Please rember our persecuted brothers and
sisters who are suffering persecution all over the world this Christmas because of their faith in Our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
In Egypt Martha Samuel who converted from islam to Chritianity
5 years ago has been arrested with her husband and two children ages 2 and 4 while trying to flee the country. islamic authorities
are starving the two children in an effort to force the woman to renounce Christianity and return to islam. Martha Samual
whose name was Zainab Said Abdel-Aziz before her conversion has also been beaten, tortured and sexually molested while
in police custody. Ms Samual and her family were attempting to escape from Eygpt after her name was place
on a list of persons prohibited from leaving Eygpt.
Those of us who are aware of the persecution of Christians that is currently
taking place on this fallen planet tend to think of places like Saudi Arabia, China, Vietnam, Eritea, North Korea or
even India as hotbeds of violence and persecution of Christians. Few of us realize that Eygpt is one worst countries
in this world when it comes to persecution.
According to Sam Grace of Coptic News in an interview with World Net Daily
"In the last 10 years, more than 5,000 Christians have been massacred in Egypt," he told WND. "Hundreds of businesses and
homes first have been looted, then burned and destroyed. Churches have been burned and destroyed."
Grace told WND that attacks, lootings and burnings are common in Egypt on Fridays, after the local imam preaches violence
against Christians at his mosque.
"The life of a Christian in Egypt is now worth zero. Every Muslim now knows killing a Christian [is not prosecuted]," Also
quoted in World Net Daily "
A report from the Coalition for the Defense of Human Rights concluded Coptic Christians in Egypt have been harassed, tortured
and killed by Muslims for 1,400 years.
"They have been subjected to all kinds of hate crimes including, the abduction of young Coptic girls, the killing of Coptic
women and children and the destruction of their places of worship," the report concluded."
Unlike our Constitution that is grounded in the fact that there is a Creator who has endowed all human beings with certain
inailienable rights among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that the sole purpose for the existance
of a government is to protect these inailienable rights. Eygpt's constitution declares that laws derive from the quran
so the persecution and subjugation of Christains is an acceptable practice.
It's ironic that Isalmomaniac front groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other assorted Islamofascist
groups are working so hard to win the acceptance of Sharia Law in Western Democracies and have no trouble finding Politically
Correct Cowards and other assorted sympathetic meatheads to assitst them in their mischief.
Another False Imprisonment in Pakistan
On October 9th twenty two year old Sandul Bibi and her father Gulsher Masih
were falsely imprisoned under the charge of ripping pages from the koran which is listed under Pakistans blasphemy law. This
particular charge seems to be one of the favorite tools used by muslims attack God's people. Two other favorite false accusations
are speaking against their false god and daring to say a word against their false prophet which pretty much means
speaking the truth! Maybe I'm wrong but I don't share what might be classified as the good manners of my fellow believers
both here and in Pakistan.
Sandul and her father drew the ire of these Islamofacists by winning many of their fellow
villagers to Christ.
In a typical display of their high degree of cultural advancement and tolerance
a large crowd of these adherents to the "Religion of Peace" (thank you George Bush) attacked Christian families attending
church throwing stones and shooting guns. Local Mosques broadcast messages over thier loudspeakers that Christians had
disgraced the koran and urged their listeners to attack their homes.
If you are a believer please pray for Sandul and Father
as well as all of our brothers and sisters who are living under this oppression. Also pray that we here in America will
repent of our fear and laziness. That we will boldly live and proclaim the gospel as well as stand up unaplogitically for
truth, morality and freedom. Many of us haven't and some of us have sat back on our laurels and ignorantly criticized
the men and women whom God has used to take this stand and turn back oppression and persecution here in our own nation.
I recieved the news of this outrage from Prinsoner Alerts which is associated with Voice of the Martyrs
Hindu Bigots Viciously Attacking Christians
According to Ted Turner India and it's majority Hindu population
are much more morally advanced than we primative Christians of the west. Teddy is fond of complimenting them for
thier religion's harmony with "mother earth" and for their peaceful disposition and way of life.
Reality however is a different story. For some time now there has been a violent
outbreak of persecution against Christians in India. Christians are being brutally beaten, abused, and terrorized. Their property
is being destroyed and some of them have been savagely killed. According to World Net Daily and Voice of the Matyrs a gang
of Hindu thugs attacked Emannuel Ministries in Rajastan India.
The gang was armed with guns, a sword, a large stick rocks and stones and screamed
that that would kill Samuel Thomas the ministry leader. They proclaimed that they would "kill and willingly go to prison
for six years". I guess that proves the value of human life or should I say Christian lives in the eyes of the government
of our allie and trading partner India when a gang of primative criminals can commit premeditated murder upon believers and
only receive and official six year sentance.
A few days later Christians from the Believers Assembly
Church in the Sri Ganga Nagar District were ordered appear at their local Police Station. Hindu fundementalists had complained
that these bretheren were converting local villagers ortherwise known as engaging in free speech and preaching the gospel.
The tolerant Hindus and their goverment have
something called the Anti-Conversion Act of Rajasthan. The new Christian converts were threatened that if they did not
return to Hinduism they would be arrested under provisions of that act.
In Karnataka a mob wielding bats, clubs, and knives
attacked another Believers Church. Church members were sworn at while they were beaten and stabbed by this mob which also
included 15 Bajrang Dal extremists. Church property was also destroyed and the pastor mercilessly beaten with cricket bats.
Not content to vent their destructive hatred on my brothers
and sisters in their native lands Hindu organizations here in America have been working hard to silence the voices of Churches
and Believers here in America.
The Hindu American Foundation (sounds harmless doesn't it ?) has attacked minstries
from the Southern Baptist Convention and Gospel for Asia to Olive Tree Ministries. This and other Hindu Organizations are
upset because Christians have the nerve to believe that they have found (or more accurately, been found by) THE TRUTH
and have the audacity to try to share it.
I guess that the Hindu belief system just can't stant up to the tenents of
Christianity. If it did the Hindu American Foundation and their ilk would not feel the need to silence Christians or to resort
to blantant lies and false accusations in their efforts to silence us. Vinny Vallabb the lead author of a report that attacked
Christians and Christian Organizations for expressing their beliefs stated :
We must vigorously identify, condemn and counter those who use the Internet to espouse chauvinism and bigotry over the
principles of pluralism and tolerance,"
Tolerance ? I this guy kidding ? Not only does this
kind of disembling betray the weakness of Mr Vallabb's position, it exposes his moral bankrupcy as well.
Most Christians in America are unaware of this attack on us
and our God given freedoms right here in America. It's not just hateful intolerant Hindus who are out to silence us and put
us down either.
God has given us so much freedom and so many blessings in this nation. But He
has also given us the responsibility to speak out and stand up in this unique form of governance that He has allowed every
Christain in America to be born into or immigrate into. It troubles me that so many Pastors, Church Leaders and Individual
Christians are sleep walking their way through American citizenship. Many of us feel that it is unspiritual or worldly to
take hold of the privilage and responsibility that God has given us as American Citizens. Verses about submission to authority
are taken out of context. This isn't Rome, we don't have a dictator. According to one of our Founders this nation is
designed to work for a population that is morally upright. It's designed for people to involve themeselve. So many Christians
like to espouse their great faith by saying things like "we're going to end up under a world goverment no matter what we do" .
Well God knows when and how that will happen. It doesn't excuse irresponsiblity, cowardness or laziness. It would be tragic
if in the will of God we end up with all of our rights stripped away under severe persecution due to our own irresponsibility
and imaturity.
Quotations taken from World Net Daily :
From the AsiaNews :
The adherents of the "Religion of Peace" otherwise known as Islam who
populate the government of Pakistan have sent a formerly tabled bill dealy with apostasy to a standing committee for review.
The bill authorizes the death penalty or life in prison for apostates. An apostate is
defined as a person who leaves Islam. The Pakistani Goverment doesn't have a problem with a person leaving any other religion.
The only thing required to prove apostasy under this bill is the testimony of 2 witnesses.
The bill assigns the death penalty to every male who leaves Islam and converts to another religion and life inprison of until
repentance occurs for apostate females.
Convicted Apostates are given from 3 to 30 days to return to Islam, in such cases a judge
has the option to send repentant Apostates to jail for 2 years for thier original crime.
All property of executed or imprisoned Apostates is given to Muslim relatives and parental
custody is forfieted if the Apostate has any children.
If you are a praying person, please join with Pakistani
Christians and pray that this bill will not become law, and that the government of Pakistan will recognize the basic
right of every human being to follow thier own conscience in thier choice of religious adherence.
Christians in India are now facing persecution for thier faith, as well as my brothers
and sisters who live in Communist countries and nations dominated by Islam. The following are excerpts from the April
24th Voice of the Martrys:
- CHITTOR DISTRICT – On April 11, several Christians were severely beaten by Hindu militants
after an evangelistic team returned from distributing gospel tracts in the area. While they were fellowshipping with believers,
more than 50 militants attacked them and burnt their literature.
- HYDERABAD – On April 14, five Christians were arrested for distributing literature and
praying for the sick at Gandhi Hospital. On April 15, twenty Christians were attacked by Hindu militants at Bethel Church
in Borabanda. Four people were injured, including a three-year-old child. Pray for healing for the injured and ask God to
comfort those in prison and their families. Pray Christians in India continue to share Christ with boldness despite their
suffering. Acts 4:29
INDONESIA  Christian Leaders Arrested – VOM Sources
More than 40 Christian leaders were arrested after a video recording
of them praying for Muslims was leaked to Islamic organizations. Muslims claim the Christians blasphemed the Koran by placing
it on the floor and praying for millions of people that had been deceived by it. The Islamic organizations consider the video's
content abusive and have released the video to the media. Among the imprisoned were parents of young children. According to
sources in Indonesia, some imprisoned women and the elderly have been released. The Voice of the Martyrs is working to assist
families. Pray for those in prison and their families. Ask God to give them boldness and wisdom as they face these difficult
challenges. Psalm 138: 2-3
TURKEY Young Muslims Murder Three Christians – Compass Direct News
On April 18, five Muslims entered a Christian
publishing company and killed three believers in the Southeastern province of Malatya. Two of the victims were Turkish converts
from Islam and the third man was a German citizen. It is reported that four of the five attackers admitted that the killings
were motivated by both "nationalist and religious feelings." Pray for comfort for the families of the deceased. Pray the testimony
of their loved ones will lead others into the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Ask God to give Christians in Turkey perseverance
to serve Him in the midst of immense challenges. Matthew 5:3-4
LAOS Christian Families Forced To Leave their Homes- VOM Sources
Constant threats and pressure from authorities have
forced five families to leave Nam Heang village. These families are in addition to four that left in February. According to
VOM sources, the families recently accepted Christ and are being forced to leave their homes and belongings because of their
faith. Their greatest needs are rice and materials to build housing. Pray God will encourage them and protect them. Ask He
provides for their needs. Psalm 111:4-5
Please pray for these brothers and sisters and all who are
suffering persecution.
With the move in the Senate and House to enact phony hate crimes laws that can be used to
both silence and persecute Christians for speaking the truth about homosexuality and about Islam; I fear that our time may
be comming soon. I hope I'm wrong. The enemies of Christ and the haters of believers have been over active in our nation for
a long time in their attempts to silence us and snuff out the very mention of GOD in our nation. Thank GOD that He has raised
up a number of Christian Legal Oranizations that have successfully stood up against this onslaught through prayer and legal
action Blessed by Our LORD !
Only God knows the depth of the pain that mixes with the joy of deliverance in this young ladies heart. Azra Beebe worked
slavishly with her mother at a Pakistani brick kiln since the age of 7. It was the only way to earn enough money for their
family to eat. Insults and abuse from thier muslim coworkers were a daily experience for Azra and her mom. Eventually the
day came when insulting and harassing Azra and her mom who are Christians no longer safisfied the hatred and blood lust
within the hearts of these members of the "religion of peace" so in
harmony with what is becoming common place in every nation in which muslims make up the majority, they turned on Azra's
mom and savagely beat her.
After the beating Azra and her mom were taken to the brick kiln owner and her mom was heniously murdered in front of
her eyes. The shock of witnesses her mother's murder at the hands of these amoral savages wasn't all that Azra faced.
Now the same subhuman scum who murdered her mother, under the wonderous and fair Islamomaniac Pakistani
Law had the right to marry Azra off in order to pay off her mothers debts after forcing her to convert to Islam!
In Azra's case a brave local pastor with help from Voice
of the Martyrs was able to step in, pay off Azra's debt and rescue her. Voice of the Martyrs is now providing training
and a place to live for Azra.
Noviana Malewa pictured above is recovering nicely (physically
anyway) from an attempt by a band of muslim jihadists to cut her head off while she was innocently walking to school with
3 of her girlfriends.
Her girlfriends did not survive the attack, their heads were seperated from the bodies.
Noviana was able to recieve medical treatment for her wound with assistance from Voice of
the Martyrs. VOM reports that Noviana while struggling with the emotional and mental wounds of witnessing the murder of friends
has remained steadfast in her faith.
The 4 girls were on their way to their Christian High School when they were jumped on a small
footpath by a group of cowardly machete wielding Islamomaniacs dressed like ninjas. Noviana was able to fight back
and managed to fall and roll off of the path into a ravine after recieving the chop to the side of her face and head. Although
she survived, the screams of her dying friends remain in her heart and mind.
These occurances are not abberrations, they are happening
to christians every minute of every day in muslim nations. In Iraq while President Bush does nothing the Assyrian Christians are
being serverely perseucted. The persecution of Christians by Islamomaniacs which includes the rape of Christian women has
been at epic proportions since Israel abandoned the governence of that area to those wonderful benevolent praticioners of
the religion of peace known as the PLO.
In Saudi Arabia and Pakinstan as well as other muslim nations
sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ can get you killed and so can leaving the religion of islam! Our brothers and sisters
are leaving these countries whenever possible but those who can't get out live under the oppressive thumb of islam daily.
Here in the U.S. ironically we are welcoming the same
islamomainics who persecute our brothers and sisters in their home countries and who won't hesitate to do the same thing to
us if their goals of turning the U.S. into an Islamomaniac nation under sharia law are ever realized. Our politiicans and
many of our politically corrected and sissy whipped populace won't speak a word of truth against the oppressive practices,
history of mahem, murder and forced conversions, intolerance and primitive nature of islamic nations or islam itself. In the
phony name of multiculturalism our nation which was built on the Judeo Christain belief system and principles and was founded
as a Christain nation rather than being a melding pot is slowly becoming Balkanized as we willingly let the intolerant
practioners of radical islam which is really basic original islam immigrate here, set up shop and even evangelize our prison
population with their warped hatred. Our politicians, elitists and other power brokers refuse to act in and for the preservation
and welfare of our nation. But that's nothing new!
In the Sudan the intolerance of Christianity and persecution has degernerated
into genocidal proportions. In Somalia horrendous acts of murder and brutality upon Christians are taking place. And, in sections
of Nigeria dominated by muslims where sharia law is enforced, churches have burned, acts of brutality abound and christians
have been prosecuted by the local government.
Our trading partners China and Vietnam are inprisoning,
oppressing and killing Christains but business interests in our nation are making too much money to really care about it.
Many of the ornaments on your Christmas Tree were made by prison slave laborers in China whose crime is their Christianity.
So please sometime this Christmas Season remember and
pray for the many Christians who are suffering for their faith and maybe even consider helping them.
We have so much to be thankful for, our nation has truely been blessed
and underservedly so.
Islam's Followers Now Kidnapping Christian Girls
The young lady pictured above was recently kidnapped by a well organized team of Muslims who
threatened her with rape if she did not deny Christ and convert to islam. This evil practice has become more and more prevalent
in Islamomaniac Nations in recent years.
So much so that the Voice of the Martyrs has set up safe homes to protect and house young
Christian women who have either escaped kidnapping in muslim countries or who are in great threat of abduction.
Lorans was kidnapped right off of a public bus in her hometown of El Mahala Al Kobra in Egypt
on October 02 by a group of muslim thugs who drugged her and threatened her with rape unless she converted. Her parents were
then text messaged
"The girl is not accepting easily, but she will embrace Islam for sure."
and
"Take the rest of your daughters and leave the city, or you will lose them one by one."
Thank
God, she was able to escape the next night when the cowardly thugs who imprisoned her took some kind of break associated
with Ramadan. Local authorities in the Helwan, suburb of Cairo where she was being held, warned her that if she did not deny
that the kidnapping had occured, she would never see her parents again.
This isn't an isolated incident,
Christians are being persecuted, imprisoned, brutalized and slaughtered officially and unofficially in every land where Sharia
is the rule of law or holds stong influence, from Pakistan to Nigeria. It's no secret anymore that in Islamic countries oppression
and violence religious minorities reign.
Yet our clueless President
constantly refers to Islam as a "Religion of Peace" , our news and entertainment media coverup and propagandize
and our State Department uses it's influence to placate Islamomaniacs at the expense of our citizens as well as the oppressed
miniorites in Muslim Lands.

Email Update
Location: Vietnam
Arrested: March 2004
An incident on March 2, 2004, near the Vietnam Mennonite church center in District 2, eventually resulted in the arrest
of six church leaders, including evangelist Pham Ngoc Thach. It began when they attempted to report to local civil authorities
they were being harassed by secret agents. After agents fled the scene, leaving a motorcycle behind, the church leaders insisted
police conduct an official investigation. Many police arrived at the scene. There was scuffling, and Thach was knocked down,
jumped on and kicked in the face.
When evangelist Pham Ngoc Thach heard his
Christian brother was being beaten at the police station, he went to urge restraint. Was he thinking of Hebrew 13:3? We do
not know, but he, too, was arrested, jailed, beaten and later sentenced to two years in prison. Of the six church leaders
arrested, he is the only one remaining in prison. Contact Vietnamese officials, and join with others requesting Thach be granted
amnesty and early release. You can send him a note of encouragement by visiting www.prisoneralert.com.
