Increased Religious Repression Reported in Cuba
Catholic Culture ^ | 1/27/15

Violations of religious freedom in Cuba increased in 2014, according to Christian Solidarity Worldwide, a UK-based organization that advocates on behalf of persecuted Christians.

“Week after week, scores of women affiliated with the Ladies in White dissident group, most of whom are Roman Catholic, were violently dragged away by state security agents to stop them from attending Sunday morning Mass,” the organization reported. “Many were beaten in the process and most were arbitrarily detained until after the conclusion of religious services.”

Whatever. Now we’ll get their cigars and the wonderful things associated with Cuba!! Maybe we can get guided tours and actually witness the beatings! Kinda like going to Amish Country and watching them raise a barn.

I’m trying to make a surprised face, but for some reason I just can’t.

We also get trade from Cuba, led by a sworn enemy of America and American interests. How easy will it be for the Castro’s to smuggle weapons in, drugs, and they will certainly help any muslim that wants to hurt Americans.

I’m convinced it’s just a ruse so that Obama’s hands will be clean when Cuba releases a hundred high ranking terrorists. All who have been sitting in prison becoming great buddies with each other.

There's increased religious repression in the USA too.

Religion is being destroyed in the name of an ethnic group (Blacks) who were once upon a time stereotyped as simple-minded Fundamentalists.

I wonder if Black churches will be exempt from the anti-religion war. Probably. What will happen if white people show up at Black churches just so they can safely worship? Probably be driven away with sermons about "social justice" and "gay rights." And the documentary hypothesis, of course.
