A very interesting article appears on The Parliament website today concerning statements made by the "controversial" Slovakian deputy Anna Zaborska at a recent conference dealing with religious freedom.
She told a parliamentary debate that "all people who held Christian beliefs need to be aware of this danger."
Addressing a discussion on religious freedom, the centre-right MEP said, "I wonder if there will be new period of persecution of Christians?
"Do you remember that the European court of human rights ruled that a crucifix in a public space hurts the freedom of belief for citizens?
"This persecution in Europe is not an ordinary persecution.
"The Roman empire is over where Christians ended up in prison or served as dinner for a lion.
"The modern form of persecution may be hidden, sophisticated and a socially-accepted persecution."
She added, "We need to be aware of this hidden danger and to stand up.
"The time is over when Christians were somehow protected and automatically protected."
Do I hear an Amen anyone?
