Guess what Christian Zionists, Jews don't like you

Every time I see Christians supporting Israel, it makes me feel that they don't care of the fact that many Christians Palestinians are discriminated against, are not allowed to visit their own sacred sites, and have their land stolen.

I guess that Christian Zionist don't care for those of the faith, but they love Israel, Jews, are fascinated by them. This is the same thing that Paul fought against in Galatians, Christians wanting to be Jews.

Well, now we can see that all their "loving" for Israel falls on hearts of stone.The Huffington Post reports on this.

Jewish Americans hold more favorable views of Mormons and Muslims than those belonging to the "Christian Right," according to a recently published survey on Jewish values.
The findings were part of the "2012 Jewish Values Survey," which was published on April 3 by the non-Jewish Public Religion Research Institute. For the study, researchers asked 1,000 Jewish Americans to rate how favorably they view Mormons, Muslims, and members of the so-called "Christian Right" on a scale of 1 to 100.
Of the three groups, Mormons received the highest favorability rating of 47%, followed by the Muslims at 41.4%. The Christian Right, on the hand, received a much lower favorability rating of 20.9%.

 That's right, you read right, Jews in America rather side with their mortal enemies, the Muslims!!!!

"Social views of Christian conservatives have been drawing attention in recent months as an increasingly significant part of the Republican presidential primary discourse," Nathan Guttman wrote in the Daily Forward. "Attempts by GOP candidates to prove their conservative credentials in order to win over the Christian right have had, experts believe, an adverse effect on the Jewish community, turning it away from the Republican Party."

That's right!! Just in case you didn't know, American Jews overwhelmingly support gay rights, abortion, and all the other liberal agendas, that conservatives hold so dear. There may be another reason:

We suspect that Jews' warmth toward Mormons stems from solidarity with another group that is small and subject to intolerance. Jews and Mormons are the two American groups most likely to report that other people disparage their religious beliefs.

And a fellow Mormon, gives some reasons why there may be a preference from Jews to the Mormons:

"Of course, the survey also shows that Mormons have their work cut out for them when it comes to strengthening relationships with Jews. After all, 47 points out of 100 isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement," Paredes wrote. "That said, Mormons do have a big advantage over Evangelicals when it comes to Jews: Given our belief that we are covenant Israelites, our respect for Judaism is as strong as our support for Israel. When Evangelicals can say the same, they will have more success with Jewish outreach." 

So there you go, keep on spending your time, and empty "spiritual" force on people who are so aligned against the Gospel. Once Christians start preaching the Gospel to Jews, then that kind of support is the one that they need so badly.

I've said it once, I will say again, that "Christian" Zionism, is not Christianity, period!!!!

What do Muslims and Jews have in common? They oppose the Christmas trees in Bethlehem!!

That's right, you read right. And this is for you, all my Zionist friends who think that Israel today can do no wrong, and that you rather be on the side of Israel, unbelievers, than being on the side of your fellow brothers and sisters. Check this out:

The mayor of Nazareth Illit, an Israeli town with an Arab Christian minority, has declared a ban on the public display of Christmas trees. "Nazareth Illit is a Jewish city and it will not happen--not this year and not next year, so long as I am a mayor," Mayor Shimon Gapso said. Arab Christians, who make up about 7 percent of the town's 40,000 residents, were denied their request to put up Christmas trees in their neighborhoods.

 That's right, my Zionist friends, there are Arab Christians who suffer for their faith both from Muslims, and you dearly beloved Jewish people. Finally both Jews and Muslims have found a common enemy, Christians!!

And if yo don't believe me, hear it from other christians:

His decision angered the town's Arab and Christian minority, who accused him of racism. "The racism of not putting a tree up is nothing compared to the real racism that we experience here," said Aziz Dahdal, a 35-year-old Christian resident of Nazareth Illit.
"When we asked the mayor to put up a Christmas tree in the Arab neighbourhoods of Nazareth Illit he said this is a Jewish town, not a mixed town," said Shukri Awawdeh, a Muslim Arab member of the town council. ... "We told him that decorating a tree is just to share the happiness and cheer with other people in the town," said Awawdeh.

 So, racism under the radar, or is it ok because it is done against Christians???

Can you imagine banning Menorah's for Hanukah? Jews would be crying out loud claiming they are being discriminated against. And as Muslims banning the name of Jesus Christ from phone texts, this is just another example how other religions, including Judaism, has it against Christianity.

Fox news can't have it either way. They love to justify Israel for every single atrocity it does, and at the same time they are running their "war against Christmas" campaign. I would like to see what they are going to do!!!

In Algeria, you can't worship as a Christian in your own home unless it is registered

As we can in the last two posts that I have made, the situation for Christians is very grim in the Middle East and North Africa. Algeria is a very hard place to practice your faith. Christians are place in jailed for not worshipping in "registered" places of worship.

ALGIERS, ALGERIA (BosNewsLife)-- Five Algerian Christians remained jailed in north-eastern Algeria Tuesday, November 1, after they were reportedly detained this weekend for "worshiping in an unregistered location."
Another Christian, a minor, was released and placed on probation following Saturday's raid in a village near the town of Bougous in north-eastern El Tarf province bordering Tunisia, news reports said.

Christians are not even allowed to worship in the privacy of their own homes:
The arrests were made under legislation introduced in 2006 to regulate the worship of non-Muslims by requiring churches to obtain government permission to hold services, Christians said.

It also states that Christians must worship in recognized buildings, not houses or apartments.

We are called to obey the law as Christians, but this law is just an intrusion of people's privacy.

Even though the government gives the "freedom" for Christians to register their buildings, this legal right is not taken seriously:

Aidan Clay, ICC Regional Manager for the Middle East, noted that “While progress was made earlier this year when the Algerian government permitted the EPA to apply for registration" provincial authorities "are undermining that decision by detaining Christians on baseless charges and denying congregations their...right to worship freely."

Just like in Egypt, Christians have nominal "freedom", but at the end of the day, those freedoms don't count when they want to practice their Christianity.

And we are talking about normal people, not Taliban or Al Qaeda radicals. This is what a normal, average, muslim citizen does.

We better take a second look at what's really happening in these, newly "liberated" countries.

Apparently, it's not only the MIddle East that Muslims want to bring their Spring to.

Time and time again, we see how Muslims want to bully us in the West to conform to their ideology. Given, I also acknowledge that the West for a long time, has been trying to impose democracy and capitalism in their lands by force or plain subversion, but these people don't seem to have a problem by being so confrontational against Westerners, and Christians.

If you don't believe me, Newt Gingrich has responded to the lawsuit brought against the Catholic University of America by some muslims studying there. And the reason for the lawsuit? Because they don't feel comfortable studying with so many crosses around.

This is what Gingrich said in a speech in South Carolina:

"We now have a lawsuit apparently by some Muslim students at Catholic University who are offended being at a Catholic university. Now my first answer to them is 'Fine, don't go to a Catholic university.'"
His comments drew applause. Gingrich was referring to allegations that Catholic University of America is illegally discriminating against Muslim students by "denying them access to benefits that other student groups enjoy," and, in particular, not providing space for daily prayers so that they have to pray in classrooms or campus chapels where they are surrounded by Catholic symbols. The charges are currently being reviewed by the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights.

Couldn't they get a grip? If they don't want to see crosses, well, they should not go to the Catholic University of America. It's like going to the USA, yet, being offended by seeing the American flag all over the place.

He continues:

Gingrich challenged the "people who filed the lawsuit," asking rhetorically, "Are you prepared to sponsor a Christian missionary in Mecca? Because if you're not prepared to sponsor religious liberty in Saudi Arabia, don't come and nag us with some hypocritical baloney. So I think we need to be prepared to stand firm for genuine religious liberty, not for something that's anti-Christian."

Yes, I never thought I would agree with Gingrich in one thing, but I do on this. While American, British and Australian lives are being lost in Afghanistan for their "freedom" to practice Islam not the Taliban 's way, they don't show us the same courtesy. If not, look at this past post of mine.

The news item finishes with Gingrich's words:

"People say, well isn't this great, we're having an Arab Spring. Well I don't know, I think we may in fact be having an anti-Christian spring. I think people should actually be taking this pretty soberly."

There's still more news of this nature, how the Muslims, in their new found freedom, have tried to abolish Christianity, and Christians from their lands.

Gingrich words are sober, and also refer to a previous entry I have made on this blog:

 "What I would do is I would actively try to defend religious liberty across the planet, including in Egypt, in Iraq. Look, the number of Christians left in Iraq dropped from a million 200 thousand to five hundred thousand after we liberated the country."

May the West open its eyes, and see that if they support other people's freedoms, it may end up costing our own, since those people don't share our sense of justice, or our sense of freedom for all, not just for muslims.

Persecuted Christians fret as U.S. Iraq pullout nears

Killed by wearing a Cross in Egypt. Here in Australia is a fashion!

I would like to comment on some abuses done against christians around the world. In this post, I will be pointing out the killing of a Christian in Egypt. His crime, wearing a crucifix. This is the result of the "Arab Spring". There's a movement now in the Middle East that has been attacking Christians for their faith. Liberation from dictators turned out to be the worst thing that could ever happened to Christians in the Middle East.

This news item is very revealing as to what the West has been supporting:

In mid-October Egyptian media published news of an altercation between Muslim and Christian students over a classroom seat at a school in Mallawi, Minya province.
The altercation lead to the murder of a Christian student. The media portrayed the incident as non-sectarian. However, Copts Without Borders, a Coptic news website, refuted this version and was first to report that the Christian student was murdered because he was wearing a crucifix."We wanted to believe the official version," said activist Mark Ebeid, "because the Coptic version was a catastrophe, as it would take persecution of Christians also to schools." He blamed the church in Mallawi for keeping quiet about the incident.
Today the parents of the 17-year-old Christian student Ayman Nabil Labib, broke their silence, confirming that their son was murdered on October 16, in "cold blood because he refused to take off his crucifix as ordered by his Muslim teacher." Nabil Labib, the father, said in a taped video interview with Copts United NGO, that his son had a cross tattooed on his wrist as per Coptic tradition, as well as another cross which he wore under his clothes.The altercation lead to the murder of a Christian student.

"They beat my son so much in the classroom that he fled to the lavatory on the ground floor, but they followed him and continued their assault. When one of the supervisors took him to his room, Ayman was still breathing. The ambulance transported him from there dead, one hour later."

A teacher supported attack? Aren't teachers supposed to teach students to live in harmony? They wanted to cover up this incident as just a violent incident, but now we know better.

In the West, we are always told that schools are places of safety. Apparently in Egypt, if you are a Christian, this is not true.

What sort of ideology or religion drives a teacher to force a student to take off a crucifix, because he or she finds it offensive? And to top it all, invites other students to beat up the student to death for not following his or her directions?

If something like this would take place in a Western countries, Muslims countries would be up in arms, killing other Christians in their countries, and burning churches. An independent commentator wrote in an independent:

Prominent columnist Farida El-Shobashy wrote in independent newspaper Masry Youm "I was shaken to the bones when I read the news that a teacher forced a student to take off the crucifix he wore, and when the Christian student stood firm for his rights, the teacher quarreled with him, joined by some of the students; he was beastly assaulted until his last breath left him." She wondered if the situation was reversed and a Muslim was killed for not removing the Koran he wore, what would have been the reaction.

The reaction would have been what I just mentioned.

In my next article, we will see how Muslims come to Western countries, and demand that their rights be respected, but don't extend that courtesy to Christian foreigners in their land, and to their shame, not even to the Christian citizens that live in their country.

So the "Arab Spring", is becoming an "Arab Hell" for Christians. In my next entry, I will see this issue, now from an American point of view.
