Islamic Religious Persecution?

In looking through some news on Christian persecution today, I found this interesting article written by Doug Bandow titled - Islamic Religious Persecution (I added the question mark in the title, for obvious reasons)

The West's relations with the Islamic world remain troubled. (And why is that? hmmm)  The latest challenge was the Swiss vote to ban the construction of minarets on mosques.

However, Islamic governments are in no position to complain. They tend to not only violate human rights, but also persecute Christians, Jews and other religious minorities.

Many authoritarian states violate religious liberty along with other freedoms. But Muslim nations are almost unique in their willingness to persecute religious minorities to promote religious ends, as is evident from the State Department's latest report on religious liberty abroad. 

Even the most moderate Islamic states often fall far short of respecting religious minorities. For instance, Morocco detained converts from Islam to Christianity, expelled Christian missionaries, and restricted ``non-Islamic materials and proselytizing.'' Many other Islamic states are far worse.

Click here to continue reading the article and note the countries listed and all the abuses done to Christians.  Please also remember to pray for those trapped and blinded by the father of lies who need so desperately to come to faith in Jesus the Christ.
