Islam Clashes with Judeo-Christians.

Attacks against professing Christians are rising as instability in the Middle East increases. “A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a 130-year-old Anglican church in Pakistan after Sunday Mass, killing at least 78 people in the deadliest attack on Christians….” (Reuters, September 22, 2013).

Many Christians are fleeing from Muslim nations. “In 1948 there were about 135,000 Jews in Iraq. Today less than 10 Jews remain… Since 2003, more than half of Iraq’s Christian population of 800,000 has fled… In 1948, there were some 100,000 Jews in Egypt. Today there are less than 50. Since late 2010, Egypt’s Coptic Christian community—8,000,000 strong—has been under assault—tens of thousands have fled” (Fox News, September 24, 2013). Muslim attackers blame Coptic Christians for the ousting of Mohamed Morsi, while Egyptian security forces use Christians as scapegoats (YNET News, October 13, 2013). Recently, “A Malaysian court ruled… that a Christian newspaper may not use the word “Allah” to refer to God, a landmark decision… that has fanned religious tension” (Reuters, October 14, 2013).

Bible prophecy has long warned of a future war between an Islamic-led king of the South and a Catholic European king of the North (Daniel 11:40). The increasing attacks by Islamists against Judeo-Christians could soon reach a breaking point. For more information read “Islam: At War with Christianity?”
