Not only does recent jihadist rampage against Ethiopia’s indigenous Christians highlight the travails Christians encounter wherever Islam has a sizable population, but it offers several insights, including some which should concern faraway, secular nations with Muslim minorities. According to\u00a0Fox News<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n Thousands of Christians have been forced to flee their homes in Western Ethiopia after Muslim extremists set fire to roughly 50 churches and dozens of Christian homes. At least one Christian has been killed, many more have been injured and anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 have been displaced in the attacks that began March 2 after a Christian in the community of Asendabo was accused of desecrating the Koran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n For starters, this “medieval” attack is a reminder that countless churches have been destroyed or desecrated by jihadist terror since Islam rose to power in the Medieval era, evincing centuries of continuity. While the media may mention the more “spectacular” attacks on churches \u2014 in\u00a0Iraq<\/a>, in\u00a0Egypt<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 most attacks go either\u00a0unreported or underreported<\/a>. (Some Muslim nations, such as US “friend-and-ally” Saudi Arabia, nip it in the bud by outlawing churches in the first place.)<\/p>\n Moreover, the dubious excuse used to justify this latest barbarous outburst \u2014 “desecration of the Koran” \u2014 is a reminder of the double-standards Bibles suffer in the Islamic world, where they are routinely confiscated and burned. Indeed, even as Muslim Ethiopians were rampaging, Muslim nations hailed as being “moderate” \u2014\u00a0Malaysia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Bangladesh<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 also made headlines with their deplorable treatment of Christians and Bibles. Worse, the West helps standardize such a biased approach: the US government \u2014 Obama, Hillary, and any number of other grandstanding politicians \u2014 rose up in condemnation when a virtually anonymous, small-town pastor threatened to burn the Koran, while saying nary a word about the countless Bibles daily mutilated in the Muslim world (a\u00a02003 fatwa<\/a>\u00a0that ruled the Bible suitable for use by Muslims when\u00a0cleaning after defecation<\/a>\u00a0went largely unnoticed).<\/p>\n Such a gutless approach is not surprising considering the sort of people who advise the military, such as Lt. Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein, who recommends that, if ever an American soldier desecrates a Koran, US leadership must offer “unconditional apologies,” and emulate the words of Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Hammond: “I come before you [Muslims] seeking your forgiveness, in the most humble manner I look in your eyes today, and say please forgive me and my soldiers,” followed by abjectly kissing a new Koran (Militant Islamist Ideology<\/em><\/a>, p. 26).<\/p>\n Finally, for those Western observers who live beyond the moment and have an interest in the big picture, the long run \u2014 the world bequeathed to future generations \u2014 the issue of numbers revealed by this Ethiopian anecdote should give cause to pause. The\u00a0Fox News<\/em>\u00a0report continues:<\/p>\n The string of attacks comes on the heels of several reports of growing anti-Christian tension and violence around the country where Muslims make up roughly one-third of the total population but more than 90 percent of the population in certain areas, 2007 Census data shows. One of those areas is Besheno where, on November 9, all the Christians in the city woke up to find notes on their doors warning them to convert to Islam, leave the city or face death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As Jonathan Racho, an official at\u00a0International Christian Concern<\/a>, said, “It’s extremely disconcerting that in Ethiopia, where Christians are the majority, they are also the victims of persecution.” This oddity is explained by Prime Minister Meles Zenawi’s assertion that Ethiopian Islamists “have changed their tactics and they have been able to camouflage their activities through legal channels” \u2014 a strategy regularly implemented by Islamists wherever they are outnumbered, like in the US, prompting countermeasures such as\u00a0Islamist Watch<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Legal Project<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n That Muslims are an otherwise peaceable minority group in Ethiopia, but in enclaves where they represent the majority, they attack their outnumbered Christian countrymen \u2014 giving them a tweaked version of Islam’s three choices to infidels \u2014 suggests that Muslim aggression and passivity are very much rooted in numbers: the more Muslims, the more potential for “assertive” behavior.<\/p>\n This has lessons for the West, especially Europe, which in recent years has seen an unprecedented influx of Muslim immigrants, reaching some\u00a053 million<\/a>, a number expected to “nearly\u00a0double by 2015<\/a>, while the non-Muslim will shrink by 3.5%,” due to higher Muslim birth rates. In short, it is a matter of time before Muslims account for significant numbers in Europe \u2014 perhaps not the majority, but, as the Ethiopian example establishes, a majority is not necessary for the winds of jihad to blow.<\/p>\n Indeed, the story of Islam’s entry into Ethiopia, one of the oldest Christian civilizations, is illustrative. Around 615, when the pagan Quraysh were persecuting Muhammad’s outnumbered Muslim followers in Arabia, some fled to Ethiopia seeking sanctuary. The Christian king, or “Negus” of Ethiopia, welcomed and protected these Muslim fugitives, ignoring Quraysh demands to return them \u2014 and thus winning Muhammad’s gratefulness. Today, 14 centuries later, when Islam has carved itself a solid niche in Ethiopia, accounting for 1\/3 of the population, Muslim gratefulness has turned to something else \u2014 not least a warning to Western states.<\/p>\n \u00a92011 Raymond Ibrahim<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Raymond Ibrahim FrontPageMagazine.com Not only does recent jihadist rampage against Ethiopia’s indigenous Christians highlight the travails Christians encounter wherever Islam has a sizable population, but it offers several insights, including some which should concern faraway, secular nations with Muslim minorities.
