Now here is a group of people whose refugee status for immigration I could fully support. Happy to have them occupy some of the vacant church realestate in this country if Egypt and the murderous MB don’t want them. Where is the hew and cry from the Canadian refugee claims industry over this?
To report or talk about this racist and islamophobic.
Lists of religious organization who support political policies of the regime of the day must have their motives called into question. We note how statist seculars like the Obama regime decry the involvement of the church in public life yet they are quick to trot them out to validate manipulative public policy agendas when convenient.
We must question the credibility of such church support given that after the income act was passed all churches in the US had to be registered with the state and follow a list of state vended regulations in order to maintain a tax free status *among them, the non involvement of the church in politics*. I think this is the motivation that creates lists of churches backing government policy agendas – that and the fact these church head executive is no doubt infiltrated with partisan Dems/leftists.
The bible refers to churches/priests who sell out their corporal independence and loyalty to God to the state as “Baal religion” or “Baal priests” – this came from the Jewish scribes noting how the Pharos of Egypt and the Kings of Babylon used religion and Priests to inflict their political will on the people as if it had been a command of god – this is how far the moral integrity of the US has fallen – a system so corrupt it has corrupted the churches.
I should clarify my commentary – I have seen many of these churches sign a petition to have Obama sign the UN small Arms treaty which will obliterate the 2nd amendment
I work with some Christians who came here a couple years ago from Egypt. I can’t imagine what it’s like for them to have to think of their family and friends going through this while they are toiling away at work. I’m sure they are completely stressed out under the surface.
Raymond Ibrahim’s book Crucified Again goes into great detail on the butchery going on today of non-muslims in Islamic countries and the burning of churches. In places like Nigeria the worshippers are in them when they are burned. Discussing this with a friend just over from Scotland and she laments the huge influx of muslims and how their cities are changing in the UK with places like Birmingham where you rarely see a white face anymore.
Occam, many of these western mainline churches, as well as some lessor denominations, have been infiltrated or infected by the Marxist mindset over the last few decades. Some even support Islamists as just another equal partner culture.
A few years ago we attended a church service in Winnipeg in what used to be a fundamentalist church and our NDP daughter and her husband attend. That particular Sunday there was a handout for a discussion session. The title of the handout was “Marxism is good, Capitalism is evil”. Many have drunk from the cup of Baal. This is particularly galling to a person whose family has suffered so much from the real life application of Marxism.
Nuff said.
The destruction of churches is Wahhabi’ism in action.
It’s time wealthy Muslims stepped forward to help rebuild the churches. But first this senseless destruction must stop. Sunshine will help. Let’s put a spotlight on the actions of the Devil’s Brotherhood, masquerading as the MB.
Most of this BEFORE the army took over.
Most of this is the reason why the army took over.
It’s one thing to have a relationship with the middle east since the Eisenhower era due to that area’s control of the major oil supply.
It’s quite another thing to support the Muslim Brotherhood.
Your move, Obama.
It is Kristallnacht, or would be if the MB was still in power but the tide of hatred is not going away, just being driven underground for now.
Just like Kristallnacht there is only one solution for Christians in Egypt. They need to leave. Just like Kristallnacht nobody is going to take them. All they will get is some hand wringing “concern” from the west.
I would also like to point out that perhaps the Coptic church should do a little soul searching about it’s own virulent antisemitism and it’s behavior when Egypt’s Jews were the target.
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.”
This can’t be. The Muslim Brotherhood is a secular organization according to James Clapper. As the Director of National Intelligence he must know what he’s talking about, right?
How about we exchange Somalis for Copts? I’d much rather have a Christian for a neighbour than a Muslim anyday as the violent as@*#&e per capita ratio is much lower for Christians.
EGYPT: Defense Minister General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi vows to rebuild the many Coptic Churches destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood

No one knows exactly when the Virgin Mary Church was built, but the fourth and fifth centuries are both possible options. In both cases, it was the time of the Byzantines. Egypt’s Coptic Church—to which this church in modern-day Delga belonged—had refused to bow to imperial power and Rome’s leadership over the nature of Christ. Constantinople was adamant it would force its will on the Copts. Two lines of popes claimed the Seat of Alexandria. One with imperial blessing sat in the open; the other, with his people’s support, often hid, moving from one church to the other. Virgin Mary Church’s altar outlasted the Byzantines. Arabs soon invaded in A.D. 641. Dynasties rose and fell, but the ancient building remained strong, a monument to its people’s survival.
…
Miracles are rare in modern times. More common is hardship, and plenty befell the churches of Delga. St. George was attacked a number of times and its domes destroyed. An enthusiastic bishop built two minarets only to have the Egyptian police destroy them. More threatening than a persecuting state was the mob. The ancient churches were attacked several times in the past. On July 28, Molotov cocktails and stones were thrown. The churches survived that day.
But survival was not destined two weeks later. The army’s violent crackdown on Mohamed Morsi’s supporters in Cairo unleashed a wave of attacks on churches the like of which Copts had not seen in centuries, thus laying waste to examples of a unique byway in the history of architecture, religious structures that are a hybrid of Egyptian, Greco-Roman and Christian Byzantine styles. Dozens of churches were burned and destroyed in the largest attack on Coptic houses of worship since 1321. A complete tally is still to be written. But in its latest report, the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, Egypt’s best human-rights organization, documents a total of 47 churches attacked, of which 25 were burned, seven looted and destroyed, five partly damaged, and 10 attacked without sustaining heavy damage.
In this maelstrom, the ancient Virgin Mary Church was not spared. In a day of brutality, the people of Delga distinguished themselves. All three of Delga’s Coptic churches were destroyed. So were a Catholic and a Protestant church in the city. In place of Virgin Mary Church, the mob placed a sign: The Martyrs Mosque.
Other areas in the country attempted to compete. The school run by Franciscan nuns in Beni Suef was destroyed. It had been opened in 1889 and provided education to thousands of Egypt’s girls. A symbol of a bygone time. Lost with the building were many artifacts, statues and paintings. A museum in Malawi was also destroyed. About 1,200 ancient artifacts have been looted.
A Coptic exodus has been under way for two years now in Egypt. The hopes unleashed by the 2011 revolution soon gave way to the realities of continued and intensified persecution. Decades earlier, a similar fate had befallen the country’s once-thriving Jewish community. The departure of the people is echoed in the decay of the buildings. The landscape of the country is changing along with its demography. A few synagogues stand today as the only reminder of the country’s Jews. Which churches will remain standing is an open question.
Matthew 22:34-40
34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment.39 And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”

It would most certainly contravene this commandment, which comes from a more august authority…

Well, I should add to my post above that the vast majority of members of this church in Winnipeg work for the federal, provincial government, and in the school system in some manner, and included a number of university professors.
How come our media haven’t published this list?
What if these were mosques burned down by Christians? We all know that the Western media would be outraged and all over the story because it would fit their multiculturalism narrative: Christians: bad; all other faiths: good.
‘Time to get real here in the West or we’ll devolve into ME hell holes — and it will be no one’s fault but our own damned fault. Wake the hell up, people — “people” would be our MSM and Leftard (not mutually exclusive by any means) dhimmies.
Yeah well, it is at times like this that I reflect on the totalitarian nature of the Ottoman Empire.
Devout Muslims, the Ottomans were non-the-less very ecumenical…, placing a high priority on order….. that’s why the Arabs hated them so.
Because of the sometimes violent clashes in Palestine over use of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Ottomans placed it under the management of a muslim family….an arrangement the Israeli government continues to today.
It is worth noting, that Suleiman the Magnificent refused to set foot in a church…..otherwise muslim zealots would turn it into a mosque. His Grand Vizier built more churches than the Byzantine Justinian the Great.
This current mess in the ME is the result of inept administration by the Victors of WW1…..IMHO the Ottomans shoulda remained neutral…..at least it woulda postponed all this…….maybe not……
So where is the outrage from the religion of peace in the USA, Canada and Europe denouncing the actions of their Egyptian brothers?????
If they are not speaking out against the distasteful violence and condemning them, then their silence must be tacit approval of their actions.
Yup, there is no such thing as a good or bad muslim……they are all muslims.
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.

Kate, I have to ask if this is your site? I got to “know” you and appreciate you in the late 90s due to our mutual love of Miniature Schnauzers.
Glad to see you are still speaking out and fighting the good fight.
Best wishes,
Marcia
Goodness, I saw that head “MB Kristalnacht” and I almost flipped. I thought you were talking about Manitoba…
Indeed these are the reasoned actions of the disciples of the religion of peace.
They openly admit that peace will come, when all unbelievers are dead or paying for the privilege of continuing to breathe.
Our Libtards are of course to stupid to understand the truth when it is spoken. Probably due to their own inherent dishonesty.
For some reason that long list of destroyed and desecrated churches reminded me something I had read long ago, by Robert Fisk, titled: “Screening[the movie] ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ in Beirut.”
Quote: “When the leprous King of Jerusalem . . . falls fatally ill after honourably preventing a battle between Crusaders and Saracens, Saladin . . . tells his deputies to send his own doctors to look after the Christian king. At this, there came from the Muslim audience a round of spontaneous applause. They admired this act of mercy from their warrior hero; they wanted to see his kindness to a Christian. . . . at the end of the film, after Balian has surrendered Jerusalem, Saladin enters the city and finds a crucifix lying on the floor of a church, knocked off the altar during the three-day siege. And he carefully picks up the cross and places it reverently back on the altar. And at this point the audience rose to their feet and clapped and shouted their appreciation. They loved that gesture of honour. They wanted Islam to be merciful as well as strong. And they roared their approval above the soundtrack of the film . . . So if you see Kingdom of Heaven, when Saladin sets the crucifix back on the altar, remember that deafening applause from the Muslims of Beirut.” http://www.counterpunch.org/2005/06/10/screening-kingdom-of-heaven-in-beirut/
Muslims applauding a sentimentalized Hollywood portrayal of them as merciful and honorable towards Christians: yes, I’ll remember that as I pray for the Christians of Egypt, Mr. Fisk.
Of course the real blight here is the observable fact of Churches not only staying silent about this. But those who support Islam pretending to be Christ like.
Muslims will be Muslims. We expect atrocity from them , as their doctrine bids them.
For Christians in the West to stay mute about the wholesale slaughter of fellow believers is
Beyond laconic. Pusillanimity is no virtue.
So called Religious dialogue (which is always Islam talking about Islam being a victim)Has never helped. It just brings more contempt.
Its contemptibly cowardly.
Jesus spoke up about evils not hid them.
Time for s little reciprocal atrocity. I will rejoice in every member of the Moslem Brotherhood killed by the Egyptian army. I rejoice in every Salafist killed by the Egyptian army.
A squadron of B-52`s loaded with napalm would settle the score.
Pusillanimity….
Man I had to look that up!!! Nice.
well now reverend moonbeam, if you read the comments above you may start to become aware that most kristians are lefties, headed that way, or too dumb to understand that their mercifull actions are as bad as the lefties
and to those lamenting the silence of the moderate muzzies, it mirrors the silence of the kristians when they should be outing the actions of renegade kristians. But then we hear from the likes of batb that there are kristians and kristians, so I guess there are muslims and then there are muslims, thanx for the heads up battyB
Most mainstream Christian denominations have become lefties, fundamentalist ones are not. The MSM reports only the comments of the mainstream denomination spokesmen, and not those that are speaking out in their periodicals against what is happening in Egypt and who are also “outing” the renegades for their support of radical Islam.
The continuous personal attacks against anyone who professes faith are reminiscent of the attacks by phil against farmers.
Surly NME666 even you can see the difference;
I don’t hate Muslims but I do despise Islam as a Religion of Ideology. Of Conquest.Its Hate of Humanity. Murder for salvation.
In Christianity we are saved by grace with confessing Christ as Lord with true Repentance of our sins. That’s it.No rituals, no Religion, not even good works, or Following the Law. The cross that Yeshua died on freed us, & all mankind for heaven if we choose in humbleness his pardon that He died for us in place of our sins.
Doing good, loving people, is called consecration which has nothing to do with Salvation. We live our lives as a walking prayer in humility of our acknowledged sinfulness, our debt to God for His grace to us, freely given.Even after we receive His Spirit we are still sinners (Some Christians forget this when God gives them power over Vices in their lives) . Trying to Honour God by being like His Son the Messiah of Israel.
Our Lives become concentrated to Him by free will. We don’t even say we have converts. Only Gods Spirit can bring men to him.We just are told to tell about the good news of a free Redemption, known as the Gospel. What Christianity really needs are Disciples.Even in Bible believing Churches only about 1/3rd of people have done this. Most go because of tradition or because they think doing it will save them, Other reasons as well.
Just ask God if he is real, or Jesus is the Messiah promised. What can possibly go wrong if there is Nothing?
KORAN commands to kill infidels:
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. – Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. – 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God’s entirely. – Sura 2:193 and 8:39
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. – 5:54
Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme – 8:39
Muslim prayer:
So, what do Muslims actually pray for? The only supplication in the rak’a is the recitation of Al-Fatihah (Surah 1 of the Quran). This is what they pray for:
Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have favored,
Not of those who have incurred your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.
The phrase ‘those who have incurred your wrath” comes from Surah 2:61 which says,
Shame and misery were stamped upon [the Israelites] and they incurred the wrath of Allah; because they disbelieved Allah’s signs and slew His prophets unjustly; because they were rebels and transgressors.
The phrase “those who have gone astray” comes from Surah 4:44 which says,
Consider those to whom a portion of the Scriptures was given [i.e., Christians]. They purchase error for themselves and wish to see you go astray.
Luke 6
27“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunicb either. 30Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
32“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread,
Mat 6:12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Mat 6:14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
Thanks batb

Not too happy about that one.

‘Don’t know what you’re talking about. Re-read my comment.
Hans, do you have a source for this list of churches? I’d like to share it on fb and an official source would lend it more credibility.
