Persecution of Christians

Sadly so true Penstemmon

What more is there to say? You have already said it, Alea: Quite rightly, thinking people of conscience condemn the persecution of religious minorities. Whether majority or minority religions or majority or minority sects, such actions are sickening and incomprehensible.

I did not mean people in Lahore would not be angered and upset but there have been many atrocities meted out against mainly Muslim communities in Pakistan,Turkey etc. which have not had the mainstream response to Paris/Brussels .

This persecution/racism is evil. It may strike more of a chord in the west where there are a greatr number of Christians. The barbaric use of crucifixion has been used for a while by these murderous groups Apparently the chosen form of execution for gay men. Horrific and vile.

Persecution of any religion is wrong.

Oh dear this has not struck a chord and seems to be of less interest than e.g. odoriferous washing machines

oops repeated intolerance twice in first sentence that was a mistake.

Yes I agree Alea, I fear the intolerance of proselytising religions and the intolerance that goes with it. I am sorry, not only for Christians in Pakistan and the Middle East, few remain now, who live on constant fear but also people such as Yazidis.

I have read about the Indian priest who was allegedly crucified on Good Friday, please God that didn't happen.

The world appears to be a very grim place at the moment.
