Persecuted and Forgotten?

No I am not talking about Muslims who feel hard done by? I am talking about Christians.

Christians – already the world's most persecuted faith – are suffering worse persecution, violence and intimidation.

The above is a link to the full article, plus I ask you to watch the video [only 4 mins] and still say it is only Muslims who are suffering.

A Pakistani Christian woman as been on Death row for five years.

A Pakistani Christian woman Asia Bibi, as been on death row for the past five years for Blasphemy charges.

“The Christian mother of five had been on death row since 2010 after being accused of blasphemy during a dispute over drinking water concerning a fellow factory worker. The death penalty was upheld last October by the Lahore High Court but yesterday the Supreme Court suspended the sentence until the end of the appeal process.”

Persecution of Pakistan's Christians by fanatical Islam is a betrayal of Jinnah and founding fathers

The following is a summary of an article by Bishop Michael Nazirili, who just happens to originate from Pakistan and was a Bishop in Lahore before coming to the UK. He was the Bishop of Rochester before retiring .

The persecution of Pakistani Christians in Pakistan. Christians represent 2% of the population of Pakistan. They are treated as second class citizens.

There have been a few articles recently about a judge's ruling about the radicalisation of a 16 year old girl from Tower Hamlets by her family.

The articles suggest that material that she was exposed to included beheadings, and she had already attempted to go to Syria to become.

The Judge found the parents to be decietful and considered the radicalisation to be as bad as "sex abuse".

This post is following on from my previous blog post where Malcolm X lamented that had Muslims actually carried out Da'wah in America, people would not have fallen for the lies by Elijah Muhammad.

When Malcolm X went on Hajj and saw the true Islam in its multicultural glory, he also saw that the Muslims were complacent. As someone that had in the past recruited thousands of people, the wheels in his mind were spinning:

In the past I have informed people of the existence of free office software that fulfils most people's needs.

At the time, the software was called OpenOffice.org - a bit of a strange name with the ".org" at the end, but still, easy to find and remember.

What people may not know is that a few years ago the project split - most developers went to a new project called LibreOffice, whiile the official name and a few of the developers went to create a new project called Apache Open Office.

Apache Open Office is the official successor to the original openoffice.org. It is also dead.

…is that people can be convinced by religion.

You may be surprised by what I have said and it is the opposite of what is often suggested.

A common assertion made by atheists is the supposed scientific basis for their beliefs, and quoting theories such as Occam’s razor. What they do not tell you is that whenever there has been a major scientific discovery, the scientists of that generation often did not accept it. It was only the next generation that would take that information and apply it.

From Malcolm X's autobiography:

I was later to learn that Elijah Muhammad's tales, like this one of 'Yacub', infuriated the Muslims of the East. While at Mecca, I reminded them that it was their fault, since they themselves hadn't done enough to make real Islam known in the West. Their sileince left a vacuum into which any religious faker could step and mislead our people

Something I didn't know until I was told a few hours ago - Emmanuel Adebayor has accepted Islam. It happened around June time this year.

The ceremony where he said his shahadah is available on Youtube:

He had recently run into some family trouble that was causing him stress, so it is good to hear that he has found peace in Islam.
