People have pulically stated that they do not want muslims in Austrailia, that they are dictators and will take over, or want mosques and put pigs' heads in front of a prayer area. What does this remind you of? Two things actually: 1) How muslims were persecuted in early days by the Quraish read more

Persecution- christiansquoting.org.uk
2008-05-25 05:41:00 In a democracy the majority of citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority...and that oppression of the majority will extend to far great number, and will be carried on with much greater fury, than can almost ever be apprehended from the dominion of a single sceptre. Under a cruel prince they have the plaudits of the people to animate their generous constancy under their sufferings; but those who are subjected to wrong under multitudes are deprived of all external consolation: they seem deserted by mankind, overpowered by a conspiracy of their whole species.Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France , 1790The earnest freethinkers need not worry themselves too much about the persecutions of the past. Before the Liberal idea is dead or triumphant, we shall see wars and persecutions the like of which the World has never seen.

Decree-263 and the Persecution of Egyptian Baha'is (Part-3)
2008-03-16 01:48:00 In the previous two episodes, posted here and here, the impact of Presidential Decree-263 on the Baha'is of Egypt was reviewed. In this post, cited from the Baha'i International Community, one of the primary intentions of the decree was meant to incite hatred against the Baha'is, harass them and and inflame public opinion towards them. Future episodes will illustrate some concrete examples of the consequences of such strategy.Incitement to HatredAlthough Egypt's secular Government is not formally bound by traditional Islamic law under the Constitution, it has nevertheless apparently paid close attention to the fatwas issued by the Islamic hierarchy.Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (al-Azhar, Cairo, Egypt)The source of many of the fatwas and statements against the Bahá'Ãs is the Islamic Research Academy at Al-Azhar Unversity, which, as noted, issued the 15 December 2003 fatwa, along with numerous others. Often containing a profuse amount of erroneous information about the hi...

Decree-263 and the Persecution of Egyptian Baha'is (Part-2)
2008-03-05 23:08:00 This series on Decree 263 and its impact on the rights of the Baha'is of Egypt began in this previous post. The entire report is cited from a publication by the Baha'i International Community on the persecution of this religious minority in Egypt. Pictures are added by the author of this blog.The Decree and International LawBy any moral standard, the Decree is unfair and unjust. The principles of the Bahá'à Faith stress obedience to duly constituted governments, and the Bahá'Ãs of Egypt, in keeping with the teachings of their Faith, do not and have never become involved in partisan politics. They are committed to non-violence. They desire only to be recognized as full citizens of their country, actively promoting the progress and advancement of Egyptian society at large. The persecution and discrimination they face comes only because of their religious beliefs. Baha'is of Alexandria, Egypt (circa 1940)In theory, the Egyptian Constitution upholds freedom of religious belief....

Decree-263 and the Persecution of Egyptian Baha'is (Part-1)
2008-03-02 21:56:00 The Baha'is of Egypt were enjoying a relative degree of freedom until 1960 when the late president Gamal Abdel Nasser issued Decree 263 that brought much suffering to them in the years to come. The following account, cited from the Baha'i International Community report, describes in full details the effects, consequences and implications of Decree-263. The photographs are added by the author of this blog.President Nasser (circa 1960)History of the Persecution of the Bahá’Ãs of EgyptAlthough it faced periodic episodes of religious discrimination through the early half of the 20th century, the Bahá'à community of Egypt's greatest challenge came in 1960, when President Gamal Abdul Nasser issued a decree dissolving all Bahá'à assemblies, banning Bahá'à activities, and confiscating all Bahá'à properties. The Decree remains in effect and is the underlying source of the Bahá'à community's oppression today.Designated as Presidential Decree 263, the proclamation came w...

Pray for Christians in North Korea
2007-12-22 05:14:00 In public, there will be no observation of Christmas and citizens will go on with their daily routines as if it were any other day in the year. There will be no string lights on the streets, no wreaths, no Christmas music, and no holiday greetings in public as well as private.North Korea remains one of the few countries in the world where citizens are not permitted to celebrate Christmas at all.But Christianity is alive and growing in the oppressive communist state with some estimates putting the underground Christian population at tens of thousands.Although these believers are not allowed to openly express their joy at Christmas, they will still observe the meaning of the holiday, according to a Christian ministry working with persecuted believers in North Korea.?But, of course, Christians do reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ,? said Brother Simon, who coordinates the work of Open Doors in North Korea, from a secret location. ?Only they can?t just go along to church to sing or li...

Teddy Bears, Muhammad and common sense out the window!
2007-11-28 18:02:00 So Gillian Gibbons has been charged in Sudan for 'insulting religion, inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs' according to the BBC Website. Her crime, allowing her school children to call a class teddy bear Muhammad. I am sorry to cast judgment and all that but this is the most pathetic thing I have heard in a long time. Believe me I get the whole, not making images of 'the Prophet Muhammad' viewpoint since as a Christian I believe images should not really be made of Jesus Christ lest we fall into revering/idolising an image as opposed to worshiping Christ Himself. No image will ever be accurate of Christ's incarnated body since we don't know what He looked like and the bible is quite clear on creating images and idols etc...However, to arrest and charge a woman with the above charges on account of calling a teddy bear after a name some school children voted for on account of some of them actually being called Muhammad is just a religion 100% losing sight o...

2007-09-25 12:21:00 Author: Eric Subject: Persecution in India Darker than Report StatesPosted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 6:21 am (GMT -4) Persecution in India Darker than Report States India (MNN) ― The U.S. Department of State's 2007 Report on International Religious Freedom gives India high marks for respecting religious freedom. Because of the number of cases of anti-Christian violence reported, Open Doors' Carl Moeller disagrees with the findings. The All India Christian Council disputes the report saying the incidence of anti-Christian violence is much higher than available statistics indicate, as most cases are not reported to the police and are ignored by the media. The report covered the period from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007 and says the government of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), led by the Indian National Congress or Congress Party, "generally respected" religious freedom in practice. However, that doesn't reveal the true state of the Church. Moeller s...
9/01/07 - Life Journal - Persecution of the Believer
2007-09-02 03:40:00 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.Revelation 6:9-11Wow, that first sentence hits me like a bolt of lightening, "...the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained." That is practically impossible for us in the American church to comprehend. Many might say, "That's a thing of the past", but take off your blinders and look at the rest of the world.

Persecution in China is real
2007-07-28 04:00:00 There is no religious freedom in China. The free Christians that the world hears about, the churches that President Bush visited when he was there, are under the strict control of the government; just as the churches under communist's rule in old time Russia. The true Christians running underground house churches, witnessing, and printing Bibles are constantly being arrested, beaten, tortured, and locked in jail without fair hearings, let alone fair trials. Sadly the world turns a blind eye to the reports documented by religious freedom organizations and lawyers; this is wrong. China should not enjoy the priviledges of being on good terms with democracies when it is all the while hiding its abuse of basic human rights. As trading partners, Canada and America should protest the persecution of Chinese Christians; and those of us Christians who enjoy true freedom should pray for and help in any way our brethren who are suffering.Chinese Persecution

2007-06-22 16:00:00 So Lydia Playfoot is finally getting the opportunity to have her case heard. This is very high profile and is headline news on the BBC (A Video here). Should she be allowed to wear a ring symbolising her commitment to chastity until marriage? Is the school discriminating against her when other faiths are allowed to wear expressions of their beliefs that involve jewelry?This is difficult subject for me to comment on though I do feel passionately about Christians being discriminated against and applaud anyone who stand up and fights the madness that is Political Correctness. I go to the same church as Lydia and her family. Phil, her father, is Kings Church's main leader. The church is the first in the UK to run the Silver Ring Thing (SRT). Andy Robinson, the youth leader of my church heads up SRT in the UK. Therefore it is something I am very aware of and connected to.
