Christian Conservatives have no stronger voice in this world than Fox News and their reporters, here in America. Judge Jeanie had an excellent program last night on Fox :" Christians under Attack". She toughly reported the genocide of Christians in the Middle East and the coming genocide in America and to the entire world. The investigation she reports attributes this to the war by islamic terrorists of the Muslim religion. Many deny that we should say that terrorists are part of that religious sect, yet it speaks so loudly that only the entirely deaf or mindless can ignore. Sadly Christian Churches all over the world, except those Christians in the middle east are acting like the ostrich with their heads in the sand. We must realize it is happening and pray and know that our God, Who remains in control of this world, will have His way. We can't see the way The almighty will control, but still must recognize His ultimate control!
German citizens only acquiesced in letting Hitler take power as happens so often in dictatorships. It is close to happening in our country. The wiping out of entire groups looked successful for the Ottoman Empire for a few centuries until it failed, but here it is again in carrying out their plight to wipe out all unbelievers of the Muslim religion. ... SamKat - a Christian in America. Note this quote regarding the Russian resistance by Afghanistans patriots who refused to acquiesce.

"Rather than enumerate definitions of genocide, I will
describe the empirically based categories about which students of
genocide are close to consensus. These are
retributive genocide, which is based on the desire for revenge;
institutional genocide, which is frequently incidental to military conquest;
utilitarian genocide, which is motivated by the desire for material gain;
monopolistic genocide, which originates in the desire to monopolize power; and
ideological genocide, which is motivated by the desire to impose a particular notion of salvation or purification on an entire society.
[7]
Chalk and Jonassohn have combined these categories into a master
definition: “Genocide is a form of one-sided mass killing in which a
state or other authority intends to destroy a group, as that group and
membership in it are defined by the perpetrator.”
[8]
For
genocide to happen, there must be certain preconditions. Foremost among
them is a national culture that does not place a high value on human
life. A totalitarian society, with its assumed superior ideology, is
also a precondition for genocidal acts.
[9]
In addition, members of the dominant society must perceive their
potential victims as less than fully human: as “pagans,” “savages,”
“uncouth barbarians,” “unbelievers,” “effete degenerates,” “ritual
outlaws,” “racial inferiors,” “class antagonists,”
“counterrevolutionaries,” and so on.
[10]
In themselves, these conditions are not enough for the perpetrators to
commit genocide. To do that—that is, to commit genocide—the perpetrators
need a strong, centralized authority and bureaucratic organization as
well as pathological individuals and criminals. Also required is a
campaign of vilification and dehumanization of the victims by the
perpetrators, who are usually new states or new regimes attempting to
impose conformity to a new ideology and its model of society.
