Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all.

Muslim persecution of Christians continues in many parts of the World. The plight of Christians in the West Bank and, especially, Gaza continues to worsen, as described here and here.

One of the worst places in the world to be a Christian is in the northern states of Nigeria where Shari'a law has been forced on the entire population by the Muslim majority. This article describes the struggle for survival of a church in the Nigerian province of Kano.

Despite this, I have decided to stop posting on this blog for the following reasons:-

1) I am merely repeating stories that are reported elsewhere; I'm not able to add much by way of comment and analysis to these stories.

2) The scope of this blog is quite limited; it does not allow me to comment on many events and issues which I want to.

3) Some of the events I have commented on are quite appalling, even horrific. While I wish to expose the whining of Muslims in the west over relatively trivial issues, it is vitally important not to create (or increase) antagonism against them. This requires walking a fine line, which I do not think that I can do well enough.

My source for most of the stories I have commented on was either The Religion of Peace or Compass Direct News. If you wish to continue reading similar stories, you can find them there.

As my final comment, I would like to point out that the first, and most frequent, victims of Islamic extremism are Muslims. As such, they deserve our sympathy, not our hate.

Peace be with you.
