As the "
Warped Manchester bomber's" brother awaited
sentencing for his part in the murder of 22 people in the 2017 Manchester Arena terror attack in which hundreds were injured, in New Zealand an "
evil mass murderer's day of reckoning" loomed.
Described as an '
Australian white supremacist' fears were expressed that Brenton Tarrant would 'spout his twisted views' when he represented himself in court.
Tarrant's
rampage was indefensible. He planned to burn down the mosques and wanted to 'inflict as many fatalities as possible'.
He was condemned as a "supremacist". Islam is a supremacist ideology which seeks to convert all infidels to Islam.
A survivor of the Al Noor mosque shooting
addressed Tarrant directly at the hearing. He said, "When you get a free minute, which you will have plenty of, ... maybe you should try to read the Koran. It's beautiful."
In Islam dominant countries dhimmi people are expected to pay the jizya or face death if they refuse to convert to Islam. A death sentence is also the fate of Muslims who convert from Islam. Even in some of
Britain's jails 'Islamist extremists' have been extorting 'infidel tax' from fellow prisoners'.
'Convert, pay tax, or die' the
Islamic State warned Christians in Iraq back in 2014.
Commenting on the BBC documentary series
Once Upon a Time in Iraq, the Chaldean Archbishop of Erbil accused the BBC of overlooking the plight of persecuted
Christians in Iraq and Yazidi people. He said it was "wounding and damaging" for religious minorities to have been "airbrushed" out obrother of thef the documentary.
In a
letter to the BBC, the Archbishop questioned why the series had omitted to include the experiences of religious minorities who suffered rape, kidnapping and murder at the hands of ISIS.
"How can this be? Had we not suffered the war and its aftermath just like our Muslim brothers and sisters?" he wrote.
"Do you understand the persecution we have suffered in our homeland? And that Christians have existed in this land for 2,000 years, the Mandaeans and Yazidis for even longer?"
In
Mozambique multiple churches have been burnt, people beheaded, young girls kidnapped, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced.
In June after reports that insurgents had beheaded 15 people in a week Bishop Luiz Fernando Lisboa of Mozambique’s Pemba diocese said that the crisis in Mozambique has largely been met with “indifference” from the rest of the world.
Elsewhere in Africa thousands of Christians have been killed by Muslims, most of the killings unreported by mainstream media.
Genocidewatch reports that "350 Nigerian Christians were massacred in the first two months of 2020. Over 11,500 Christians have been murdered since June 2015. Four to five million Christians are displaced. 2000 churches were destroyed."
Nigerians in London have demonstrated outside the Nigerian High Commission handing in a letter protesting against the
relentless attacks on communities in southern Kaduna by armed men of the mainly Muslim Fulani tribes.
According to
Amnesty International more than 1,100 people have been killed in rural areas across several states of northern Nigeria amid "an alarming escalation in attacks and abductions during the first half of the year."
The Director of Amnesty International Nigeria said, "Terrifying attacks on rural communities in the north of Nigeria have been going on for years."
While most people have heard on news bulletins about the 22 deaths in New Zealand there is no similar reporting of the fate of thousands of Christians at the hands of Islamists.
Instead,
aided by Pope Francis, churches are converted into mosques and, bizarrely, Irish schoolchildren studying for their Junior Cert Religion are required to attend a Mosque, shoes off, learning
how to pray to Allah.
Around the world, and particularly in France, churches are torched and vandalised. The
Catholic News Agency reports the French Interior Ministry recording 996 anti-Christian acts in 2019 - an average of 2.7 per day.
Since 2010, the Paris-based L’Observatoire de la Christianophobie (Observatory of Christianophobia) has chronicled these anti-Christian incidents and produced a map showing "
Christianophobic acts".
In the UK the BBC commits
£100m of its content spend on 'diverse productions and talent' which, on current trends, will include further promotion of the supremacist ideology of Islam while pushing Christianity further into the background.
Some encouraging news is the resignation of the board of Britain's largest Muslim charity after anti-semitic posts by one of its directors were
uncovered, although given the circumstances they had little choice.
"It was revealed that in posts in arabic on his own Facebook account, Dr Tayara called leaders of militant Palestinian group Hamas as 'great men' who responded to the 'divine and holy call of the Muslim Brotherhood'.
"In another, he posted an image of former President Barack Obama wearing a tie branded with the Star of David, with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Assad of Syria on his lap with quote marks saying 'Death to America!' and 'Death... death'.
The BBC should be aware that it is not uncommon for Muslims to practice taqiyya which presents a peaceful face of Islam for general consumption while the authentic face of Muslim is hidden in arabic.
There is no beauty in that.
