EuroParliament Prez: Christians ‘Not Safe In Our Continent’
Breitbart ^ | 3 Dec 2015 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

In a high-level meeting on religious persecution in Brussels, the President of the European Parliament (EP) said that Europe cannot afford to continue ignoring the fate of Christians, who are "clearly the most persecuted group" in the world.

In Wednesday's meeting, EP President Martin Schulz said that the persecution of Christians is "undervalued" and does not receive enough attention, which has also meant that it "hasn't been properly addressed."

Schulz's concerns were echoed by EP Vice President Antonio Tajani, who warned that Europe sometimes "falls into the temptation of thinking we can ignore this task," referring to the protection Christians throughout the world who suffer persecution.

Speakers cited the work of Open Doors, a human rights organization that monitors the persecution of Christians, noting that 150 million Christians worldwide suffer torture, rape and arbitrary imprisonment. Christians in Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Pakistan, North Korea and Nigeria are among those hardest hit.

The Open Doors report for 2015 found that "Islamic extremism is by far the most significant persecution engine" of Christians in the world today and that "40 of the 50 countries on the World Watch List are affected by this kind of persecution."

For Islamists, Tajani said, Christians are the new "crusaders" of Europe, and because of Islamic persecution in the Middle East more than 70 percent of Christians have fled Iraq since 2003, with another 700 thousand Christians who have been forced to leave their home in Syria since the outbreak of civil war.

"Each month 200 churches and places of worship in the world are attacked and destroyed. Every day and in every region of the world, there are new cases of persecution against Christians," said Tajani.

So let in some more Muslims, you European geniuses. (Just like the traitor in the WH is doing.)

If these fools were content merely to commit suicide, there wouldn't be much of a problem, but they want to take the rest of us--AND OUR CHILDREN!--with them!

This proves the old adage that a fool is more dangerous than a scoundrel!

Secular totalitarians wan’t to eliminate Christians, too. Sunni, shia, secular. Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives are carving up the planet. Everything else is collateral damage.

DEPOPULATE totalitarians from the body politic. DEFUND/DISMANTLE/DESTROY their collectives as necessary.

Hey, maybe they should let in millions more of these Muslims? They are such a blessing and benefit to Europe - not to mention the entire world!

Oh, wait. They already are...
