Fr Augustine Kanjamala is a Verbite clergyman who teaches at the University of Mumbai. He appeals to the Churches of the world to express their protest to the government of India which has remained inactive with regards to anti-Christian violence. He openly charges the Orissa state government for its increasingly explicit collusion with the pogrom currently underway against the community of faithful.
According to Father Kanjamala a plan to cleanse Orissa of its Christian population has been in the making for years, especially in the district of Kandhamal (where most of the atrocities have taken place) where Christians now constitute around 5 per cent of the population. Conversions by, development for and emancipation of Tribals and Dalits are confronted by Hindutva conservatism. ...We urge Christians around the world to protest to the government of India. We believe that India will be eager to protect its image as a secular and democratic nation in the international community of nations by promptly taking those steps that promote religious freedom and harmony.

With Islam encroaching on Christians all over the planet, and now even the Hindus getting into the act, and with a resurgent, belligerent Russia on the move once again, and a Communist giant like China growing exponentially in economic and military power, with the formerly powerful, Christian Europe declining in faith, will, and power, with American leftists getting bolder and bolder with their twisted plans for America, one can actually 'feel' something evil and forboding unfolding on the near horizon. The profound extent to which Satan has ensnared this world in his web of arrogance, lies, deceipt and death is breathtaking.
