And soon there will be NO christians or any other religion in moslum countries. It still depends on your definition of "Christian." The number of real Christians in any country who are willing to die for their faith has always been a relatively low number of the population. Nominal Christians, on the other hand, will not go that far and will resist the best they can. Even they simply have too few resources to mount an effective resistance in Muslim-controlled countries. They look to the UN or America for assistance. Are they getting any help from these champions of human rights? Hardly. As to having NO Christians left from being persecuted and killed, history proves that conclusion quite wrong. There is an ancient saying, "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." christians run and die. These few, true Christians could take up arms to defend themselves; but when finally faced with the Great Decision: Kill or Die, they choose to follow the example of their Lord, who was crucified for their sins. He told them while He was here that His people would die for his name's sake. On that note, He says not to resist evil (by force of arms). So, these Christians who run and die are honoring their God more than they fear man. It has been repeated so often since the days of Jesus and Stephen that when the persecutors of Christians have done their worst; Christians have faced their death with courage: they prayed for their killers and even forgave them. This has had the effect so very often of inspiring onlookers and sometimes even the killers themselves to turn to the Faith. This is how martyr's blood has seeded the Church. It defies worldly analysis. So, not only have persecutors failed to stamp out true Christian faith throughout the millennia, but also, faith in Jesus Christ grew underneath the pogroms. Ancient Rome could not destroy it; modern Communism did not do it; the Muslims won't do it either.
