Christians Persecuted Throughout The World -- Rupert Shortt, The Telegraph
The latest bombing in Nigeria shows how Christians are increasingly suffering for their faith – and how their plight is being ignored.
Imagine the unspeakable fury that would erupt across the Islamic world if a Christian-led government in Khartoum had been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Sudanese Muslims over the past 30 years. Or if Christian gunmen were firebombing mosques in Iraq during Friday prayers. Or if Muslim girls in Indonesia had been abducted and beheaded on their way to school, because of their faith.

Only two days ago, a suicide bomber crashed a jeep laden with explosives into a packed Catholic church in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 100.

thank you for replying to my previous post.
I hvae to agree on this one. Do you know how many churches, greek and serbian, have been destroyed in Kosovo by albanian extremists. As well as in Syria and targeted christians in Egypt. I myself am not religious but this is appalling. And the muslims complain about a video. even though i do condemn that.
