If our nation doesn't soon announce its recognition of this enemy...we must arise without its support.
IMHO
That I could be there, in Eriterea, to help & suffer wiht my Brothers & Sisters in Jesus...
Not once in the whole article did it mention who or what was resposible for the Christian persecution.
You guessed it, TROP, Muslims, ALWAYS!
I suspect we will be enlisted soon.
I didn't even notice its absence...what else is the respository of demonic anger if not islam?
Registered religions? Weird. I wonder if they have placed their people in high positions in these religions to make sure they don't make waves.
I feared for the life of this Christian brother upon his release. Continued fervent prayer for his safety is needed.
"Radical Hinduism: Persecution, and the War for India’s Soul" November 23, 2002Here is a news article online that should interest international students from India and their American friends.
"NEW DELHI, India — Earlier this month, the Indian state of Tamil Nadu passed an ordinance banning religious conversions. Under the new law those converting people from one religion to another face a minimum of three years in prison.
"Critics say the law is part of an aggressive Hindu agenda to restrict the rights of Christians and other minority faiths. While America worries about radical Islam, India, the second most populated nation on earth, has another worry — the rise of radical Hinduism. Now Hindu militancy is threatening the stability of the world's largest democracy.

But by far most stories are about Islam

President Bush is not a religious leader. If a religious leader wishes to enlist temporal powers to fight back against religious enemies, he may gain support from unlikely places.
El Cid cleared Spain from Muslim control in cooperation with some Muslim allies. The Serbs cleared Kosovo from Muslim control in cooperation with some Muslim allies. I do not know if such Muslim allies would be, or would not be necessary or possible in the future. Just in the middle ages Christians were able to develop Muslim allies who were more interested in their independence from the dominant Arab-Muslim power than in their position as a tool of that hierarchy.
That is the reason why I regret that Dubai ports deal didn't go through. I saw it as an opportunity to exploit faults in the Muslim world by supporting an ally.

Many in Somalia suspect the United States has backed the warlord coalition as part of Washington's war on terrorism.
The charge has offered Islamist groups, notably the Islamic courts that have brought order to some parts of Mogadishu by imposing sharia law, another rallying cry against warlords also vying for control of the seaside city.

Possibly. We were given another opportunity in Afghanistan and used it.

Isn*t ISLAM, (the murderous cult) usually behind the persecution of Christians?
How about Communism? Secular humanism? How about every human heart not filled with grace?
> That I could be there, in Eriterea, to help & suffer wiht my Brothers & Sisters in Jesus...
All it takes is a plane ticket.
Good post. While Islam gets the most press today, Hinduism is ... less than tolerant, and then there is Communism - still very much alive in China.
It's nothing new. To be persecuted is the mainstream of real Christianity. Jesus led the way by incurring the murderous wrath of the religious establishment.
Every century since then, including this young century, has seen the wholesale slaughter of His followers, usually by religionists who think they are doing God a favor.
