Discussion on Christian Persecution by Islam

Muhammad said

in Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, he said,

"I have been commanded to wage war against

all mankind

until they testify that there is no God but

Allah and that Muhammad is his prophet."

And after

Muhammad died,

Islam continued to grow very quickly

by the sword and by mili- military

conquest. They started conquering, and within a hundred

years

of Muhammad's death,

Islam conquered

seventy-five percent

of the Christian world at the time.

They conquered the churches,

their people,

their land.

They conquered all of it.

That church is also the tomb where Jesus was buried and

rose again, and under Islamic rule, that church was completely

destroyed.

Wow.

And instead,

they built a mosque

next to it

called Al-Aqsa Mosque.

On the very ground that Solomon's temple used to

stand, they built a mosque,

and they did this on purpose to make a point

that Islam is victorious over

Christ and Christianity.

Within w-- in one year alone,

thirty thousand churches were

destroyed across Egypt and Syria under

Muslim Caliph Hakim.

Wow.

Like Jesus said in John ten:ten,

"The thief comes only to steal-

Yeah

... kill

and destroy."

Destroy.

And this is exactly

what the enemy has been doing

for thousands of years.

Yeah.

He's been stealing territories from the kingdom of Heaven.

He's been stealing churches, holy sites.

He's been killing and persecuting millions and

millions of Christians

and destroying churches, cities,

nations. This is still happening

today to Christians and to churches,

not just in the Middle East, but all across the world.

Anywhere where Islam exists, there is persecution of Christians.

Solomon says, "What has been will be again, for

there is nothing new under the sun." I'm gonna show you a map on the screen

in the top fifty countries where Christian

persecution is happening today. Hundred and

eighty million Christians heavily

persecuted for their faith today.

Yeah.

And out of the fifty

top countries where Christians are persecuted,

forty-four of them

are by Islam, or they're persecuted for by Islam.

That is ninety percent of all Christian

persecution happening today, happening

from Islam
