Denna gång blir det inget skrivet av mig. Tycker bara detta var intressant om vilka det är som förföljs i världen.
3 Facts You Need to Know on Christian Persecution
WHAT PERSECUTION IS:
Religious persecution is the mistreatment of an individual or group because of their faith. The levels of persecution can range from acts of hatred, second-class citizenship, job discrimination, and forced conversion, to imprisonment, torture, rape and death.
HOW CHRISTIANS ARE PERSECUTED:
Believers are persecuted by both society and the government, meaning that sometimes persecution is policy (such as detention and prison) and other times it is the cultural norm (such as harassment). Other common practices are property damages, displacement form homes, physical assault, and death.
WHERE DOES PERSECUTION OCCUR?
All over the world. From 2006-2009, Christians were persecuted in 130 countries (according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life). The more extreme cases are found in the 10/40 window.*
