Hungarian Government Prepares to Rescue Persecuted Christians

Hungary aims to aid and defend Christians persecuted by ISIS.

Hungary has announced a new initiative to fight forces that discriminate against and persecute Christians. The government has decided that in the light of the recent attacks on Christians, a new department will be set up in Hungary to study these cases and fight radical forces that threaten the lives of innocent Christians. The authorities have indicated that this department will not only take into consideration the attacks that have been happening in the Middle East, but also the disguised forms of discrimination against Christians in Europe.

Hungary's Minister for Human Capacities, Zoltan Balog said, “Christianity has become the most persecuted religion, where out of five people killed out of religious reasons, four of them are Christians. In 81 countries around the world Christians are persecuted and 200 million Christians live in areas where they are discriminated against. Millions of Christian lives are threatened by followers of radical religious ideologies."

This department will be the first of its kind to deal with the issue of Christian persecution in any country so far. The authorities have revealed that this is of utmost importance in today's world as Christianity faces threats from a number of radical groups like ISIS, Boko Haram and other such groups. The authorities also believe that discrimination against devout Christians in Europe is on a steady rise, and the department will be studying this too. With persecution in Middle Eastern countries being openly carried out, Balog said, “we will keep a vigilant eye on the more subtle forms of persecutions within European borders."

Well, Barrack Hussein Obama has rescued 2 Christians of every 1000 refugees from Syria, the 998 being Muslim. He meant it when he said he would always be on the side of Islam. Stupid us for not believing him.

Hungary is just doing some great things.The President stating Islam was inconsistent with their Constitution was a great foundation.Maybe it’s time to emigrate there. At least visit them and bless them.

It has broken my heart that it hasn’t been our government doing this. I ask blessings upon the Hungarian government in their endeavor.

Used to be:

East Europe - backward, suicidal
West Europe - advanced, thriving

Now it is:

East Europe - awakened, life-seeking
West Europe - asleep, death-seeking

If the Hildabeast actually wins (steals) the election, I wonder if Hungary would accept American refugees.

I never thought that I would see the day when Central and Eastern Europe would be superior to Western Europe. But, here we are.

THe leader of that country has endorsed Mr. Trump, which is a good sign. Do not be surprised if most of the world has endorsed Mr. Trump.

I'll bet at least 80% of the remaining 20% are Muslims being killed by another brand of Muslims.

True. Orban is one of the world’s bravest leaders. He chooses to protect his nation & its culture & cares not one whit about being politically correct.

No wonder he supports Trump.
