The Boko Haram Islamist sect, which aims to impose sharia law across Africa’s most populous country, claimed responsibility for three church bombings, the second Christmas in a row it has caused carnage at Christian houses of worship.Meanwhile, over at Macleans they are bravely taking on Christian fundamentalists who have apparently squashed a Muslim TV show in the US. I posted the following comment:
"carping", "pandering", "zealots", "fanaticism"? Comes across as cheap bigotry rather than reasoned argument.Which got me the following response: "Christians have been massacring Muslims on Christmas Day for a long time...also during Ramadan, Eid and the Haj."
Plus it seems a bit insensitive of Macleans to have this still posted on a day -- Christmas Day no less -- when Muslim extremists have freshly massacred 39 Christians.
Christmas marks the entry of God into fallen creation. It is book-ended by the cross, where the Son of God took evil's best shot and rose victorious over it. So, come on, militant Islam and Christian-haters, give us your best shot -- our victory in Christ is guaranteed. Death is swallowed up in victory. Evil's days are numbered. The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And he shall reign forever and ever.
Those who love Christ affirm the truth of the resurrection; those who hate him, the truth of the cross. God has come and done something and there's nothing you can do about it and even your unbelief and enmity testifies to God's truth.
So merry joy-to-the-world Christmas to all, including those who hate Christ, Christmas, and Christians.

Macleans is still in business? Who knew?
Still waiting for Emily to cite her sources.
hahahahah
Sat down for a cup of coffee with a Muslim friend of mine. He asked how my Christmas was because his was GREAT!!!!
BTW I didn't know that Macleans was still publishing. I thought they had folded their Toronto centric liberal tent and gone home. That they haven't is a pity.
On a brighter note I hope that the scourge of murderous Islam is driving Christians into becoming ever more Christian. You know like actually standing up for their faith.
