An English voice interrupted the amplified chants from the loundspeakers: "The cross was discovered 1 700 years ago, the holy cross is our highest symbol, it is a sign of spiritual freedom."

This from WORLD magazine's 9/25 edition:

"Eritrea also persecutes religious followers outside its four state-sanctioned faiths: Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics, Muslims, and the Evangelical Lutherans. According to the State Department, about 400 members of other faiths have been arrested this year, with some 200 still imprisoned. Just a week before the United States included Eritrea among the worst persecutors, the government arrested five evangelicals in Asmara who were worshipping together in their church office.

With the three new additions, the number of the world's most egregious violators stands at eight. North Korea, Sudan, Iran, China, and Burma remain on the list this year."

True disciples of Christ don't persecute others. These people are something else.
