the better the answer is will be the release of come to the russian states. never as one of the most on screen and the best most i'll send send up the send, the 6595 and speed. what else? suppose question about this. even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin, the machine, the state on the rushes to day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center for the question, did you say from stephen twist, which is the

piece 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. i'm starting now. he's 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 contemporary being current, 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. of 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 powers 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 are 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 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. i, you know, 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 host, 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 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? yes, got it. thanks for having the audit. have to say our organization is over 20 years old. i founded 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 a, over the past 2 years, we've shared more folks than we've had 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 and christianity from what you've seen as the most persecuted village in the world. and why would that be? and 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 was 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 ninety's in early 2 thousands. the ccp was looked into christianity is 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 and 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 least of these. so in any society, we're, 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 question 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 in 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 in, in camps in iraq. u. 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 of 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 the 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 is 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 are suffering greatly. 9 out of 10 christians that 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 pod 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, and united states, and even in, in, in, in the other western countries. there is a reaction in the body of christ to say, we need to focus at home. what is 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 fired 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 boons, 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, 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 lives in his ninety's. and in he was charged. you have the most prominent catholic layman in china, maybe the most prominent camp 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 don't choose, 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 bile to the spirit of the age and rather stand with the vulnerable and we're told when you stand with the marble, 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 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 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 ya, z, u, z or the 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 war,

there is fear and the worst and human instincts arise. we must always have a preference option for free a piece. it's a trustee, i marxist idea that out of chaos and violence come something better. we, we can just look back at the history of the we can with the 20th century and a sorrowful short history, the 21st century and see from all of our wars, all we got was these, these stabilisation, famine, 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, 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 from persecution? the

are in ukraine crate, who's present is the last 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, it's proven, you know, it's against a war, the global warrant, tara, and it's now we need a new business project. oh, there's a concert. can you create the 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 products. nobody cares about ukraine. they 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. okay. we did have it set up. can you do have 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. we're such shorter is a conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear the various jobs. i mean with artificial intelligence we have summoning the theme and the robot most protects this phone. existence was the

of the 1934 france invaded algeria and straight away the french started inhabiting it to strengthen their position. the column is known as the new waters took the best land from day one. the local population was put into an unequal position and was briefly exploited. this cause and as discontent. the people of l. g area began their long term fight for independence. in 1954, the banner of freedom was raised by the national liberation front. a guerrilla war against the occupants broke out. the french tried to suppress, to rebuild you and using cruel measures. whole villages were wiped out, acts of georgia and executions of civil people, including pregnant women, children,

and old people took place. more than 2000000 people were born into concentration camps. however, these punitive measures didn't help. cl, jerry and patriots managed to induce france to start seize negotiations in 1962 heavy and the cords were assigned 40 l. jerry on the bass towards independence. but this was achieved at a colossal price. algeria by rights is considered to be a country of martyrs. according to the calculations of historians, the french colonists are responsible for the depths of one and a half 1000000. l. jerry and you are watching the 360 view on your host, scotty. now hughes and we are back with our guest. a film producer author act was

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 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. 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 doing. yeah. of course, um, as that community was being wiped from the face of the or you wouldn't hear a prayer from the pope or 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 remember the cry they called, or whether you're waiving the rainbow flag than many of us have just become kind of doubt decadent in, in or 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 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, the god would for devices. and i had never heard a single prayer, the chaldeans, the syrians, the kurds, are the, is easier like a 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 doing the love 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 moslems with fallen, gone with u z d, they'll tell me that i've 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 month to 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 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 don't believe in religious freedom. they don't believe religious, religious freedom to them is not a value they may use freedom to worship, then what they mean by that is so long as you're a practical atheist. in

a practical materialist, that's fine. you can go to church on sunday, but leave your belief and had transcended world trees. leave your belief and had an anthropology of the human person of significance of, of, of ultimate dignity and words. 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 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 a thing to be human person is the foundation of our public. but unfortunately, our leads have of, of, they don't only that, they know, no longer believing that they see that is, and to 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 beliefs 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 and very influential in sits at the time. this was this week and sits at the top of a huge financial institution. and he was talking to you about strategies and ways in which you can come out of the closet and share his religious faith with others. so. busy 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 faith into the public square. you can keep your faith,

you can go to mass on sundays, even go to church and you can go to bible study on wednesdays. you can do all of that, but do not behave in public. why do you believe that or you very well made find. yesterday i standing outside your door, we've seen the ring countless, you know, ring film, video of 26. as the i agent standing outside a 20 year old. busy man'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 shot 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 drug 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. yeah. being used and a weaponized and social media is an instrument of care to against people who dared to be signs of contradiction. and now what we'd have lost here. and now we have the department of justice being weaponized against us. we shouldn't be able to discharge 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 they're suffering now in the garage where they're suffering now in pakistan and india, there's 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 it's, we are no longer exceptional and we've 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? well, my pod cast is a jason joan show and if you want to stand with the most vulnerable people in the world, from christians at home to weezer and 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, or is it 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 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. to scroll down using this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching the way i didn't yet. i love you done boss. my name's still furious maximus train. 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 a civilian area. this isn't a military target, this is a grocery store, desktop. 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 was more i'm the babies are currently being shown here in a civilian populated area which civilians right here to 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, i believe it will.

the, the western lead is that we, god do not bite them from schultz. they're so bad. there's some people are going to look for food and because of these products and cares about these people pretend cares about his country. the only one main thing is important for knox isn't internationally speaking. that is of nations because that's are allowed to do anything. all the mazda races, and then you have the mind and agents who are the slaves. americans, 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,

that 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 new one english v i v, i not leashed. it's often zoo by the end, tablet block. nato said it's ours. we move east. the reason us, hey jim, it is dangerous. is it the by 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. of 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, what we're facing, which is fashion. the, [000:00:00;00]
