The Vatican's top cleric in the heart of Muslim Arabia tends to a flock of 2 million Christians spread around six desert nations. But he has to do it quietly: Most of them must still pray in secret and are forbidden to display crosses and other symbols of their faith. n this image taken Tuesday...
From his base in the emirate of Abu Dhabi on the Persian Gulf, Archbishop Paul Hinder travels the Arabian Peninsula, even slipping in and out of Saudi Arabia - the birthplace of Islam, where restrictions on Christians are the toughest.

Because they’re caught up in those oil-rich Arab nations’ purse strings?
Because these restrictions are levied against Christians, and that’s OK.
Human Rights commissions can’t do squat.
The battle is against Powers and Principalities quoting from St.Paul’s letter to the Ephesians Ch.6 Vs.12 “For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.”
Principalities and Powers are the names of two choirs of angels, members of which with Lucifer refused to obey God and were then cast out of heaven.
Understood in this light there is not much we can humanly do without spiritual aid, especially help from Our Blessed Mother Mary, the Mother of God.
Isn’t it curious that two millennia after the birth of Our Lord, Christianity in his birthplace and the first areas to receive the Gospel are now virtually free of Catholics.
This “battle” will be won we are told. But how?
Prayer, penance and repentence.
No Mosques or open Islam in Christian countries until Christians are free in Islamic hell holes.
We just started to play Cowboys and Islam yet.

Well, since “Radical Islam” [IMO, ALL Islam is “radical”] the last couple of decades, the Protestants and Jews are finally coming around to the fact that the Catholics were RIGHT in trying to knock out the Muslim scum from controlling the Holy Land.
[Let’s remember WHY the Crusades were started, you know, like Freakin’ Muslims were trying to kill everyone who didn’t convert and were keeping Christians from visiting Holy Places....]
Christians better PRAY the Israelis remain a country. Otherwise these Muslims will desecrate every Christian sight.
Let’s not forget the Muzzies consider that ANYWHERE a Muslim foot has trod, it’s suddenly “Muslim ground.”
Well the Holy Bible will see to it that Isreal will forever be a country.
