(Newswire.net — September 16, 2014) — Kerry suggested that the public and the media have spent too much time trying to define the U.S. military operation against the Islamic State, a terrorist group in Syria sometimes known as ISIS or ISIL. The main detail people should be focused on, said Kerry, is that President Barack Obama is not going to send combat troops to fight the militant organization.
However, there are disturbing intelligence on world-wide cases of alarming positions of Christians in Islamic states. In one touching blog post, one Christian Lebanese is calling mainstream media to finally run this headline “War on Christians Being Waged by Islamists.”
The media haven’t ignored the stories of Muslim violence against Christians altogether, to be fair. But they do treat the incidents as tragic isolated events perpetrated by a few extremists, often misinforming while stumbling over history facts.
The opening heading states, “During the Crusades, East and West first met.” but this is an error.
East and West had been fighting for at least 1,500 years before the first Crusade.
To give just a few examples — the Persians invaded Europe in an attempt to conquer the Greeks in the fifth century B.C. The Greek, Alexander the Great, attempted to conquer all of Asia, as far as India, in the fourth century B.C. Both the Persians of the east and the Greeks of the west set up colonial empires founded upon bloody military conquest. The Romans established by bloody military conquest colonies in Mesopotamia, northwestern Arabia, and Assyria in the second century A.D.
Consider the Ottoman invasion of Christian Eastern Europe in which the Ottoman Empire invaded the west and conquered and colonized Greece, all of the Balkans, Romania, Bessarabia, and Hungary, and was stopped only at the outskirts of Vienna in 1529. Consider also the Muhgal conquest of Northern India in the early 1600s.
But what about modern history? Basically,
1. Muslim Turkey has expelled approximately 1,500,000 Greeks from its empire in the east and replaced them with Turks. They have massacred approximately 2 million Armenians and replaced them with Turks in the west.
2. Muslim Turkey has invaded and occupied northern Cyprus, displacing the Greeks living there.
3. Muslim northern Sudan has conquered much of southern Sudan, literally enslaving its Christian and pagan population.
4. Indonesian imperialism has occupied all of non-Islamic western New Guinea and incorporated into Indonesia.
5. Muslim Indonesia has invaded and conquered Christian East Timor with horrible loss of life.
6. This very day, Muslim Indonesia is attempting to destroy Christianity in what used to be called the Celebes.
7. A half-dozen Arab countries have fought two to four wars (depending how you count) in an attempt to destroy Israel and occupy its territory, and is currently continuing the attempt this very day with the publicly voted consent of 55 of the world’s 57 Islamic nations.
8. For no good reason, Muslim Libya has blown up western aircraft, killing many civilians.
9. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist act of aggression, invaded Muslim Iran with a resulting (some estimates say) death of 2 million people.
10. Muslim Albanians in Serbian republic Kosovo which gain it’s idependency thanks to the western countries (mainly US) ethnically cleansed more than 250.000 Serbs, Orthodox Christians who lived there for centuries, destroying cultural monuments of medieval Christianity and turning churches into a public toilets.
11. Muslim Albania, this very minute, is attempting to enlarge its borders at Christian Macedonia’s expense.
12. Muslim Northern Nigeria has been (and is currently) an aggressor against the Christian south.
13. Muslims expelled approximately 800,000 Jews from their homelands between 1947 and 1955.
14. During Jordan’s occupation of the West Bank, the kingdom undertook an unsuccessful attempt to make Jerusalem a Muslim city by forcing out approximately 10,000 Christian inhabitants.
So, it has been going on for thousands of years, it is happening wright now, and it is far from over.
