Catholic Church In Sudan Prays for Survival (April 2004)

Excerpt:
Food and medical services are being withheld from the needy, in an attempt to persuade them to abandon Christianity. ...Acting in the name of "city planning", the government of President Umar al-Bashir has taken to sporadic demolition of homes and churches. Catholic parish centres - fenced-in compounds consisting of a mud hut chapel and school - are a particular target for the Islamic demolition teams.

Islamic Front halt masses and lessons in Catholic school near Jakarta (Religion of Peace Alert!)
Indonesia
October 2004


Excerpt:
Following last Friday prayers at a local mosque –during which inflammatory sermons were made against the Christian community– at least fifty shouting Muslims attacked the Catholic complex. They burnt the front gate and blocked other exits as their numbers swelled to include even more militants, including tens of Muslim women. Under the threat of machete- and knife-wielding attackers, worshippers –who were celebrating the Eucharist– fled the church.
