They Seem Nice

Afghan Christians are reportedly fleeing to the mountains in a desperate attempt to escape the Taliban who is going door to door trying to kill them.
An underground church that partners with Frontier Alliance International (FAI) has reported that the Taliban are targeting Christians for death. According to FAI:
The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians they are targeting to pursue and kill. The US Embassy is defunct and there is no longer a safe place for believers to take refuge. All borders to neighboring countries are closed and all flights to and from have been halted, with the exception of private planes. People are fleeing into the mountains looking for asylum. They are fully reliant on God, who is the only One who can and will protect them.
The Taliban are going door-to-door taking women and children. The people must mark their house with an “X” if they have a girl over 12 years old, so that the Taliban can take them. If they find a young girl and the house was not marked they will execute the entire family. If a married woman 25 years or older has been found, the Taliban promptly kill her husband, do whatever they want to her, and then sell her as a sex slave.
Husbands and fathers have given their wives and daughters guns and told them that when the Taliban come, they can choose to kill them or kill themselves—it is their choice.
Taliban are also reportedly rifling through people’s phones to look for any apps that would give them away as Christians.
“We’re hearing from reliable sources that the Taliban demand people’s phones, and if they find a downloaded Bible on your device, they will kill you immediately,” said Dr. Rex Rogers, who is president of the Christian nonprofit organization SAT-7 North America, according to Religion News Service. “It’s incredibly dangerous right now for Afghans to have anything Christian on their phones. The Taliban have spies and informants everywhere.”
I wish they had gotten out months ago, but the only choice now if they haven’t already left is to shoot them in the face when they come knocking. It’s the same thing you should do when they come to forcibly confiscate guns in America.

The us has the blood of millions of Christians on its head. Throughout Palestine, Iraq, Syria, African regions, Afghanistan and others the us has both blessed and materially supported antichrist totalitarians. The Christians in the churches believe what government tv tells them about how the us and her allies are the good guys.
Sowing and reaping the bible tells me. I see no way to avoid a judgement that must be coming.

It’s what the shahids do, the true believers and soldiers of Islam.
As recently as a century ago, westerners were routinely taught in history classes and in other ways about the long twilight struggle between the Christian West and Islam. And her military and political leaders knew of this, including such famous late Victorian Age names as Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt. Going further back into time, a number of the American Founding Fathers warned of the dangers of Islam, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, to name three examples.
Winston Churchill (1874-1965), who had served in the Sudan as a young subaltern (junior officer) of the British cavalry (4th Queen’s Own Hussars) and participated in the last cavalry charge ever undertaken by the British Army, at the Battle of Omdurman (1898).
After leaving the army, he became a writer and journalist for a time and penned “The River War: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan,” (sic) which was published in 1899. Now famous as the single individual who did the most to warn the civilized world of the dangers of Nazism, as a young man Churchill proved to be remarkably prescient about the dangers Islam posed to the civilized world. In the book, he stated:
“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
Do not be deceived by western and other apologists for Islam. Any non-Muslim may very well be in mortal danger if he finds himself surrounded by large numbers of believers, especially those known to be fundamentalists. Doubly so if he is defenseless and unable to defend himself.
Then-President George W. Bush said after the 9-11-2001 attacks that we needn’t be concerned, for Islam was “a religion of peace,” and the members of al-Qaeda and the Taliban were not “real” but false Muslims, and “extremists.” This was a bald-faced lie and an utter misreading of the nature of Islam and its long and bloody history of holy war (jihad) against all who do not swear by its creed.
Bush and the many other apologists for Islam in the West have stated that the kind of fundamentalists who comprise al-Qaeda and the Taliban and other such groups do not belong to the mainstream of Islamic thought and are confined only to its “extremist” fringes. This is a precise, 180-degree inversion of the truth.
The prophet of Islam, Mohammed, the “perfect Muslim” who is to be emulated in every way possible by the devout believer, stated that the obligation to wage jihad is so central to Islam that it ought to have been called the “sixth pillar” of Islam, along with the “five pillars” known to every believer. Indeed, he stated that other the act of being a Muslim, there was no better or more-holy thing than to take up the sword of jihad against kafirs and infidels, the unbelievers and apostates.
It is significant to note that Islamic doctrine divides the world into two and only two spheres: In Arabic, “Dar al-Islam” or “The House of Islam” (sometimes seen as the “House of Peace”) – which contains the worldwide community of Muslims, or “umma,” wherever they may be found, and “Dar al-Harb,” which means “The House of War,” and which is comprised of all of the infidels (non-Muslims) in the world, regardless of where they may be found.
Some religious scholars will try to tell Jews and Christians that they are safe around Muslims because they are monotheistic and “people of the book,” (meaning the Old and New Testaments of the Bible) but this is simply another falsehood propounded by those seeking to lull non-Muslim westerners and others into a false sense of security. The Koran, the holy book of Islam, contains numerous “verses of the sword,” passages which exort believers to hunt down and slay (kill) Christians, Jews, Hindus and other non-Muslims.
The falsity of these claims can be easily proven by reference to the fact that mere possession of a Bible, Torah or other non-Muslim holy text is considered a serious crime, even one punishable by death. In the vast majority of the Islamic world, it is forbidden (haram) and thus against sharia law to build a church, synagogue or other place of non-Muslim worship.
Until only a few years ago (he was deposed via a coup in 2019), the sub-Saharan nation of the Sudan in central Africa was ruled (1989-2019) by Islamic dictator and former Sudanese army officer Omar al-Bashir, whose hatred of Christianity was so great that he used Sudanese army helicopter gunships to strafe, bomb and burn churches and villages and settlements known to contain Christians.
The persecution of Christians in that nation became so bad that Christians and other non-Muslims had to form their own nation of the South Sudan, by force of arms. And even today, fierce Janjaweed Islamic tribesman still conduct raids over the border into the South Sudan, seeking loot and young women to take as slaves.
There is now an Islamic insurgency in Nigeria, and also in neighboring nations such as Chad, Niger and parts of Cameroon, being carried out by such jihadist groups as the infamous Boko Haram.
The reality is that groups like the Taliban, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and ISIS, are not outliers or extremists of Islam. The members of these groups are doing as Mohammed commanded. They are well-within the mainstream of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence, traditional, custom and practice. The “lapsed Muslims” are, if any, those who fail to do these things and have become modernized or westernized to a degree.
That was the chief criticism of his fellow Muslims leveled by the foremost theorist of 20th century Islam, the influential Egyptian Sayyid Qutb – whose writings remain enormously influential even today, more than fifty years after his death. That Islam needed to return to its storied and “purer” past, and renounce the secularism and corruption introduced by the West.

I don’t like Churchill. He was a socialist, not in word, but in deed. And i dislike him even more after reading that quote. He sounds he believes in sciencism. He totally ruined great Brittan by setting the stage for socialist rule there, which would lead to the current condition of being over run with heathens, barbarians the most virulent of which are the very African muz he supposedly warned against. The socialist utopianists have one fatal flaw in common; their own arrogance to think they have the ability to order a just society apart from the clear teachings of Holy God through His Scripture. Churchill? No, I don’t like him at all.
