I Corinthians 13:13 states, "And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." Christians around the world and the people of the United States of America are not being charitable when they look the other way while thousands upon thousands of innocent people are being enslaved and killed, and do nothing. Ignoring Hitler's attempted annihilation of the Jews, rounding up and murdering millions, was not charitable. Ignoring Stalin's enslavment and killing of millions inside the Soviet Union was not charitable. Ignoring the Palestinian and Arab Muslim extremists' continual attacks against Israel, regularly killing scores and even hundreds of Jewish citizens while the militant Arab Muslims publicly proclaim their committment and intention to completely destroy and eliminate Israel as a state and the Jews as a people, is not charitable. Nor is it wise. Ignoring the slaughter of millions in Africa is not charitable. Ignoring North Korea's prisons, literal slave labor camps, is not charitable. Our buying products, produced by those Korean slaves for China and then sold by the Chinese to American companies, is not charitable. Ignoring an estimated 27 million-plus slaves around the world today is not charitable. Men, women and children are bought and sold in many countries, among them the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Mauritania, Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Albania, Burma, Thailand, China, Brazil, Dominican Republic and the United States of America. According to the CIA, approxiamately 50,000 women and children sex slaves, domestics, garment workers and agriculture workers are trafficked into the U-S each year. Ignoring Saddam Hussein and his son's cruel and inhumane treatment and mass murder of innocent Iraqis was not charitable. And please remember that Saddam and his sons killed more Muslims than anyone in history.
