Christian persecution isn't just something in the history books involving lions in the Coliseum. It still happens every day.

Sheik has the story:

Pakistan’s Christian Slaves

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (Worthy News)– Thousands of Pakistani Christians live like slaves in Punjab’s Muslim-owned brick kiln industry.

Working as bonded labor, employees rise at 4 a.m. to make more than 1,000 bricks from mud; although the government has set the price for this task at 500 rupees, employees are only paid 200 rupees, or $2.25 U.S., according to Pakistan Christian Post sources.

Further, these indentured servants live in company towns called Bhattas in small, single room residences whose rent and utility costs are continuously billed to their company-owned accounts; these unpaid bills can continue for generations as a family’s debt is passed from the parents to their children.

    UK underage sex ring sparks racial tensions

    ROCHDALE, England – She was lonely in the way only an adolescent girl can be: No friends, no boyfriend, not much of a relationship with her parents. So she felt special when a man decades older paid attention to her, bought her trinkets, gave her free booze.

    Then he took her to a dingy room above a kebab shop and said she had to give something back in return. His demands grew: Not just sex with him, but with his friends. It went on for years, until police charged nine men with running a sex ring with underage girls.

    The story of Girl A, as she became known in court, is tragic by any measure, but it has also become explosive. Because there is no getting around it: The girls are white, and the men who used them as sex toys are Asian Muslims, mostly Pakistanis raised in Britain. And it’s not just Rochdale — roughly a dozen other cases of Asian Muslim men accused of grooming young white girls for sex are slowly moving to trial across northern England, involving up to several hundred girls in all.

    In today’s Britain, which prides itself on being a tolerant and integrated society, the case has stripped away the skin to expose the racial sores festering beneath. It is also feeding an already raw anger against the country’s Asian Muslim minority, in a movement led by far right groups at a time when the economy is stalled.

    “You can’t get away from the race element,” says prosecutor Nazir Afzal, a British Muslim with family roots in Pakistan who ended several years of official indifference to the girls’ plight and finally brought the perpetrators to trial. “It’s the elephant in the room.”

    They need to hang him from a gibbet and leave the corpse for the crows, like they used to in Merrie Olde England.

    Are crows haram? I hope so!

    There must be some mistake, we know that Islam
    is a Religion of Peace & that Allah is most merciful
    & benificent.
    Our President tells us that Muslims were instrumental
    in the founding of America.
    Perhaps these are members of that teeny minotity
    that misunderstand the Koram. Maybe they’re dyslexic.

    Did not listen to the vid. The quote was enough.

    mosks are built all of the time everywhere, even though they many are documented to be supportive of and complicit in jihad. Sorry if we all just don’t rollover to creation of victory mosks or ones so grandiose for the perported community that any reasonable person would question it.

    The hejab? Wear that dreay symbol of your inferiority within islam at home all you like. When it interferes with your identification, it a problem for society at large for several reasons. One big reason is the violence that is fundamental to your evil faith.

    Work is for work. Don’t like your conditions of employment? Get another job. This is the United States. No one is forcing you to stay at any particular job, or in this country for that matter. We are not islamic enough for you? Go the hell back to whatever sty you originated from.

    To hell with your hijra! Some of us will push back if you try to turn our country into the islamic paradise you left.

    Muslims should have the same freedom in America that Christians have in Mecca. Exactly the same.

    Hate to say it but for the news, this is a dog bites man story. Muslims can abuse, rape and kill Christians and they will not care unless they have no choice but to report it. Now… someone even looks wrong at a muzzie and CNN will be there with 24/7 coverage.

    @ EBL:
    I wonder if it’s been ignored for similar reasons blantant anti-white statements by blacks are ignored.

    Favored multi-culty preferred victim groups are incapable of engaging in the evils of white colonialist oppressors.

    You would have to search for it a bit but look for the crimes that have been done in Chicago over the last few months. Attacks on people, robberies, assaults, etc… Never reports one the victimes and the perps. Now, if its the other way around, major problem.

    Here ya go. Chicago crime map. There’s a log below that shows the type of crime. You can also fill in your own city and change the parameters of your search. Fun for the whole family. :shock:

    @ MikeA:
    I am aware.

    The same dynamic is at play here ignoring not just the plight of Christians at muslum hands at tope here, but pretty much any non-muslim.
    Hindus and Sikhs are treated poorly as well for example.

    Can’t call a spade a spade. The muzz are murderous and bigoted. Anywhere they are in numbers problems follow. Anecdotally it seems in proportion to their representation in the population of the host country. Heck, in arab-ick the same word is used for slave and black person.

    I have noticed that there hasn’t been to much humidity so far this summer. The rain the other night, that lasted all of ten minutes, really cooled it off.

    jaws…

    The first great white shark of the Cape Cod summer season has been photographed just 50 yards from the coast off Chatham.

    The 16-foot shark, estimated to weigh more than 2,000 pounds, was seen hunting seals near the shore by the Cape Cod Shark Hunters.

    ‘I spotted a couple yesterday,’ said pilot George Breen. ‘One was about a quarter mile offshore and the bigger of the two was about 50 yards off.’

    The past several days the humidity has been so high that it feels like I’m wearing a warm wet blanket when outside. The pool has been like a warm bath.
