Michael Coren, host of the current affairs program The Arena,
and author of the recently published Hatred: Islam's War on Christianity
If there is anything we can learn this Christmas, it is the plight of Middle Eastern Christians about whom Michael Coren has written in his newly published book Hatred, Islam's War in Christianity.
I have copied below the last paragraph of the last page of the book, and rather than a march to war, Coren is asking for prayers, that God may guide us all to the plight of these "broken and betrayed."
I think the situation is as bad as Coren told us last night at his presentation, which I wrote about here, where Coren said that this is worse than anything he has ever seen, and it has been kept hidden for so long that these people have been indeed forgotten.
It is time now not to betray them. But, not simply for them. We all stand to be in their shoes.
A victim and a perpetrator cannot meet in some imaginary middle, a person who is being beaten cannot compromise with the person doing the beating. Christian forgiveness is vital in all this but the new equation has to begin with the cessation of Muslims throughout the world of their hateful campaign against innocent Christians. It is the most hideous, vehement and widespread persecution of an identifiable minority in modern times, and it is taking place right before our eyes. Yet so many people prefer blindness to a calrity of vision that might shock and disturb and shake us from our comfort zone. Pray God for good sight, pray God that the situation will change. The cries of millions of the broken and betrayed scream out throughout the world and for all time.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
