Christians are being deliberately attacked because of their faith across parts of the Muslim world and even martyred for their faith in large numbers, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.

The Most Reverend Justin Welby said that there had been more than 80 Christian “martyrs” in the last few days alone.

He was speaking about the bombing of All Saints Anglican church in Peshawar, Pakistan, in which 85 were killed and more than 200 injured. But he said that Christians were also being singled out for violence in a string of other countries. …

True, it is coming to the USA in time.

The good thing about these attacks is that it will bring about the conversion of more people to the Lord and to the Christian faith.

Let's hope so but I tend to see it another way. If there was ever a group that needed sifting, it's the over-fed, TV-addled, comfortable Western "Christian."

Martyred by the preferred method of decapitation no less.

Where have we heard of that before?

Could be another warning from this trend that the Archbishop has neglected to properly convey.

Just sayin’

Our Pres_ent will get right on this. He is terribly upset about this slaughering of Christians from Pakistan to Libya to Egypt, to Syria - upset because it isn’t yet spread out of the ME.

Crickets from the WH, from his media, from the world.

There is only ONE world leader that is calling out for the world to come together to stop this.

Why aren’t WE screaming from the roof tops, burning up the phone lines to DC and their state offices on this? It gets stopped there or it WILL spread - even to the US. They know they have a friend, a fellow Brother, in the WH.
