The deliberate and ruthless targeting of Christians all over the world by Muslims continues as Ethiopia joins the list of countries where Christians are under attack - just a couple of days ago five Christian churches in Ethiopia were burned down by angry Muslim mobs.
From the report at AINA:
International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that in the past two days, thousands of Muslims have razed five churches and the homes of two evangelists in Asendabo, Ethiopia. Christian leaders are asking for protection after the Muslim attackers continued burning churches even after the federal police were sent to the town.
The Muslims started the attacks yesterday after falsely accusing the Christians of desecrating the Qur'an. More than ten thousand Muslims shouted "Allah Akbar" (Allah is great) as they burned down five evangelical churches. The government sent the federal police force to protect the Christians after the Muslims burned down the first three churches. The Muslims overwhelmed the police force and burned down two more churches today.
So, there we have it...another country where Christians are being persecuted and killed because of only one thing - their faith is an abomination to Islam. So we can add Ethiopia to the likes of Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Pakistan and Indonesia. And the list keeps growing and growing.
You read it above in the excerpt where Christians in Ethiopia are crying out for protection ...and I ask you, who in these islamic countries will lift a finger to save these people? That's right. No one.
Let's look back a few years...well, more than a few years...let's look back centuries and centuries when Christian pilgrims were being murdered and attacked when they made their way to pay homage in the Holy Land. Those Christian pilgrims were being slaughtered until the Crusaders were enlisted to protect them. At that time, the Templar Knights evolved into a force of protection that shook the islamic world in the Middle East - and to this day, islamists cry out the word "crusader" in total rage, because Christians at that time actually dared to take on the murdering hordes of Mohammed.
So what is different today? Are we to stand by and watch the slaughter of thousands of innocent Christian men, women and children in these lands? Did anyone in their right mind ever think things would NOT come down to this...a Holy War? The war between Muslims and Christians (and Jews) never did end - it has carried on since a madman sat down on a desert sand dune and penned the book of hate.
And it will continue to carry on until the final battle.

Ethiopian Muslims Burn Down Five Churches, More Attacks Feared
Washington -- International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that in the past two days, thousands of Muslims have razed five churches and the homes of two evangelists in Asendabo, Ethiopia. Christian leaders are asking for protection after the Muslim attackers continued burning churches even after the federal police were sent to the town.
The Muslims started the attacks yesterday after falsely accusing the Christians of desecrating the Qur'an. More than ten thousand Muslims shouted "Allah Akbar" (Allah is great) as they burned down five evangelical churches. The government sent the federal police force to protect the Christians after the Muslims burned down the first three churches. The Muslims overwhelmed the police force and burned down two more churches today.
Speaking with ICC, Christian leaders expressed their fear that Muslims will start killing the Christians unless the government sends more security forces to contain the Muslim attackers.
At the time of the writing of this report, none of the Muslim attackers have been arrested. The government officials detained some Christians and took them to the nearby Jimma town stating that they need to do that for their own security.
Ethiopia is a Christian majority country and was one of the first nations to accept Christianity. However, in the areas of the country where Muslims are the majority, Christians face attacks.
"We urge Ethiopian government forces to send reinforcement to protect the Christians in the city of Asendabo from the Muslim attacks. We ask Christians around the world to prevent any further attacks by calling the Ethiopian officials in their countries and asking them to protect the Christians and their property," said ICC's Regional Manager for Africa, Jonathan Racho.
