Muslims Burn Gift Boxes From Christians--Meant for Children

The little boys and girls would have had new pens and tablets. They would have come upon decorated boxes filled with presents. These gifts included toys — colorful and safe. There were also books in a country where books are at a premium.

I recall a group of us for the past several Christmases packing shoeboxes full of such items for children. We wrapped them in brightly colored papers. We made certain that there was nothing offensive in the packages. There were midget-sized toys, socks, handkerchiefs, tablets, whistles and the like. We envisioned those children opening up the boxes, smiling from ear to ear. We wanted to do this because we love the children of the world. We feel sorry for the impoverished little ones who don’t own one toy while our children are laden with playthings.

But the next time we package up those gifts, we will wonder what in fact will happen to them once they land in another country, particularly if sent to Somalia. It’s there, according to BBC News, that gift boxes are burned up. The contents never get to the waiting boys and girls.

In fact, the children’s parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles are the ones burning the gift boxes. They today are marching in the streets, demanding that no such gift boxes ever arrive again for their children. It’s a plot. It’s a scheme from Christians to take over the world, starting with their young. It is that sinister work of the Christian church seeking to undo their culture. Therefore, burn up the toys, books, pens and paper. None of it. Have none of it. Not in Somalia.

"Thousands of Somalis have marched through streets in Mogadishu protesting at what they say is an attempt by aid agencies to spread Christianity. Muslim scholars organized the protest following reports that school children were given gifts with Christian emblems alongside charitable aid.

"The protestors set ablaze hundreds of cartons containing goods, some marked only as gifts from the Swiss Church. This is the first such charge against Western aid agencies in Somalia."

Imagine! Hundreds of cartons. Thousands of presents prepared by caring individuals in another country. They had dreams of cheering up those Somalian children. But not if the grown up Muslims have their say.

This evening I was wondering where in the world can we ever find Muslims building hospitals in other countries just because those Muslims care about people. And where are the clinics posted in the rural areas? Where are the schools with books and pens and paper, not placed there by the government, but put there by mosque-caring individuals led by their clerics? Why would Muslims be building those schools in the name of Allah — all because those Muslims love children in other lands who have few if any schools.

Of course, there are no such places. Muslims don’t care. Mosques don’t organize loving agencies. Clerics don’t round up toy boxes for poverty-ridden little ones in other countries.

Muslims have not the dove of the Holy Spirit for their symbol. They have no empty cross standing for the resurrected Savior. They have no good news carrying missionaries sacrificing their Western salaries for ministering to the poor. They have no social workers sent by Christian mission boards. They have no contractors and heavy machine equipment drivers flown in by Christian agencies.

Muslims don’t because they don’t have a religion based on God-love. Their religion is based on the sword — killing non-Muslims or taking them as slaves. Their so-called holy writ, the Koran, stipulates that. Why? Because Allah has demanded it.

Isn’t it all quite sad? And so when the Swiss Church mails loving gifts to Somalian children, Muslim adults get in the way of it all, burning hundreds of boxes before the children’s eyes, determined to continue the religion of hate and kill. After all, better to disappoint their own children than allow them to open gifts of love.

"The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says the demonstrators condemned the gifts handed out by Christian aid agencies, which included toys, books, and pens.

"’These are Christian missionaries working under the cloak of aid workers. The gifts were given to our children without our choice,’ Sheikh Nuur Baaruut, the chairman of the Muslim council told the protesters at Tarabuunka Square.

"The protestors warned the aid agencies against using relief items to evangelize in Somalia."

Also, come to think of it: Where is the Muslim equivalent to Mother Teresa? Oh, I can’t go on. It’s too anguishing to contemplate. A whole world religion given over the devil with their next generation knowing nothing of divine grace and saving love.

ya know, that's a good point. There is no Muslim charity that provides for Christian relief, but Christians have charity for their hethen brothers.

Can we call this WW3 yet?

Already taken. (We won. USSR lost. 100 million dead)
This is WWIV

It does not say religious items were included.

Muslim scholars organized the protest following reports that school children were given gifts with Christian emblems

The protests were based on rumors. The anti-Western propagandists spread rumors they know will enflame the paranoid and ignorant populace.
That's my guess anyway. Anytime you see these stories, it's always someone "heard" something, or, there "were reports". You think the bulk of the media here is biased? Imagine how news and information (such as it is) is disseminated in a place like Somalia.

that Muslims do believe in charity?....

It's called Zakat, the poor tax - 2 1/2 percent.
It's mandatory and it's only for Muslim poor.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

That's how serious vioence began in Palestine in 1929 - a rumor that Jews were rampaging in Jerusalem caused Muslims in Hebron go on an actual rampage killing 67 and evicting all the others (800) permanently.

It is not only ignorance. Muslims believe what suits them and what their power-mad clerics tell them - even if the contrary is right in front of their eyes.

Muslim Credo - 'Keep 'em dumb and dumber' (then, they won't know what we're really up to.....)

[petercooper]

These people are just crazy, that's all. Islam is a death cult.

[TheBattman]

Yep - looks like they are doing enough harm themselves to be so worried about a few harmless and heartfelt gifts......

As I have said before - these islamist monsters are nothing but satanic animals - and will either have to be dealt with as such, or WE will eventually be overrun.

It is that sinister work of the Christian church seeking to undo their culture.

Those pieces of filth have no worthwhile culture.

What is the purpose of the um...custom? in the photos you posted?

Fine. Last time I pack a gift box for a foreign country. Sweet kids burdened with a religion that would prefer they blew themselves up. From now on, the gifts stay here in the U.S. Of A.
