Mass Exodus of Christians from Muslim World
I was thinking we should box up a bunch of those COEXIST bumper stickers and send them to the Muslim world.....because clearly they are NOT getting the message of tolerance and religious freedom. Very soon there may be NO CHRISTIANS in Iraq, Egypt and Afghanistan.
A mass exodus of Christians is currently underway. Millions of Christians are being displaced from one end of the Islamic world to the other.
We are reliving the true history of how the Islamic world, much of which prior to the Islamic conquests was almost entirely Christian, came into being.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom
recently said: “The flight of Christians out of the region is unprecedented and it’s increasing year by year.” In our lifetime alone “Christians might disappear altogether from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt.”
Ongoing reports from the Islamic world certainly support this conclusion: Iraq was the earliest indicator of the fate awaiting Christians once Islamic forces are liberated from the grip of dictators.
In 2003, Iraq’s Christian population was at least one million. Today fewer than 400,000 remain—the result of an anti-Christian campaign that began with the U.S. occupation of Iraq, when countless Christian churches were bombed and countless Christians killed, including by crucifixion and beheading.
Now, as the U.S. supports the jihad on Syria’s secular president Assad, the same pattern has come to Syria: entire regions and towns where Christians lived for centuries before Islam came into being have now been emptied, as the opposition targets Christians for kidnapping, plundering, and beheadings, all in compliance with mosque calls telling the populace that it’s a “sacred duty” to drive Christians away.

Followers of Christ who are filled with the Holy Spirit ARE salt (preservative) and light (Truth into the darkness) into any area they go in the world. If you think the Muslim nations are perverted, corrupt, violent and ignorant now...just wait until every last Christian is chased out.
It makes one wonder if Christ is going to give us a foreshadowing of what the world will look like after the rapture by showing us how nasty the Muslim nations are when devoid of Christ?

Too bad they can't immigrate to Israel, although (surprising to most American Zionists) our brothers and sisters in Christ are persecuted there too. Please continue to pray for the persecuted Christians in Israel.

According to Israeli law, a converted Jew has no right to repatriation, so Christians have to deny their faith when entering the country, in other words, to renounce Christ. Children of Jewish Christians are bullied in schools. Moreover, Christian parents of Jews are not allowed to teach their children faith. If Social Services find out that a Jewish child is a Christian who fasts, prays and goes to the temple with her parents, the authorities have the right to take away custody of the child from the parents, as it is considered child abuse.
Israeli writer Israel Shamir, "In the homeland of Jesus Christianity is persecuted: churches are set on fire, there are laws against missionaries. In Knesset the Gospel was publicly destroyed."

Yes, when I was in Israel we heard from a Messianic Jew who felt it necessary to hide his faith.
Also, last February we had a Jewish Rabbi who had accepted Christ and he told me that if a Jew is ever at a city that has no synogogue that he can find a Muslim mosque and pray in it. According to him the Jews feel closer to Islam than they do to Christianity...as they would never be told to offer up prayers in a Christian church. Certainly we need to pray for the Jews, the Muslims and the Christians who are caught there in a very dark place.
