Christian Persecution
Christianity’s Greatest Menace
By Gary Lane
CBNNews.com - Christians around the world suffer daily because of their faith, and it seems the persecution is intensifying.
CBN News looks at the top two offenders– North Korea and Saudi Arabia.
Countries that persecute Christians usually fall into two camps: those with communist governments and those where Islam as the dominant religion.
In North Korea, the treatment of Christians has reached new lows in brutality.
“There’s one particular account consisting of the shooting deaths of two people caught with Bibles in 1997,” Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia said.
Others are thrown into some of the most brutal prison camps the world has ever seen. Often, two and three generations of Christians are sent to the camps, so that, when the family dies, their faith dies with them.
But communism as a worldwide threat to Christianity has been replaced by a greater menace — Islam.
“The good side of that story is the church is growing in those countries,” Todd Nettleton said.
“That’s why there is persecution because people are coming to Christ and if your power is built on the mosque, built on Islam, when you see Muslims coming to Jesus, that’s a threat.”
