When Christians are persecuted and hated by Muslims, one is not allowed to speak of persecution of Christians, so the Lower Saxony Lutheran Missionwork’s press speaker Klaus Hampe (photo) declares. The Muslims are no persecutors of Christians because even “they themselves are religious,” much more, it’s that differing “religious-social spaces” sometimes bump into each other.
Hampe places the blame that Christians are becoming ever more victims upon the murdered ones themselves in connection with the Western culture and its colonialism.
According to Hampe, persecution of Christianity has various faces. In other cases as well, one is not to speak of Christian persecution. For example, nobody was persecuted when Muslim shepherds sent Christian nurses to their death because they were religious, and because the persecutors themselves were religious. It’s much more so that varying “religious-social” spaces have bumped into each other. Hampe makes no connection with the murdering of three Christians that occurred in Yemen in June, two of which were care helpers. To this day, there is still no trace of the family of five from Sachsen and a British engineer who were brought along with them.
Most of the cases of “Christian persecution,” according to Hampe, are fueled by social and cultural conflicts: “Christians belong to the majority of victims because the centuries’ old injustices of colonialism and the destructive economic and moral picture of the Western lifestyle are equated with Christianity.” Therefore, the message of the Christians needs to be that of bringing love and respect to those of other faiths.
The next time you are threatened by a devout believer, you can rest on the fact that he has nothing against you personally. It’s simply that varying “religious-social spaces” have bumped into each other. In case he injures or kills you, be sure to return love and respect to him because our Western civilization and colonialism has driven him to this act. Otherwise R.I.P.

Who sucked the rotten brain of this gentleman?
I realise that it is dangerous to judge a book by its cover, but isn't there a look of idiotic naivette about Klaus Hampe (photo)?

He is right. Muslims are theologically consistent when they kill Infidels, as that is what the Koran requires.
“Christians belong to the majority of victims because the centuries’ old injustices of colonialism and the destructive economic and moral picture of the Western lifestyle are equated with Christianity.”
The fact thatbthis plainly wrong is not be deplored and then corrected. No that would be too insensitive and will hurt the feelings of the Jihadis. Far better to accept the charge of colonialism.
Oh, and what about the wonders of antibiotics and western medicine that has saved the lives of hundreds of milions if not billions of non-westeners from certain death – does not that count for some propiation of colonial guilt?
Klaus Hampe's arguments are weak and ineffectual, and in keeping with his looks.
