Good post.
Now, this is an excellent post.
Good stuff.
But heartbreaking.
agreed
But Easter is a time that gives me hope. I believe Christians have a unique hope in overcoming these terrible conditions.
Good post. I know know we got on the wrong side of this, I don’t understand why we stayed there.
Bump!
Yes, but Christ died for our sins so that these Christians wouldn't have to. I have no wish to test their Faith beyond that which I am also willing to endure. If I can help them, I will, as I would hope that some one would give me some ray of hope if the situations were reversed. Christ's Resurrection means that "there is always Hope", yet a sign of hope in this world from someone makes it easier to bear for the next.
Here’s the list of the countries where Orthodox Christians are dying: http://www.ocai.info/Site/Welcome.html
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Croatia
Cyprus
Egypt
Eritrea
Ethiopia
Iran
Iraq
Israel and the Palestinian Territories
Kosovo-Metohija, Serbia
Lebanon
Somalia
Sudan
Syria
Turkey
The connection with the West is apparent in almost all of these countries. Most of them are allied to a greater or lesser extent with NATO countries. All of them save Croatia & Ethiopia are Mohammedan or majority Mohammedan (the “Cyprus” referred to is the so called “Turkish Republic of No. Cyprus”). I am surprised to see Syria listed as Christians are far, far safer there than in Kosovo or Turkey or No. Cyprus or Iraq, all client states of the West. Even in the countries which are not majority Mohammedan, it is the Mohammedans who are killing the Orthodox Christians.
Personally, I find it discouraging that the West supports this killing militarily, financially and diplomatically. Speaking out against it is seen in some quarters, even here in the U.S. not just in Western Europe, as being “deranged” and/or disloyal. That, frankly, is astonishing to me. Its something I never would have thought I would live to see.
LOL...peddle your lies elsewhere.
This is what it looks like when you combine Christian with American Patriot.
I figured it would be news to some.
A "patriot" who is dedicated to subverting the sovereignty of the USA to an "international" authority in the name of "human rights?"
That is news to me.
Maybe he should join Amnesty International.
“LOL...peddle your lies elsewhere.”
Not my list; its from the linked site, though I generally agree with it and it is easily backed up. Perhaps the American patriot who developed the list doesn’t know what he’s talking about, right D? Is he “disloyal”, D?
Interesting, and thoroughly appropriate screen name you have there.
Go for it.
No, a patriot who thinks we should be good to our word.
As opposed to a “patriot” who thinks we can just lie and get away with it.
Christians stand up for truth.
Thanks very much for posting this, Bokababe.
IT’S ABOUT TIME.
For too many years now, Christians have been disrespected, dismissed, vilified, or demonized. The ACLU must be rejoicing at the crime that was committed against Christianity by selling out Kosovo to Allah.
For too long, Christians have allowed their non-Christian ‘neighbors’ to trash them, all in the name of “forgiveness”.
LMAO.
BTW, we're living in 2008.
“A link from an article from 1992?
LMAO.
BTW, we’re living in 2008.”
Are the Serbian Orthodox still dead?
