WASHINGTON, April 27, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- "The report late last week of an Islamist plot against the Vatican highlights the need Christians have for self-defense firearms," John M. Snyder said here today.

 

"Islamist fundamentalists throughout the world are waging a genocidal war against Christians," said Snyder. "Christians must have access to self-defense guns so they can protect themselves and their families against these religious fanatics."

 

Described as "the dean of Washington gun lobbyists" by The Washington Post and The New York Times, Snyder, a practicing Catholic, detailed his reaction to the news about the Islamist anti-Vatican plot, in the following video:

According to ANSA, an Italian news service, "The Vatican was reportedly in the cross-hairs five years ago of a Sardinia-based al-Qaeda Italian network that was busted Friday.

 

"Wiretaps from an al-Qaeda cell in Sardinia have provided evidence there was briefly at least one suicide bomber in Italy in early 2010 amid possible plans to attack the Vatican. Italian police launched a massive operation on Friday after uncovering the alleged al-Qaeda network based in the Sardinian capital, Cagliari."

 

"What this report means is that the Vatican has been a potential Islamist target at least since 2010," Snyder said. "That comes as no surprise, since Islamists for years have been pursuing an anti-Christian agenda of persecution.

 

"Christians and Christian leaders would do well to consider the statement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that, 'The man without a sword must sell his cloak and buy one,' according to Luke 22:36."

 

Snyder said, "Pope Francis, in addition to calling upon Our Merciful Lord for spiritual assistance in this trying situation, could initiate a worldwide program through which Catholic churches collect funds for the acquisition and distribution of self-defense guns to Christians facing barbaric Islamist persecution."
