Christian persecution

[NobodyYouKnow]

There is no persecution. Simply people wanting to whine about how not everyone agree's with their viewpoint. They want the victim card.

Pretty much.

It seems that everybody is playing the 'victim card' these days.

How can Christians be persecuted in the USA, when if you are not a Christian, you cannot hold office in 10 States? (so I was told yesterday).

How can Christians be persecuted in the USA, when 78% of all religious beliefs in the USA are Christian, making them a 'majority group'?

How can they be, when their monuments are allowed to stand, but monuments to other religions are not? (in certain places).

You go on the news....onto a forum like this...and in the space of 24hrs, read 'Atheists are being persecuted against'...'Christians are being persecuted against'...'Hindus are being persecuted against'...'Muslims are being persecuted against'...'blacks are being persecuted against'...'whites are being persecuted against'...'women are being persecuted against'...'men are being persecuted against'...

Seriously people, is there anybody left who is not being 'persecuted against?'

Or there might actually have a valid point here (that's a link back to one of my earlier posts). I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea of Christians being persecuted across the globe. I'm not a fan of the somewhat overzealous propagandistic spin the OP is taking on the topic, but the fact remains it does happen.

Its possible they are persecuted elsewhere in the globe not not in America, Canada or any other 1st world nation I know of. Though I suppose also they need to define "persecution".

If they define it as "not getting their way 100%" then yes I suppose they can be considered persecuted. But are they killed? Have laws put into effect to discriminate against them? Have a social construct built into the society to shun them in mass? No. Literally every other religious viewpoint (or lack thereof) has suffered more persecution than Christianity in America.

Whether there is an increase of attacks against Christians or there is a rise in the reporting of said attacks I will yield the answer to those that are more knowledgeable in that area. However, the comments that justify these attacks by saying that attackers perceive the indigenous Christians as representing the US is farfetched. There is indications that these attacks will rise to two areas, Afghanistan and Nigeria. These two areas are scheduled for elections this year. In Nigeria, the Islamic militant group Boko Haram has already declared war on the Nigerian president and on Christians in order to change the government into an Islamic based government. In Afghanistan, NATO will be pulling troops out and the Taliban will reemerge and attempt to take more control of the country and the government. And we all know the mindset of the Taliban toward non Muslims. In addition to Christians facing Taliban extremism the women of Afghanistan will suffer. In North Korea we see hostility against religious sects of any stripe. In actuality I see a rise in attacks by Islamic extremist against anyone who does not accept their idea of Islam.

"Prominent indicators confirm that the U.S. is the chief facilitator of the persecution of Christians around the world today."

Don't forget to mention all those Christians in Guantamano who haven't been charged or had. Or the millions displaced due to war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
