Police in northern India thwarted a plot by Hindu extremists who threatened to burn to death more than 60 Christian converts if they refused to return to Hinduism by Sunday.
Members of a Christian movement called Believers Church met peacefully Sunday in the state of Himachal Pradesh, according to Compass Direct, a news service that monitors persecution of Christians.
"We were able to meet without incident," said Ramish Masih Battih, the son of Pastor Feroz Masih.

I didn't realize there were Hindu extremists. So now we not only have to worry about Muslim extremists but Hindus also? Wonder what the Christian extremists have been up to? Oh, never mind - they've been trying to get a conservative justice on the SC. Violent, aren't they?
I don't know where WND gets its news from. But from past experience, especially regarding the article recently on the massacre of Christians, where the WND reporter made the serious blunder of mistaking Pakistan for India, the sources seem dubious.

Gloria, GLoria, GLORIA--In Excelsis DEO!!!
dang the hindis are taking a page out of the muzzies book. I expect better out of them
Maybe they could have a bbq and talk their problems ou over some hamburgers. lol
hahah!! Thats a great little paragraph.
And the Muslims could join in and have some barbecue pork!
Instead of Christians sending money and missionalries to the Sudan, India and other Christian hating nations, maybe we should be sending Christians in those countries GUNS, AMMO, ...
Pinggg...
I don't know. I haven't heard anything about this from any reputable Indian/ International source, notwithstanding the blunder WND committed, which I mentioned earlier.
This should have been big news in India, especially with the police being involved.
By the way, India's ruling party has a Roman Catholic as its president.
I was told the other day that India has the only Baptist state in the world. Is that true?
Hindus? I also thought that they were harmless...wrong but harmless.
No way! Maybe a state with a majority of its populace adhering to the Baptist faith, but not so in the official, political sense. India's constitution forbids religious demarcation, even if based on Hinduism. Note India has a terse relation with the world's only officially Hindu nation- Nepal, inspite of its "Hindu majority".
India has secular laws, and any attempt to associate into a religion-based separatist entity will be treated as treason/ rebellion to the Indian State, and will be put down. The Indian states of Goa and Nagaland have sizable Christian populations. Although Goa is peaceful, a change in religious composition of the tiny north-east state of Nagaland is linked to the allegation that the Church is funding an attempt at seccession from the Union. Please note, this is an allegation, so you do the research to understand better.
Another piece of anti-Hindu garbage ping!
.....straight from the very same (anti-Hindu) WorldNutDaily that reported events happening in Pakistan as happening in India. This is just another of WND's tirade of lies and slander of Hindus.
Very likely this article is not based in fact. It is based on emails and one Christian news service. In order to be taken seriously, there needs to be another source. WND gets it wrong about Hinduism and India. There have been more than several articles claiming that Hindus have harassed Christians in India, when the reality was that MUSLIMS were doing the harassing, in PAKISTAN.
Hindus and Muslims are not the same at all, and Hindus suffered terribly for hundreds of years at the cruel hands of Muslims. Rape, looting, slavery, mass slaughter, forced conversion - all at the hands of Muslim invaders.
Pardon me for pinging you all to yet another piece of anti-Hindu BS from the very same WND.
India is not a Christian hating country. So many people have very, very little knowledge of India. If you want to see some Christian hating countries, focus on ones like Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and other Muslim countries where they behead and torture Christains right and left. Or China, where they are imprisoned.
India has had Christians since one of the Apostles went there almost 2000 years ago. There were Christians in India before there were Christians in Europe.
