BEFORE IT BECOMES HATE SPEECH, A WORD OR TWO ON ISLAM

Today Facebook took it upon themselves to delete Friday's post, 'The Nazis and Commies had hate speech laws too'. 

It offended Facebook, you see, and what got Fb algorithms' knickers in a twist was probably the 'Woke Sheep Explained' cartoon lampooning Muslims (and Republicans).

So with Prime Minister Sinister Ardern intent on criminalising such hateful humour, and getting all upset about upsetting Christchurch Muslims with a movie - perhaps because, amazingly, 60,000 'smiling zombies' signed a petition against it, and quite right too - these reports today on Muslim atrocities worldwide need to get out there asap.

Please take note that Jorge Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, who has press conferences every other day, has plenty to say about 'rigid' (aka faithful) Catholics, but absolutely NOTHING about the slaughter of Catholics and Christians by Muslims.  

Bear in mind too that today, June 29, the Solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul, is the Day of Christian Martyrs.

Two comments on the Muslim mayhem read as below: 

"In Canada the covid "pandemic" has given the government in all provinces the opportunity to close down churches who chose to obey God rather than Caesar. Those pastors have been arrested and jailed, after the RCMP humiliated and in some cases brutalized them in front of their children. In some cases police helicopters were used to attempt to flush out churches who had gone "underground" by continuing their Sunday worship in the woods.

Sadly a Muslim family out for an evening walk recently, was deliberately mowed down by a young man, killing four of five family members. I am not criticizing the national outrage and vigils held, with even Justin Trudeau in attendance, but rather pointing out the double standard when a Muslim commits a similar crime on ordinary Canadians, as has happened, the Muslim is excused on the grounds of "mental illness".
I wonder if the young man's anger or hatred towards Muslims was fuelled by Trudeau's frequent preferential treatment of them in Canada? We who don't fawn over Islam are now officially regarded as "Islamophobes."

"Across the Middle East, there has been an ethnic cleansing of virtually all the smaller groups which used to make the region such a rich tapestry of cultures.

Afghanistan lost its last remaining Jew recently. There are barely any left outside Israel, as they were expelled - without compensation or right of return - from Arab countries, & those few are old and afraid. The Yezidis were massacred, raped, enslaved, and their culture will not recover, With the exception of the beleaguered Copts, & a small but growing population in Israel, Christians are now in danger of extinction in the region where they've lived for 2000 years, and from which the religion emerged.

The Kurds are repressed and killed in Turkey, their leader and their MPs imprisoned or murdered. The Turks are bombing Kurds in Iraq, and in Syria, crushing them under tanks and letting loose jihadis to rape and massacre. The Women's Village, built by women for women to rest and recover from the traumas of war, has been destroyed. That Sunnia and Shi'a detested each other used to be some protection for minorities, but now, thanks to Qassem Suleimani, Hamas & Hezbollah are allies.

In the UK, the national curriculum has been challenged and modified as a concession to the homophobia of Islam. At Batley Grammar, the 3 Religious Studies teachers are in hiding and the headmaster read a grovelling apology for their offence, dictated by the mob outside the school.

Gay men were murdered in a park for their transgression of Islamic rules. And all the government, the trade unions, and the local authorities ever do is offer constant appeasement. The former MP for Batley, now the West Yorkshire mayor, supported the mob, not the teacher who had to flee because his home address was posted on the Net. The Scottish Justice Minister, Humza Yusaf, recently almost succeeded in making criticism of Islam illegal, even inside private homes. He will try again. For the frogs, the water is coming close to boiling.

Exactly. Just the point made on this blog last night in 'The Jab, the Deaths, the Deals, the Hate Speech, the Cure'  https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2021/06/the-jab-deaths-deals-hate-speech-cure.html

Just a friendly warning: this is not an easy read. Not a joy ride. But for us insular, 'smiling zombies', in this year of Our Lord 1984, it's required reading.

 

"The boy eventually met up with his mother, and they went searching for Pastor Thomas. According to the wife, "As we continued doing the search, we found my husband in a pool of blood, beheaded and his tongue removed." His tongue was likely cut out as punishment for "speaking against Islam."

  Bombed out: Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shushi

  
  Although Azerbaijan claims to be repairing the damage it caused the cathedral, subsequent pictures and video footage suggest that they are defacing it more.... In the same area of Shushi where the cathedral is being profaned, Azerbaijan is preparing to build a "victory" mosque.... Finally, Azerbaijan is using gravestones from Armenian Christian cemeteries as building material.

• Muslim men raped a Christian child and molested another. On May 2, Muhammad Awais, "beat, raped, and left for dead" Anum Bibi, an 8-year-old Christian girl, after he caught her trying to retrieve water with her 9-year-old brother. — Pakistan.

• A group of Muslims attacked a Christian family and destroyed their home in an effort to seize their farmstead.  - Bangladesh.

• The Slaughter of Christians

  Uganda: On May 3, hours after Pastor Thomas Chikooma engaged in a public debate about Islam and Christianity, Muslims severed his tongue and beheaded him. 

  Separately, Muslims poisoned and killed a Christian pastor over his land: whether a church or mosque would be built over it. Pastor Oduchu began clearing his parcel of land in preparation of construction. Then, one day, after eating at a hotel owned by a Muslim, "my husband," said his wife Mary, "arrived at home complaining of severe stomach pains, diarrhea and started vomiting. We rushed him to a nearby clinic, and he succumbed to poisoning." After being interrogated by angry residents, the hotel owner confessed that "Muslims had given him poison and instructed him to put it in Pastor Oduchu's food." The pastor is survived by his wife and eight children, ages 2 to 16.

• May 21: Some Muslims shot to death a missionary pastor, Leviticus Makpa, 39, and his three-year-old son, Godsend.

• May 21: Fulani herdsmen killed two Christian men — both of whom left behind young families. 

• The same day, a young Catholic priest's body was found thrown in the bush. Church member Emmanuel Albert wrote "The Rev. Fr. Alphonsus is gone but will never be forgotten. He died because of his Christian faith, and as he has gone to meet his Maker, may eternal rest be granted to his soul. We pray for other priests and good people in captivity that God will bring them back home." 

  May 19: Fulani herdsmen murdered eight Christians and burned down a church.

  Finally, between January and April of this year alone, 1,470 Christians were hacked to death by Muslim Fulani.

  Attacks on Apostates, Blasphemers, and Evangelists

  Pakistan: Another Christian nurse was falsely accused of blasphemy.  Her "crime" was to have shared a video. "here was no religious element in it, but a large group of Muslim nurses and paramedical staff, some armed with clubs and sticks stormed into a hospital auditorium that Christian staff members and patients used as a church. They "desecrated Bibles and threatened their Christian colleagues with blasphemy cases if they failed to raze the church and convert to Islam."

  Such false blasphemy charges are part of a systematic plan to "replace them [Christians] with Muslims. This is the third instance this year in Pakistan of Christian nurses being falsely accused of blasphemy. Earlier:

  "Two Roman Catholic nurses complying with a supervisor's orders to remove stickers at a government hospital are in judicial custody while their families have gone into hiding out of fear of Islamist mobs.

  "On Jan. 28, Tabeeta Gill, a nurse at a Karachi hospital and a gospel singer, was slapped, beaten and locked in a room by a violent mob after a Muslim co-worker baselessly accused her of blaspheming Islam. Police initially cleared her of denigrating Muhammad but later succumbed to pressure of an Islamist mob and charged her with insulting Islam's prophet, punishable by death under Section 295-C. Gill has reportedly fled the country to avoid arrest."

  Uganda: After beheading Kanifa Namulondo's husband some years back, some Muslims burned down her and her children's recently reconstructed home on May 2. 

  In a separate incident, a Muslim motorcyclist intentionally targeted and struck a former Muslim who converted to Christianity and was long known for helping other persecuted converts from Islam.

  Attacks on Churches

  USA: Ali Alaheri, a 29-year-old Muslim man, went on an anti-Christian and anti-Jewish crime spree in Brooklyn, NY, until he was finally arrested and charged with hate crimes. During his rampage he knocked down and destroyed a large crucifix that had stood for eleven years outside of St. Athanasius Church in Bensonhurst, and burned the American flag on the premises. Alaheri also deliberately set fire to a yeshiva and synagogue on 36th Street in Brooklyn. 

  Turkey: In the same village where Christians were earlier persecuted, the Marta Shimoni Church in eastern Turkey was desecrated and vandalized on May 11. A year earlier, the elderly parents of a Chaldean priest were kidnapped. The wife was later found dead; the husband remains missing. According to the report,

  "Marta Shimoni is a cave church built into the mountains, and thus cannot be destroyed in the same way as other churches. Video footage ... shows that the destruction was primarily against the Christian items and relics inside the church. Crosses, pictures of Jesus, and rosaries were strewn across the path leading away from the mountain church's entrance."

  Armenia/Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan continued to abuse the Christian heritage of the ancient Armenian territory of Artsakh, which was recently appropriated by its Muslim neighbor. In October 2020, for example, Azerbaijan shelled and damaged Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shushi. 

  Azerbaijan is seeking to alter the cathedral's appearance: "We have seen many times how Azerbaijan actually treats Armenian cultural values, and it is already clear what is hidden under the 'restoration work.' The goal is to eliminate traces of the Armenian presence." 

  In the same area of Shushi where the cathedral is being profaned, Azerbaijan is preparing to build a "victory" mosque. 

  Finally, Azerbaijan is using gravestones from Armenian Christian cemeteries as building material. During a May 10 interview, Foreign Minister of Artsakh, David Babayan, said,

  "There is evidence showing that the Azerbaijani are demolishing the Hadrut cemetery.... This is another manifestation of cultural genocide and barbarism.

  Indonesia: On May 31, police arrested 11 Islamic militants accused of plotting the bombings of several churches in the Christian-majority Papua province. Among the items confiscated were jihadi literature and bomb-making manuals, chemicals for explosives, and modified air guns capable of firing real bullets.

  General Attacks on Christians

  Pakistan: Muslim men raped a Christian child and molested another. On May 2, Muhammad Awais, "beat, raped, and left for dead" Anum Bibi, an 8-year-old Christian girl, after he caught her trying to retrieve water with her 9-year-old brother. She was later found unconscious in the field and taken to a hospital. 

  Separately in Pakistan,  a Muslim mob  terrorized the eighty Christian families. Eight Christians were seriously injured and 15 Christian households ransacked.

  Bangladesh: A group of Muslims attacked a Christian family and destroyed their home in an effort to seize their farmstead.

  A regional clergyman confirmed that the Christians "have valid property documents," but "those Muslims want to seize their land illegally. It's an injustice."
