Aids, War and Conflicts due to Islamic Attempts to Impose Sharia

Conflicts Responsible For Spread of AIDS in Africa

NAIROBI (LWF) March 28 - A report of the Fellowship of Christian Councils 
and Churches in the Great Lakes and the Horn of Africa (FECCLAHA) has 
noted  that conflicts have contributed to the spread of HIV/AIDS in the 
region.

The report issued here today during the regional Interfaith Peace 
Summit pointed out that risks are substantially increased because of 
population movements within the affected countries and across borders.

Also, sexual violence has in the recent times become a tool of war, 
says the report. 

Surveys have established that the developments have greatly 
enhanced the spread of HIV/AIDS.

The report, titled, Emerging Conflict trends and challenges in the Horn 
of Africa, East and Central Africa region with a focus on the role of 
faith communities, was presented on the second day of the three-day summit.

But conflict's most visit impact is on physical infrastructure, the 
report  adds. Transport, energy, telecommunications, public buildings and 
housing are ruined and in a pathetic state of disrepair because of lack of 
maintenance during the times of war.

The report notes that because of long-lasting conflicts, such regions 
as Southern Sudan have almost no visible road network. In parts of the 
Democratic Republic of Condo land-based transport has almost collapsed. 
In addition, the structure of the economy is usually deeply affected and 
institutions often collapse. The lack of educational opportunities 
jeopardizes a generation's prospects and lays the ground for further 
instability.

The report says women and children, because they are the most 
vulnerable, constitute the majority of millions of people who are affected by 
conflict and live in terrible conditions as refugees.

It notes that faith communities have a strategic advantage to play a 
significant role in conflict transformation. Interfaith dialogue, the 
report recommends, could be used as an effective tool to advance peace 
building.

Advocacy, mediation, and capacity building are cited as some forms, 
which such dialogue could take. But it is recommended that following lessons 
learned from past civil wars, social reintegration would need to 
consider all the affected groups. "As faith-based organizations we must build 
on our special capabilities and perspectives while also recognizing and 
taking into account our limitations," the report said.

THERE IS NOT ONE CHRISTIAN NATION ON EARTH WHERE MUSLIMS ARE PERSECUTED.

Yet in most nations where the majority of the population are Muslims, there is systematic government persecution of Christians.

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

--Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights--

Christian Conversions - According to the Bible - Can NEVER be forced.

Any Conversion to Christianity which would be "Forced" would NOT be recognized by God. It is in His True and KIND nature, that those who come to Him and choose to believe in Him, must come to Him OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL.



Don't Let anyone tell you that Christians support Forced Conversions.

That is False. True Christianity is NEVER forced.
