Another Christmas is upon us, and it’s the same old story: in Muslim lands, Christians are oppressed and in constant danger of violent jihad attacks. And in the lands once known as Christendom, jihadis threaten new jihad massacres.
And so it was no surprise when International Christian Concern reported Wednesday that “security forces in Pakistan reportedly stopped a major terror attack planned to take place on Christmas Day in Peshawar. In a raid on a house in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Khyber district, four terrorists, including the leader of a banned militant outfit, were arrested.” Among those arrested was Zakir Afridi, the commander of the jihad terror group Lashkar-e-Islam.
“Along with the terrorists,” International Christian Concern reported, “security forces seized three suicide jackets and six improvised explosive devices.”

If this plot wasn’t inspired by a call from the Islamic State to murder Christians on Christmas Day, it certainly had the same goal in mind. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported that “on December 12, 2020, online supporters of the Islamic State (ISIS) distributed an audio clip of a new nasheed (Islamic religious chant) titled ‘Coldly Kill Them With Hate And Rage.’” The jolly folks who “released the song on Telegram included a poster featuring a Christmas tree with a bomb attached to it, and the caption: ‘Just Terror 2020. Here are their holidays at your doorsteps, and we are here too! And we are about to enter them with you!’ The post also includes the hashtag #MerryChristmas, suggesting it be used on social media to disseminate the song.”
The charming ditty includes these lyrics: “They fought Islam day and night/Killed many Muslims all in one time/Vengeance fill the hearts and minds/Coldly kill them with hate and rage/Stab them, shoot them or a blast/Make their media cry and broadcast/The khilafah [caliphate].” Well, it ain’t exactly “The First Noel,” but at least they tried.
Meanwhile, OpIndia reported Monday that an old video from the renowned Islamic apologist Zakir Naik has gone viral this year. In it, Naik, who has been accused of ties to jihad terror activity, answers a young man’s question about whether or not it is permissible for Muslims to wish Christians a merry Christmas: “To reach your goals, you cannot use wrong means, brother. What is Haram [forbidden] to them is also Haram to you. When you are wishing Merry Christmas to them, you are agreeing that he is the son of God and that is Shirk [the grave sin of associating partners with Allah in worship]. Because they believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Irrespective of whether they are practising Christians or not, they celebrate the day because of His birthday…Is saying Merry Christmas wrong? I am telling you it is wrong. It is 100% wrong according to me….If you don’t know what Christmas stands for and happen to wish someone, Allah may forgive you. If you drink alcohol, mistaking it for Pepsi, Allah may forgive you. But if you are doing it to build a relationship after knowing what Christmas stands for, you are building your place in Jahannam (Hell). Therefore, for reaching good means, you never have to follow bad means. You have to follow the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah (literature based on life and deeds of Prophet Muhammad).”
In a similar vein, the German-language site Philosophia Perennis site reported Saturday that another old video has gone viral there, featuring a Muslim preacher, Abu Maher, declaring: “Christmas is an insult to Allah!” The video was published by the Deutschsprachige Muslimische Gemeinschaft e.V. (“German-speaking Muslim Community, DMG) which describes itself as “an association in Braunschweig that has existed for many years” and states that “we represent Islam according to the understanding of the first three generations after the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and want to convey Islam – based on the Qurân and Sunna (path of the Prophet) and its pure message – to our fellow human beings and society. It is important to us to enable all interested parties to get to know the values and norms that Islam imposes on people.” The DMG adds: “As a Muslim community, we represent a part of the local society. We respect the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, but at the same time insist on our basic rights, such as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, and want like every citizen and let every citizen live and live in peace and mutual tolerance.”
In light, however, of its denunciation of Christmas, its call for peace and tolerance appears to be in reality a call for peace and tolerance on the basis of the submission of non-Muslims to Muslims.
None of this is new, or surprising. It’s just another Christmas in the age of jihad.

“Kill them with hate and rage”, said the morons who call themselves a religion of peace,rather than the Fascist Religious Cult they truly are.
They sound like something out of The Life of Brian… Silly,silly,silly naughty naughty wee boys…

I understand your “problem” as I feel the same way but I see it all as the words written in The Art Of War, “Those who do not understand their enemy have already lost the battle”.
Barenakedislam/Bonni, Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and many others, are doing us ALL a great service by informing us what the MSM will not report as they are stronger than me in so many ways and I thank them ALL from the bottom of my heart for the work they do today against all odds.
I wish them all a better 2021 than the year currently passing by.

Sadly “Groundhog Day” is what WE have been subjected to for generations by the socialist Democ-rats here.
The Gellers, Spencer’s and all American loving peoples(Trump) are countering those lies and scenarios daily to awaken the “sleeping giant” of the “silent moral majority” before its no longer possible.
This while the mainline Republi-can’t Party RINO’s are rearranging deck chairs as the band played on in this national ship equivalent to the sinking Titanic…yes it is insane and short of putting a foot up their slumbering @$$es WE are pointing out the imminent danger directly ahead while attempting to educate those whom have “ears to hear + eyes to see”…!

I am sure they are sick of it, as are WE all. But, you cannot give up against a relentless enemy. You have to be just as relentless.

As Einstein pointed out, repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different result is a sign of insanity.
Its like complaining about repeatedly watching a TV show you don’t like; change the channel.

If they had succeeded the media would’ve just ignored it or blamed the Christians for daring to have a day where they’re not as miserable as on the rest of the 364 days of the year.

I call it as I see it based my 1st hand knowledge, limited experiences & my research as a legal scholar.
Every MOSLEM I’ve met is argumentative, ignorant, untrustworthy & scams the system i.e. OBAMA, Ilhan Omar.
To lower the population, so the planet can heal due to pollution we must reign in the oil energy cos. ASAP.
For peace & harmony to exist ALL MOSLEMS must be exterminated by either feeding them to G-d’s predators –
who know exactly what to do – lions, tigers, bears, wolves, piranhas. sharks, komodo dragons et al.
NO need to waste flesh, bone & blood or a few killer drones can do the job. 1 done 1 kill. NO FUSS. NO MUSS.
NO MOSLEM left behind. After this is done – then the Galactic Federation may accept humanity as humanity is
too violent at this time.
