Eh, I think it's just an inevitable reaction to Western Christian nations slaughtering Muslims and calling them evil.
Pope Francis is the best pope in ages. He's pushing the ideas of love, tolerance, and charity. Last I checked that's kind of Jesus' whole deal.
We are not 'Christian nations'.
Do you believe Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected so that we can be close to god? A true Christian believes in the validity of Christ. A true christian believes that Jesus was and is the TRUE SON OF GOD.
Pope Francis is saying this is a lie so by definition is behaving in accordance to how the Anti Christ is supposed to behave. Further on your point, the majority of our leaders and people are NOT true Christians therefore you cannot blame this on Christian nations slaughtering Muslims.
It was the catholic church that inflicted the majority of the bloodshed. The protestants were true and just. They knew the real message of the bible that Christ is the one true way to god. That is why they revolted against the catholic church because they were trying to suppress this truth by translating the bible into Latin so peasants couldn't read it.
The pope is trying to unify all world religions into one. This is sacrilege as there is only one true religion and the rest are Babylonian knock offs.
Jesus Christ is the only one true way to God.
We are living in times akin to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. We have never been further apart from God.
Obama parades himself as a hardcore liberal. The terms 'socialist' and 'libertarian' has been perverted to not represent true freedom anymore. The devil masquerades through churches. True Christians aren't pedophiles. The catholic church houses criminals.
Don't bunch Christians together with fake Christians who think homosexuality isn't a sin. These are the same types of 'Christians' who would bow down to Islam as to not be persecuted. This isn't true Christianity. Homosexuality is a sin and I don't hate sinners in the slightest but I don't openly endorse or encourage homosexuality like the media, hollywood and the elite do.
Churches are being forced to marry gay couples or be jailed. That is beyond comprehension. Can you imagine if a Christian tried to force a private gay club to let them be a member? It would be a completely different story.
Islam and homosexuality have both been mollycoddled and allowed to proliferate.. The devil hides behind all false religions. This is why beheading is rampant at the hands of Islamist extremists. Furthermore, this is why Christians are targeted specifically, because they are the direct enemies of Satan.
All I heard was "blah blah blah TRUE CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT HATRED AND INTOLERANCE blah blah blah KILL ALL THE MUSLIMS, GAYS, AND ATHEISTS blah blah blah JUDGEMENT DAY APPROACHES blah blah blah".
Did I miss anything?
Please tell me how exactly was I preaching a message about intolerance. Is beheading someone cos of their faith intolerance? Or is that acceptable as long as they are Christian?
Oh because Christians hate gays so much. Like I said. True Christians would NEVER persecute someone because of their sin. Whether you like it or not, homosexuality is a sin. God created man for woman not woman for woman or man for man. Satan tries to destroy everything god does or mimic it in a perverted way.

What makes Christianity the One "True" religion?
The idol worship of a prophet?
The trinity despite the Ten Commandments clealy stating their is 1 God?
The sacrificial bloodlust to eat and drink your God?
Being safe by scapegoating your God?
The infallible word of God written by men commanded and inspired by the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the embodiment of the Holy spirit. That was the start of the trinity of the father, the son and the holy spirit. That was the time we got another chance to be close to God.
Satan is trying to ruin that chance. This is why Christianity has been stamped out almost entirely and why evolution although entirely fraudulent as a taught science, is allowed to proliferate. Further if you look with an open mind you can see that Darwinists by nature tend to attack Christians.
Evolution theory is a work of Satan. It has no real grounding in valid science and yet it is allowed to proliferate despite multiple cases of fraud of cover up. Evolution theory goes entirely against the truth. We were created by God and it is an insult to God to claim otherwise. You are a perfect creation. Look at how your amazing super computer brain is reading this mass of symbols and pondering it in your head behind your high tech computer in your comfortable house in your street.
Evolution theory and The big bang theory, far from answering the major wonders of life, just lead to more and more questions. Creationism is the only thing that makes sense. It is the only think that is logical.
I bet you just spluttered your coffee out at that preposterous and utterly ridiculous statement but believe me, there are Scientists who are much smarter than you and I who are born again Christians.

Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man’s sake. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. 17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
...They will put you out of the synagogues. yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.
…all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution

You aren't being persecuted; you are finally being treated like the rest of us.
Those people who you list as killing Christians are the same people who have always killed people of all faiths they didn't agree with, gay folk, women, children, etc.
It's like you are a cop getting thrown in a cell full of people you arrested before and exclaiming to them "I can't believe the way those guards treated me!" when they have been getting treated that way for years. By you.

How have Christians treated everyone else?
The story about the girl goes back to 2013. It's claimed she is a Muslim Syrian girl named Fatima Meghlaj and that she was decapitated when Syrian forces shelled her home.

…all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution
If the bible is infallible as you say on the first page, and you are indeed a christian. It would seem that everything you're screaming is happening, is what is expected to happen, according to the bible.
EKET, Nigeria — The nine-year-old boy lay on a bloodstained hospital sheet crawling with ants, staring blindly at the wall.
His family pastor had accused him of being a witch, and his father then tried to force acid down his throat as an exorcism. It spilled as he struggled, burning away his face and eyes. The emaciated boy barely had strength left to whisper the name of the church that had denounced him – Mount Zion Lighthouse.

Maybe they should stay out of the Middle East and stop trying to push their religion on those who aren't interested...
Yeah that's an appropriate response to someone causing you a grievance.
Beheading them.
Nice to know you condone that sort of behavior matey at least now we know where we stand..

That's what you aren't getting. Those people who are doing these things to Christians are doing those things to gays, women, pagans, and even others who have a slightly different faith than they do.
It's horrible. It's not right. But it's not an exclusively Christian problem. It never has been. A fundamental religious extremist person (who isn't Christian) is just as likely to kill me for my faith as his to kill you for yours.

I didn't say that, did I? Putting words in my mouth doesn't help your case.
You can't go into a country and preach something you KNOW will get you killed and then complain because you get killed... You can't knowingly step into a bear trap and then blame the trap for going off...
There are plenty of Christians who were BORN in the middle east and are being persecuted. Your point makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and you are making apologies for people who are BEHEADING PEOPLE..

It may be in the face of western powers bombing the sh$t out of their countries and literally causing 1,000,000 deaths of civilians. DId you know that the two Iraq Wars may have caused that many deaths? And they were both led by "Christian presidents" and both supported by the Religious Right?
But of course, they are "persecuting us," we that have been manipulating the ME, decapitating regimes, installing regimes, and invading/killing/couping the whole time.
It is like an abusive relationship where the abuser tries to blame the victim.

Well then, perhaps your beloved "Christian presidents" should not have spent the past 60 years manipulating the ME, removing regimes that were blocks to these extremist groups, funding rebel groups just like ISIS, and so on. It's called group karma bro.
That doesn't excuse it, but it informs the "why."
Bible
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

WESTERN POWERS.
CHRISTIANS.
You sir just bunched the 2 together even though I just proved in my last post that 'Western powers' are actually out to GET Christians.
How can you even put those two together. It's not Christians drone striking villages you tool it is the evil people in charge.
You think that our governments bombing muslim babies means that muslims should cut the heads off of Christian children as an appropriate response?
Come on..
