soon to a European town or city near you.
This is full cost of Sharia Law and its demands on Christians and Jews.
This is what is coming for your children and grandchildren,
these shall be made to pay for the sins of their fathers, who neglected so
great a salvation as to have allowed this to occur within the nation they lived
in. Had these been strong in the Lord, obedient to Christ’s Commandments, and
flooded the nation with such beleivers as themselves this would have not
befallen their nation, their people, their kinsmen, and their household.
Now would be a good time to awake
from thy slumber, and to work as the night fast approaches.
One consideration the bible says that Christians shall flee from city to city
in the face of persecution but that Christ will come before all towns cities and hamlets turn and persecute beleivers. Point is while the continant will fall and
nation after nation will fall to Islam, Christ declares that cities towns and
hamlets shall not fall immediately but rather that this shall be a
process.
Would it not be wise and good and
right before the Lord to see that these things not befall your town, or your
neighborhood where you live? Would it not be a good time to repair the breach
in the wall of your town city or neighborhood, to shore up and cement people
coming to Christ and coming into a deep abiding personal relationship that
shall stand in such adversity?

then because we were just about to begin the funeral service for Irfan, an 11
year-old boy who was shot in the head. He passed away yesterday. ‘
That was the opening line of the e-mail from Fr Mario Rodriguez, National

Sadly, Irfan Masih was only one of the recent casualties as a result of Taliban
activities. On 22 April several insurgents entered
After 2 hours, the insurgents then
returned with over 40 armed soldiers and began firing on the Christians
gathered there. ‘One boy died on the spot. A man was shot in the arm. Irfan was
shot in the head and struggled to survive’, continued Fr Mario. The Taliban
then proceeded to sack the houses of 15 Christian families in the area, later
setting them on fire.
‘The Taliban deliberately came into the Christian area of the town’, declared
Fr Mario. ‘Their aim is to force the Christians to leave the area or pay a
tribute imposed by the sharia on non-Muslim minorities. Ten days later the
police have still not registered a report. Some of the local people say that
the police are involved as well, because they were present and did nothing to
stop the culprits.’
Recent news reports in this country have indicated that there are many
Pakistanis who are reacting against the Taliban, having seen the video on
YouTube, showing them flogging a teenage girl, and another in which a couple
are accused of adultery and killed with multiple shots.
‘Most people are against the Taliban. They do not want them to take control,
but what can they do? The Taliban have such a low opinion of women and of
education for women. In the
‘The Taliban also makes life difficult for other people. They do not like
technology and say that it is all evil and so they go around destroying radios,
television sets, CD and DVD players. They close down
cinemas and newspapers and ban dances and music. By destroying technology, the
Taliban ruins a growing resource that impacts especially on its greatest users
- the young'.
This is a sensitive issue for Fr Mario. ‘The only ones to defend us are the

How is the Church handling the upsurge in anti-Christian violence? ‘We are
running a training course for Catholic families who live in the tribal areas in
the north. We are trying to help them to lead by example, so that people can
see them living a peaceful, good Christian life. Yes, it takes courage and some
of them know that they will be attacked and perhaps killed, but they say, “This
is what our faith means to us. If we are killed, then so be it.” We have so
