Default The Martyrs No One Cares About

By Michelle Malkin
August 1, 2007

The blood of innocent Christian missionaries spills on Afghan sands. The world watches and yawns. The United Nations offers nothing more than a formal expression of "concern." Where is the global uproar over the human rights abuses unfolding before our eyes?

For two weeks, a group of South Korean Christians has been held hostage by Taliban thugs in Afghanistan. This is the largest group of foreign hostages taken in Afghanistan since Operation Enduring Freedom began in 2001. What was their offense? Were they smuggling arms into the country? No. Inciting violence? No. They were peaceful believers in Christ on short-term medical and humanitarian missions. Seventeen of the 23 hostages are females. Most of them are nurses who provide social services and relief.

Great article.

Good for Michelle Malkin.

I listen to Christian radio, this story is covered and updated several times a day, I get letters and updates almost every week from other churches, and inserts to hand out to our congregation.

These people are being dragged out into the street and shot in the head!

There is talk of crucifying some of them.

Their only "crime" is sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as Christians are commanded, not asked, COMMANDED to do.

Yep, I've hardly seen mention of it in the MSM.

Dog knocks a careless gun owners pistol off the table and it shoots him...Front Page.

Christian persecution,... ah, who cares. [/SARC]

Thanks again to Miss. Malkin, at least you have the guts to speak out for what's right.

The world may watch and yawn and express very little concern...just as long as it doesn't happen to them. But there is one who watches and is concerned and will take His revenge on all evil doers. No one escapes His vigilence and His justice. He'll take care of business you can count on it. No one ever gets away with anything in this life without paying the consequences one way or another. You can take that to the bank.

Christians are being persecuted and killed all over the world and all we hear is silence. The media should be all over this but it's not pc.

Sad. I just can't add anymore that hasn't been said.

Exclamation Re: The Martyrs No One Cares About

"The Martyrs NO ONE Cares About?"

I beg to differ.

There are those who care... well, they CLAIM to care. Michelle Malkin just hasn't met any of them yet... not that she'd want to.

Because nobody would want to associate with them, much less the method by which they intend to show how much they "care."

Their method is REVENGE.

Care to elaborate about who you're talking about, MV?

Arrow Re: The Martyrs No One Cares About

I'll try to, Mr. Scott.

Those of whom I speak are those who are looking for an excuse... ANY EXCUSE... to repay bloodshed with bloodshed.

I'm talking about those who say, "One hundred Muslims will die for this Christian's death," and "Two hundred Muslims for that murdered missionary."

Such people are HYPOCRITES. They don't really care about martyred Christians; they just want an opportunity to kill Muslims. They're no different than Osama bin Laden's flunkies... and maybe a bit worse.

I know it's hard to believe that such people are out there... but they are. And their numbers are growing by the day.
