Ethiopian Muslims Persecute Christians, Jail Christian Activists

[From article]
Islamic supremacism in action. This absolutely defines the very idea of sharia law. “After official complaints made to Ethiopia’s government about increasing persecution of Christians in a Muslim-dominated area of southern Ethiopia surfaced in the media, a district court charged six members of the administrative committee of an Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC) with inciting public disturbance, destroying public trust in government officials and spreading hatred.”
[. . .]
The men were members of St Mary’s Orthodox Church in Kilto, 180km south of the capital Addis Ababa in the Silte zone of SNNP state. Silte is a Muslim-dominated zone that came into existence after the Silte people unanimously chose to form a separate zone in a referendum held in 2001.
A number of Ethiopia’s prominent Muslim politicians come from Silte, including the current Minister of Defence, the Minister of Communications and the current caucus leader for women’s affairs in the federal parliament.



Since the new zone’s inception over a decade ago, its capital, Worabe, has seen tremendous growth and is now home to at least four prominent mosques. But leaders from the EOC have been complaining about increasing persecution, including attacks on their church and its members by local Muslims and officials of the local government. These complaints have received considerable attention from local independent media outlets.
[. . .]
The six leaders wrote a letter of apology. That did not deter the district prosecutor from charging the committee members on 6 July with inciting public disturbance, destroying public trust in government officials and spreading hatred. On 7 August the Eastern Azeret Berbere district court found them guilty of all charges.
The judge sentenced administrative committee leader, Yemariam Worke Teshager to eight years and eight months in prison and sentenced each of the others to five years and six months in prison. They are Masresha Seife, Nigatua Lema, Mulugeta Aragaw, Habtamu Teka and Maru Lema.

Anti Semitism Pervasive on Campuses

Advocates who oppose bringing Sharia law to the USA, and supporters of Israel are are often silenced. Reasons for adopting "us against them" includes, (1) Muslims and leftist Americans want to destroy Israel; (2) there are 1.6 billion Muslims, and about 13-15 million Jews in the world; and (3) there are 49 Muslim dominated countries in the world and one dominated by Jews. Is this an example of the majority bullying a minority and Universities taking the side of the majority? What happened to defending minorities?

The Islamic State militant group has killed 1,878 people in Syria during the past six months, the majority of them civilians, a British-based Syrian monitoring organization said on Sunday.
Islamic State also killed 120 of its own members, most of them foreign fighters trying to return home, in the last two months, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
