Victims of Radical Islam and Political Correctness

For years radical Islamists in the Philippines have been attacking
Christians. In late April seven Christians were murdered on the
southern Philippine island of Jolo.

Can you elaborate on those Christians that are being attacked?

Are they really Christians or are they Roman Catholic followers?

If you are realy saying RCC Followers then you need to call them as
such "Catholics" not "Christians".
This is just one more Deception perpetrated by The RCC.

Regular BreakPoint listeners know that, unfortunately, this isn't
unusual. Around the world, Christians are suffering and even dying,
because they are Christians. They know also that the victimizers more
often than not are Islamist militants.

The Islamic Militants are attacking The Catholics because they want to
be agains Christian and the Creator Lord God in defiance of the face of
God. So as long as the RCC Keps on claiming they are Christian then
they will Keep on getting attacked by Islamic Millitants. Simple as
that.

But even by the standards of this tragic history, what happened on Jolo
was an outrage.

The seven, who were working road construction, were kidnapped by the
group Abu Sayyaf, an al Qaeda affiliate.

The group demanded more than $100,000 in ransom from the Christian
community. When it wasn't immediately paid, the seven, two of whom were
teenagers working to help support their impoverished families, were
beheaded. Abu Sayyaf then ordered civilians to take two of the severed
heads to a military camp and left the other five at yet another camp.

I would like to know just who and where that big Christian Community may
be found.
If you Say it is The Roman Catholic Sect you had to go back into Bible
Prophecy to prove just where God Gave the Antichristains the authority
to become, as you claim, Christian.

RCC as Christians is just a Smoke Screen By Rome.

Answer the above and then we may go on.

While the brutality sets this atrocity apart, as I said, there's
nothing unusual about Christians being targeted because they are
Christians. In the past few months alone, I've told BreakPoint
listeners about Christians being targeted in countries as different as
Iraq, China and Burma.

Someone who understands the scale of this persecution is Eliza
Griswold, a Nieman Fellow at Harvard. She has investigated "Christian
martyrdom in Nigeria, Sudan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Yemen, and Iraq,
among other countries." An "undercover priest" in Mosul, Iraq showed
her the "blood of the first martyr of Kurdistan," who had been killed
during an attack on a Christian bookstore.

In her article, "The Believers," which appears in the latest issue of
the New Republic, Griswold compares and contrasts the Christian and
Islamic use of the word "martyr." While in both cases, the word is
derived from a word meaning "witness," the similarity ends there.

For Muslims, "martyr" indicates "a willingness to kill." For
Christians, it means a "willingness to die,"-a big difference

She also describes what she saw and heard at a conference held by the
Voice of the Martyrs, a Christian group that seeks to raise awareness
of the persecuted church. "For people who have dedicated their lives to
this issue," she writes, "if the enemy far is Islam, the enemy near is
political correctness."

By "political correctness," they mean the failure to understand or the
outright denial of Islam's attitudes and actions towards what it calls
"infidels." Getting people to care about the persecution of Christians
is difficult enough, but getting them to care when they are constantly
being told, "Islam is a religion of peace," is nearly impossible.

For the conference attendees, this deadly kind of political correctness
is a bipartisan offense. If anything, they are angrier at those
conservatives who woo evangelical voters and then do nothing about the
persecution as they are with liberals who defend Islam.

There always seems to be a reason not to confront those who persecute
Christians, whether it's money or a fear of alienating a potential ally
on some other, "more important," issue. That's why we must speak out on
their behalf. We must make it impossible for their suffering to be
ignored or bargained away.

Their willingness to die is no excuse for indifference on our part.

Seven???

Sad. Very sad! But now try comparing that with
the hundreds of thousands in the first century.

How much we wish for it to be about us, huh?
