Hungarian Government: Christians, Christian Culture Attacked Across Europe, World

The Hungarian government has warned that Christians and Christianity are increasingly being driven out of public life in Europe, as well as being persecuted around the world more viciously than any other religious minority.

“Some years ago, at the Brussels City Hall, it was decided not to set a Christmas tree, and in Santa Monica, California, a ban on nativity screening was made on the grounds of world neutrality,” said Tristan Azbej, the Hungarian state secretary with particular responsibility for the Hungary Helps programme which extends aid to Christian minorities globally, in comments reported by the Hungarian press.

“Meanwhile, in Germany, Christian songbooks have been burned, and in France, churches have been attacked every year, and Christian symbols and religious objects have been damaged, such as the crucifixion,” he added.

There’re places where it’s illegal to display a Nativity scene and you can get fired for wishing #MerryChristmas …and this happens in the name of ‘Liberalism, inclusivity and freedom’. The Hungarian Government stands with Christian values & communities. https://t.co/zDgTC5L3f0 pic.twitter.com/fcwMcRvKKC

“Christianity is the most persecuted religion, with about a quarter of a billion Christians worldwide being persecuted or discriminated against, and thousands of people were killed last year because of their Christian beliefs,” the minister continued.

“The Hungarian government, on the other hand, is committed to the protection of Christian culture and strengthens it in the world by, inter alia, combating migration. They hope that over time, Europe will realize the importance of this, ” he said.

Whats not to like about Ornan and the Hungarians. To star with Ornan was standing alone...looks like his courage has sparked similar movements across Europe.

And we have a Pope who sympathizes with the persecutors of Christians more than the Christians, and calls western civilization “post-Christian”. Is he hoping to officially switch sides after we’re all dead?

Throw all the dogs of the sand back to their old litter box, then destroy the infrastructure.

I’m old enough to remember the brave stand the Hungarians made back in the 50’s against their Soviet overlords. It sas a revolution they attempted. Hungarians must be a courageous people, God bless ‘em.

You can only turn the other cheek so much. There comes a time when you have to fight back.

Hungarians get it. I think the Poles do, too.

There are 2 Americans honoured in Budapest. One is Ronald Reagan with a statue for obvious reasons. The other is surprisingly Elvis Presley. Why Elvis? Well back in 1956 in an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show Elvis expressed support for Hungarians in their struggle. I was completely unaware of this until the Hungarians decided to honour him by naming a square in his name. Hungary didn’t forget.
