An exodus of Christians is taking place in Western Syria: the Christian population has fled the city of Qusayr, near Homs, following an ultimatum issued by the military chief of the armed opposition, Abdel Salam Harba.

This is what local sources told Vatican news agency Fides, pointing out that since the conflict broke out, only a thousand of the city’s ten thousand faithful, were left and they are now being forced to flee immediately. Some of the city’s mosques have issued the message again, announcing from the minarets: “Christians must leave Qusayr within six days, ending Friday.” The ultimatum therefore expired on 8 June and spread fear among the Christian population which had started to regain hope as a result of the presence of the Jesuit Fr. Paolo Dall’Oglio, who stopped off in Qusayr for a week to “pray and fast in the name of peace, right in the midst of conflict.”

The reasons for this ultimatum remain a mystery. Some say it is necessary in order to protect faithful from further suffering; other sources reveal “a continuity in discrimination and selective repression.” Others still claim that Christians have openly expressed their loyalty to the state and this is why the opposition army is chasing them away. Now Christian families in Qusayr have begun their exodus as displaced persons, towards the surrounding valleys and rural areas. Some have taken refuge in parents’ and friends’ homes in Damascus. Very few families have courageously decided to stay behind in their birth city but who knows what fate will meet. Fides sources have reiterated that groups of Salafi Islamic extremists within the armed opposition consider Christians as “infidels”; they confiscate their belongings, carry out mass executions and are ready to declare a “denominational war”.

ABBAS SAYS J’LEM ONLY HAS ISLAMIC AND CHRISTIAN HISTORY……..

 

Now that’s called anti-Semitism. 

Jews living in Judah, Samaria and in J’Lem, (48′ war of Independence Jews were driven out of E.J’lem) wanting to live as Jews, is considered “Judaization” of these ancient Jewish areas, while mass numbers of Muslims moving into traditional Christian Europe and demanding non-Muslim compliance to Islamic norms…is supposedly not Islamization.

Those of us however, who bring attention to what’s going on, and reject to what’s happening to their civil liberties and rights in the liberal West, are the new ‘bigots’. See how that works folks? Anywhere else Europeans moved to non European countries and imported their unique ideals that stemmed from the enlightenment, it was later deemed as colonialist imperialism and considered evil.

Here the same is happening inside Europe in the 21st century, and it’s called “multiculturalism”, and it’s all good!

Mahmoud Abbas: Jerusalem only has Islamic and Christian history

Mahmoud Abbas: Jerusalem only has Islamic and Christian history, Israel’s “Judaization” is stealing Jerusalem’s “cultural, human, and Islamic-Christian religious history”

Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor: Israel is creating “artificial heritage with a Jewish spirit at the expense of its [Jerusalem’s] true and authentic [identity] as an Arab, Islamic and Christian city”

by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority continue to deny Israel’s 3,000 years of history in Jerusalem, claiming it is solely an Arab, Muslim and Christian city. Earlier this month, Abbas referred to Israel’s presence and activities in Jerusalem as “Judaization” and stated that Israel is stealing what he called the “cultural, human, and Islamic-Christian religious history.”

Last month, Abbas’ advisor for Jerusalem said that Israel is trying:

“to create an artificial heritage with a Jewish spirit at the expense of its true and authentic [identity] as an Arab, Islamic and Christian city.”

This is not the first time that Abbas has denied Jewish history in Jerusalem and claimed the city for Islam alone. Palestinian Media Watch has reported that Mahmoud Abbas said that taking Jerusalem from Israel is a religious Islamic obligation of the highest level, a “fard ayn” – a personal Islamic commandment incumbent on every Muslim:

“I say to the leaders of our Arab nation and to its peoples: Jerusalem and its environs are a trust that Allah entrusted to us. Saving it [Jerusalem] from the settlement monster and the danger of Judaization and [land] confiscation is a personal [Islamic] commandment [Arabic: fard ayn] incumbent on all of us. Therefore, I call all of you to serious and urgent action to save [Jerusalem] and to make available all possibilities in order to strengthen our resolve and to maintain its historical, cultural and religious character.”

Various Islamic orgs. prepare to aid the Muslim, North Sudan in its efforts to destroy Christian, animist and even black-Muslim South Sudan

WND.COM:

120501sudan
A coalition of Islamic jihadist groups are working together to aid the Sudanese government in its military campaign against South Sudan, WND has learned.

In Gaza, Hamas and the al-Qaida-allied Popular Resistance Committees held a rare meeting last week to discuss methods of support for the Sudanese Republic, according to informed Arab officials.

The officials said Jihadiya Salafiya, a Gazan jihad group that works under the ideological banner of al-Qaida, already started recruiting fighters to aid the Sudanese Army.

Jihadiya Salafiya is the military wing of the same Salafist group that just endorsed Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a former leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood, in his run for Egyptian president.

Ayatollah: Kill all Jews, annihilate Israel

(UPDATE: The Daily Mail has an article on this with auxiliary materials here)

  • ayatollah-ali-khamenei

By Reza Kahlili

The Iranian government, through a website proxy, has laid out the legal and religious justification for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of its people.

The doctrine includes wiping out Israeli assets and Jewish people worldwide.

Calling Israel a danger to Islam, the conservative website Alef, with ties to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the opportunity must not be lost to remove “this corrupting material. It is a ‘jurisprudential justification” to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the helm.”

The article, written by Alireza Forghani, a conservative analyst and a strategy specialist in Khamenei’s camp, now is being run on most state-owned conservative sites, including the Revolutionary Guards’ Fars News Agency, showing that the regime endorses this doctrine.

Because Israel is going to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran is justified in launching a pre-emptive, cataclysmic attack against the Jewish state, the doctrine argues.

Palestinian Authority Mufti calls for genocide of Jews quoting Islamic Hadith

Palestinian Authority Mufti calls for genocide of Jews quoting Islamic Hadith

Last week, the principal Palestinian Authority religious leader, the Mufti Muhammad Hussein, presented the killing of Jews by Muslims as a religious Islamic goal. At an event celebrating the 47th anniversary of the founding of Fatah, he cited the Hadith (Islamic tradition attributed to Muhammad) saying that the Hour of Resurrection will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them:

“The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews.
The Jew will hide behind stones or trees.
Then the stones or trees will call:
‘Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'”

20 killed as Nigerian gunmen attack Christian mourners

 Gunmen in Nigeria on Friday opened fire on friends and relatives gathered to mourn the deaths of three Christians killed on Thursday, leaving up to 20 more people dead.

Gunmen in Nigeria on Friday opened fire on friends and relatives gathered to mourn the deaths of three Christians killed on Thursday, leaving up to 20 more people dead.

Nigeria has recently experienced a surge in ethnic and sectarian violence

It was the latest in a series of attacks blamed on radical Islamists who have vowed to wage a religious war on Nigeria’s Christians and drive them from the country’s majority-Muslim north.

Several dozen Christians had come together for a meeting in a town hall in Mubi, in Adamawa state, to mark the deaths the day before of several people killed in the town.

Up to four gunmen surrounded the building and opened fire with Kalashnikov rifles, killing up to 20 people and leaving another 15 badly injured.

“We started hearing many gunshots through the windows,” said Okey Raymond, 48, who was at the meeting.

“Everyone scampered for safety, but the gunmen chanted: ‘God is great God is great’ while shooting at us.” Continue Reading →

Michael Coren discusses the Holimodor

This is good and I am especially glad that it is being discussed more openly. Those university students that rave on about communism never seem to know about this and won’t listen if you tell them. Great to see this critical bit of history getting out there.

THere are a few really fantastic movies about this event, one I am familiar with is called, ‘The Soviet Story’ and is worth every second spent watching.

Meanwhile:

The articulators of knowledge in the West have completely undermined reality

Raymond Ibrahim’s testimony to the US House of Representatives Human Rights Committee; on Shariah, Dhimmitude & the Copts; is a moving and eloquent absolute must watch.

In fifteen short minutes Mr Ibrahim amply demonstrates how the contemporary persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt is a direct mirror of identical suffering meted out to his people for the fourteen previous centuries, using historical sources to back up his case.

This is no “accidental aberration” he conclusively proves, by pointing to the Quranic injunctions – the literal commands of god – that instruct Muslims to behave in the ways that lead to the inevitable suffering of any non-Muslim who falls under the reach of Islam’s power.

He also delves persuasively and depressingly into the historical events, and current dangerously misguided modes of thought (from history classes to the media), which have conspired to erect the “intellectual hurdles” that make unintelligible to a contemporary audience…

“…something that is fourteen hundred years old and is so obvious to anyone who has studied it or looked at it.

President Obama, please, “Stop Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood…”

“…the founders of Hamas and al-Qaeda are not moderate.”

As a Coptic Christian Egyptian female I can’t even begin to imagine the life that the political activist Cynthia Farahat has led, let alone the deep terror which must be filling her heart at the prospect of the future awaiting her and her people.

There will be the childhood and young life marred and marked by oppression, fear and persecution; the religious, academic and political exclusion; and the constant threat of violence, abduction, robbery and rape. With the months and years ahead promising nothing more than worse, much worse, to come.

Here is a short excerpt of her testimony to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in the US House of Representatives.

Todays riots in Tunis. Oct 14 2011

One of Vlad’s Dutch contacts has been kind enough to struggle with English to try and impress on me, how serious todays riots in Tunisia are. I posted down below on the initial cause of the riots. The broadcast of a movie which has things that are objectionable to religious Muslims. This has become the dog-bites-man of counter jihad news of course.

This however, he has explained to me, is an order of magnitude more serious than just this. I will post the Dutch news report below but it is not subtitled, however the Arabic parts are titled in Dutch. If any bilingual Dutch people reading this would like to work with me to translate this video for subtitles please paste the translation in the comments with times before each sentence more or less so I can plug it in to the video.

Below, is a screen cap from the riot scene with a translation of what he is saying:

“we kill all the Jews. We massacre the entire race”

We kill all the Jews, we massacre the entire race

So how did being upset at an Iranian expat’s animated autobiographical movie become about genocide of the Jews? My guess is because they are Muslims and genocide of the Jewish people is, certainly at this time as well as in antiquity, a dominant note in the Islamic triad.
