According to a news release from International Christian Concern (ICC) , Christians in the Ethiopian city of Besheno are being harassed and physically abused after Muslims posted notices on the doors of Christian homes warning them to convert, leave the city or face death.
Three Christian leaders were forced to flee while two Christians have been forced to convert to Islam, said the ICC report. In the Muslim majority city, the entire evangelical Christian community consists of about 30 believers.
The ICC says that Evangelist Kassa Awano remains in critical condition after Muslims attacked him on November 29, 2010. A few days after the attack, nearly 100 Muslims surrounded a vehicle carrying Christian leaders on their way to negotiate for peace with Muslim leaders. Two men, Tesema Hirego and Niggusie Denano, were seriously wounded, and the other leaders suffered minor injuries. On January 2, Muslims assaulted Temesgen Peteros with a knife after he testified about the attacks on these Christians in court.
Christians in Besheno have been targeted by Muslims for many years. On May 21, 2004, Muslims murdered the 7 year-old daughter of Evangelist Tesfaye Hobe. Muslims continuously attack Christians for listening to Christian songs and watching Christian videos.
“We ask for our constitutional right [to freedom of religion] to be respected. We want this inhumane act to stop. We are unable to live in our own city due to the inhumane acts,” one of the Christian leaders who fled the city told ICC.
The ICC report said "The local Muslim officials of the city refuse to protect the Christians.

This is what the Sharia brings? This is the religion of peace? Do we want Sharia in America?

“Islam is a peaceful religion.” - George W. Bush
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
The religion of peace.
I dunno how he can live with himself for saying that right after they killed so many in allah’s name.
All about the $$$ though..
Prayer and a few B83’s might work. The latter being the only thing that matters.
I’ve had liberals say to me “Bush is so stupid”. And I’m thinking “I think so, too, but probably not for the same reason.” He was either dumb as a rock or very naive about the muslim terrorists and the “women of cover”.
Every Muslim and leftist on Earth is guilty of murder.
FYI
And this suprises anyone? Heck, they’re just doing what Muslims do.
There just no end to Muslim charm...
Bush had an excuse - we were all new to the ‘charms’ of Islam... What’s Obama’s excuse?
I doubt he really believed what he was saying. It’s all about the cashola and pals in high places.
Basically, he was lying on this stuff. Nobody, and I mean nobody, really thinks they are ‘peaceful’ except for the true internationlist idealogues on DU. Everyone else says it for the $ or some benefit.
First, we need to get the Muslim out of the White House and elect somebody who isn't afraid to recognize exactly what Islam's intentions are and address that.
With whatever force is necessary.
Many have killed in Christ's name. Does that mean Christianity is not a peaceful religion?

There is no other way.
Killing for mohammed/allah is, fundamentally, demanded by the ideology.
Two different ballparks. You can draw up a Venn Diagram of the two systems and see how they don't overlap if you need to.
