It certainly is odd the way modern western societies react to the slaughter of innocents these days. Seems it’s all a question of one’s faith.
 
In a place called Christchurch, New Zealand, 49 Muslims are killed by a couple lunatics. In response, the prime minister dons a hijab, confiscates all guns (leaving the population vulnerable to other lunatics), and the whole country practically converts to Islam.
 
 
Troubling signs New Zealand shooting is being used to turn my country into Islamic State ~ It’s actually quite frightening to see how fast New Zealand is embracing dhimmitude ~

• The thought police are out in full force and people are being scrutinized for “hate speech”. Green ribbons are being worn as a symbol against hate.
 
• Vigils are being held all over the place in solidarity with the victims. These seem to have morphed into what amounts to support for the Islamic religion.
 
• Whitcoulls, one of our book stores, probably the oldest, has removed Jordan Peterson’s book “12 Rules for Life” from its shelves because he was photographed with a member of the public wearing an anti-Islamic t-shirt while he was in New Zealand recently. Apparently, that’s being construed as him having something to do with the madman’s agenda.
 
• On Tuesday a Muslim prayer was said in Parliament. Just recently all Christian prayer in Parliament was removed.
 
• On Friday March 22 at 1:30pm New Zealand will be called to prayer…Islamic prayer that is. And we will be expected to keep 2 minutes silence after they read the Muslim prayer acknowledging Allah as “great” and Muhammad as his “prophet.” The call to prayer will be broadcasted on national radio stations and TV as well.

 
All this because of course – as we all know – Islam is a Religion-of-Peace. Well, except in countries like Afghanistan, and Somalia, and Pakistan, and Sudan, and Eritrea, and Iran…) and Nigeria ~ Islamic Terrorists Ramp up Attacks on Nigerian Christians ~

Islamic terrorists killed more than 120 Christians and burned dozens of homes in northern Nigeria in a series of attacks they have waged since February.
 
ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram militants and Muslim Fulani tribesmen have hammered Christian villages in the Kaduna, Benue and Borno state, spurred on partly by Kaduna Gov. Nasir El-Rufai’s dubious claims that 133 people, mostly Fulani, were murdered on the eve of Nigeria’s presidential elections. The Nigerian Emergency Management Agency refuted his claim, calling it “a rumor to instigate violence.”
 
Nigerian Christian leaders and advocacy groups like Save The Persecuted Christians have repeatedly urged President Donald Trump to intervene and help bring an end to the attacks, specifically by appointing a U.S. special envoy to Nigeria. Father Peter John Wumbadi, who leads St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Michika and witnessed Boko Haram’s March 18 attack on the village, also pleaded for help, claiming Nigerian government sources spread misinformation about the attacks.
 
“I appeal to President Trump to be proactive in urging our country’s government to alleviate the Boko Haram problem. That means to listen to the masses who are at the level where the violence is happening. Because most of the time there is not enough sincere information coming from the government,” Wumbadi said, according to Washington Examiner […]
 
Muslim Fulani militants killed 52 Christians and burned at least 100 homes in villages in the Maro district of the Kajuru Local Government Area in Kaduna state March 11, according to Christian Post. Witnesses reported the Fulani attacked in three groups — one setting fire to homes, another shooting villagers, and another designated to chase down those who tried to flee.

 
Where were the front page banner headlines? The world-wide condemnation? The calls for weapons’ confiscation in Nigeria? You missed them too?

Father Peter John Wumbadi told (Washington Examiner Douglas Burton) he “heard bomb blasts and lots of stray bullets,” which motivated him to pack six students from the parish school into his SUV and drive past burning buildings and crowds of panicked citizens who were running for cover.
 
“After that attack, I came to visit the villages in the two-mile area around my church, and it was like a cemetery,” said Father Ikeh, weeping. “More than 150 people had been murdered.”

Where are the tears-prayers-vigils-ribbons for these people?
 

Aid to the Church in Need, in its latest “Religious Freedom Report”, warned that 300 million Christians, overwhelmingly in the majority-Muslim countries, were subjected to violence, making it “the most persecuted religion in the world.”
 
The Voice of Europe reports that the odds of a Christian in a majority-Muslim country being murdered by a Muslim – simply for being what he or she is – are approximately one in 70,000. Which means that a Christian living in a majority Muslim country is 143 times more likely to be killed by a Muslim for being a Christian than a Muslim is likely to be killed by a non-Muslim in a Western country for being what he or she is.

 
Meanwhile, in another western, formerly-Christian nation ~ British Government Rules Christianity Is Not a Religion of Peace, Rejects Convert ~

[Nov. 2018 – UK] The Home Office has rejected the asylum application of a Christian convert from Iran who said they had been drawn to the faith by its peaceful nature, due to a Government official ruling that Christianity is not peaceful.
 
The applicant indicated that they had converted to Christianity from Islam because of its peaceful nature, stating that “In Islam there is violence, rage and revenge. In Christianity in the contrary it is talking about peace, forgiveness and kindness.”

 
The incredibly dense – or extremely deceitful – official who rejected the convert’s appeal, used scripture such as Matthew 10:34, in which Jesus proclaims he “did not come to bring peace, but a sword” to claim Christianity was actually militant. (For the record, Christ meant that the gospel message – though it is essentially peaceful – is at odds with worldly ways, and would mean persecution and even martyrdom for His followers.)

“I am extremely concerned that a Government department could determine the future of another human being based on such a profound misunderstanding of the texts and practices of faith communities,” commented Paul Butler, Bishop of Durham for the Church of England.

 
Satan has always loved to twist God’s Word as well. But of course, he’s the one we’re really facing in this ongoing battle between darkness and light.
