Persecution Blog Round Up

It's time again for our weekly Persecution Blogger Round-Up, and as usual we have some wonderful posts for this week.  Special thanks to all of you who are participating and who continue to participate each week.  We truly appreciate you!

Let's begin with a post from Michael who writes at Supply the Word, a post titled Women Missionaries Beaten by Fanatics. Michael writes, "Four women serving as Gospel for Asia missionaries in Haryana, India, were severely beaten in their home on Sunday. Two GFA pastors were also injured in the attack, which was carried out by radical Hindu groups."

Next we have a post from Jordan at The Acton Institute Power Blog called Freedom & the Internet in China.  Jordan explains, "I examine some efforts, including recent legislation, that attempts to address the "multi-faceted challenge to the West to show how economic, religious, and political freedom are interwoven."

Our next post is from Mick who writes at The Romans 15:4 Project a post also about the Women Missionaries who were beaten in India. He reminds us that we must pray for our sisters and the pastors who are being severely persecuted by radical Hindus.

Next,  Hal  at The Great Separation informs readers of the persecution our brothers and sisters are faced with following a new anti-conversion law in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. Hal's post is titled Indian Anti-Conversion Bill Brings Christian Persecution.

The Pen of the Wayfarer writes a post titled On Prophets & Martyrs that is very compelling.

And our last post is from me, as I have written over at my Active Christian Media blog a post titled Stop Hate Crimes Against Christians, which highlights how some Gideon's were arrested for being on a public side walk, and also how a Christian activist was threatened by a radical gay activist with the threat of a sniper outside of his home.  There is also a link to a new website urging people to Stop Hate Crimes in which two grandmothers who were arrested in Philadelphia for simply distrubuting Christian literature, talk about their experience as they were thrown in jail under the Philadelphia hate crimes laws.
