I don’t understand why any Christian would want to live in such a place. It doesn’t seem to me that these Islamic countries produce anything, apart from oil, that anyone else wants. Once the oil is gone, they will revert to whatever they were doing before the oil. I think we should just leave them to their idiocy and let nature run its course. Any Christian who voluntarily lives in such a place can’t complain when he/she is forced to live under their system of laws.
Because it’s their home! They should be allowed to live in their own home, right? What, would you have the 8 million Christians living in Egypt just leave?! That is ridiculous. These people are martyrs for the faith - they should have our prayers and our veneration!
Absolutely right. We might forget that Turkey was once a country where the majority of the population was Catholic. It is now 99% Muslim.
I think really, the point should be made that the tendency of Islamo-fascists is to oppress any who are not Muslim. Notice there is an implied current time frame to this situation, whereas when Christians (in the name of Christianity) did “something abhorrent” is long past. Another point is that, Christian leaders typically and consistantly decry “aborrent” actions committed in the name of Christ…is the same true of Muslims?
And Egypt was a Coptic Christian country centuries before Arab muslims took it by force. So Christians there have as much right to call it home as those Arab muslims do.
The simple difference my friend, is that a Christian who does something abhorrent in the name of religion and God is immediately condemned by most other Christians.
Yes…rather than cheered on by them. The problem is that Islam encourages its people to be violent. It is even in their prayers. Here, for example are a couple of examples of how the Islamic faith thinks about Jews.
The lady’s name (Cecelia John Holland) appeared to me to be a western name, not a Sudanese one. I assumed from that, though the article linked did not give that info, that she was not a native. I assumed, maybe wrongly, that she was a visitor, a do-gooder, a missionary, or whatnot.
I disagree. The situation in the world is very different now than it was in the ages when Islam was a powerful conquering empire, converting countries by the sword. Nobody can get away with that sort of behavior anymore. And besides, Islam is a pathetic, corrupt group of peoples who are mostly at war with each other. We should protect ourselves from these people, no question. But to project upon them powers they do not, will never, possess, such as an ability to conquer and dominate outside of their current homelands, is wrong. In fact, we feed their hatreds by involving ourselves with them, such as we are in Iraq. I believe that their ultimate demise will be hastened if we leave them to their civil wars and cultural decline. Soon enough, the oil will be gone, and then we will find them financially bankrupt and probably holding a lot less territory than they do today.
Please do .
This is my truthful opinion. But don’t imagine that I harbor affection for certain violent and oppressive Islamic behaviors… I don’t. My opinion is called “isolationist” by many of my fellow countryment, who claim that I advocate a “retreat” from involvment in the world. However, I only advocate a decisive disentanglement from Islam, to the extent possible. It should be obvious to all, now, that Islam is incapable of joining the rest of us in the modern world. Where I disagree with most of the so-called “conservatives” and so-called “zionist Christians” especially in the U.S., is in the harebrained idea that we can foster a move towards civilization in the various backward Islamic regions, or that we can, by sending our armed children into their midst, help them to know and love us. Our efforts in these areas have been counterproductive. Instead, we should, to the extent possible, seal ourselves off from them, let them continue the cultural deterioration that has been in progress for several lifetimes, and await the inevitable exhaustion of their only resource of value: petroleum. Petroleum is the only reason we pay any attention at all to Islam.
I agree with you .
We agree again! I’ve advocated precisely this for several years. I strongly believe that the civilized world can live without Arab oil. If we want to hasten their inevitable decline, we could do nothing more effective than decisively NOT buying their only significant export. This is very do-able, and would have several very positive side-effects in our countries, such as reduced pollution, increased efficiency, etc. But, the best part of this idea is this: The Arab oil would mostly stay in the ground while the Islamic structures are collapsing above, and could be pumped out at some much later date when it could be exported by more civilized regimes and used by more efficient economies. It is a win-win idea, and one which we should promote. Unfortunately, it would require a declaration of economic war against many, if not most, Islamic nations. While the outcome of this war is not in doubt, the ethical considerations are enormous, in terms of suffering innocents. Still, I wonder if Shock and Awe is less unethical. I suspect not.
That would be fine as long Muslims stay in their own countries and stop immigrating to other countries with the intention of eventually undermining their governments and setting up the inhuman shariah law and the “caliphate”!
The thing is, they can’t stop. The Koran commands them to make war. If they do not, they are not in compliance with the Kroan.That would be fine as long Muslims stay in their own countries and stop immigrating to other countries with the intention of eventually undermining their governments and setting up the inhuman shariah law and the “caliphate”!
