Christians need to be more concerned with their Christian brothers who are being persecuted around the world, especially Syria, Iraq, and Nigeria.

Suffering has always been a part of the Christian experience, as we are commanded to deny our earthly lives, and take up our crosses and follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in order that we may live with Him eternally after this physical life ends.

Unfortunately, there are millions who are right now being raped, killed, enslaved and made homeless due to Satanic persecution from Muslims.

We need to remember that these persecuted Christians are out brothers and sisters, and part of the same family of God, and they need our support.

I have vetted, and support Aid to the Church in Need and Samaritans Purse. They are doing great work, and though the situation seems almost hopeless, we know that with God all things are possible.

Why isn't the American church more vocal about the current genocide that is occurring? I am speaking of the Catholic as well as Protestant churches.

Because so many are being neglected here and no one is concerned with the least of us...

It's not limited to a religious sect, people suffer because of other people who are dictators.
Those whose hearts are full of greed, lust and power - do not consider those whom they hurt.

Much of it has to do with economics, politics; and Religion, having the "us" and "them" mentality.
We, as human beings, should be concerned for ALL OF THE PEOPLE, not just those who are religious.

PEOPLE, not just Christians, need to be more concerned with their brothers and sisters - wherever they are in the world.

(And I also count among my brothers and sisters those who sport fur, feathers, scales and fins.)

If it was not genocide or ethnic cleansing of people who are rejected , then America would not have aircraft in Iraq and Syria dropping bombs on these barbarians murderers who are killing Christians and other groups

Yes, just as the Pope said it happened in Armenia. Denying it happened does not change the fact that it did, and is, happening now.
