Anti-Christian crimes downplayed Open Doors, an organization supporting persecuted Christian churches, asserts 100 million Christians worldwide are targeted for their faith. It found that eight of the top 10 countries that are the most dangerous for Christians to practice their religion are nations with Islamic majorities, including Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen. New on this yearâs Open Doors list is Iraq. As the U.S. military footprint has receded, violence against Iraqi Christians has surged. The worst recent attack was an Oct. 31 siege of the Our Lady of Salvation Cathedral in Baghdad that killed 51 worshipers and two priests. In another mass attack against Christians, a suicide bomber detonated at a Coptic church in Alexandria, Egypt, last weekend, killing 21. Anti-Christian atrocities are far from uncommon. The State Department this week said it is âdeeply concernedâ by increasing attacks on Christians in the Middle East and Africa, citing Iraq, Egypt and Nigeria. Christmas Eve church attacks and explosions in Nigeria killed 38 people. In Afghanistan, a prosecutor threatened the death penalty against two Afghans who converted to Christianity. Islamic organizations are blamed for multiple attacks on churches in Indonesia. A Somali teenager was murdered last month for converting to Christianity. The Taliban kidnapped and killed three Christian relief workers in Pakistan last summer. Just being tolerant of Christianity can make you a marked man. A prominent Pakistani governor was assassinated Tuesday by his bodyguard. His crime: Working to repeal blasphemy laws used to persecute minorities and standing up for a Christian woman sentenced to death under those laws. An influential group of more than 500 Muslim clerics and scholars paid tribute to the killer. http://www.suntimes.com/3170704-417/christians-christian-anti-attack-christianity.html
Christians begging for their lives. Not in Israel, sameeh, in Indonesia. Dozens of Christians held prayers inside their boarded-up church near Indonesiaâs capital Sunday, saying they had as much right as anyone to worship in the worldâs most populous Muslim country. And this is not in Israel either Where are the peaceful protestors in Egypt? Well, apparently they don't care for Christians too much. Christians have been and are being targeted throughout Muslim country's. "Since the toppling of Hosni Mubarak in February, many Coptic Christians have begun making plans to leave the country, fearing instability and the rising power of Islamist political groups. Lawyers who specialize in working with Coptic Egyptians, who account for around 10 per cent of the countryâs 80 million citizens, say that in the past few weeks they have received hundreds of calls from Copts wanting to leave Egypt." Egypt is a disaster right now. Where is the American media reporting on it? http://theaspiringsurvivalist.blogspot.com/2011/04/fearing-islamists-and-chaos-christians.html
Bottom line, and as always, after your hate is exposed, you refer to Pakistan (Not Arabs) to show how bad Arabs are. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Tell me a_person, why is it unacceptable to sleep with a Goyom? Are they considered to be filthy?
You wish Persecuted Churches. Guess what Scheherazade, Israel is not on the Anti-Christian hate map, the entire muslim world is together with China, Vietnam and North Korea. BTW the irony of the Islamo-Uber-Leftist alliance in not just hating Israel but persecuting Christianity is inescapable.
As if they dare criticize the zionist entity shoshana! that is good. The Palestinian Christians have been asking for help for years, their plight was pushed under the rug because, after all, who dares to challenge the chosen one. John Paul II was turned into a Nazi soldier for daring to challenge you, who else would dare do that?!

I can tell you, as someone who's had lots of contact with the Episcopal Church, that most of them are firmly on the side of the Israelis, around here at least.
Does anyone claim to treat christian catholic (orthodox) palistinians well? When I see the shows hear it seems like they are always getting shot at or their churches are getting bombed.
american christians have no love for jews. infact they preach that all jews will go to hell. american christians only tolerate israel becaus in the biblical "jesus will return" myth israel is ground zero for where jesus will land on his return flight.
Yeah right. It has turned out to be a pretty interesting parallel universe thread after all. Islamists (sameeh) who have successfully rid the Middle East of Christians are accusing Israel of anti-Christian bias, Leftists who hate Israel and the Jews are accusing the best supporters of Israel and Jews of jew hatred. Who do you guys think you are fooling other than yourselves?
