My not the cus it as close as allies refuse to give case a chance in ukraine, and i will sign the word piece is not part of their lexicon. In the meantime, israel has been given the green light to do whatever it chooses, including ignoring international law, as well as highlighting rules. Hi, im rick sanchez and im here to plan with you whatever you do. Do not watch my new show. Seriously. Why watch something thats so different opinions that he wont get anywhere else. Welcome to please or do the have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. Choose your fax for you. Go ahead, change and whatever you do. Dont watch my show state main street because im probably going to make you, im comfortable. My show is called stretching time. But again, its not. We dont want to watch it because it might just change the way inside the in peace and love are 2 pillars of most religions. And yet in 2020 to 360000000 questions were persecuted with close to 6000 being killed for their belief in jesus. Im starting now. Hes in on this edition of 360. 00 view, were going to look at why the global persecution of christians around the world has seen a 24 percent increase in the last year. And what is being done to help protect . Lets get started. The. The persecution of christians is both a historical and a contemporary concurrence which involves the mistreatment discrimination and harassment of individuals and communities to identify as a christians or practice christianity of this persecution can take various forms including violence, imprisonment, discrimination, and restrictions on religious freedom. One of the most known instances which saw a large number of martyrs was during the roman empire as a christians for targeted for refusing to worship a roman gods as well as the emperor. But one would think with the advancement of society of science. So what also the towers of religion, especially one which is considered to be the largest religion in the world, may get nearly one 3rd of the global population. Yet today, christianity continues to be the most persecutor, religion. With 7 of the top 10 countries known for targeting christians in countries where religion plays a key role in the government and daily life. Now, according to open doors, these countries which are dominantly muslim, frequently target, harass, and terrorize those who profess to be christians. North korea, a predominantly agnostic country, is on top of the open doors list as well as india or hindu mobs are known to target christian nigeria were crushing or the is the main religion with more than 98000000 reside in the country remains the deadliest for believers as the african nation was responsible for almost 80 percent of all christians murdered for their faith this last year. So all of this is unacceptable. And i would say this about any religion where its members were being targeted and persecuted for their faith. So i mean out of help find some answers, is jason jones, a film producer, author activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker. Hey, its present of the humans, right, Education Organization and the director of the Vulnerable Peoples project. Jason jones is also a senior contributor to the stream and the author of 2 books, the race to save our century and his most recent photos on fire, which was released in 2017 jasons whitestone divided hearts of america. Now, playing on fox nation, additional works directly to a Homeless People facing genocide and women with crisis pregnancies. Thank you so much for joining us. Jason. As i could not think of a better person to talk about the persecution of christians around the globe. Then you . Yeah, scottie, thanks for having jada. Have to say our organization is over 20 years old. I found that the Vulnerable People project to stand with the most Vulnerable People in the world while the world had walked away from them. And i would say the past in the, over the past 2 years, weve shared more folks than weve had in the previous 20 new house been in cash. And you do help people from all religions. But were talking about christianity. Do you think christianity from what youve seen as the most persecutor, religion in the world, and why would that be . Yeah, christianity is definitely the most persecuted religion in the world and it will always be that way. And the reason why is because as christians, we are called to stand with any community that is persecuted. In fact, muhammed weddies setting that hed be, that mohammed said that if were as muslims persecuted, always go to the christians. They will defend you. We saw in the late ninetys in early 2 thousands. The ccp was looked into christianity is maybe a religion they could harness as a state religion. But the reality is as a persecuted other peoples in china. The following, gone, the Muslim Leaders and others, the christians were always standing with them in hong kong. When you think of the freedom protestors that were being rounded up and detained and disappeared. Those are predominantly catholic and why is that . Well, because as christians, we order our lives to a transcendent moral order, a truth that is above governments. And were also called to serve the least a bees. So in a society were, any community is suffering. Any community is impoverished, or any community is facing persecution. We as christians are called to stand with them. So it is inevitable that from now until our lord returns we, as christians will always be the most persecuted group. So then you mentioned a few countries right there. So i wonder why would a christian actually wish to live in a country where they know they are more than likely to be targeted and cannot look to the government for protection . I know thats a really great question. When i was traveling with the past margaret and the war against ices, the kurdish soldiers as they were battling it, i says pushing them out of 1st century Christian Communities. I had asked many christians that were internally displaced in, in camps and iraq. You curtis dan, and i asked that they had hoped to go to europe the United States, and they said that our family had been here since pretty history since even before the conversion to christianity in the 1st century. And this is their home. And so we work with communities across the world, not only of christians, but about theres this is their home. This is where their families are from. This is where they had been for centuries and millennia, and they want to stay where their roots are. You looking thats in, in the, lets look to right now to art soc world has turned its back on the armenian christians of art, soc and in just a little more than a century. Later after the armenian genocide, we have another armenian genocide. Happening right now in front of the worlds eyes. And so often in history you find that it might have started out there for it. Christianity might have been welcome, but obviously regimes change and its not a welcome village and it just goes through rotations. And so you can see why some families have been there for generations. And im glad jason that youre getting into specifics because i also look at some of the specific regions that have are on my radar. What are you know about why despite created being the official religion and nigeria, why is it so deadly for christians in that country . Yeah, there are places nigeria of course, so its very safe to be christians and there are provinces where were seeing that the rise of radicalism. In fact, radical is lambs. Its real home isnt even in the end, its not essential asia its, its not even really the most radical islam is not even come out of the middle east. Its come out of africa. Do you think of events that i would say, im sorry. Oh, some of been lied and its been many, many, many years in sudan. And right now we have a civil warrants to dan again, or christians are being persecuted. So in nigeria you see a virulent radical islamist ideology. And the christians, they are suffering greatly. 9 out of 10 christian so it will be murder this year will be murdered nigeria, our organization of horrible people. Project has a program called the vulnerable parish program. Were. Were providing security cameras and security guards for the most vulnerable christian schools, Christian Churches, and christian hospitals. In nigeria we, you know paul and his letters to the church and the part of poly letters 9 out of 70 percent of the time when he wrote to tie them to prey. It was to tied into prey to the persecuted church. And with this perverse ideology of globalism, sometimes needed guided states and even in the other western countries, there is a reaction in the body of christ to say we need to focus at home. But its christians, its very important that we are one body. We are one body with the church in india. We are one body with the church and nigeria, we are one body with a church and afghanistan. And if we looked at paul is our example, he says, to pray entirely to the persecuted church. This is our primary responsibility. Sure, im your maybe your childs prep school in your affluent suburb of boston needs a bigger and better Square Footage and but we have christian children with stones mining cobalt to go into electric vehicles. So woke social justice wires and the last can feel virtuous and it is our calling as christians to stand with those people here. Theres so much the impact and what you just said im, were going to get to that in the next segment. I do have to ask and we talk about the Christian Church and obviously its one big group. Is there a specific so also targeting the Catholic Church or the orthodox as compared to personally and places like nigeria as compared to more protestant religions. I do think the catholic social teaching, the magisterial teaching of the church, which is on changing and, and changeable. It makes us a, a bit more movable. We saw that in hong kong where a lot of the protestant churches quickly took me to the ccp where it was the catholics and cardinals. Then to draw a line in the sand and or not borrowing to the cc piece moves at hong kong. And thats why, of course there been 7 catholic bishops disappeared. Elderly you know, got carlos that isnt his ninetys and, and he was charged you have the most prominent catholic layman in china. Maybe the most prominent cath appointment in the world. Jimmy lie a billionaire who it was probably spend the rest of his life and die in prison because he was in movable and had to stand for freedom in hong kong against the ccp. So i do think that that in the Catholic Church and we have less room to maneuver around towers. And we, we have to just simply say that we, we must, we dont choose, you know, and choose as to be a modern, you know, one of our church teaches its a guess. And sadly, it is a gift. The one gets from our lord, when they refuse to bow to the spirit of the age and rather stand with the vulnerable and were told when you stand with the marble, youre standing with christ himself. Why does it seem like there is more hatred towards christians from muslim majority countries, especially there in the middle east . Yeah, well we see that again. I think a lot of this tragically is their reaction to the regime change wars. And it did not make any sense that we were backing militias that were aligned with isis. And then toward toppling a side whatever side sports is, were pushed back. We saw an immediate liquidation of the Christian Communities. And so i do think that there is a natural reaction that you want to kick back at the western powers that be stabilized your machine. And all this left is sadly, those christian neighbors of yours. I just recently in early august was invited to attend memorial and nebraska for the survivors devices that were u z u z. The other pro to so many people are their religion is something between pansy and somebody might have to use them. Its a, its a pre abrahamic religion in its original form. And this in the prayers and then the anesthesia is for me, is eating. What they felt most sour full about was. They felt they were betrayed by their muslim friends and neighbors. See, theyd families have been friends with for generations, and this is why is christians, we must always work for peace because when there is more, there is fear and the worst and human instincts arise. We must always have a preference option for pre a piece. Its a trustee, i marxist idea that out of chaos and violence come something better. We, we can just look back at the history, the depletion with the 20th century and a sorrowful short history, the 21st century. And see from all of our wars, all we got was these are these stabilization fam and religious persecution, violence. And we can even see europe being the, stabilize now because of the Mass Immigration caused by our resume change wars. Jason, hold on, stay right there to because after the break, were going to ask jason, why not more is being done by both the government and the Christian Church itself to help protect their own from persecution the, the russian states never as tight as im one of the most sense Community Best most ill send send up the in the 65 to 5 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the r t, suppose next, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. For what question did you say a request which is the for and you can create use present, zaleski, russia, and ukraine. Are you crazy there and you create us m tires . It does, as you know, for the world, it is, i mean, its proven, you know, its against and were the global warrant terrace, and its now we need a new business project. Oh, theres a console. Can you create the full nato countries and helps to destroy the native military facilities and military production . The new york ukraine and ukraine means theyre just kind of thought, nobody cares about new cream. They did not care about the training people, not at all the and this morning. I was pleased to announce another major rounds of us Security Assistance designed to meet the phrase urgent battlefield. All required actually. Ok. He did it. Whats it, can you do if that the, the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. Were such orders at conflict with the 1st law shows. Alignment of the patient. We should be very careful about our personal intelligence. The point obviously is to trace a truck or rather than to the area. I mean with Artificial Intelligence we have summoning the theme and the robot must protect this phone existence with alexis, the you are watching the 360 view on your host, scotty. Now hughes and we are back with our guest filled producer, author activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker, jason jones. Jason, thanks so much for continuing this conversation. Do you feel like the christian charges doing enough to help their brother . And i mean, there are emissions all the time to help members of other religions. Should they be focusing more on their own . You know, thats a great question. And i, you know, the answer to that question, its to disgrace you to drive out of washington dc. And you can see some of the historic protestant churches find the rainbow flag, but not a word for the church. And nigeria not a word for the church in china, and that will work for the church in india or pakistan. Pope francis, when there was the genocide of the 1st century Christian Churches, the churches that were planted by thomas himself on his way through a rock on his way to india. And of course, um, as that community was being wiped from the face of the or you wouldnt hear a prayer from the po for a comment. I dont. And so yeah, the church can do much more. I think in the west we have to be very honest as well, for those of us who havent been swept away by the ideologies of the age, or whether youre a member of the Climate College or whether youre waiving the rainbow flag than many of us have just become kind of doubt decadent in order looking. Um i know that even in my very own church i had just come back from a rock where i would walk through the. Busy which is where it gets now, the burning flash of christians and buildings that were still smoldering. And i came back home when to my peers the sunday after returning from a rack and we prayed for isis, we prayed for ices that god would forgive isis. And i had never heard a single prayer, the chaldeans, the assyrians, the kurds, are easy to hear the kite from my pulpit. And i think that we feel there and theres some way of virtue for standing up for an other one, not standing up for our own. But obviously if we stand up for our own, if we stand up for our own, its due at the level of our own the we have an understanding of the love for the other. I can tell you with my work around the world, with muslims with fallen gone with u z d. Theyll tell me that i defended their lives if i was their own brother. And i said, well, you may feel that way, but i think i would fight for my own sister a little harder in that spent the past month to the high. No. My community of like working to rebuild of my own community. So, love starts at home, and if we dont defend the Christian Communities of africa, of the middle east of central asia, if i raise my voice from others lobster for others and other parts of the world, you should trust you should distrust my motives. You should distrust my motives and why have the governments of the world, especially the governments of the west, especially United States state department. I stopped speaking up for christians. They dont believe in religious freedom. They all believe really is really religious. Freedom to them is not a value they may use, freedom to worship and what they mean by that is so long as youre a practical atheist. In a practical materialist, thats fine. You can go to church on sunday, but leave your belief and had transcended world trees. Leave your belief and had an anthropology originally person of significance of, of, of ultimate dignity and words. You better leave that in a church. Dont bring that belief into the politics. Dont bring that belief into the workplace, dont bring that into government. And which is upset about that is United States is the only country in the world is founded on an apology. And that is the declaration principle. We hold these truths to be self evident that all that are, are endowed by their creator with inalienable rights. That is, a statement either unique. Digging into the human person or republic is the only country in the world. Founded on the the allergy, the revealed religious truth, the revealed teaching of the ding it to be human person is the foundation of our public. But unfortunately, our leads have of, of, they dont only that, they know, no longer believing that they see that is and that a and is an obstacle as an obstacle to achieving their political goals. But jason, you, you mentioned here on the west side of the how the west versus the United States was formed on certain values. Christian values. Do you see christians actually being i mean, we can point out to, to the muslim countries, but you see in the, in the United States, christians being persecuted for their believes or limited in how they practice. A lot of people are afraid i was just, i just met with a man who was very wealthy is very influential. It sits at the time this was this week and says at the top of a huge financial institution. And he was talking about strategies and ways in which he can come out of the closet and share his religious faith with others. So. Busy yes, there is no doubt. Weve seen the department of justice weaponized against homeschool catholic families, weaponized against pro life activist weaponized against people. Again to have brought their fades into the public square. You can keep your face, you can go to mass on sundays. You can go to church on you can go to bible study on wednesdays. You can do all of that, but do not behave in public like you believe that or you very well made find yes, the i standing outside your door, weve seen the ring. Countless, you know, ring film, video of 26 as the i agent standing outside a 20 year old womans home who was praying outside of an abortion clinic. And its, its quite frightening. I do believe that. Um, the people are beginning to wake up and i pray that the pendulum begins to swing in the other direction because its become literally quite absurd again and this weekend i was with a very prominent man, a former member of congress. While we were together. He, he said his phone, the guy was visiting his house and wanting to talk to him. So we do see religious persecution in the country. We do see the government being weaponized against us. Were living through a cultural revolution like we had in china, you know, in china, they would bring you up on stage in front of the village and they would raise you when you were in 3rd grade. You got an ass in, in history class when you were a sophomore high school. You guys wrong with your friends and, and, and they would bring up everything youve ever done wrong in front of the entire village. Well, now we see the mass and yeah, being used in weaponized and social media is an instrument of tear to that against people who dare to, besides a contradiction. Now what wed have lost here, and now we have the department of justice being web based against us. We shouldnt be able to decide for ourselves though. Its a tragedy. But this is quite normal. This is what christians have had to suffer and are suffering throughout history. And theyre suffering that one big arrived, whether suffering now in pakistan and india, theres suffering now and jerry, other suffering now in most places in the world. And so it is a tragedy to see that have taken United States. But its, we are no longer exceptional and weve just become like everyone else, i guess. And it will be real interesting to see who exactly steps up and defends those in the west from persecution. Thank you joe. Jason jos. Let me ask, where can people find out more about your project and where could they visit as well. My pod cast as a jason jone show and if you want to stand with the most Vulnerable People in the world for christians at home to were in chinese occupied, you start to stand, go to our website, the Great Campaign dot org. Thank you so much for joining us, jason. Thanks. Now throughout time, religious been seen as a source of good as far as the bad words have been found in the name of ones god or lowercase uppercase god, or lack there of the targeting and torture members of a religious group had been encouraged or even commanded by their liturgy or even leadership, the most frustrating is to watch ones religion, outright campaign against another, which so often little defends by others of the same faith, a pattern which will only be disrupted by divine intervention. Im scared of using this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. Thanks for watching the, the west. The latest that weve got to not fight in chrome. Schultz. This is so bad. Theres some people are going to look for foods in because at least between kids about these people pretend cares about his country, the the, [000 00 00;00] the fee for this carrier, as those here, as for the initial setup both um no, do you have to be on the bottom of the dora slash pursue.
