    Oh, woe is the poor, beleaguered christians. So deeply oppressed. They have no TV shows that depict their lives, they can’t have churches to worship in, they can’t get elected to any office, let alone the Presidency, they can’t wear articles of faith on their persons, they can’t read the bible in public, they can’t preach their word anywhere. They are so badly mistreated.

    Except all of that is backwards. Get over yourselves, christians.

    Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12"Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. — Matthew 5:11-12.Christianity is DESIGNED to be persecuted.Now get out there, Love your Neighbor as yourself, and take a Martyrdom for the Team.

    Christians don’t need saving by men. We are already saved by God. Persecution because of Christ, as stated in the Bible, is an honor.

    And isn’t it surprising that the designated enemies of the Imperialist States of Amerikastan – Assad and before him Saddam Hussein – were and are the people protecting Christians in West Asia? Gaza has Christian churches functioning normally under “evil” HAMAS rule. How many churches are there in the territory of Amerikastan’s ally, Saudi Barbaria? By the way, considering how many Muslims the neoCrusader West has murdered in the last 25 years (including the half a million Iraqi kids starved to death by Kill Blinton in the 90s), it’s rich that anyone should have the gall to say “save the Christians”.

    “Bless the beasts and the children, for in this world they have no choice”. Adult humans do, and can be expected to try to take care of themselves. So, not joining any movements to protect them just now, especially those who essentially control half the world.

    “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” – Jesus in John 15:18 (ESV). The world hates Christians because the world hates Christ.

    Yes, the world today, (under Satan’s Kingdom since Adam sinned in Eden), hates God, hates the people of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and hates Jews and Christians and sins against them with false accusations and disrespect and rejection and bloody persecutions. -The Bible quotes Jesus and the Prophets who reported that Satan’s puppets would persecute God’s people, but that does not mean it is Okay to join the majority in doing and speaking Hate……Jesus also said that whoever harms the least of the believers is doing the harm to Jesus, the Lamb of God who gave himself on the cross to pay for our sins and was resurrected to defeat death and promise eternal life with God to every believer. Jesus did not command believers to go out and surrender to evil men, but to be faithful in standing for Him even in the face of threatened death. Every Christian in an orange jumpsuit waiting to lose life by Allah’s commanded beheading by agents of Satan, must remember God’s promise that He will be with us always.-But those who do the harm to believers must one day face Jesus as God’s Judge, and there will be no Advocate helping them. They all will join Satan & his minions in the Lake of Fire with “No Exit”…..100% their own choice in life.

    The aggressors/oppressors in the US are now asking to be saved. They feel picked upon because they try to tell other people how to live their lives in a country of the free.

    The Fundamentalist “Christians” sound a Lot like the man who kept complaining that his Wife kept hitting his Fist with her Face..Among all those passages justifying the hate they keep spreading, they keep skipping over the line about Reaping what you Sow..Then, there are the Rapture believers who Want a new holocaust in the middle east because Jeebus refuses to come “Rapture” them until they Force Him into it by reducing the entire region to a nice glaze of Nuclear Glass.

    The constant call from right-wing “Christians” for the blood and death of all Muslims, yes, shows the true tolerance of the “good Christian”.

    A single cruise missile landing on Bagdhad killed more Muslims than all the grotesque- deliberately, scenes of Christians being killed byISIL.

    Christians need to look at the real history of their faith and realize from their own book: “As yea sow, so shall you reap”. And then there’s “old faithful”, an eye for an eye.

    Thank you Tim C for pointing out what OMQ omitted in his rant about “Bush’s Crusade”….3,000 innocent victims murdered by a Jihadist plot of Al Qaeda, in New York City and in D.C.-President GW Bush would have failed in his duty to not respond to wipe out Afghanistan’s haven given to Al Qaeda!-The Iraqi people had been lobbying the USA to help them as they were oppressed by Saddam. His cruelty was well-known and verified by the torture chambers and mass graves after the coalition of over 30 governments headed by the USA and the UK toppled Saddam. It was the Iraqi people who took down statues of the Tyrant we saw in video news.-God’s people are not commanded to quietly raise the white flag of surrender when there is availability of military defense!Liberating others who ask for help is an ethical and moral act, not equal to an aggressive conquering regime such as WW2 Nazis and Italian and Japanese enemies hoping to occupy lands and people not their own! War requires bloodshed, and America didn’t start the 1979 Global Jihad begun in Iran!-Who starts War is an important issue! America has a history of Ending Wars, and aiding the nations defeated….WW2 the proof.

    Christians need no saving, unless you’re talking in extremist Muslim areas. I presume Lisa means right wing Christians. Same applies.

    Left wing extremists hate Christians more than terrorists, so have no problem with Islamists exterminating them.
