More Than 60,000 Christians in America Gather in the Streets to Protest Islam and Islamic Persecution of Christians

Many Christians have had it with the total disregard of the current administration concerning Islamic persecution of Christians, and they are taking to the streets in droves in California and Idaho. On Sunday, a crowd of nearly 60,000 people gathered around the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles and protested.

The Christian Post reports:

Tens of thousands of Armenian Christians gathered in California and Idaho Sunday, calling for justice, on the 101st anniversary of the Armenian genocide, which President Barack Obama chose to call “mass atrocities.”

Some in the crowd of about 60,000 that rallied at the Turkish Consulate on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon chanted “Get your hands off our land!” while others shouted, “Eastern Turkey is western Armenia!” according to Los Angeles Times.

In Twin Falls, Idaho, several others gathered at City Park to commemorate the anniversary, according to KMTV. “Forget me not. That’s exactly what we are doing. We will never forget that,” Svetlana Movsesyan, an Armenian, was quoted as saying.

The gathering on April 24 marked the beginning of the genocide of the Armenians in 1915. You can read more on the Armenian genocide from Ileana Johnson here and here.
