There is an ongoing genocide in the Congo that no one talks about. Where are the marches across Western capital cities for the Congolese being massacred!?

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒. 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐒. Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715. In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 — 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open. In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again. In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia. This was relentless, coordinated, and existential. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 In 937, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over the site Christians believe is the tomb of Christ — was burned to the ground. More churches in Jerusalem were torched alongside it. In 1009, the Church of the Resurrection was destroyed. By 1012, Al-Hakim's oppressive decrees against Christians had begun in earnest. Christian pilgrims could no longer safely visit the sites of Christ's ministry. The holiest city in Christendom was ruled by a hostile power systematically destroying the faith itself. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 In 1071, Muslim Turkish forces shattered the Byzantine army at Manzikert and occupied most of Anatolia. Constantinople was now directly threatened. In 1094, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Rome begging Western Christendom for military aid. In 1095, Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade. 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭.

Inside the Horrific War Against Christians in Nigeria “Africa is going to be a battleground for this nonsense, for sure, for the rest of our lives. And it’s just nasty. You see what they do to the Christians. They’ll take 70 of them into a church and slaughter them in the church. They’ll r***, they’ll pillage, they’ll kidnap schoolgirls. And it’s just on and on and on. Thousands being murdered. Very little pushback.” "It said 388 million persecuted Christians worldwide. 4,849 murdered for their faith, and that’s in 2026. 72% of those murders were in Nigeria alone." @JTLonsdale

An Italian actor? No, just an 18-year-old Iranian kid who has been sentenced to hang.🚨 His name is Shervin Bagherian Jebelli. The Islamic Republic’s Supreme Court confirmed his death sentence for the second time. His mom is in critical condition! He is so young that during his forced televised confession, when interrogators told him his charge was “Moharebeh” (waging war against God), he innocently asked: “What does that mean?” When they bluntly told him it means execution, he broke down in tears and said: “Please, for God's sake, don't kill me.” This beautiful, innocent life is about to be taken by a terrorist regime. We cannot let him die in the dark.

This is Hadiseh Morvaridi, 24. She was abducted from a protest on January 8 by Islamic regime terrorists and sentenced to death for a social media post they claimed was "insulting Islam." Be her voice. Don’t let her die in the dark.

@NYCMayor 17 days after the Oct 7 Massacre, while Israel was still sifting through ashes to identify the 1200+ Jews who were raped, kidnapped & murdered, Zohran Mamdani led a pro-Hamas rally calling for the destruction of Israel.

🔴 The militants had disguised themselves as civilians to mingle among unsuspecting Christian mourners At least 60 people killed in attacks across eastern Democratic Republic of Congo 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni moved to Gaza to support Palestinians. They kidnapped him, tortured him, and executed him. They called him a “Kaffir.” His kindness met jihad. This is the reality Western leftists keep denying. 💔💔💔

This video should be broadcast 24/7. The Muslim Brotherhood leader explains in his own words that, after 700 years of failed attempts to conquer Europe by force, they are now conquering it peacefully with the help of naive Western governments. The EU's weak and corrupt politicians have caused a disaster of biblical proportions. This won't end well.

This is what Arab Muslim slave traders are doing to black Christian children in Sudan. Where’s the UN? Where’s the Palestinian protest crowd? Where’s Greta, BLM, and the so-called human rights activists?!

This Two Ronnies sketch was never televised originally (it appeared many years later), but I’ve no idea why. It was written by Ronnie Barker, under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley, and for my money it gives Four Candles a run for it’s money. Seriously, if I’d written something this good I’d just retire immediately. What a talent! Good morning.

Churches across Britain are being torched at a disturbing rate. These fires are no accident… they are not burning themselves down. We are witnessing the active destruction of a nation.

She's right and the Pope should pay attention!

We won’t let the world ignore us. On the bloody 8th and 9th of January, brave Iranians flooded the streets across the country, calling for REGIME CHANGE and the return of HIM Reza Pahlavi. Tens of thousands were massacred in less than 10 hours, while many more were abducted by IRGC forces. The Islamic Republic has shut down the internet for more than two months continuing the #IranMassacre in digital darkness.

The LARGEST COVID "vaccine" autopsy study EVER conducted found 73.9% of deaths after vaccination were caused by the shot. THREE independent estimates yield 470,000–840,000 U.S. mRNA deaths — more than WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq COMBINED. CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS are warranted.

Don't read this review if you still want to see the movie Juror #2, directed by Clint Eastwood. Otherwise you're welcome to my list of spoilers... tinyurl.com/5aen58sd

The most vaccinated place in the world is in Ireland. It's a place called Waterford. They had the highest vaccination rate in the world. Then they suffered the highest Covid rate in Ireland. And then they had the highest excess deaths. The local health authority got an award from the World Health Organisation for the way they handled the pandemic. They had the highest death rate, having had the highest vaccination rate. 85% excess deaths at one stage they were on. – Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen
