More evidence that islam is a pestilence that should be eradicated from the earth as the oppressive and reprehensible and evil belief that it is.

And these toad sucking bastages are whoring after protection for eye-slam through the united nations. I wish I could talk to a couple of them for a minute or two.

Yep, that picture clearly shows the traces of a mosque built about 100 B.C. Yeah, they need to tear down the place and rebuild the 3756th holiest site in Islam, The Mosque of the Holy Pork Chop.

The EU should let all the Turks to settle in Germany and Holland and leave Asia Minor to the Christians.

According to the Muslim leaders, there used to be a mosque on the land where the monastery was built.

Uh....OK, give us back Hagia Sophia, that most beautiful example of Byzantine architecture which you Muslims desecrated!

Turkey is a sleeping giant, IMHO. One of these days it's going to do an "Iran, circa 1979". That is, it's going to rise up and overthrow its secular government and a Khomeini-like regime will be installed.

Furthermore, it's no use insisting that we won't and don't proselytise. It gets us nowhere, in the long run. It's a tacit admission that Islam is indeed the true faith and we're there only at their good pleasure. If we're ever to overcome the Islamic scourge, it will be through the spread of Christianity and the conversion of Moslems not through bombs and bullets. It will also likely involve many Christian martyrs.

Easy enough for me to say of course, sitting here on my butt, typing.

“Since that time, there has been a constant exodus of the community toward central and northern Europe, especially Germany (where there are 20,000 Syriacs) and Sweden (70-80,000). In the middle of the 1960’s, there were still about 130,000 of them in Tur Abdin; today there are just 3,000.”

Believe me, NYer, I understand this. The very cradle of Eastern Christianity, the 1st See of Orthodoxy, Constantinople, has been reduced to about 2500 Orthodox Christian people.The Turks are such dogs. And the United States is rightly condemned by Christians for its alliance with these vicious Mohammedans.

For every church (monastery) closed in Turkey close one mosque in the Western Europe.

This is very sad . I’m in the middle of reading “From the Holy Mountain” by William Dalrymple, his travels through Christianity in the Middle East. When he was at Mor Gabriel around 1995 it was still functioning as it had for 1500 years.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in Eastern Christianity.

ISLAMIZATION PING LIST - NEW AS OF FEBRUARY 2009 I have not found a ping list that speaks specifically to this issue, so I am starting one.

The global and purposeful movement of Islam to spread across Europe, North America and eventually the world is the greatest present and emerging threat to western society and its Christian foundation. If you would like to discuss Islam's offensive strategy against Christianity and the West, and keep abreast of the ever-alarming growth of Islam generally, please FRMail and you will be added to the ISLAMIZATION ping list.
