A protester holds a placard during a
rally by hundreds of Christians against recent attacks on churches nationwide,
in Mumbai, February 9, 2015.
Five churches in the Indian capital
New Delhi have reported incidents of arson, vandalism and burglary. The latest
was reported last week when an individual stole ceremonial items.
Hindu radicals in India have
intensified their threats, forced conversions and persecution of Christians,
saying they would cut them “into pieces” if they continue to worship Christ. Such
threats have already forced at least 10 Christian families in a northwest
province to flee from their homes and villages.
Church leaders told the Christian
persecution watchdog Morning Star News that
the 10 families fled from their homes in the Indian state of Rajasthan, which
shares a border with Pakistan, because of death threats coming from Hindus
seeking to turn Christians away from Christ and “reconvert” them to Hinduism.
The Hindu extremists have threatened
to harm anyone who mentions Christ’s name or participates in church functions.
The threats have prevented Christians in the area from worshiping for over two
months.

Aren't Hindus supposed to be the ultimate passivists...unless, oh wait, they've heard that some people in Europe and North America are offering sanctuary to victims of religious persecution. Why we need to make the distinction between refugees and immigrants very very clear!
In the Roman Empire some Christians invited government officials to persecute them so they could atone for their sins by being martyrs (they were dying anyway). Can youall picture poor Indian Christians inviting their neighbors to persecute them so they can go to America and get rich? Yes, we know it doesn't work that way. But they still think it does.
