Not one bishop of the Church of England stood with him.
Nissar’s “crime” carries a death sentence in eleven nations on this earth.
Now look at what happens where this ideology governs without restraint.
In Nigeria, more than 100,000 Christians have been massacred since 2009. 19,000 churches burned or destroyed. Five million men, women, and children driven from their homes.
This is not history. It is now.
Just before midnight on July 26, militants entered the village of Naridon and went house to house, shooting. Thirty Christians were killed. Eleven were children. The youngest was three years old.
On August 1, thousands gathered for a single funeral Mass. Twenty-seven caskets.
This is not a distant tragedy. It is the destination.
And that ideology now has political sponsorship inside the United States – with a partner supplying it lawyers, funding, and votes.
Start in Dearborn, Michigan.
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell prayed at President Trump’s inauguration. Today he says Christians there come to him quietly, from every corner of the city, with the same message: “I’m with you, but I’m afraid to say it.”
Afraid to say they follow Christ. In America.
Sewell describes a city where the call to prayer is broadcast over loudspeakers, where the public schools certify that every ounce of meat served to children is prepared according to Islamic ritual law, and where his own wife’s life was threatened – the man’s name and address handed to police – and nothing happened.
“Think about being in a Christian nation,” he said, “being afraid to talk about Christ.”
Then look at our schools.
At two of the top public high schools in Virginia, students filmed promotional videos for their Muslim student clubs showing classmates hooded, dragged away, and thrown into car trunks – weeks after the anniversary of the October 7th massacre. The district disciplined them. Congress opened an investigation. And then a national Islamic advocacy group hauled the school system into federal court, arguing that punishing the students was itself discrimination.
The provocation comes from one side. The lawyers come from the other.
Then look at New York City.
The largest city in America is now run by a self-described Democratic Socialist who took his oath of office on the Quran – elected with six figures of help from a network of Islamist organizations, including one whose leaders have been tied to terror-financing investigations. It’s why he can visit a mosque in the morning and march in an LGBTQ parade that afternoon.
The socialists supply the political machine and the moral cover. The Islamists supply the ideology and the money. Neither could do this alone. Together, they are formidable.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” – John 15:18
Jesus told us this would come. He did not tell us to be silent about it
That freedom is not a possession. It is a responsibility.
