Think about it ... Christians killed for their beliefs ... murdered in the streets ... arrested in their own homes for praying!
And the Obama administration is just turning the other way, preferring instead to "make nice" with the fundamentalist groups responsible!
The violence is especially bad in Egypt. After President Hosni Mubarak was removed from power, the anti-Christian forces became more bold. On October 9, at least 24 Christians were killed and hundreds more injured when the Egyptian army deliberately drove military vehicles through the crowd of demonstrators.
The United States of America PAID for those vehicles to slaughter Christians ...because Egypt receives over $2 billion every year from YOU, the U.S. taxpayer.
Why is the United States sending money to countries that allow religious persecution? Congress needs to protect Christians around the world. Please contact Congress right now and tell them to STOP sending money to countries that murder Christians!
Conservative Action Alerts notified you previously that the Obama administration held secret meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, and encouraged the uprising in Egypt. Since that country fell into instability, Christians have been targeted by the violent Salafis, who are even MORE radical than the Muslim Brotherhood, and they are determined to wipe out all religions other than Islam.
But, ask yourself, WHY? Why would our President want to reach out to the violent Muslim Brotherhood? He claims he is for "peace," but there is NO PEACE for the embattled Christians in those countries! The State Department will not stop aid, and Congress continues to let this go on. This must stop! Contact Congress right now!
Our First Amendment guarantees us the right to free exercise of religion, but others around the world are not so lucky.
The Muslim Brotherhood is gaining power in the "Arab Spring," and Christians are under severe attack by the MB and another radical group called the Salafis.
Daniel Pipes, a Middle East scholar, predicts:
"At the present rate, the Middle East's 12 million Christians will likely drop to 6 million in the year 2020. With time, Christians will effectively disappear from the region as a cultural and political force."
Send a Fax to every Member of Congress right now and tell them to stop sanctioning religious persecution across the globe!
In EGYPT- The Egyptian Federation of Human Rights reports that by the end of this year, as many as 250,000 Christians could flee Egypt because of the persecution they are experiencing.
In IRAQ-The Shi'a Islamic faction in Iraq has gained power over the last ten years, and is becoming more and more hostile to Christians. Already, more than half of the Christian population - 400,000 - has left the country. Nina Shea, a member of the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, says, "The goal of the extremists is to drive Christians from Iraq. It is religious cleansing."
In LIBYA- At a rally on October 23rd in Benghazi, Libya's National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil said, "We are an Islamic state." He also added, "As a Muslim country, we have adopted the Islamic Sharia as the main source of law. Accordingly, any law that contradicts Islamic principles with the Islamic Sharia is ineffective legally."
In SYRIA-Many of the hundreds of thousands of Christians who fled Iraq went to Syria; however, if President Bashar Assad's regime is toppled, these embattled Christians will likely face similar struggles and will be driven out of that country, as well.
Why is the United States sending money to countries that allow religious persecution? Congress needs to protect Christians around the world. Every freedom-loving citizen needs to contact Congress right now and tell them to STOP sending money to countries that murder Christians!
YOUR U.S. TAX DOLLARS ARE HELPING FUND THIS PERSECUTION! And, the State Department is doing nothing about it!
| Jihad Watch reports, Egypt...this year alone has seen nearly 80 Christians killed, their many churches burned or bombed, and their daughters kidnapped and forcibly converted...[yet it was not] listed as a "country of particular concern," this despite the fact that the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, an independent, bipartisan federal government commission, had recommended that the State Department designate it so. Neither was Pakistan cited as a "country of particular concern." "[Secretary] Clinton did not designate Pakistan even though the State Department's own report stated that Pakistani law calls for the death penalty for people who commit 'blasphemy' against Islam or who convert from Islam to another religion - and even though the report listed multiple instances of the Pakistani government using the law to persecute Christians." |
The United States cannot continue to send money to countries that have no respect for religious freedom - and, we cannot continue to turn the other way as Christians around the world are killed for their beliefs.
Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), said "It is increasingly difficult for us as Americans to maintain support for a government that is attacking the voices that would help sustain its own democracy, while defending the Islamic extremists who inflame religious intolerance," Franks said.
Tell Congress to ACT NOW and cut funding to countries that persecute Christians. Now is the time to act in the name of religious freedom around the world!
