Christians getting bullied, killed, destroyed around the world

Well... the terrorists do call it a war of religion... because that is what it is for them. Christians and Islam are neck and neck with one billion followers each. Lets not forget that the Catholics did their share of massacring in past history... all in the name of Jesus. They murdered millions of Jews, Protestants and Muslims... for the simple reason that those people refused to convert to Catholism. Just read about French and Europeen history. It is in the history books. Or you probably can find it in your encyclopedia. Just put the CD in your PC. Like I said in another post... we are having a funny war where you are not allowed to say anything bad about Muslims. We are only allowed to talk about terrorists. But we cannot find those because they hide under the houses of good Muslims. And the good Muslims cannot report them without the bad Muslims killing them. It all works perfectly well for the Muslims. They are playing us like a violin. There is a simple way not to have a war of religion. Simply don't have any religion. The simple fact that one side believe that their religion is better than the other one prove the fact that religion is a farce. If God had wanted a religion... there would be only one religion. It would be called "God religion".

Actually, I've heard about the persecution of Christians since I was just becoming a teenager. I am very shocked to have recently heard about persecutions of Muslims. Of course, I haven't heard about any Christian persecutions on the news, as opposed to that of Muslims, but I still know that it happens. There's a book that I think you'll really like. It's called "Jesus Freaks" by DC Talk and Voice of the Martyrs. You should really check it out; it's got stories of persecuted Christians from the first martyr (Stephen; in Acts) up to the Columbine High School shootings. I think you'll really enjoy it, and it gives you a certain appreciation for the religious freedom you have as an American.

Christians are bullied, but they are not they only ones. Personally, I do not like any religion, Christianity included. I am Agnostic and I do not like religion because is it full of hypocrisy. None of it lives up to any of it's own hype. Why should I follow a people or follow a religion that has people in it who do not practice what they preach? Why should I be in a religion when I do not believe in any of it? So far, the only theocracy that I like, that is not considered a religion, although to some it might be, is Darwinism, so far it is the only one that makes the most sense and explains everything in words that understand. I can also see Darwinism where-ever I go.

No it is no way to treat a Christian at all. Oh the Muslim world is trying to wipe out Christians but do you believe that they can win in the end I do not think so and all of these Christians know where they are going to go but do the Muslims the ones that are killing innocent Christians know they think they are going to a better place when they do this but I believe that anyone that is killing others will end up in hell!!

The reason Islam is in the news so much is because it is a topic of world interest, especially with the invasion of iraq and troubles in africa. The media isn't the best source of neutral information. The media is also different in what it focuses on in different countries depending what they think is more in the public interest or a view they want to push.What is happening now with Muslims reminds me of Christianity in the middle ages, though pretty much every faith has had things to answer for through their history. I'm not sure why you think america is the only refuge for Christians, all western countries have a dominant Christian population of various denominations. How is the world seeking to destroy itself and how is america doing the opposite? Considering recent events in Iraq/Iran/North korea/China I could see an argument against it. What battle has Christianity won? I would be interested to know on what basis you see a religion as being "sound". Are you well versed in religious history and theology? What makes Christianity unique in this regard?

YOu know, i come from Egypt. And it's about 80% muslims and 20% coptic Christians there. Every year, a bunch of muslim fanatics go and kill some random Copts for no apparent reason. ANd the government defends them. THe last one i heard about is a few muslims took automatic weapons into a church around the time for sunday school and killed a few hundred children in a small village somewhere. It's just sick!

Hmmm. Interesting. Often people forget about things like this are forgotten about when other things are brought to attention. It is bad the racial and religious bullying that goes on between any religion.

i hereby say...kill all muslims...they are the cause of evil on this world...they are terrorists and they are very closeminded...they will kill innocent lives for the sake of their religion...I hate muslims...

Hi, I understand your sentiment but; Christian's expect persecution: Jesus said.... "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world John 16:33" As Christians our mission is to "Know Christ and to get others to know Him". Yes, we have already won the battle but we want as many in the opposition as possible to turn from thier wicked ways and be saved. God loves them therefore; as much as we hate the sin, we must love the sinner. countdown21.com

LOL.....What does Darfur has to do with Christians??? FYI, all residents of the Darfur region are Mulims. The war is between 2 Muslim groups, so Christians are totally out of this conflict. As for Somalia, what Christians you are talking about? The conflict was clearly between the Muslim government and the so called "Muslim courts" extremists. Again, Christianity was not an issue here. Your ignorance shows. America seeks to do the opposite??? Now, what about the brave american soldiers that raped and killed a 6 year old Iraqi girl? I bet they were Christians. Oh wait...they weren't following the teachings of Jesus, so they are not Christians, right? WRONG. Based on your stupid logic, they are just as Christian as you. Also, thank you for showing me that america's war on Iraq was motivated by religion. Hitler's massacres were also motivated by your peaceful religion. But you are too ignorant to know.

I think we should ban religion around the world then all this unecessary killing would stop and people would have to look at each peroson on their own merit rather than judge them according to their own religion.

I KNOW what you mean. I recently heard at church they said that Christians get killed more often then ANY OTHER RELIGION! But who would believe that right? Cause they DONT hear about it? You know why? The news isnt interested in stating facts about christians. And numbers are climbing. I dont have any like statistics for you but I heard over the most recent years it has been going up.

I am a person who believes in God and the bible but I no longer refer myself as a christian.I'm really fed up with the state of christianity.I was always taught that being a christian involved compassion,understanding,humility,and acceptance,but all I've seen from christians is hate,spitefullness,and bigotry,and christian superiority. What is happening to christians around the world has been brought upon by their own actions.You can not keep forcing people to live the lifestyle you want them to.forcing christian beliefs down there throat and think they are going to openly accept it. I highly doubt that christians have the won the battle.From what I heard on the news,christianity is declining.Look what's going in this country.It's a cess pool!people get turned on by watching people get verbally/physically abused on tv,there is no such thing as faithfullness in a relationship anymore,there's a huge rise of babies being born who don'tknow who their fathers are,rape/child molestation is on the rise,etc.People don't need to be looking at America for christian guidance cause they're looking at the wrong place.Just going to church doesn'tmake a person a christian.living the lifestyle does and the people in this country are certainly not living the christian lifestyle.Maybe if Christians got off their superior,moral high horse,this so called persecution would lessen a bit.

Basically all religions are preaching peace and tolerance. All religions are showing the way to heaven. Some extremist thinking that their religion is above all and doing harm to mankind. After all everybody is going to die one day. Understanding this and show mercy to fellow human being.

Persecution of the church will be with us until the Kingdom comes. Remember what Jesus said - that others will hate and persecute us because of him, and that we were blessed.

This is very very new to me.. Oo' Oh my dear God. thanks for that information, it is so valueable for me.

Christians never done anything wrong. I am not blaming on Muslim as well because I respect their religion as well. What I don't agree is that some extreme Muslim view Christians as their biggest threat. I heard they are killing, torturing Christians and they even burned the Churches. I am sad to see they are doing it without even realizing the value. We are all humans, does not matter what religion we are. I believe each religions have prohibit them for killing others. Anyway, Christian still won the battle despite being bullied and destroyed. May God show His mercy on everyone.

Every religion sucks and only idiots kill or convert people to religion. The Christian religion is not better than Muslim, some Christian priests rapes boys and girls in America too. I am happy that I have taken the decision to take out every religion out of my life. If there is a higher power, it is NOT like anything us humans can imagine.

The bottom line is that the course of the religion depends on their belivers. The christianity is a relativelly peacefull religion, though its intoduction wasn't. The muslim religion by its means should be peacefull aswell, but because of its radical belivers, some of them anyway, the religion suffers prosecution and so many cassulties. And the weird thing is that there sholud be no connection between religion and the politics, yet there is. Everything that goes on in the muslim end of the world is because of the political reasons, backed up by the religion. I think that any kind of religion should exist because of the soothing effect it has on the people in need of an alternate consolidation, than talking to some human. No religion should be used to kill people and I don't think any religion says kill, kill, kill.

Hello, I am moslems. I love in peace, but theres some timewhere you have to depend yourself, your beloved one and your country from people who try to take them from you. I cant blame if ant christian killed in conflict area if they had involved in those conflicts. everyone can get killed in wars. But let me told you something, in Islam, war is avoided if there is any chance to get peace. War is the last choice and only for depending yourself, your community and your country from those who attacked. War should been done as quickly as possible to avoid long suffer among innocent people. In wars, moslem must: 1. not kill ladies, kids or elder people or refugee in church 2. not harm innocent people and wipe out only those who support wars 3. not make any destruction on enemys farmland (food source) 4. not kill animals or trees 5. not destroy any buildings Thats war the principle moslem must obey. Islam has complete way of life. We arent people who give up if someone attack you unlike other religion whos not allowed to protect themselves. We depend our self if being attacked, but we arent depend with brulatily and "pre emtive attack'. Please dont blame moslem if they depend their self. We are like a bee. If we stay on branch of tree we will not brake it but if someone attack us we have to fight to depend ourself, and chase the attacker wherever they go until they say sorry or something to make peace. The world are much more beautiful if many religion could learn to accpet moslem ways as it is and stand together to ride out poverty and spread the wealthy live. Its better then looking for moslem as an potential enemy.
