In looking through some
news on Christian persecution today, I found this interesting article
written by
Doug
Bandow titled - Islamic
Religious Persecution (I added the question mark in the title, for
obvious reasons)
The West's relations with the Islamic
world remain troubled. (And why is that? hmmm) The latest challenge
was the Swiss vote to ban the construction of minarets on mosques.
However, Islamic governments are in no position to complain. They tend
to not only violate human rights, but also persecute Christians, Jews
and other religious minorities.
Many authoritarian states violate
religious liberty along with other freedoms. But Muslim nations are
almost unique in their willingness to persecute religious minorities to
promote religious ends, as is evident from the State Department's
latest report on religious liberty abroad.
Even the most moderate Islamic states often fall far short of
respecting religious minorities. For instance, Morocco detained
converts from Islam to Christianity, expelled Christian missionaries,
and restricted ``non-Islamic materials and proselytizing.'' Many other
Islamic states are far worse.
Click
here to continue reading the article and note the countries listed
and all the abuses done to Christians. Please also remember to pray
for those trapped and blinded by the father of lies who need so
desperately to come to faith in Jesus the Christ.
