The Islamists Global War Against Christianity (and Islam)
As we in the West continue to hear from Islamists and their apologists as to how the US is engaged in a war against Islam, citing our military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq to deny bases of operations for Islamists to use as a safe harbor from which they can propagate terrorism throughout the world in collaboration with the state sponsor of global terrorism - Iran, we are also lectured on the inviolability of the Muslim ummah and justifications of defensive jihad, despite that fact that such dribble flies in the face of the truth; in fact the only war being carried out AGAINST Islam is the war being carried out against it by the Islamists - it is the battle among Muslims over the future of their faith. (Many moderate Muslims now realize that the forces defaming Islam can only be stopped by those who know its teachings and are brave enough to defend them -- even with the threat that they will be martyred for the cause. It is now clear to many on the outside, as well as inside, that there is a war being waged within Islam -- and the West has a large stake in who emerges victorious.).
However, as Patrick Poole points out in his piece today at The American Thinker, Islam's War Against Christianity, the Islamists overall target is Christianity and the West, upon which they have declared and are engaging war, with a particular focus against Christianity: (From Nigeria to Indonesia, Christians are under siege in virtually every single country in the Muslim world, the victims of countless acts of discrimination, depredation, brutality, and murder that are so widespread and systematic that it can rightfully be called the new Holocaust):
... This time, however, the perpetrators of this Holocaust aren't wearing swastikas, but kufi skull caps and hijabs.... Some of the oldest Christian communities in the world are subject to relentless attack and teeter on the brink of extinction at the hands of the "Religion of Peace": Palestinian Christians in Gaza and the West Bank; Assyrian, Syriac and Chaldean Christians in Iraq; Coptic Christians in Egypt; Evangelical and Orthodox Christians in Eastern Ethiopia and Eritrea; Armenian Orthodox Christians in Turkey; and Maronite Christians in Lebanon.
... Several of these communities date back to the beginning decades of Christianity and all have weathered wave after wave of Islamic persecution for centuries and more, but in the very near future some will simply cease to exist. In our lifetime, the only trace of their past existence will be in footnotes in history books (and probably only Western history books at that).
... an extensive search this past weekend of the websites of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Muslim American Society, the Muslim Student Association, the Fiqh Council of North America, and the Muslim Public Affairs Committee - the most visible institutional representatives of Islam in America - found not a single mention or reference of the religious persecution of Christians by their Islamic co-religionists, thereby making them tacit co-conspirators in the Final Solution to the Christian problem in the Muslim world.
Poole continues by noting that the global war on Christianity by Islam (I would argue that it's the Islamists rather than including all Muslims) is so massive in size and scope that it is virtually impossible to describe without trivializing it. Inspired by Muslim Brotherhood ideology and fueled by billions of Wahhabi petrodollars, the religious cleansing of Christians from the Muslim world is continuing at a break-neck pace, as the following recent examples demonstrate.
