Cooper, Huffman and Adlerstein: The Most Persecuted Religion

[Sopater]

Christians are targeted—by independent groups or governments—in some 131 countries world-wide.

At the height of the Nazi Holocaust, the wretched human cargo spilling out of cattle cars onto the platforms of Auschwitz was immediately subject to a brutal selektion by the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele, whose flick of a finger to the left meant immediate death in a gas chamber; to the right, slave labor and slow death from starvation or disease.

Fast forward to 2012 Nigeria, where a latter-day incarnation of selektion has been used—this time not against Jews, but against Christians.

Nigeria is the most populous black nation on earth. Among its chief blessings are oil and a large array of religious, tribal and language groups. Yet conflict, violence and terrorism are part of reality there, too.

Recently a new line of inhumanity was crossed. In October, armed attackers, presumed to be members of Boko Haram, an Islamist terrorist group with links to al Qaeda, invaded the Tudun Wada Wuro Patuje area, entering the off-campus housing of the Federal Polytechnic State University.

The attackers called students out of their rooms and asked for their names. Those with Christian names were shot dead or killed with knives. Students with traditionally Muslim names were told to quote Islamic scripture. The selektion completed, at least 26 bodies were left in lines outside the buildings.

This is somewhat old, but I didn't see it posted. Muslims would have us all believe that they are the most persecuted religion, yet it's simply not true. In addition, more muslims are killed at the hands of other muslims than by any other religious group.

Every years since 9/11, there have been more attacks against Jews than Muslims.

Hitler was coming after the Christians next, but we spoiled his plans with WWII.

Apparently a large array of religious, tribal and language groups is not such a blessing.

Who wrote this drivel?

[yldstrk]

oh AND we are also targeted by satan

[Carriage Hill]

“...a large array of religious, tribal groups...”

That’s the problem in Africa and Middle East: murderous tribes of subhuman muslim/islamic filth.
