War on Christianity Intensified in the Wake of Islamic Terrorism

War on Christianity Intensified in the Wake of Islamic Terrorism

By: Zealous Saints

All eyes are on Islam right now as the world grapples with the steadily rising and increased threat of terrorism. In the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks that occurred on November 13, 2015 and the San Bernardino shooting that occurred on December 2, 2015, we have seen an overwhelming amount of support and defense of Islam. Ironically, it is not the Muslim religion and ideology that is coming under heavy scrutiny. Rather, it is the Christians who are being scapegoated, bearing the sins of Islam in the wake of these tragic events. Over the past few weeks, there has been noticeable backlash and critique of Christianity as people attempt to equate it to the violent extremism of radical Islam. We know that Christian persecution is on the rise and inevitable. This persecution, at the moment, comes in the form of religious intolerance and social discrimination. Islam hates Western culture and Christianity and seeks to destroy both. The following are examples of the ever increasing war on Christianity:

Daily News mocks God in December 3, 2015 cover

Daily News criticizes people, particularly politicians and political candidates, for offering their "thoughts and prayers". The news outlet's bold proclamation that "God Isn't Fixing This," is an attempt to undermine people of faith and the power of prayer to seek consolation in these times of need. The front page cover is supposedly meant to draw the public's attention to the need for more gun control and motivate the politicians to action. Though it is understandable that more action needs to be taken to control gun accessibility to criminals and the threat of terrorism, I am easily convinced that the statement on the front cover is meant to shake fists in the face of God and publicly shame anyone who prays to Him.

The Vilification of a San Bernardino Shooting Victim

In an appalling article for the Daily News, Linda Stasi draws similarities between Syed Farook, one of two radicals that carried out the San Bernardino terror attack, and Nicholas Thalasinos, an innocent victim who was murdered by Farook. Stasi calls Thalasinos, a born again Christian/Messianic Jew, a "hate-filled bigot". Stasi vehemently criticizes deceased Thalasinos for his adamant opinions and views against the government, opposition to Planned Parenthood, and pro-NRA stance, views that Thalasinos was well-entitled to. Unlike Farook, Thalasinos' views did not motivate him to carry out a mass shooting on innocent people attending a holiday party. Here we have another example of this nonsensical scapegoating of Christianity. Here we have a radical Muslim who murdered an innocent Christian man and, yet, the Christian man is the one being harshly criticized and defamed.

The Fallacious Comparisons of Violent Islam to Biblical Passages

The following video was created to equate biblical passages seen as violent to the extremism of Islam. The subsequent video was uploaded to YouTube by FaceLikeTheSun and adequately refutes this video. Again, there seems to be widespread focus on discrediting Christianity during this time of persecution headed by Islamic extremists.

Facebook and YouTube Censorship of Christian Truthers and Anti-Islamic Posts 

Many Christian truthers and conspiracy analysts are experiencing increased censorship on Facebook and YouTube. Conservative-Headlines.com posted the article, Facebook to begin formal policy of criticism of Islam. YouTube has also upped the censorship and banning of material seeking to expose the truth behind the lies imposed by the mainstream media. There is an apparent goal to use these occurrences of violence to increase gun control and ultimately push the globalists agenda toward a one world government and anyone who attempts to expose these truths are slowly being silenced. 

These are only a few examples of the increased war on Christianity. If you are a Muslim, the world will seemingly stand in your defense in a heartbeat, even in the face of increased Islamic terrorism. But if you are are a Christian, you are constantly defending yourself against accusations of bigotry and fascism. Even in all this chaos, our hope never fades as we know these are just signs of a fast approaching deliverance from this fallen world. As we look at the world around us, the following verse rings true and loud, "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved" -Matthew 10:22.
