Christians Targeted by Radical Islamists (around the world)
ACLJ ^ | 03-10-09 | Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel

Christians
 Targeted by Radical Islamists

It’s a growing global crisis:  Christians targeted because of their religious beliefs.  In the Middle East, the operator of the only Christian bookstore in Gaza was murdered by Islamic militants.  His crime:  Being a Christian.

Now, a drastic move is reportedly underway at the U.N. to make the dangerous resolution called “Combating Defamation of Religions” binding for member nations, including America.  If this resolution becomes mandatory, it would mean intensified and extreme persecution of Christians around the globe.
 
The ACLJ, along with its European affiliate, is mobilizing an international team to fight for the rights of Christians before the U.N.  Help us protect religious liberty and freedom around the world, and keep Christians from being murdered for their faith, as we continue all of our legal and legislative work in Washington, D.C., and beyond!

The U. N. is at it again. From the email I received:

**It would criminalize proclamation of the Gospel around the globe. Speaking out against Islam, for example, would be an international crime. **

Is this not planned extermination of Christians and Jews?

Well, so do I, but I think my working definition differs significantly from his.

Unless —— his definition includes Predator-launched “Hellfire” missiles, Daisy-cutters, MOABs, .50 caliber mounted machine guns...
