Islamophobia, Christophobia and Kafirphobia
In December 2018 the Foreign Office commissioned a report about the scale of persecution of Christians around the world with the intention of producing recommendations for actions by the UK Government. In July 2019, just a couple of days ago in fact, details were released at a press conference held jointly by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and the report’s author Philip Mountstephen, Anglican Bishop for Truro. The full report should be published later in the month.
It is indeed welcome news that HMG is moving towards recognising what people like Raymond Ibrahim and Patrick Sookhdeo of the Barnabas Fund have been saying for years but the report is compromised from the start by its reluctance to identify the main cause.
Here are some excerpts, with my comments following:
“An estimated one-third of the world’s population suffers from religious persecution in some form, with 80% of them being Christians.”
Do we know who 80% of the persecutors are? I think we do but the Bishop downplays the issue.
“Christian persecution has multiple drivers and as such it deserves special attention. More specifically it is certainly not limited to Islamic majority contexts. So this review is not a stalking horse for the Islamophobic far right, nor does it give the Islamophobic right a stick to beat Islam with.”
No, it is not limited to Islamic contexts but the great majority of the persecution of Christians is carried out in Islamic contexts, by Muslims. This list shows the details (it sometimes takes a couple of attempts to load it). We all know that but it seems that to acknowledge it means being automatically consigned to the “Islamophobic far right”.
The Bishop naturally finds space for a spot of nos quoque self-flagellation.
“One thinks with shame of the Crusades, the inquisition and the pogroms….”
Those Crusades will be the belated and very limited response to several hundred years of jihad around the Mediterranean, no doubt. If you have not seen this graphic juxtaposition of jihad and the Crusades by Bill Warner, now is the time to do so.
The report recommends that:
“The UK should be prepared to impose sanctions against perpetrators of FoRB (freedom of religion or belief) abuses and should seek a [UN] security council resolution urging all governments in the Middle East and North Africa to protect Christians and other persecuted minorities.”
Fine, something must be done, but it is the following two recommendations which really caught my interest:
“Foreign Office staff should be given training in religious literacy and belief dynamics.”
What does that mean? You can bet your bottom dollar it won’t mean getting to grips with the two things in Islamic doctrine that really matter, Islamic supremacism and the means to bring it about, jihad. Without understanding those the Foreign Office staff will be as clueless as the clergy, the difference being that the latter are wilfully so.
“The government should name the phenomenon of Christian discrimination and persecution, and undertake work to identify its particular character alongside similar definitions for other religions.”
According to the Press Association report this means giving the malice behind the persecution of Christians a name – Christophobia – to bring it into line with Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism.
The problem with this is that the overwhelming source of this malice is not identified so, for all the naive reader of this report will know, the problem is just one of free-floating Christophobia. Moreover, the reservoir of hatred in Islam is not reserved for Christians – they just happen to be on the border of Islamdom in Africa or among Muslims in the Middle East – but for all unbelievers.
Allah is quite open about it in the Koran. He made it very clear that anyone refusing to submit to him can expect unpleasantness in this life followed by extreme unpleasantness in the next. Therefore while Christians adopt and popularise the word Christophobia the rest of us should point out that it is just a subset of KAFIRPHOBIA. Lets spread the word.

बड़े भाई ! मैं धार्मिक ग्रन्थों को पढ़ने में रुचि रखता हूँ मेरा उपदेश किसी व्यक्ति या धर्म को ठेस पहुंचाना नही बल्कि इस्लाम विरोधी को जवाब देना है वो भी उनके धार्मिक पुस्तकों से प्रमाण के था। जो कि इस्लाम पर ताना काशी करते है।उन्हें खुद नही पता कि उनकी धार्मिक ग्रन्थ में क्या लिखा है और उनकी मान्यता क्या है केवल उन लोगो को सच्च का आईना दिखाना है । धन्यवाद
It might be of some interest to a few people that that a book with title of JIHAD IN THE WEST published in the year 1998 authored by Paul Eregosi ,was a man who was thinking ,a bit ahead of his time ,as in before 9/11 and then many Islamic horrors of jihad terrorism that hit London, Manchester, Madrid Paris as well as other Western nations of Europe .For above mentioned book of page 411 reads “Most worrying , both Islam and the West see each other as potential enemies of tomorrow .The future is a source of concern , not of optimism.”
For this year of 2019 in the “future” as seen from the time-frame of the year 1998 when that book was published. As the author thus had a valid point in what ie wrote in the above quote .
Moreover the threats of the jihadists towards the people of the nations of West .This has been further explained and revealed by in the book , by Robert Spencer ,THE HISTORY OF THE JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS .Which in page 367 informs the reader that “The early twenty- first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims: in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice ,Amsterdam, Madrid, Brussels, Berlin Munich ,Copenhagen…”
Those jihadists /Muslims with their insidious jihad-minded Muslims scheming for the subtle and not so subtle, Islamic conquest of Europe by every possible means, including the stealth and violent jihad which is, indeed, awful.
As explained by William Wagner in his book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD .Which informs the reader n page 195 “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategist who are seeking world dominance.”
Therefore, all Europeans and other Westerners would be wise to be on guard.
But Allah has endeared the Faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He has made hateful to you KUFR, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness;- (Qur’an 49:7)
IE KUFR is something that all true believing Muslims must hate.
Those sincere but naive people in that march ,in the above top picture, with that banner they hold that ,in part reads “Don’t scapegoat migrants ” and “Refuges welcome” are people who are ,sadly, unaware that they are only being used as tools as “useful idiots” by the radical left wing and the stealth jihadists.
For porous borders Mexico has enabled jihadists of al Qaeda and ISIS as well as other Muslim terrorists to enter into the United States. Furthermore, illegal immigration from Mexico is dangerous because of crime by gangs of hooligans who enter the US through pours borders with Mexico. As for example, the gang of thugs called MS-13 who originated in El Salvador the come into America through Mexico. Those gangsters commit crimes as murders, rapes, drug dealing. They are also known, for a price, to smuggle jihadists of Al Qaeda into America. In addition, to all this, with illegal immigration also comes higher welfare cost and an increased chances of the spread of contagious diseases, such as TB.
Furthermore, with more illegal come more environmental degradation and more urban sprawl. Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American troops who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not gangsters and jihadists. In conclusion all the above may be summed up by the wisdom found in the words of Ronald Reagan when he as, so well, stated “A nation without borders is not a nation.”
There are many Muslims who strongly dislike Christians. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even become violence against them and burn their Bibles. One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine. So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.
