Rafaelmarie is absolutely spot on. Islamism is a far bigger danger and threat than any other ism. The communist sought to ban faith in God and every thinking person knows this cannot be done. The religion of peace seeks to pervert people away from belief in Christ and towards a belief in a god who approves of hate and violence. The atheists in the USA and UK and Europe have no understanding of how humanity works, they really believe they can create a new world order by sacking Christianity they literally do not understand what is waiting in the shadows to take its place. Merciful Jesus have mercy on all who suffer for your holy name and grant the rest of us currently not under persecution the grace to remember them and their families in our thoughts and prayers and every time we go to vote.
Why don't the muslim leaders condemn such acts???
The 'religion of pieces' proves true to its values again. Violence, violence and more violence and intolerance against anything that is not islam, is routinely proclaimed in the mosques.
When will these people, all God's children, come out of the stone age? This continuous vicious circle of evil cannot go on for ever. If islam is truely peaceful where is the condemnation for such acts of barbarism? The silence is deafening!
God will watch over the widow and orphans of this valiant Martyr of the Christian Faith - this is what TRUE Martyrdom is all about - dying for your faith not murdering for your faith - somewhere along the line the muslims seem to have got it wrong on this issue.
Jesus Christ is the One, True author of the book of life and His Gospel is THE only Gospel of Life.
It is said that there are more martyrs today than ever before and that "the Blood of Martyrs is the seed of Christians." God knows, how much we need our martyrs today! But it is, nonetheless, heart-breaking to "see" nothing being done about this.... Everyone (governments) stands back and washes their hands. Absolutely amazing!

Actually, this was on the Fox News website. they have much more on there than on tv. this does not lessen the need for it to be made known through every media outlet, just thought you might like to know it was covered by Fox. We have to keep praying for Christians everywhere who are being persecuted, especially the Middle East and now Vietnam. God knows it is happening, we know it is happening, doesn't matter if the media covers it, because they can't stop it. Pray for the religious (priests, bishops, nuns, etc) who are in these places and all over the world. They need all the prayers we can give them.
The middle east is not gonna be solved by politics,but by prayer and definetly fasting for these demons to leave.Remember the Church has more power than the all the governments in the world put together.I do believe that its gonna have to be a direct an act of God by now to make this world more humbled.
it's only the radical muslims.
Very well said, "G.G." The media is part of the problem in the fight against the persecution of Christians wherever it exists. The media do not care.
Are There any Decent Moslems in the world who would try and end or speak up against this torture and murder of Christians? Surely they know that this is wrong.This behaviour is barbaric inhuman and worse than wild animals. Moslems in our countries are allowed to walk about freely, worship freely and have no fear that that anyone will hurt them. But this savage behaviour of militants could easily arouse a hatred towards moslems. It could create violence towards them as a consequence.
Thank you G.G. for your beautiful and true words. Our prayers need to be constantly with these suffering Christians. We sometimes still like to think of America as the "good protector nation". But how can a nation who kills 50 million of its own children in the name of freedom be good?
