** 'Only Islam Is the True Religion': The Persecution of Christians, May 2025 ([link removed])

* "This is not a farmer-herder clash. It is a genocidal campaign. Our communities are being wiped out methodically. The international community must not remain silent." — Dr. Joshua Riti, a local administrator, persecution.org, May 25, 2025 - Nigeria
* "Typically, kidnapped girls... some as young as 10, are abducted, forced to convert to Islam and raped under cover of Islamic 'marriages' and are then pressured to record false statements in favor of the kidnappers, rights advocates say. Judges routinely ignore documentary evidence related to the children's ages, handing them back to kidnappers as their 'legal wives.'" — Morning Star News, May 28, 2025 – Pakistan
* Despite fierce opposition from Pakistan's top Islamic authority and other Islamist groups, on May 29, President Asif Ali Zardari, signed into law a landmark bill banning child marriage, setting the minimum age for marriage for both genders at 18 years, but only in the Islamabad Capital Territory, not the entire country.
* "Somalia's constitution establishes Islam as the state religion and prohibits the propagation of any other religion... It also requires that laws comply with sharia (Islamic law) principles, with no exceptions in application for non-Muslims. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to mainstream schools of Islamic jurisprudence." — Morning Star News, May 27, 2025
* That there are so many "accidental" fires of churches in Egypt suggests one of two things: either the extremists have...become more sophisticated... in their attacks on churches... or else Coptic Christians, for some inexplicable reason, have become the most careless, fire-prone people in the world: more Coptic churches than any other kind seem to keep "accidentally catching fire."
* A Christian woman managed to record the savage destruction and arson the Muslims carried out. (She was ordered by State Security to remove the video, which she did; some copies, however, evaded censorship.) — Egypt
* This is hardly the first time in Berlin that Muslims target and attack people for being Christian. — Germany
* "Posters on the fences of the Christian and Alawite city of Tartus in Syria: Either you immediately change your religion from Christian to Muslim and convert to Islam, or you pay protection and tribute fees with your lives. Unknown individuals are distributing posters throughout the city, and at the end it is written: All religions are infidels, and only Islam is the true religion." — X ([link removed]) , May 20, 2025 -- Syria
* "We live like refugees in our own country." — Monsignor Najeeb, Assyrian International News Agency, May 29, 2025, -- Iraq

The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of May 2025.

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Nigeria: In the opening days of May, Muslim Fulani militants killed six Christians in Plateau State. "They hacked dead three Christians... and injured four others," said a local, adding that their aim is "to drive away Christian victims of terror." A pastor warned of "a grand design... to wipe out more than 200 Christian communities." The same report notes that over 3,100 Nigerian Christians were murdered last year.

On May 7, Fulani herdsmen killed two Christians in central Nigeria, "after killing 10 others in the same area the previous month."

On May 12, the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram, killed two Christian educational workers near an army base.

* When I propelled Ali Aqa into the imamate slot by claiming Khomeini had chosen him, he was honest enough to publicly say he didn't merit the job.
* He even added : If you choose me as Supreme Guide, we must cry blood for Iranian nation!
* Yet, nobody listened. World leaders, including US presidents, wrote flattering letters to him. Leftist intellectuals praised him as hero of anti-Imperialism. Our operatic generals saluted him as commander-in-chief and told him he had conquered Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Yemen and won the hearts of European and American youths.
* Here is the bitterest part: Many Iranians chose to treat him as a passing bad odor and didn't join those brave young men and women who at the cost of their lives challenged him in the streets of over 900 Iranian cities

Do you have an oujia board?

No? Well, I have one and think everyone should also have it. It is a board through which you communicate with the ghosts of the past, even in the deepest recesses of Hades.

The board's name comes from a mixture of "oui" (yes in French) and "ja" (yes in German) but you could use any of the 6000 languages still in use in our shrinking Tower of Babel.

Tokok, you Morse a name on the board and the ghost you invite responds.

The other day I used the board, acquired from an old Kalmuk Ishan in Kyzilyar in Caucasia, to summon Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani Bahremani Kermani.

At first, there was some confusion because the late President of the Islamic Republic used many different names to disguise his identity and protect his secret bank accounts.

In the end, however, the board shook with his answer: "Yes! What do you want?"
