Church Militant reporter, Trey Blanton, recently compiled a comprehensive report on his recent visit to the Republic of Artsakh. A portion of the report quotes me on the history of the region, an excerpt of which follows:
Historical Precedent of Muslim Turkish Threat
Raymond Ibrahim, scholar and author on Islam offers historical context for today’s ongoing persecution of the Armenians by Turkic peoples: The heart of the Muslim world—the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia Minor—was all Christian before the sword of Islam invaded. Thus, before Islam violently conquered eastern Anatolia (Asia Minor) in the eleventh century, Armenia was significantly larger than today. Beginning a thousand years, however, Turks chipped away at and absorbed ethnically Armenian territory. What is happening today is simply part of that continuum…

Hungary had some issues not so long ago with the Muslim turks. This is the reason why we DONT allow islamic jihadis to migrate to our homes.

Aloha Raymond Ibrahim,
& mahalos, thank you, for your kindness and intelligent information! An Armenian friend once told me that the mountains of Ararat, where Noah’s ark has been found, is (was) located in Armenia. Considering what you have written, about the stolen boundaries by Anatolia / Turkey, my friend may have been correct.
Thank you, again, for clarifying so much considering the middle east & its history. It’s also my history, and really everyone’s.
Respectfully,
Aloha ke Akua,

Thanks, Michele, and you’re welcome.

Hi beloved brothers and sisters, please read “Ravished Armenia”, the account of the Armenian Genocide, by Aurora Mardiganian.
You can find it here: https://archive.org/details/ravishedarmenias00mard
There is also a fragment of a documentary based on her story, which has survived so many decades: https://youtube.com/watch?v=uTnCaW-Uo_s
The Muslim Turks are complete animals, we can’t even possibly imagine how cruel, brutal, animalistic and evil they are; read for yourself! The filthy mohammedans first murdered all the men, and then death-marched through the desert the poor old women, girls, women, children and babies. But they butchered the old women and babies too! And those who renounced Christ, they were murdered too.
The poor Armenian girls suffered a fate worse than death, in the harems as slaves. In addition to having been brutally raped and tortured many nights during the death march.
Muslim Turks are truly the filthiest parasites on Earth, just look at what they did! It’s in Aurora’s book, more people must know her story, the story of Martyred Armenia.
As for muslim turks, God may have mercy, but I don’t think I would. Such people as them do not deserve mercy, we place such criminals in maximum security prisons, but they deserve the death sentence. Just read what they did!

I am a convert to Christianity from a Turkish background and I agree with you. As a person living in Turkey I see a lot of opression and thus unfortunately I hide my Christian faith in public. Turks are very ultranationalistic/Islamistic people and they hate the non-Muslim indigenous minorities of Turkey. I am trying to be strong, alive and well with the help of God and your prayers for the persecuted Christians.
I also want to note that actually most of the Turks of Turkey are actually descendants of the forcibly converted Christians and Jews. According to a Greek Orthodox ascetic saint who lived in the 20th century, many Turks will convert to their ancestors’ belief, the Orthodox Christianity, which I hope so.

Hi Oskar, thank you for sharing! I would like to share with you these quotes which I know I must apply to myself: https://www.azquotes.com/author/28476-Silouan_the_Athonite
As for praying, I’m so sinful but I could try; please pray for me too 🙏❤️
Oskar says
Hello, thank you for sharing the quotes, Sbilko. I am also a sinful man too who tries to avoid commit sins especially after my conversion. I will pray for you. God bless you and help you. Take care. 🙂
Sbilko says
Thank you, God bless you too! And God bless also your turk muslim compatriots, whose heart needs to be filled with Love. For repentance comes out of humility.
Dan says
