Religious leaders, including far too many Christian leaders, ignore Christian persecution, yet many among these same people express shock and outrage over Palestinians dying in the Gaza war. They also dismiss the fact that Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields, and wrongly blame Israel.
How can the world pretend to care about human rights, while ignoring the barbaric atrocities being committed against Christians daily? Rabbi Warren Goldstein, South Africa’s chief rabbi, hasn’t forgotten:
The recent beheadings of 70 Christians in a church in the DRC is not an isolated incident. There is a continent wide war being waged by Jihadists against Christians in Africa. Each year, thousands of Christians are murdered, raped, kidnapped and beheaded for their faith, burned… pic.twitter.com/OW0ONqI4qG

In Nigeria, a genocide has been underway for years. Meanwhile, South Africa led the charge in the International Court of Justice’s “genocide” case against Israel, while it ignores a real genocide against Christians.
The brave, outspoken Rabbi Goldstein also addressed global opponents of Israel last year. See HERE.
South Africa is shamelessly antisemitic, blind to Christian persecution, and pro-Islam at any cost, as Islam rises in the country.
“South Africa’s Chief Rabbi Warns: Islamists Beheading Christians in DRC,” by Joel B Pollak, Breitbart, March 2, 2025:
South Africa’s Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein warned Sunday that Islamist militias are beheading Christians in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) — and slammed the world’s religious leaders for their silence on the issue.
Goldstein was referring to the Kasanga massacre, a mass murder of Christians that occurred on February 12.
As Christian Daily reported:
Seventy Christians were discovered beheaded inside a Protestant church in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s North Kivu Province, according to reports, which say the victims had been kidnapped by suspected Allied Democratic Forces terrorists.
The terrorists arrived in Mayba, a village in the territory of Lubero, at around 4 a.m. last Thursday and ordered residents to quietly get out, said Open Doors, adding that at least 20 Christian men and women had to leave their homes, leading to their capture.
Later, concerned residents gathered to plan a rescue, but the armed group is said to have surrounded the village and managed to seize 50 more believers. The abducted residents were then taken to a Protestant church in Kasanga, where they were found beheaded, said the ministry.
Goldstein commented that global religious leaders, including the South African Council of Churches — which has been very vocal on the Israel-Palestinian conflict — had largely been silent on the issue.

Nice to see at least one religious leader speak up for the victims of jihad. Hope that doesn’t cause retributions against him from the thuggish regime in Pretoria

Good for him. This man is a rarity. Not afraid to speak Truth.
He knows about the slaughter; so obviously others know also. The others have just chosen to remain silent.
Likely because the perps are all mozlums and the victims are Christian.
And then, there is dolan….on the other, far away end of the spectrum….equating what mozlums do on their unholy days to what Christians do to be closer to God.
As Jesus said, IF the light in you is darkness, how great that darkness is.”

There’s no such things as “radical islamist ideology”. There is only islam. Islam IS the problem.

Yes the Pope with his arm guards living his his walled nation state is very quiet about the killing of Christians in Africa by Moslems. This Rabbi who lives in the nation state of South Africa that has lately put a bullseye by their racist propaganda by government officials against white farmers ,Asia shop keepers ,Jews and anyone who is not black is a brave man speaking up .
Billy says
Islam is the mortal enemy of Jews Christians, and ALL Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran. Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], do not take the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” See also Quran 2:63-65; 4:144; 5:59-60, 82; 7:166.
Islam champions Muslim acts of slaughter against Non-Muslims for not becoming Muslims as Allah in Quran 8:12 says, “When your lord revealed to the angels: ‘I am with you so make firm those who believed[Muslims]. I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who became infidels[Non-Muslims]. So strike above their necks(decapitation), and strike off(chop off) every finger from them.’”
Lady of the Lake says
When did sectarian violence begin to be referred to as ‘terrorism’? When did the media begin their white washing of the hard truth… the dumbing down and separation of Islam from violence? Calling it terrorism glosses over the key fact that it is sectarian fanaticism. Calling it terrorism strangles public debate of the truth.

Well done Rabbi Goldstein
OLD GUY says
Islam the cult religion of HATE, RAPE, VIOLENCE and MURDER, taught in their mosques to the vary young impressionable children.
If I’am wrong, I would like to know what other religion teaches this in their churches. I’m waiting.
