The lawyer for the Iranian Pastor sentenced to death for being a Christian, has just been sentenced to jail himself

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was sentenced to death in the Islamic Republic of Iran for the crime of apostasy. He could have been released if he did as Iran demanded and converted back to Islam but her refused to recant his faith! Now, Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, the lawyer representing this pastor, has been sentenced to nine years in jail.

Jay Sekulow of ACLJ appeared on Fox News speaking about Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani’s lawyer facing jail in Iran. Mohamad Ali Dadkhah, has been convicted for representing clients in human rights cases. He is the attorney for Pastor Youcef and recently represented 12 Christians in a separate case. Dadkhah previously told the ACLJ that if he himself was placed in jail, “no attorney would be willing” to take Nadarkhani’s case out of fear of “being imprisoned or disbarred” for representing the Christian pastor.

Walid Shoebat’s ‘RESCUE CHRISTIANS’ saves two more Pakistani Christian families this week

You all know Walid Shoebat, former Muslim and ex-PLO terrorist, for his relentless efforts to educate and warn Americans about the threat that Islam poses to the free world. (Check out his bio here: SHOEBAT). After leaving Islam, Walid became a Christian in 1994. Since then, he has created an organization called RescueChristians.org that has saved hundreds of Christians in the Middle East from the persecution, barbaric blasphemy laws, and ethnic cleansing that Christians are subjected to in Muslim majority countries all over the world.

Two weeks ago we rescued one family from a blasphemy case and they now have been relocated within Pakistan, to a safe house.

Today, we rescued a Christian family of seven who have been indentured in slavery for nearly twenty years. Twenty years ago the mother of the family had been diagnosed with cancer and her husband borrowed 50,000 rupees ($600) from Muslim money lenders who were also the employer of the head of the family. The husband used the money to pay for the medical treatment of his wife but based on his circumstance he would never be able to repay the loan.

It is illegal to charge Muslims interest but there seems to be no problem enslaving Christians with debt and indenture. The family of seven earned only 2000 rupees a month which is only $4.00. Out of that salary, 1000 rupees was paid in interest leaving only $2.00 for a whole month. For twenty years the family could not get out of debt on a paltry loan of $600.

A few weeks ago, one of the sons of the family tried to escape and was brutally beaten with a metal pipe; he died a few days later from his injuries. Immediately upon hearing of this case, our organization appointed lawyers and a police escort to free the family. We have now put them in our temporary emergency safe house while we arrange a more permanent safe house in the next few days. The family has virtually no clothes or possessions so we provide basic necessities as well as a safe place to live.

RescueChristians.org

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of Christian families suffering indenture similar to what is described above. We will be issuing more on this over next few weeks.

We are now helping 15 families directly and indirectly; we expect many more cases to arise over next several months. We really need more help to increase our support for the persecuted in Pakistan. If you can afford to donate a small monthly donation for our support of the persecuted, we would greatly appreciate it.

Please call us at 877-832-7200 or for a one time donation go to this link.

We would like to give you the names of the persecuted and the actual rescuers but this will endanger them. Our director on the ground is code named RW2; he is doing the same work Raoul Wallenberg did for the Jews of Hungary.

Please pray for his protection.

’60 MINUTES’ LIED. Find out the real reasons Christians are fleeing Bethlehem

It could be described as a modern day exodus: Christians are leaving Palestinian Arab-controlled areas like Bethlehem in great numbers. Arab Christians in Bethlehem have been suffering from human rights abuses and economic hardships for years. But despite what the Muslim-sympathizers at 60 Minutes would have you believe, the suffering is not caused by the Israelis but by the Palestinians.

“It’s my prediction that if the remaining Christians in the West Bank and Gaza — Gaza only has maybe a thousand, two thousand Christians,” human rights lawyer Justus Weiner told CBN News. “If their needs are not addressed in 10 or 15 or at most 20 years, there won’t be any Christians in the cradle of Christianity. This will be a kind of memorial, a museum.” Weiner said the threat of persecution, including beatings and forced marriages between Christian women and Muslim men, are some of the reasons Christians have left.

“There is no compulsion in Islam,” say Muslims

Then why are Muslims trying to wipe out Christian populations in Northern Nigeria, not to mention non-Muslims everywhere else in the world?

Throughout northern Nigeria, Christian churches are ramping up security as the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, targets places of worship. Despite the ongoing violence by Muslims,  Christians are refusing to let the near-constant threat of attack keep them from Sunday services.

Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria and Kenya. AGAIN!

A map showing states (in green) currently under Sharia Law in Nigeria. Islamic sect, Boko Haram would like to see the implantation of Sharia Law across Nigeria

Christians at worship came under deadly attack in Nigeria and Kenya, allegedly by the usual suspects, Islamic group Boko Haram,  who are blamed for killing more than 450 people this year alone.Boko Haram is waging a growing sectarian battle with Nigeria’s weak central government, using suicide car bombs and assault rifles in attacks across the country’s predominantly Muslim north and around its capital Abuja.

SDAMatt2a  The deadliest attack targeted an old section of Bayero University’s campus in the city of Kano where churches hold Sunday services, with gunmen killing at least 16 people and wounding at least 22 others. A later attack in the northeast city of Maiduguri saw gunmen open fire at a Church of Christ in Nigeria chapel, killing five people, including a pastor preparing for Communion, witnesses said.

In January, a co-ordinated assault on government buildings and other sites in Kano by Boko Haram killed at least 185 people. In the time since, the sect has been blamed for attacking police stations and carrying out smaller assaults in the city. On Thursday, the sect carried out a suicide car bombing at the Abuja offices of the influential newspaper ThisDay and a bombing at an office building it shared with other publications in the city of Kaduna. At least seven people were killed in those attacks.

In Kenya, meanwhile, a man set off a grenade during a church service in Nairobi, sowing chaos and killing one worshipper. Police said at least one person died and 15 were injured. Nairobi has been hit by a series of unclaimed blasts since late 2011, which Kenyan officials have blamed on Somalia’s al-Qaeda-linked Shebab Islamists.

In March, grenade explosions at one of the main bus stations in Kenya’s capital killed nine people and wounded 40 others, the deadliest in the series of attacks. Al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab militants from neighbouring Somalia have vowed to carry out a major attack on Kenya for sending troops in.

And let’s not forget, it was Barack Hussein Obama who helped his cousin Raila Odinga in Kenya, finance a deadly coup that overthrew the duly elected former Christian leader of Kenya. Odinga has since taken power and implemented sharia law, also with the support of Barack Obama. The Muslim population of Kenya is less than 15%. AN INVESTIGATION by three Republican congressmen has revealed the Obama administration has secretly spent $23 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars in Kenya to fund a “Yes” vote on a constitutional referendum that would increase access to abortions in Kenya and establish legal status for Islamic law tribunals – a move that some congressmen have contested violates the Siljander amendment, a statute that prohibits the federal government from lobbying for or against abortion with foreign aid funds. See: obama-is-supporting-and-financing-the-establishment-of-a-sharia-law-system-in-kenya

SCREW THE CHRISTIANS

The Obama Regime chooses to turn a blind eye to the religious cleansing and killing of Christians, mainly in the Muslim world. The Regime is flooding America with Muslim immigrants, many from terrorist havens, while persecuted Christians from these same areas are all but ignored.

Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, says ”We’re seeing a very vicious attack on Christians in a number of countries. In fact, in many places in Iraq we’re seeing a religious cleansing, where Christians are being killed and driven out.” “There is a radicalization of Islam going on throughout the world and this is having an impact on the tolerance that there is for non-Muslims.”

PHILIPPINES: Attacks on Christians by Muslims have caused church attendance to plummet by 70% in certain areas

Although the Philippines is predominantly a Christian nation, the southern regions are teeming with Muslims who have links to terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda. In their foaming-mouth fervor to establish an Islamic state in these areas, Muslims are increasing their attacks and kidnappings of Christians, resulting in at least four churches closing down.

CBN News The Muslim terrorists seem to target pastors and lay leaders the most, but it still has had an effect on the local church, as attendance is down by 70%. For a people who like to say “there is no compulsion in Islam,” Muslims seem compelled to terrorize and slaughter people who refuse to come to Islam. And it’s not just in the Middle East anymore.

If it’s Easter Sunday, you know somewhere in the world, Muslims are blowing up Christians

A car bomb exploded along a busy roadway Sunday morning in a central Nigeria city, killing at least 38 people in the latest attack on a region beset by religious, ethnic and political violence, an official said.

FOX NEWS  The blast struck Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna state, leaving charred motorcycles and debris strewn across a major road in the city where many gather to eat at informal restaurants and buy black market gasoline. Nearby hotels had their windows blown out of by the force of the powerful explosion, which engulfed a group of motorcycle taximen.

At least 38 people were killed in the blast, said Abubakar Zakari Adamu, a spokesman for the Kaduna state Emergency Management Agency. Others suffered serious injuries and were receiving treatment at local hospitals, Adamu said.

The explosion badly damaged the nearby All Nations Christian Assembly Church as churchgoers worshipped at an Easter service, the possible target of the bomber. Witnesses said it appeared the explosive-laden car attempted to go into the compound of that church before it detonated.

“We were in the holy communion service and I was exhorting my people and all of a sudden, we heard a loud noise that shattered all our windows and doors, destroyed our fans and some of our equipment in the church,” Pastor Joshua Raji said.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram.

Boko Haram, whose name means “Western education is sacrilege” in the Hausa language of Nigeria’s north, is waging an increasingly bloody fight with security agencies and the public. More than 380 people have been killed in violence blamed on the sect this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.

The sect, employing suicide bombers and assault-rifle shootouts, has attacked both Christians and Muslims, as well as the United Nations’ headquarters in Nigeria.

The sect has rejected efforts to begin indirect peace talks with Nigeria’s government. Its demands include the introduction of strict Shariah law across the country, even in Christian areas, and the release of all imprisoned followers.

The blast also comes as the United Kingdom and the United States had warned its citizens living in the oil-rich nation that violence was likely over the Easter holiday.

Kaduna, on Nigeria’s dividing line between its largely Christian south and Muslim north, was at the heart of postelection violence in April 2011. Mobs armed with machetes and poison-tipped arrows took over streets of Kaduna and the state’s rural countryside after election officials declared President Goodluck Jonathan the winner. Followers of his main opponent, former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim, quickly alleged the vote had been rigged, though observers largely declared the vote fair. Across the nation, at least 800 people died in that rioting, Human Rights Watch said.

In February, bombs exploded at two major military bases near the city, injuring an unknown number of people.

What does Egypt’s new hardline government mean for the Zabaleen (Garbage People)?

The Zabaleen, which translates directly from Arabic as ‘Garbage People’ harvest and hand-sort 15,000 tons of waste every day,. This community of roughly 70,000 Coptic Christians, live and work in the most degrading conditions, sifting through trash and sorting it just to earn a few bucks a day. They face all kinds of discrimination from the Muslim majority, yet without them, Egyptians literally would be swimming in their own waste.

Last March, thousands of irate Muslims attacked Christians in Mokattam. At least 10 Christians were killed and nearly 100 were injured. The Mokattam tragedy was followed by more attacks, including the massacre of Christians last October by the Egyptian army at Cairo’s Maspero Square. “The Christians in the Middle East and in Egypt in general are now facing one of the most dangerous stages in their history,” says Mideast expert Walid Phares.

FOR DECADES, most of Cairo’s trash has been disposed of by the Zabaleen. These mostly Coptic Christian garbage collectors represent an informal economy that recycle up to 80 per cent of Cairo’s non-organic waste with the help of pigs.  

But that all changed when the government slaughtered the Zabaleen’s pigs to stop swine flu.  In spring 2009, at the height of the global swine flu epidemic – despite the fact that no Egyptians were affected – the authorities ordered the slaughter of all pigs in Egypt. The animal played an important role in Zabaleen’s recycling enterprise, consuming the organic waste created by Cairo’s 18 million residents and tourists. As a result of this, the living situation for the Zabbaleen has become even poorer even if they continue to breed pigs, illegaly.

 Even so, children play in heaps of steaming waste and are at risk of contracting disease while the stretch of land at the base of Cairo’s Moqattam Mountain is an eyesore. Block after block of rubbish accumulates in every direction, on every rooftop, and along every street corner. And the stench is unbearable. It’s like a sickly sort of smell that just gets trapped in the back of your throat and makes your eyes water.

The Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists now dominate the lower house of parliament. Later this year, they’ll likely control the writing of a new constitution that could include elements of Sharia Islamic law. Coptic Christian activist Father Philopateer Gameel suggests Islamists want to deny Christians their rights as Egyptian citizens. 

“They are trying to make us second class citizens,” he explained. “We hear a lot of accusations that Coptic Christians are not Egyptians.”

But Coptics lived and practiced their Christians faith in Egypt some 600 years before Islam. Arabs Muslims invaded Egypt in 640 A.D., forcing many Coptic Christians to convert or be killed. Waves of persecution and martyrdom have come against them ever since.

IRAQ MAKES THE TOP TEN LIST!

A magazine that documents Christian persecution around the world. On the front cover is a Christian who was hunted down and mutilated by Islamic fanatics

The Top Ten List for countries trying to eradicate Christianity. Disgracefully, the mainstream media rarely, if ever, cover this kind of ethnic cleansing. One possible reason: anti-Christian bias among Western elites and stealth Muslims like Barack Hussein Obama who never mention a word about the violent persecution of Christians in Muslim countries.

Washington Times   It is more than a conspiracy of silence. It is a conspiracy of political and media apathy. There is no political or journalistic will to continually publicize and condemn religious persecution by extremist Muslims or Islamic dictatorships. Members of the Western media are overwhelmingly secular, so they often have a hard time even perceiving the religious root of persecution.

This silence and apathy create an implied consent for religious persecution. 

Over the past year there have been several reports of Christians being violently persecuted in the Middle East, Africa, and other Muslim nations. Most were wire service stories, or reports from religious media outlets like Catholic News Service. 

Churches being burned down by Muslims in Zanzibar

There was little follow-up or editorial outrage over what is now being called religious genocide, religious cleansing, or the next holocaust by human rights and religious groups alarmed at the fast spreading persecution. 

The persecution, in some regions genocide, of Christians and other religious groups is the most important international human rights issue willfully ignored by the American media and our government. 

Our self-proclaimed Christian President has not publicly addressed this issue, nor have the supposed Christians in our legislature. Our Christian Secretary of State has been mute.

But, they continue to dole out foreign, military, and humanitarian aid to countries that practice or allow inhumane persecution. With the exception of Newt Gingrich, the supposed Christian presidential candidates, who blather about their faith, are silent on this issue. 

Some examples: 

• In Egypt Coptic Christians are being persecuted and murdered. 100 thousand Christians fled Egypt since the Mubarek regime collapsed in what the Egyptian Union of Human Rights is calling a “mass exodus.” Our president helped depose Hosni Mubarek in the cause of freedom.  
• In Iraq, where we shed our blood treasure allegedly for the cause of freedom, Christians are being violently persecuted, murdered, and churches are being bombed, as seen in the above photo.
• In the West Bank and Gaza, where Palestinians are in control, Christians are being persecuted. Justus Reid Weiner of Hebrew University claims 1,000 Palestinian Christians left the West Bank city of Bethlehem, the historic birthplace of Jesus. Our government wants to negotiate with people who persecute religion to supposedly bring peace, and that freedom thing, to the region.
• In Pakistan it is illegal to convert to any religion but Islam. They have a blasphemy law with the death penalty. We give foreign aid and military assistance to Pakistan. Pakistan is a tenuous ally in the region.
• CNN reported in Nigeria, 12,000 Christians and animists were killed over the past decade in a religious purge.

So where is the Canadian ‘freedom flotilla’ to Egypt?

Father John Ramzy joins Michael Coren to discuss the never-ending violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt by the muslim majority.

Canadian Leftists can’t get to Gaza fast enough to offer love and cookies to muslim terrorists. But they have no interest at all in the thousands of Coptic Christians who are victims of growing persecution. I don’t know how many are able to emigrate to Canada but hardly any are granted visas to the United States.

SAUDI ARABIA: 35 Ethiopian Christians still in jail for praying in a private home

Ethiopian Christians who were arrested in Saudi Arabia last month for holding a prayer meeting are now being charged by Saudi officials with mixing with the opposite sex. In Saudi Arabia, it is illegal for men and women (non-family) to be in the same room together.

The six men and 29 women were holding a weekly prayer meeting on December 15 when the Saudi police arrested them. Christian leaders say that the accusation of “mixing with the opposite sex” is only an excuse, and believe that the Christians were arrested for practicing their faith. The Christians have not yet been brought before any court.
