Christian Holy War Is Coming Back, And God Wants A Crusade

By Theodore Shoebat

A violent and reckless horde of Muslims are marching toward your neighborhood. When they arrive they will massacre your people, and ruthlessly torture you, very slowly. They will make you watch your wife being raped, and then force her to watch you die, and there is a chance that they will make her drink your blood after your terrifying death. What are you going to do?

This is the question that multitudes of Christians are faced with everyday. Here is a video of an account of an attack that took place just days ago, in which Muslims killed Christians in a school, watch and see the suffering of these saints:

This is why Christian militias have been rising in those parts of the world where the lives of the saints are sought out by the ruthless and sneaky foxes we call Muslims, who connivingly seek out the defenseless.

There is a beautiful story, in which a force of Syrian Christian fighters in the Jdeideh area of Aleppo drove out the Muslims who were there to attack their churches. One Christian said of the victory:

The FSA were hiding in Farhat Square in Jdeideh. The Church committees stormed in and cleansed the area.

How reminiscent is this story, of Christ, armed with a whip, cleansing the Temple of the thieves! and now the saints, armed with their weapons, purge their land of these robbers of men’s souls!

Sadly there are Christians in America, conditioned by comfort, who denounce such glorious feats. These are those who follow the gospel of uselessness, and would probably stand up courageously against anyone who would criticize some celebrity idol pastor like Tim LaHaye, while condemning these poor Christians for fighting back.

Enough of this empty, lifeless, and scandalized Christianity, this heresy that is determined by fashion and convenience! Let us see what truly Christianity is about, and how Holy War is greatly a part of this holy Faith.

John the Baptist told the soldiers who approached him, “Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.” (Luke 3:14) Tell me, if he was opposing military service, why then would he tell them to “be content with your wages”? This can only mean that it was permissible for them to remain as soldiers.

And by “violence,” John is referring to injustices, and thus in a Christian war, the cause must be just, and never for the sake of killing or tyranny. It must be a war in which the saints are fighting against evil men, bent on persecuting and slaughtering the Church in the advancement of an evil ideology.

As St. Maximus of Turin, commenting on these words of John the Baptist, writes:

For it is not a sin to be in military service, but it is a sin to soldier for the sake of plunder (1)

When a young man informed St. Paul that Jewish bandits were determined to kill him, did he say, “I will stay put and let them kill me, since we do not fight against flesh and blood”? No, he had the story reported to the chief captain, who in turn had organized 470 Roman warriors to protect Paul:

And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; 24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. (Acts 23:23-25)

If any one of the Jewish bandits arrived to try to kill Paul, the soldiers protecting him would have not hesitated in slaying the attacker. And Paul would not have had a problem with this.

If St. Paul can use an army to protect himself against persecutors, the Church, then, is justified in using armies to protect itself against any pagan or heretical group which seeks the blood of the saints.

And how can one avoid the militancy of Christianity after reading St. Paul, when he praised the past and illustrious battles of God’s people:

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. (Hebrews 11:32-34)

To subdue the kingdoms of the wicked heathens, wax “valiant in fight,” and turn “to flight the armies of the aliens”, or the persecuting invaders, is not a sin, but a ripe and righteous fruit.

One may argue that Jesus said that we must love and pray for our enemies, to this I pose the argument of St. Cyril, when he was discoursing on such matters against the Muslims:

Christ our God commands us to pray to God for all those who persecute us, and to do good to them, but He has also said to us: “Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends” [John 15:13]. And we therefore submit to the insults that our enemies cast at us individually, and pray to God for them, but as a group we defend one another and lay down our lives for one another, so that you [the Muslims] wouldn’t, by enslaving our brothers, take away their souls along with their bodies and kill them off completely.

You may say, that the Christians who were being persecuted by the pagan Romans never used any militant force, but this is not entirely accurate. When the Christians had no influence upon the government, they did not form any militias, but as soon as they converted the emperor Constantine, this was the starting point when Christians began directing wars. The first Christian war was as early as 312 AD, when Constantine, upholding the sign of the Holy Cross, defeated the pagan tyrant Maxentius.

That Christians, as early as the 4th century, were executing wars against pagans, shows in fact how militaristic the spirit of Christianity truly is.

The same can be said of ancient Israel. When the Hebrews were being persecuted under the Pharaoh, they did not declare any wars. But as soon as they had Moses as their leader, and they completely severed themselves from the Egyptian government, the people of God organized numerous wars against the pagans.

People may argue and say, “But the Bible says ‘Thou shalt not kill,'” and I will argue back and say that Moses slaughtered the worshippers of the golden calf after bringing down the Law which said, “Thou shalt not murder.”

And how can one say that Christianity is not militant, when we read in the Song of Judith, which is in the Septuagint, that “The Lord is a warrior who ends war.” (Judith 16:3) And this was sung after the valiant Judith took the head of the Assyrian general Holofernes.

Read the words of St. Bernard, when he praised and exhorted the valiant Crusaders who were fearlessly warring with the Muslims, and sense the militant spirit of his words:

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and succumb more confidently. When he strikes, he does service to Christ, and to himself when he succumbs. Nor does he bear the sword in vain. He is God’s minister in the punishment of evil doers and the praise of well doers. Surely, if he kills an evil doer, he is not a man-killer, but, if I may put it, an evil-killer. Clearly he is reckoned the avenger of Christ against evildoers, and the defender of Christians. (2)

Christ drove out the thieves from His Father’s Temple with a whip, it is then not evil for Christians to drive out those who wish to steal innocent lives from this earth.

I dream of the day, when every true Christian will cry out, “Dues vult! Dues vult!” (God will it!) determined to pierce the clouds of diabolical darkness with the Light of Christ, in an eternal fray between Holy War and sacrilegious tyranny; between the Bride of Christ and the Whore of Babylon; between the citizens of Heaven and the slaves of the underworld.

Christus vincit!

I ask you, if you truly care of the lives of the saints, to DONATE AND SAVE CHRISTIAN LIVES

      Nicely said…

  • 1Bobby8

    Another great article by Theodore Shoebat to wake up the masses…God bless Theodore.

    • Goten Son

      You know i don’t recall Goku Christ ever teaching anyone to evangelize in his name by the sword? He said blessed are the peacemakers for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

      • 1Bobby8

        I guess Christians could just roll over and be slaughtered until they’re extinct. I wonder who would evangelize in His name if that should happen.

        • Goten Son

          I never said that now did i?

          • 1Bobby8

            What are you saying?

          • Goten Son

            I never said that i do not believe in self defense i stated that nowhere in scripture did Christ promote evangelism by the sword aka crusades. Heck doesn’t the very term crusade remind you of the barbaric medieval church that killed thousands of people for no reason whatsoever including true born again bible believers? Lastly don’t put down peacemakers because Christ Goku himself said they shall inherit the kingdom of God.

          • 1Bobby8

            They didn’t kill thousands of people for no reason, they were counter crusades against the advancements of Islam. If it wasn’t for those crusades you would be on a prayer rug bowing to mecca…There’s a time for war and there’s a time for peace…Learn your history.

          • Jim

            ABSOLUTELY. THE Crusades were a RE-ACTION to muslim invasion and denying Christians entry to HOLY places in Israel.
            NAME one place in the WHOLE world in the last 1000 years that ISLAM has EVER lived in peace with anyone. THEY don’t.

      • Jim

        Blessed are the peacemakers, but not the people who lay down and let themselves be slaughtered, their daughters raped and forced to marry muslims, and their young sons beheaded.
        JESUS CHRIST said “TURN THE OTHER CHEEK” not as in “DON’T FIGHT BACK.” IN Christ time, that was a big middle finger. ALSO Jesus did fight back and encouraged people to fight back, not to roll over and take it.

  • ssmith

    That’s a bit heavy !
    The crusades are a difficult subject. But as far as the Knights from UK are concerned, they lived by their rules : love God first, defend and help the widows, poor and weak, respect women, never betray etc etc. why they were called ” Noble men ”
    The first Crusade was launched after the Byzantine Emperor begged the Pope for help. Muslims attacked them for centuries. This was 400 years after Jihad started. I think in 1062.
    What would have happened hd they not been ? History would have changed.
    How could women be defended from the raping slaughtering Muslim hordes otherwise.
    Do we look the other way. ? We fought the Nazi’s too.started a ” Crusade” of many Nations against them.
    On the other hand there is Jesus saying ” he who kills with the sword will die by the sword.
    Does this include defensive wars, maybe not.

    • Christian Groenheide

      This includes muslims who fight innocent people by the sword, who in turn will take up arms to defend themselves and kill this predatorial “BEAST”. Get the picture?? he who preys on others will be killed.

    • 4True

      Jesus never even ordered Roman soldiers to stop fighting- we need to stop letting other people tell us how to interpret Scripture and ask God.

      • H2o2Bill

        Could you please explain this more to us? And site the Scripture you have in mind concerning your post?

      • Goten Son

        Actually Christ specifically told them to do violence to no man and I would say that most certainly rules out a crusade don’t you think? By the way you probably have no idea how many innocent people were murdered during the inquisition that was carried out by the medieval church.

        • ssmith

          How many ? Research. The archives are in the Vatican.
          More came to trial than were actually tortured or murdered. Up to nine thousand murdered. Terrible but Less in 400 years than the amount of ” witches” the Germans ( a non-inquisition land ) murdered. Inquisition did not even operate in many countries.Few seem to know this !
          Most cases of witchcraft they actually threw out. i used to believe the disinformation until I really looked into it.
          Inquisition was a rule of law. At the time ” heresy” was a crime
          ( almost as bad as apostasy is in islam always has been )
          And they had to be sure so therefore trials.
          Even Calvin although he was as careful as possible,could walk freely with the inquistion around obviously, why did he not “escape” few seem to ask this ?

    • Jim

      I really hate it when people who defend islam bring up THE CRUSADES. As if Christians just came into peaceful muslim lands and started a war. THOSE people ALWAYS leave out WHY we went there. AND of course, they act like we’re crazy when we mention that muslims were invading Christian lands. THE whole of NORTHERN AFRICA, Syria, Lebanon was Christian. AND we didn’t convert by the sword. WE proselytized. Yet the WHOLE of the arab muslim world is littered with mosques that used to be churches/synagogues.
      I remember listening to arab muslim radio. They were talking about ‘muslim lands that were stolen from them in Spain.’ NO mention that they INVADED. NOPE, just that it was THEIR land, and those bad Christians took it from them.
      I HOPE, we start another CRUSADE. I’d join up for that. I’d show mercy, but I’d also show justice.

    I’m sure you can find a sandbox somewhere to plant your head in. Now, back to your Lazy Boy and remote.

  • darkknight91

    Great article, Ted. American Christians need to wake up and realize the freedom we have to assemble and worship is the exception in the world, and not the rule.

  • margstar

    This is a subject I’ve been struggling with. My denomination is very pacifist and evangelical. While we should always be ready to defend our faith, I believe we have an obligation to defend our families, neighbors, communities,states and country. If my family members were being threatened I would not think twice in taking up arms to defend them and not feel guilt. 1Corinthians 13:17 says …(love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes..

    In the end the most important action we can take is to keep shining the light of truth and pray that others will come out of the darkness. I thank God for Walid and Theodore Shoebat!

  • ServantOfMessiah

    Mr. Goober, if you want to make a point, make it clearly, citing something that the author did or wrote that was incorrect. Don’t just blast off and say whatever you want because you might be seen to be fighting against God.

    Mr. Shoebat has a right to say what he wants to say. And what “attitude” prey tell are you talking about? Be a righteous man and judge with righteous judgment. People are being killed left right and center, and Mr. Shoebat is trying to alert people to the fact that we have an obligation to defend ourselves. We are not to “lay low” and allow ourselves to be slaughtered. In this, Mr. Shoebat is entirely correct.

    Would you let your children be slaughtered if you had the chance to defend them? No, sir, you would not. You would be a very foolish father in that case.

    And I sincerely hope you are not arguing against defending those who are being slaughtered. For that would make you extremely foolish, indeed.

    “Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
    And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
    If you say, ‘See, we did not know this,’
    Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
    And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
    And will He not render to man according to his work?” (Proverbs 24:11-12)

    Keep writing, Mr. Shoebat.

    • Goten Son

      As a born again Gokuist i strongly believe in the right of self defense and i would consider any man a coward who refuses to defend his family from anyone who is trying to cause harm to them. But Ted isn’t promoting self defense he is trying to get a medieval style crusade going and if that happens it would be very bad for everyone. Remember the inquisition killed millions of innocent people and Ted in his arrogance wants to revive it once again. Son Goku said blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth and blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the kingdom of God. You see Christ never taught his disciples to take up arms and go after people who disagree with the disciples doctrine. So where on earth is Ted getting his crusade nonsense from because it most certainly is not from the Lord.

  • metheoldsarge

    Haven’t seen any of this in any of the MSM. People in this country are too complacent and think it will never happen in this country. You would think 911 would have been more of a wake-up call but it wasn’t.

      Back to the KOOL-AID.. AmeriKan’s have SHORT TERM MEMORIES !!!

      • Jim

        Not only short term memories, but they hear campaign slogans and wait for the new Playstation game system to come out. All the while believing the Constitution says “NO CHURCH AND STATE” while ignoring the 2nd amendment.
        Americans need to wake up and understand that Islam is coming. They may have ‘peaceful’ muslims here now, but when they get enough people, they’ll start DEMANDING special rights, and then FIGHTING for a separate homeland here in America. Maybe not in OUR lifetime, but maybe our Grandchildren’s.
        ANYONE who doesn’t think so, read up on how ISLAM spread throughout the middle east. It wasn’t evangelism, it was CONVERT OR DIE. ANY that didn’t convert and weren’t killed, had to pay a djimmi tax. FOR THE “Pleasure” of living in a muslim country.
        Look at Egypt, Syria, Israel. Christians are treated poorly if not outright killed. YET Islam means “peace”??? Name one Christian church that was created out of a Mosque. Don’t exist. BUT name Christian churches that have been converted to Mosques, or Jewish Temples. IT is LEGION.

          • Jim

            ANY Muslim country I’ve been to, they treat ALL NON-MUSLIMS like crap. Christians are 3rd rate citizens. Many times THEY can be converted by marriage, or force, sometimes BOTH. Christian daughters are kidnapped, then raped. To escape “muslim justice” the woman who ‘just committed adultery’ must now marry her rapist to avoid punishment.
            Let’s see if we could do that in reverse and see what happened. I’d be Barry Hussain would be all over “those evil Christians abusing those poor muslims”.
            I agree with you Shirley, I’m betting in 30, 40 years, that all those Muslims in Dearborn Michigan, start a Jihad to declare Minnesota into a new muslim homeland.

    ISLAM WAS CREATED BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH…
    ISLAM WAS CREATED IN 652 !!!!
    WHAT’S ”HOLY” ABOUT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ?????????

  • weatherman51

    Then He (Jesus) said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no SWORD, let him sell his garment and BUY ONE. For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.” So they said, “Lord, look, here are two SWORDS.”

    And He said to them, “It is enough.” (Luke 22:36-38)

    Obviously, these “swords” were for SELF…DEFENSE of the Apostles and an example of EVERY Christian’s God-ordained duty: “Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!”
    USMC ’69-’73
    MARANATHA!

  • H2o2Bill

    A question for Theodore are you a practicing Roman Catholic?

  • H2o2Bill

    Theodore please prove your case from the New Testament and please stop taking verses out of context. Hebrews 11 is known as the “Hall of faith” with “faith” being the key word within the chapter and again you only post a small section of the passage in a attempt to make the Bible back up your case instead of letting the Bible make it’s case known to you.

    The word “faith” is used 25 times within the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews.

    Let’s look at three verses preceding the text you cited,

    (Hebrews 11:29-31) By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, as she had received the spies with peace.

    Now lets look at what you posted and what I have posted together and see if it still can be used to back up your Christian jihad excuse me crusade.

    Heb 11:29-34 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace. And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

    Lets look at some more verses from the same chapter of Hebrews,

    (Heb 11:35-40) Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground. And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

    So before you jump on this Christian jihad sorry crusade bus that Theodore has been driving you might want to read the eleventh chapter of Hebrews for yourself. Yes once again Theodore is not in the same ballpark as the writer he is quoting in this case the book of Hebrews. And again Theodore is not even in the same city that the ballpark is located in.

    Heb 11:1-40 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (2) For by it the men of old gained approval. (3) By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. (4) By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. (5) By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. (6) And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. (7) By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. (8) By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. (9) By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; (10) for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. (11) By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. (12) Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE. (13) All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. (14) For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. (15) And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. (16) But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them. (17) By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; (18) it was he to whom it was said, “IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED.” (19) He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type. (20) By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come. (21) By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. (22) By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones. (23) By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. (24) By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, (25) choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, (26) considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. (27) By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. (28) By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. (29) By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. (30) By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. (31) By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace. (32) And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, (33) who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, (34) quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. (35) Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; (36) and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. (37) They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated (38) (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground. (39) And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, (40) because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

    The Bible is the sword for the Church it’s the sword of the New Testament. Does not Walid teach these things himself?

    No where in the New Testament will you see a Crusade taught or a “Christian Holy War” that Christians are to carry out. Self Defense is one thing including war for preservation yet the Christian is not taught anywhere to kill in the name of Christ or God.

    Quoting Catholics? A Catholic Church that slaughtered Christians. You want us to be like a Religious institution that killed Christians in the name of God.

    You are exposing yourself as a fraud Theodore, maybe you could read the gospel of John then meditate upon the words of Christ and let this crusade thing go for a bit?

    I will continue to pray for you.

    At your service,

  • 4True

    Thank you for writing clearly about this. I’m in shock the disgusting BBC even noted this although they would be first to condemn Christians fighting back, as they do to the Jews., May God arise for the innocent and the helpless and avenge their blood. Meanwhile I wish we could send weapons but Obama is giving them to their killers. Lord stop him please. God will not rest forever

  • 4True

    May no one remember you or come to your aid when you need it if you don’t repent of your attitude. The Lord tells us the blood is on our heads if we do nothing to stop the slaughter of innocents while we can. Or is this interfering with a soap opera or some other ‘important’ thing in your life?

  • 4True

    Jesus never told soldiers to quit the army, even after they were saved, When he told us to honor “Cesar” he was smart enough to know we’d have a representative form of government someday. Honoring “Ceasar” includes running for office in this age and being a light to the world. Stop reading things in to rationalize your own sloth and apathy. I’ve seen this happening all over the Church for decades and it’s disgusting.

  • LindaRivera

    You say: ” Legitimate government defends the innocent.”

    Absolutely! A government that refuses to defend its own people is not a legitimate government!

      Neither Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia defend violence against Christians.
      When I served in Iraq, we had ‘3rd country nationals’, (workers from countries other than Iraq/Kuwait/Saudi Arabia.) who came onto our bases. I noticed one time there was a group that treated one of their own VERY POORLY. Slapping/pushing/screaming at him. I pulled him aside and found out he was a Egyptian Coptic Christian. I had a Tea with him, talked a bit (it was hard as my Arabic was poor as was his English). In the end, I gave him my copy of the New Testament and a Rosary. He very nearly cried and thanked me. I told him it was a bit different than his version of Christianity, but he didn’t care. It was an act of Kindness. Later, he came by and gave me a bit of ash pasted onto a piece of paper with a picture of one of his saints. Apparently, the ash is from a Church that was destroyed in Egypt that is now a Mosque.
      I never saw him again, as we Soldiers moved from base to base. But I hope he is well.

        May God protect Christians in Muslim countries!

    Are you putting words in Gods mouth by saying he wants a crusade which by the way is the western equivalent of a jihad? Both terms refer to holy war and i don’t recall Christ ever teaching anything about evangelizing by the sword? Not to mention the mad scientists like Dr Gero for instance want to create a clash between civilizations in order to get the worlds population down below 500 million and once that is accomplished they will release the terminator androids to deal with the rest of us.

    When Muslims attack and kill innocents, the liberal politicians in America urge “caution” and “deplore violence,” and “restraint”.
    HOWEVER, when the CHRISTIANS FIGHT BACK, they not only condemn, but actually take action against Christians. (SEE REFERENCE), 1. Bill Clinton supports Muslims in Bosnia over Christian Serbs. 2. Obama support for “rebels” (also known as Al-Qaeda) who are cleansing Christians from the middle east. WHY? Because any place muslims take a crap, they think they own. I foresee a future where Muslims in Dearborn Michigan rise up and try to create a “MUSLIM HOLY LAND”, much as they did in Spain with Cordoba.

    WHEN are we CHRISTIANS in the WEST going to send money, weapons, support Christians? It seems all we do is worry about the next Playstation, not about fellow Christians being slaughtered.

    I can’t believe people are giving this fraud a chance to brain wash them..

    If what you say is true shoebat, then you are a terrorist and should be locked away.. No conversion to any religion should wash away your sins or do you like all Christians believe since you’ve accepted Jesus that your sins are forgivable and that you are free to do as you please, including defrauding old Christians into your scare mongering?

    CNN exposed you and anyone that believes anything you say should be ashamed of themselves.

    In a previous comment you wrote:

    “I’m an oldie, but a goodie. I’ll admit it was a revelation to learn gays are born with their sexuality, that it was not a choice. ”

    Your not a “goodie” but an evil “oldie”, go and play a different game, homosexuality is not something people are born with and you will not find any society before the 19th century had a gay minority or even discernibly gay-oriented individuals. That plus you have no guardian angel, don’t fool yourself, your a wretch and Jesus clearly destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
