Hungarian PM: Persecuted Christians Will Help Us Save Europe

BUDAPEST, Hungary, November 26, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― The Prime Minister of Hungary believes that the Christians who are being protected from persecution today may save Europe tomorrow.

Victor Orbán, 56, gave a speech today in Budapest at the second International Conference on Christian Persecution.

According to Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, Orbán stated: “I’m convinced that in order to save Europe, those who could provide us with the biggest help are those whom we’re helping right now. We’re sowing a seed, giving the persecuted what they need and getting back from them the Christian faith, love, and persistence.”

The Hungarian Prime Minister also explained that his country’s Christian identity obliges it to help other Christian communities.

“Hungarians believe Christian values lead to peace and happiness, and this is why our Constitution states that protection of Christianity is an obligation for the Hungarian state,” he said.

“It obligates us to protect Christian communities throughout the world suffering persecution.”

Orbán contrasted the large number of Christians among those who suffer for their faith with the indifference of most of Europe.

“Four out of five people persecuted for their faith are Christians and some 245 million Christians around the globe suffer extreme persecution,” he said.

“And yet Europe remains silent again and again!” he continued.

“European politicians seem paralyzed and unable to do anything, insisting that it is all a matter of generic ‘human rights.’”

The Hungarian Prime Minister argued that Christian persecution is not only an attack on people but on an entire culture, “including here in Europe.” This persecution is sometimes violent but sometimes more subtle, including “population exchange through mass migration, stigmatization, mockery, and the muzzle of political correctness.”

With a birth rate below 1.4, the Hungarians don’t seem interested in saving themselves from oblivion.

Europe should have taken in the Yazidi and Christians of the Middle East before letting in Muslims. It would be less of a culture shock.

What Christianity and Western Civilization needs is an activist and passionate GUNG HO—Which is a Chinese word for WORK TOGETHER!

We in the West have a CIVILIZATION TO SAVE! AND WE MUST GET TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER—TO BECOME GUNG HO ONCE AGAIN!

I just tried posting a long history of where Gung HO came from d why it became the US Marine Corps Inspirational Slogan and War Cry During World War Two.

But for some reason it simply vanished from the screen before I finished and posted it.

But my words here are the same. WE IN THE WEST MUST GUNG HO FOR CHRISTIANITY AND WESTERN CIVILIZATION—BECAUSE BOTH WE HERE AT HOME AND THE REST OF THE WORLD NEEDS US!

So, Gung Ho my fellow FReepers. GUNG HO for President Trump and his merry band of populist conservatives! Lets get Thanks back in Thanksgiving, Christ back into Christmas, and make Christmas Great Again! And now, and always wear your red hats, and let’s make America Great Again.
