Anti-Christian persecution

Among WORLD'S TOP ANTI-CHRISTIAN REGIMES

1. North Korea: Reports are that Christians are being used as human guinea pigs for the testing of both biological and chemical weapons there. It is illegal to be a Christian there and bible carriers are executed by it's authorities.

2. Iran: Christians are subject to arrest at times and conversion from Islam to Christianity is not easily tolerated, as converts likely to be tortured by officials.

3. Saudi Arabia: Churches of other religious denominations than Muslim are outlawed. Apartheid against non-Muslims. Death for apostasy from Islam. Two major cities (Mecca and Medina) forbid entrance of non-Muslims. Items such as the bibles, a cross, or other religious symbols are prohibited by law.

4. Somalia: Somali Christians practice their faith in secret and under extremely dangerous conditions. At least ten souls have been killed for their faith. Some women have been raped and other people have been kidnapped. Islam is the official religion; there is no legal provision for religious freedom.

5. Maldives: The Maldives is a chain of some 1,200 small islands in the Indian ocean, southwest of Sri Lanka. Adherence to Islam, the state religion since the 12th century, is required for citizenship and nearly all of the nation's approximately 300,000 people are Muslims. The president of the Maldives has declared that the island nation has no room for any religion other than Islam. Christians there have been held captive by the government at times and it denies that fact.

6. Afghanistan: The Christian community live with the threat of official harassment and attack by extremists. The U.S. has done nothing to greatly improve the tolerance of Christianity and in fact discourages the teaching of bible studies there by it's troops to Muslims.

7. Yemen: Converts from Islam encounter opposition from the authorities and extremist groups who threaten 'apostates' with death if they do not turn back to Islam. That area is fast becoming a new hotbed for terrorist activity, that is according to the latest reports.

8. Mauritania: Christians face discrimination by Muslims there.

9. Pakistan, Christians have been attacked, there many reports of Islamists' forced conversions by beating and even to death.

10. One of the worst is propbably the Islamic Palestine area, where Christian Arabs are forced to be anti-Israel, for fear they won't even voice about the ongoing persecution and Islamization of Bethlehem and others, or forced conversions. [1] [2] [3] [4][5] [6] [7] [8]

Unfortunately, this situation is as bad as you say. I have written new articles on the Gaza Baptist Church, The Teacher's Bookshop, Islamization of Gaza, Islamization of the Temple Mount and Islamization of Jerusalem under Jordanian occupation. There is a great deal of scope for more articles and more editing on the plight of Christians in both Gaza and the Palestinian Authority areas. I am glad to see someone looking at the plight of Christians in Islamizing regions.AMuseo (talk) 19:49, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Daily Mail

Hi Historianism. Thanks very much for your kind comments. The Daily Mail is what we call in England a tabloid newspaper, i.e. its orientation is popular rather than serious. Its politics are firmly to the right and it is considered non-mainstream on issues related to ethnic minorities. Some people quote the fact that the paper supported Hitler in the 1930s but of course it has been under several editorships since then. The serious papers in the UK, which are always reliable sources in WP terms, are The Times (centre right), the Daily Telegraph (right), The Independent (centre), The Guardian (centre left) and the Financial Times (centre). In this particular case the Daily Mail's reporting was obviously shoddy. It said that Sir Ian Blair had "revealed" the existence of forced conversions, yet it did not cite any of his actual words, and the statement the police eventually issued did not bear out the Mail's version at all.

Dear Judith, Thanks for your reply, IMHO: The Guardian is far lefty biased, The Independent as "center"? all I see is Jihadists or those apologizing for Jihadists quoting 'The Independemt' in demonizing US, Israel on forums, I heard much too humuor about the "title" that never suit them. As to the Daily Mail being connected to Hitler, I am pretty sure that most anti - daily mail do not include it in their political agenda. As to them being a tabloid-paper, I can not disagree with that, in many cases. Historianism 10:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Support for fascism in Mandatory Palestine

I encourage you to write an article on the topic. The material is certainly there. I believe that it was the tone of the article that got people's backs up.AMuseo (talk) 20:37, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
