A Genocide of Christians is Underway - and the West Sleeps
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5-22-15 | Giulio Meotti

Posted on 05/26/2015 12:04:18 PM PDT by SJackson

A new document attests to the genocide that is being ignored by the world.

Every year, more than 100,000 Christians are murdered just because of their faith. This means that 11 Christians are murdered every hour. The numbers are contained in a new document presented by John McAreavey, president of the Justice and Peace Commission of the Bishops of Dublin. A genocide of Christians is under way.

In many Middle Eastern cities, from Aleppo to Mosul, the Islamists have dealt with each and every Christian by displacing, killing or forcibly converting them, and just like the Nazis painted the Star of David on the Jewish homes, the jihadists have painted the “N” letter on Christian houses to identify them before destroying them.

The churches have been demolished, the crosses burned and replaced with flags of the Islamic State, entire communities have been displaced, children and women massacred. Everything has been done in plain sight. The Islamists proclaim that they will not stop until Christianity is wiped off the face of the earth.

These Christians are killed just because they didn’t agree to convert. How many in the West would have done the same? In the video of the recent massacre of Coptic Christians in Libya, it has been noted that many of them, before being beheaded, invoked the name of Jesus in Arabic and chanted prayers.

“Aleppo will be left without Christians within one month”, the Chaldean bishop of the Syrian city, Antoine Audo, has announced. He accused not only the Islamic State, but also “the countries of the region with their Wahhabi Islam and anxiety of historical revenge toward Christianity”.

Obama certainly isn’t sleeping. He’s doing everything in his power to assist this genocide.

Doing as “their god”, SATAN is telling them what to do.

The West isn’t asleep - it’s been tied to the bed.

The West is a post-Christian society so I’m not surprised that it doesn’t care.

There isn’t any personal connection between most Westerners and Christians around the world.

Exactly, we haven’t gone to places to protect Christians as far as I know.

The 100,000 figure seems pretty high, though I'm not denying there's a serious problem. I admit I haven't done any research beyond just observing the news, but I think that 10,000 would be closer to the truth.

We hear about the massacres and the beheadings, and the numbers are usually between one and a few dozen, maybe a few hundred in some circumstances.

I don't see how that adds up to 100,000, unless most of it comes from countries (China/North Korea) where news about repression often doesn't get out into the worldwide press.

“How many in the West would have done the same?”

I’m thinking we may get to find out.

Repression against Christians just doesn’t register with our elites because most of them don’t like Christians anyway. It is also contrary to their prejudice that Christians are always the oppressors.

The 100,000 figure was put out by a couple groups and the Vatican a few years ago, most other organizations put it closer to your figure. I think the larger figure uses looser definitions or martyrs. Doesn’t really matter, the intent is there, and no one raises an alarm. You’re right about Korea and China, but I think they’re more into prison than murder. Then there’s Africa. Who knows numbers there.
