Don't just bemoan the massacre in Sri Lanka on social media; do something! You can start by signing this petition.

From the ACLJ:
Defend Persecuted Christians Worldwide
Christian persecution has escalated at a staggering rate worldwide.

ISIS – the Islamic State – has abducted hundreds of Christians for slaughter.

Though they are on the run, they have crucified Christian men, enslaved Christian women, and barbarically beheaded Christian children.

Pakistan has sentenced Christians to death for blasphemy, and has barbarically persecuted children of underprivileged Christian families.

Iran and Sudan have imprisoned Christian pastors, merely because of their faith.

America can and must do more to protect persecuted Christians around the globe.

We’ve mobilized our international offices and continue to work in Congress to protect the persecuted Church.

Be their voice in Congress. Add your name to our petition.

Petition to Protect Persecuted Christians

To Congress:

The worldwide persecution of Christians is on the rise.

They’ve been imprisoned, tortured, and even brutally killed for their faith. America must do more to defend them. Stop funding persecuting nations and take decisive action to protect Christians.

As an atheist and a human that believes in conciousness/higher conciousness i will begin by saying i practice non-violence/harm and do not support any entity or conglomerate that follows in the ways of exploitation. Any person,group,cult or religion that promotes hate, supports martyrdom and excercises violence and exploitation is no longer needed on this planet (i hypothesize it was never needed).
In relation to the cowards that killed and injured hundreds of men, women and children on easter sunday i say this.......we must first find out how deep this all goes; as its far too easy to get into a battle over which religion is to blame (all religion should disappear as if they never existed)and get distracted from allocating a certain level of responsibility to private interests or govt entities that may have had something to gain. Any violent extremists who are affiliated or share the views of the men that carried out these atrocities should be punished and /or deported to a nation that shares their warped ideologies. Having said that i don't believe the way forward for humanity let alone sri lanka is to match violence with equal or more violence. Much more to say and connect strings too but for an idw forum it seems most are focused on which of their ideologies is better....would expect "an intellectual dark web" forum to have less ideology and more higher conciousness.
Conciousness bless all.

One can only expect to be given what they have gave. Christianity has persecuted millions of people throughout history and it continues to do so all around the world to this day so whatever happens happens IMO. The Muslims in the Middle East see the USA as Christians attacking and persecuting them. They don't see it as a secular country thanks to the republican rhetoric leading up to the Iraq invasion, esp from the things Bush Jr said that made it a holy war. The government used Christianity to get support for killing Muslims and now the Christians reap what they sow. Sad to say but all I can suggest is start by cleaning your own house before u go for the Muslims.

Hello, George. I've already replied at length to your other comment in this thread, so I won't repeat all of what I said here. I only hope that you will expend some effort in overcoming your profound misunderstanding of both Christianity and Islam.

Although, historically, some evil deeds have been perpetrated in the name of Christ, that does not mean they were done in emulation of him or in pursuance to any doctrine he taught. Jesus did not teach violence as a means of spreading the Gospel. Period.

Muslims in the Middle East were performing terroristic acts to subdue their enemies long before the United States was even a glimmer in Lady Liberty's eye. Your (and others'😉 attempts to blame US involvement for the rise of Islamic Jihad would be laughable if the ignorance that prompts them were not so damaging. Muhammad's example and the violence he espoused lie at the core of Islamic doctrine.

Let me recommend one more very informative, well researched, timely video to you:
"Why All Mass Violence Is Now Islamic Terror"

I wish you well as you seek the Truth.

@Wordmage Jesus said he came with a sword so I wish u well in seeking the truth.

Oh my word. Want this!!!

This interview with Damian Thompson, Editor-in-Chief of the Catholic Herald gives a glimpse into the breadth of the persecution.

Peace time is over. It is time to bomb the barbarians into the stone age. There are no moderates. They are like a football team. There is a team on the field and the rest are just sitting on the bench waiting to be called by the coach.

If (when) we are attacked, we should definitely defend. However, I would much rather see the people who are misguided & deceived by this ideology reached and convinced by its own internal evidence that Islam is false.

David Wood, Sam Shamoun, Anthony Rogers, Al Fadi, The Apostate Prophet, @Lorelee and @OneGodlessWoman are just some of the people who are striving to inform others that Islam is false. Let me invite you to come join the "David Wood Fans" group. I believe we can make a difference; people are leaving Islam in droves.

Agree totally. My Rant for the Day is “Stop with the Genocide of Christians & Stop Torching our Churches “ enough! Am so pissed off with this One Sidedness. Sick of seeing our People as the Victims. Am I the only one who feels like this? And don’t give me the Racist shit! Over that too.

Other things that people can do:

  • get educated about Islam and share with courage [minds.com]
  • let people know when Facebook and Twitter silences you and why.

Thanks for the input! I created a Minds just in the last week or two specifically to follow David Wood. I also recommend describing to his YouTube channel, here:

What does this actually do though?
Plenty of the Lord's faithful raised funds for legislation which did little to stop the actions of Isis.

@Slavey, the Quran drives a wedge between Christianity and Islam. The hadiths and suras drive a wedge between Christianity and Islam. The imams who follow & teach from those documents drive a wedge between Christianity and Islam. This has nothing to do with Judaism, except that those of us who are Christians worship and follow the teachings of a Jew. Take off the anti-Jewish lenses through which you are seeing everything.

@CodeNameZebra, I can't predict exactly what this specific petition will accomplish beyond raising awareness in Congress and informing our representatives this is an issue we care about. I can tell you this: the ACLJ has an international reach, and has defended Christians who were suffering "legal" persecution in multiple Islamic countries.

@Wordmage lmao, only the Muslim stuff is to blame, huh? Christianity has no room to attack Islam about persecution. All of the Abrahamic religions from the middle East promote persecution of others, it's just western Christians don't really follow the rules of the Bible thanks to secular countries like the USA stopping it and making religion just a social hierarchy for western society. Millions of deaths through history due to "loving" religions. And yes, Christian groups around the world are persecuting others just like Muslims are, the Bible instructs them to do it just as the Islamic holy books do. Our media don't cover those terrorists because it would cause to many problems from the right wing and Christians across the country. Of course those Christian terrorists aren't real Christians but the Muslim terrorists are real Muslims, right?

@Slavey I think that Wedge has passed the point of No Return mate. I feel sick of today’s readings that Muslims around the World are laughing about the Sri Lanka disaster. Saying it was Revenge for the NZ disaster? Sorry are you feeling sorry for the Muslims now NZ??? Rant Over.

@george, apparently, you are suffering from a profound misunderstanding of Christianity. Christians follow the Christ, Jesus. His message is communicated clearly in the New Testament. We recognize that the Old Testament is also the Word of God, but we understand that it was focused mainly on the Hebrew people's relationship with God. For Christians, the laws in it were "made complete" and superseded by Christ's sacrifice and law of love. Hence, we are not required to perform the animal sacrifices, etc. that are recorded & required in the Old Testament. And we are not bound by some of the regulations that were placed on the Hebrews. (Obviously, "Thou shalt do no murder" and other fundamental commitments still apply.) Likewise, you appear to have an equally bad understanding of Islam. Islam originated with the appearance of Muhammad and the Quran, and except for certain portions that were specifically abrogated (canceled), every word of the Quran is considered eternal & fully applicable to daily life in the 21st century. And Muhammad is still revered as the "best of people" and Muslims are expected to emulate him.

When one is accusing either Christians or Muslims of terrorism, or of "not being a real Christian/Muslim," what one should do is examine whether that individual's actions are done in imitation of his prophet and whether they adhere to the doctrine of his sourcebook. If someone who claims to be (or is alleged to be) a Christian commits a violent act against innocents, is he following the example of Jesus Christ? No, absolutely not. In no way did Jesus espouse violence as a means of spreading the Gospel. So, even if someone considers himself a Christian, if he commits a terrorist act in shooting innocent people or bombing a place of worship, he is not acting as a true follower of Christ. On the other hand, if someone who claims to be a Muslim shoots, stabs, or bombs innocent people in a place of worship, in a nightclub, at a foot race, in a place of employment, on a train, or just along the street somewhere, is he following the example of Muhammad? Yes, absolutely. Muhammad not only advocated violence, he practiced it himself. This is well documented in the Quran, the hadiths, and the suras. He demanded that his followers "subjugate nonbelievers," and that is what his followers have done for fourteen centuries. He advocated terrorism.

By way of example, I submit the following two verses from the Quran:
Remember your Lord inspired the angels with the message: "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: you smite them above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." 8:12
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid to you and you shall not be treated unjustly. 8:60
Note that these verses have not been abrogated.

If you want to learn more, I recommend reading the following well-researched article:
"WAS MUHAMMAD A TERRORIST?"
[answering-islam.org]

In addition (and perhaps quicker), I suggest watching the following video from David Wood:
"The Two Faces of Islam: Why All Muslims Benefit from Terrorism"

I also invite you to check out the resources that are being posted in the IDW "David Wood Fans" group, here:

I wish you all the best in your search for the Truth.

@Wordmage I understand Christianity and Islam just fine. Christians will always play the victim role as they persecuted others the same as the Muslims and the Jews. Being a Christian I'm sure u only see your interpretation as legit but their are hundreds of denominations and the western culture has neutered many of them to the point they ignore the Bible and just are Christians in name and social standing. All Abrahamic religions are violent and barbaric based on their text.

Jesus said he didn't come to change the law but to fulfill it and that not one bit of the law was to change until he returned during the sermon on the mount. That means u are still under the old testament law, all 613 of them. I know u and others will never follow those laws because they are sick and twisted and I am glad u ignore them but truth is u need to let go of the ideology completely because by ignoring the very rules of the Bible u show u are a much more moral being than the god u follow. By the way, Jesus is a false prophet if u really want to break down his claims and the Bible plainly states not to follow false prophets. People at the sermon of the mount were to still be alive when he returned and I don't think anyone from 2000+ years ago is still alive. U might want to seek more understanding of your own holy books before u bash someone else's.

Yes I was looking for petitions on this vital subject already in Canada. Peaceful way to voice our outrage.
Most should be brave enough to do that and the more the braver they will get.. Let’s spread the news!

The difference in reaction to MZ tragedy vs Sri Lanka tragedy makes me think how deeply imbedded and widely spread is Muslim Brotherhood project for the Islam to take over the world in 100 years...

I wonder at what point they merged with globalist agenda or perhaps when one started using another useful idiot for a free ride.
I can’t understand that so many influential Jews in US and Canada are acting suicidal by supporting leftists, simply not registering the fact that they will be first in line to subjugation by Islam.

Bill Warner says that our problem is that we want to tie this competition with Islam when Islam only wants to win.

Tom Quiggin is stating that every Canadian political party is infiltrated on its every level by Islamists.

Is it possible that nobody is willing to read real version of Koran, Hadith and Sira to learn from the source what is the truth?

Islam is peaceful only to Islamists even “moderate” Muslims would be forced to be “radical” if Sharia comes in place!

I've seen a lot of that information, however I didn't see that presentation before, nor did I see all of it tied together quite as well. Thanks for posting the video link.

The left can't even bring themselves to use the word Christian. But Christ knew this would be the case

John 15:18-19
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

@Slavey Im not sure what part of the Bible you'd be referring to exactly.

@Slavey hardly. And Im well versed in the Bible...so by all means prove me wrong. Chapter and verse please? Put up or shut up DumDum.

@Slavey not true!

@Slavey again I ask, to which part of the Bible are you referring? If you can not support your assertion that " Christ also knew that in the end days those who would resettle Israel were false Jews. USURPERS." then why make the statement? If you can then why the ad hominem attack? If I am a lair why not simply cite the chapter(s) and verse(s) to which you are referring? As I said...put up or shut up.

@Slavey you are incorrect and conflating multiple things. I agree (surprise suprise) Google sucks. Try Bing or FireFox. The jews you refer to don't recognize the state of Israel because the Temple hasn't been rebuilt. The Dome of the Rock, the 3rd holiest site in Islam now stands where the Temple once (and in Jewish faith MUST always) stand. Just so you know I spend 2 years in Bible college ((the baptist version of seminary) and many years more in deep study of the Bible. I never take these matters lightly and had you been able to produce a verse I would have taken the time to study it in it's entirety.

@Slavey So you state something as fact then, are unable to prove the statement ,THEN get your little dumdum panties in a twist when you are proven to be malinformed. And somehow in your,albeit very very small, mind this makes me a "lying worm" And you really MUST pick up a history book sometime dumdum. The Bible wasn't found in some desert cave. You're referring to the "Dead Sea scrolls" found in a cave in Qumran in the 1940/50's. The Bible was around long before that my little misinformed moron. Anyhoo....good luck on the short bus buddy

@Slavey "Actually no, I'm referring to the orthodox Jew who I listened to a few years ago."
And that means what? My God.....you are as bright as a box of rocks. Truly a spectacular simpleton. Good day sir.
