[000:00:00;00] the key to the automated route, 80 volts. anybody very easy to sort of city and draw the look at what the in service of each skid 18 color revolutions is. one among set full of means to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them onto the help of of us the western economic interest to both inside. i didn't know if he did to everybody . democrats yeah. portal active. so know the best se lotus of to buy with them. and he can see the final goal of these theme or of allusions to ensure that there are no independent players in the world anymore.

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. and jesus just got to know he was in on this edition of 360 view,

we're 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, let's 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. 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 god. 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 persecuted 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 christians. nigeria, we're crushing it is the main religion with more than 90. $8000000.00 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 to all of this is unacceptable. and i would say this about any religion where its members were being targeted and persecuted for their faith streaming. now to help find some answers is jason jones, a film producer, author activist, popular podcast hose and human rights worker. he is present of the humans, right education organization and the director of the verbal 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 jason's whitestone divided hearts of america. now playing on fox nation, additional works directly to aid the 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? yes, got it. thanks for having me out. i 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, we've shared more folks. and we've had them in the previous 20 new house been in cash. and you do help people from all religions. but we're talking about christianity. do use in christianity from what you've seen is the most persecuted village in the world. and why would that be? yeah, christianity is definitely the most persecuted religion in the world and 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, mohammed what is setting that he'd be that mohammed said that if we're as muslims persecuted, always go to the christians. they will defend you. we saw in the late nineties in the early 2 thousands, the ccp was looked into christianity as maybe a religion. they could harness of the state religion. but the reality is as a persecuted other peoples in china,

the fall and gone the most of the leaders and others, the christians were always standing with them in hong kong. when you think of the freedom protesters 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 we're also called to serve the lease of bees . so in a society where 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? you know, that's a really great question. when i was traveling with the patch,

smart guy and the war against isis, the kurdish soldiers as they were battling, i says pushing them out of 1st century christian communities. i had asked many christians that were internally displaced and in camps and iraq, you curtis stand. 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 there's 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? that's in, in the, let's look to right now to ard sock world has turned its back on the armenian christians of arch soft. 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 world's eyes . and so often in history, you find that it might have started off there for a christian. you might have been welcome,

but obviously regimes change and it's not a welcome village and it just goes through rotations. and so you can see why some families have been there for generations. and i'm glad jason that you're 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 it's very safe to be christians and then there are provinces where we're seeing that the rise of radicalism, in fact, radical is lines. it's real home isn't even in them. and it's not in central asia, it's, it's not even really the most radical islam is not even come out of the middle east . it's come out of africa. do you think of events that i would say, i'm sorry. oh, some of and live and it's been many, many, many years in sudan. and right now we have a civil warranty down again or christians are being persecuted. so in nigeria you see a vero and 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 eligible people project has a program called the vulnerable parents program. we're we're 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 in the pot and poly letters 9 out of a 70 percent of the time. when he wrote to tie them to prey. it was to ties into prey to the persecuted church. and with this perverse ideology of globalism, sometimes needed, i did states and even in, in, in, in the other western countries, there's a reaction in the body of christ to say we need to focus at home. but it's christians, it's 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 of a church in afghanistan. and if we looked at paul is our example, he says,

to pray and fire to the persecuted church. this is our primary responsibility. sure, i'm your maybe your child's prep school and your affluent suburb of boston needs a bigger and better scoreboard a gym. but we have christian children with stones mining cobalt to go into electric vehicles. so woke social justice wires in the west can feel virtuous and it is our calling as christians to stand with those people here. there's so much to impact and what you just said i'm, we're going to get to that in the next segment. i do have to ask and we talk about the christian church and obviously it's one big group. or 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. but i do think that catholic social teaching the magisterial teaching of the church, which is changing 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

a need to the ccp where it was the catholics and cardinals. and to draw a line in the sand and or not borrowing to the cc piece moves at hong kong. and that's why of course there been 7 catholic bishops disappeared. elderly you know, got carlos that isn't his ninety's and, and he was charged. you have the most prominent catholic layman in china, maybe the most prominent catholic layman 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 don't choose and no one choose as to be a modern, you know, one of our church teaches it's 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 we're told when you stand with the verbal, you're 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 where wherever sides forces were pushed back, we started immediately with dash them to 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 his laughter. 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 use eating is eda pro,

to so many people are their religion is ok. something between pansy and somebody might have to use them. it's a, it's a pre abrahamic religion in its original form. and this in the prayers and then the anesthesia is from using what they felt most our full about was they felt they were betrayed by their muslim friends and neighbors. see they'd 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. it's a travesty. i marxist idea that out of the chaos and violence come something better . we, we can just look back at the history the can with the 20th century and a sorrowful, short history of the 21st century and see from all of our wars, all we got was these, these stabilization famine, religious persecution,

violence. we can even see europe being the, stabilize now because of the mass immigration caused by our region. change wars jason, hold on. stay right there to because after the break, we're going to ask jason, why not more is being done by both the government and the christian church itself to help protect their own persecution the the have games. dan has a drug with conquerors attention from time a memorial in the 19th century,

the british empire decided to subjugate that century. the british view, the afghan lands as the northern gateway to india, and wanted to turn them into an obedient province, trying to predict the independence, the mere of a dentist in the us little homage turned for help the russia rate. the rate is considered their deal political adversary. this was the last straw for london. britain declared war on the half gans in august 18, 39. the invaders occupied couple and brought their hands into bowers. the invaders brutally suppressed any resistance, thus, is telly. they slaughtered all ask in man who had reached the delta pan, raped hundreds of women seeking to humiliate the muslims to 1841. a general uprising against the british yoke began debris. it is under the command of general elton stone left couple and started to retreat. only a few out of the 16000 invaders who had begun their march from google made it to

the british position in jello. but the defeat of the royal army caused a norm is damaged to the prestige of the british empire throughout the world. the victory of the afghan people became the most important events in the history of the oppressed peoples resistance to the colonialists. it just failed the races. smith of the european invincibility for a new credit of great news present, zalesky, russia, and ukraine. are you creating a new crate? us m tires. it does as you know for the world. it is. i mean, it's proved in as you know, scam stand was the global warrant terrorist and then now we need a new business project. oh, there's a concert. can you create real pool nato countries and helps and destroy the natives military facilities and military production. the new york

ukraine and ukraine means they're just kind of thoughts. nobody cares about ukraine, did not care about the ukraine. people not at all the in this morning, i was pleased to announce another major round of us security assistance designed to meet the phrase urgent battlefield. all required actually. ok. he did, it would say, would have, can you do have the you are watching the 360 view on your host, scotty. now hughes, and we are back with our guest, a film 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, that's a great question and i, you know, the answer to that question. it's, it's, it's a disgrace. you can 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. 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 a genocide of the 1st century christian churches, churches that were planted by thomas himself on his way through a rock on his way to doing. yeah. of course, um, as that community was being wiped from the face of the year, you wouldn't hear a prayer from the po for a comment. i don't go to the 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 haven't been swept away by the ideologies of the age, or whether you're a member of the climate college or whether you're waiving the rainbow flag. then

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 d. busy which is where i could smell 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 iraq and we prayed for isis. we prayed for isis that god would forgive isis. and i had never heard a single prayer, the chaldeans, the assyrians, the kurds, are the, is easier the guy and from my pulpit. and i think that we feel there and there's 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, it's 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 you z. they'll tell me that i defended them as 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. and i've spent the past months in the high no. my community of hawaii working to rebuild of my own community. so, love starts at home, and if we don't assign 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. 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 don't believe in religious freedom. they all believe early read religious freedom to them is not a value they may use, freedom to worship and what they mean by that is so long as you're a practical atheist, and a practical materialist. that's fine. you can go to church on sunday, but leave your belief in a transcendent world trees. leave your belief that there's an anthropology of the human person of significance of, of, of ultimate dignity and worth. you better leave that in

a church. don't bring that belief into the politics, don't bring that belief into the workplace, don't bring that into government. and it, which is upset about that as united states, is the only country in the world and 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. dig into the human person are a public, is the only country in the world. founded on the the allergy, the revealed religious truth, the revealed teaching of a thing to be here in person is the foundation of our republic. but unfortunately, our leads have of, of data only that they not, no longer believe in 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 in the west 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, would you see in the, in the united states christians being persecuted for their believes or limited in how they practice. yeah. well, i, 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 sits at the top of a huge financial institution. and he was talking about strategies and ways in which you can come out of the closet and share his religious faith with others. so yes, there is no doubt. we've seen the department of justice weaponized against homeschool catholic families, weaponized against pro life activist weaponized against people again to have brought their fates into the public square. you can keep your face, you can go to mass on sundays, even go to church on but you can go to bible study on wednesdays. you can do all of that, but do not behave in public like do you believe that or you very well may find?

yes the i standing outside your door. we've seen the ring countless, you know, ring film, a video of 26 as the i agent standing outside a 20 year old woman's home who was praying outside of an abortion clinic. and it's, it's quite frightening. i do believe that people are beginning to wake up and i pray that the pendulum begins to swing in the other direction because it's 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 signed his phone, the f b, i 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. we're 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 got drunk with your friends and, and, and they would bring up everything you've ever done wrong in front of the entire village. well, now we see the mass of yeah, being used and a web to nice and social media is an instrument of care to against people who dare to besides of contradiction. and now what we'd have lost here. and now we have the department of justice being web based against us. we shouldn't be able to decide for ourselves though. it's a tragedy. but this is quite normal. this is what christians have had to suffer and are suffering throughout history and their suffering that when they arrive, whether suffering now in pakistan and india, they're suffering now in a jerry other suffering. now in most places in the. busy world and so it is a tragedy to see that have taken united states, but it's, we are no longer exceptional then we have 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 jones, let me ask where can people find out more about your project and where could they visit? what am i 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 we're 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 they're out. time village has been seen as a source of good as far as the bad. or is it been found in the name of ones god or lowercase, uppercase god, or lack there of the targeting and torture and members of a religious group had been encouraged or even commanded by their liturgy, or even leadership. the most frustrating is to watch one's 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. and i'm scared of using this has been your stories if the view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching

the in the western latest that we've got to not by the wrong schultz. there's so bad that some people are going to look for boots. and because of these boots and cares about these people pretend cares about his country,

the den. yes. i love you. done, boss. my name's still serious maximus crane. i'm an american citizen and then yes, which is why i'm here to show you back to do the west the truth. and as you can see, my government supplied weapons of struck for civilian area. this isn't a military target, this is a, a grocery store. oh my gosh, i can't imagine how these people have looked like this for 9 years. and there are children here. i'm telling you that have died because of my government's the united states government's funding of this list. i'm the baby here in

a civilian civilians right here. you can see an impact of the seas are, so this makes me angry. i'm sorry. oh, i mean, i know, but still you know, you feel responsible as in america, the, as all forces were hiding and civilian structures, the machine gun nest that we saw outside from the courtyard, the nazi tattoos on his body. our journey is that it's good versus evil. i pray that and i pray that victory comes soon and i believe it will. the only one main thing is important for knots isn't internationally speaking, so that is a nation's piece of uh, allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mine and agents who are the slaves. american, this rock, obama and others have had

a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous boy, a man that wants to take over the world. that was the culture of strategy. so some of the vehicle in your industry, i'm a, be i nazi leashed. it's often zip on and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we move east. the reason us, hey jim, it is dangerous. is it the lar, this, the sovereignty of the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large arms, companies would lose millions of millions or is business businesses good?

and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. the is rarely bombardments for porter lake kill at least 50 people overnight as the total dev pulled from a weeks of war in gaza. surpasses of 5000 a warning the following images may be disturbing. the civilians and silver and bear the friends of the devastating is rarely strikes. the hospitals overwhelms as fuel is running out to keep the lights on. and how modest relief is 2 elderly hostages from dogs, reuniting them with their families in tell of these,
