Persecuted Christians finally getting noticed

To whom?I have privately been screaming about this, as you'd know if you could see my facebook page, which you can't. But with whom should I lodge a protest?The official government of Nigeria is against this, I can't protest to them, they agree with me.The government of the US has sent people to find them. That's good. But it means I can't protest to them, they're on my side and taking action.The whackjob loony leader of "Boko Haram" is responsible for all this, but I can't protest to him, partly because he's insane, and partly because if I knew how to get in touch with him I wouldn't bother writing letters, I'd apply for the $7,000,000 bounty on his head.Where do I file my protest? Where did you file yours? To whom do we address it?Again, I would ask you, since you raised the subject: what can I do? What action can I take? You have once more raised the subject without including this information in your post, as though you want to complain about stuff but have no interest in anyone actually doing anything about it. If you can think of anything we should be doing, do let us all know.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

...and so prayer was invented. A futile act to comfort those incapable of real action.

I'm just glad to know you're keeping track of it all. Often there isn't anything one can do, as you say.

America has lots of Christians.If even a fraction of them moved to the Sudan, they could elicit real change within the country. I'm guessing that would be the truly Christian thing to do: Sacrificing your wealth an comforts for the betterment of mankind and all that.

I'm just saying that it isn't really a confirmation of your I-told-you-so.By the way, if you were ever persecuted for your Christianity, the atheists on this forum would be the first ones to stand up for you.

I've often thought along those lines myself. We wouldn't be welcome, of course, would probably trigger some violence, so I'm not sure it's all that great an idea when you think it through.

So you won't sacrifice your wealth, safety and comfort to help Christians who have none of these things because you would be in the same position as them? Yes, I see you are drawing heavily on your Christian faith in your moral assessment.

Wouldn't that be an ideal way of tackling the issue?Luke 12:33 - Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.I guess wide screen TV and air con are too much to give up for the oppressed (one of the advantages of being a soulless, hateful atheist is that I don't have to act directly against the position I espouse).

They wouldn't be welcome to the point of not being allowed to stay in the country. The U.S. is not the only place in the world with immigration laws.

Yes, nobody gets into and stays in the US without permission If 10 million US Christians went to the Sudan, I don't think Sudan's famously effective government would be able to do much about it.

Yeah, there's not much of a guard on the U.S.-Sudan border. And once the intrepid Christians have crossed, they'll blend easily into the surrounding population, which I'm fairly sure consists largely of white people who don't speak Arabic.

Who cares about blending in when you have an army of Jesus powered martyrs?

I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible"

I like this idea. This could be very good under two caveats. First, if there were some way to chose which christians went, like having entire churches, the mega-churches, go and the, second, if there were some way to make sure they don't come back.
