Why is the world silent on the Muslim persecution of Christians? Via Wall Street Journal:

A few weeks ago in the Egyptian city of Marsa Matrouh, after a mosque’s imam exhorted them to cleanse the city of its infidel Christians, called Copts, an enraged mob of 3,000 angry Muslims went on a rampage, destroying 18 homes, 23 shops and 16 cars.

400 Copts barricaded themselves in their church for 10 hours until the frenzy died out.

This was only the latest of more than a dozen such attacks during the past year as waves of mob assaults have forced hundreds, sometimes thousands of Christian citizens to flee their homes.

In each incident the police invariably arrive after the violence is over. No Muslim to date has been convicted for any of these crimes.

Al-Azhar, the world’s preeminent Sunni Islamic institution, has contributed to this widespread hostility by publishing a pamphlet declaring the Bible a corrupted document and Christianity a pagan religion.

Al-Azhar’s textbook for high-school students states that if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, he is not subject to capital punishment since the superior cannot be punished for killing the inferior.

Over the past few decades there has been a systematic and brutal campaign being leveled at the world’s Christian community. This has been happening in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. As disparate as these regions are, the common thread in all of these cases of persecution is that the perpetrators are Muslims. The Muslim persecution of Christians has reached Genocidal proportions.

It is an issue that no one wants to discuss. The level of international attention given to this issue is deafeningly quiet. No outcry, marches, protests, no speeches on the floor of Congress, no speeches at the United Nations. There are no major Hollywood productions and no Tibet-like bumper stickers.

Millions of Christians have been put to death for the sole reason that they are Christian. All of these deaths have been at the hands of Muslims, who kill the “infidel” in the name of their prophet Muhammad.

The time for silence at this Genocidal persecution of Christians is over. The Freedom Center has written pamphlets and numerous articles on this issue, screened an exceptional movie by Pierre Rehov and brought speakers on the campuses of America to shine a light on these atrocities.

Now, the Center is releasing another in its series of flash videos to show in striking reality, the plight of the world’s Christians and to explain the threat they face. Our flash videos have been viewed by millions, from students to activists, the media and public officials.

This flash video, The Muslim Persecution of Christians is a vital tool that can be used to spread the truth and expose the nature of Islam and the threat it poses to all peoples of the world and in this case specifically, the plight of the Christians. The once vibrant Christian communities of the Middle and North Africa are disappearing before our eyes.

It is vital that not only Americans, but the whole world see what is happening. In order for us to have this flash video reach the millions that is necessary for it to have a full impact, we need to raise $55,000 over the month. Those funds will be used to secure targeted lists, post ads on websites, campus newspaper ads, radio spots and mailings.

We hope you can help us today by following this link to give $25 or more. This donation will go a long way in helping us reach our goal and bringing the plight of millions of Christians into the light. Thank you for your support.

Christians in crisis. Via Compass:

Muslim extremists on Sunday (Aug. 31) set ablaze a church building in the Baboko area of this city in central Nigeria’s Kwara state.

The Rev. Samuel Ogowole told Compass that the extremists barred members of his Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) from getting to the building on Sunday, and the Town Planning Development Authority had sealed off the premises following pressure from area Muslims. The congregation had gone to a site on the outskirts of the city for worship when the Muslim extremists destroyed the church building, a 20 million naira (US$170,575) structure built four years ago.

Rev. Ogowole told Compass that area Muslims had complained that the church building is located near a mosque. Compass found that the church building was 500 meters from the Baboko mosque.
