says
Ditto from a Hindu. Thanks.
David says
Will this be reported by the MSM? Pigs might fly! Well done Hungary. A shining example, and a beacon of hope. Unlike other countries, there are few if none of muslims in Hungary to mount street protests. Way to go!
How long before the re-builds get attacked again? Let’s pray that they don’t.
Michael Copeland says
Hungary shows the way.
Rarely says
Not much of a solution — just rebuilding the targets.
Nice that someone is doing something though. Maybe it will help open some eyes but I somehow doubt it.
Clive Delmonte says
Hungary may need our active support. Our ex-EU stuck ups are taking Hungary to the ECJ because Hungary will not allow in its “quota” of jihadis and criminals who are bent on taking over Western civilization.
Student of History says
Dear God,
Please bless Hungary and its people, especially its leader Orban.
Amen.
They deserve it if anyone does.
James Lincoln says
“Hungary Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto tells EWTN News Nightly with Lauren Ashburn about the meetings this week between his country’s leader and President Trump. He also examines how his country is defending religious freedom.”

Glyn david says
Melbourne Victoria in Australia used to be the most livable city in the world but now has imported somalians & other assholes that are running amok all over…some very bad cases of assault …daylight robbery & stick ups of booze shops.. car jackings rapes & the usual mayhem they cause or create…
OLD GUY says
The same results are taking place in American cities where the churches have brought these Somalians and other muslim peoples into our communities.
gravenimage says
This is happening all over the West.

Hungary spending tens of millions to rebuild churches and Christian communities destroyed by jihadis in Middle East
…….. ……………….
This is good of Hungary. Grimly, though, Muslim countries are not going to stop victimizing Christians. Better, perhaps, to give them asylum.
UNCLE VLADDI says
This is a total waste of time and money, but still …. it does show up those other European cucks AS cucks!
