Burma 'orders Christians to be wiped out'
Bad news for Christians living in Burma:
Or does it?
Maybe you haven't noticed but there's an international mood swing (to put it mildly) that is antithetical to all things Jewish and Christian. This isn't news to Jews, but Christians who haven't been watching may be wondering just what the hell is going on.
What is it about Jews and Christians that stirs up so much international and domestic hate and anxiety?
Quite simply, it's that dreaded reminder of God.
The Jews remind the world of God and the Old Testament; the God who gave us those "loathsome" 10 Commandments. The Christians, by virtue of their existence, remind the world of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. That, in itself, is a capital offense to the secular progressives and intolerant radicals of other religions around the world. There are those who, like vampires recoiling at the sign of the cross, recoil at the very utterance of the name of Jesus Christ (unless spoken profanely).
It's those heinous grievances which cause so much hate.
The military regime in Burma is intent on wiping out Christianity in the country, according to claims in a secret document believed to have been leaked from a government ministry. Entitled "Programme to destroy the Christian religion in Burma", the incendiary memo contains point by point instructions on how to drive Christians out of the state.This is one of those stories that won't get much attention; not even among most Christians. Why? Because most people don't have a clue where Burma is, nor do they care. It's way far away and anything that happens there has no effect on our lives.
The text, which opens with the line "There shall be no home where the Christian religion is practised," calls for anyone caught evangelising to be imprisoned. It advises:"The Christian religion is very gentle – identify and utilise its weakness."
Its discovery follows widespread reports of religious persecution, with churches burnt to the ground, Christians forced to convert to the state religion, Buddhism, and their children barred from school.
