wherever Islam has imposed itself by conquest -- in what is now Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, and in the regions of historic Mesopotamia and Palestine -- "Christianity, which had been extraordinarily vigorous and rooted for centuries, practically disappeared." ...

"Obedience to the precept of 'holy war' explains why the history of Islam is one of unending warfare for the conquest of infidel lands." This same "obedience" has led to recent anti-Christian violence in Algeria, Pakistan, Nigeria, Java, East Timor, the Moluccas and, most dramatically, Sudan. Little wonder, ...that ...between roughly one-quarter and one-third of the estimated Christian population of the Middle East has emigrated over the past decade to the free world.

In Nigeria some 11,000 people have been killed in the last three years over the introduction of Islamic sharia law.

for centuries Muslims were filling their harems, their troops, and their civil administration with Islamized Christian children abducted in the Balkans, particularly Serbia, and the Caucasian region.

It appears that wherever Islam meets non-Islam there is blood being spilled: Kashmir, Mindanao, Chechnya, the Balkans, Sudan, Nigeria, Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, and many other places of contact.

The groups who carried out the Bali bombings had already bombed dozens of churches at Christmas eve 2000 (with many bombs wrapped as Christmas present so that children would pick them up).

if persecution continues to drive out Christians from the Middle East (where they were a quarter of the population a century ago) then conflict will be largely Israeli/Jew vs Arab/Muslim with no intermediates.

And that is wrong. Singling out the persecution of Christians as the only category that will be allowed to suffer endlessly under Islamic regimes is not just. Another reason is Terrorism. If the US doesn't help to stop that persecution it would sending a message to the Jihad Terrorists to escalate their ethnic cleansing of Christians worldwide, which has been happening increasingly in the 1990s. The logical next step would be to strike at what the Jihadists perceive as Judeo-Christian societies and hence conduct Terror attacks in the West. We've seen this happening on September 11.

Jihad Against Lebanese Christians

among the injured from the attacks about 90 victims were Lebanese. Five Lebanese nationals were burned to death, including two children, Jad and Raya Mezher. A newly married woman, Nina Joubran, was also massacred. A pregnant woman, Houry Haytaya, and her husband, Dany Ibrahim, were also killed. Another family, the Haidars, were murdered, as well. The fact is certified: The massacre of the Muhayya compound was directed at the Lebanese Christian community living in Saudi Arabia

Osama's audio message, played on al-Jazeera in October, called for the cleansing of Arabia from all people of the Book. There are no Jews left in the Peninsula. Most of the Americans are either gone or in well-protected communities. The next on the Jihadists hit-list are the Lebanese Christians.

Decades before 9/11, al-Qaida's predecessors have slaughtered Lebanese monks in Deir Ashashe in 1975; massacred thousands of Christians in Damour in 1976; and raped, maimed and razed villages in East Sidon in the mid-1980s. Even after the so-called end of the War in Lebanon, bin Laden's men were still rampaging in Christian areas of Lebanon into the new Millennium In January 2000, al-Qaida terrorists murdered a number of civilians in Kfar Habou in Northern Lebanon, slicing the body of a pregnant woman and torturing a nun to death in a Beirut suburb. Lebanese Christian blood was spilled by the organization responsible for September 11 throughout the 1990s.

From Beirut, to Riyadh, passing by Haifa, the region is to be made Lebanese-Christian free. Al-Qaida wants to sign and enjoy its horrors. According to Pierre Atallah, the Lebanese journalist in exile in Paris, who lost his nephew and niece, "the terrorists were machine gunning the victims for more than twenty minutes. Killing has proceeded before the blasts." The bombing in Riyadh was not set by Jihadists against other Muslims; it was a slaughter of Christians.

Al-Hijazi added it was known "that a large group of Lebanese Christians were living there." He openly declared, "After consultation, we decided it was appropriate to attack this place and destroy it, including the people who lived there, because it housed Americans and a large majority of Christians holding Lebanese citizenship."

The Christians were among 14 foreigners arrested after reports of their participation in gatherings that included Saudi converts to Christianity.

Jews at places of worship are systematically being blown up from Turkey to Morocco — along with British consular officials murdered in Istanbul, American diplomats murdered in Jordan, and Western tourists, Christians, and local residents murdered by Muslims in Bali, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. The new rule is that the more likely you are to help, give to, or worship in the Middle East, the more likely you are to be shot or blown up.

Remember, even apart from all the killing in Israel and Iraq, all of the deadly terrorism since 9/11 — the synagogue in Tunisia, French naval personnel in Pakistan, Americans in Karachi, Yemeni attacks on a French ship, the Bali bombing, the Kenyan attack on Israelis, the several deadly attacks on Russians in both Moscow and Chechnya, the assault on housing compounds in Saudi Arabia, the suicide car bombings in Morocco, the Marriott bombing in Indonesia, the mass murdering in Bombay, and the Turkish killing — has been perpetrated exclusively by Muslim fascists and directed at Westerners, Christians, Hindus, and Jews.

U.S. RE-ISSUES TERRORIST STAMP!! ConservativeTruth.org

But the fact is that even the nice Muslims support terrorism. They support terrorism by giving hundreds of millions of dollars to Muslim "charities" (all of it tax-deductible) that PAY HOMICIDE BOMBERS to murder Jews and Christians.

More important, they support terrorism by allowing their Mullahs & Imams (their version of preachers) to preach death and hate toward all infidels (that*s you and me, in case you didn*t know).

You don*t think their "holy men" would do such things - What planet do you live on? Such preaching of violence is so widespread that even the liberal press has been shamed into reporting it. In Pakistan and Afghanistan and Iran and dozens of other Muslim countries, even people who don?t go to religious services can*t escape the hated spewed by their "ministers." LOUDSPEAKERS mounted outside their mosques blare forth calls for "holy war" and "jihad" against all infidels (that*s you and me, folks), compliments of the Muslim clergy.

The worst part is that the same stuff is going on right here in the good old US of A. Oh, they*re more subtle here. They don*t use outdoor loudspeakers. But if you were willing to risk your life going into many mosques here in America wearing a wire, you could come out with tapes of calls to violence and murder that would scare most Americans into action.

Today, Muslim religious leaders lead ceremonies in which various body parts are removed for minor infractions. They still condone beheading for more serious things, like a woman showing her face in public. You don*t believe that? What short memories we have. Less than two years ago the Mullahs chopped of the heads of several dozen women in the national soccer stadium in Afghanistan. Peaceful religion, indeed.

Their stated goal is the same as Hitler*s was. (Perhaps that is why Germany and Iraq had such a cozy relationship while Saddam was in power.) They believe that Islam is destined to rule the world. They do not want to peacefully coexist with us. They want to rule us. Want proof? Just look at all the attempts Israel has made over the last fifty years to peacefully coexist with its Muslim neighbors. The answer has always been the same. "Death to all Jews."

"We will push you into the sea." "No Jew filth will be left to pollute our holy land." Yet Bush insists that "Islam means peace"!

One day earlier, Ando said, dozens of MILF rebels stopped a food truck nearby, tied up the Christian driver and his helper, and then shot and killed them before making off with the food.
Last week, in the same area, Christian passengers on a bus stopped by MILF gunmen were singled out for their inability to speak the local Muslim dialect. Six were shot and killed, police said.
In another incident, a bomb exploded near a cathedral in Cotabato City.

There were victims beaten and tortured through the application of electric current to their genitals by the police, who accused them of being infidels.

The chairman of the Arab Psychiatrists Association, and head of psychiatry at a Cairo university, assures readers and viewers that "there are no Israeli civilians", that co-existence is impossible and that the only effective way of getting rid of Jewish Israelis is for "pure, noble Palestinian bodies" to blow themselves up.

He is almost persuasive: "When the martyr dies a martyr's death, he attains the height of bliss. As a professional psychiatrist, I can say that the height of bliss comes with the end of the countdown: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. And then, you press the button to blow yourself up. When the martyr reaches 'one', and then 'boom', he explodes and senses himself flying . . . It is a transition to another, more beautiful world . . . within seconds, he will see the light of the Creator."

Generally, polytheists were given the choice of conversion or death.

In each conquered land, the Jews and Christians were allowed to remain and cultivate the land in exchange for the payment of a tax to the local Muslim ruler. This tax was called the Kharaj.

The most degrading jobs, such as cleaning the public latrines, fell to the dhimmi. Yemenite Jews, until they immigrated to Israel in 1950, were still required to clean the public latrines and remove dead animals from the city streets.

In Saudi Arabia, the government bulldozed the last Christian church in the kingdom in 1987. It was a unique 12th century structure found near the Yemen border.
