NOW will the world wake up to the Islamist war against Christianity?
2013-09-23
[BLOGS.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Can we go easy on the phrase "religion of peace" today? Of course most Mohammedans are horrified what may be the biggest slaughter of Christians by Islamists in modern times: at the time of writing, estimates of the number of dead at All Saints' Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
are ranging from 60 to 200. These faithful worshippers are the victims, first and foremost, of Islamic fanatics whose psychotic creed is held by a small minority of the world's Mohammedans.

But... they are ALSO the victims of our "ally" Pakistain's failure to protect Christians who have pleaded for protection against the religious cleansing that led to over 100 homes being torched in a Christian enclave of the city of Lahore in March by a mob furious at reports of alleged blasphemy. Don't tell me that every member of that mob was a paid-up, al-Qaeda jihadist: this is also tribal violence inspired by an extreme interpretation of Islamic teachings that is gaining traction in the developing world. What has the Pakistain government done to stop it? Not enough (if anything).

Come to that, how much have Mohammedan community leaders around the world done to condemn this sort of slaughter by their co-religionists? Not enough. Let's see if they manage more than their usual regretful throat-clearing today.

And HM Government? Not enough. I have a friend in the House of Lords who tries to persuade ministers to say more about the persecution of Christians. It's uphill work.

And the Churches? Yes, they have spoken out... once they've finished burbling about climate change. No wonder Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali had to resign his see before he felt he could speak freely about these crimes, unhampered by multicultural collegiality.

#11  #5 I hesitate a bit before referring to Lord Kitchener's TTP and military prowess as the potential.... 'way ahead'.

Sirdar Horatio Herbert Kitchener,
Of rear attack a skilled practitioner,
Wasn't so bad for a toff:
He gave the Khartoumians Fridays off.



Muhammad Ahmad bin Abdallah
Was a right messianic old fella,
Whose tale is not dull,
As retold by his skull,
One helluva great storyteller!

"Could you put the nightlight on?"
"Sure thing, Night. Sleep tight."

No. Since the MSM practices the same war, those words will never be presented to the public.

#4  General Kitchener had the Islamic Mahdi's skull dug up and used it for a paperweight.....

that seemed to work.

Islam will, if they think they can.

You don't hear the majority of Moslems all over the world being shocked, do you? Stop and listen. No outcry from Mecca. No fatwas against the killing.....quite a bit of killing too actually..and ALL OVER the place. Moslem Values. THAT might have something to do with it.

Anybody PC incensed at my statements? Maybe your Mother was French? And always remember the Saudis are our friends.
