Afghan Christians are at risk of systematic murder

The 8000 to 12000 Christians still living in Afghanistan are at considerable risk of systematic elimination at the hands of the Taliban according to International Christian Concern

One Christian leader in country said Some known Christians are already receiving threatening phone calls They say We are coming for you

Frontier Alliance International Missions reports that the Taliban has a hit list of known Christians And Release International divulged that at least one Christian has been killed by the Taliban already

A YouTube video loaded over the weekend contains an encrypted message from an Afghan Christian He laments that the whole world has abandoned us and he says We have been left in the field by ourselves But we are not leaving the field We will fight harder and continue in Gods work

International Christian Concern interviewed another Christian in country who stated the decision of whether to leave or stay is not an easy one for them

AFGAHN CHRISTIAN If youre about to make a lot of mistakes based on fear if youre about to make that decision that God will give you the peace And with that peace either you will stay or you will leave out knowing both sides is going to be difficult One side of becoming a refugee asylum seeker is not going to be easy Staying under persecution is not going to be easy

But if God would give me the peace against that fear that you want to experience God at that moment like Habakkuk He complained but at the end he started worshiping God We want to see the Afghans really see God that He is the sovereign God He is strong He is still that mighty powerful God

Muslim Ugandan father kills son for his Christian faith

Tragically Tabiruka Tefiiro a 20-year-old man in Uganda who had converted from Islam to Christianity in 2019 was tied up and murdered by his own Muslim father on Sunday after he refused to forsake his faith in Christ reports Morning Star News

Before his untimely death in the Kibuku district his aunt recalled that Tefiiro told his father I am mature enough to join any religion that I feel like because I am above 18 years old I want to confirm that I am saved by the grace of God I cant renounce my Christian faith now or in the future

Matthew 1022 says You will be hated by all because of My name but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved

Fox News Pentagon reporter Couldnt fact check Biden fast enough

FOX News Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin quipped Friday thatPresident Bidens speech on the Kabul Airliftwas so full of misrepresentations that she couldnt fact-check it fast enough reports RealClearPoliticscom

GRIFFIN Im having a hard time digesting what we heard because I couldnt fact check it fast enough in real time because there were so many misrepresentations of what is happening on the ground To hear the President talk about still having an over-the-horizon capability -- to see what is happening with the remnants of al Qaeda ISIS the Corizon Group and even the Taliban -- that would have required partners on the ground

What weve seen in recent days is that those partners on the ground have been abandoned Theyre in hiding theyre fearing for their lives They fled the country We dont have partners We dont have eyes and ears The whole reason that US military cannot leave the airport to go and rescue any Americans who are out in Kabul when British and French special forces can do so is that they dont have any partners left So I dont see how you can say that with a straight face that theyre going to be over the horizon capabilities to see the terror threat in Afghanistan when this is all said and done

We heard from international leaders around the world that NATO Allies were gobsmacked at the sudden announcement and withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan

Graham Impeach Biden if he leaves Americans or Afghan allies behind

Republican Senate Judiciary Committee member Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told Fox News on Friday that if President Joe Biden leaves behind any American or Afghani ally in Afghanistan then he should be impeached

GRAHAM Were duty-bound to get every American citizen out Were honor-bound to get those Afghans who fought along our side out If we leave any Americans behind if we leave thousands of those Afghans who fought bravely along our side behind Joe Biden deserves to be impeached for a high crime and misdemeanor of dereliction of duty

Joe Biden has been a wrecking ball regarding foreign policy national security for 40 years He was told by our military we need a residual force on the ground

Any military commander would be court martialed for leaving our people behind And I think the Commander-in-Chief owes it to every American citizen and owes it to the Afghans who fought along our side to get them out because if we leave them behind theyre going to get slaughtered

Biden Withdrawal from Afghanistan led to inevitable chaos ensuing

In an exclusive interview with ABC News George Stephanopoulos and the presidents first since the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban President Joe Biden stood firm in his defense of the United States withdrawal but asserted for the first time that he believes the chaos was unavoidable

STEPHANOPOULOS Weve all seen the pictures Weve seen those hundreds of people packed into a C-17 Weve seen Afghans falling from the sky

BIDEN That was four days ago five days ago

STEPHANOPOULOS What did you think when you first saw those pictures

BIDEN Well I thought was We have to gain control of this We have to move in a way in which we can take control of that airport And we did

STEPHANOPOULOS So you dont think this could have been handled this exit could have been handled better in any way No mistakes

BIDEN No I dont think it could have been handled in a way that there We were going to go back in hindsight and look But the idea that somehow theres a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing I dont know how that happens

STEPHANOPOULOS So for you that was always priced into the decision

BIDEN Yes

Gingrich on Bidens grasp of Afghanistan He has no idea whats going on

Appearing on Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity former House Speaker Newt Gingrich addressed the disturbing images coming out of Afghanistan and President Joe Bidens complicity in this American foreign policy disaster

HANNITY While ISIS grew under Biden and Obama ISIS was systematically destroyed and defeated under Donald Trump He said it He did it And the Taliban they wouldnt have tried this under Trump would be my argument Your thoughts

GINGRICH The Biden worldview seems to be attack your allies ignore your enemies pretend that bad things arent happening I mean I watched his speech this afternoon I thought for most people if you took what you were seeing live coming out of Afghanistan the crowds the fear the takeover by the Taliban And then you looked at this speech where this guy who was clearly totally out of it he has no idea whats going on

His number one goal in that speech was to blame anybody else He said you know The buck stops here He didnt mean that The buck stops with the Afghan army the buck stops with Donald Trump The buck stops somewhere else But the fact is this is a major American defeat Its going to have huge consequences Its going to embolden the Chinese whether its in Taiwan or the South China Sea Or frankly theyre going to become allies of the Taliban because they want the minerals in which northern Afghanistan is enormously rich

How you can help 10000 Afghan Christians under death sentence

With all civilian flights out of Afghanistan cancelled indefinitely and the borders controlled by the Taliban the 10000 Christians there are in extreme danger Almost all are converts from Islam This means that they are considered apostates by the Muslim culture and therefore under a death sentence

The Taliban is going door-to-door to identify Christians They are taking names of suspected Christians Christians are getting phone calls from the Taliban saying were coming for you Many Christians are in hiding

Several judges and government officials have been murdered Pray for those who will face the ultimate threat turn back to Islam or die

Listen

MUSTAFA Its our belief that one day Mujahideen will have victory and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan but all over the world We are not in a hurry We believe it will come one day Jihad will not end until the last day

Iranian Christian immigrant parent US propaganda worse than Irans

An angry parent of children who attend Loudoun County Virginia government schools addressed the school board this past Tuesday night and slammed the garbage ideology that teachers push on the students The man identified as Dimis Christophe is an Iranian Christian immigrant and spoke about oppression he and his ancestors have faced reports RealClearPoliticscom

CHRISTOPHE Dear disgraced board members you think youre woke Well Im going to wake you a little bit more Im a Chaldean married to an Armenian We are minorities of the minorities in this country Our ancestors and people survived massacres of the church and the ISIS I grew up in Iran as a Christian And when we went to school as much as the government wanted to indoctrinate us the teachers didnt allow it The teachers did their job teach us science math biology etc They didnt try to shove propaganda down our throats like the Ayatollahs did

Christophe the Iranian Christian immigrant objected to the misguided ideology of the US government school teachers of his children

CHRISTOPHE Now in the 21st century we have social justice warrior so-called teachers are trying to shove their garbage ideology down our kids throats These are our children not yours Their job is not to raise my child or my neighbors child Their job is to teach our kids math science biology literature and thats it Not ideology

Christophe was especially upset that teachers and students alike are being mandated to address boys pretending to be girls as girls and girls pretending to be boys as boys

CHRISTOPHE Now you want to push pronouns How does that help them Does that teach them how to add You want to push that garbage down my kids throats I will make you call my kids king and queen Dont waste our money

The meeting was dominated by the topic of Policy 8040 the so-called Rights of Transgender and Gender-Expansive Students Sadly despite the negative feedback the Loudoun County Virginia School Board voted to pass it

Jack Shields one commentator said Thats a pretty scary thought that our schools are more likely to brainwash kids than the schools of Iran Its time to abolish the federal Dept of Education Nothing in education has improved since this bloated bureaucracy was created Over 95 of political contributions by the employees of this agency go to Democrats
