Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
Lady Warsi, a Muslim who is Great Britain’s Faith and Communities Minister, told the BBC that Christianity in large parts of the Middle East and in a majority of Islamic nations is on the brink of extinction.
I’m concerned that the birthplace of Christianity, the parts of the world where Christianity first spread, is now seeing large sections of the Christian community leaving, and those that are remaining feeling persecuted,” Lady Warsi told the BBC Radio 4 Today program. “One in 10 Christians live in a minority situation and large numbers of those who live in a minority situation around the world are persecuted.”
She said that as Islamic extremist groups gain influence, they are able to convince the local population that Christians are “newcomers” to the area that should be driven out when in many cases the Christians were living in the area before the arrival of the Islamists. She also said that Christians are being made the scapegoat for problems in the Middle East created by Islamists.
She also said that violence against Christians in Pakistan is threatening to drive all Christians from that nation.
She said that violence against Christians worldwide should not just reverberate in the Christian community but in all communities.
If more Americans could see this they might change their opinion about their Muslim neighbors and the religion they stand for. I created a bumper sticker that says “Nice Muslims are the Trojan Horse of Islam”, because nice Muslims create complacency about the real threat we face from radical Islam inside America. As she says when Christians are the minority, persecution breaks out. We’re seeing the devil do that here. Christians forbidden to proselytize inside the military, the removal of the Ten Commandments from public property and other adverse rulings by the courts. Persecution by the IRS and other agencies. Creation science banned. And still many Christians like ostriches want to keep their heads in the sand; keep the elevator music going and not face reality. What kind of America are their children going to have to inherit?
