Christian Persecution Follows US, UK and France in Kosovo, Libya, Iraq and Syria

Recent
interventions by America, France and the United Kingdom equates to Christian
persecution and enormous instability. This reality would appear to be a
constant Western policy because the same scenario keeps on happening. Of
course, in terms of numbers then Muslims have been killed in vast numbers based
on sectarianism and political motives. However, for minority Christian communities
in Kosovo, Libya, Iraq and Syria it is clear that Western meddling is creating
a nightmare for Christians.
The
latest massacre against Christians happened in Libya whereby seven Egyptian
Christians have been executed by suspected Islamists. Of course, during the
rule of Colonel Gaddafi in Libya the Christian community wasn’t singled out.
However, Western and Gulf powers utilized terrorists and mercenaries in order
to defeat Gaddafi in Libya therefore not surprisingly today this nation faces
growing Islamist militancy.
In Kosovo after the ending of this
conflict it is clear that many Orthodox Christian have been killed, churches
destroyed and many Christian areas have been written off the map. Indeed, even
today Orthodox Christians can’t fully travel around Kosovo because of the fear
of being attacked. Also, many ancient Orthodox Christian monuments have been
destroyed and now the indigenous Orthodox Christian community resides in
ghettoes in Kosovo.
In
Iraq it is clear that Saddam Hussein was both anti-Shia and anti-Kurd but
Christians did not face persecution under his watch. Yet when Iraq was invaded
then soon this would be followed by sectarianism, terrorism and anti-Christian
attacks. This reality led to the majority of Christians fleeing their homeland
because at no time were the various Christian communities deemed to be worthy
of being protected by Western troops. Instead,
just like the Orthodox Christians of Kosovo, the Christians of Iraq would soon
be in disarray after being abandoned by allied forces based on the political
whims of Western political elites in America and the United Kingdom.
The
government of Syria is now fighting for its survival therefore the various
Christian communities fear another Iraq. At the moment, Christians can
still worship freely in Syrian government controlled areas. Yet, in areas under
various terrorist and Takfiri groups, it is clear that Christians are being
pressured to convert to Islam, cleansed, murdered and other barbaric realities.
Despite this, political elites in
America, France and the United Kingdom are supporting feudal Gulf nations and
the whims of Turkey. Therefore, the survival of Christianity currently
depends on the government of Syria because clearly the majority of Christians
will flee if Western and Gulf sectarian backed terrorists win.
In
Libya the recent brutal execution of seven Egyptian Christians is following the
same pattern. Fox News in January 2014 says: “Libya’s Coptic Christians,
who number about 300,000, or 5 percent of the population, were allowed to
practice their faith under dictator Muammar Qaddafi. But since the strongman
was ousted from power, and ultimately killed, Muslim fundamentalists have
increasingly filled the power void. Last month, the national assembly voted in
favor of making Koranic law, or Shariah, the basis of all legislative
decisions, meaning Islam will shape all future banking, criminal and financial
cases.”
Further
down in the same article Fox News says: “The emerging political and legal
system’s orientation, combined with the rise of militants in the oil-rich
nation, has left Christians feeling like the promise of democracy in the wake
of Qaddafi’s fall has been broken.”
The
massacre of Egyptian Christians in Libya sums up the usual realities following
on from the meddling of America, France and the United Kingdom. Can this
reality in Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and Syria be a coincidence — or, does it mean that an anti-Christian agenda
is at the heart of major Western powers? The East Timorese witnessed the
same reality just like the Biafrans in Nigeria. Likewise, today Papuans in West
Papua face Islamization and Javanization in Indonesia but Western powers care
little. It would appear that Christians
are expendable when it comes to geopolitical concerns and appeasing the
anti-Christian and anti-Shia state of Saudi Arabia.
Orthodox
Christians fear to walk openly in Kosovo despite this land being the cradle of
Serbian Orthodox Christianity. Likewise, Christians fear to walk in Libya, Iraq
and Syria because of the meddling of Western powers.
