Prince Charles: We Cannot Ignore the Plight of Christians in the Middle East
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 12/19/13 | Simon Caldwell

Posted on 12/19/2013 7:06:47 AM PST by marshmallow

Prince Charles has said he is “deeply troubled” by the plight of Christians in the Middle East.

In an address on Tuesday at London’s Clarence House, the Prince of Wales said that Christians in the Middle-East were being persecuted by “Islamist fundamentalist militants,” and he called upon the followers of Christianity, Judaism and Islam to unite to end the suffering.

Prince Charles said: “I have for some time now been deeply troubled by the growing difficulties faced by the Christian communities in various parts of the Middle East.

“It seems to me that we cannot ignore the fact that Christians in the Middle East are increasingly being deliberately targeted by fundamentalist Islamist militants.

“Christianity was literally born in the Middle East,” he said, “and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ.”

The prince said the festive season was an opportunity for Christians, Muslims and Jews to stress what bound them together and to redouble their combined efforts to “express outrage at all that tears us asunder.”

Apparently Charles has not heard of the Muslim Motto: “Kill all the Christians and Jews”.

Three cheers for Charles! Now...what are we going to do about it? It's not only the ME...the situation is very bad in most of Africa as well.

Cool. I agree entirely. Now can we start a Christian Charity that provides rifles, machine guns, RPGs, ammo and heavy weapons to Christians so that they “maxim their oppressors as Christians ought to do?”

Why is he saying this now? This has been a major problem for a long time. What is the real reason?

The future decadent head of the Church of England finally says something intelligent. File this under the observation that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Is the future king and great admirer of Henry VIII proposing a Crusade of sorts? Is the decay of the West due to poor leaders or are poor leaders the manifestation of the decay and decadence.

Prince Charles joins a long line of world leaders who have come to the defense of Christians under attack by the blood- thirsty Muslim Brotherhood.

Chief among leaders is Egyptian General Abdel al-Sisi---who drove the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics----and has vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by Muslims. Al-Sisi is revered by workaday Egyptians who consider the M/B to be terrorists.

As the post-Morsi crisis unfolded, Gen al-Sisi was joined in his effort by China and Russia (Putin is a committed Christian) in decrying The Muslim Brotherhood's attack on Egyptian Christian's churches, homes and businesses.

Moreover, last summer, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis and the UA Emirates deposited over $12 billion in Egyptian government accounts as a down payment.....w/ more $$aid to come to support Gen al-Sisi's anti-Muslim Brotherhood effort.

Alas, one leader is notable absent from this effort---that would be US President Obama. He vengefully exerted financial pressure by “cutting” US military aid to Egypt... but it's NOT working.

China, Russia and the Arabs stood foursquare by Egypt and in the process smacked down Qatar, the Turkish M/B, Erdogan....AND, most of all, the Islamofascist Obama administration.

====================================================

REFERENCE At the Hay Literary festival in Wales, author and PBS historian, Niall Ferguson, spent much of his time dissing Obama's "smart power" speech delivered in Cairo in 2009......describing it as "touchy feely nonsense"...

Ferguson has sent out warnings about Obama's failure to come to terms with what Ferguson sees as the potential rise of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the possible "restoration of the caliphate and the strict application of Sharia"........themes at the heart of this new book "Civilization: The West and the Rest"...............

Ferguson's standpoint is that Western dominance has been a progressive civilizing force.....his new book reinforces these arguments postulating that there were six killer "apps" which propelled the West to a position of predominance.

These were competition, science, property, modern science, consumption and work ethic, each with a dedicated chapter in the book.

Ferguson contrasts how China was the world's most advanced civilization in the 15th century but stagnated and was overtaken by Dutch mercantilism and the rise of capitalism employing the six "skills".

In his books, and on his compelling PBS series "Civilization," Ferguson lists "morality" as a strategic strength of Western Civilization. He points out the successful Chinese business city Wenzou also has 1,400 churches.

=================================

WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH HILLARY? There is a move afoot to return Muslim Brother Morsi to power---- b/c Hillary is running scared. BUT Morsi is an also-ran. Egyptians are going to elect Egyptian Gen Abdel al-Sisi. Egyptians consider the M/B to be terrorists --- and they revere Gen al Sisi who drove the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.

=================================================

FIVE SECOND BENGHAZI QUIZ--Hillary is toast

(Q.) Who holds the key to unlocking the Benghazi secrets Obama and Hillary will not divulge?

(A.) That would be Egyptian Gen Abdel al-Sisi who drove blood-thirsty Muslims out of Egyptian politics and has vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Right now, sitting in an Egyptian jail is a man al-Sisi arrested for inciting terrorism. That man is Gehad al Hadad....once employed by the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation.

THE CLINTONS IN-HOUSE MUSLIM TERRORIST the Clintons tax-exempt foundation employed a Muslim Brotherhood activist.

Muslim Brother Gehad el-Haddad--the Clintons' employee
(The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")

Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."

As far as I know, Egypt does not have any limitations on obtaining information from terrorists---like prohibiting waterboarding, etc.

Rest assured---we will know everything---all in good time.

Your; Is the decay of the West due to poor leaders or are poor leaders the manifestation of the decay and decadence.

Should England wish to reverse its decline, one of the first places to clean house would be the Church of England. Similar thing here, America's churches are in desperate need of cleaning.

Seriously doubt it will happen in either case.

Thanks, Chuck, for your token vocal support. Now you can
resume ignoring the plight of Christians in the Muslim East
and get back to global warming hand wringing.

His global warming schtick is losing traction, so maybe he’s looking for another cause to champion in order to appear relevant.

Charles said that? Charles? The same Charles that wants to be known (when he becomes King, as “defender of the FAITHS” (not “faith”).
