Eleven Christians Killed Every Day For Their Faith

Last year, Christians were persecuted more than ever before in the modern era — and this year is expected to be worse: “4,136 Christians were killed for faith-related reasons,” according to Open Doors USA in its recently published World Watch List 2019 (WWL) of the top 50 nations where Christians are persecuted. “On average, that’s 11 Christians killed every day for their faith.” Additionally, “2,625 Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned” in 2018, and “1,266 churches or Christian buildings were attacked.”
Whereas 215 million Christians faced persecution in 2018, 245 million will suffer in 2019, according to Open Doors — a 14% increase, that represents 30 million more people abused for their faith. This means that “1 in 9 Christians experience high levels of persecution worldwide” (note: all quotations in this article are from the WWL 2019).

Last year’s WWL provided more specific numbers: “At least six women every day are raped, sexually harassed or forced into marriage to a Muslim man under the threat of death for their Christian faith…”
And you can count on it coming to our shores. It may be at the hands of Muslims, or it may be at the hands of socialists who want us to worship the state. While waiters or waitresses might wait respectfully in the wings while you pray over your food with family at restaurants today, praying might be a catalyst for Muslim gangs to target you after your meal in a new years. My youngest son has been to Iraq. Ask him how Muslims view Christians.
If you’re a Christian, do away with that silly, childish notion that Jesus was a long haired Bohemian, peacenik, pacifist, flower child hippie.
Buy guns. Be prepared to use them.

11 per day doesn’t ring true. Getting reliable numbers on faith motivated killings can’t be easy. I’d guess the true number to be at least 5 times higher.

In the early 80s, I worked for Aramco, the Arabian American Oil Co. Early in my employment, I was sent from Houston to Dhahran SA for one month as an orientation. I tell people it was the longest year-and-a-half of my life.
Later, I was offered a transfer to The Great Sandbox. A single moment’s contemplation of my wife, three daughters, and our female cat made it easy for me to decline the opportunity.
I could have made lots of $$$, though, and many others chose that path.

I spoke to a woman not long ago about muslim immigration into the USA. She is of the LDS faith and sees absolutely no problem with the importation of a murderous cult into our country. A true believer in the magic dirt civic nationalist con game.
I asked her if she had ever read the Koran or if she knew anything at all about Islam. She said one of her children’s teachers was a muslim and that the teacher was very nice. To quote John Derbyshire: ” We are doomed.”

Europe is already at the point that only a genocide that would make Hitler blush can save it.
What makes anyone think it won’t get to that point over here?

Thanks to the so-called “Red-Green Alliance,” which has united the Cultural Marxists of the Left with Islam, the foes you reference are one-and-the-same. The most-unlikely of political bed-fellows, the hajjis and the leftists will sort out their differences after their common enemy – western civilization and its inhabitants – have been vanquished.
My hunch is that the leftists, once they gain a true understanding of Islam, will hurry to convert to Mohammedism. It is already fashionable – even chic – in progressive (leftist) circles to say the shahada and convert to Islam. A trend which will only accelerate, given events in real time.
