- If an imam
violently protests something, the liberal elite always supports the
false charge of "Islamophobia." If a peaceful protest is
led by a Catholic bishop, the same elite always rejects it under the
name of "freedom of expression."
- The
"Caliph" of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,
ridiculed by Charlie Hebdo, triggered self-censorship because
of "hate speech," while the work of Chris Ofili "The
Holy Virgin Mary," in which the mother of Jesus is covered with
feces and images of genitalia, was defended by the New York Times
as "free speech." Does this now mean that some religions
are more equal than others?
- On Halloween
night, only the "Sexy Nun" is available, while
"Caliph" Baghdadi can rape his Yazidi and Christian sex
slaves with impunity.
Spot the offensive costume -- or the hypocrisy.
Online retailer Amazon removed the "Sexy Burka" costume (left)
after accusations of "Islamophobia." But despite the protests
of many Catholics customers, the "Sexy Nun" (right) is still on
sale at Amazon.
The world's biggest shopping portal, Amazon, sells many Halloween
costumes. One of the novelties in 2016 has been the "Sexy
Burka", the typical obscurantist cloak that the Taliban and the
Islamic State impose on women. But the sexy burqa, which on Amazon UK was
priced at £18.99, did not last long.
The commercial colossus of Jeff Bezos removed the item from the
website, after Amazon had been swamped with accusations of
"racism", "Islamophobia," of marketing an Islamic
garment with the white face of a model and using "a religious
garment for commercial purposes". "You are disgusting, my
culture is not your costume", wrote many users of the Islamic faith.
Others used a less adorable tone: "Whoever you are, you should fear
Allah. This is not a joke."

- In the last
four years, more than 100 Christian pastors and other religious officials
have been deported from Turkey, and banned from reentering.
- "When
Jesus reached 30 years of age, Allah gave him the duty of being a
prophet. He then began inviting people to believe in Allah." —
Turkish textbook on Christianity.
- "[R]eligious
minority students are faced with the option of taking the class or
sitting alone somewhere else on the school premises during the
classes, thus separating them from their peers and singling out
their religious differences." — U.S. Commission on International
Religious Freedom, Turkey Textbook Report.
- It is high time
that the activists of the global "human rights community"
condemned or at least publicly discussed this "culture of
hate" in the Muslim communities -- and particularly the
Christianophobia.

American pastors in Turkey are being arrested hand over fist.
American Pastor Andrew Brunson, of the Resurrection Protestant
Church, was arrested in Izmir (Smyrna)on October 7 alongside his wife,
Norine Lyn Brunson, for "threatening the national security of
Turkey." Brunson is expected to be deported in 15 days. The couple
is still being held in detention.
Turkish authorities also seized the residence permit of Ryan D.
Keating, an American student pursuing a PhD in the philosophy of religion
at Ankara University. Keating is a Christian who heads the Ankara Refugee
Ministry for the Kurtulus Church. While he was leaving Turkey for work
purposes, he was told at the airport that his residence permit in Turkey
had been cancelled in September for "national security",
meaning that he will not be able to reenter the country. His wife and
children are still in Ankara.

- The Obama
administration has taken in 5,435 Muslim refugees, but only 28
Christians -- even though Christians are approximately 10 percent of
Syria's population and are classified as experiencing a genocide
there.
- The logic of
the pope's statement seems to be that violence done that contradicts
the Judeo-Christian God's commandments -- such as the murder of
wives and mothers-in-law -- is identical to violence done in accord
with Allah's commandments to wage jihad on "infidels."
- One million
Christian children whose families have been displaced or affected by
the violent activities of Boko Haram and Muslim Fulani herdsmen are
starving. Boko Haram's seven-year rebellion has left 20,000 people
dead and more than two million displaced. — Nigeria.
- One social
media posting by the Islamic State showed a picture of a young girl
with the caption: "Virgin. Beautiful. 12 years old... Her price
has reached $12,500 and she will be sold soon."
- Countless
reports continued to appear indicating that non-Muslim students,
most often Christians, are being forced to convert to Islam through
the public school system. Teachers force them to recite the shahada
-- which when said before Muslim witnesses makes them a Muslim. —
Pakistan.
- The government
is trying to "cleanse" the nation of Christians and create
a homogenous Muslim state. — Sudan.
Father Jacques Hamel was murdered in France on July
26, in the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, by Islamic jihadists.
As the Muslim persecution of Christians continues to reach critical
proportions around the world (see report below), the average American
shows much more concern than the current administration. Soon after it
was revealed that the Obama administration has taken in 5,435 Muslim
refugees, but only 28 Christians -- even though Christians are
approximately 10 percent of Syria's population and are classified as
experiencing a genocide there. A poll found that more than three-quarters
of American respondents agreed with the statement: "It is important
to me that the next US President be committed to addressing the
persecution that some Christians face around the world (e.g.:
imprisonment, beheadings, rape, loss of home and assets)."
