Ethnic Cleansing in Islam

Commentary by Dr. Gerhard Falk

        

The Persecution of Christians in Muslim Countries

Libya is a country west of Egypt. The majority of the population is Muslim. This is also true of Egypt, whose population s 10% Christian and 90% Muslim.

On the 9th of February 2019, a video was shown on American television depicting the beheading of twenty Christians by a Muslim group called IS . The Christians were wearing red jump suits and the terrorists wore black. Each Christian captive was held by a Muslim standing behind him, ready to cut the throat of the Christians accused of being filled “with spite” against Muslims. Christian captives, called “People of the Cross” by the Muslims who swore “by Allah” to mix the captives’ blood with the body of Sheik Osama bin Laden.  Calling Christians pagans, Muslims claim that Christians have been given a chance to convert to Islam but refused to do so.  During the beheading of the Christians, the Muslims sang an a capella chant.  They also called out, "We will conquer Rome," meaning the Catholic church.

In 1947, two years after the end of the Second World War, the British occupation of India came to an end. This led to the establishment of Pakistan, an area west of India, which is almost entirely inhabited by Muslims. Nevertheless, a few Christians have remained in Pakistan, leading to religious persecution. On August 16, 2023, twenty-six churches in Pakistan were burned down.  Riots against Christians ensued and hundreds of Christians were murdered on the grounds that the Christians were guilty of blasphemy. Blasphemy consists of speaking negatively of the prophet Mohammed, the founder of Islam. There is no freedom of speech in Pakistan.  The riot led to the burning of Christian homes as well as the seizure by the Pakistan government of the property of Sikhs, adherents of a religion related to Hinduism.

There are more than twenty countries in the world in which Islam is the only permitted religion. In all of these Muslim countries, Christianity as well as Judaism are prohibited, despite the evidence that Islam is directly related to Judaism and Christianity, so that Jewish food laws, Jewish monotheism, and a belief in Jesus as a prophet are also practiced.

Except for Morocco, a predominantly Islamic country, Muslims cannot tolerate the existence of other religions.

This raises the questions of how American Muslims can deal with Christians and Jews in America, where Muslims are only one percent of the population. In New York State, Muslims constitute 470,000 believers, who are required to kill all Jews and Christians . 

Muslims support Sharia law, which does not allow non Islamic beliefs  but encourages religious persecution of the “nonbelievers.”

“Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum.”

Shalom u'vracha.
