Christians in the Middle East are the latest entry on the endangered species list. The fault lay at the hands of the Muslim zealots who are intent on “Christianrein“.  One Muslim entity after another have threatened, raped, pillaged, killed and murdered their Christian neighbors causing them to flee with only the shirts on their back.

Without exception the Christian community has done nothing to defend themselves. On this Easter Sunday, one where more Christian blood has been shed in the past fifteen hundred years, we find the Pope praying instead of ordering the Christians to mount a campaign to defend their faith; A Christian phalanx in the hundreds of thousands can erase this existential threat.  An “eye for an eye” is the only solution.

On Good Friday, Francis chastised the international community for what he called the complicit silence about the killing of Christians. On Easter he prayed that God would alleviate `’the suffering of so many of our brothers persecuted because of his name.” No doubt the Pope is a good man, but praying will not solve the mass murder of Christians who barely have the means to defend themselves. Words alone will not protect the faithful, only guns can save them.

Little by little, one by one, the Middle East Christian communities are being erased from the face of the earth. Only in Israel will the Christians be protected from Islamic killers where they are free to practice their religion. Watching from afar the Christians in the United States are beside themselves as no one will step forward to take up arms against those who shout, “allahu akbar. ”

Happy Easter
