Around mid-April, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia —who once wrote a letter to Barack Obama beseeching the president to reconsider his foreign policies which enable the persecution of Christians in Syria — spoke again of the threat of Christian extinction in the Mideast during a meeting with Greek Defense Minister Panagiotis Kammenos. In the Russian Patriarch’s own words:
I regularly get reports of horrible crimes that are committed there against Christians, especially in northern Iraq. I have visited those places and I remember that there were many churches and monasteries there. The city of Mosul alone had 45 churches. Now there is not a single one. The buildings have been destroyed. Four hundred churches have been destroyed in Syria… The presence of the Christian minority was a factor that, in a good sense, brought tolerance and good relations between Christians and Muslims… Now Christianity is the most persecuted religion. The same is happening in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Northern Africa. In some countries of Europe, too, people are prohibited from wearing crosses at work, citing the need for tolerance, do not use the word ‘Christmas’, do not call Easter – Easter, saying just winter holiday or spring holiday instead.

Muslims are possessed people by their “religion”. Sick monsters.
JC08 says
Islamists are possessed by demons that hate, and are trying to rid this
planet of any resemblance of the cross of Christ, because it is the
power of God unto salvation. We are living at the end of this age, and
Satan knows his days are less and less, and is in a hurry to destroy all
that is Holy to our God, thinking he will discourage many that God is
calling from listening. He is wrong. They will answer the call, and they
will be willing to be beheaded for it.
George White Jr. says
Oh please. Don’t blame Satan for the mistakes of man. Blame man. And what is going on over there, is no different than what happened centuries ago at the hands of Xians. The tide had finally turned and now all we here about is Xians crying foul!!!

Jihad vs. Crusades

You know what Omar. Things that happened centuries ago were brought on by the same demons influencing the same type of people who rejected Christ. So, unless you can sum up this video in a couple of sentences, I’m really not interested in turning my discussion into a history lesson.
JC08 says
The Chinese? What do they got to do with this? Man is depraved without Jesus in their life. That’s sure true enough. And the reason is because the demons that opposed Christ will use men that refused to believe Christ is the doorway to God. I’m sorry you don’t see it, but it’s just as plain as the nose on your face, unless you too have rejected the Messiah and cannot understand spiritual things.
