Sister Hatune Dogan arrived at the Atlanta airport for a stopover on her way beck to Europe on a cold, gray afternoon in late December. She was dressed in traditional black runic with a habit covering her hair. A simple wooden cross hung around her neck and she carried with her a well-worn copy of the Quran.

One might expect an Eastern Orthodox nun to carry a Bible, but it is the Quran which has become her constant companion wherever she travels, reaching out to Western believers who want to learn the truth about life in the Middle East as a Christian.

This is the book, she says, that has led to so many tears among religious minorities in every country where Islam dominates.

 

1915 Genocide by the Ottoman Empire

She grew up under what she calls the “hard persecution of Islam” in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border, a part of the world that was once almost all Christian but over the centuries has seen its numbers whittled away.

When people ask her why ISIS is so brutal, she starts by taking them back to 1915, when her family lived under the Ottoman caliphate. The Ottoman Empire serves as the model for the Islamic State, also called ISIS. The Ottomans slaughtered 3 million Armenian, Syrian, and Greek Christians and reduced others to second-class status under subjugation, or “dhimmitude.”Armenian Christian accounted for about half of the 3 million who lost their lives in Turkey, but the other half were Christians of various ethnic backgrounds—Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox and Protestants.

Her family initially lived in Turkey as Jews, but later her entire village converted to Christianity.

 

quranWhat the Quran says

ISIS is nothing new, she said, just the re-emergence of Islam’s dark side. It’s the Islam that many Americans have never been told of, either by their government, their schools or their churches.

“ISIS is not fanatic. ISIS is not more terrible. ISIS is real Muslim believers who like to follow the Quran and Muhammad,” said the feisty nun, who founded the Warburg, Germany-based Sister Hatune Foundation, a global relief effort that has been honored by the German government for its dedication to human rights.

There are moderate Muslims, she says, but they are not the ones reading about and trying to emulate the life of Muhammad.

‘Others say they are Muslim. They say they believe Quran, but they don’t follow it,” Sister Hatune said.

Sister Hatune believes Christians in the West should learn what is written in the Quran, as well as the hadiths, which comprise the sayings about the life of Muhammad. If they did, they would not be fooled by their leaders, such as President Obama, who famously said the Islamic State is “neither Islamic nor a state.”

ISIS, she contends, is not doing anything that hasn’t been done in the past by devout Muslims who have conquered a people they see as “infidels.”

Drawing on her own family background, Sister Hatune has recently finished work on her 13th book, “I Believe in Action”, written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Christian genocide in Turkey. In this book she compares the life of Jesus to that of Muhammad, Islam’s prophet.

“I write not from my head. All facts,” she said. Muhammad came and he brought killing, beheading, pedophilia. He slept with a 9-year-old girl he married when she was 6 years old. We know because she says it herself in the Hadith. In Yemen today, where Shariah is the law, they have to marry the girl before her first menstruation, maximum of age 13, because it is written.”

“Twenty-five tiems in Quran it says to kill Christians because we are involved in polytheism,” she said, explaining that mUslims do not understand the concept of the Holy Tritinity. “Also, it says to not make friends with Christians.”

“A mosque is not just for prayer,” the nun said. “It is to prepare to kill the unbeliever and control the world.”

In the Quran there are 97 verses against the unbeliever, she noted.

“And there are verses against the Christians who say God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, or that Jesus is the Son of God. They have to be beheaded, the head cut off from the neck; no other interpretation. This is what the Muslims are doing.

sharia-vs-womenNormal Muslims, who are really Muslims, have to follow this rule,” she said. “There will never be peace on Earth if theyse verses of the Quran are jnot stopped. It is in the Quran, Hadith and Sunna 36,800 times, the words ‘cut,’ ‘kill,’ or ‘attack.’ How can there be peace on Earth?’

The quran also gives Muslim men permission to rape girls and women who are held captive as slaves. (Sura 23:5-6)

Muslim apologists in the West say the verse is taken out of context by “Islamophobes,” but Sister Hatune believes otherwise. “Those of us Christians from Middle East. We know them. We know their rules,” she said.

“Education is not allowed for the girls. The women are created for the sex for the gents,” she said. If she becomes raped she has to bring four men with her as witness. Of course it is impossible, so she will be stoned. There are so many women and girls who die from stoning.”

Sister Hatune’s Life

At the age of 14, Sister Hatune left Turkey with her parents in 1985, finding refuge in Germany.

“We were a rich family. They threatened my father. He run away. He said this is enough. We must leave everything and go.”

Theodore Shoebat, son of former Palestinian militant-turned Christian Walid Shoebat, described Sister Hatune in a Dec. 30, 2013, article as a modern-day Mother Theresa.

Her righteous deeds of course receive the vociferous wrath of the jihadists; in the words of Dogan, “I get 18 death threats in seven languages.”

christian-persecution-handsA Message for America

“America is inviting its own slaughterers to its door,” she said, referring to the U.S. policy of taking in Muslims through the United Nations refugee program and other immigration programs.

The U.S. has accepted nearly 2 million from Muslim countries since 1992, and this does not even include family reunification, student visas and employer-based immigration.

[American response to her message has generally been rejection. People refuse to accept reality and truth.]

Warning: Muslim Extremism must be confronted

sharia-no-americaThe nun says The Islamic culture must be confronted. However, if there is a void or a weakness in the Christian culture, the muslims will sense that weakness and step up their efforts to intimidate and attack even more aggressively, she says. Eventually the intimidation gives way to subjugation.

“You cannot be afraid of Islam culture,” she said. “If you run, they will come after you like dog culture. You must stand your ground.

I don’t say fight. I say resist.

I say to them, ‘Stop. I don’t want you. I have my own God.’”

They come here thinking to conquer the country. If they don’t accept the American way of life, go back home. The government has to understand this.”
