the definition of psycho...

“From Nigeria to Indonesia, Christians are under siege in virtually every single country in the Muslim world, the victims of countless acts of discrimination, depredation, brutality, and murder that are so widespread and systematic that it can rightfully be called the new Holocaust. This time, however, the perpetrators of this Holocaust aren't wearing swastikas, but kufi skull caps and hijabs.”

This quote was taken from Islam’s Global War against Christianity over at AmericanThinker.com. (Thanks to Matt for emailing me the link.) It was an eye-opening read for me. You may be familiar with The Voice of the Martyrs, a publication that tracks the persecution of Christians worldwide. I’m sure many of their stories are related to this “new Holocaust,” but I’d never made the connection.

Sharia law is a cruel and callous master, but those who actually enforce its austere constraints are crueler still. The barbaric psychos controlling the areas that are operating under this “law” have no qualms about chopping off thieving hands, stoning “immodest” women, or beheading “infidels” living within their jurisdiction. As an American, I simply cannot fathom the hatred necessary for the propagation of such an inauspicious lifestyle.

Despite the problems I see in our own land, my gratitude to God for our country is continually renewed as I read stories such as these. No matter how bad we think it is in America, I can guarantee that someone, somewhere is fearing for their life simply for believing in Christ. And I sometimes struggle to read my Bible everyday…

It is things like this that should make us all humble, especially as Christians. I am convicted whenever I read or hear of something like this.
