Resisting Islam.

Why Do Middle Eastern Refugees Vandalise Christian Structures?


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has often argued that Christian Europe should admit more Muslim refugees. 

"I'll tell you strictly Muslim-to-Muslim. These (European social workers) are funny. I don't know why on earth they are in love with a Muslim cause that even we Muslims despise." - Syrian migrant to the author, Lesbos, Greece.

"The Syrian refugee crisis in lands stretching from the Middle East into the heart of Europe is another episode in a grandiose, multi-faceted Middle Eastern dilemma: Muslims in this part of the world view the Christian West as 'evil;' yet they know Christian lands are the most decent places to live economically and politically." - Burak Bekdil, 2015.

The local population on the Greek island of Lesbos has been extremely helpful to all Muslim migrants, but recent clashes there show the more realistic side of the Muslim immigration into Christian lands.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September, launched a scathing attack on the European Union. He accused the EU of having not done enough to support the refugees and claimed that the EU should pay Turkey more than it pledged (three billion euros).

Erdoğan has often argued that Christian Europe should admit more Muslim refugees. In a 2016 speech, he angrily threatened to open the floodgates of migrants into Europe again (in 2015 alone, three quarters of a million migrants passed through Turkey on their way to Europe).

Is Erdoğan using the mostly Syrian migrants as a bargaining chip to recalibrate his country's failed admission to the EU? Is he simply carpet-trading by trying to maximize the amount of European money coming as aid into Turkey? No doubt, but not only that. His Islamist ideology dictates that the number of Muslims living in all corners of the Old Continent should one day herald a demographic victory for Islam.

"Occupying infidel lands" by the force of sword was an Ottoman idea. Occupying infidel lands through demographics is one of the features of post-modern Islamism, as Muslim nations, unlike the Ottoman Empire, lack the military might needed for military invasion.

Recent events on the Greek island of Lesbos, where the welcoming local population has been extremely helpful to all Muslim migrants, show the more realistic side of the Muslim immigration into Christian lands. Even Pope Francis visited the mostly Syrian migrants in two camps on the island of Lesbos in April 2016 to express his solidarity with them and raise awareness regarding their plight.

In April, however, serious clashes between migrants and locals were reported in the main square of Mytilene, the chief port town of Lesbos. For about a week, migrants occupied the main square to protest their conditions. The demonstrations first sparked the anger of locals, and then some far-right groups who wanted the square cleared.

The clashes were followed by more serious news. A television report by Deutsche Welle claimed that criminal gangs of Syrians sympathetic to the Islamic State (ISIS) had established a reign of terror in the Moria migrant camp on Lesbos. The report, partly shot in secret, showed pro-ISIS slogans on the walls of the overcrowded camp.

Apparently, it was not only the inhumane conditions at the Moria camp about which the migrants felt sick. Unidentified migrant groups vandalized a crucifix on Lesbos. Only a few days later, and in a second act of desecrating Orthodox symbols, extremist Muslims on the island vandalized and destroyed a small proskinitari (a small shrine that holds an icon).

This much tension on an otherwise peaceful Greek island does not happen without a reason. In 2017, a Syrian migrant on Lesbos told this author, "I'll tell you strictly Muslim-to-Muslim. These [European social workers] are funny. I don't know why on earth they are in love with a Muslim cause that even we Muslims despise."

The same year on the same island to the same author, an Afghan said, "One day, we good Muslims will conquer their infidel lands."

At the start of the refugee crisis in 2015, you can read in this journal:

"The Syrian refugee crisis in lands stretching from the Middle East into the heart of Europe is another episode in a grandiose, multi-faceted Middle Eastern dilemma: Muslims in this part of the world view the Christian West as 'evil;' yet they know Christian lands are the most decent places to live economically and politically. Wealthy Arab states rigidly turn their back on the plight of fellow Muslims who are in need of a helping hand; and Islamist hypocrites blame it all on the West." 

Three years later, it is truer than ever.

Pakistan: Mentally Disabled Christian Sentenced to Life in Prison for Blasphemy Against Islam


If the enemedia narrative were true, moderate Muslims all over Pakistan would be racing to defend Yaqoob Bashir, and standing with him against these false blasphemy charges. Where is the Moderate Muslim movement, either in Pakistan or anywhere else?

At any rate, Europeans and Americans can expect these kinds of arrests and prosecutions in the future, and sooner than most people think. It's why Western elites and enemedia sharia advocates blamed us when jihadists tried to kill us all in Garland, Texas. It's why the FBI did nothing to stop it. Because the laws that are being used to persecute Yaqoob Bashir are the same laws that the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation is trying to intimidate the West into adopting, and that so many Westerners are willing to accept voluntarily in exchange for a false sense of security.

Yaqoob Bashir needs our help. Please publicise his plight on any platform you have. The more attention we call to these human rights abuses, the better chance we have of getting the perpetrators to stop, and give justice to people such as Yaqoob Bashir and so many others like him.

"Mentally Disabled Pakistani Christian Sentenced to Life in Prison," International Christian Concern, October 24, 2018:

10/24/2018 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) - On September 28, Yaqoob Bashir, a 25-year-old mentally disabled Pakistani Christian, was sentenced to life in prison by the Session and District Court of Mirpurkhas for allegedly committing blasphemy against Islam. This life sentence was issued more than three years after the initial blasphemy accusation was leveled against Bashir in 2015.

Bashir was first accused of burning a booklet that carried Quranic verses in Mirpurkhas in June 2015. The case was registered (FIR # 41/15) against Bashir, under Section 295-B and C of Pakistan's Penal Code on June 5, 2015. Bashir was reportedly receiving treatment at a mental health facility in Hyderabad prior to the blasphemy accusation.

Last month, the court sentenced Bashir under Section 295-C of Pakistan's Penal Code, which punishes individuals for using derogatory language against the prophet Muhammad. However, he was found innocent under Section 295-B, which punishes individuals for desecrating the Quran.

Collectively, Sections 295 A, B, and C comprise Pakistan's notorious blasphemy laws. Many human rights advocates who monitor Pakistan have reported on the widespread abuse of these blasphemy laws. Often, false accusations are made to settle personal scores or incite religious hatred against minority communities. Mob violence and lynchings often follow blasphemy accusations against Christians, even if those accusations are clearly false.

During Bashir's three years and three months of imprisonment prior to his conviction, approximately 96 hearings were conducted as a part of his trial. During this period, Bashir was attacked by fellow inmates on several occasions. In June 2018, he was brutally beaten by fellow inmates for praying in their shared jail cell and sustained multiple injuries.

The young Christian also found little sympathy from the courts as his appeals for bail were twice rejected, once by the Session Court and then again by the High Court of Hyderabad. While awaiting trial, Bashir suffered from multiple serious illnesses due to the poor conditions in jail and the lack of adequate medical care from jail authorities.

Since the day Bashir was accused of blasphemy, his family has been continuously monitored by extremist groups. These groups have repeatedly threatened and harassed them during court hearings.

"It's unbearable and unjust," Kasur Bibi, Bashir's mother, told International Christian Concern (ICC). "My son is innocent. He did not insult or do blasphemy. He does not care much of these issues as his mind works differently than that of a normal person's."...

Tommy Robinson "I'm being censored for telling the truth about Islam"

Tommy Robinson was removed from Twitter for criticizing Islam.
Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood have active Twitter accounts, but not Tommy Robinson.
The hypocrisy of the left and the political elite reached a new low.
Sharia blasphemy law is being enforced on social media.
There is an attempt to restrict freedom of speech in the West by criminalizing criticism of Islam.
Canada and Britain will be the first western countries to adopt Sharia blasphemy law.
If you care about your freedom of speech, watch & share this video. 

Liberals and leftists in the West use the made up term "Islamophobia" to portray anyone who criticizes Islam as a "racist".
Radical Muslim terrorists all over the world carry out terror attacks "in the name of Allah".
They justify their violence by quoting verses from the Quran.
Islamophobia is a made up word created by the Muslim Brotherhood specifically to silence debate.
Liberals and leftists ignore the fact that Islam is an ideology that has nothing to do with race.
Islamophobia is a neologism created to silence any possible debate about the problems Islamic extremism has got with modernity, with the intention of using the collective post-colonial "guilt" to exempt a particular set of beliefs from scrutiny, analysis and criticism.
It's a buzzword used in an attempt to silence anyone, whenever had legit questions or criticisms about the religion.
Islam is not a race. It's a religion.There is an attempt in the West to impose a sharia-blasphemy law to criminalize criticism of Islam.
It started when Saudi Arabia and Muslim countries tried to pass a UN resolution to force Western states to criminalize criticism of Islam.
The Parliament in Canada passed "Motion M-103" to condemn the so-called "Islamophobia (Fear of Islam)" in a preparation for a blasphemy law in Canada.
According to the sharia blasphemy law anyone who criticizes Islam or the Prophet Muhammad should be killed.
Under Sharia blasphemy law in Saudi Arabia and Iran Muslims are executed if they are accused of blasphemy.
In Pakistan, the situation is even worse, radical Muslims use the blasphemy law to persecute the Christian minority.
Is this the law the liberals in the West want to adopt?
If you think Sharia blasphemy law has no place in the West, share this post!

Spain: Islamic State Recruiting in Prisons.

The group - which Spain's Interior Ministry described as a jihadi "Prisons Front" ("frente de cárceles") - was engaged in recruiting, indoctrinating and radicalizing other inmates, as well as in plotting new jihadi attacks.

"We want to prepare ourselves for the jihad for Allah. I have good news: I have created a new group, we are willing to die for Allah at any moment. We are waiting to be released from prison so that we can begin working. We have men, we have weapons and we have targets. All we need is practice." - Mohamed Achraf, in a letter written from prison to another inmate.

"The majority of the individuals being investigated, far from being deradicalized, have not only remained active in jihadi militancy, but have become even more radical during their incarceration." - Spanish Interior Ministry. 

On October 1, Spanish counterterrorism police searched Mohamed Achraf's prison cell in Campos del Río penitentiary in Murcia and discovered that he was running a "disciplined and organized" network of jihadi inmates dedicated to recruiting and radicalizing other inmates, as well as to plotting attacks against specific targets.

Spanish police have dismantled a jihadi network operating inside and across more than a dozen Spanish prisons. The network, allegedly linked to the Islamic State, was established and operated by one of the most implacable jihadis in the Spanish prison system - apparently under the noses of prison authorities.

The network's existence has called into question not only the effectiveness of security procedures in Spanish prisons, but also of Spanish "deradicalization" programs, which are aimed at "rehabilitating" Islamic militants for eventual "reinsertion" into society.

The group's core members included 25 jihadis in 17 different prisons (accounting for more than half of the 30 Spanish prisons equipped to house jihadi convicts), according to the Interior Ministry, which provided details of the counterterrorism operation on October 2.

The group - which the Interior Ministry described as a jihadi "Prisons Front" ("frente de cárceles") - was engaged in recruiting, indoctrinating and radicalizing other inmates, as well as in plotting new jihadi attacks.

The network's members included convicted jihadis as well as common inmates who were radicalized in prison. Among them were several Spanish citizens who are converts to Islam. Some members were nearing the end of their sentences and were waiting to be released from prison.

The group's ringleader, Mohamed Achraf, a 44-year-old Moroccan whose real name is Abderramane Tahiri, was serving a 14-year prison sentence for plotting truck bomb attacks against high-profile targets in Madrid, including the Spanish Supreme Court and the Príncipe Pío railway station.

Achraf was scheduled to be released from prison on October 14, 2018 - almost four years early. He was incarcerated in 2008 and served most of his sentence by being moved from one prison to another, a standard protocol aimed at preventing Islamists from establishing a foothold in any one facility and radicalizing other inmates. In February 2018, Achraf was transferred to the Campos del Río penitentiary in Murcia, where he was held in solitary confinement.

On October 1, counterterrorism police searched Achraf's prison cell and discovered that he was running a "disciplined and organized" network of jihadi inmates dedicated to recruiting and radicalizing other inmates, as well as to plotting attacks against specific targets.

The Interior Ministry said that the network carried out its activities through physical interaction between inmates within the same prisons, as well as through "epistolary relationships" among inmates located in different prisons. The network evaded monitoring mechanisms by carrying out communications through the use of inmates who were not subject to special surveillance.

The Murcia-based newspaper La Verdad, quoting police sources, reported that Achraf will likely be prosecuted for new terrorism offenses and, rather than be released early, will be held in preventive detention.

Achraf has a long history of jihadi militancy in Spain. During an earlier prison sentence, served between 1999 and 2002 at the Topas penitentiary in Salamanca, Achraf organized a similar jihadi network - called "Martyrs for Morocco" - which operated inside and across at least five Spanish prisons. The network consisted of four cells that were, according to prosecutors, "perfectly structured and connected to each other."

After the 2004 Madrid train bombings, in which 193 people were killed and 2,000 others injured, Spanish authorities launched a nationwide crackdown on Islamic fundamentalists. A counterterrorism operation - Operation Nova - resulted in the arrest of 36 jihadis, including several members of Achraf's network. Investigators found correspondence which revealed that Achraf was plotting to bomb the Audiencia Nacional, the upper court in Madrid where judicial authorities were investigating the Madrid train bombings.

Investigators also found correspondence between Achraf and other jihadis, including a letter that stated: "Muslims now have two places to go: jail or jihad." Another letter read:

"We want to prepare ourselves for the jihad for Allah. I have good news: I have created a new group, we are willing to die for Allah at any moment. We are waiting to be released from prison so that we can begin working. We have men, we have weapons and we have targets. All we need is practice."

In April 2005, Achraf was extradited to Spain from Switzerland, where he fled after his release from prison, and where he unsuccessfully sought asylum by claiming to be Palestinian.

In February 2008, Achraf was sentenced to 14 years in prison for "promoting and directing a terrorist group." During his trial, the court learned how Achraf, who referred to himself as "Emir," used a makeshift mosque in a prison gymnasium to "indoctrinate" other inmates in the hardline Salafist-takfiri jihadist ideology promoted by the Islamic State.

Given Achraf's history of Salafi-jihadism, and his previous efforts to proselytize and indoctrinate inmates during his first stint in prison, it remains unclear why Spanish authorities allowed him to establish another, even larger jihadi network during his second time in prison.

The newspaper La Verdad reported that Achraf's network "was very organized... and already had specific targets" and "had threatened certain prison officials, some of higher rank." The group had "its own iconography and slogan" and "was perfectly structured, with precise orders of action in prison courtyards and in methods of training."

Achraf's network may be just the tip of the iceberg. A recent analysis of official prison data by the online publication El Independiente found that more than 150 inmates are currently serving time in 28 different Spanish prisons for jihad-related crimes.

Nearly half (72) of the jihad-related convicts are Moroccans, followed by Spaniards (57). Other inmates are from Algeria, Argentina, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Denmark, Egypt, France, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

The most frequent crime among jihad-related convicts is membership in a terrorist group, followed by recruitment, indoctrination and training for terrorism and support for an armed group.

In addition, another 120 inmates serving time for non-jihad-related crimes are being monitored for signs of "Islamist fanaticism," according to the newspaper El País, quoting sources from the Interior Ministry.

Achraf's network has also cast a spotlight on the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of Spanish deradicalization programs for jihadi inmates. According to human rights protections guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution, such programs can only be applied on a voluntary basis.

Of the roughly 270 inmates being monitored for jihadist tendencies, only 20 are participating in deradicalization programs, according to the Spanish news agency EFE. The Interior Ministry admitted:

"The majority of the individuals being investigated, far from being deradicalized, have not only remained active in jihadi militancy, but have become even more radical during their incarceration."

Pakistan: Death or Life for Christian "Blasphemer"?


Ruling Expected on the Fate of Asia Bibi

In her memoirs, Asia Bibi wonders "whether being a Christian in Pakistan today is not just a failing, or a mark against you, but actually a crime." Her question is finally about to be answered by Pakistan's Supreme Court. 

Because the word of a Christian is not valid against the word of a Muslim, blasphemy accusations by Muslims against Christians are common and routinely result in the imprisonment, beating and even murder of Christians -- as when 1,200 Muslims deliberately burned a young Christian couple to death in 2014 for allegedly insulting Islam.

"The Maulvis [clerics] want her dead. They have announced a [monetary] prize... for anyone who kills Asia. They have even declared that if the court acquits her they will ensure the death sentence stands." - Asia Bibi's husband, Ashiq Masih. 

This is arguably why Pakistani authorities continue to delay issuing a final verdict -- to give Bibi time to die "naturally" in prison -- as other Christians have, under "mysterious" circumstances. Instead of placating the world but angering Islamists by releasing her, or placating Islamists but horrifying the world by executing her, the Pakistani judicial system has abandoned Bibi to a deathtrap of a prison cell for a decade, where wretched conditions, severe maltreatment, unattended illnesses, psychological abuse and beatings should have killed her, as they have many others before her.

Asia Bibi and two of her five children, pictured prior to her imprisonment on death row in 2010 for "blasphemy."
Asia Bibi and two of her five children, pictured prior to her imprisonment on death row in 2010 for "blasphemy."

On October 9, Pakistan's Supreme Court heard the final appeal of a Christian woman who has been on death row for nearly a decade on the accusation that she insulted Islam's prophet Muhammad. The woman's fate is now sealed: "They [judges] have come to a decision, but it has been reserved," reported Mehwish Bhatti, an officer with the British-Pakistani Christian Association, from the courthouse.

Aasiya Noreen -- better known as "Asia Bibi" -- is a 47-year-old married mother of five children who was charged with violating Pakistan's notorious blasphemy law nearly a decade ago.

According to her autobiography, Blasphemy: A Memoir: Sentenced to Death Over a Cup of Water, on June 14, 2009, Bibi went to work picking berries in a field. Although she was accustomed to being ostracized by the other female pickers on account of her Christian faith, things came to a head when, on a sweltering summer day, she drank water from a common well.

"Don't drink that water, it's haram [forbidden]!" shouted a woman nearby. She then turned to the other women working in the field workers and said, "Listen, all of you, this Christian has dirtied the water in the well by drinking from our cup and dipping it back several times. Now the water is unclean and we can't drink it! Because of her!" (Such beliefs are not uncommon in the Muslim world. In one video, an Egyptian cleric expresses his great disgust at Christians, and how he could not drink from a cup that was merely touched by a Christian.)

The argument spiraled, and the women began calling on Bibi to convert to Islam in order to save herself. "What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind?," Asia Bibi shot back.

A report summarizes what happened next:

After this, Bibi said the women started screaming, spitting at her and physically assaulting her. She ran home in a fright. Less than a week later, she went fruit-picking in another field when she was confronted by a rioting crowd, led by the woman who had initially shouted at her.
The crowd surrounded her, beat her and took her to the village, screaming: "Death! Death to the Christian!"
The village imam said: "I've been told you've insulted our Prophet. You know what happens to anyone who attacks the holy Prophet Mohammed. You can redeem yourself only by conversion or death."
She protested: "I haven't done anything. Please, I beg you, I've done nothing wrong."
Bibi was taken to the village police station, covered in blood, where police interrogated her and put a report together. She was then put into a police van and taken straight to prison.

She has been in that cell ever since.

Despite inconsistent witness testimonies, a Punjabi court sentenced her to death by hanging before cheering crowds in late 2010. Since then, "I've been locked up, handcuffed and chained, banished from the world and waiting to die," says Bibi in her smuggled memoirs. "I don't know how long I've got left to live. Every time my cell door opens my heart beats faster. My life is in God's hands and I don't know what's going to happen to me. It's a brutal, cruel existence."

There has also been the suffering of her husband and five children: "I really love her and miss her presence. I cannot sleep at night as I miss her," Ashiq Masih once explained:

"I miss her smile; I miss everything about her. She is my soulmate. I cannot see her in prison. It breaks my heart. Life has been non-existent without her... My children cry for their mother, they are broken. But I try to give them hope where I can."

All of this for asking a rhetorical question -- "What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind?" -- variants of which non-Muslims have been asking for centuries. In the late 1390s, for instance, Roman Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos responded to a group of Muslim scholars bent on converting him to Islam by saying:

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

Over 600 years later, in 2006, when Pope Benedict passingly quoted this assertion, anti-Christian riots erupted around the Muslim world, churches were burned, and an Italian nun who had devoted her life to serving the sick and needy of Somalia was murdered there.

In Pakistan, however, such "vigilante justice" is just one way of avenging the honor of Muhammad. According to Section 295-C of Pakistan's penal code:

"Whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine."

Because non-Muslims -- particularly Christians, who by definition are known to reject Muhammad's prophecy -- are more likely to be suspected of blasphemy, and because the word of a Christian is not valid against the word of a Muslim, blasphemy accusations by Muslims against Christians are common and routinely result in the imprisonment, beating and even killing of Christians (as when 1,200 Muslims deliberately burned a young Christian couple to death in 2014 for allegedly insulting Islam).

In other words, Asia Bibi's story is the notorious tip of a large but hidden iceberg. Seemingly not a month -- sometimes not even a week -- goes by in Pakistan without some Muslims accusing some Christians of insulting Muhammad, often just to settle a personal score (here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here) or to seize land (here, here, here, and here). These are followed by the usual riots, home- and church-burnings, beatings and expulsion of Christians, and, finally, arrest and imprisonment of the supposed "blasphemer."

Although Bibi's case has sparked outrage throughout the international community, all calls for her release have for nearly a decade fallen on deaf ears. This dismissal is not so much because the nation's authorities are determined to execute her -- one infidel is surely not worth the world's criticism and contempt -- but because excusing her in order to save face with the world would instantly make them lose face with many of their own. That consideration is why, whenever there is any serious talk that Bibi might be spared, protests and riots often ensue. As Bibi's husband, Ashuq Masih, a brick laborer, once explained, "The Maulvis [clerics] want her dead. They have announced a [monetary] prize ... for anyone who kills Asia. They have even declared that if the court acquits her they will ensure the death sentence stands."

Authorities sympathetic to or siding with such "blasphemers" are also targeted. Two of Asia Bibi's prominent advocates, for instance, Governor Salmaan Taseer and Minority Affairs Minister Shabaz Bhatti, were both assassinated in 2011. Taseer was shot 27 times by Mumtaz Qadri, his own bodyguard. After the murder, more than 500 Muslim clerics voiced support for Qadri, and showered him with rose petals.

This is arguably why Pakistani authorities continue to delay issuing a final verdict -- to give Bibi time to die "naturally" in prison as other Christians have, under "mysterious" circumstances. Instead of placating the world but angering Islamists by releasing her, or placating Islamists but horrifying the world by executing her, the Pakistani judicial system abandoned Bibi to a deathtrap of a prison cell for a decade, where wretched conditions, severe maltreatment, unattended illnesses, psychological abuse and beatings should have killed her, as they did many others before her.

Much to their vexation, however, "She is psychologically, physically and spiritually strong," Bibi's husband announced a few days ago. "Having a very strong faith, she is ready and willing to die for Christ. She will never convert to Islam."

In her memoirs, Bibi wonders "whether being a Christian in Pakistan today is not just a failing, or a mark against you, but actually a crime." Her question is finally about to be answered by Pakistan's supreme court.

"All around Pakistan and even many parts of the world, the sense of anticipation... regarding Asia Bibi's final appeal hearing are now at fever pitch," said Leighton Medley of the British-Pakistani Christian Association concerning Bibi's recent and final hearing. "There is a sense here in Pakistan that once again, battle lines are being drawn: the battle between those who support hatred and intolerance and those who fight for peace and justice."

Accordingly, in the last few days, Christians around the world prayed and fasted, even as extremist Muslims on social media called for riots should the "blasphemer" escape death. Either way, "There will be protests on both sides and you can bet there will be trouble ahead," Medley continued.

"It truly is D-Day for Asia, this is the final countdown and we will soon know whether the extremists win or lose. And whether there will be peace and justice in Pakistan or just more hatred, prejudice and intolerance which sadly has come to typify Pakistan today."

Iran's Idea of "Human Rights": Persecute Christians


 "If a prisoner's case got [international media] attention, they stopped torturing or raping them because they knew the world was watching...." - Mohabat News, October 23, 2017.

Until such time that Iran can show that it cares about the human rights of all -- including non-Muslims who live within its borders -- all of President Hassan Rouhani's lofty talk about rights and Palestinians must be seen for what it is: hypocrisy, lies and a political agenda. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)


In a speech before the United Nations on September 20, 2017, presumably as a way to support his claim that Israel is "a rogue and racist regime [that] trample[s] upon the most basic rights of the Palestinians," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani repeatedly portrayed his government as dedicated to "moderation and respect for human rights," adding:

"We in Iran strive to build peace and promote the human rights of peoples and nations. We never condone tyranny and we always defend the voiceless. We never threaten anyone..."

One need only look to Iran's Christians -- who form 1% of its entire population -- to test these claims. Unlike the persecution other Christian minorities experience in Muslim majority nations -- which often comes at the hands of Muslim individuals, mobs, or professional terrorists -- the primary driver of Christian persecution in Iran is the government itself.

The 2018 World Watch List, compiled by Open Doors -- a human rights organization that highlights the global persecution of Christians -- makes this clear. Iran is among the top ten worst nations where Christians experience "extreme persecution":

Whereas most persecution of Christians in the Arab Gulf region comes from society or radical Islamic groups, the main threat for believers in Iran comes from the government. The Iranian regime declares the country to be a Shia Islamic State and is constantly expanding its influence. Hardliners within the regime are vehemently opposed to Christianity, and create severe problems for Christians, particularly converts from Islam. Christians and other minorities are seen as threats to this end, and are persecuted as a result. Iranian society as a whole is more tolerant than their leadership, thanks in part due to the influence of moderate and mystical Sufi Islam.

Most of the Iranian regime's persecution seems directed against Protestant Christians and Muslim converts to branches of Christianity, such as the Evangelical, Baptist and Pentecostal strains. Because they are denied the right to build churches, Christians often resort to meeting and worshipping in secret. Reports of Iranian authorities breaking into such house-church gatherings, arresting and hauling off many, if not all, present Christians have become increasingly common.

Discussing this trend, Middle East Concern, another human rights organization, says:

A great many Iranians have been coming to Christ and it's something which the authorities are clearly very unhappy about. So there are periodic arrests, detentions, [and] imprisonments. There have been a lot of charges lately which are suggesting an even greater clampdown-sentences of 10-15 years in some cases for Christians. And usually, the authorities will suggest that this [is] the result of undermining the state or seeking to collaborate against the state and will use more political charges than say apostasy or blasphemy laws.

In June 2017, for example, four Muslim converts to Christianity, who were arrested a month earlier in raids on house-churches, were each sentenced to 10 years in prison.

"The four men were officially charged with 'acting against national security,' a catch-all charge often used by the Iranian government to punish different types of religious and political dissent. The government often uses it against converts instead of the charge of apostasy, according to freedom of religion advocates, in an attempt to avoid international scrutiny."

Most recently, another convert to Christianity, Naser Navard Gol-Tapeh, inquired about the charge for which he was convicted, "Action against national security through the establishment of house churches." In an August 2018 open letter to the Iranian court that sentenced him to ten years in prison, he asked:

"...is the fellowship of a few Christian brothers and sisters in someone's home, singing worship songs, reading the Bible and worshiping God acting against national security? Isn't it a clear violation of civil and human rights, and an absolute injustice to receive a ten-year prison sentence just for organising 'house churches'"...

Although the official reason Iranian authorities give in all these arrests and convictions is that such Christian activities are tantamount to "crimes against national security," it seems that the real reason is hostility to religions other than Iran's indigenous religious denominations. For instance, "[w]hile the government is anti-Christian, it does grant some limited freedoms to historical [non-Protestant] Christian churches," according to the World Watch List.

"They [indigenous Orthodox and Catholic communities] are allowed to preach to fellow countrymen in their own language but are forbidden from ministering to people from Muslim backgrounds. Members of these historical churches are treated as second-class citizens, and they have reported imprisonment, physical abuse, harassment and discrimination, and jail terms, particularly for reaching out to Muslims."

Even historical, indigenous churches are targeted for destruction by Iranian authorities.

Not only does Iran persecute its Christian minorities, but it also tries to coerce them to embrace Islam -- despite Rouhani's boasts before the UN that "Iran does not seek to... impose its official religion on others," because "[w]e are so confident in the depth of our culture, the truth of our faith and tenacity and longevity of our revolution..."

In one instance, the government "ordered children belonging to families of one of the country's largest house-church movements to study the Koran and Shi'a Islamic teachings or face expulsion from school," notes one report. The policy "deprives Christian children of primary and secondary education unless they agree to religious instruction that does not conform to their faith." As one Iranian Christian living in hiding had explained:


"Rouhani wants to prove that he is a good Muslim by persecuting Christians.... Most of the new Christians are former Muslims.... The authorities are trying to eradicate Christianity, just as the Islamic State group, but smarter."

Many Christians who eventually escape Iran and its prisons make clear that pressuring them to convert to Islam was a standard tactic. An October 2017 report says that it had "obtained confirmed reports of them being beaten in prison and threatened that if they don't renounce their faith in Christ and turn away from their Christian faith they will be forced to leave the country or be beaten to death."

Similarly, while recounting their experiences in Iran's jail system, two female converts to Christianity said "they were asked repeatedly to deny their Christian faith," and "were denied medical treatment because of their faith and that they were seen as 'dirty infidels.'"

"We can do anything to you and nobody can stop us," their Islamic interrogators regularly informed them. "Here we are the law and we can do whatever we want.... If you don't give us the information we need, we'll beat you till you vomit blood..."

"They treated us like animals," recalled the women.

"If a prisoner's case got [international media] attention, they stopped torturing or raping them because they knew the world was watching.... We heard of many cases of prisoners who had no voice outside, and many things happened to them."

The irony is that Rouhani himself hints that Iran's commitment to human rights does not include non-Muslims. At one point in his UN speech, he said that "Human and citizens' rights, along with the quest for justice and Islamic values, have constituted the most pivotal demands of the Iranian people ... particularly in the Islamic Revolution of 1979." Evidently, any Iranian who has "Christian values" does not count.

Elsewhere, Rouhani said:

"It is simply impossible for anybody to aspire to attain long-term stability, prosperity and development, while Muslims in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Myanmar and so many other places live in misery, war and poverty."

Why did Rouhani stress "Muslims"? Why not say "all people" in Syria, Iraq, etc.? Again, apparently the "misery" of non-Muslims who live in those countries does not warrant mention.

Until such time that Iran can show that it cares about the human rights of all -- including non-Muslims who live within its borders -- all lofty talk about rights and Palestinians must be seen for what it is: hypocrisy, lies and a political agenda.

Resistance to the Most Evil and Wicked Ideology on Earth.


British Islamist offended on Live TV - Exploits UK welfare but preaches for its destruction.

Radical Islamists want to impose Sharia laws in Britain.
Shari'a laws are a set of laws that are based on the life of prophet Muhammad.
Shari'a is not just a law but a way of life, ideology and political movement, according to the Sharia laws:
- There is no freedom of religion or freedom of speech.
- There is no equality between people (the non-Muslim is not equal to the Muslim).
- There are no equal rights for men and women.
- There is no democracy or a separation between religion and state politics.
FGM, Acid attacks, honor killings, beheading and stoning.
Sharia is incompatible with Christian values.


Liberals and leftists in the West use the made up term "Islamophobia" to portray anyone who criticizes Islam as a "racist".
Radical Muslim terrorists all over the world carry out terror attacks "in the name of Allah".
They justify their violence by quoting verses from the Quran.
Islamophobia is a made up word created by the Muslim Brotherhood specifically to silence debate.
Liberals and leftists ignore the fact that Islam is an ideology that has nothing to do with race.
Islamophobia is a neologism created to silence any possible debate about the problems Islamic extremism has got with modernity, with the intention of using the collective post-colonial "guilt" to exempt a particular set of beliefs from scrutiny, analysis and criticism.
It's a buzzword used in an attempt to silence anyone, whenever had legit questions or criticisms about the religion.Islam is not a race. It's a religion.
There is an attempt in the West to impose a sharia-blasphemy law to criminalize criticism of Islam.
It started when Saudi Arabia and Muslim countries tried to pass a UN resolution to force Western states to criminalize criticism of Islam.
The Parliament in Canada passed "Motion M-103" to condemn the so-called "Islamophobia (Fear of Islam)" in a preparation for a blasphemy law in Canada.
According to the sharia blasphemy law anyone who criticizes Islam or the Prophet Muhammad should be killed.
Under Sharia blasphemy law in Saudi Arabia and Iran Muslims are executed if they are accused of blasphemy.
In Pakistan, the situation is even worse, radical Muslims use the blasphemy law to persecute the Christian minority.
Is this the law the liberals in the West want to adopt?
If you think Sharia blasphemy law has no place in the West, share this post!

Resistance to the Most Evil and Wicked Ideology on Earth.


Londoners took to the streets wearing burqas, calling to ban it - Muslims are offended, as usual.

A True Blue British Protest, But when will Teresa May have them arrested for offending the Muslims of Evil Islam.

Watch: British People took to the streets to protest against the burka (video embedded below).
They wore it to prove that this posed a threat to public safety.
They claim that no one can know who is hiding under the veil.
The whole idea of the hijab (and niqab) is that it is entirely the woman's responsibility to prevent men from being tempted. She must cover herself in order to forestall that temptation.
Please leave a comment below: Should Western countries ban the burqa? Yes or No

The list of European countries adopting Burqa and Niqab bans has gained a new member.
Countries that already had such a ban include
- France
- Belgium
- Netherlands
- Bulgaria
- Austria
- Denmark.
- Switzerland
Face-covering veils includes traditional headdresses like the burqa or nikab and other items concealing the face.

In countries that banned the full face veils it won't be allowed in schools, hospitals, inside admin buildings, on public transport and other public places or buildings.
The ban doesn't prevent your head from being covered, just your face and identity.
Violators of tes ban could be fined up to 177 US dollars in Austria and up to €405 fine in the Netherlands.
In Muslim countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan The Islamic veil symbolizes oppression of women under Sharia laws.
There is no mention of an Islamic veil or burqa in the Koran. There are moderate Muslims who call to ban the burqa in the West.
