"And so many of us remain under the false impression that the age of the Christian martyrs is ancient history."

Ignored and swept under the rug mainly by media and other Christian haters.
From the beginning of the twentieth century, tens of millions of Christians (up to 100 million by some estimates) have been martyred in the middle east, Asia minor and eastern Europe during the last days of the Ottoman empire and through out Stalins rule. Plus many are killed each year in other places like Africa, Philippines, Malaysia every year by the Mohammedan crusades, which the media remains largely silient about.

Agreed, but with respect I think your point would be clearer if you eschewed the strange phrase “Mohammedan crusades”.

They’re not sewing crosses onto their tunics after all. We should just call their actions “Jihad”, which is what they call them.
