Ummm... isn’t slavery still a problem over there? By NON-whites?
Judeophobia sometimes seems like a satanic religion. One wonders, given the fact that it was the Hebrews who introduced the world to Jehovah.
I attend an Assembly of God church where people of all races - white, black, yellow, brown - worship together as borthers and sisters in Christ.
Yeah, it is, though few admit it. One of the ‘markets’ is, or was up until very recently, those peaceloving Tauregs that just declared independence in northern Mali...but that is relatively minor. As most other things evil, Islam is up to its neck in it.

Chad
IRIN (Integrated Regional Information Networks) of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports children being sold to Arab herdsmen in Chad. As part of a new identity imposed on them the herdsmen “...change their name, forbid them to speak in their native dialect, ban them from conversing with people from their own ethnic group and make them adopt Islam as their religion.”[23]
Mali
The Malian government denies that slavery exists, but some say slavery still continues as a reflection of the poverty in Mali.[24]
Mauritania
A system exists now by which Arab Muslims — the bidanes—own black slaves, the haratines.
...
In Mauritania, despite slave ownership having been banned by law in 1981, hereditary slavery continues.[30] Moreover, according to Amnesty International:
“Not only has the government denied the existence of slavery and failed to respond to cases brought to its attention, it has hampered the activities of organisations which are working on the issue, including by refusing to grant them official recognition”.[31]
Imam El Hassan Ould Benyamin of Tayarat in 1997 expressed his views about earlier proclamations ending slavery in his country as follows:
“[it] is contrary to the teachings of the fundamental text of Islamic law, the Quran ... [and] amounts to the expropriation from Muslims of their goods; goods that were acquired legally. The state, if it is Islamic, does not have the right to seize my house, my wife or my slave.”[32]
Sudan
Main article: Slavery in Sudan
Sudan has seen a resurgence of slavery since 1983, associated with the Second Sudanese Civil War.[33]
In the Sudan, Christian and animist captives in the civil war are often enslaved, and female prisoners are often used sexually, with their Muslim captors claiming that Islamic law grants them permission.[34] According to CBS news, slaves have been sold for $50 apiece.

The Arab slave trade was most active in West Asia, North Africa and East Africa. By the end of the 19th century, such activity had reached a low ebb. In the early 20th century (post World War I) slavery was gradually outlawed and suppressed in Muslim lands, largely due to pressure exerted by Western nations such as Britain and France.[4] However, slavery claiming the sanction of Islam is documented presently in the African republics of Chad, Mauritania, Niger, Mali and Sudan.[12][13][14]
There are many well documented current cases in Saudi & the other Gulf states.
Current status While slavery is illegal in Saudi Arabia despite Shaykh al-Fawzan's fatwa, the proclamation carries weight among many Salafi Muslims. According to reformist jurist and author Khaled Abou El Fadl, it "is particularly disturbing and dangerous because it effectively legitimates the trafficking in and sexual exploitation of so-called domestic workers in the Gulf region and especially Saudi Arabia."[134] Organized criminal gangs smuggle children into Saudi Arabia where they are enslaved, sometimes mutilated, and forced to work as beggars. When caught, the children are deported as illegal aliens.
NOT mentioned are the many cases of (mainly) domestics enslaved by Muslim households, even HERE, in the U.S.; in Britain, and everywhere else that Satan spawn invades.
Somehow, the usual suspects will STILL blame it on Whitey.
Let’s see. Who in 2008 said they would change our history and traditions? Oh yeah. Michelle Obama. Makes me wonder if they took lessons from the Muslims or was it the other way around.
Jesus may have standing in the Muslim world but Christians do not.
The New Testament doesn’t bother describing his person. Just a typical Jew of his time and place. Nazareth was a frontier town, colonized by Jews.
Unfortunately, that seems to be very much the exception. Even the ancient ethnic churches who share "the church of the holy sepulchre" are constantly scuffling and can't get along with one another.
Yes, He did. No, they don't.
They stay there, though, and are pretty stubborn about leaving. It's their home, I guess.
I would get outta Dodge. We lived overseas and DID get outta Dodge where we weren't wanted.
The situation of Christians began to get worse after the Young Turks took over. They hated Christians as much as American liberals do, but had the power to suppress the Armenians, Greeks, etc.
Most Black Pastors are scab picking racists looking for revenge which they push as pay offs to them and/or their congregations, socialist handouts, black peferences and never ending reparations. Being a Black pastor most often means never having to forgive and hating forever.
They demand to have their shoes racially licked by White pastors or they falsely accuse and smear the targets as raaaaacis and proclaim the “body of Christ” divided by race. Most (not all) White Pastors are willing to obey because they know as much about Christ’s forgiveness and release from sin as their Black racist counterparts. I have been watching this unholy dance for a long time.
Having been to Turkey (2008) I agree with you. These young Turks you write about dislike America, not just Christians. Turkey seems to be turning MORE Muslim, less friendly with the west.
They STILL have the power to suppress those in their sphere of influence.
