A Baptist lay pastor in Bangladesh was beheaded by a group of assailants reportedly tied to a Muslim political party bent on creating a radical Islamic state.
Dulal Sarkar, 35, was the second Christian leader killed in the Asian country in the past year, according to Compass Direct, a U.S.-based news service that monitors persecution of Christians.
Sarkar was attacked as he returned home from discussing his faith with villagers near Jalalpur.
The assailants were identified by a source as a group of 10 Muslims tied to the Jamaat-e-Islami political party, the nation's third largest and a member of the coalition government. Police have arrested three, according to local Christians.
The Lord be with him
Don't count on seeing this in the so called MSM. Now picture if the roles were reversed. I am sure the MSM would be having a COW. Remember its PC to bash Christians only.
What history is that? All those mohammeden nations in the middle east USED to be Christian.
PSOE=Spanish Socialist Party
Yes, they do. Eventually they will be smacked down, that is a guarantee, but apparently not by us.
gracia's
:)
And panties. The MSM MUST report about the panties-on-heads, to keep the world safe. Don't want to offend the Muslims, do we, by reporting that a Christian pastor was BEHEADED?
Oh you know that old Roman thing.
I listened to Keith Olberman tonight, he didn't say a word about this. <;9/>
Newsflash FRiend: I know the "old Roman thing," and offering it as a portent makes as much sense as warning the American military to beware the armies of Egypt.
I know what you've been told from behind the pulpit, and if it were that simple there should have already been outrageous Christian growth right in the middle of mohammenden lands.
It ain't happened.
At least they didn't pee on the Koran. That would have made the Arab Street angry, and we don't want that. Beheading a Baptist, no problem.
Tell that to the millions in underground churches in China my friend.
We aren't talking about China, friend. The communist Chinese are babes in diapers by historical comparison. Mohammedens have a proven track record of erasing Christianity as a cultural force wherever it's gained dominance.
Don't take my word for it, but at the same time, don't think willful naivety is going to gain you heavenly approval.
HUH? Dude your pride is dumbfounding. The argument was that when christianity is persecuted it grows.
"....don't think willful naivety is going to gain you heavenly approval. "
What a schmuck.
My...you turn to name calling and accusation rather easily. I know what your argument is; I'm telling you it's already been refuted. Where is the growth in mohammeden lands?
It would seem rather obvious there is some distinction between what you call "persecution" and what the mohammedens practice.
You can choose to ignore that fact, but I don't see how it can be considered prideful to point out the Scriptures take a very dim view of those who bury what they've been given rather than making use of it.
Can you think of a closer analogy for presenting comforting bywords to contradict recorded history?
