Churches Have Become The #1 Target For Hate Attacks: An Average Of 105 Every Single Month
Don't expect to see Jihadi leaders donning crosses and holding minutes
of silence for yet another slaughter of Christians by their brethren.
Judging by the smile faces and thumbs up on social media from people
with Arabic names its easy to see why we need to remove kebab urgently.

The bombings in Sri Lanka have once again put a spotlight on the rising tide of violence against Christians all over the world. According to Open Doors USA, an average of 105 churches and/or Christian buildings are
burned or attacked every month. That is more than three per day, and
almost all of those attacks get ignored by the mainstream media in the
western world. In addition, an average of 345 Christians are killed for faith-related reasons every single month.
Of course these numbers will soon be out of date, because violence
against Christians continues to escalate all over the globe, and the
horrifying attacks that we just witnessed in Sri Lanka are a perfect
example. The following comes from CBS News…
A series of eight bombings in Sri Lanka targeting Christian churches
and hotels in three cities killed at least 2900 people and wounded up to
450 others on Easter Sunday. Defense Minister Ruwan Wijewardene
described the coordinated blasts as a terrorist attack by religious
extremists.
More specifically, the attackers were Muslim extremists. Why does the mainstream media have to be so politically-correct all the time?
(It's not political correctness, it is open satanism, as has been completely demonstrated Mikey)
Of course this comes right on the heels of the fire that almost
destroyed the Notre Dame Cathedral. Authorities are still attempting to
determine the cause of that fire, but we do know that many other
churches have been hit by vandals and arsonists in France since the beginning of February…
Vandals and arsonists have targeted French churches in a wave of attacks that has lasted nearly two months.
More than 10 churches have been hit since the beginning of February,
with some set on fire while others were severely desecrated or damaged.
In an attempt to copy what happened at Notre Dame, a philosophy professor was caught bringing gas cans and lighter
fluid to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York…
The man? brought gas cans and lighter fluid into St.
Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City has taught philosophy at different
colleges in New York and New Jersey, school officials said. (no surprise, as shoving sodomite lifestyles down our throats is the new normal)
Marc Lamparello, 37, covered in death skull and sigil tattoos was arrested on Wednesday night and was charged
with attempted arson and reckless endangerment. He was taken into
custody after a security guard at the cathedral on Fifth Avenue in
Manhattan spotted him. He was released without bail!!!
Hillary supporter and big Tinder user, no surprise again.
(If it were a white person who was normal and christian doing this, his bail would have been denied and he would be for months, vilified nightly on the evening news.)
Fortunately a great tragedy was averted in that case, but most
churches around the world are very “soft targets” with absolutely no
security whatsoever. And these days, there is literally nowhere that is safe.
Attacks on churches are happening literally all over the globe, and
sometimes they happen right in the middle of a worship service.
For instance, here is an example from the Philippines that recently made worldwide headlines…
Two suicide attackers detonate two bombs during a Mass in a Roman
Catholic cathedral on the largely Muslim island of Jolo in the southern
Philippines, killing 23 and wounding about 100 others.
Earlier this year in India, a group of Christians was absolutely
horrified when they arrived for worship only to find that their church had burned completely to the ground…
Christians were horrified to see Pentecostal Church in India’s
Telangana state completely engulfed by black smoke when they arrived for
worship. On closer inspection much of the inside of the church,
including furniture, the pulpit, the sound system, fans, carpets, and
lights, were burned to ashes during the attack on February 2 at about
11am. The devastating attack on the church, home to 200 worshippers, has
left Christians from ten villages without a place to worship.
By a very wide margin, churches are the number one target for hate attacks, and it is only going to get worse.
Sadly, churches in the U.S. are increasingly being attacked as well.
You may not have heard about it in the news, but three churches in
Louisiana were recently destroyed by arson…
Much of Monica Harris’s identity is tied to the Greater Union Baptist
Church, a 129-year-old sanctuary that has been at the center of her
family for generations. As a child, she was dunked into a baptismal
basin and then paraded like a princess up the aisle in a white dress and
white patent leather shoes. She was married at the church, and she said
goodbye to her parents there, too.
And so she felt like a piece of her was missing when she set eyes
upon the charred remains of Greater Union, one of three predominantly
black churches in St. Landry Parish, La., that law enforcement
authorities said were set ablaze and destroyed over the stretch of 10 days.
In previous articles, I have argued that all churches are going to
need armed security from this point forward. The world has changed, and
we need to change with it.
When I was growing up, I never imagined that someone might come in to
my church and start shooting, but over the last several decades we have
seen such a scenario play out numerous times. Just check out this list of fatal church shootings that have happened since Columbine…

Christian persecution is on the rise all over the world, and it is likely to intensify greatly in the years ahead.
But of course most of the time the mainstream media attempts to
ignore this growing trend as much as possible. When there are
spectacular attacks with large numbers of deaths like we just witnessed
in Sri Lanka they will cover the story, but other than that they try
very hard to avoid any stories that would put Christians in a
sympathetic light. They can try to ignore what is happening all they want, but
it doesn’t change the fact that hatred for the Christian faith is
growing, and what we have been witnessing in recent weeks is just the
beginning.
