WARSAW: A Christian group in the Polish city of Poznan has put up posters in the citys trams of modern martyrs who have died at the hands of Muslims or in Muslim nations, its head said Monday.
We did this in the spirit of Christian solidarity with those who suffer for their faith, said Boguslaw Kiernicki, head of the St Benedict Foundation which was created six months ago.
Christians in Poland are in a comfortable situation, but there are others in other countries who are not, he said. A grouping representing Polands tiny Muslim population, which represents some 30,000 people out of the countrys population of 38 million, called the poster exhibition a provocation.
It also said it was ill-timed, as anger in the Muslim world runs high after publication in European newspapers of cartoons of Islams Prophet Mohammed. Some 300 posters are on display in Poznans trams, showing Christians who have died in Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and Indonesia, among other countries.
The captions on the posters describe their road to Calvary and call on Polands predominantly Roman Catholic faithful to pray for these modern martyrs. afp
I recently had serious words with a friend of mine who claimed that the Islamofascists were just "angry." I believe they are evil. Anger does not deliberately kill the innocent, evil does.
How can you fight evil if you don't identify it? Or worse, how can you fight evil if you deliberately ignore its presence?
If you do the latter, you are aiding evil. It's that simple.
I love your home page!
Your home town is beautiful....I need to visit Poland some day.
Glad you liked it :-)
This is commendable act. Christians are endangered from Malaysia to Europe.
Poland can not do much to protect Christians in red China or green Saudi Arabia. However, Poland, as a NATO member, EU member and COE member can do a lot to protect Christians in Europe
Hovever, there is no outcry in Poland among the faithful to stop persecution of Christians in Kosovo and destruction of Christian shrines
DTA - your link is not working to the site. I would very much like to read the article.
"How can you fight evil if you don't identify it? Or worse, how can you fight evil if you deliberately ignore its presence?"
This is a solidly Biblical question, too. The church is being deceived by those who keep changing the verbiage so that evil is unidentifiable and has a "soft" (harmless) appearance and can therfore be ignored.
Some are destroyed in pogrom in March 2004. For example, Cathedral of The Mother of God of Ljevis built in 1309-12
This is how frescoe painted in 1312 looked before destruction:
It was more than 50 years before Italian Renaissance.
This is how it looks like after destruction:
Kosovo ancient Churches and monasteries are Christian, European and World heritage, not only belonging to the Serbs.
What is happening in Kosovo today will be happening in the rest of Europe tomorrow.
The Polish would be wise to reduce this number to 0 by summer.
Where is that in the Bible? It's something that I wasn't aware of.....
