The most persecuted faith in the world…….

WHY CHRISTIANS VEX MUSLIMS AND FASCISTS

A study from the Europe-based Center for Studies on New Religions recently confirmed that “Christians continue to be the most persecuted believers in the world with over 90,000 followers of Christ being killed in the last year [2016],” which computes to one death every six minutes.  The study also found that as many as 600 million Christians around the world were prevented from practicing their faith.

 

And which group is most prone to persecute Christians around the world?  The answer to this was made clear by another recent study; it found that, of the ten nations around the world where Christians suffer the worst forms of persecution, nine are Islamic.

 

What is it about Christians that brings the worst out of some, especially Muslims?  Three reasons come to mind:

Christianity is the largest religion in the world.  There are Christians practically everywhere around the globe, including in much of the Muslim world.  Moreover, because much of the territory that Islam conquered throughout the centuries was originally Christian—including all of the Middle East, Turkey, and North Africa—Muslims are still confronted with vestiges of Christianity.  In Egypt alone, which was the intellectual center of early Christendom before the Islamic invasions, at least 10 million Christians remain.  In short, because of their sheer numbers alone, Christians in the Muslim world are much more likely to suffer under Islam than other “infidels.”
