The persecution of Christians

Posted on by

It was inevitable. As we all know, Christians are persecuted – just like UK’s ‘Voice of Justice’ Lynda Rose lamented after her miserable appearance on BBC’s ‘Big Question’. That statement raised some eyebrows, so here are some concrete examples from the past three months:

  • In Greece, a man was sentenced to 10 month in prison for Blasphemy after poking fun at a priest on Facebook
  • Students wearing T-Shirts adorned with a page from the ‘Jesus and Mo’ cartoon were threatened to be expelled from campus if they didn’t cover their T-shirts
  • A picture showing the ‘Flying Spaghetti Monster’ superimposed on the ‘Creation of Adam’ painting was forcibly removed from a booth at a student fair
  • A student group was kicked off-campus for naming a pineapple ‘Mohammed’

Oh, wait. That’s the Christians persecuting atheists.

“Those who cannot remember the past…”

Stupid is as stupid does. And then there is Lehava, an organization that takes stupidity to an all-new level by mixing it with equal amounts of religious hate, intolerance, and an appalling dose of misogyny. They oppose marriages between Jewish women and non-Jewish men. Yep, that’s right: women only, and entirely religiously focused.

Their newest service is a hotline where you can call if you “know a girl who is involved with a goy and you want to help her”.

Chairman of the Lehava organization, Bentzi Gupstein, went on record with this morsel:

every person can explain in his own way to the Arab man that he is better off dating Fatima from the village rather than Yael or Einat

After the success of your hotline, here’s another idea, Bentzi “Adolf” Gupstein:
Why don’t you enforce a law that all non-Jews have to wear stickers: say a yellow Crescent for the Muslims? To keep the bloodlines pure. And the work’s already half done for you – just download of a copy of the Nuremberg Laws. Then first replace all occurrences of ‘Jew’ with ‘Muslim’ or ‘Goy’ [derogatory term for non-Jew], and all occurrences of ‘German Blood’ with ‘Jew’ – and you are done. It’s easy. The concentration camps are a natural second step, and the blueprints for those you can look up all over Israel.

For example in Yad Vashem.

A perfect system for mankind?

I’m getting really tired of religious hardliners who never tire to accuse the non-islamic rest of the world of ‘debauchery’, being ‘morally corrupt’, generally unfit to make a decent decision, and then extol the moral superiority of their belief. A belief system that is difficult to be more misogynistic and hateful.

Recent UN and independent reports of underaged women who have fled Syria only to be sold as sex slaves, along with details of the Sharia-conform Islamic customs of Nikah mut‘ah, Nikah Misyar and Nikah ‘urfi – ‘temporary marriages’ to circumvent accusations of rape and extramarital sex with the sole purpose of allowing men to prey on destitute women, reveal the extent of ideological bigotry inherent in that particular belief. Here’s a sad truth: almost all women living under fundamental Islam are being denied important human rights. Few women would choose such a life by their own volition.

A few days ago, a funamental Islamic group gathered for a protest in London’s Brick Lane, with the declared goal to enforce a ban on selling alcohol. Part of that group were women (garbed in full body veil) holding up signs. One sign read ‘Islam is the perfect system for all mankind’:

Whenever I see a woman holding up a sign like that I can’t help but wonder: was she bought a slave and told what to do, brainwashed and beaten into submission, or is she merely incredibly stupid?

I have trouble believing she is stupid.

So many things to write about, so little time. Since my first title ‘No Gods, No Glory’ went online, not a single day has gone by where I did not want to comment on something religious. The great thing about living today is that we have technology like blogs, Twitter and eBooks. The bad thing about living today is that we must master these technologies.
