were also burned.
State Information Commissioner Gregory Yenlong confirmed that about

An Assyrian
pastor the Iranian government accused of “converting Muslims” is

European Union Growing Ally for
Persecuted Christians?

The religious
rights group Open Doors reports that 100 million Christians
worldwide are persecuted or discriminated against in their own
countries.
Most of them live in nations where Islam is the dominant religion.
Communist nations like China, cuba, and North Korea are also
offenders.
In many of these nations, Christians aren't allowed to build
churches, buy bibles, or find good jobs. In the worst cases, they
are arrested, beaten, and sometimes murdered.
But the European Union is taking....

If you were
counting on a robust offensive (or even a mild defense) from U.S.
churches to stop in its tracks the incursion of Islamism in America,
perhaps you should save up to pay your jizya (tax imposed on
non-Muslims, dhimmis, for the right to exist). Many churches in
America are neither willing nor prepared to counter the influence
and infiltration of Islamism in their own congregations, let alone
in the wider civil society. Rather than fear the judgment of the
Almighty, these churches fear the label “Islamophobic.”
Particularly in the left-leaning mainline denominations, but
disturbingly more and more common with formerly conservative
evangelicals as well,.... more

Pakistani Christian Beaten for Refusing to
Convert to Islam

The four older
Muslim brothers of a 26-year-old Christian beat him unconscious here
earlier this month because he refused their enticements to convert
to Islam, the victim told Compass.
Riaz Masih, whose Christian parents died when he was a boy, said his
continual refusal to convert infuriated his siblings and the Muslim
cleric who raised them, Moulvi Peer Akram-Ullah. On Feb. 8, he said,
his brothers ransacked his house in this Punjab Province town 233
kilometers (145 miles) southwest of Islamabad.
“They threatened that it was the breaking point now, and that I must
convert right now or face death,” Masih said. “They said killing an
infidel is not a sin, ..

Another Copt Killed as Alleged Shooters Plead
Not Guilty in Egypt
Source: Compass Direct News News - Charisma
Three men accused of killing six Coptic worshipers and a security
guard pleaded not guilty on Saturday as the Coptic community mourned
the loss of yet another victim of apparent anti-Christian violence.
The three men allegedly sprayed a crowd with gunfire after a
Christmas service in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, on Jan. 6. In addition to
the seven that were killed, nine others were wounded. The killings
were the worst act of anti-Coptic violence since January 2000, when
20 Copts were killed in sectarian fighting in Al-Kosheh.

Mosul Archbishop Says Christians Live in
Panic, Targeted in Killings
Source: CNS - By Simon Caldwell
The killings of four Iraqi Christians in as many days could
prompt a wave of refugees fleeing northern Iraq, where Christians
live in constant state of panic, said a Catholic archbishop.
Chaldean Archbishop Emil Shimoun Nona of Mosul, Iraq, said he knew
of about 10 Christian families who already had fled the violence.
But he said there was a risk that "all the (Christian) people will
leave" the Nineveh region, of which Mosul is the capital, unless the
attacks against Christians were brought to an end.....
