Will the islamophobia never end?
4 Christians Executed in Burkina Faso for Wearing Cross Necklaces
Will Maule | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Wednesday, July 17, 2019According to Christian Persecution charity Open Doors USA, on June 27, heavily armed militants were spotted entering the village of Bani with the aim of hunting down followers of Jesus. The small community was gripped with a paralyzing fear as the militants proceeded to order everyone to lie down.
Then, a search ensued. The terrorists had one clear mission: find those who claim Jesus as their Lord and savior. They searched tirelessly for anything that might identify the individuals as Christ-followers. Then, tragically, they succeeded—four men were found to be wearing crosses around their necks.
Story continues below advertisementAs soon as it became clear that these men were Christians, they were dragged away from the group and brutally executed. Their names were David Zoungrana, Philippe Zoungrana, Theophile Ouedraogo and Ernest Kassoaga.
“At this stage, we don’t know their ages or anything about the families David, Philippe, Theophile and Ernest left behind,” wrote Lindy Lowery at Open Doors USA. “Just that they followed Jesus—and their faith was part of them. They weren’t afraid to make a public statement of their belief in an area known internationally for its display of seven adobe mosques–six of which are built at the top of Bani’s main hill.”
Unsatisfied with their murderous acts, the men then went on to torch David Zoungrana’s shop. The group then headed through another town, Pougrenoma, where they warned residents, under pain of death, against reporting the incident to any government or military officials. The militants also ordered that any Christians in the community must convert to Islam or risk execution.
Some 27 Christians have been murdered in Burkina Faso since February 27. Heartbreakingly, the number of attacks against communities of faith has increased dramatically in recent years. In 2016, there were 12 reported jihadist attacks, in 2017 there were 33 and in 2018 this number rocketed up to an astonishing 158.

While here in America, an ungrateful anti-Semite that won’t denounce Al-Queda, and loves Somalia, yet bad raps America is defended because our President suggests she go to Somalia and fix that.
Never one peep out of people here about Muslim hatred.

I think that it is time that we all realized that kindness, pacifism, consideration and compassion are totally wasted upon these dark age savages and that we simply invoke Hammurabi’s code with a 1300 year vengeance balance to be paid in full. However you can be certain that the leftist traitors everywhere will make this impossible. I guess the fact that in a sharia world they will go first(they wont you know as they will all bow) doesn’t make you feel any better.

How dull their minds are that they have not figured this out. I think it is Biblical, for no one could be so dense.

I wonder how many of the rotten, corrupt, degenerate atheists in the dying West either celebrate news stories like these or are completely indifferent to them?

Few few, I believe- no atheists I have encountered.
Say, the love that Jesus preached apparently didn’t rub off on you, goon.

Yeshua, the Jewish street preacher and carpenter from Nazareth never said to embrace evil and call it good either and he never called the Roman occupiers/conquerors “victims”.

In John 3:16-21 among other things he said, “men love darkness because their deeds are evil”. Never minced words.

I’m surprised you’ve written anything worm, because you, like your fellow muslum vermin, had nothing to write about the hundreds of Christians slaughtered in Sri Lanka, or the tens of thousands of Christians slaughtered by your fellow muslums in Nigeria. You’re a degenerate because you sympathize w/f’ing muslums and call them victims.

Oh so you’re merely a muslum sympathizer worthless, weak, white, gormless worm?
The reason I accuse you of being a muslum sympathizer supercilious worm? Your disgusting attempts to paint muslums as victims. You deserve the muslum boot heel on your neck.

I don’t know about that ….. Dog meat is illegal in the ROK, whereas it’s perfectly legal in the USA. Now, Liar Spittoon’s “wife” is fortunate that it’s not living in China …. cat meat is frequently served, in the PRC.

It’s estimated that the illegal dog meat trade, in Korea, runs around two million pounds, harvested.
In the U.S., it’s estimated we consume well over TWENTY Million Pounds.

Wrong again. You really have a good record of being wrong.
Dog meat is NOT illegal in ROK.
The killing of dogs for meat is illegal, totally different thing.
Your ignorance of this world knows no bounds. You demonstrate it to all on a regular basis.

You reference The Guardian? TOO funny, little one. Actually, little one, in preparation of the Olympics of 1988, legislation forbidding the serving of ge gogi was passed. So, although mong-mong tong is still considered medicine and there are underground shops that sell such, it’s been illegal since 1988. You’re ignorance knows no bounds, little one.

Well, in truth, many on the left are indeed largely non-practicing and / or agnostic, especially in the younger generation, and they are largely indifferent to the persecution of Christians in other countries.
Islamophobia in Western society is a huge concern to them, but the slaughter of Christian civilians is a considerably lower priority and oftentimes does not enter their radar at all.

Most likely they never see stories of this nature. Many of them have hardened hearts and they are not going to be as inclined to seek after truth. It isn’t just the atheists by any means. The antichrist religion being formed now will encompass all the earth worshiping movement, the sexual perversion movement, the Singularity, etc. All of these people see anything that is Bible truth as the true enemy of mankind.

I believe Allah would have been even more pleased- maybe even thrown in an extra virgin or two- had the victims been Jews. But hey, if there are no Jews handy, Christians will do almost as well. After all, in a big surprise to many Jews throughout history, Jews and Christinas are friends to one another.

Yes…they will not! Although in old days when we just had a few in our country, they were not a problem. They dressed and acted as we did. Then they became radicalized. I believe they are afraid to change for fear of being murdered by their people. We have seen this.
