WP: Christians can’t ignore the suffering of Muslims

Michael Gerson writes in the Washington Post:

…American Christianity, has its own self-examination to conduct. The largest humanitarian disaster of our time — involving 4 million Syrian refugees and 7.6 million internally displaced — has mainly befallen Muslims. The response? Charitable giving by Americans to international causes has gone down for two consecutive years. Some Republican presidential candidates seem indifferent to the plight of refugees, and even some evangelical leaders have joined them.

To respond to the AIDS crisis, American Christians had to overcome a belief that the disease was deserved. To respond to the Syrian refugee crisis, Christians must overcome their discomfort with Islam and their belief that conflict among Muslims is none of their concern.

Is the Christian faith merely a cover for tribalism? Or will it demonstrate its essence in service to the refugees of another faith who did nothing to deserve their fate?

Muslims never seem to have had much trouble ignoring Christian suffering. Why should Christians help people who want to destroy them?

Comments at the WP:

* Europe is being torn apart by an influx of Muslims who cannot and will not integrate into Western culture. I’m no fan of Christianity and Judaism with their Iron Age war god and culture of ignorance, but Islam is one step worse and I don’t want to be around those who believe this claptrap and try to impose it on others.

* If they perhaps could stop video taping the beheading of their enemy or refrain from putting a man in a cage and burning him alive. I mean geeze, the optics are terrible.

* The history of the “religion of peace” is hardly that.
Feuds, mass slaughters, “honor” killings, NO economic or intellectual progress
(yeah I know, algebra for the PC apologists) and general waste of oxygen.
Then 3,000 innocent people dead on 9/11.
Let them all go to meet allah and their 72 virgins.
I wouldn’t waste a dime on this miserable blight on humanity.
A “moderate” muslim is like a “centrist” Democrat or a government “worker.”

* Michael Gerson is profoundly ignorant in any subject as he has no high school education.
Why Muslims Come to the West
Islam is incompatible with Western culture, history, judicial system and civilization. Remember, our judicial system based on Judeo-Christian values. Islam objects to these values and the Koran calls for the extermination of Christians and Jews. The Muslims’ objective is the creation of a global Caliphate and the establishment of Shariah law. All this eventually leads to civil war, unless we will take care and deport all Muslims from US and Europe. Look what is going on in Britain, France and other countries where Muslims clearly declare that their primary objective to overcome current social systems and replace it with Sharia law. Read below the confessions of leading Muslims around the world, including in America and watch the Fitna on:

Omar Ahmad, co-founder of the Council of American-Islamic Relations:
“Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam … Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan makes clear Islam’s aggressive role in subordinating other worldly religions to it, claiming,
“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the believers our army.”
Algerian leader Houari Boumédienne said at the United Nations in 1974:
“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”
Dr. Ja`far Sheikh Idris in article “Separation Of Church And State”
http://www.islaam.com/Article.aspx?id=559 said:
“Secularism cannot be a solution for countries with a Muslim majority or even a sizeable minority, for it requires people to replace their God-given beliefs with an entirely different set of man-made beliefs. Separation of religion and state is not an option for Muslims because is requires us to abandon Allah’s decree for that of a man.”

Al-Jazeera’s Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi, who is widely hailed as a moderate reformer in the West, said:
“Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and victor,” and “the conquest this time will not be by the sword but by preaching and ideology.”
A Saudi Sheikh, Muhammad bin Abd Al-Rahman Al-‘Arifi, imam of the mosque of King Fahd Defense Academy, said:
Muslims “will control the land of the Vatican; we will control Rome and introduce Islam in it….”
Also read the article “Arab-American author outlines secret 20-year strategy to undermine country” by FROM JOSEPH FARAH’S G2 BULLETIN; and the documentary book “Muslim Mafia” that exposes secret documents and plans for overturn US laws and government to sharia state.
Plus, remember, all Muslim organizations have close ties to global terrorist organizations, like Hamas, Hezbullah, Brotherhood.
Only the total deportation of Muslims will save western countries and civilization from collapse.

* Muslims need to stay in their own countries and fight for a civil society. What good does running away do? Muslims who immigrate to other countries rarely adapt their host countries culture; they create enclaves of sharia law and Islamic culture in their new homes. This has not worked out well for Western Europe but Western Europe’s dedication to multi culturalism, moral relativity and political correctness cloud their decisions and may doom their societies in the long run.

* What is it with liberal journalists and soft mindedness anyway?

Helping mass numbers of Muslims gain entry into a Western country is a prescription for slow motion suicide. Islamic values are counter to western values. That’s obvious except people are afraid to state the obvious because it’s not PC.

* So tired of the apology tours and sheer avoidance of the facts – yes, there are over 1 Billion Muslims world wide; yes, some of them are peaceful; but NO, it is not a religion of peace when every day there are beheadings, gays killed for just being alive, women stoned to death, incessant chanting of death to America and death to Israel, state pledges of the destruction of Israel, women and children targeted for murder to control a population…YES, we have every reason to fear Islam…it is not peaceful in its daily, worldwide war on everything that is not Muslim.

* IF WE COULD JUST FIGURE OUT WHO’S CAUSING THE PROBLEM

* Muslims tend to cut Christians’ heads off so why should we “bend over” (pardon the pun) to help them do it?
