Roman Colosseum to Be Lit Blood Red for Persecuted Christians

in persecution •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hopefully more high visibility events will follow, will never hear of the scale of the persecution on the liberal media, and yeah, most of it is committed by Islam, even in the so-called moderate countries..

"The Roman Colosseum along with two churches in Mosul and Aleppo will be lit up by red lights later this month to draw attention to the global persecution of Christians."

“Christians are the victims of at least 75 percent of all religiously-motivated violence and oppression,” declared the latest report from Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), the group organizing the event, and moreover “the extent of this persecution is largely ignored by our media.”

“In terms of the number of people involved, the gravity of the crimes committed and their impact, it is clear that the persecution of Christians is today worse than at any time in history,” said John Pontifex, editor of the latest ACN biennial report on Christian persecution."

"In the 13 countries where Christians suffer the most intense persecution, the situation has worsened in all but one—Saudi Arabia—in the last two years, and conditions there have stayed the same."

“In almost all the countries reviewed,” the report reads, “the oppression and violence against Christians have increased since 2015 – a development especially significant given the rate of decline in the immediate run-up to the reporting period.”

“The one exception is Saudi Arabia, where the situation was already so bad it could scarcely get any worse,” the report said."

"In its 2018 report, Open Doors noted that Islamic oppression fuels persecution in 8 of the top 10 countries of their Watch List."

Hi @wixl I think we should pray without ceasing for our brothers in Christ, for this injustice, but as the Word says that we will be persecuted and that the time comes, the time of the coming of Christ is near.

I hope this can be an awareness for the many that not only one side of the religion sector is victimized.

Any faith can still be victimized but I think Christians world wide has been set on a "special" higher standard than other world views and at the same time it is being marred for scrutiny, persecution, death; because of the One and only Who came for all.

Indeed..

Even in northern Nigeria, Christians are badly persecuted by Islam. The bible foresaw this too. Let us always pray for believers who are in this region.

Excellent post friend and great work gives a lot to reflect on Christians greetings

Christians are persecuted sadly because we are fast becoming in the minority. When Muslims are having 8 kids per household it is hard to compete. Thanks @wilx.

excellent work
creative mind
keep up the good work

Lord have mercy on our persecutors. Let them see the light, repent and follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
