A few November headlines from the ongoing jihadist-genocide of Christians in Nigeria follow...
Coptic Christians suffer the double injustice of living under systematic discrimination by the Egyptian government, and also from regular members of Egyptian society who attack Copts and their property with impunity. The reality for Copts in Egypt is one of life as second-class citizens.
"Most of the native population converted to Islam over six centuries to escape the jizya [protection tax] and humiliations of dhimmi status. The term 'Copt' came to define the native Christian population that had not converted to Islam..." — Coptic Solidarity, a human rights organization, in a report titled, "Advocacy of Hatred Based on Religion or Belief."

Mozambique: Muslim terrorists raided a Christian village in the terrorism-plagued Cabo Delgado region, and killed four. The Islamic State later took credit for the attack. According to one report:
"Through propaganda channels, the group assumed that the attack on the 'Christian village' took place on Friday November 10, using machine guns by 'soldiers of the caliphate.' The attack took place during a ceremony in preparation for a female initiation ritual that was scheduled for Sunday November 12, with the terrorists entering the camp, firing bursts of gunfire."
Nigeria: A few November headlines from the ongoing jihadist-genocide of Christians in the African nation follow:
At Least 10 Christians Slain in Taraba State
Kidnapped Pastor Killed in Nigeria after Ransom Payment
Terrorists Kill Christian, Kidnap 25 Others in Northern Nigeria
Pastor Slain, Wife Kidnapped in Kaduna State
Pastor's Wife Shot Dead in Taraba State
General Muslim Violence and Hostility against Christians
Ireland: On Nov. 23, a Muslim man of Algerian origin stabbed a group of preschool children attending Saint Mary's, a private Catholic primary school in Dublin, as the children were leaving school around 1:30 pm. Three children — two girls and a boy aged between 5 and 6 — and a care assistant who tried to defend them, were stabbed in the assault. Stabbed near the heart, a 5-year-old girl was critically injured and, as of the last reporting from December, remains hospitalized in critical condition. According to one report:
"The motivation behind the attack remains unclear; however, considering the assailant's background and the specific target being children leaving from a well-known Irish Catholic primary school, an anti-Christian motive seems not unlikely."
Although the Algerian attacker had a prior criminal record, his order of deportation was revoked and in 2014 he was granted Irish citizenship. In response to the stabbing, angry Irish citizens took to the streets and rioted that evening.
Greece: On Nov. 11 in the town of Colonos, a 38-year-old Muslim man of Afghan origin knifed a 56-year-old Egyptian because the Egyptian had converted to Christianity. He was stabbed in the head and in one of his hands. He told police, who arrived on the scene and arrested the Afghan, that he was attacked "because he was a Muslim and was baptized a Christian."

10th August
St Laurence’s Day/ St Bertram’s Day
Tumblr media
Lawrence Before Valerian, frescoe by Bl. Fra Angelico (1447-50). Source: Wikipedia
Today is St Laurence’s Day. Laurence was a deacon of Rome and an early Christian martyr, swept up in the persecution of Christians by the Roman Emperor, Valerian in 258 AD. He was allegedly killed for his faith by being broiled alive in a gridiron, a fate so sadistic and imaginative that it might actually be true. Undaunted by his torture, Laurence is said to have declared to the Prefect who was overseeing his execution: “I am well done on this side, you can turn me over now.” These defiant words are highly unlikely and although the Romans were not averse to designing flamboyant deaths for those that offended them, it is just as likely the story of Laurence’s broiling may have arisen from a mistranslation of the actual judgement, which for Christian deacons during Valerian’s reign, was usually beheading. As an indication of the black humour prevalent in the early church when it came to martyred saints, Laurence was made the patron saint of cooks, bakers and confectioners.
10th August is also St Bertram’s Day. Legend states that Bertram was a prince of Mercia who eloped with an Irish princess. The couple took refuge in a forest and Bertram’s lover became pregnant. The day she was due to give birth, the prince hurried to fetch a midwife and the pair returned just in time to see his beloved being eaten by wolves. Shattered by the experience, Bertram dedicated his life to God, gave up earthly pursuits and lived the rest of his life as a hermit in Staffordshire. Sainthood soon followed.

WHAT IS PERSECUTION?
There has been discussion on this and other outlets about persecution of Christians in the UK. There is a variety of opinion in the church: some such as Andrea Williams of Christian Concern argue that persecution already exists, others such as Simon Calvert of the Christian Institute say Christians are challenged but not persecuted. Still others including Rowan Williams think Christians should…

When Saying There are only 2 Genders [Sexes] Gets You Arrested in Canada
The chronically fragile have been working overtime in Canada as of late (thanks to the National Post for the article).  Apparently respecting the material reality we all share can get you in trouble with the authorities as Josh Alexander found out. “That Canada is becoming less tolerant comes as no surprise, but even so a Catholic high school getting one of their 16-year-old students arrested is…

Extreme Christian Persecution
In the last days (ie, during the Tribulation) the persecution of Christians will reach an epidemic level.  There are some early signs of this happening right now today in our world, occurring in fits and starts, but nothing sustained and lasting.  When this begins in earnest it will be like someone poured a tanker full of gas on top of a pile of rocket fuel and threw a match at it.  Again, we are…

For those of you who are aware of David Wood, you know of course that he and his equally famous friend Nabeel Qureshi are no longer on YouTube, first because Nabeel passed away, and 2ndly because David Wood had become primarily interested in evangelizing to Muslims, and YouTube decided to pull down and censor a lot of his videos for being critical of Islam. David Wood's videos are now on a privately hosted website.
His former channel, however, with its massive follower count, was turned over to another colleague of his named Hatun Tash. Ms. Tash is also an evangelist to Muslims. Her channel claims she has, "in a 3-year period, brought 1,000 Muslims to Jesus Christ, including 17 imams." She has survived 2 attempts on her life by certain radical muslims who seem dedicated to trying to assassinate her.
On December 21st, the Youtube channel Hatun Tash DCCI Ministries livestreamed a video. The man on this video, as you can clearly see, is not Ms. Tash, but her friend Dr. Jay Smith who reports that Hatun Tash has been missing for over a month and has not contacted anyone, even her own team.
For some reason, the police keep shutting down missing persons reports on her.
They are now asking people, especially in the UK, to help find her since the police are of no use and also put political pressure on the authorities to investigate. She was last seen in the UK (apparently in London?) on November 19th.

The Meghans are global frauds. Every "good" deed, Every word & Every dollar is a GRIFT. "Nigerian girls & women" my arse.💔
Do they really expect us to believe that a global games event could ever be hosted by a country that repeatedly loses track of women & children? Harry and Meghan have the lowest of low in IQs but the rest of the world can see that THIS poverty tourism trip is yet another SUSSEX SCAM.
No country will send disabled athletes or veterans to compete in a country that cannot keep track of school kids. Shame on Nigeria's Defense Minister and all at Invictus who are involved in this fraudulent visit.

March 8, 2024
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — "Security forces swept through large forests in Nigeria’s northwest region on Friday in search of nearly 300 children abducted from their school by motorcycle-riding gunmen in the latest mass kidnapping, which analysts and activists blamed on the failure of intelligence and a slow security response.
The abduction of the 287 children in Kaduna state, near the West African nation’s capital, is one of the largest school kidnappings in the decade since the kidnapping of schoolgirls in Borno state’s Chibok village in 2014 stunned the world. Analysts and activists say the security lapses that allowed that mass abduction remain.
The victims of the latest attack — among them at least 100 children aged 12 or under — were surrounded and marched into a forest just as they were starting the school day, said locals in Kuriga town, located 55 miles (89 kilometers) from the city of Kaduna. One man was shot dead as he tried to save the students, school authorities said."
J-P Mauro - published on 03/14/24
"With no word from the abductors, the bishops are calling on the state to identify the kidnappers and save the hostages.
The remote town of Kuriga, in Nigeria’s Kaduna state, is still reeling after dozens of armed extremists kidnapped hundreds of students out of their classes in broad daylight on the morning of March 7. Worried parents are now calling for government intervention, after days without any word from the abductors. As of March 13, the children have yet to be found. 
The AP reports that at least 287 students were abducted – with about 100 of them aged 12 or under – making it one of the largest kidnappings since the 2014 abduction of the Chibok girls, when 275 girls were taken from their school by Boko Haram.
The parallels between the two kidnappings have created more worry for parents, as even to this day nearly 100 of the Chibok girls remain missing. 
The March 7 kidnapping saw children taken from the school just as the day was starting, at around 8 a.m.. They were herded into the forest. It took authorities several hours to respond to the scene and begin a search operation, but it is unclear how deep into the forest the kidnappers went.
Locals have suggested that the abductors belong to a group of bandits who have been terrorizing remote villages in Nigeria’s northwest and central regions.
14-year-old Nigerian girl could declared a martyr. Nigeria is one of the places of most intense suffering for Christians in our day.
Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of Makurdi has called on the government to intercede on behalf of the Christian population, which he said is being targeted by these attacks. Bishop Anagbe told OSV: 
“The kidnappings, killings and destroying churches we are experiencing every day are aimed at finishing Christians. We are worried that despite such killings and kidnappings, the government has never arrested anyone. As a church, we now demand that the government act quickly to stop these vices that continue to dishearten people.”
I try hard not to hate anyone, but The Meghans sure know how to push the right buttons. 🤐🤬
Safety 1st: The UK is unsafe but African countries where Nigerian schoolgirls are kidnapped & Zika Zones for childbearing royals are no problem.

A famous Christian priest has recently been stabbed while preaching. Mar Mari.
He has asked for prayers not only for his health but also for the person who stabbed him.
This hurts.
Christianity persecution is getting worse.
Thousands of Christians have been killed, and almost 10k churches were attacked last year. (From what ive heard)
But we still dont lose faith. Pray for those who hurt you, leave the revenge for God.
“The only thing evil hates is forgiveness.”
