Four Christians Executed in Burkina Faso For Wearing Crosses

27 Burkina Faso Christians executed since February.

Four Christian men in the West African nation of Burkina Faso were singled out for their faith and promptly executed after armed terrorists invaded their village in late June, according to a report from Open Doors, which serves persecuted Christians worldwide.
The deaths of David Zoungrana, his younger brother Philippe, Theophile Ouedraogo and Ernest Kassoaga were meant to emphasize a message the militants delivered to the villagers: convert to Islam or risk execution. The attack was in the northern village of Bani, where a heavy Islamic influence exists.
“At this stage, we don’t know their ages or anything about the families David, Philippe, Theophile and Ernest left behind,” Open Doors reported on its website. “Just that they followed Jesus—and their faith was part of them. They weren’t afraid to make a public statement of their belief in an area known internationally for its display of seven adobe mosques–six of which are built at the top of Bani’s main hill.”
Since February, at least 27 Christians in Burkina Faso have been murdered for their faith, according to the group.
Following the murders, the terrorists located a shop run by David Zoungrana and burned it to the ground. The murders resemble other massacres that have taken place around the country this year, 23 of which have occurred since Easter.
News of the killings came as the U.S. State Department was planning its second Ministerial on Advancing Religious Freedom, an event occurring this week that highlighted persecuted religious minorities from countries such as Burma, Sudan, China, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, Iraq, Pakistan and Yemen.
On social media, Franklin Graham praised the White House and State Department for emphasizing the importance of religious freedom. President Trump hosted a group of persecution survivors at the White House.
“The President told them, ‘Each of you has suffered tremendously for your faith … In America, we’ve always understood that our rights come from God, not from government,’” Franklin recounted in a Facebook post. “I’m extremely grateful for this administration’s stand for religious freedom, not only in America, but around the world. Let the President, Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Ambassador-at-Large Sam Brownback and others working to defend our religious freedom know what that means to you. …”

This is what martyrdom really is, not blowing yourself up to kill others.

No you don't understand! The Quran only says non-muslims have to pay extra taxes. You're just finding isolated incidents! Muslims definitely bear no responsibility for this!

Statistically this is true. As long as the Muslim numbers are under 5%.

Christians really need to up their game. We are being slaughtered all over the world and nothing is being done to counter it.
Time to go on the offensive in these shithole countries for a change.

I’d like to offer a prayer, if I may ....
Father, I pray for the Christians being persecuted in Burkino Faso. Protect them, so that their witness will inspire those who seek to harm them. Father I also pray for those who are persecuting Christians. Please work a miracle and change the hearts of the oppressors, so that they will cease causing harm to others.
Finally, Father, I pray that through the generosity of others, those who have fled their homes will receive housing, water, food, clothes, medication, and anything else they need.
In the merciful name of Your son, Amen.

Where are our prog friends? They always miss these threads.
They must disavow.

If they can't even agree on having a non-sectarian prayer to open their sessions at their national convention, why would they do that?

Well damn. Time to totally minimize the death of them Christians, and try to make it sound like muslims are the real victims by just saying - Not All muslims

Progs ignore this but jump on social media to declare Trump is beginning a genocide against "people of color".

The United States should set up a sting.
Have someone get the word out that Christians are living wherever, and have a team of killers waiting on the Mooselamb asshats when they show up ... then send a message.
Leave a RDF unit or two in the AO to handle backlash.
