"CHRISTIANS PERSECUTED THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD"
Pig flying moment. This article was published at
The Telegraph. Don't get me wrong. There is plenty of dissembling in the
article and whitewashing but even so, big media never addresses the systematic
persecution and slaughter of non-Muslims in Muslim countries.
President Obama has gone so far as to remove the sections covering religious freedom
and religious peresecton from the Country Reports on Human Rights that the
State department releases.
It's not just Christians, of course, but Hindus, Zoroastrians,
Bahais, Jews, et al
"Christians
persecuted throughout the world" The Telegraph, October 29, 2012 (thanks to Rcoket)
The latest bombing in
Nigeria shows how Christians are increasingly suffering for their faith – and
how their plight is being ignored
Only two days ago, a
suicide bomber crashed a jeep laden with explosives into a packed Catholic
church in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, killing at least eight people and injuring
more than 100 Photo: AFP/Getty Images

Imagine the unspeakable fury that would erupt across the Islamic
world if a Christian-led government in Khartoum had been responsible for the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of Sudanese Muslims over the past 30 years. Or
if Christian gunmen were firebombing mosques in Iraq during Friday prayers. Or
if Muslim girls in Indonesia had been abducted and beheaded on their way to
school, because of their faith.
Such horrors are barely thinkable, of course. But they have all
occurred in reverse, with Christians falling victim to Islamist aggression.
Only two days ago, a suicide bomber crashed a jeep laden with explosives into a
packed Catholic church in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, killing at least eight
people and injuring more than 100. The tragedy bore the imprint of numerous
similar attacks by Boko Haram (which roughly translates as “Western education
is sinful”), an exceptionally bloodthirsty militant group.
Other notable trouble spots include Egypt, where 600,000 Copts –
more than the entire population of Manchester – have emigrated since the 1980s
in the face of harassment or outright oppression.
Why is such a huge scourge chronically under-reported in the West?
One result of this oversight is that the often inflated sense of victimhood
felt by many Muslims has festered unchallenged. Take the fallout of last
month’s protests around the world against the American film about the
Prophet Mohammed. While most of the debate centred on the rule of law and the
limits of free speech, almost nothing was said about how much more routinely
Islamists insult Christians, almost always getting away with their provocations
scot-free.
Innocence of Muslims, the production that spurred all
the outrage, has been rightly dismissed as contemptible trash. What, though, of
a website such as “Guardians of the Faith”, run by Salafist extremists in
Cairo? Among many posts, it has carried an article entitled “Why Muslims are
superior to Copts”. “Being a Muslim girl whose role models are the wives of the
Prophet, who were required to wear the hijab, is better than being a Christian
girl, whose role models are whores,” it declares. “Being a Muslim who fights to
defend his honour and his faith is better than being a Christian who steals,
rapes, and kills children.” Hateful messages breed hateful acts. Is it any
surprise that mobs have set fire to one church after another across Egypt in
recent years?
Read the rest here.

"We see more and more itinerant preachers from Saudi Arabia
and Sudan entering this country - and Muslims are increasingly making political
demands." These demands include extending Islamic Sharia law and making
everyone subject to it - Muslim and non-Muslim alike.

Authorities in Banda Aceh ordered the closure of nine Christian home churches and six Buddhist prayer houses for alleged irregularities in their building permit. According to Deputy Mayor Hajjah Illiza Sa'aduddin Djamal, the buildings were illegal because they lacked the right permit. "Aceh is a special territory that enforces Sharia," she said and home churches violate the law because they lack the appropriate building permit.
