Islamists Targeting Christians ‘Wherever They Can Reach Them’

In 2006, when Pope Benedict quoted history deemed unflattering to Islam, Christians around the Muslim world paid the price: anti-Christian riots ensued, churches were burned, and a nun was murdered in Somalia. That was then. Days ago, when a Christian in Egypt was accused of dating a Muslim woman, twenty-two Christian homes were set ablaze, to cries of “Allah Akbar.” Countless other examples of one group of Christians in the Muslim world being “punished” in response to other Christians exist.

In fact, the recent carnage in Baghdad, wherein Islamists stormed a church during mass, killing over fifty Christian worshippers, was a “response” to Egypt’s Coptic Christian church, which Islamists accuse of kidnapping and torturing Muslim women to convert to Christianity. (Ironically, the well documented reality in Egypt is that Muslims regularly kidnap and force Christian women to convert to Islam: these accusations are part of a new trend whereby Islamists project their own crimes onto the Copts.) And the al-Qaeda affiliated Islamists who perpetrated the Baghdad church massacre have further threatened Christians around the world:

All Christian centres, organisations and institutions, leaders and followers, are legitimate targets for the mujahedeen (holy warriors) wherever they can reach them.”… Let these idolaters [Christians of the world], and at their forefront, the hallucinating tyrant of the Vatican [Pope Benedict], know that the killing sword will not be lifted from the necks of their followers until they declare their innocence from what the dog of the Egyptian Church is doing.

...and before you tune into TBN, run by your local Christian bookstore and pick up a copy of “Chrisitianity in Crisis” and read it.

I believe him to be a modern-day Pharisee. They hated Jesus for all his good works and the power of God that was manifested through Him to bless, heal, and deliver those that were oppressed. No different today.

...yes, and I believe the TBN crowd to be modern day money changers in the temple. However, since you’re advertising for the TBN crowd, people should have the opportunity to see the other side of the coin and make up their own minds on the matter.

You bet.

You should check out how much good these people have done for 37 or so odd years. Satan hates them. The untold millions of souls that have been reached by their ministry and the impact that their ministry is having right now on the Muslim world.

I'm not crazy about the "telethons." I don't know how else a ministry like that could function - maybe there's another way. But I know Paul Crouch is the real deal. He's a faithful and humble man who doesn't like the spotlight on himself and is always giving credit to others and his supporters.

You shall know them by their fruits. If you inspect them, I think you'll find lots of good fruit.
