Five Of The World’s Most Dangerous Places To Be A Christian

A new study has found there is one religion in the world that is far more persecuted than any other.  As a reader in the western world, it might come as a surprise to learn that Christians face persecution at a far higher rate than any other religion in the world.  In fact, 75 percent of religious persecution is against followers of Jesus.

Examining 33 countries, the British branch of Aid to the Church in Need reported that most of the persecution was occurring in the Middle East, Africa and Asia in its 2011 "Persecuted and Forgotten? A Report on Christians oppressed for their faith."

Besides the usual suspects – China, IranNorth Korea, and Saudi Arabia – the report also reveals that countries such as Venezuela, Zimbabwe and even the Holy Land are guilty of religious persecution. The report also finds that Christians face increased persecution in 22 countries among those examined, with EgyptIraqNigeria, andPakistan being among the worst countries for believers to live in. The report also says that now 100 million Christians worldwide are facing persecution.

"The proportion of countries with a worsening track-record of anti-Christian violence and intimidation would be higher were it not for the fact that in many cases the situation could scarcely have been worse in the first place," the report stated.

It is estimated that 150,000 Christians are killed each year because of their faith, one every three minutes.

The worst "persecution" Christians face in America is the occasional Leftist attempt to get Christmas decorations removed from a public setting, or stores substituting "Happy Holidays" for "Merry Christmas."

It isn't as simple for followers in other countries.

HUHHH??? Oh, apart from the arson attacks and vandalism, or widespread denial of degrees and firings of people who are discovered to be Christians (esp. in academia). And I'm just speaking from firsthand knowledge of immediate friends and my own experience at the churches I've attended.

No, we don't have it as bad as believers in other countries. But let's stop pretending the situation in America is good either. We are not free, not if you have any memory of what the word 'free' means.
