Christian persecution at record levels
American Thinker ^ | 22 Jan, 2016 | Carol Brown

The headline at The Clarion Project reads: "Christian Persecution in 2015 at ‘Levels Akin to Ethnic Cleansing'." The sub-heading notes that 2015 was "the most violent year in modern history for Christians." It takes one’s breath away to see the blunt truth summed up like that. And the world is turning a blind eye.

The article the references a piece at Open Doors that provides an overview of the rise of Christian persecution around the world. (See summary below.)

In 2015, more than 7,000 Christians were killed because of their faith (twice as many as the year before). And the estimate is conservative because it excludes places where there is ongoing persecution but where accurate records don’t exist (such as in North Korea, Syria, and Iraq).

Most persecution caused by “the religion of peace.”

And when Christians like the Iraq Christians get caught by 0bama’s goons, they get deported back to their persecutors.

This is exactly why the left promotes, covers up, and apologizes for the ROP.

So the question remains why Christian persecution, and the refusal of this administration to allow Christian refugees ( and tons of Muslim ones, instead) to come to the USA, a major campaign issue? Where is Trump, Cruz or any of the others? Why isn’t this front page?

Another stellar achievement for Obama and progressives the world over. They HATE Christianity.

It is quite possible these Christians are the 100,000 mentioned in the Bible who died for their testimony of Christ.

I would appreciate it if no one argued with me on this point I am making as it is my opinion.
